i've been looking to get my device to actually lock by holding the end key. after searching, the only thing i've found is the htc long end key. the thing is, i know there's the factory lock program on the phone because its there when i go to the programs tab of htc home. my question is, does ANYONE know where this icon is actually associated to? i'm trying to make a "long_end.ink" and direct it to that but i can't find it anywhere.

Hey,
I've noticed that after a call the start bar freezes? I can't access it using the hard button or even the touch button.
Has anyone got a fix for this?
Thanks
A short press on thepower button to turn the screen off and another to turn it on again will fix your problem. This has been discusssed previously and the cause is a bug in the HTC ROM when your device is password protectd.
Either turn off your password, or if it has been forced on by your company´s exchange server you can look for a little app called "stayunlock" I believe, which will effectivly prevent the exchange server from enforcing the password.
Don´t have the link handy right now, but this app is floating around somewhere either here or on www.modaco.com
Hope it helps!
Thanks
I think i'll still get a brand new phone from t-mobile hehe... hopefully once the kitchen opens we'll get super roms..!
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.
Hi Everyone. I was hoping someone might be able to help me with something. I'm looking for a way to assign a different key on my AT&T tilt as the power button. Basically I would like to have the end key act as the power button when it is pressed down and held for a few seconds. I've been searching all the Kaiser threads the last couple days. And I've found several threads that start to mention the topic, but I'm still not clear on it. The best solution looked to be AE button plus...but then I saw in another thread that it doesn't work for the power button. So, if this kind of question has already been answered, I apologize...I just couldn't find it.
So, can anyone either push me in the right direction, or give me some pointers on the best way to search for this info on the site? I really appreciate it.
Thanks!!!
The power key is connected directly to the mainboard so as far as i'm aware there is no way to assign a different button to power.
However there may be a way to assign the end call key to turn the phone off only, but it wouldn't be able to turn it back on unless you use the power key.
I'll have a look now.
AE Button Plus would work for turning it off, it does have that option. However, you would still need to use the regular power button to turn it back on.
Okay, I'm having an odd one and searching around here for about three hours yielded me nothing, so I'm going to lay it down here:
The keylock on my Diamond fails to function at all. I've got the New SwiftBL Diamond ROM 6.0 installed since yesterday, and I think that is also when this started. I will also post this in the ROM's topic.
I checked the following settings:
- Settings, Long Press End Key is set to Automatically Execute: Lock Devie
- Settings, Key Lock is set to Lock all buttons except Power button.
I get no error messages, the only thing I see when holding the End Key is a short flicker of the screen, after which the Home Screen comes up. Do note that the keys are not appropriately locked.
I do not wish to use S2U2, and I am wondering why locking my device does not work. Anyone having any ideas?
you get this is you put a pin or password to protect your diamond and use one of the cooked roms, most roms have this bug now and i'm yet to find a fix other then to remove the password/pin completly
yeah, i have had this issue, its the rom. just let swiftblade know and wait for the next release
Able to lock (with issue)
Hi, I agree this is a bug. I configured my exchange account and have the lock policy enforced by my server. With the stock ROM there was no problem at all. But after the upgrade to the RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship ROM, the Long Press End Key no longer works to lock the device (the screen flicks).
I found a **workaround** (but not solution ). Long press the end key (as you normally would) and wait for the screen flick, press the power button (it have to be the first key touched after the screen flick). That's all, the device should be locked now.
My wife was traveling this week, and she called me to complain that her menu button on her Hero wasn't working any more (it kept her from playing solitaire... ohh the horror). She said that every time she pressed the menu key it took her back to the home screen.
I thought that she had just been hitting in between the two keys and not directly on the menu button, but when she got home I tried and for whatever reason her menu key has remapped itself to function as the home key.
I did some searching online but did not find much information. One person said they just got Sprint to give them a new phone, and one person said they hit their phone really hard and it started working again... Does anyone know of a method to fix this, or am I going to have to convince her to get a new phone?
theres a root app in the market that allows hardkey remapping.
Is this the one you are talking about

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That should work, or, if you want to do it "old school", here's a tutorial...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936
Go old school!
So I managed to use the "old school" method to pull the button config file...
And according to the software the menu button was still functioning fine. So as a work-around I just mapped the home key to MENU, and my wife said she would just use the back button to get back to her home screen.
I guess it is more of a hardware issue then, since both the menu and home keys are sending the same ID... Ohh well. We have the replacement plan, so if I can convince her to replace her phone then she gets a new one.. if not she can keep this little reason I have a headache every few days.
