Just wondering if anyone knows or can quickly create a little applet (not java!) that can quickly switch the radio functionality of the XDAII? The manual clicking of that aerial icon is a pain. I guess the aerial functionality is probably accessing some DLL or something? Maybe it'd be a quick job?
Switching Radio off
According to my manual you're sposed to be able to press and hold the red phone button - the manual says this can be used to toggle the phone off/on but that certainly isn't the case on my phone?
Anyone know why this isn't working properly?
Manual's wrong... from previous forum postings, this can be done on the original XDA but this for some really weird reason doesn't work on the XDAII. Hence a request to some Pocket PC coders out there who might be able to whip a quick utility up?
what is wrong with clicking the signal level icon, and selecting 'flight mode' ?
clicking signal icon
that takes two clicks - it's a lot easier to press and hold a h/w button
I'm serious
I solved this problem in a nice way using ButtonMax 1.01. Now I can, not only turn radio on/off by simply keeping pressed the up/down key on my xda's pad, but as buttomax supports macros definition I could even let it put my pin in the phone as I turn the radio back on!
Using it toghter with Alarm Today allowed me to solve the problem of scheduled on/off too. Both programs run in team and you can use buttomax macros at a scheduled time, setting them as an alarmtoday event. :wink:

Very good idea, indeed. Thanks.
It's possible to use the "Record" button instead?
I tried to use the “Record” button in the ButtonMax, but nothing appends?
If I use the down pad key, it work’s, why?
Can you help me? I really want to use the Record Button, that way, I can switch off the Radio(Phone) with the PDA inside the case in bell clip.
Thank's,

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any way that you can tweak the registry or install any application to enable the red button to close (or minimise) the phone dialer after completing the call (as you would do on a normal phone). It seems really silly to drag out the stylus to close (or minimise) the phone dialer after receiving a call.
Regards

Just assign record button to OK/Close function.
Red button problem
Well, I can't even get my red button to turn off the phone (although it says in the manual that it does this). Which means that I have to get out my stylus to turn the phone off if I, say, pop into the library. Even then the stylus click (2 clickes, as it brings up a menu first) doesn't always work, and when it does it is slow. I just want to pres a button , and IDEALLY WITHOUT HAVING TO OPEN THE CASE (but that's anotheer topic!). Has anyone else had this problem; do you know how to solve it?
@Cathy
Hi, Have you done a soft reset? Try .
Have you install new programs recently?

This is a known bug. It just doesn't work the way the manual describes. Currently, I know of no way around it, although I think everyone wants that feature back, so I guess HTC will fix it in a future ROM upgrade.

Does anyone know of a utility tha allows me to turn the phone on/off on the XDA2? something better than clicking on the tiny phone icon, and waiting 10 secs before it decides to show the popup? If there was something that allowed me to map hardware buttons, or even large software buttons on the today page would be good.
Does such a thing exist?
Lee.
How about keeping pressed red button for 5s? It doesn't work on XDAII?
Doesn't work on XDA2
Nope! I think that was a feature of the XDA1 that seemed to get missed out on the XDA2. I think it requires someone to write a utility to make this happen. Anyone know if one exists?

On my XV6600 I could change the reg key "flightmodeswitchbypnhendkey" then hold the phone end key to toggle the flight mode on and off. Is there a similar setup for the MDA?
Thanks
Not sure about your MDA.............
...............but on my XDA Mini S [HTC Wizard] WM5 and latest ROM - I just tap the phone signal icon to get a dialog box whixh includes a switch to Flight Mode..................
HTH

Right but...
For some reason my MDA requires calibration regularly. I think it gets messed up switching modes (landscape to portrait). This coupled with my fat fingers causes much stress when trying to simply turn the phone on and off.
Thanks
bind the attached file to a hardware buton and it switches flight-mode on and off.
VJVolublis will do this and some other stuff.

Thank You all...
Is there a way to make buttons dual action push and hold buttons? IE push and hold call end button to execute the "tel.on-off_197.exe" file?
Thanks again everyone for your help.
try a search for AEBPlus or go to http:\\ae.inc.ru for download. You can use it without registering to try or register if you are happy with it, like I am.
Thank you all very much!
Works great! I appreciate all of your help.
Hi folks
I'm back again with some more dumb questions (bear with me - I'm Irish).
On my old Nokia, I could lock the phone by pressing 2 keys and hey presto, phone now safe!
With the HD, things seem a bit complex. Firstly, there's power managenent that controls how long the back light stays on for and how long the phone stays on for before going into stand by.
Q1. Is standby not another form of locking ? If so why not just press th epower button whenever you want to lock the phone and be done with it ?
Then there is the built in locking software that comes with the app.
Q2. Whats the problem with this? (i.e. long pressing the end key and choosing 'Lock the device'; Why do we even need S2U2 ?
Then there's S2U2 itself. The settings page is long and complex.
Q3. Is there a S2U2 manual anywhere ? (to explain some of those ambiguous settings)
Finally, and here is my most important question...
Q4. Can I use my HD like I used to use my Noika - i.e. press a key or 2 to lock the goddam phone an just be done with it ?
As it is, when I want to use my phone, I have to press the power button to take it out of standby, and then I have to slide the S2U2 unlock switch. Its a lot of hassle just to make a phone call.
Is it me? Am I that stupid? What am I doing wrong ? What am I missing ?
Doesn't pressing the "End call" button for 2-3 seconds also lock the phone?
Regards!
I do understand what you're saying. I figured out something really basic just the other day, that is if your phone is locked or in sleep mode just pull out your stylus and it'll unlock and wake up.
Just 1 movement.
Sorry if this is really common knowledge and you already know this but sometimes we overlook the more basic functions on such a complex device!!
Cheers

Power button into standby is a fine lock for me. Nearly impossible to accidently knock the power button to turn it back on.

Yep i do this too.
Press the power button mate, and it will lock the phone
I like how the phone unlocks when you take the stylus out but i didnt like how it locks the phone when you put the stylus back in, so i removed that function using the options in gyrator
I have got TOUCH HD since 1week.
I haven't problem with touch hd like touch diamond.
it is in my pocket but the new phone canvas and the sensitive key prenve nt missing call.
for me no need s2u2 or pocket shield like diamond.

Standby locking
I also "lock" my phone by sending it to standby with the power button. This seems to work realy good for me. The only problem is that the HD wakes up if someone is calling. So i often answer a call by accident. Does anyone know a way to deactivate the automatic wake up?
I tried the registry hack with autolocking but this doesn't work for calls either.

Should the device lock when I put the stylus in? I get the impression from this thread that it should but mine doesn't?
Is there any shortcut for enabling or disabling bluetooth with just one click or button?
I am thinking of buying hands-free car set and I do not want to go to connection manager each time I get in or out of the car. Having bluetooth always on will drain too much battery...
Is there a way to change what longpress of hadrware button does, for example the buttons for answering and ignoring button?
I only use screen and power button, so making shortcut on other buttons would be great.
Thanks for answeres
Why not make a quick link short cut to the comm manager on your home screen?

Because after pressing DONE it doesnt close itself and you need to go to taskmanager and close it manally which becomes annoying when you have to do it few times
Man I wish I could help you out more but I don't use Bluetooth with a handsgree car kit so no experience to fall back on. I am thinking it is either a built in thing in the Windows Mobile that can allow auto detect of a car kit and auto disconnect, I think I remember reading you had to turn the Bluetooth off manually with it to though. I also think there is a couple of apps out there that might help you out. Maybe someone else can jump in and help you with this, sorry again man.

So why not? Make a desktop shortcut to BT switch, it's easy, just 4 taps in WinMobile.
