Yeah on my Wizard when i hold the on/off button i get a question if i want to shutdown the device. How can i shutdown the universal like that? Tried vijay555's app to bind 223 so it shutdown but it just black the screen for, then i can push on/off button again and the device is on. On the wizard the wizard i c qtek bootup picture etc etc,...
Tried PsShutXP to and its the same there :/
I think, as far as we know, that feature is not standard in the Universal. It needs to be built in by HTC's drivers. If anyone has any new info on this, I'd be interested... Similar feature is available on some Axims, but I don't think any other HTCs...

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,

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?

this progm here on the screenshots seem to have a bigger off button option
or maybe this have some option
http://zendrui.free.fr/FullVersion.htm
maybe you can find a way to map the green and red phone button to the two soft keys we now have a the button of the screen,
i always push those buttons, it makes me think i'm using a phone,
forgetting it's a touch screen
recall somebody saying that those 2 buttons was hardwired to the gsm part of the phone and that CE had no control over them
but i guess he could have been wrong since they are locked by button lock
but then if the phone does ring they can make you pick up the phone without typing in your password
Red and green buttons are not hardwired to GSM module.
They are usual hardware buttons processec by system in a specific way.
While working on AEKMap I was able to unbind these buttons from WinCE. And I think that may write simple app to "unbind" them. But what the reason for this application?
1. not all of the programs will detect this key because it is out of "conventional" range
2. How you will answer phone calls without green button?
Hi AE,
Is there any way that you could release the source showing how your unmapped the phone buttons, or at least give us a few hints?
It really is an art that you have mastered, something that very few people have been able to do (outdside of the OS development labs, and we never see those results)!
There are nothing special in this application.
Just calls to
UnregisterHotKey(), UnregisterFunc1 and RegisterHotKey() - if you just need hint The only hint is UnregisterFunc1 - but it is also described in number of places (just ask Google) Hope, this will work in WM2005 also.
I suggest to do it another way. Today I "downgrade" my BlueAngel to Andes And now I should count my HW buttons again :shock: Lets wait some days - and probably I'll make some solution specially for Himalaya/Andes, taking into account your "red/green wishes" At least it will work on WM2003, but I see no problems for Magneto also.
I will post report in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=115430
P.S.: Please try to run program attached here to check if it hooks red and green buttons and let me know the results. You will need to soft-reset your device to restore normal HW buttons functionality
Unhooking the red and green buttons would definitely be useful for us with a Magician, since it has very few hardware buttons. You could still answer a phone call by clicking Answer when the dialog appears.

Welcome to http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21339
Just got a 6828 and found that the phone is behaving as if the option "Do not lock buttons" is enabled. Unfortunately, the phone does not provide any mean to disable it (I always put the phone into my pocket so I prefer locking all keys besides the power button so that they won't be accidentally pressed).
Does anyone know if there is any Registry key to control such behaviour?
Thanks!
Have you tried the device lock plugin in the new WM5 roms?
V
Yes. The problem with that is 1) I need to do these everytime: lock the device -> power off -> power on -> unlock the device; and 2) the unlocking requires the use of stylus.
I got XDA Atom and Dopod 818pro before and both of them behaved the same way as I want. Wonder why HP wanna do this differently... :roll:
I use my VJDeviceLock on the Mio a701 to lock the phone and then switch off at the same time. When I switch on, buttons are locked already, which is good because the phone likes to switch itself on.
I don't recommend using my app, Matt's version is better.
However, unlocking does require screen contact, yes, but I use my thumb+screen protector.
Hardware key unlocking apps are available (I think 1-pass does one).

For the case of rw6828, it means that I need to open the flip cover as well.
Well, there should be quite a few applications that I can choose to achieve what I want. Just wonder if I could do it in a simpler way as I believe such function should be a built-in one... :roll:
I get what you mean now!
Didn't realise about the screenlock.
If you get really stuck, I've noticed that the "lock device" plugin doesn't lock keys defined with AE button plus (at least for me). So theoretically you could assign a mortscript to that hardware key, so that even when the device is locked, you can still unlock it with a hardware key, not stylus.
V
Thank you for your advice
Hei
Have you trayed MortSaver-2.0.zip
Its works for me
Indian
Yes, I probably will give it a try, if there is no easy way to fix the problem.
Before that, I think I will try to dump the whole Registry of the device and then do some inspection myself...
Hello,
Since I have my brand new HTC Touch HD, I do have some problems to power it on. I find the power on button not that well placed and very difficult to hit.
Powering off the PDA is rather simple without using that button, for instance like the GSEN power off option.
But I'm wondering whether a similar functionality based onto the G-sensor could also be implemented for powering on/wake-up the device ?
Any idea ?
I tried to write such an App on Diamond... but it was consuming too much battery....
There is such a thing. If I understand it correctly, it's called VueFlow or ViewFlo. Something like that. I got it off XDA, but can't seem to get it to work correctly on my HD. Gyrator2 works similar, but wont wake the phone up. Also, look for Shake2Wake. Hope this helps.
Any progress on this one - did you find the tool?

"for powering on/wake-up the device ? " simply get out the stylus...
Mobile magic has some settings to suit. I have mine to go off face down and come back when vertical. It can also be set for stick out and in.

I'll try it, thank you
