i finally upgraded to the tilt 2 after 2 years of having the tilt...i am not sure if i like it. i don't know if this is because i installed smartskey or not, but my volume up and down keys aren't working now. they were functioning as page up/page down while i had smartskey installed but i didn't like that because i can't find a simply way to adjust the volume. on my tilt with windows mobile 6 if i tap the loudspeaker icon on the taskbar the volume/vibrate settings appear with the scroll bar, but now when i tap it, it takes me to "notifications" which only shows me my connection, battery life, and messages. is there an easy way to access the volume? the only way i can seem to access the volume is through the settings in the touchflo 3d system which i don't really want to use. now that i have removed smartskey the volume buttons aren't doing anything. how do i fix this?
ive never used smartskey, but you may want to try asking in that thread for help. worse comes to worse all you have to do is hard reset and should have the volume buttons back.

When I'm in lectures I have my device set to vibrate only. Does anyone know how I can set it so I can toggle this mode at the push of a hardware button?
Thanks.
Im not sure if Artemis has a comm manager button .. it ought to have, I guess. Anyway, if it has a comm manager button, just press and hold that button will do a toggle.
It does, I did have it bound to launching Tomtom, but I set it back to comm manager - holding it doesn't do anything aside from launching the comm manager.
hm.. probably it is not supported then. In most PPC, the application the button is set to, doesnt overwrite the press-hold vibrate toggle. I think you may want to look for a vibrate toggle program that you can use (i.e. assigned to a button). I think VJ has one.
Just keep pressing down on the volume slider until it's set to "vibrate". I know it isn't the answer you were looking for, but it's the closest thing you'll get to a hardware toggle on the Artemis.
There's a problem with that though, demione, it's fine for setting it to vibrate, but on the way down there it sets both system and phone volume to 0 - when you try and take it off vibrate it seems to only raise system volume, not phone.
So it seems doing it that way leaves the phone volume at 0.
I think a program would just be simplest, does anyone know where I might find the one mentioned?
Interestingly.. it is not VJ that has it.. another V guy has it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279228
Thanks, that's exactly what I was after.

How did you manage to set the button to launch the comm manager? I'm trying to associate a button with comm manager with no result

I thought the volume on left slide bar is general alerts AND ringtones, and the right slider is the in-call volume... mebbe not
I'm afraid I don't know how I set it to comm manager (if in fact I did - it might have come like that?).
Anyway, the utility that hanmin linked to is spot on, I've been using it for a while now with no complaints - as have my dad and brother (who both also have Orbits).
Hi all,
when you press the vol up/down key on the side it will pops out another full page of adjusting volume.
after i upgrade the the latest rom, it change to a pop up on the top only with 2 slider, on, vibrate and off.
I like that very much, but don't know what i had done, its gone and back to the ugly full page volume adjust.
can anyone help me to restore dual slider pops up thankx
Any ideas???
you probably touched the volume buttons before TF3d loaded. i think the "small" volume popup is wm 6.1 default.
Try disabling TF3D and check out.
but is there anyway i can use that instead??
Here is a question for the most advanced of you on wm6 tweak; take it as a challenge ;-)
I like the screen lock tweak, but I would like to be able to have the volume buttons unlocked, since quite often I listen to music and I want to adjust volume in connection to how noise the place is. As it is right now, I have to unlock the phone every time before pressing the volume buttons up or down.
Do you have any ideas on how to play with the registry in order to achieve this? I have the HTC Diamond 2...
i really miss hardware scroll buttons.
on the rhodium there are two little side buttons for adjusting the volume. i'd really like to repurpose these as scroll up/down. For example, to work inside a browser. Unfortunately, there is no standard option (i can find) to redefine the purpose of these buttons.
i'm hoping there's another way. eg registry hack etc.
thanks for any help,
Use AEBPlus
I am doing exactly the same thing with my Volume Up/Volume Down, I've turned them into arrow keys. The lack of these is my biggest annoyance with the TP2.
That said, I have noticed a little flakiness - most of the time they work fine, but sometimes I hit them and they don't scroll as I expect. Then a moment later they start working.
Anyway, it's much better than not having them re-assigned.
Incidentally, AEBPlus has a cool feature where you can tell it not to remap the Volume keys when you're on a call, so they can still be used then.
Thanks for the tip, i'll give it a go!
AEBPlus works? I'll try it. heard from another TP2 user that it caused his device to freeze up resulting in a hard reset...

Been OK for me so far
Yes, AEB Plus works (no hard reset), but I can only add the windows button. The <-- (back) button does not work when mapped using AEB Plus.
Also, if you're using the JBed Midlet manager, the arrow keys automatically scroll up and down. It works well with Opera Mini.
AEB plus does nothing for me... i just have a list of buttons I can't do anythign with, a giant memory leak and crashing.

Yeah there appears to be no way to open an entry from the list using touch alone - must be a bug.
Highlight one of the buttons in the list, flip out your keyboard and then press enter/return. It will open the Edit menu where you can assign that button to something.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! lol, I was wondering why people were talking so much about an app that does nothing
Did you guys install to main memory? I had no problems with AEB Plus on my 1.19.707.2 ROM.
I could assign the vol up/down keys and could also add the windows key. It is a bit tricky using the windows key as the first press brings up the programs tab.
I added the back key also, but couldn't get it to work. I didn't touch the send and end keys.
BTW, I used AEBPlus v2661

This all is my biggest concern upgrading from a Tilt.. I REALLY like hardware buttons, and make extensive use of AEButtonPLus as it is...

Press the entry in the list and keep holding for a few seconds more.
I've been using it since I had my touch hd and it works perfectly and I haven't found it to cause any issues.
Personally i assign one volume button to a task switcher (spb ms3 task manager) which makes multi-tasking far easier. You can then map double clicking to the original volume functions and even long hold to something else useful such as comm manager.
Awesome Tip. AEBplus Confirmed to be working fine on TP2 from T-Mobile (still stock rom for now). I made the volume buttons map to up and down like suggested but also made a long hold for volume up do "enter/activate" and a long hold for down do rotate the display.
my phone (telus rom) keeps getting screwed up when I install AEBplus and gets back to normal when I undo it.
Every time I try and click on the volume icon in the takbar (or anything in the task bar) of my device, theis stupid "notification" thing comes up and takes up the whole screen. I want to access the volume settings but can't (I know you can get the phone volume by clicking on up and down on the side) but you should be able to access the 2 types (system and phone) somewhere.
This didnt happen on my old windows mobiles so why this?
any help would be much appreciated as i have searched the forums manually and have found nothing.
