i have a I-mate PDA2K version of the blue angel, but my power button wont work if pressed once(its supposed to turn the display off) but when pressed and held, it works(turning the backlight off but not the display).
When the device is off(no display) the power button responds right away when pressed. can somebody help me?thanks..
Same problem. Have you found an answer to this?
It seems to be a Hardware fault common on the BA. For now until i get the time to trace it. I use PHM tools and route the button in front of the power button to suspend after installing PHM tools.
What is PHM tools? Can I use PHM tools to assign Power button functions to another button?
I got a new problem. Now I can't power it ON. If I could only remap power button to Record or Media Player button (they seem to be the same...) maybe I could get by another 3 years...

Hi,
does anybody know a program to map the power button to a different button lik the OK-button to switch an MDA III on and off as the power button is broken?
Greetings

VJKeypress can do this. Also VJEschaton I think...

Power button mapping
I've tried Vijay 555 to assign power on/off to another button, but it has not worked. I need to map on/off elsewhere, whilst having the button lock option, as my normal Blue Angel power button is broken.
Have I used the software correctly? Is there a way of re-mapping power button AND having button lock still not allow any other button to power the device up?
Any help would be great - whilst I carry on searching the site!!
Guys,
Do you know of a WM5/WM6 utility that will lock the keypad controls when the screen goes blank after 5 mins on my Trinity? What I would want to happen is that I press either the power button to take it out of standby mode and activate all keys again as it is hen its in my pocket the buttons get pressed and aspects like the start menu or contacts open automatically.
What i want is like on the Orange C500 where you press * enter or something to activate the keypad.
Cheers

Simply go to your settings-system.key lock. There you can enable this function without a tool!
you can try an utility for vijay555 at www.vijay555.com, it locks by phone with the standard lock utility (the today plugin included by default) and turns off the screen, you can assign it to a key to have both things done automatically.
when you power on the device, you will have to unlock it to get the phone pad activated.
The default keylock does not work! It locks the softkeys but it does not lock the hard keys on the control pad as they often get touched and do things like access contacts etc when i do not want them too!!!
The default Keylock works for me- Orange SPV M700 with WM6 MunRus ROM- selecting 'Lock all keys except power key when off' also disables the navigation and phone keys.
It needed a couple of soft resets for it to take though.
tried that and it does not work?
or use the Slide2Unlock, it works excellent.
I configured it to lock when Light is dimmed, and then turn of the screen after 15 seconds, but without putting device in standby.
Then I disabled standby in the Power panel.
I also assigned to manually start it when pushing the button next to the power button.
So now I can start the music player, push that button and it will keep on playing. and to get back, I push the power button and slide finger over screen.
Done.
Real handy.
Don't forget to give some coffee to developer.
where is that utility?

I hate the way power button is positioned on Hermes. I have trouble finding it plus each time I try to use it I accidentally slide keyboard open.
Is there any way to use PTT button as power button instead? I might be able to figure out how to use it to power unit down but is it possible to use it to power unit up while other buttons will still be locked?
Making PTT shut 'er down or suspend it is really easy, but I've never seen a way to make it power on with any button besides power.
Hi, is it possible to press the power button once to put the phone to keylock and lights off?
thanks
you can also hold the END key
hey, i got it to work,
But i'm using S2u2 to do it with smarttoolkit.
http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/
Install S2u2 with onto the phone then use a freeware program called, mymobile.
http://www.mtux.com/
with it, i can change the s2u2 settings on the pc with the mouse.
then with smarttoolkit, i add a hotkey
http://smarttoolkit.wordpress.com/
I add S2u2 as a hotkey and i bind it to the power key.
now it works perfectly, just don't hold down the power button and tap it a few times.
it shuts the phone off. lol
I want to toggle between Vibrate and Ring+Vibrate with the PTT button.
If you're talking about the PTT button them my guess is that you have a Tilt2 -- and if that's the case then all you need to do is press and hold the far right hardware button on the front ("hang up"): this will switch between the ring you have set (presumably vibrate+ring) and vibrate.
Now you've got the PTT button free to map to something else useful. For mapping I would suggest the Rhodium Keyboard Controller (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240).
Yes. I do have the ATT Tilt Two.
I'm running the stock rom. I used Crud Scraper to remove the bloat. When I press and hold the end call, it locks the phone. I have no need for that function because when the screen is off on the Tilt 2, the keys lock, unlike on the Tilt 1. I had to use S2U2 on my old Tilt.
Look for the setting
I think it is start>settings>Personal>Long End Key to change the behavior of the 'hold end key'.
The link provided by pistou will do what you need with the PTT button.
I decided to use the PTT button to turn on the Comm Manager.
I copied it from the windows directory to the start menu, so that it shows up under the button options. Now I can disconnect data more easily for added battery life. Thanks for all your help.
