At the risk of being flamed, I'm asking this question anyway. Before you assume I didn't search and jump at me like a pack of wild dogs, look at my post count and see how I've contributed to the community. I'm just new to this particular device.
I recently bought my wife an AT&T Tilt. She really loves the phone but since she works in a Customer Service industry, she constantly has to change the volume on her phone. It's just an inconvenience to have to hit the little volume icon every time and deal with the basic volume controls every time.
Is there any way to map the jog/scroll wheel to volume control so that you can adjust the volume simply and without having to go through all the crap every time to adjust the volume?
I have searched for the past 2 hours but all I keep finding are dead threads from like a year ago without a single useful answer. I don't care how crude the fix is. I'm VERY familiar with the registry and even how to make cabs. If anyone knows a fix for this issue please please post it here so I can make her happy(she's 9 months pregnant and VERY moody!!).
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

Just use AE Button to map HTC Vol control to the side OK button. Then with one hand you can press the side OK, call up HTC vol control on screen and then thumb up to the jog wheel to control vol. This is a feature of PDA Corner roms and I love the ease of vol control.

I have four kids and the joy they bring, quickly makes you forget the hell that led up to them. That is how I had three more after the first.

Er... I have one question... WHERE is the HTC Vol Control app? (directory-wise)

This one's got me stumped, I may just be overlooking a simple answer but it hasn't happened previously on my Magician or Vario before.
I carry my Vario III around in a large coat pocket for most of the time. I have a lot of appointments and calls which activate the screen when they occur. I then have the problem when fishing around for the device that a) I answer the call from touching the screen, b) End the call from touching the screen, c) Open a load of different apps where the appointments have made the screen go live and the movement in the pocket has brushed the screen.
All I want to do is use only the hardware buttons ie. Answer, End, Power button. Where can I find the settings for this? The "key settings" menu or "buttons" doesn't cover it so where is it? It's driving me mad!
Hold down the 'red' phone button to lock all but 'Power' and 'Unlock' soft key.
You can still answer a call as normal when it comes in with the with the 'green' phone key.
Thanks. I know about the standard lock, but then you're into multi key press territory to unlock it. I just wondered if someone knew of a way (or program) that once the screen was off it stayed off until the answer, reject or power button was pressed and then in the case of the power button the device returns to "normal".
I'm not sure if your idea would be very viable. The screen has to come on so that you can see who's calling!
Pretty pointless to reject a call when you don't know who it is.
I understand what you are trying to get at but wouidn't you still have the problem of not being able to use any other functions within a call like looking up a Contact or checking your Calendar. Hitting the Power button during a call to get back to normal use would be a bit 'hit n miss'.
Thanks for the reply. I agree it's not ideal and I guess if it was something everyone wanted someone would have brought a .CAB out for it. That my Q answered in any case. Thanks again.
Try searching the forum for 'S2U2'. It might be what you're looking for.
That should cover it just fine. Thanks for the pointer.
Nice one helterskelter
Didn't think he would want to open it to answer a call thats all as he seems to have big fingers and hit everything but 'Answer'
No, sorry, just my dark humour...
Hope you are sorted.
Can anybody tell me if there are any hardware buttons on the sides of the Diamond? i'm guessing there is a button to operate the camera (correct me if i'm wrong) but is there a push and hold button for the voice recorder like maost previous HTC devices?
Cheers
Paul
The only hardware buttons on the Diamond are the volume up and down keys at the side of the phone. But there is no push and hold button for the voice recorder as far as i know or could see from various websites that have pics of the phone.
i couldn't see any either, just wondering of somebody who has the sexy, cute, fast, err... phone may be able to tell me!

I doubt it, seeing as the guy over at www.coolmartphone.com has had one for over a week and he doesnt mention anything about other buttons on the side of the phone other than the volume up and down keys.
no there are no hard buttons, just the volume controls and the power button...
Aww crap, there goes any chance of me getting my employer to buy me one! we have a gps based app which requires a push-and-hold button to activate it.
ah well......
The latest video shows Voice Commander being allocated to the push & hold on Button 1 which is the phone hardware (green) button. So, yes is the short answer.

I just ordered one from expansys, so i guess i'll find out tomorrow morning! Thanks for your input fellas!
Hi guys! I am buying a Nexus One. I just read about the power button problem. I wanted to know if there is any way that I could take care of my power button so that it does not break. I also wanted to know if there was a possible way of remapping the power button, for example the power button dies out on me, I could use the Volume up button to power on my device (cold boot).
Well that depends if you're running stock ROM or rooting and installing a custom ROM. I'm gonna assume you're gonna root and say to get a ROM with trackball root. This way you can unlock with the trackball and save your power button. You can also get a one of many apps that lets you lock the phone from a homescreen widget.
If you're not planning on rooting you could install GoLocker which would let you unlock with the volume rocker. Think the locking widgets should still work too.
Hope that helps.
I read somewhere that pressing the power button from the side closest to the headphone jack would also prevent damage to it. Is this true? I haven't really gotten my N1 yet so it's kind of hard to visualize how the power button works on it.
Yeah like addam360 stated, I use CM7 ROM with trackball unlock/trackball wake.
Barely use my power button. There's also app like Quickboot which let me reboot or reboot to recovery without having to use the button.
CM7 ROM also have an option to shut down via widget.
As for which side to push I really couldn't tell you.

I've had my N1 for over a year with no power button issues - Check out my signature; I did a huge long post explaining my reasoning.

So that's where I got the info of pressing closest to the audio jack. Thanks very much for the info. So what if I were to place a thin piece of paper between the trace and the plastic power button head so that it does not press down on the trace? Do you think this will help preserve the trace?
I have had my nexus one for a year and 8 months, I haven't payed attention to where I click the button and its still working properly.

Mine failed around that time. Luckily still under warranty so HTC fixed it. (Audio jack went at same time and fixed also)

If anything, that would probably push the trace down more every time you pressed the power button. If you really want to try a fix, see about grinding down the part of the power button above the trace - that way you won't accidentally press it on the wrong side.
I'm using an EVO 3d so I don't have insight for the N1 but I do know moving parts break. It's one reason I think slideout keyboards are retarded. But most aosp roms allow trackball wake. Me personally I think my volume down is going out. Scrolling in recovery to my download folder is like 16 presses lol. Lucky for me I can get a new back cover and be back to new.

I miss the embedded recorder and screenshot!
Does anyone have any ideas? I did find an app on GP for recording (prefer embedded) but have not had any luck with finding a screenshot that actually works...
tis,
gbh
Screenshot is suppose to be power button + volume down. Works for me.

Caused by datamining. The dev's at Google know about the use of features. The majority seems not to use this.
Same with a dark theme. It is easy to embed. But it's not in Android.
We are probably a minority.
@Getabiggerhammer:
Screenshot: Power + Volume Down
Screen Record: Power + Volume Up
@NLBeev: They're still present. The devs at Google simply can't code their way out of wet paper bags.
Thanks everyone,
Yes I tried the volume down+power and the volume down+ home neither seem to work though. If I knew how to root my old plum phablet it had an extra button added to take snaps that worked flawlessly on 4.2. I was hoping someone might know of code floating around somewhere or an app, but then that might not help me anyway since there must be some other issue going on if you all can get it to work and I cant.

You just have to press the two buttons at exactly the same time, and keep them pressed for around half a second. It won't work if you happen to press either button a little bit before the other.

@runecock, that's the trick thanks! It works!
So I am re-purposing an old LG V20 as a music player. Everything is perfect, it's a great phone, except that the reason I got a new one is that the volume keys are jacked. Press Volume Up, and it will suddenly stick and jump all of the way up. I'm not sure what's up, but it sucks. Right now, my workaround is to press Volume Down, so the volume popup appears onscreen, and drag it where I want, but if I could make Vol Up and Vol Down buttons in Tasker, it would be nicer and give me more granular control. I just don't know if I can do that or not. Like I said, phone isn't rooted because Verizon is run by jerks who want to fill your phone full of bloatware that nobody even uses, but they still draw a paycheck for.
Anyway, tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Within tasker you can use the keyboard action for volume up/down then set shortcuts/widgets to link to the tasks [emoji846]

Thanks, looks like what I needed. I wasn't finding one when searching, except one that stated right off the bat that the phone needed to be rooted. Which is why I posted and listed int he subject that the phone wasn't rooted. I was hopping there was a possible solution for us folks that are stuck with Verizon's crap.
