I'm really enjoying "tuning" my new Tilt using the various tricks/tweaks posted here but am struggling with one tweak that I'm hoping someone has some idea on how to do.
I noticed quite by accident that if you push the jog wheel (vs. rolling it up or down) while on a call it puts the call on hold (push it again and it takes it off hold). I personally never use the "hold" feature - instead I'd love to change that jog wheel action to mute the phone. Any ideas on how you can change the job wheel "push button" behaviour for the phone app to be "Mute" vs. "Hold"? Thanks!
Is it possible to program one of the hot keys to be a phone mute/unmute button, or is there a need to create an app?
I'll check out if I can make an app out of it tomorrow unless anyone posts anything different. I made a key lock app for the PTT soft button. I might make it mute your call if you're in a call or lock your phone if you're not. Anyway, lets hope it can be done without an app or with an app and you'll have it by tomorrow evening. Do you have the Tilt, Tytn, or Vario?
Thanks for your prompt response. I have an unlocked TYTN II.
You might not have a PushToTalk button. Got any of the other buttons in mind? You can map it to whatever, and I'll check it out tomorrow. See my first post titled "First Post / KeyLock" for my keylock app and a link on how to map the PTT button. Other buttons should be similarly mapped.
Would like to use the green phone button for this purpose.
I'm interested in this too (I swear I live on concalls for work right now). Either the green button or the ok button on the side of the phone. But I'm curious, will the phone have to be "on" (ie: not sleeping) for this to work? Currently I use the reTOUCHed dialer and just go to Call Status screen and tap the mute / unmute toggle on the screen to do this (which works well since they are bigger buttons than the default dialer on the Tilt). But having it mapped to a hardware button would be very nice.
Was there ever any progress on this? I'd like to assign the PTT button to mute/unmute during a call. I am constantly on conference calls and having to use the touchscreen to do this is ridiculous.
Hi all, on my previous HTC Wizard the side slider would control the volume of callers when on a call. During an incoming call if I needed to mute the ringtone, a quick slide of it would do that too. In fact all mobiles I know will mute an incoming call ringtone by pressing volume up/down.
But how are either of these two features possible on the Kaiser?
hmmmm..my scrollwheel does control the call volume
thats wierd, even on a stock rom tilt you can use the scroller for volume during call.

Do you actually own a Kaiser? or are you just asking how it works?
as both these features you have mentioned work fine on the Kaiser's scroll wheel.
Okay I am starting to get to the bottom of this. I do own a Kaiser, but have the HTC Enlarge Title Bar app installed. This was a very useful app that made finger usage easier. When you tap say the volume icon, it produced a large bubble with bigger icons for volume, data, phone, etc.
I have uninstalled it and the scroll wheel does now change volume during a call. Before, just the bubble would pop up! Shame, as it was an otherwise nice app.
BUT, I still cannot mute an incoming call ringtone like all other phones allow you to. Any ideas on that one?

Mine mute's with the wheel.
Not muting by wheel..
I have the exact same problem; cannot silence the ringtone by using the scrollwheel, worked perfectly on default ROM...
Maybe has something to do with S2U2? (Cause i didn't have it on the previous ROM)...
Any clues would be nice!
I already posted the solution above. It does now seem to also silence the ringtone if you uninstall the Title Bar app.
Looking for some help with a registry hack for my Tilt. I have remapped my PTT button as Button 6 and Button 6 (hold); and have assinged them to Phone and Voice Dial using the "assign a program" drop down menu at the bottom of the Settings/Buttons function. What I would love to be able to do is to assign Button 6 to a function that would both answer an incoming call, and turn on speaker phone at the same time. Has anyone seen a hack that would do this? Appreciate the help.
Both my parents have new L90s and are having trouble answering calls. The screen that pops up when someone calls them, the answer call button is in the corner and can be difficult for them to tap on and slide. It is also not very responsive, from my testing. Any way I can replace it with another one that uses bigger buttons and maybe a more obvious direction for sliding?
Via settings /call you can set the home button to answer calls
