Does anyone know if it's possible to assign a function to the trackball (or other button) to perform a specific action in an application.
The particular scenario I'm trying to cover here is mute and un-mute of the microphone during a voice call. I have not been able to find a way to mute and un-mute a call without turning on the screen, unlocking the phone and then pressing the mute button in the phone app. What I'd love to be able to do is just press the trackball or press and hold the up or down volume buttons to mute or un-mute the phone.
I travel quite a bit for business and walking through an airport with a headset on and the phone on mute it's VERY inconvenient to have to stop, put a bag down follow the three steps listed above just to chime in on a conference call.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi:
I've been searching for info how to achieve the following, which I can't get done so far:
I have stereo bluetooth headphones with a mic. These are great for receiving calls, when you don't have the phone easily accessible, like in the car etc.
They have only two buttons, one is a two-way joystick for loudness. The other one is a receive/hangup button using which you can accept incoming calls.
What I'd like to do is to enable it to activate voice dial when I press it, to make a phone call.
So far I've only discovered that if I hold it depressed a long time, then the headset redials the last-dialed number.
In some instances after a call, when I've pressed the button, voice dial has come up and asked for the called id, however I cannot replicate this behavior, and it doesn't do it when the home screen is visible. Only I think after I've dialed from the headset, then hang up. Then at that screen press the button, but it's not stable.
So it seems though, to use the button to activate voice-dial is possible. I'd just like to set it up so that it works.
Anyone know how to?
Try holding one of the buttons
Depending on the BT adapter, you might have to hold down the receive/hangup button till you hear a confirming beep.
its usually a short press for voicedial a little longer press for redial last number. so try just doing short press insead of holding it down
or any on screen buttons in the HTC dialer. anyone know how to get rid of it? its supppper annoying
A little more information would be helpful -
1. does this tone happen when you press a button while on a call?
2. if it does - does your other party hear it or only you?
3. what buttons does it happen on touch screen buttons or only the buttons on the front of the phone?
4. is this when you have speaker phone on or a headset or simply using the phone?
5. is it only when you hang up or any button at any time while on a call?
6. do the buttons make normal sounds when you are NOT on a call?
7. have you turned off sound on your buttons - have you at least tried this to see if it kills the problem?

when in the dialer go Menu->Options then Keypad: Off
ahh keypad tones off got rid of the annoying beep lol thanks! wish there was a way i keep the beep for the numeric keypad without the obnoxious beep that came out of the speakerphone part rather than the ear piece when backspace/ call history/ speed dial is pressed
jut realized it still makes the annoying noise when it connects to a call
i found that someone had my exact problem on a wings smartphone. they edited the registires in order to turn it off. i played arround with mine all day but no luck. here is the thread if anyone can apply it to a kaiser id be very greatful!

Hi I searched in this forum but could not find the answer, is there any way to disable the wheel during a call? i hold phone in my left hand, and even with screen locked, the wheel turns so the screen unlocks, leading to my ear pressing the soft buttons on the screen, which is a problem because often my ear presses the end button!
Use the speaker phone option. You can hear the person on the other end without picking up the phone....
bump - any love here?
phone canvas?
I was having the exact same problem, but now I use AE Button Plus. I set the scroll wheel to only be active when the today screen is active. It works perfectly.
Hi,
does anyone know if there is anything that would enable receiving calls by pressing trackball? I think it would be very useful as quite often I simply have trouble to receive call by swiping the unlock on the screen (especially when I am outside - skiing etc.). The trackball is pretty "hard" to press so I am not concerned about it being pressed automatically.
On top, it would be great to be able to wake the phone up by pressing trackball (i.e. emulate the power button).
Thanks
hi there
one thing can be solved.
nexus one can be turned by pressing the track ball.
install the cyanogen mod latest software, there is an option of waking up the phone by pressing the track ball.
but still cant answer the call by pressing the track ball.
Yep, know about the wake up option but still nobody able to enable answering the call?
Any chance of implementing Headphone Button?
One of the best things on X1 is that i can simply press the button when I'm listening to the music and someone is calling me, instead of taking whole phone out to answer that call.
