Im not sure ifbitbis the button or not. Is there a way to simulate hardware button pushes?

Is it possible to use PTT button instead of Power button

I hate the way power button is positioned on Hermes. I have trouble finding it plus each time I try to use it I accidentally slide keyboard open.
Is there any way to use PTT button as power button instead? I might be able to figure out how to use it to power unit down but is it possible to use it to power unit up while other buttons will still be locked?
Making PTT shut 'er down or suspend it is really easy, but I've never seen a way to make it power on with any button besides power.

[Q] Is it possible to use Vol-Down button for Power on/off?

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...

Volume button stuck pressing down, help

The problem is basically the down volume button broke so I replaced the entire volume piece, but I have the problem where the down button is constantly being pressed even when no actual physical button is present, so my phone is constantly lowering its volume when I am on the phone etc.
Is there any way to fix this?
If not is there any way for me to completely destroy the audio button to at least stop it adjusting itself!
If you replace that part did you place that volume plastic button right way. If it wrong way it may push switch down all time. Or maybe hardware failure in switch?
Or replace another one. Maybe that plastic vol button is pressing the switch all time. Try take off that plastic vol button part and then what happend? You can press buttons by your nails or something.
Yeh the problem is though even with no button it still keeps lowering the volume as if the button is being pressed so I don't know what the problem is, I'd gladly disable all volume control instead if thats possible.
if its the mainboard thats faulty that's an expensive part to replace :\

[Q] any app to make hardware buttons (volume) to control touch at a certain point?

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:

Getting into recovery Mode no power button (resolved. Answer inside)

Hello,
I want to upgrade my unit from Android 6 to 8 but I have never been able to get into recovery mode with the buttons on my unit. I do have a reset, and I do have physical buttons, but I can hold the reset button and the lights never flash. I also dont have a power button, instead the knob, which I push it down is a mute mode. ive tried using the method between the reset key and mute knob with no success, I've also tried holding the reset key for 15 sec, 30 sec, 1 min. The lights never flash.
I tried the keyboard method, but it doesnt appear my keyboard is responsive until android begins to boot, the numlock key doesnt respond.
The keys on my unit are as follows:
Navi, Band, Menu, Mode, Knob for Volume, that knob pushes down to mute. The other side I have eject, track forward, track reverse, play/pause and a knob for tuning the radio/dimming lights.
Can I modify the mcu to change what the buttons do? Please help!
halp!
no one?
YES!!! I figured it out!!
I went into key study, changed the push button for the left volume knob from mute to power button. Then its just normal procedure. Hold down the new power button until it turns off. push it again for it to turn on and hold it down to go into recovery.
Hopefully this helps someone in the future
