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

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!
Hi.
HTC Blue Angel won't go to standby (sleep) mode when i press the power button.
Here's what i've tried alredy:
- soft reset
- hard reset
- reformat
- reflash
The power button electricaly is working since i can wake the device and toggle backlight with it. The sleep mode is operational since the device automaticaly timeouts to the sleep mode (power management).
Now the most intriguing part: this has happen to TWO of my Blue Angels at the SAME TIME. One with WM2003 and the other with WM6.
The WM6 was my primary unit while the WM2003 was just lying in the drawer.
When the WM6 unit gone mad i took out the MW2003 one just to find out it has the same problem. While i did instaled some software on the MW6 one i haven't installed anything on the MW2003.
Any help apriciated. Thanks in advance.

when you say sleep mode you mean the screen goes to blank and the backlight turns off...right?
try pushing the button longer

Yes, the mode where PDA is turned off (apps are hibernated) but GSM radio is still on standing by for incoming calls/messages.

That's pointless. This device has backligh turned on/off that way, not the OS. When everything was ok, a short push was enought to trigger the "standby" function. (once again i remind that the button is electricaly ok)
Thanks for reply, waiting for ideas,
Bushman
MINE TOO
that happens to me too andthe keyboard smtyms hangs until you press the windows button
I have pressed each and every key on the device multiple times, nothing helps
I had the same problem.
The reason was one of the keys beside the display.
In older PPCs these buttons tend to get short-circuited.
My solution was to reassemble the BA and clean the buttons.
Thank you for the tip, i will clean the buttons and check connections to the mainboard and post results.
Thumbs up!
Bushman
EDIT:
Thanks for the tip!!! One is fixed. The other one still doesn't work like it should but now i have a clue where to search for it.

Ihad to pimp my BA and it happends to mee
And the button record remains pusshed ll the time
it can let the power off works
I just
break the button
and voila! it works again...!
good luck.
When my phone is locked (screen turned off), the volume rocker and camera buttons don't work. With my Samsung Focus, I could use both while the screen was completely locked. Is anyone else experiencing this?
For camera button, there is a setting (in Settings->Camera) to turn it on or off while sleep/locked.
My camera button doesn't wake the phone if I force sleep while in an app, such as the xda app. If I force sleep from the home screen, I'm alright. If I leave the app in the background, it works OK. However, like some others have stated, in order for the camera to wake the phone, you have to make sure you're not spending time on the intermediate position of the button, it has to be pressed all the way down quickly. If you take too long to do it, the camera will not wake the phone.
At least, this is how it is behaving for me.
Setting's correctly set, and I have been pushing it down all the way and holding it... Sometimes it does work, but there doesn't seem to be a pattern. Maybe my device is defective.
Anyone able to adjust the volume settings with the screen off?
Same with my camera button. After update, it's about 85% accurate. Before, it was 25%.
Volume does not work when off.
PS: Samsung Focus 1st gen doesn't allow Volume when screen is off, unless you applied some hack or custom ROM that did that. I just turned mine back on and tested to be sure.
I think what you remember is that when the Lock Screen was active, you could use the Volume Rockers, and that still works on the Lumia.
Huh, maybe I was just remembering wrong...I'll have to test it when I get home tonight...
Hi,
I can confirm operations as described above. With the phone locked, the volume rockers do nothing. You have to press the standby/lock button in order to get the screen to come on, and then you can use the volume rockers.
I have not tested this with my HTC HD7 on TMO, but will and get back to you.
As far as the camera button waking up a locked Lumia 900, you have to press and hold the camera button for a second and then press it again in order to get the camera app to load if the screen is locked. This won't work if the option under "Settings --> Applications --> pictures+camera--> Press and hold camera button to wake up the phone" is set to off.
Again, it isn't a simple tap, you have to hold it down for a second, and then press it again a second time for another second or two and the camera will turn on.
You'll see a little pad lock in the lower left if you have the phone horizontal and in the upper left if you have it vertical.
I don't know if this is how all the Lumias work, but it is how I can get the camera app to work when the phone is locked.
TB
This, among other detrimental things, have just started happening on my 900 today. It worked fine for the last 5 weeks & now it's become pretty much ****. Would rather trade it in for a Titan II than do an unreliable hard reset.

While locked and screen off my volume rocker and camera buttons do work, same as my HD7.

An unreliable hard reset?? You had me there until you mentioned an HTC device. Reliable does not include the letters H-T-C.
Well said. Sure wish I could quote again. Come on Board Express. Fix what you broke damnit.

Same here (except the HD7 part, of course). I do find I have to press the volume rocker once, then hold it down in order to change volume, which strikes me as being by design to avoid accidental presses.
Concur with lowlymarine... 2nd press needed on the lumia 900. 2nd press not needed the HD7... slight nusiance, like a dialog box popping up asking 'are you sure?'
Hi! first of all, sorry for my english.
I own a Lumia 930 and I've got the power button bricked. Does anyone know how to turn the camera button into a power button by changing registry? It is possible?
Thanks
Sadly no. I changed it once and after rebooting, it changed to the default value
Nope. Only advice I can offer is using glance to turn the screen on (Tap twice to wake screen), and setting a 1 minute time out to lock(
I've got a new (to me) AT&T Note 4 and only after getting it did I realize I couldn't root it because.....AT&T.... Anyways, it's on MM 6.0.1 now and I'm having a massively irritating issue that I can't find anywhere else online for reference. After roughly 15-30 minutes after I restart the phone, 3 things happen simultaneously.
1: Screen rotation stops working (except when I get a notification for textra from the pulldown menu and reply, then in that reply state, I can turn the phone and it will successfully rotate). I've checked the sensors and they're fine and working properly. I can use the rotate app to force rotation successfully and it doesn't matter if I have the rotation icon on or off, it will not auto rotate which makes nav apps a pain in the butt to have to keep restarting the phone for only a few minutes of working.
2: Home button stops working to go home. The physical button still works if I long press then google app comes up, but short press does nothing.
3: Menu button stops working completely, no response at all short or long press.
If anyone has a reference to point me towards or an idea of what's happening, I would love to figure this out so I don't want to throw my phone out the window after only a week. Thank you!
