i think this might have been discussed before in other forums. you may want to do a search on this and i believe you can find the results.
just out of curiousity, why would you want to activate vibrate effect for keypress? you are using 1800MAH battery?
Here
Heres an app that works fine with my Diamond. He's right, though, battery conservation is crucial on this phone, unless you can charge it all the time, like at work in the car, etc. Here it is anyways.

just loaded the vibrate phone pad vibrate cab, I was hoping the the keyboard for texting would also vibrate.
Is this possible to change

[sticky!!!!] The "answer Only With Hw Buttons" option or similar solution...

[sticky!!!!] The "answer Only With Hw Buttons" option or similar solution...
...a lot to read... and a lot of solutions!
thank you guys!
Just an Idea... maybe its possible to set the Touchscreen sensitivity to VERY low everytime there is incoming Phone call. And then you cant accidentially press one of the onscreen buttons. However, i think registry entries only change after a softreset. MAybe there is some workaround?
this solution will affect the entire normal use of the diamond. :-(
anyone knows a cook?
it can't be so difficult.
I'm willing to pay the money saved in missed calls in one week. It could be a lot, for sure...
Agreed! it would be a great feature to have

Well actually i meant it a different way. Imagine.. There is an incoming Call... This call is recognized, and the touch sensitivity is set to very low. After the call is done, or the call is taken, the sensitivity is restored..
yep... but i suggest this like a second try....
the easiest way is to create a new phone skin.
the best is a "only hw buttons" option
i can't believe to the drink beer app... useless but true... and nothing about this bug... it's incredible.
I would be satisfied to have ALL the hardware keys to be locked during incoming calls and the screen locked and need to unlock the screen with ie a slide before be able to answer... As the hardware buttons also is easy to press when it's in the pocket when your sitting etc.

I think we're half a million to damn this bug.
WE ALL NEED to lock the screen buttons.
WE ARE BORED of losing calls or answer accidentally taking out the diamond from our pockets.
WE NEED A SOLUTION.
WE DON'T WANT S2U2 AS A WORKAROUND.
HELP US.
AND YOU'LL BE REWARDED.
['cos right now... we still spending money on calls we miss. s##t.]

I don't get it. My on/off button is set to lock all other buttons when the device is off, apparently meaning the display. At calls the display is off after a few seconds and I have two choices to bring it back - push the on/off or remove the stylo causing notes to launch. Hence the only insident where I can see a problem is when the display is trickered to go on (alarm or incoming call) and it's way down the bag you may push something. Here I suspect the solution is to have it in a pouch. Anyway, I have seen many yields about this so i'll surely be victimised one day as well.
Its a really challenging app to make.
Think about it. How can u lock the keys yet mantain the ability to answer anytime with one button.
Tough call
maybe using the light sensor ... in the pouch screen off- out the pouch screen on

what if your are in the dark? I think the best solution is to make a dialer without the buttons

No, touching the screen will not bring the screen ON, the only thing that will bring the screen ON is pressing a hard key.
It's an excellent idea to make the light sensor feel if it's in the dark, and if so shut down the screen, the only problem is that nobody knows how to reliably do this for all ROMs (even official).
Take a look here guys... already lots of posts on this

1 a new phone skin without any buttons is the easiest solution i guess
2 changing the sensibility pressure works only on soft reset
3 light sensor... nice, but i don't think it's the best way to do this
isn't a predefined "lock screen" function on the diamond?
i'm a developer but i dunno nothing about pda application... i think it's weird if no one thought to a simple "block screen" function.

[Q] No Unlock + disable hardware buttons

Hi!
I have been trying a couple of locksreens, but somehow I realized, I don't need them at all, when I turn on my phone, I want full functionality, not just a lockscreen.
So I found "Nolock" on the market, which is almost perfect, only problem is that it unlocks with hardware buttons as well. Perfect solution would be to only unlock with a tap on the turned off screen, which cannot be delivered in any other way but your finger(e.g: in your pocket it shouldn't work, thanks to the capacitive touchscreen), and hardware buttons wouldn't react.
Is it possible somehow?
I can't belive nobody is interested!
Bump!
you will need a willing developer to use the source code from NoLock then add the features you want to it
i'm using NoLock as well, it works perfect the way it is
i want to be able to read my stuff as soon as i wake up the phone
Well, no lock developer tells it's not possible to disable volume buttons. I wonder if this problem could be solved at all.
Does it not pushed on in your pocket? This is my only fear about this app.
nope, not at all, never had it turn on, on its own

Thanks, so I give it a try!

Vibration hardware buttons ?

But how can I turn off Vibrate hardware buttons ? Thank you.
I hate that the "hard buttons" vibrate. I'm not a child......I don't need things to make noise and vibrate as if my ADD is so bad I need to be constantly harangued to pay attention to the device that is already glued to my hand.
I turn off all sounds and noises, and I would love *love *LOVE* if someone would figure out how to make it stop vibrating, or to write a program to effectively end that function.
+1 on that! Really annoying
Wait, the HD7 doesn't have any hardware buttons that vibrate on use except the camera button.
Are you talking about the capacitive buttons? If you are, then there is currently no way to disable that. That's something HTC decided on, so you'll have to contact them and bug them for a fix.

In my opinion is really annoying too. I think I should have a choice.
Regards
no go on htc
iv spoken to htc and there not having anything else to do with the phone when it comes to the software they have said that anything now to do with the phone you will need to get on to mirosoft about as they have full control over it now hope this helps
This is really unfortunate. That vibration 'feature' is really annoying. It's more like a nuisance than a feature. I sure hope Microsoft gets the message and does something about it.
I agree with you all. Reminds me when Microsoft decided to give us the best camera feature ever invented: resetting the user-defined options each time lol

Dont you mean the hardkeys?!?!
"Softkey" implies software keys, And im sure you are referring to the hardware buttons? Hence "hardkey".
I too would like a way to keep them lit though, Sometimes I end up missing correct key in dark

Sorry. Yes I guess I did mean the "hard keys" - anyway its the search, return, home and menu keys.
As you are a senior member and have not yet found the answer then I guess there is not much chance of me getting it solved then eh?

tbh I've not actually got round to looking.
Anyone else then please to help with this problem?
Having the capacitative keys stay on would really help at night.
Having them stay off for reading would be even better. So irratating I put tape over them some nights.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Not an answer, but a data point showing this is possible...
The capacitive keys stay lit all the time (all being whenever the screen is on) on my VZW SGT. On my wifi only SGT, the capacitive keys shut off after a few seconds (have not timed it) and light back up if you touch the screen or one of the capacitive keys. I don't know if this is software and/or hardware related.
Pretty sure this is in the services.jar (ROM framework).
