Hello, Please can you help.
I've been following various threads to remove the O2 active application, and successful - my Internet Explorer does now go to MY home page instead of 02's!
Unfortunately I've lost button control, buttons 3 & 4 no longer appear in my assign list and button 5 no longer carries a number.
Does anyone know where I can fix this in the Windows coding?
Thanks Paul
I don't know whether this will help or not, but I had a similar problem with the buttons on my Orange M2000 (specifically the camera button).
I eventually found that there was a program in the startup folder which seemed to be re-assigning the camera app to the camera button with each reset. Moving this program out of startup solved that problem.
OK, I've found a folder in Windows called AppButtons, when I remove the shortcuts inside, then some of the app buttons stop working (error no shortcut) but replacing the shortcuts does not refresh the list to produce 9 different buttons.
Thanks Paul

Hi everyone,
I am trying to develop an application to run on this device and am having a few issues. I have no idea if it is actually possible to do these things or not so any help would be appreciated.
1 - disable the power button so the device cannot be turned off by the user
2 - re-program the hang up button so this goes to the app rather than the today screen
3 - program the IE button so this runs the app when pressed in tomtom rather than IE (i can get this to work anywhere else using the buttons icon in the settings menu but it persists in running IE when used when tomtom is in teh foreground)
Many thanks.

The problem is, in this forum and in ppcgeeks, there is no clear cut answer. Truthfully, I dot really want to assign buttons, however, there are other options that are available for personalizing. Following this paragraph is my situation:
Phone: Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2
ROM: Stock - Windows 6.1 & Manila 2.1
I have a few apps, but none that should have messed with these settings (MS My Phone, Resco File Explorer (has the ability, but I didn't change it through it), Resco Radio, Resco Picture Viewer Pro, a few games, Office Mobile 10 beta, etc... The rest are all stock, coming with the phone)
When I go into the button config here is the settings:
Send Key(Hold) - Voice Command
Button - <Context Menu>
Button - <Today>
Button - <Context Menu>
Button - <Context Menu>
Button - <Context Menu>
When I try to goto any other tab in the setting program, it tells me "Each program button must have a unique button assignment" and then goes back to the button assignment tab. When I try to exit, goto the today screen, or open any other program it does the same.
There are three possible ways of dealing with this:
1. Deleting these other button assignments - The problem here is I don't know what buttons these refer to and if deleted could pose problems.
2. Changing the names - Not really changing the names, I guess to me, it seems that the system is assigning five separate possible tasks to "Button." Again, not knowing what these buttons refer to, if changed, I could have to press volume up to hang up a call and press the power button to send a call.
3. Hard reset - I thought about this, but there are a few places where there have been cases of people trying this and it didn't do anything. I guess I would rather try alternatives before going through this drastic a measure.
If anyone has ideas on how to do any of these (save the hard reset, as I know that), I would be very much appreciative. Also, if any one has any other suggestions, besides those above, I would be more than happy to try them.
Thanks.
Edit:
Thought it prudent to add, most of these apps (save of course Office 10 beta) that I now have, I have had through three phones (Mogul, Touch Pro, touch pro 2). The first two never had any problems with these apps and as they are all HTC phones, I don't see why it would cause these kinds of problems in this phone and neither of it's predecessors.
Sorry.. haven't heard a reply, so Bump it up.
such an story,, such an answer..
the best way to assign app/programs to buttons is with this program!!

I was just about to post that link!
OP, whatever it is you're using to remap keys, drop it and use the linked keyboard controller. It's ridiculously good.
Hello folks,
I would like to see how I can get the Back hardware button (the button between the END key and HOME key on the front of the phone) to work in all programs.
I find the back button works properly in some applications by going back in the application one step (such as MS Word Mobile), while it does not work properly in other programs like File Explorer (included with the operating system).
Can anyone think of a fix?
Hi, I didn't try it on the back button but surely this app will work :

The reason why some apps have it working properly (such as IE) is because of entries in this key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ChangeBackVKeyCode\
For example, HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ChangeBackVKeyCode\IExplore=8 means setting the "back" key to "backspace" (8 is the keycode for BS), thus allowing you to go back 1 page instead of the default "back" behaviour (which goes to the previous application opened).
My send key is sticking.
1) How do I disable the send key
2) how can I start the phone application with a shortcut ( I would need it if I can disable the send key)
3) how do I change my text message that I can send for an incoming phone call. I've changed it before, but cannot remember how.
1) Why on earth would you want to do that?
2) Your start menu should already have a short-cut somewhere in it with the phone application, just find it and use it.
3) Start Menu/ Settings/ Personal/Phone/Advanced (this is on a WWE rom).
Ok, found #4.
Also, lookined in the windows directory and found vtkey.exe (phone application) and redial.exe (redial). Does anyone see a problem with renameing them so hopefully my send key will not be able to use them?
There is a System -> Button application. Guess I could map the end key hold to the vtkey_rename.exe?
OK, how do I rename system files?
Because my hardware send key is sticking and it constantly opens the phone application and redails the last person I spoke to. My friends are getting quite annoyed and I do not want to spend a week of my life reloading a new phone with my software.
Do you have a better solution?
I do not have a phone dialer application on my start menu. I had to find vtkey.exe in the windows folder.

Maybe you can remap the hardware key to nothing? The remap program is in the themes and apps section.

I turned off all the Sense/FLO stuff that I could find. Mostly I have just stock WM 6.1. I do not see themes. I do have Settings-> Personal -> Buttons. But I cannot figure out how to add the Send Key. I have the following. My phone has 4 buttons and not really sure how to use the Buttons screen.
Send Key (Hold) <None>
Button <Today>
Button <Context Menu>
Just tryed to remap the key using Rhodium Keyboard control. Worked flawlessly
Where is the keyboard control?
I have T-Mobile HTC TP2, WM 6.1.
Take a copy of a link file .lnk of any application you have on your phone and rename it to short_send.lnk and put in \windows. Same trick works with long_send.lnk, short/long for end and power buttons. By doing this i created button shortcuts to apps i want. Super convenient.
Hey people, I've searched around and have not been able to find a solution for a while now so I thought i'd ask the question here.
The Touch Pro 2 has 3 softkeys: 2 on home screen and 1 in the start menu that says (Lock)
The two first softeys are quit easy to manage with different apps or directly from the registry. The third, however, is dedicated to the lock screen (phone) function and I have not found a way to reassign what this button does.
I would like to reassign this button to S2U2 instead using the WM6.5 original lock function.
I've enabled the appropriate options on S2U2 to over ride this button, but whenever my RAM usage reaches critical and Apps autoclose, it seems to break the function of this button and only a restart will solve it. I've even tried adding iLock2 into the task manager exception list but nothing seems to work, which is why i'd just like to assign the lock button to S2U2 permanently.
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this ?
