Blank Button on Phone Dialer - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I am wondering if blank button on the phone dialer of my Magician can be remapped to something like the loudspeaker (instead of 'Hold' which appears after a call connects) so that when i make a call I can switch directly to loudspeaker at the touch of a button?
Thanks
Rob

Rob,
I think it's generally thought that enabling the loudspeaker is a hardware limitation, not software. I'm not sure if it is, my VJPhoneShortcuts will do it on WM5, and I just got bored and never tried to find out how to do it on the Magician. However, for remapping the blank button, Mamaich has made a contacts dialler or something similar that can be mapped onto that button. It's an amazing program. If you can't find it on the board, shout out.

tnx 4 the feedback, yeah it's a good idea to use the button for speed dialling (if the speakerphone is not an option) and i found the link for that MaMaich thingy but it's dead http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/cproghook.rar Couldn't find it anywhere else. if u have any hints plz tell

How to send an SMS without using stylus?

Hi,
I have just received my Qtek 9090 and I am very happy with it so far.
One thing I could not figure out yet is how to send an SMS with the keyboard without using the stylus? When I'm editing the SMS, I should be able to just press one key to send it and I can't find it.
Thanks for your help.
keyboard send message solution
Hi,
you can press "Lock/FN" key (lower left key) and then "Menu" (lower right key) and a menu appears. The you can use the navigational "joystik" to select "SEND" and the middle button on the joystick to select the option....
and there she goes......
okay, yes. On my system t seems that I can simply press "Menu" and then "Return". That's fine by me. Thanks.
Now another one Do you know a way to very quickly get in the SMS "Compose" window - without touching the screen?
Thanks,
François
Use the second softbutton above the call button to get into the messaging application. Press the navigation button to the side until you see Text Messages above the New menu. Hit the menu button on the keyboard. Use the navigation button and press "new"

Is there a program that lets you send ringtones and file attachments via sms like on the Nokia communicator series?
never heard about anybody being able to attach anything to sms's
are you sure that the nokia dont just sendt it as pop3 over grps ?
the communicators don't have gprs. I used to have 100's of ringtones on my 9210 and sms them to friends' nokia phones.
@t0flus : Great, thanks. I was mssing the side nav button thing !!!
So far, I'm very hapy with this device even if coming from HP 4150 I find it a bit heavy but I don't carry a phone anymore so, all in one, it is okay.
I guess the ultimate thing would be an SDA with Wifi
Other question : anyone of you leaving bluetooth always on ? Whith what impact on power consumption? I could not try yet because I did have the opportunity to try while staying close from power source during the day to cope with possible low on the batteries side...
Thanks.
Also, this we, I'll purchase a TomTom Nav 3 BT unit. I'll report here how the things go with the BT headset and GPS together.

Start bar on keyboard

hi guys , i know this might seem a strange question but like most my stylus is loose in the holder and i sometimes need to use the keyboard to do most things on the unit and i cant find anywhere that activates the start option on the screen. I have done it by accident once but nothing since. i have checked the manual and it mentions it no where all operations seem to be around the stylus?
does anyone know what key combination it is ?
I have a 02 phone and unlike tmobile which has a one of the 4 buttons on front setup to do this as one of the defaults.
cheers in advance
It should be ctrl+escape on a full keyboard. It might also be enabled by the windows or context menu keys, not sure what your keyboard looks like.
You can use my VJKeypress to get this as well. I think it's keycode 91, not sure, check my website.

Im talking about the blue angel, xda 2s keyboard thanks you for reply im not talking normal pc keyboard it does not have ctrl esc or alt on 02 xda 2s keyboard
Sorry! I've never seen a BlueAngel keyboard

Why not assign one of the hardware buttons to do this, each one can have a duel function assigned either a tap or hold, according to the phone, in reality this doesn't work (unless anyone knows different - latest O2 ROM - not messed around with), whatever you set for a tap is also carried accross to the hold function, go to settings and locate the power buttons icon select it, then select the button you want (ok for example) then assign the <Start Menu> from the drop down box, press OK, the device might want a soft reset (mine did when I just tried this), when it comes back up hit the assigned button, and use the four way thumb control to navigate through the menus, it saves sliding out the keyboard and it becoming loose - Mike
cheers for this when i tried to reassign buttons before like the camera it wouldnt let me change them ..i hate the camera button getting accidently caught same as the record one as well.
cheers for the advance will do that would just like to know for my own peace of mind as well how to use the keyboard to do it, it should be possible.

Help! Need to Reassign/Disable Hardware key..

Help! Need to Reassign/Disable Hardware key..
My ‘End Call' Key (the red one) has gone crazy, sticky crazy.. Although it doesn’t seem depressed it keeps pressing down causing my apps to close and my phone calls to get cancelled!!
I’m sure repairs will probably be costly.. Is their a way to Hack/Disable the ‘End Call' Key or just re-assign it to do nothing ? so that my phone can come back to life
Much appreciated..
Try AE Button Plus.
V
Thanks that does the trick, takes a bit to kick in as it runs at startup but seems to work after that..
Ill be using that for now, but am still on the lookout for a proper OS hack as not to take up any system resources.. cos although AEBPlus is handling the button, its still firing off continously in the background..
thanks

[REQ] Possible to remap mute button on back?

anyone know of a way to change the function of the mute button on the back of the phone? I don't think I'll hardly ever use that function, and it'd be great to give it another purpose.
Appreciate any help...
it would be great to be able to use it as the camera button.
i know it's close to the lens, be careful.
m to record button
that would be great if we can remap to record but i used aebutton plus and it cant detect it, any other software recomendations other than Vito and AEbutton mapper?
Any new info on this? I'd love to use the mute button for something else, even if it meant the face-down mute feature wouldn't work anymore. I renamed a program's .lnk file to "Short_mute.lnk" and dropped in \Windows but it didn't work like it does for some buttons.
It is possible and it works like a charm for me.
I ran across a keyboard remapper by Tarkim linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
Just make sure you choose the correct version (GSM or CDMA.)
I have used it on all of my keys, including the mute button on the back and so far it has been working great!
I agree with glw35 - I'm using this program for emulating Czech keyboard layout (CShack version - e.g. FN+S = š) on HW keyboard and it's working like a charm! And I remapped back "Mute" button to "Close active window"...

Id like to map the mute button to the camera
Anyone know how to do that wit this lil app?
1) Start program configuration applet Settings/All Settings, tab System, Keyboard Config
2) Menu/Add key
3) Press desired key (e.g. Mute Button)
4) Choose Action=Run program
5) Into Program edit box enter \Windows\Camera.exe
6) OK
7) Update Config (needed to reflect config changes to keyboard driver)
And it should work, I Yust tried it on "Back" button.

Mute button as record button
since i bought the device i always saw the mute button as record button, with mort script here is my contribution
just zip and put anywhere in your device, as the software Keyborad config to launch it on long press for example, the script will if HTC Recorder software is not running then it will run and start recording, and if it already runing then it will stop the record, the script even has a place to takle device being locked so it will unlock and do the process
regards
mute button to record, help please.
hi everyone. this is my 1st post, and so far, i've been able to answer most of my questions by searching, so apologies if i dun something wrong, or am just dense and missed somethin.
ok, i have a meeting next week, and need to record it, surreptisiously.
1st, as pointed out above(havent figured out how to quote yet !) i've installed tarkim's key remapper.
seems to work fine, but, im trying to make the mute button on the back turn on the voice recorder. i've tried getting it to use record.ink and record.exe but although both options open the voice recorder, neither makes it actually start recording! im looking for a 1 button action to record voices.
i tried the zip above too, but it says 'unable to open, open from within application then try again or something.
can anyone help me please ? my career hangs on being able to record this meeting .
also, when using the remapped mute button, the screen lights up and shines from underneath the phone, which might be a bit of a giveaway lol, anyway to make the recorder work with the screen still off ?
and also, how long can you record for ? is there a limit ? or is it dictated by the storage space available ?
thanks in advance, thanks to all the mods n gurus here at XDA, you all rock, n i'm a confirmed HTC n winmo addict now lol.

okay am here lets try to get the software working for u, first install attached file, then answer this question, do u use a password to lock ur device or not? then i will re attach some files for u to help u
mute button to operate voice recorder continued
hi rabia, thanks for your blindingly quick response ! unfortunately, i've been away for the weekend and unable to post.
i have a uk orange branded locked tp2. this has the htc voice recorder (version 1, build 1914.1333) already installed. can you explain please what the above file is for ?
in answer to your question, i do not use a password to access my device.
as mentioned in my last post, i have successfully mapped the mute button to the voice recorder app, using tarkims key remapper mentioned near the top of the 1st page, but this only starts the app, not starts the app recording. this is the app similar to a dictaphone, not the 'in call' voice recorder.
thanks for your time by the way, hopefully one day, my tp2 will work exactly the way i want, but i guess i'm a perfectionist lol.

good, get the zipped file extracted, put the MSCR file on windows directory, along with the link file, then assign the back button to launch the "LINK" onlythen it will launch recorder and record then when mute button pressed again it will stop it and close the application
regards
ok, so i've unzipped the two files and copied them to the windows directory. then i deleted the previous association with the mute button, and assigned it to your record.link. press the mute button and hey presto, the voice recorder opens, but doesnt start recording guess i must be doing something wrong somewhere, but i've no idea what lol. guess im starting to do your head in Rabia, cos it's definately starting to do mine in

i guess there is something wrong, first have you got mort script installed in your device?, and secondly it it opend record and does not record it might still means u have not updated ur configurations after reassigning the button, to know if the program working correctly or not launch it from the .mscr file if it works from there then it works fine if not then u either dont have mort script installed "http://www.sto-helit.de/downloads/mortscript/MortScript-4.2.zip" or u dont have touch pro 2
regards
well, if you'd said at the begining 'do you have mortscript installed?' rabia
ok, so i had mortsript on my storage card, so i installed it
and nothing changed , except, my storage card became invisible
so i swopped cards, deleted everything, and tried again, including ur link to mortscript (4.2 instead of 4.1 i already had).
hey presto, now when i press the mute button, it stops whatever i'm doing, takes me to the today screen, and applies the screenlock
i now have a one button push to lock my phone
just to make sure, i pressed ur record.mscr file in the windows directory, and the same happens
to be fair though, my phones been acting up recently, so im considering a hard reset at the weekend as well as re formatting the storage card.
i'll try this again after as i still think this would be a kool feature to have.
i'll keep u posted, and once again, thanks for all your help.
p.s.- i mite be a noob, but i know i've got a TP2

sorry i was not suggesting anything, it was a joke, anyways try to replace the mscr with the attached file and tell me exaclt what happens
ok, so i replaced the record.mscr in the windows directory, with the record.mscr.txt in the zip above, and now, tarkims keyremapper doesnt see it, so i cant configure the mute key to run it as a program lol.

there should not be .txt to try renaming the file to record to .mscr only, am avalable online, i will stay till u get it right its hard to write a script for a different phone thats why i need us to stay communicating

ok, so i renamed the record.mscr.txt , removing the .txt . then i retried the keyremapper, but again, it dint't see it, so i went back into the windows directory, and hey presto, it had renamed itself record.mscr.txt

[Q] Mute ring not functioning ??!!!

Hello everybody...
When I tap the "mute ring" button during incoming call, it simply not works. Animation showing that screen "recognised" the tap, but it is not doing its function. The Ring call is still "on"...
I am googling for a couple of days and can't find any solution....
Anyone?
Any idea is a great help...
Thanks
46 views and nobody has an idea or my case is unique?
OK...I will extend the problem description....
I tried to "bypass" the problem by installing some apps which work on their own.
For example, Phone Ex 2.2 when I tap the "mute ring" button it does the command "Answer" wtf????
There was another app which I can't remember the name and which is originally designed to program all the hardware buttons as per user's taste, but the application didn't have any "mute ring" option.
So...I think I can not resolve the problem by installing another application, so I beleive there is somebody on this forum that can help me in a different way....
To mute the ringer you can push the down volume key, this is what i do and it always works. This is actually a shortcut button for most phones if i'm not mistaken

Well it WAS on previous models of HTC and blackberry, but it is not the case by default on my device.
I have the same problem with my Touch2 and when this happened, my call (hard) key also not functioning. I have to do a soft reset and it came back to work again. I guess u have to soft reset your phone every couple of days so that it cleared out waste memory which effected this function.
After i soft reset mine, it works again but after using for awhile it will have the same problem. Dont know how to permenently fix
