Any ideas on how to get the light button working on a jas-jar. Mine has not been working since the start and I've tried everything. The button Im talking about is the first from the right close to the infrared port on the outside of the device. It is supposed to turn on the flashlight but when I press it nothing happens and it doesnt even show up in the buttons applet in WM5.
Actually that button doesn't turn on the flashlight, though some here have tried to come up with a hack so that it would. I don't know if they were ever successful with that.
That button turns on the screen backlight when it has timed out but your device is still turned on. It's not the most useful button, which is why folks were trying to come up with a hack to make it more useful, for instance to turn on the flashlight like you wanted to.
Maybe if someone has had success, they will chime in here.
Change the button
Attached is a cab file allowing you to make use out of the light button to anything else :lol:
When yuo say anything else, does that include controlling the flashlight? Either way, thanks for the file.
Would be nice if one could assign it to turn on the keyboard backlight.
There is no option to adjust the sensitivite of the light sensor for the keyboard, and i think that it kicks in way to late.
Find my self holding the finger over the sensor and hitting a button to make it light up.
Any one aware og a possible Reg Hack to make this option appear in the Assing Button list?

Nope i know that :wink: thats why i'm asking if anybody knows of a hack or the whereabouts of such an exe file..... Any ideas??
why dont u just change the option in the settings\buttons\backlight and take the tick off the box, and it works like a charm. everytime u press a key it lights up, sorted, and it doesnt affect the battery at all really
@Elmo
Well i didn't use that choise because i don't have any car charger yet. (Waiting for the Brodit kit)
I want to preserve as much battery as possible.........as you already know, this baby can eat your battery pretty fast............

Is this the same as changing it manually on the registry?
Yes, it's my CAB file I posted a little while back that adds a registry entry so that you see it listed as "Button 5" in the Buttons setting applet.

Isn'it available for the Wizard too ? ...
I wrote a very simple script that turn on the camera and press the flash button.
I use the flash key and ms voice command to start it
you need to have MortScript installed. (include with this package)
A very simple question from a new owner -- where are the buttons defined that are assigned in Settings - Buttons? I don't see them labeled as "Button 1", etc in the User Manual.

On your HTC Universal, go to:
Start>Settings>Buttons
From there you can change the assignments of the buttons.
Ok. I have found the 2 keyboard keys that are buttons 1 and 2, and the 2 external buttons that are buttons 3 and 4.
I must say that button 1 is not very useful for voice command, when the device is closed. I guess I could assign it to button 4 or button 5 with the registry hack.
On the supplied "headset", there is a microphone with a button on it.
- What does that button do?
- Is it possible to use it for Voice Command?
(I guess for that to happen, it first needs to be recognised as an assignable button in WM5).
The backlight button cab file is working. Now I can reassign that useless button becomes the OK button. Very useful when use it in the tablet mode. But I need two more buttons to use for the softkey. I have use the record button for the left softkey and have no more button for the right softkey. Any suggestion?
One more thing, the script for enabling the flash light does not work. It turns on the camera, but the flash light remains off.
Hello,
Just got my TyTn and got a question.
If i got a long email (about 34k just plane text) this is a lot of text.
With my tytn and the jogwheel it is possible to scroll down a page (or scroll up a page of course)
I was wondering, is there a way to make this shorter, so that the jogwheel doesnt schroll a complete page, but a half a page or maybe just 3 lines.
When i read a complete page the backight of my tytn turns dark.
Reminder: i do not want to change the settings in backlight! this is exactly the way i want it, but when i scroll more often the backlight stay on.
Please help
I hope it is possible.
Paul
Anyone have any solution to this?
It's bothering me too.

Been playing around with my new TyTn also. I'm about to install all the software I had on my Wizard, when I was using my Wizard, Tweaks2k2 had an option for smooth scrolling, I'll see if it will change anything.

Make sure you turn off the volume adjustments that are assigned by default to Button #4075. After doing this my buttons function normally allowing me to call the start menu from the side button and the volume calls are eliminated.

I use the latest AEBPlus. If you use the add button function you can add the OK buttons and retain the start menu actuation via the side OK button while making those buttons actually close applications.

Hmmm, strange. i can't seem to find that option under options. We are talking about options in AEBplus right? Only thing that says volume on it is "restore volume slider". Is this the one I should uncheck all items?
Thanks for helping out dude.

That's the correct name. I was coming from my memory. There are three options in there make sure none are checked.
Thanks for helping out aadadams. Still having problems though. After a while the windows button won't open start menu and neither will ok button on the side of Tytn. Too bad, I really liked the function to be able to really close programs with hardware ok button.
Not entirely related but similar, I was wondering whether it is possible to get the scroll wheel to scroll quickly through the contacts list using the 'big letter' lookup? I know of a couple of people who say the phone has randomly done this for them but they can't figure out how.

I do not have a problem with the side button. When pressed while on the today screen it launches the start menu. How are your buttons mapped? Have you assigned multiple functions to these buttons that fail over time?

Nope, only thing I've done is add button and pressed ok hardware button. Then I mapped it to close active program or whatever the term is.
It shows up as button 4075 I think.
Wierd, I did basically the same thing with that button but I remapped several others to extend their fuunctionality. I have never had that happed. My next question is what other apps are you running especially immature apps that may cause the conflict.
Hmm, not running that much else. Wisbar advance and pocketbreeze. That's about it.
I do not use Wisbar apps and sine it does make changes to native start and ok functions it could be the problem. Run without it for day or so and see what happens.
With only wisbar and no aeb+ everything has been ok, will uninstall wisbar and try only aeb instead.
Hi All,
Is there any small application, which can simulate I press the power button?
Because the power button is hard to press, I wish to add a shortcut to this application, and tap the screen instead.
I found some which is to turn off the screen only, but I want to put the machine in suspend mode just like press the power button.
Thanks.

Thats not true, you are pressing the button in the wrong way .
Read this.
If you really want a application that can suspend your device look for psShutXp or iLauncher. I think there are really many applications able to do that.
sure there are tons of applications for pocketpc which when started turn off the pda
http://www.google.dk/search?source=...off+program&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr=&aq=f
used a few of them myself works just fine
Haa......I also read this post before, I knew how to press the power button correctly......
To be more precise, I don't want to press the power button frequently in order to protect it from damage.

Hi,
How do you change the soft key to this exe.
And can this exe be used to wake up the device by tapping on the screen.
Thanks
You can modify it by changing registry
\HKLM\Software\HTM\Manila\HomeLSK* and HomeRSK* values.
I think a hardware trigger is needed if you want to wake up the device.
To wake up by tapping on the screen, the device cannot be in suspend mode then, just the screen is off.

you're welcome
First I would like to state that none of the graphics in this cab file are my work. I don't know who made them but it wasn't me. Also, I am not the developer of psShutXP.
What I did was fix psShutXP so that it replaces the Long-Press Power Key. Instead of having a lame, white "Do you want to shut down" window that pops up when you hold the power button, you will have a nicely skinned psShutXP window that gives you the options to turn off the display, power off the device, reboot the device, hard reset the device, and even gives you the options to set reboot schedules.
Note that ALL functions are working in this cab that I put together including Shut Down.
Screenshot:
is the application running in the background or is it triggered upon long press of the end key?

It's triggered when you hold the power key for about 3 seconds. It does not run in the background and is not set to the end key.
i meant the power button my bad
installing right now

If you guys overwrite PowerOffWarning.exe, you'll no longer can turn your phone off completely (Exp when you wanna turn device off at night )
dharvey4651 works nice.
Thanx
Nice app. man , thanks!
I want to know, I always see apps that schedule reboots for the diamond, why is it so hard to schedule a simple shutdown? Or isn't it so simple? I mean, ok with the reboot but who needs it anyway? I don't....but I realy need the power off, isn't there something that can be done?
i tried uninstalling the application but it doesnt revert to the original..how can this be solved?

Adv Config
Adv config allows you to map the long press power button to whatever you want. I just used that to do exactly this and a few other indispensable tweaks.

Can u please share where one would do this tweak in Advan. Config. 3.3? I will continue looking.
Harvey, you're quite the h4x0r!
I've been following your work in the XBmod Manila HD thread and have been hoping for a working version of this program for a long time!
Quick question, does clicking the gear in the top right allow for a hard reset using the clear storage method? (or does it open the clear storage settings menu?)
This hard reset option really messed things up on the old version of this software, to the point where I needed to flash a new rom.
FYI, I'm using a CDMA Telus diamond in Canada, eh.
I can confirm that soft reset, shut down, and screen off all work on a CDMA diamond, 20764 sys (from the leaked new sprint rom). The scheduling function also works great. I still wasn't brave enough to try the hard reset function though.
thanx for tweaking this app, it has now saved me a space in my start menu.
dharvey- thanks.
does anyone know where the setting is for the amount of time we need to hold the power key down before the psshutxp opens? i'd like to make mine come up faster.

Good idea (i prefer the end key long press for this) but for an inexplicable reason it's not working on my Diamond and Advanced Config 3.3. It seems to take the setting but when i press the end key it "choose" the action which is defined by Start - Settings - End key Long Press.

Your welcome. I don't know if there is a setting to change that. It's the standard long-press-power-key function with a nicer, more functional interface.

It does PsShutXP has 3 functions:
- Display Off : Turn off your screen backlight (keep programs running)
- Power Off : The same when you press your Power button (differrent from when you do long-press Power button and chose YES)
- Soft Reset : Reset the device
About hard reset: don't worry, it just does a soft reset!
Simple Example: When you wanna change your SIM, usually you turn your device off completely, then remove battery, change the SIM. Now, you can't turn it off completely.
Btw, this is a good soft, but i don't think replace the PowerOfWarning.exe is a good choice!
If you guys don't care about the true "Power Off", forget my post and enjoy
i uninstalled it and soft reset however its still worki
ng.the only difference is that it does not appear in the uninstall list..
i love its looks but i somewhat disliked some behavior at the moment..
i found that after running it once it and after clickin on cancel it will run in the background (not such an issue as you are more likely to reset than power off the screen )
the problem in my case was that it somehow crashed this one time and a long press on the power button would not trigger it anymore..so i had to remove the battery to reboot.. it does work now again but i dont know what caused it..
wow.. thanks this is great stuff
however, anyway of making it into an actual APP, like the original psshutxp which is only triggered if u run the prog?
i dont really want it to be mapped to my power button...
Remove Auto-Algin Shortcut
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi
Was wondering do any of you wonderful people know how to turn of the shortcut for the auto algin screen. I have a HTC Touch diamond and everytime you Push the Volume key and action key at the same time it launches the algin screen Very frustraing in GBA how can i disable this...?
I think you mean allign? Don't know how to turn it off though, my solution was to change the buttons so the combination is never used. I think the combination was volume up and OK
Thanks Paul...
I have tried that, but there are not enough buttons on htc Diamond... the only keys i can map are the Centre key the 2 volume keys and the back button. the rest dont work..... but thanks any way
