[Q] Windows button as a notification light - possible? - Windows 10 Mobile

Hi, I've just found a pretty mockup of Windows 10 Mobile here and wanted to ask you whether it would be possible to tweak the system in the way that it lights up the menu buttons when there's a notification pending? How do you think?

+1 would love this feature!

For Android this is possibile, if you can install APKs you can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ledblinker or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939 however the developer can try to develope something like this.
For samsung's phone there is an app called BLN, it's a great app I used it on my Samsung rooted phone and use the buttons light like a led but, if I don't mistake, it required something to add on the kernel.

finger cross someone make it happen

Yes please

Look my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...ptweakers-2015-08-17-added-5th-quick-t3180474
You can modify registry to turn off led on hardware button.
so i think it can be very easy to use as notification !

The issue at hand is making it work with the screen off. And even if you can light the LED's, you won't just get the windows button, you'll also be getting the back, and search buttons. If we can find a way to turn on/off ONLY the windows button, this would be amazing. Now, having said that, I would still use it with all 3 flashing at once.

What's the registry key for the lights? Can they be enabled when the screen is off? If so I'll try to write a script to do this.

Do you have any knowledge in how the sound events work? Example: Open WPTweaker, go to Sounds, then find SMS. What I want to do is see how the SMS messages are handled, and how it knows to send a sound.

this app was made for win phone 8....not sure its the same workin process on win 10 mobile...

Good news!
After a long search, I found a video which (assuming that the button hardware is similar between Lumias) proves that JUST the windows button could be flashed.

This isn't even a started product yet. We know it's possible, but none of us truly understand how to link it with messages.

In 930 you can't make blink only windows button becouse it have only one channel for all three lights. In 925 I think it have 3 seperate channels.

Let's focus on making it work with either, then we can focus on smaller details.

Anyway to toggle Volume ON <-> Vibrate ?

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!
An app was recently posted on this board to do this. Can't remember the name. Try searching in development and hacking.

Change Keyboard Unlock

i was just wondering if there was anyway to change the key combo to unlock the keyboard, maybe a reg edit or some application.
I wish there were. I hate the combination they picked... I always miss that stupid "star" key. I think it could be possible by altering the keymap file, but then it would mess up the star key and move it somewhere else. heh
Hi,
I've been looking for an answer to this question as well, but so far no luck. I had a thread going in regards to this with a couple attempts at work-arounds if you'd like to have a look:

In my personal case, I would like any key other than the current *Z key, as my *Z key barely works anymore making the unlock process extremely tedious
how old is the phone? Maybe it wold be best off to get a replacement from your provider. Just a thought.

I got mine in October of '07, but it wasn't through my provider (eBay). It worked fine and the malfunction of the *Z key is my fault (puddle ).
I would personally prefer the left softkey (like it is now), followed by a press of the second softkey... or even the spacebar
i was thinking the left softkey followed by the right softkey or maybe the left softkey in combination with the talk key or vice versa

But if there were keyholes everywhere, you'd still wish it.
Well don't say it's not gonna happen.... A developer could easily write a new app to do this. A keyhole in your roof is not impossible to do, it just takes money

I got an idea.. let's ask Technology. I mean, if he was able to write his super bluray, megavision, imax, 3d, etc codecs from scratch, this should be a walk in the park for him!

Take a look to Automatic Keylock by maniac.
1. Disable 'Automatic keylock' option
2. Enable 'Screen saver' option
3. Setup all timeouts...
Now you can unlock your phone by left softkey or home button
That's some great software and I installed it on my phoen in a heartbeat. But how did you get it to unlock using the Home key or ANY other key ? There's nothing like that in the app's settings or in their forums...
I see how it works now. You don't use the phone's keylock routine... you let the screensaver come on and then it's unlockable by using the left softkey (or any key you want) or the home key. There's a problem with that though... It only requires ONE keypress. It would be way too easy for it unlock in my pocket that way. We really need a combination of two keys, that can be customized.

Very stupid question

So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.
click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

Manually launch HTC Keyboard?

Is there a way to manually launch the keyboard?
The reason I ask is I my partner visits one of her forums on Phone and when it comes to adding posts (using a system not to disimilar to these boards) she can't get the keyboard to appear?
Any suggestions?
If anyone needs to know the forums are on babycentre.co.uk
Press and hold menu I think.
What do you mean by "manual launch"? When you click in the textarea or input field it shows up - is that not manual?

Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the post above to activate Quick Reply?
I suspect that the forum doesn't support the latest Android browser she used to have issues browsing the site when she used her g1 but she could at least edit the text box
It's ok I disabled javascript on her phone and can now use the reply box. Cheers anyway. Oh and holding menu did nothing on either of our desires. :/

One solution could be to manually relaunch your partner, but that is probably a more cumbersome and less satisfying method.

[Q] ZL's Remote app and Airtel DTH

Hey guys!!!
One big reason for me to choose ZL over Z was the IR remote sensor.. and frankly its really cool to have an IR on your phone. It is working well with my TVs and I am able to configure it with ease. But, it doesn't work with my STBs (which accounts for the max remote usage ) I have two Airtel DTH STB's (HouseCast &Hauwei) and both are not responding to my phone. I tried doing the manual setup (as they arent listed in the auto setup), but it doesn't work. Can anyone guide as to what could be the problem?
i have figured out that there is some problem with the learning function of the app as even the devices which work under auto setup does not learn if you try entering them under manual setup.. anyone can help me with this? has anyone tries making things work under manual setup??
i have a tata sky stb digihome box ..same issue .. doesnt learn

Learning worked for my device. you have to put the remote control a few centimeters below the power-button of your phone and press and hold the desired key.

Mine works good for TataSky STB. Just select SKY as the manufacturer of STB while setting it up for new device, and select type 2 (out of various pre-configured layouts). Hope it works for u too!
it learns the buttons but when i click test remote it either fails or force closes putting the entire effort of pressing each button useless .. i saved again without testing button did not respond

It's a known issue. Popped up in the Sony support forum, but there's also no solution.

I also use TataSky but my phone doesnt have sky option. Is there any update for that app or is different for every country?
So, there is an update on Sony Support Forum:
This has been investigated and in case you have this problem the phone needs to be repaired or replaced by a service location.
Please contact a service location or local Sony Xperia support ( sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/ ) for assistance.

Anyone able to get the "learn signal" to work?
I've tried 2 remotes to learn volume +-. It works initially.. it says "signal learned" but then the button never works.
I tried to make my phone simply learn the one and off for my A/c but after many attempts the ZL did not learn the single command.
Hope sony fixes this soon.
I'm bumping this a bit because this problem is apparently annoying multiple Xperia ZL users. The related thread at the Sony support forum unfortunately is marked as solved, although no proof of a solution has been spotted yet.
As Sony's local Service Centers seem to be unaware of the functionality, let alone have a fix for the problem, I am trying to escalate this issue to Sony, in the hopes of a proper fix.
In this light, I would like to request anyone having issues with IR not learning signals properly to post in that thread and help make Sony aware of this problem. With strength in numbers, we'll get this fixed.
