I thought this was an option in the settings, but I couldn't find it. I searched this forum, probably with the wrong keywords.
I miss being able to turn on/wake up my Wizard by pressing a button. I had it set that way before the recent T-Mobile ROM update.
Is it a registry entry?
Thanks,

A question for someone more technical than I:-
I've just installed the very useful Hitchhiker. What I want to do is remap the Comm Manager button above the volume slider so that, when I press it, instead of launching Comm Manager, it switches on Wi-Fi and launches Hitchhiker.
Does anybody have a tweak for this? Preferably a cab as reg fiddling is beyond me.
Thanks.
It will be easy to set button 5 to hitchhiker, just go to settings\buttons and it allows you to change button assignments there. To have wifi come on at the same time one possible way is to have button 4 do it - click wifi on, click (hold) hitchhiker on.
Use vjvolubilis to get one click wifi on see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46947
hope that helps
Hmm... I might try "click button 4 for wi-fi, then hold button 5 for hitchhiker" for a bit and see how it goes.
Thanks.
Remap Hold Button 5?
Are you able to change the hold funciton on Button #5, the Comm Manager button? I saw that you were talking about doing that, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
I tried adding another folder in the Registry that related to the Hold function to 5 but I'm not sure if I set it up correctly b/c it's not working--it still only has the switch between virbate and normal modes of sound.
Thanks for your help.
Quick and silly one, just not in the mood for reading the manual.
Which is the button 1 that can be modified in the start/settings/buttons screen?
It should only be editable the press and hold of this button, but not sure which one it is. tried them all, none seems to work.
LATER EDIT: it seems it is the button you may press on the stereo handsfree in the package. But even in this case, even if i changed default behaviour from voice dial to, lets say, comm manager, it i press it and keep it pressed, it still starts the voice dial. any clue?
EDIT2: Found it, its the Green Call button, the one used to answer calls. If you keep it pressed it can call any application you define in start/settings/buttons screen.
thx
volume down button
I tried it but it does not work
I tried it but it does not work ... I held the volume down button, nothing happend
you can also set it to perform a manual rotate too.
it does require a reghack along the lines of hklm\system\gdi\rotation iirc to enable that option in the 'button1' assignment menu.
also, if you change the 'landscape' dword from 4 to a 2, then it'll rotate 90deg rather than 270deg.
disclaimer: registry references are done off the top of my head; if the reg key isnt present then your in the wrong area i recall the definate answer is somewhere in these forums if you want definate info!
Hi!
I am wondering if there's a way to change the time until the poweroff.exe is run when pressing and holding the power-button. Haven't been able to find anything about this on google, only how to re-assign the utility that is executed in the end.
Anyone have any ideas? Hardcoded?
Good question. I asked 1 1/2 years ago if anyone knew how to disable that yes/no popup when you press the power button. I don't want it, I've never accidentally hit the power button for several seconds yet.
Interesting that you can change the entire shutdown program that is executed - that would solve my problem if I could find a good replacement. Do you have any good links on that?
Hi!
After reading a bit more on the subject I dont think that reassigning the exec'd app applies to Athenas... You can switch the file into some other "shutdown-app" though by switching \windows\poweroffwarning.exe.
Thats what I know so far. Google XDA for "long press change power" (without quotes) and you'll find a few posts on the matter.
Still no clue if its even possible to lower the time for the long keypress... :-(

yes i've just read your post and while i'm searching for the answer at moment i can tell you this much button assignments and time out periods are usually a function of the registry. so what you both were looking for is going to be a registry key. now whether it's a modify an existing key or create a key that it recognises is yet to be seen so either start researching the registry or keep eye's open as i'm still searching...
New: found this thread which i think is a better option then trying to modify the power buttons defualt timeout's and suggests that really if you have a diffrent power manager for shutting down etc.etc. that's better then use their binary

Hmm... Not really what I was looking for. I dont want to replace the PowerOffWarning.exe, I just want to shorten the time for it to start. I just mailed a friend of mine, works at MS. Will get back with the answer.

You might want to have a look at PowBut.
For instance here.
Haven't tried it myself though.
Thanks, will test it!
Hi,
I've searched for many hours to find the solution. But I couldn't found it.
I want to change my lock button from End key to power Button. Ik know I could use Slide To Unlock, but I prefer the HTC lock more.
Can someone tell me how to change this? So from End key to Power button just like S2U2?
thank you!

maybe you should search before opening a new thread. There is another thread with the exact same subject right below yours....

i allready read the tread before creating this. But what i'm asking for is, is there a way to 'replace' the end key for the power button (eg egistry edit or something).
