Hi, is there any software that provides changing phone profiles (mute, vibrate, ring, vibrate-ring) while pressing the power button...just like shutxp but with these options...or all of the options?
Could someone do this...I thing it´s kind of a must...
Bye
:-D reminds me old Nokia 3310 which also used the power off button for profile switching :-D
Well, I don't know about such software, but I've noticed you can map the power off button to some action in Mobile Magic, so you may need to find some app for changing profiles and map the app to the button in Mobile Magic. It should work.

G-Profile does this I believe.

I used to have an XDAII (the very first) where the unit could be woken up by pressing any button. There was a setting in the control panel that allowed you to set it to only recongnize the power button or have the other buttons wake it up. Naturally I set it to the power button, but after a while, that button got worn down and stopped "working" so I naturally set it to recognize any other button.
This experience has taught me the hard way, that its a good choice to have (or maybe even a necessity in some cases) that other buttons to wake the unit up in case of situations like this.
I've just bought an Atom life and unfortunately it ONLY recognizes the power button to wake the unit up. Is there any hack or software out there that could enable the other buttons (or better yet, allow selection of which buttons can turn the unit on)?
I'd like to use the large middle button on the front if possible, since that button seems more "sturdy" than the power button. I may be able to save that poor power button from years of wear and tear.
just realized i posted in the wrong section. Moderators, feel free to move it to the parent Atom section, and my sincerest apologies
Hi, nargalzius
I have been search for decade, but i still cannot find the way to assign other button for waking up da device......
same problem here...
anybody out there figured this one out already?
bump
did anybody find a hack for this?
I have just the opposite problem. I use the headphones that come
with the Atom Life - the button on it not only turns on the device.. if
you bang the mouth piece on something (without hitting
the button), it turns it on too!! I'd love a solution to that
I use O2 Flame and got the same setting, no other hard key than the power button can wake up the device from sleep. Anyone knows the tricks or registry hacks, please share. Thank you very much.
Atom Life Wakeup Button
Hi guys, there doesn't seem to be an answer on here and I assume the reason is as follows - Atom Life also wakes up by pressing the "end" key... (I think this is a general hardware setup)
I was also a bit weary of the power button being worn out, so I did some experimentation and found that the end button works a treat if you have the same concern "end - s2u"... swweeet!
Hope this helps.

You mean when the phone is in standby mode and you press the END key, the phone will come out of standby? Beats the whole purpose of standby then
I do echo the same "problem" of not being able to change the mapping of the power button to the front button.. ( as I was able to do with my XDA II)
I 'm confused about the "end" key solution..
Anyone finding a solution ?
Thank you all
Nearest program might be MORT saver? it allows you to specify the button that put the device in to MORT stand by and therefore the same button that will awake the device. Not exactly the power button option that you talk of wanting but at least MORT also stops the device from waking up when any of the buttons around the action button are pressed.
Currently, the way I change my PPC profile is by pressing the side volume button, and then tapping on vibrate. That will cause the phone to be in silent mode. I believe many of us do the same?
The problem is, I find it a hassle to press on the button and then tap. It's just too many steps. Is there any app than when tapped on, toggles the volume ON/Vibrate?
Or anyone with vb.net experience can help me on creating such an app? thanks!
I would be interested in this as well
there is a new version of AE Button! The Button map application! Any experiences? Is there an improvement for the HD? Let´s test
Anyone tried?
I wish to know too =)
Is it free?
I have this registered.
The unregistered version is actually almost fully functioning and well worth trying.
I choose to register since I found the application useful and it seemed fair to pay the developer.
THANKS, for the new version alert. But, I suspect there is little new as the history details for this version are:
02.02.2009(v2.6.6):
Fixes:
Backlight works on HP 612c now
Languages:
Updated Traditional Chinese resources (thanks to Chow Yuh)
AE Button
I find this software very useful. It completely eliminates the need of locking/unlocking software for me.
I just set double or triple tap to answer and hang up keys. This will prevent accidental key press when taking HD out of pocket. To answer call, simple double/triple tap on answer key or simply slide on screen to answer (built-in screen lock will be unlocked during incoming call).
Set press and hold volume up to toggle wireless and down to toggle bluetooth.
This one single software solved all my screen locking + lack of buttons issues!! Believe me i tried touch lock pro, sensor lock, slide to unlock and what ever you can think of (I didnt like because I think its not really practical for me to be rolling phone 180 degrees or shaking back n fourth in meetings to answer a call.)...I know you guys may argue it has light sensors to unlock, but I'll be in meetings and presentations which might be low light conditions. I do not want to set very small for polling interval either. If you have tried all else, no harm in trying this.
if you guys face the same problem like me, this tiny software might be the right solution for you.
The best combination for me:
Gyrator2 (fine tuned based on my apps) + Lumos + AE Button Plus + Touch Response (for onscreen keypress only).
The only flaw that i could find to complain is that they should really change the icon...it looks like bread/potato/or whatever...
Headset Buttons
Hi there,
is this program able to capture the button press events from a headset wired/wireless?
What I'd like to achieve is, to switch to the next song in Mediaplayer as long there is no incoming or active call.
Is that possible?
Thx in Advance

Hi, I believe not. I understand the press events from headsets and bluetooth AVRCP are actually trapped in the hardware by HTC and by-pass the operating system and are sent directly to TF3D music or WMP.
If you check on the AEB plus site: http://ae.inc.ru/ it says the app is not for specific applications.
(Also: the AEB+ icon does look like a loaf of bread !!)
Will it allow me to remap the Home button on the Touch HD?

Nope. All the others but not the home button.
I have:
1. volume up. 1 press = arrow up, 2 press = volume up, long press = plamp (flash light)
2. volume down. 1 press = arrow down, 2 press = volume down, long press = resco notes recorder (auto)
3. OK / back. 2 press = rotate screen 90 deg
I keep the long press on phone end and long press on phone start handled by the system.
Dave, thanks a lot and you have some very smart short cuts
I may very well adopt them too.

Thanks, but I'm needing a suggestion for replacing the flash light. Never used this now "for real" so I shall find something else for the long volume up press ...
I have almost identical settings but use the long up as a bluetooth toggle. This is a fantastic program and really eliminates one of the few shortcomings of this phone.

Question guys,
How do I map the call button to long press (like the smallest long press ever) to get the Start menu?
Thanks
Sorry, I don't understand what you want. Is "call button" the "end call" or "start call" ?
Dave, call button is the left-most button that answers/makes a call. If it were colored, it would have been green.
I want to short press it to start menu (heres the tricky part, I have Quick Menu as my start menu).
Basically I miss the Start button from my TyTn II (Kaiser) and the scroll on the top. I have managed to set the volume buttons as scroll up/down and want the start call button to imitate the start menu button when I long press it. But I want to long press it for as little time as possible. So say 1 second as opposed to 3 seconds.
I see. So, two points:
1. Get quick menu
2. Use a "short" long press
I asked because the green/start left button is assignable in the standard settings - button to the <start menu> but I don't know how to do this to quick menu. I guess if you make a short cut to quick menu and drop this somewhere in the Programs folder in windows (or a sub-folder) then the standard settings - button should find it OK.
But, for option 2 I have no idea. Instead of the "short" long press how about using AEB+ with a double press ?
Dave, I see from the options that you can set the delay. I guess this from the "Key Press timeout" menu where you can select units of time starting with 200ms to 900ms. I am guessing that 200ms of time needed for a long press would be the shortest longpress possible.
Any how, how to assign the green button to start menu? It doesnt work for me. I have it as 2 presses or 3 presses or long press for start menu but nothing happens.
one problem it works to rotate(volume up which i assigned) but as soon as i make a call or recieve a call it no longer works untill i soft reset???? im i missing a setting or something? i have duttys rom, please help! : ) thanks!
The power button on HD is in an inconvenient position and hard to press.
Is it possible to use any other button (like Vol-Down) to power off and on?
I tried AEButton, but it does not seem to have an option to "power-on".
Thanks
Power Off would be possible, however to Power On the device you always need to press the configured power button. This is since AEButton is a software solution and does not alter the hardware settings. Thus making it only run while Windows Mobile is on (by altering the Windows Settings), and since when the device is off WinMo isn't running, so it won't work while the device is off.

It's supposed to be somewhat difficult ...
If you don't already know, virtually ALL power buttons are somewhat hard to press/use. It's supposed to be that way. If they were easier to press, you could easily power off your phone while it's in your pocket by accidentally hitting the volume up or down keys, or any other accidental push.

I actually meant the state into which the device goes when you press the power button once (Sleep, suspend ... whatever that is called, although this state is sometimes called power-off), and not complete power-off (by holding the power button).
In this Sleep/Suspend, is it not possible to remap the button?
I mean that it is still able to receive calls in this state, so something is running. But not WinMo?

You are right for accidental presses. However that can be taken care by assigning (if possible) a double press instead of single.
Oh, and I am sorry, I did not mean full power off, only sleep/suspend.
For PDAs, such a button placement may be ok, as you anyway have to use both hands to hold the PDA and take out/use the stylus.
But for this phone, single hand use is important. I dont use the stylus most of the time.

to power on with up/down control, change DefaultKeyLock to 0 in registry.

Thanks!! That's almost does it, but for the double press.
I added single press of Vol-Dn in AEB to Today Screen, and double press to a MortScript with PowerOff command.
Now to see if it accidentally comes on in the pouch...
I have a question. Is it possible to do the program, which by pressing the key, it turning on/off the screen light. The button on top is closing everything, i want to turning off only light.

Install psShutXP (site). It also creates a shortcut in programs called "display switch". Assign this to a button ét voila, the display switches off while the rest keeps running. Be aware that keypresses still work in this mode!
Grtz.
Thx u
This program is great.
"Assign this to a button ét voila" - where i can assign button for light off only?

i think your rom already contains a program called "display switch" : take a look in your program tab.
