Hi,
I have a strange problem among the applications named in the subject. I love the volume control which I found in Itjes blackstone application thread. As soon as I install the large title bar application, I can´t set the volume via the volume up/down buttons anymore but with my fingers on the screen. I´m usin the standard german rom with darans TF3D application. Do you have a solution for me? I saw roms where both aplications work in harmony.
I have the same problem. I think it's related with TF3D. it work's in every other panel but on TF3D the volume keys are used to navigate
Seems ok for me.
I found the bug, as soon as I install VAlert or Resco Contact Manager this happens.
I uninstalled VAlert and unckecked the option in Resco CM to usw my buttons et voila, no problems anymore.
I have the problem with the volume control that after i used it, every screen rotate sends me to the home screen and the application i'm currently running into the background, very annoying, it worked fine with the old ROM.

Hi all,
I use the BT A2DP profile to stream music through the media player and one of the 'features' that differs from the K-JAM (wizard) and is lacking in the TyTN is the ability to continue that stream even when the device is 'off' (useful for saving battery, switching off the buttons, etc.). With the TyTN whenever the device is turned off the stream also ceases. Does anybody know if there is someway of ensuring that the media player is not switched off along with the device (I'm guessing a registry setting or similar).
All help very welcome.
Cheers
I was wondering this also. My wizard was able to be "off" and still stream. ANyone got any brigjt ideas?
Later, Lew
Have you tried just turning the screen off? PocketPlus has a utility called "Screen Toggle," which does just that.
When used in conjunction with the Button Lock (leaving only the power button active), you just might be able to solve your issue...

Yeah...what he said!
That what I do.
I really miss this feature to.
So there is no way to do it on the Hermes?
Its not particulary elegent to have to perform multiple steps to turn the screen off. it was much eaiser just to hit the off button and listen away...
I'm using VjDeviceLock wich is what you want, I think.
After you've installed it you should create a new shortcut in c:/windows/startmenu/programs/vijay555/vjdevicelock. You can copy an exiting one in this directory and edit the parameter. What you want is "-displayoff". I bound this to my Videocall-Button, cause I don't use video telephony.
If I listen to music I just have to press my Videocall-Button and VjDeviceLock turns off my screen and locks all Buttons except the power on/off one.
Also VjDeviceLock is just great to save money
If you get a sms or a call the device turns on itself. I once didn't notice this and called a random person out of my adressbook, because I had my trion in my pocket and were moving all the evening and somehow started a call.
This cannot happen again, because I started vjdevicelock with parameter "-install". Now everytime my trion turns on itself it gets automatically (re)locked.
thats a fantastic solution and it works really well!
what program are you using to remap the buttons?
Hi,
Does anyone else suffers strange key problems when using VJdevicelock;
After using -displayoff or -displaytoggle and resume back to normal, phone buttons (call/disconnect,videotalk) doesnt work anymore, it need to be softreseted before the buttos work again?
-Kha
EDIT:
just found out that when resuming from -displayoff, after pressing windows and ok softkeys, dialbuttos work again!
I'd appreciate if somebody here could advice me on how to map VjDeviceLock to VideoCall button on my TyTN (I have original TyTN ROM and the VideoCall key is functional ). I couldn't remap it using Buttons configuration utility in Settings.
as I said you have to create a Shortcut in your Startmenu. Shortcuts in Startmenu are shown as available possibilities in Start - Settings - Buttons (Perhaps it's called a bit different. I'm using a german version where it's called 'Tasten')
This is how I remapped it. I don't use a special program.
I use the device lock on today plugins.

This does not turn off your screen AND your device is sometimes getting unlocked when you receive calls or sms.

Thank you very much for your instant response. I did all you mentioned in your message and I remapped the VideoCall button (is it the Button between Buttons 4 and 5 ? ) but pressing it still doesn't activate VJDevice. Any other suggestions?
Is the device locked when you click on the shortcut?
If not: edit an existing shortcut, let's say "VJDeviceLock About.lnk". Make it point to: \Programms\vjay555\VJDeviceLock\VJDeviceLock.exe" -displayoff
It is right that there is only one "
When I open my shortcut in a text editor the content is:
Code:
64#"\Programme\vijay555\VJDeviceLock\VJDeviceLock.exe" -displayoff"
Yes. The device locks when I click on the shortcut itself but when I press VideoCall button, to which I had previously mapped the link, the Dialpad pops up.

How can you do this? Are you using a third party app? I see no way to bind anything other than 5 buttons on my device...
I bound it to "Button 5".
My OK and WIN button launch nothing anymore.
I have a TyTN and the OK and WIN button on the front side and on the external keyboard are like inactive.
How can I restore their default behavior ? where is it located in the registry ?

HAve you installed AEButtonPlus by any chance?
Yes, I install AEbutton. Is that the reason ?
I am going to uninstall it to try if I will have my OK and WIN button back.
I installed AEbutton for the copy/paste possibility that you can assign to a button (very useful), I will miss that, but I miss my 2 buttons even more.
I uninstalled AEButton, and made soft reset.
The OK and WIN buttons are still not working :-(
I have just installed ButtonMapper instead of AEButton, I now have the OK button working again !!
But the WIN button is still not working.
Anyone knows how I could get my WIN button working again ?
My OK button is fine, but my WIN button works intermittently. Sometimes it takes three or four presses to register and bring down the Start menu. In contrast, the WIN/OK combined button under the scroll wheel always works without fail. Annoying!

TBH, I'd uninstall button mapper, then run something like SKTools to clear all errant shortcuts and and notification queue entries. Then see where you go from there. Failing that, I'd recommend a hard reset.
bydandie, good idea I will have a look at sktools.
Do you know how does button handling work under the hood ?
what process is launched when I press a button ?
Good question....
I'm thinking a way to change my hard button links without installing a 3rd party software.
Is it possible modifying Registry?
Any other idea?

No, but I do know that in the past when I tried AEButtonplus, I got the same issues as you, but with an uninstall it cured it. It may be worth reinstalling AEButtonplus and then ensure within the app the the Win and OK buttons have nothing assigned to them.
I'm not sure what it calls, ,the codes look different from what is used by things such as the Soft-Key mapper

Normally the hard buttons can be found under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys
There you will find a series of subkeys beginning with 40C
Each subkey correspond to a hard button. For instance on my ppc 40C1 is the calendar hard button. So try to find the subkeys related to Ok and Win buttons and change the default value by the path of the app you want to launch. By default, the hard buttons applications links can be found under
/Windows/AppButtons
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: I don't have an OK and WIN buttons on my ppc, so maybe its different for these two...
Thanks for the information dotFred, I have had a look on the registry and in the windows folder.
You are right the linking between the application and the hard button is made here, but only for the configurable buttons that you can configure in WM5 settings/button. Unfortunately the TyTN's OK and WIN button on the front and on the side of the PocketPC are not included :-(
I'd also like a way to configure the function of the start button, and the side OK/start button. I have installed Smallmenu and would like those buttons to open it instead of opening the standard start menu.
Any ideas?
I noticed on my 8525 that when i put some programs onto my memory card it deactivated these two buttons as well. You might try uninstalling some recent programs. (the program that caused problems with me was an expired trial version of WA2 that i moved onto my card.)
Only thing I have not been able to recover since the SP1 update
The two custom buttons for opening the Snapview control application and the Screen resolution switcher are dead.
I've gone through the HTC folder and can't find anything to reactivate these buttons or assign them to the correct apps.
Anyone else notice this?

No, It's working here
No problems with mine either. sorry.
Execute \program files\htc\control\setup.exe . It will remap the buttons....
hmmm. strange. Ran it several times (once right after the update, once just now) and still no effect.
Buttons are still dead. Maybe something else is conflicting with it.
Pretty vanilla setup. Nothing added after the SP1 update (done using Windows Update).
Office 2007 installed. Bitdefender AV.
Only slightly off thing I am running is Firefox 3b4
Buttons assignment
Remaping of buttons is not by Snapview!
Buttons are working as Synaptics touchpad directional buttons.
Run Synaptics control panel and there is remaping of buttons.
Go:
MOUSE properties-SETTINGS-BUTTONS-SCROLL UP BUTTON-CONFIGURE.
For "Start ControlCenter" Define
SCROLL LEFT BUTTON as START SELECTED APPLICATION - Program Files\HTC\ControlCenterLauncher.exe
For "Change resolution button" Define
SCROLL UP BUTTON as START SELECTED APPLICATION - Program Files\HTC\ResolutionSwitchLauncher.exe
It is not detailed tip - You must help myself a bit.
I did it on my Shift and is it fully working.
Awesome! That seems to have done it. Thanks!
As an added bonus, I now can configure the buttons to be anything I want. Very cool.
Directions
I am not sure in directions,
may be is it RIGHT and DOWN directions.
You must try it.
Hi,
I have the problem that I can't change the volume of the speaker during a call. I have installed the most recent version of s2u2, AEButtuns (but without changing the volume buttons) and tf3d disabled. In s2u2 the "Volume control" is enabled. Volume control works when not in a call for the phone and the system volume, but not during a call, so i can't make the other party more or less loud. When i press the volume button in a call, the volume screen briefly pops up, but the value doesn't change, pressing the volume button again makes the control screen disappear (similar behaviour like the system volume control when volume control in s2u2 is disabled)... has anybody similar experiences and maybe a solution?
regards jan
Have You Installed Any Program Like Touch Response Or Vibration Feedback?
I Had Same Problem
After Unistall It All Ok!!
no, i haven't...
however, i have installed spb phone suite, pocket plus and mobile shell... but i can't remember when the problem occured the first time... in between i also tried phone weaver and phone alarm, but i have uninstalled both...
any more ideas?
regards jan
I think, its S2U2:
You have to set "Don´t use the keyboard hook" at the S2U2-Settings to "ON" and the S2U2-Volume-Control to "OFF" -then all works perfect!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445712
For me, it works
thank you, but for me that doesn't work correctly: With these settings i can control the system and ring volume during a call properly, but i can't change the actual 'in-call-volume' (which means the volume how loud i can hear the other party talk)... can anyone check this?
regards jan
The new v1.37 of S2U2 fix this problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
Hi folks,
found another possible reason (but unfortunaly no solution yet) for in-call volume control not working... as this thread mainly focuses on s2u2, i've opened a new one here
regards jan
its nothing to do with s2u2. the in call volume is part of the hd dialer and when using the wm6 dialer, this feature is disabled. This is the same for pocket guard when not using the hd dialer. There is a cab somewhere that will diable the hd volume and revert to wm6 volume control. when i installed this the volume could be changed in call but messed up the font on all keyboards.
Hi...
installed skyfire on stock 6.5 rom, just to access tvcatchup.com, when I use the volume rocker, skyfire minimises (doesn't crash, still running in background) and you have to go task manager to reopen it... any clues?
Pauly
I don't know why. Why not try my volume control registry mod which brings up the small volume strip on the left of the screen. It's easier to use and gives finer control using the volume keys. And it might not minimise skyfire!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577462
PS: I've just remembered that when I tried 6.5 it had a different volume control to 6.1. The registry mod is for the HTC style control if your rom uses it.
