Ringer Vibrate switch

I wrote a small piece of code to switch between vibrate and sound on. I've created the cab installer. Just follow the instruction below to install it.
1. Just install the cab.
2. Map Button 5 (Press & Hold) to 'Vibra (Switch)'.
Whala... you just got a vibrate switch just like an HTC Wizard!
To start the program in delayed mode you need to apply the /d switch. However, I've created a shortcut for the delayed mode as Vibra (Switch) Delayed. Because of this, you're forced to install the program in the main memory as I don't know how to create a shortcut with parameters in the Cab installer. Anybody care to teach me how?
UPDATES
v1.32 : added switch '/d' to delay 1.0 second start up
v1.31 : Fix bug where flight mode toggle was toggled even when button has been release on silent mode. Also optimized button handling to detect button release during buzzing and in between.
v1.3 : Hold the button even longer (approx another 2 second), will toggle flight mode (while retaining current normal/vibrate/silent settings).
v1.2 : Hold the button longer (approx 1 second), will set the phone to silent mode. (This only works with App button 1-6)
v1.1 : Now run with '/q' parameter to switch mode without vibrating the phone.
EDIT:
There's no more update or any changes will be made to this program as I've lost the source code.

Works great!
Thank you!

Thanks, it works perfect here too. I added it to the wiki FAQs.

Alternatively you can use AEButton Plus and map your wheel button (#0086) long press to the shortcut you just made. To map this you probably need to focus on say Shift Key first by clicking on it once. Else your wheel button will press the cancel button when trying to map the key.
one problem though, if you map to #0086, the button still clicks when you hold the button down.
So, you might want to map it to stick to the Button 5 instead.

I made the vibrate to sound on a 200 ms vibrate though. Slightly different from HTC Wizard.

Great Woooork!
Now i also hacked "Profiles Swtich Application" from IDO and Eten,
If you interested in them,,,you can try.
I tested on my Himalaya WM5 and Vario II and work well.
<Auto answer function of IDO Profiles was missing> :lol:
How about thoes???

Interesting (and good!) work guys, will try both sometime in the very near future

Can anyone do this?
don't you think it would be awesome if there was a way you could push a button on the today screen that scrolled through these four settings,
Silent
Silent & Vibrate
Ring
Ring & Vibrate
And it showwed you on the today screen what setting your on. I don't mean just the ringtone though, I mean all notifications. So when your out you can have it on vibrate cos its in your pocket but when ur at home it don't wobble across the table and disturb everyone without u having to change the settings for each individual alert.
I've tried the ScenariosE program and the Profiles program and they are both half way there. I notice on both of em there is a show icon option? But where does it show the Icon as to what profile u are on. and why does it only change ur ringing tone, not your messages and notifications?
I feel that if we could get this perfect we could really be onto something. I know a fair few people with WM devices that could really benefit from it.
Is there anything that does this or does anyone know enough about the hardware to make something that does this?
EDIT
just noticed whereas profiles doesn't seem to work at all on my Vario II, have found that ScenriosE does only affect the vibrate settings for the atual ringtones and if you adjust volumes using ScenariosE it only affects the notifications volume. The slider for the ringtones does nothing??? Very strange

ipaq hwl69xx and 65xx has today plugin and what u want.
i am on the way to hack!

Just installed the vibra switch cab and assigned to button 3 (the comms. manager, at least on the Vario 2) - works beautifully. Love the much shorter vibrate when it goes off vibra to signify it's back on ringtones again... Nice touch.
The Comms Manager button seemed like the natural choice to me, as it has a little icon of a circle with waves coming out of it, so it fit the bill quite nicely. Anyways, my Comm. Manager is bound to my right softkey, so the button was redundant anyway

This is great !
i installed the Scenarios_WWE.cab on my i-mate JasJam and its work good

Sorry it seems not havaing Notifications,
Now i got hack it almost,,,including Tday Plugin.
But iPAQUti.dll which need to read device APIs are not mathc to
the Hermes.
Also tried HTCUTli.dll renamed to iPaqUtil.dll but not worked.
we must modify iPAQUtil.dll to match the Hermes, But no way now.
So i must give up....

Is there no way we can get round this? I'm dying to be able to turn off and on the vibrate function on my alerts? There must be someone out there that has seen something about this?

Or how about just a file that switches off power to the vibrator? Something that simple would be awesome, the phone doesn't know not to vibrate, it still trys but theres no power to the vibrator, n u can switch it on and off. Far short of modding the hardware and adding an extra switch somewhere (seems a bit ott) is there a way we can do it!

Is there a way of just stopping the vibrate motor?>?>

Can I set the phone to both ringer and vibration. I work in a factory enviroment and sometimes it's hard to hear the signal. Sorry if this has been answered before.

It is possible to obtain the icon of the program of red or black color?
The color gray is little visible.

Screen get locked even if call is in progress

Hello,
I am new to the Diamond 2. When the call is in progress the screen gets lock. I have got no option to tap the "END CALL" ono screen. I need to unlock the phonoe by pressing the power button and select/view the call progress .
And if the simple lock is enabled i need to enter lock to view the call status .
This is annoying. So How can I change setting to that if call is in progress the screen should NOT get lock.
PS: I have set the simple lock for my mobile. It gets lock even if the simple lock is not set.
Edit#1:
The screen also get locked when we are playing a movie too this is annoying. I think no one in this fourum has this issue or no one tried to resolve this.
Thanks.

Hi hi...I do face the same problem with you. I am looking for any kind soul out there for help on us to resolve such issue. Millions of thank!

No luck yet. Any senior member/developer who can help us or let me know if that is not possible

Close but not similar is my problem.
The TD2 is about 4 weeks old.
The screens turns black after about 10 seconds whatever settings I apply in the energy savings. WinMo keeps the settings, but does not apply them.
In contrast to the above posts I can end all calls by pressing the "end call button".
Any ideas?

True, we can end the call by pressing "End Call" button.
But can you view the call progress window? can you know how much time you spoke? Can you start another call / conf etc etc. This is tedious, which this phone is missing.
Today I send a query to India HTC tech Support. Lets see what they reply. or they will fix in WM 6.5 when it is released for TD2.

The screen also get locked when we are playing a movie too this is annoying. I think no one in this fourum has this issue or no one tried to resolve this.

if you don't want your phone to lock automatically, go to: all settings - system - power - advanced. There you care disable automatically turning off backlight and device. Hope this helps. It doesn't provide a solution for in-call, but for movies ... it's not very hard to go to this tab and disable it before viewing

Thanks for your reply georgeono. I am also waiting for reply from HTC Tech support. Let see what solution they are giving.

Volume Indicator takes over screen

I'm not sure how other Rhodiums are set up...but the Tilt2 has the rather annoying feature of 'full screen' pop up volume indicator always coming up when you press the volume buttons. But in a very select few programs just a sidebar pops up...almost like a mini version. Is there any registry setting to change to make the 'mini' one the default?

This cab works for me....

I actually prefer the full screen version, it is easy to use with the finger. Touching to the left or right of the volume indicator will remove the display and go back to your normal screen.

Does this make it smaller, or remove it? Reading it over, it seems that the latter is the case.

It removes it. I like it, the volume buttons are more responsive instead of take a second or 2 to actually change, and the full screen is annoying.

I was bored at work and decided to poke around the registry to see if I could figure this out. I think I'm on to something. When you go to: /HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/VolumeOverlay/InhouseEnable2ndUI there are a bunch of folders for apps on the phone. I went into Manila and set it to 2 and then went back to the home screen (I have Sense 2.5 active) and had a little volume bar at the top of the screen when I went to change the volume. I may try to add other apps and see if it works, but I'm lazy, so I might just go play some tower defense instead. Hope this helps get someone else a little more motivated to help. hehe

Setting this value to "1" will give you the slim vertical slider on the left of the screen, but this slider is not operable by touch on the screen, it is only a visual aid to let you know where your volume is at when you press the vol up and down hardware buttons.

using touch button lights for notification?

Hi I know there is an excellent app out which allows a little red square to appear on the screen when you get a notification.
I miss a notification led but was thinking could the lights for the touch buttonds be used instead, I was thinking used the menu button for email/text messages and the back button for missed calls as they kind of look like the right sort of symbols anyway, plus the screen wont need to be turned on at all ( the screen does produce some light when it is only a black background)
I will be taking tomorrow off work to attempt to learn android and possible make a simple live wallpaper but if anyone can point me in the right direction I may look at doing this also

Change slide for answer?

Im running MattC Leo Sense which uses a slide/lock for both the phone lock and to answer phone calls. I was able to change the phone lock slider from up/down to left/right but I want to do the same with answering phone calls.
What happens with incomming calls is someone calls me and I pull my phone straight up and out of my pocket. When I do this, the phone rejects the call because the phone rubs against my inside pocket and slids the answer/slide to reject phone call. If I could change the answer/slide from up/down to left/right then this wouldnt happen.
Does anyone have this issue and/or know of a fix?
Thanks

you can just set a screen lock on it and it doesnt show up until u unlock the screen lol.. thats wat i have or else it answers or ignores people in my pocket.. so with the connect the dot screen lock it just rings and shows u who it is until u unlock the screen...

Can you please tell me how you changed the unlocker from up/down to left/right. I would really appreciate.
Sent from my HD2

same problem here, i've tryed the lockscreen tactic. but i find that very annoying. I have no program skills but there must be some guy who can make a small apk that deletes the slider and replaces it with nothing =) so i can just use the hard buttons on my HD2...

Just to bring the issue up again im still having massive problems with calls being ignored or answered (depends on which way the phone is in my pocket)
Anyway have any idea, ive tried widget locker but that only seems to apply to lock screen and not phone call screen.

This issue had anoyed me for a while as well. I have tried widget locker and that works great for the phone lock, but as mentioned earlier in this thread - not for the incoming call locker.
If someone fixes this for the sense based ROMs, they will be my hero!

cyanogen mod ROM includes the "slide to answer" from lockscreen window similar to "widget locker" app. i just wish they would include the option to add widgets and shortcuts to the lockscreen like widgetlocker does

I have the exact same problem, and looking for a fix.

same problem here
people hung up on me because phone answered in my pocket and they would hear noise while I'm removing it from my pocket/case >.>
setting a lock screen is so annoying, now I remove my phone carefully so I don't answer by mistake.
[edit] I've searched around the net, and downloaded a few new lock screens. there's one called "simply lock screen" it has an option to disable the slide to answer, and it will be replaced by the normal answer buttons you get when the device is not sleeping. it might work, but there's still chance that the answer/dismiss buttons will be pressed when you remove the device from the pocket

same problem here... no one has a clue yet?

the problem is htc sense...to avoid this problem i have switched to stock android builds...

There are a couple of apps out there that can help, the best I have found is Easy Answer Button. It is a bit tempermental, but if you install it as your last app after a fresh flash, it tends to work better - at least imho.
Others are Advanced Telephone (also free) and EZAnswer which will cost you a couple of bucks. (The link is to the 2 day trial).

Why don't you just delete htclockscreen.apk from system/app.
It will change sense up and down answer to left, right standard android lockscreen.
Use root explorer or the like and reboot afterwards to see changes.
