I've installed WM6 Blak Majik and everything is great except for one thing..
When I press the 'phone' button (you know, the metal one to the left of the left soft key), nothing happens.
This means that if i want to make a call, the only way i can get to the dialer is to go through the start menu and select 'phone' which is very frustrating.
Has anyone else noticed this after installing Blak Majik and how can i fix it?
How can i re-map this button?
(I don't have 3G video calling).
Thanks.

they are hardware buttons... try a reflash... you are the only one that has seen this issue.... and in future post issues about that ROM here
Same issue for me but that goes for all hardware buttons, and yes I have flashed several times

Have tried the all my friend, started off with Schaps and ended with Black Majik.
Due to anonther error I have flashed them several times. This error that I have got on all ROMS later or sooner is the white screen (i.e. the screen goes white but the phone still works). It is like an reversed screensaver.
To add to the strange list, my phone buttons are flashing more or less the whole time.
I am using Hard SPL v7 if someone is curios

sounds like you have a hardware issue and not a software issue... time to flash back to the original ROM and send it back...
Thats my plan!
I am looking into the downgrade guide by mrvanx
Some people have this problem. Look at Schaps's thread.
This bug is random, so, it is not a hardware problem.
Sometimes, the buttons on the front face work, sometimes they don't. But the other buttons, around the Qtek, works always.
(sorry for my 'frenglish')
The round phone button (3G phone button) doesn't work with Black Majik, just use the green phone button to enter the phone software

you do realize that black majik doesnot have a 3g dialer build it, you have to install the video dialer after flashing.
also the only hardware button on black majik that doesnt work is the 3G dialer button.(simple solution for getting to the phone software, press the green call button)
as for the other ROMs al the ones i have tryed have all hardware buttons working.
(also ive never had a ROM flash that i need to do twice coz something went wrong, i didnt think anything could go wrong, the cooks wouldnt release something that didnt work as drestically as having no hardware buttons!!)

Yes obviously i know that Black Majik doesn't have a 3G dialer built-in.
Of course i'm speaking AFTER having installed...

so OBVIOUSLY if you know that black majic doesnt have a 3G dialer, you know that you need to go to the black majik site abd download the add-on for 3G dialer

Have you read the first 2 posts? firstly Black Majik is a NON Video Calling ROM (all of the black roms are i think), yes the hardware button is disabled, no i dont know how to remap it, i dont think you can i think it needs done before the ROM is compiled (not sure)
Also a quick fix to get to the "phone" function (which is what the button you are talking about is used for) press the green call button is launched the "phone" software!
no matter wat you do i dont think you will get the hardware button working, unless you are real good at cooking ROMs, since we are talkin i assume you wont be able to do this, as neither can i!!!
(sorry if i sound short, in wrk n not got lots of time to type this stuff!!)
However if someone does know how to remap this particular button please share!!!

Using my Cingular 8525, was using Black 2.0 with no problems, but wanted to try LVSW's newest ROM, so I flashed to that. It ran good, but battery life was horrible, so I wanted to go back to Black 2.0, so I flashed to it. Re-installed everything, but my camera didn't work, if I pressed the button nothing happened. I did a hard reset, no luck, I reflashed Black 2.0, still wouldn't work.
My solution was to flash to an older LVSW ROM, and that worked, my camera was back. So, I flashed again to Black 2.0, and everything is fine.
What happened to my camera?

I'm running Black 2.0 on 8525 w/o camera issue.
You may want to remap the buttons, that's all I can think of.

No, it wasn't a button issue. If I went to start/programs and chose camera, nothing happened.
But, like I said, it's all working fine now after 4 million re-flashes.

pervert, quit flashing just for your camera.. i mean phone.. um
sounds like a weird issue though, but like they said before.. sometimes things happen.. the unexplainable mystery's of your phone...
it could be that your physical camera might have intermittent issues
I actually have the same issue. I have been running Black 2.0 now for a couple weeks or better (awesome build JJ) with no issues whatsoever, until about 3 or 4 days ago the camera stopped. Same issue as posted, button doesn't work, I tried going to the exe file, nothing. I tried loading a 3rd party program that is supposed to be better then the OEM Cingy camera program, it would flash up for a second and then disappear.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that JJ is going to come out with 2.5 and I will reflash my ROM and see if it comes back.
Funny, I have used the camera like 3 or 4 times since I got it...wouldn't have missed it but came across a pretty cool photo contacts/dialer program that I want to start using....went to use the camera for my first contact....and nothing.
JJ if your readin...please let me know if you release a Black 2.5, I would be all over it bud.
Cheers
Whats the Photodialer program called ? I was dissapointed in the 8125 and 8525s built in picture contacts, I mean if this sucker can do video calls why wouldn't they let me atleast have a pic of who I wanna call lol. Sometimes I think they treat this too much as a phone first and PDA second.
I believe it is called V2R PhotodialerPPC. Pretty cool compared to a few others I have tried. It is a today plugin, actually similar to the "Five" where you can rotate through the images with your 5-way. When you select a contact it makes that one active and then allows you to switch through that contact's different numbers rather then most others where you can only select one number from that contact.
Now if I can just get my camera working again on my 8525...
Cheers
Having a bit of a problem. I flashed the 2.5 Cinguar WM6 ROM onto my brand new 8525 and I just tried to start my camera and it is not starting. I even tried using CoolCamera and it starts then immediately closes. Anyone having this problem and anybody know a fix for it? Thanks!
No Problems with Camera
I am running the 2.5 Cingular rom as well and I have no problems with the camera application. I suspect the problem is not rom related. If a soft reset does not work, you may want to do a hard reset to see if the problem persists. If so, you may have gotten a bad flash. If not, add programs currently installed one by one until you find the culprit.
Hope this helps.
Chris
That happened to me after I downloaded Pocket TV I think. I never checked the camera until after I had loaded all the programs back on and went to take a picture and got an error trying to turn it on.but I would definatly reflash if a hard reset does not do the trick
Camera problem
I just flashed to Black 2.5 Cingy as well and my camera application works ok, but the button on the camera brings up task manager instead of the camera application when pushed...

Hi ,
I noticed this on all the WM6 Roms ( never even used the real WM5 ATT ROM)
But when you open the qwerty keyboard and start typing fast the light goes off and then when you press any botton it goes back on. I`m just wondering if its my unit or is it just ROMs flaw ? I didnt see anyone talking about this so I`m starting to think its my unit. Thanks in advance.
Mine's done that. It usually goes off when the phone tries to do something else, like checking or downloading email.
Also, turn off the word suggestion feature, that just caused problems such as missed letters, and I think it added to the light turn off problem as well.

i don't think it particularly happens on wm6. it happened when i used jap wm5 by softbank, and it still happens with lvsw. thought it was more like a hardware issue.

It's happened on all WM6 ROMs that I've tried (Custel, LVSW, JJ). There was a dicussion on this, and changing the word completion helped but did not completely resolve the issue.

I always had the it off, just "Enable Auto Correct" on and since day one and it does it, it does it less on the black IV, but still does it.
hey guys,
my green answer call button doesnt seem to work. i'm wondering if its the rom or the phone. it still lights up but doesnt respond when i push the button.
any suggestions like a button tester program?
kind regards,
jason
Are you having any problems with any other keys?
If its just the one you can break your phone down and check your connections and see if anythings loose or damaged. Make sure to go to the Wiki and check out the guide on how to properly take your phone apart.
everything works except for that the green phone button
Starting to wonder about malfunctioning buttons posts
I myself posted a thread on my malfunctioning power button . I am getting the feeling that certain apps and tweaks are causing some of these malfunctioning hardware buttons to happen. Not exactly a scientific point of view, but I think lots of this button malfunctioning (no matter which one), can eventually be resolved by HR or as mentioned in another post, Clear Storage. I myself, within a minute, pulled out my SDMicro card out for 15 seconds, took off Quickmark application (last app or cab put on my system), and my power button turns on/off as it should. I had to resort to SR's when I had my problem..........................
Latest: Found out that my main problem was NOT any of the above,, it all seemed to occur because of a buildup of Notification Queue's,, so check that out... I think that those queue's can be a source of a lot of problems
cheers for that suggestion.
softreset doest fix it so i will have to resort to hard reseting.
lucky the vodaphone version has the 3G phone button and i can use that to get to the dial pad but it then assumes my calls are 3G which are annoying
has anyone got any suggestions then?
i flashed K's new rom and still my 'Green Answer Phone' button doesnt work.
thanks in advance for any help

i had a similiar problem when installing a different dialer via cab.
i would suggest to either install a naked rom (like pandora naked) or one of the older roms (like schaps v3.x).
do not install any other cabs and see if the green button is working.
i flashed pandora naked rom and it still doesnt work.
any one have any other suggestions?
if not will i have to take the phone apart :S?
the Irda doesn't work at all, when i install a program to use my tytn as a remote for my tv, and i try to clone my remote i get an error saying "Irda port being used by another application"
and it wont communicate with over devices via Irda. other than that it works great...does anybody know a way to fix this problem?
p.s. tried other roms, Irda works fine, so it's not the phone.
please help this lost soul!!
thanks!
sorry, posted in wrong area! rookie mistake! forget about it!
A general rule I follow is not to use too many .cabs as certain apps and tweaks can cause some of these malfunctionings to happen.
You cant be installing cabs for everything on your phone. Do you really have so much space in your phone?
hey guys i thought this was a thread about getting my green answer call button working again!
seem like more of a hardware problem to me. you can still try checking for bad blocks, flashing another radio, but that all may be futile. look up the disassembly guides in the wiki. mikechannon also has some stuff on that, if u click on his sig
I've been running the 6.1 rom for about a week now and I'm seeing an issue where when the phone is synced with the pc or when I'm in the middle of a phone call the screen goes all white. I quick key press and it goes back to normal but this keeps happening over and over.
I tried reflashing the rom, reverting to official tmobile then reflashing 6.1 and it still does it.
Anyone else?

Touch JOGGER 3 times in 10 seconds will open Lowlight.Attention,this will maybe make your backlight always on if you don't close it.
in 080318 this function has been closed as default
That did the trick! Thanks!
My phone recently started doing this as well. I try tapping the jogger bar 3 times, but doesn't seem to do anything. I'm I missing something this seems too simple for even me to mess up...

Hey just want to state that the 3 click thing was unchecked on my phone when i installed kavana 6.1 so i've click on it and i'll report back what happenes.
We'll it seems clicking the 3 in 10 seconds option in the jogger options keeps the white screen from poping up on me, will keep posted soon.
White Screen
So it i havent had anymore issues today, click on 3 in 10 option in Jogger settings.
Seems to be pretty stable now for me seems better with the 3 in 10 setting checked.
will report if i get it again.
