Hi
Sorry if it was discused before but I didnt find anything.
How can I configure the device to wakeup ONLY if the power button is pressed?. I cant find the option in this device...
Thanks
Hi Daniel, nice to see you migrating to HD2. Here's a discussion about this problem, for some reason it's in the Programs section. AFAIK there's no solution, and there's certainly some work to do in making this device behave reasonably with the hardware keys. HTC seem to have done some very quirky things in the key driver department. With regard to this specific issue I'm afraid they enabled wakeup on any key because there's no power key really... The End key hooks will not work in Standby mode, so my hypothesis is that in order to turn on the device they didn't bother to write a proper driver, but simply force this wake-on-any-key Windows feature.
Well,its a pitty. We will ve to do something about it...

Somehow I managed to install MS Voice Command and is working OK.
But, one thing I cannot manage to solve, is using the voice dial button while the cover is closed. It doesn't do anything. It has to be open or the screen facing upwards.
Is there a solution or perhaps not?
Let's say you dialed. How would you talk to the person?
I am having the same problem.. it locks the buttons when lid is closed and there seems to be no way to unlock them... and, you can talk with the lid closed, for the guy who asked.
settings, buttons, lock. you can choose not lock the buttons when the device is closed
I am also suffering te same problem with voice command.
richard
they are all unlock, but still, voice command doesn't activate-
There has to be a way to trick the registry... but I'm no expert at all.
It's on my list of things to look at tonight.
I'll get to it when I've finished my real VGA hack.
Great! We'll be all awaiting your news.
as far as i know then the cpu is not active and normal programs are not running when ones device is turned off
so even if you unlock the buttons voice commander would not respond unless pressing the button wakes up the pda
Pressing the button does wake the device though. This is the bizarre thing.
If the device is off in tablet mode, it works fine.
If the device is off in closed mode, it doesn't work.
Pressing the button in closed mode produced the bing-bong sound indicating the VC is ready to accept commands but nothing happens therafter.
Was there ever a solutio found to this problem??? :shock:
Afraid not.
I'd love to find a solution to this too. I am convinced it is possible, because incoming calls do activate Voice Command with the XDA closed (it tells me who is calling), and the external buttons do wake the XDA when it is open.
But even though I have "do not lock buttons" selected, none of the external buttons do anything when the unit is closed.
I'd be very, very grateful if anyone could come up with a solution to this.
If you switch off in toggle mode then the device will respond after pressing the VC button. But if you have set pda up to close after a certain amount of inactivity, it will stop responding after that period of time expires.
So the solution is concealed under the way you switch off the device. I think if we found a way to switch off in toggle mode instead of suspending when pressing the on/off button, the we would found the solution. However, battery issues may come up...
Is there a way to disable the answer/hangup buttons when the screen is turned off during a call? i keep accidentally hanging up on people
lol...okay
if you install a program called MortSaver it can turn off the screen and lock all buttons, except the button which de-activates it. you can activate mortscript by either assigning it to a hardware button or by simply launching the programs. if you wanna use it for your phone calls, i think you'd be more comfortable by assigning it to a hardware button. to me, i wouldn't give up one hardware button to mortsaver.
hopefully this will solve my automatic answer when taking the phone out of the holster to check whose calling...
thanks
thanks for the tip. ive read about this app in several threads, never thought to use it for this purpose.
thanks again
Hello,
Since I have my brand new HTC Touch HD, I do have some problems to power it on. I find the power on button not that well placed and very difficult to hit.
Powering off the PDA is rather simple without using that button, for instance like the GSEN power off option.
But I'm wondering whether a similar functionality based onto the G-sensor could also be implemented for powering on/wake-up the device ?
Any idea ?
I tried to write such an App on Diamond... but it was consuming too much battery....
There is such a thing. If I understand it correctly, it's called VueFlow or ViewFlo. Something like that. I got it off XDA, but can't seem to get it to work correctly on my HD. Gyrator2 works similar, but wont wake the phone up. Also, look for Shake2Wake. Hope this helps.
Any progress on this one - did you find the tool?

"for powering on/wake-up the device ? " simply get out the stylus...
Mobile magic has some settings to suit. I have mine to go off face down and come back when vertical. It can also be set for stick out and in.

I'll try it, thank you
It first started with the blue light blinking, even with the phone turned off. The only way to stop it from blinking was to remove the battery for about 10 seconds.
Then, everything I typed staarted to ddoublle letteers raandomlyy.
Now, it's acting like the down button is stuck. I can't do anything on the phone because its always scrolling down, beating out any other input.
I can live with the first two, but the third one has made the phone completely unusable. It's never been around water, never dropped, just randomly doing this crap. Any ideas on how to fix it? Hard reset does not work, new rom does not work, its a hardware issue.
Yes it is probably a hardware issue. Time for a phone swap
I'm actually out of warranty, so the only thing I can do it either switch to a different phone or try fixing this one. Have nothing to lose by opening it up, just wanted to see if anyone else has fixed it by cutting any wires or connections on the inside of the phone.
You don't have insurance

No phone insurance. Verizon completely screwed me on that phone purchase in more ways than one. By the time I figured that out it was to late.
TO bad I got mine added late. I just called the lady I bought the phone from and she added it.
Not sure about the blue-light.
I was able to fix my repeating-letters using the keyboard fix in this post:
For the constant-down input - it could either be the touchscreen digitizer or the hardware keyboard. YouTube has a series of videos on dismantling the Mogul - it may be worth some "exploratory surgery" to see what might be causing the problem (cookie crumbs, perhaps)...
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Htc mogul hardware button - issue
Dear XDA GURUS,
I am facing this very weird problem on my HTC MOGUL. All my Hardware button have stopped responding / Working. Please help me sort out this issue.
Waiting for your valued reply with solution.
Detail given on below link.
My HTC MOGUL HARDWARE Button Issue
Dear XDA GURUS,
yesterday i tried to do some RnD for this same problem. now the inputs. (Nothing technical)
* Even though my camera hardware button is not working, but, i can still enter the bootloader screen.
* Even though my both soft reset hardware button are not working, but, still i can do the hard reset.
This only means that, my buttons are working fine, but, according to my logic, they have lost there assignment.
After that i started searching web, if i can find a App / setting / hack / register setting, in which i can assign then there original key setting. So i found this on XDA forum as below.
Code:
[B]How to assign a shortcut to EndKey, SendKey, Power Button, PTT Button!![/B]
Hello
Since some of you guys asked about this , well there you go:
if you look inside the keyboard driver with a good disassembler (IDA Pro) you would see that you can create these link files :
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnk (Power button)
So basically all you need is to create these link files and put them in to windows folder. You can assign these keys to any shortcut you want .

ok now, certain things are clear. now anybody out there can help get this thing sorted out.
Waiting for concrete solution.
Well i just got an HD2 (love it btw) im successfully running Hyperdroid no problems what so ever . However i have a bug i need fixed , when the device goes into standby , ALL HARDWARE BUTTONS REWAKE THE SCREEN (excluding volume) is there a way to LOCK ALL HARDWARE BUTTONS EXCEPT for the volume up ? For instance , i reply to a text , press "end key" to suspend device , device is in standby and all buttons (green phone, home, menu, back, red end key) are DISABLED and the only way to wake the device up is by pressing the Volume Up key . I like this idea because there is no designated power button , and when the device is in my pocket , the buttons get pressed and it SERIOUSLY drains the power (i noticed in my logcat this was happening) and since the volume buttons are on the side they are less likely to be pressed . However, once volume button is pressed to wake the device i want the volume buttons to go back to normal . I hope this is possible .
Well, it's not exactly what you wanted.
But you could use Tasker and tell it to turn the screen off again if it's upside-down (in your pocket) and/or if something is in front of the proximity sensor(in your pocket/bag/purse). you could also specify it so that these events won't lock your phone again when it's awake for over 3 seconds or so
I could help you with this if you don't understand how to set it up.
This would partially solve your problem, but there is a small delay between recognizing the events and the action taken so it would stay on for about a second and then shut it off again.
Tell me what you think about it.

I found a similar program . Forget what it was , i mean i guess that could work but its still not gonna keep the screen from coming on when the buttons get pressed . Which , with having front facing buttons , will happen a lot . I'll try the program and check my logcats for device wake. Also , how hard is it to develop in android ? ive written many C# programs for my computer and a couple simple ones ror Windows Mobile . Would i pick up android programing easily ?
Bump ? Really would like some INFO
Yet , ANOTHER bum smh -.- anybody ???
I have no idea to your actual question, but I would like to know the answer as well!
Hi there,
As far as I know programming is 10% grammatical and 90% knowledge of the vocabulary
If you know how to program, you should. Pick. It up easily.
You could follow some tutorials. On. YouTube to get yourself started, although. Most of them. Are really basic.
Start by googling for android sdk. And eclipse you'll need those programs to. Start programming

Hey thanks I've gotten started but the thing I wanna do in my original post is too deep for a simple program to do . Its deep in the kernel .
