Hi all,
Often I reduce the sound, and didn't do it on purpose, so Is it possible to deactivate the volume buttons ?
Or is it possible to reallocate these buttons to other programs to launch ?
Thanks
Franck
Entirely possible but impractical to do so, I have the same problem with the buttons being a little bit sensitive (especially when placing the device on its side).
Check the market place for a remapping app.

1. Is there any way to key lock the unit without pushing the power button and picking it
2.there any way to change the brightness of the screen? only option i seen was setting the backlight timer
oh and one more thing does anyone elses space and power key feel a little flaky?
I wouldn't worry too much about the keys...
I will list the keys which at random times feel flaky/have felt flaky to me
Space
Power
Fn
the i key
etc..
I think it'll be ok.
Check out the FAQ over at Hofo. They list some good key shortcuts. Here is teh most recent version.
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.
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...
This will be hard to explain in english but i will try.
Volumebutton on the side, it turns of my ringer now and then, very annoying. I dont understand why HTC let that button control ringvolume at all wake times.
One solution was to edit keypad.kl, i made volumebutton to a scrollbutton. That solution was of course not so good.
Is there another way? I want it to be able to change volume when playing media but i dont want it to be able to change ringvolume.
Softwarewise there is functions to individually have different sets of volume on media, ringer, messagenotification, this in Settings control panel. Somewhere in the code there should be some kind of call to those functions and give volumebutton access to ringvolume. Maybe possibility to delete that function that lets volumebutton change ringvolume?
Does anyone understand my jibbrish-english?
Perhaps any rom-cooking chef could do an "update.zip" for this purpose? Or is this deep inside the software that needs reorganizing much?
Any chef want to confirm my request are looked into? I want this so very much and i dont think i´m alone with this wish.
Or if its practically impossible, please tell me then so i can drop the idea.
Or if my english is so messed up you dont understand what i mean, tell me so i can try harder to explain.
Yes it can be done, all you would need to do is edit the key bindings located in the following file "system\usr\keylayout\qwerty.kl" , you could do this in a update.zip form or via adb.
What do you want the volume up and down keys binded to do>?

I'm also interested in this. Great idea! It has made me miss several calls
Let's not forget that they should work during a call too, which, in my opinion, is even more important.
Would it in some way be possible to stop the volume keys from changing the media volume when the screen is turned off? It's quite annoying when you take your phone out of your pocket and grab it by the volume up button

Whats the difference between qwerty.kl and keypad.kl? I have tried alter keypad.kl but then vol-button became more or less useless, it lost all volume-functions. I only want it to loose ability to change the ringer-volume and leave the rest of volumes alone.
I pulled qwerty.kl from my phone and it practically looks almost the same as the keypad.kl.
If i change key 114 and 115 in qwerty.kl to be for example scrollbutton i wont be able to change any volume at all with that button?
I too would like a similar function as there really is no need for the ability to change it almost anywhere;, especially with the volume rocker being so easily pushed on this phone. The following would be my preferred set up:
Only adjust media volume while playing media (including screen lock as I find it beneficial to change volume without taking phone out of my pocket)
Only adjust ring volume while in sound settings menu (where it should be!)
Volume adjust while in call should be left as is.
The only thing I would want fixed is that you shouldn't be able to use the volume buttons while the screen is locked/turned off.
This is probably the weirdest question asked but here's my scenario
I work part time at samsung store. My shift starts in the morning when we open. Naturally, we have to turn on all the TV's so i use my HTC's IR blaster (Range is amazing) to turn on all the TV's
What i want: an app (tried searching if it exists. no success) which can make the volume buttons function as if the screen is pressed in that particular point, when app running on background
I.E, if i press volume down, it performs the action as if the top right hand side of my phone is being pressed by my finger (Acts like a mouse i guess?)
The reason i want this is because the IR app i use has the buttons really close to each other, i end up pressing other buttons making the TV do different stuff (My fingers are chunky) and also this method would be very easy as i need to point my phone and press the physical button instead of constantly locating the button (Physical buttons are always awesome)
Maybe assign the volume up as if the left corner of my phone is being pressed, where the mute button is
Please tell me if an app exists or if i'm talking complete nonsense:silly:
If it doesnt make sense, read through again or ask me for a brief explaination. THanks:laugh:
