Has anyone remapped the answer button?

I have been searching all the forums for an answer with no luck so I am just going to ask...
I want to be able to activate MS Voice Command from the answer button on my wired headset (JAM). I guess that means that the answer button has to be remapped? Is there a program that can do this or do I have to fiddle with the registry? Sorry if the question has already been asked, I couldn't find it.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

hehe, I would like to do that exact thing too....let me know if you find something out.!

The Mobidila.net 2.02 has the ability to assign the answer button to Mobidial...maybe U can look what it change in the registry files...and so U can find out how to change it... :roll:

Primoz

Thanks for the advice, I will have a look at mobidial. I was hoping to find a program that allows remapping of the answer button just like so many other programs remap buttons 1-5. Idealy a short button press for answer and a long button press for MS Voice Command. My Sony P800 worked that way, which was a nice system. I have been looking around on other forums and I'm surprised that most people are only interested in bluetooth headsets. Personally I prefer a nice sounding set of wired headphones for listening to my ogg files.

Matterhorn, have you found a way to map the headset button? I've alse been looking for ages for this.

Me too! Please post if you found a solution!
Cheers

I think Vito buttonmapper might work.
I can't test it as I'm still waiting for my MDA compct.

Hi All,
I just tried Vito Buttonmapper. Unfortunatly the remapping is limited to the standard 4 buttons you can choose in \settings\buttons.
This doesn't solve the voicecommand-headsetcontrol problem.
I hope someone can tell me otherwise, or come up with a solution, 'cause the voice command control with my headset is the only thing I'm missing.
Thanx for all the information in the forum!
cheers,

HI All,
I just installed MS Voice Command 1.5 on my new Jam and I can't even get the AGC Microphone to stay on "enable" after I select it. Further, in Power Buttons options, I can't find the Voice Command option to assign to a button. What I did was copied the voicecmd file to the Windows\Start Menu so it would appear as one of the options in "Power Buttons"
I can't figure out why it won't keep the settings. After selecting it, I go back only to see the button is back to the default assignment. Please help. I got MS voice Command to work as long as I click on the shortcut I created. I need to be able to map it to a button. Thanks.

Hi Gybanez,
I can't help you with to the point advice, I'd just tell what I did and it worked for my. Hope it'll work for you aswell.
I installed Voice Command 1.5 from my computer. After a soft reset, I could choose Voice Command in Settings/personal/buttons.
I asigned it to the record button, 'cause untill now, I haven't used it. Works really well,
it just doesn't work wirh my headset...
The ACG microphone stays on disable! (Well, the microsoft manuel told me so...)
cheers,
Karolinger

thanks karolinger. I did it again and finall it works. The ACG Mic is disabled but it does work so I won't complain. I still have Blue Angel and I did install MS Voice Command 1.5 and didn't have any issues with it. Also, ACG setting stays on "enable" Thanks for the advice.

Hi gybanez,
Glad I could help you!
Maybe I stupid question... what does the ACG Mic? What chances when it's enabled?
cheers,
karolinger

Mapping keylock to a hardware button?

I haven't seen this question anywhere so i reckoned id ask..
I like to use my phone for listening to music but if you put it in your pocket id does all kinds of strange things - like opening PIE which starts a UMTS connection or it jumps to the next song..
I never use the videocall button on the phone, so why not map the built-in keylock to that one?
But does anyone know if this is possible/how to do it? can this simply be changed in the registry?
Thanks for any help.

I use vjay's device lock.
Get it here

Hi. thanks for the quick response.
Works like a charm =)
but now i need to map the exe to the videocall-button. any ideas?

I beleive that the Video call button is button 5 on the left side of your phone. I have an 8525 so that button is PTT. I think if you try load the PTT fix it may open that button up. I am not sure about this so it you try that you may need to do a hard reset to get back if it messes up your phone. So make sure you have a current backup to quickly restore from.

Where ca you find the PTT fix?

hi. thx. but that wont work. the PPT button is not the video call button. i could of course map it to another one.

I use a program called double launcher got it at handango. It allows you to assign up to 4 different programs to each HW button. I only use 3 per button but it's real nice. It's done by press, -- double press, -- press and hold, -- double press and hold.
Check it out I assigned the VJ device lock to double press on comm manager.

Volume bar shortcut

Hey all,
One off the pet hates i have about the hermes as compared to the wizard is the loss off the volume adjust on the left hand side.
I like the scroll wheel on the hermes but i hate that it doesn't automatically activate the volume bar, having to get out the stylus and tap the volume icon, or smudge up the screen trying to clumsily tap it with my thumb is annoying.
Is there anyway of making a press and hold of the wheel activate the volume? or anything along those lines?
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this pet hate.
Thanks in advance.

i would love this feature.. i miss it from my wizard

I have been trying to do this as well with key mapping software. However I cant find one that will open up the volume controls when I press a specific button. I am able to map presses to volume up/down but thats not what i want. Hopefully somebody else has a solution.

I know exactly what you guys mean.
@Knockz... have you tries this already with AE Button Plus? The new version better recognizes keys that the older versions could not.
I'll give it a try and see.

Think I may have the solution to your needs:
What I've done is use this portions of Wisbar (WisVol.exe) someone extracted from the full program.
Copied WisVol.exe to SD Card under programs
Made a Shortcut to: \Windows\Start Menu (with Resco Explorer)
Mapped my PTT Key to the new shortcut
Now I can access the volume with out using my stylus.
I use the PTT open the volume settings and the wheel to increase or decrease the volume.
Hope this helps....
Here is the file....

PTT Key?

Thanks Jac, I will have to give this a try. I should be able to map the exe directly to a key using aebutton plus. Hopefully this works.

PERFECT!!!! Just gave it a try. Linked my PTT key to the program using AEButtons Plus and now when I press it I can scroll my volume.
Thanks for the tim Jac. Somebody should build this into the next rom.

On ATT 8525 HTC Phones have a new function Push To Talk (PTT) Kinda like a walkie talkie function

ahhh, well i got it all as i need now, using that wisbar and AEButton plus. Thanks to all.

Hi all,
I wanted you all to know another cool feature, use AEButton to trigger the wisbar volume bubble from the following post (it does not adjust volume on first click and it has a smaller step for volume settings):

WisBar Volume CAB
I've been using Wisbar Volume for quite a while and it's been wonderful...
To give back a little here is a cab I've made for easy install and removal with a shortcut to start menu (sorry no graphics for the shortcut)

I've also been using for a while the Wisbar Volume control above...it works great!

Desactivating buttons

Hi GUys
I would like to know if there is a way to deactivate all the bottom buttons that are on the face of the x1.
Through the winMo settings I was able to deactivate both silver buttons, but I would now like to deactivate the rest of the button ( phone button/x panel button/ ok button/end call button )
Im prettu sure it can be done via the registry I think,
Anyways please let me know if you have any idea,
Thanks a lot in advance and Best Regards,

Turn off side buttons

Hi guys, I'm having troubles with one of the functions of the volume buttons on the side of the phone. When the phone is locked and someone rings me when I press either up or down I put the phone in silent - I want this thing off, it is pretty easy to accidently press it and miss a call - I did it a lot! Any help, please?

Take this one "AE Button Plus" : http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

Thanks, mate! Is this program confirmed to work on touch2? I've read somewhere that it can mess all of my buttons if it is not designed for my device or something like that.
EDIT: Okay it works, but is there any app or registry that can allow me to turn off only the function "Mute" when someone is ringing? This things shuts down the buttons completely and I don't have a volume control when I'm in the windows

It works on my Touch2 perfectly !
Just a hint, I have only disabled the "volume-up" button. If you press "volume-down" first, then "volume-up" works as usual !

hello,
I have a very similar problem (using Touch2, T-Mobile, German version), although in may case the Volume Up button seems to dismiss the call (the caller is rerouted to my mailbox).
What I want is: simply deactivate the Volume Up button when the device is locked.
I read much about AE Buttons Plus, however I also read much about this app using up battery, and I don't want that. I really ONLY need this single feature, so I don't want to use a bloated app which cooks coffee, washes my cloths and so on... you know what I mean.
Anyone knows how I could do that? Is there a reg key or a tiny app just for this?
Or can anyone at least tell me how I can use AE Buttons Plus without the battery draining?
cheers,
Saiba
