Quite randomly, the start, OK, and application shortcut buttons on my Orange tytn ii have stopped working properly.
In ScummVM, I can use them as normal, they're not DEAD, but they don't do what they should. The start button doesn't open the start menu, the ok button does nothing, and the application shortcuts seem to think they're the softkeys...
Yet the softkeys do as well.
I suspect scummvm of having something to do with it, it only started after I remapped a key I was using in that.
So, does anyone know of this problem?
If not, do you think it's likely that ScummVM is changing registry entries or something to prevent windows from intercepting the keys then changing them back on exit, and not done it for some reason?
It's got to be as easy as changing some registry keys, I just don't know which ones and what to.
Thanks in advance
Hmm, after re-setting all the buttons in the "Buttons" control panel they're working again. I'll just put this down to general windows annoyances.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering... is it possible to change the hardware buttons permanently? I mean, if I do a soft reset, the button are mapped back to their original settings. Do I have to modify the registry and how?
I would prefer a solution that does not require software if possible.
Thx !!
hahahaha, it's all software. Even the OS!
Maybe I wasn't clear...
I mean "I prefer a solution that does not require additional software". Is there a setting in the OS (maybe a registry hack) to change the buttons mapping?
hi atzakas,
after softreset buttons should not be mapped back, they should be as you mapped them in Settings.
They are mapped back if you do hard-reset, but that is understandible, you can't hack it.
you can also check this app with 40 additional commands for hardware buttons:
http://handster.com/product.php?id=6
there you can map to buttons things like: switch programs (Alt-Tab), backlight loop, new task, new appointment, etc
Regards,
Victor
Thanks for the reply, but I wouldn't have asked if it was so simple.
I change the button settings, then do a soft reset and the settings are back to the original settings.
I guess I'll have to live with that
i experienced the same problem with an O2 XDA IIi, however, this is cured misteriously recently
On my old ETEN M600 (RIP) I had a phone pad app/skin that gave me big buttons and when a dial button was pressed the phone vibrated for a 1/4 of a second. It was great physical feedback to feel that little blip when a button was pressed and I believe it allowed me to dial numbers quicker. Anyone know of a app that enables this for the Tilt/Kaiser?
And yes I did a search for this before I posted a new thread.
Thanks

How to set up one button press on/off with device and screen locked
Also for those that are interested. I have AE Button Plus, Ilauncher and DeviceLock by Matt Armstrong installed on my Tilt. The combination of these programs allow me to program the left softkey to turn off the Tilt. Matt's Devicelock auto locks the phone and prevents any other buttons to be pressed. When I want to use the phone I can press the left hard key that corresponds with the left soft key and that turns on the phone and unlocks it with one button push. This set up gives me one button off/on and all other keys and the screen is locked from accidental button pushes. Now I just wished that Devicelock would shut off the phone after 10 seconds if not unlocked. Right now my phone is in my pocket and if I accidentally push any button other then the left hard key my screen will turn on in a locked state and time out only after 1 minute if no other buttons are pressed. I would like it to turn back off faster.
BTW Thanks Matt
Not an app but it can be done with registry tweaking:
[It involves modifying registry keys so beware].
Navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
In here there are a bunch of keys named Dtmf which represent all the keypad keys [0-9, #, *]
Rename Standard DWORD parameter Sound to Sound1
Create new String Parameter Sound
Assign value *vibrate* to this new parameter.
Save and exit, test it, then go back and do the same for all your keys, sorted.
A .cab for this?
Is there a .cab floating around for these reg settings?
It would be a great contribution to the community if someone could whip up a cab to make these reg changes ;-)
Wow, now that was usefull. I had installed some small prog to do the same, but it didn't work great. It wouldn't vibrate unless you pressed for a more than 250 ms. This mod vibrates immediately! Thanks!
someone should tell Kaisertweaks that that needs to go in
Here you go, working great on the TyTN II
That's what I'm talking about

Thanks Gizmo!
I love this place. Where would WinMo be without xda-developers???
Any chance you could upload the .cab directly instead of zipped? For some reason it won't extract on my tilt and I can't get to a PC tonight.
Thanks again.
Sure thing, here you go
Installed and it is working great. This is really a great tweak!
aren't dtmf tones what are used for things like voicemail and such? like "press 7 to delete" it recognizes the sound? does this affect that at all?
I don't think this tweak has any effect on dtmf tones. I just tried my VM and everything worked as usual.
strange...i installed this on my tilt (htc rom) and when i touched a button there was no vibrate, until about 5 seconds later, it was delayed i guess, and after that i never felt another vibrate, even after a few resets.
bump.
would like to get this working.
Will this make it beep and vibrate or just vibrate? It would be cool it it could do both at once!. Also, maybe post cab to revert back to just the sound in case anyone wants to change it back?
Mikeeey,
Try holding the number down a little longer. If you just touch it, it will display the number but not vibrate.. I had the same trouble also.
I do appreciate the afford, but shouldnt it just work when it notices a keypress, not a long keypress.
You have to hold it for a little time. Thats how it works

That's how the cab file works. But when I did the registry edits as listed in the 2nd post, then it is an immediate vibrate. I used to use the cab file version. I removed that and went with the direct reg edits. Now it vibrates immediately.

thanks for pointing that out dalewinterstein, it works for me now.
i did the manual reg edit to try and make it respond faster but it doesnt, actually the keys lighting up after being pressed dont respond fast enough to my presses, does this happen for anyone else? i mean if i hold it just a bit longer it will light up and vibrate but im normally faster than that.
my volume button didn't work. I don't know after installing which software it happens. but now my volume button only go to volume screen but it can't make it lower or higher?
how should I fix it?
Check your dial pad style in Advance config Change it back to the htc diamond dial pad...
I use 7 hours for solving this problem. 555

Hope it help...
i have this bug every now and again on Dutty's ROM, a soft reset seems to fix mine, anyone else had anything similar to this?
I have same situation when PocketMusic player is running. It locks volume change somehow. Up/Down buttons shows volume screen, but do not change volume. It doesn't matter if player is running foreground or background. When I exit the player, buttons work again as expected.
Maybe you have same problem.
phone pad style did not work. but after hard reset it become ok. I had this problem in OEM ROM Dutty and swift, so I think one of my applications make this problem, I should install my application one by one tonight and find buggy application.
I have the same issue that caused by VibrationFeedbackConfig app. I have to use the default bubble volume slider instead cuz I want to keep this app.
To do that, using a registry editor, go to HLCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Services\HTCVOLUME, rename \Windows\HTCVolumeControl.dll to \Windows\HTCVolumeControl.dll.bak and reset your device.

S2U2
Hi Guys,
I had the same problem. Just uninstalled S2U2 v1.35 and then the volume worked normal.
greets
These two programs have been killing me lately. The biggest problem (and the one I didnt see anything on when I searched) is with S2U2. My problem is that pressing the end key on my Verizon Touch Pro seems to stop S2U2 and puts me on the home screen. This is a problem because I installed S2U2 so that I wouldnt accidentally call people when the phone is in my pocket. The only reason I posted this is because I accidentally called someone today because of this problem. Is there any fix that will stop S2U2 from ending when the end key is accidentally pressed? Right now I am locking the keys using windows built in key lock and then using S2U2. This takes much more time than just pressing the power button and letting S2U2 kick in when it wakes up. If I could get the built in keylock to kick in on wakeup also or if I could get S2U2 to not respond to the end key, my problem would be fixed.
My second problem is with HTC's Task Manager in the top righthand corner of touchflo. Every once and awhile it will just disappear. I searched for this and came up with a couple of solutions that didnt work. I tried checking and unchecking the box in the buttons section that says "Enable quick menu on today screen." The only way to get it to reappear is to do a soft reset. Thats really frustrating. So is there any real fix for that? If not, what would you suggest for a replacement task manager that blends in with touchflo? I really just want something simple like HTC's task manager where it shows my tasks in a drop down and I can exit out of each one just like I do now. I really like how HTC's task manager is setup, but I cant deal with it disappearing.
Hi i have a problem with my MDA IV Compact. I searched the forums but found no answer to my problem.
I want to do some basic button remapping and so i go to settings -> personal -> buttons and guess what. There are NO buttons listed in the buttons list.
Has anyone come across this before and if so can you help me solve it? I mean there are only few hardware buttons present in diamond its a shame not to be able to map them.
Button mapping...
The only button you can map by default is the long press of the 'dial' hardware key. This should be showing in your button list as 'Button 1(Hold)'. There is an application called GScroll available here, which lets you map the four hardware keys by touch (double tapping them). Not exactly what you're after, but it's all I can think of to help you out
thats thing. i get NO buttons on my list gscroll looks nice. too bad its not free ware. but its cheap so i may get it.
you can use dredsensor
this tool allow you to remap buttons depending on running programs
No, no, no!
Diamond CAN have its call key remapped via Windows.
I had the opposite; a glitch entry appeared in the buttons list.
I am attaching a reg-file which will bring back the call button mapping. But be careful, this comes from Windows with localization patch.
Or, you can hard reset. If MDA CIV ROM creators didn't remove it intentionally, it should be there.
