User Defined buttons gone AWOL

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

in settings..buttons what is button 5 set to to open as an app?

from sleuth...

@shadowmite: PTTFix might not help this case since lvsw's ROM isn't from Cingular. Cingular removed button 5 from the standard mapping and attached it to PTT in their ROM. My fix traps the custom messages they generate then re-directs them by interpreting the button manager's registry entries.
@yo3gjc:Sounds like you're mapped to an invalid app or shortcut. You should be able to re-map button 5 using the button manager though.

PTT fix
Yapp, you are right, my device has a cingy origin, the PTT fix is not fixing my problem. Any idea is kindly appreciated

can you see button 5 in button manager? (start->settings->personal tab->Buttons). If so, please post a screencap so we can see what you're trying to tell us.

PTT fix
Yapp I can see it in Button Settings, Button 5 (press and hold), and I can select the application for it but is not functional and when I press it shows me that pop-up message

So it pops the error message no matter what app you select? Looks like a hard reset is in your near future....

PTT fix
Yes this is correct, no metter what apps I am selecting from Button selection the "poo-up" message is there, at least to disble the button, this one is the easiest to be pushed ), and sorry my newbee question, how to do a hard reset, my device is 3 days old, I am still learning it.
tks

Using hardware:
while holding down the left & right softkeys, press the reset button. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen
Using software:
in Settings->System Tab, choose "Clear Storage" and follow the instructions. Not all ROMs have this but yours should.

PTT fix
I've done a hard reset and still the PTT button is not working, another message there is no apps assign for the button but from the buttons selection regardless what apps I am selecting I am getting the same message. Tks for support

you have to assign an application to Button 5, not Button 5 (press and hold)

BINGO!!!!! yes, you are right, is working, so Button 5 press and hold stays unassigned and assign to Button 5, Tks , you make my day

Configure left soft key as select button?

I miss having a hardware "select" button. Is it possible to configure the left soft key to act like a select key? i.e. to act the same way as a "click" on an item?
I've hunted around in Advanced Config but that only seems to offer the option of running apps

Normally the 'Select' is the Enter key, right? btw: It depends on the software.
What would you like to 'select'?

I'm using soft kboard navigation button for small file list navigation & selection . very easy because our screen is big enough

I wanted it to act like the hardware select key on some other phones - e.g. to open an appointment or a task from a list. It avoids opening the wrong item by mistake due to fat fingers.

Disable Send Key

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.

touch screen out? no SOFT KEYS?

Soooo I had to call tmobile warranty. My touch on the my screen no longer works. But what I find crazy is that for this to be a phone that is not just ALL touch im starting to wonder why even have a keyboard or am i just dumb? I cannot press send on a text if i want to send a message. I cannot even save a number 2 my contacts. With out the touch screen am I just SOL till my new phone comes in the mail? I can make phone calls my opening up the keyboard and using the arrow keys. But the limitations with this phone and no touch screen are ridiculous.
Just wondering am I not able to do NOTHING while my touch screen is out? If anything I want to send text messages and I cannot even do that. Any help? PLEASE ASAP THANKS! CED

so 20 people gladly view my post and out of the 20 no replies...wow

in your inbox for mms/text, press and hold H for a list of keyboard shortcuts. Press OK to get out of that list. press and hold key for desired shortcut. They are listed below:

But unfortunately, I can't figure out how to actually get the message to send once creating and typing it. Maybe you will have better luck.
Edit: actually you can use front facing buttonto get to start menu then use arrokeys and enter to navigate to (start->settings->personal->buttons), then you can set your ppt button or other button to left softkey and send that way... to get to set the button, use down arrow to get to the button you want,then right arrow once to highlight the "assign a program:" field, hit enter to expand that field, then scroll up or down with arrows to get to the <left softkey> (its at/near the top of the list), then hit enter and "OK" your way out of it. I'm assuming the version of the phone you have has the OK shortcut. You may need to soft reset afterwards, but should be good to go at that point.

The shortcuts are the same for his device, but you may have forgotten that the TMo version is unique in that it has no PTT button, no OK button (the enter key works fine to get rid of the shortcut box, however), and the Start button is actually a Home button. you could install tarkim's key remapper and set a hard key to the left soft button, but I haven't used this in a while and it may require some touch input.
Also, I use ZoomBarPlus which makes the zoombar function as a d-pad with up/down, action, and back keys. If you follow the instructions on the thread, you can omit the inbox from the default action and have ZoomBar work with it.
If these don't do it for you, then just wait it out for a couple of days. TMo sends these replacements out very quickly.

Thanks a lot !! worked like charm !!
Im from India , a place where TP2 is not released ( Can you believe that ?? ) , Hence no service for it..
So checking out some new mobiles or will wait for Q1 of 2011 ..
