Is there any way of assigning Speed Dial (not Voice Speed Dial) to a hardware button?
Why do I want to do this? I'd like to be able to press a button which would bring up the Speed Dial list. I would then use the jog wheel to scroll through the list and scroll-click to dial that number.
With the phone application open to the keypad press the d-pad left and it brings up the speed dial list.[ Power>Green Phone>Left D-Pad ]Three buttons but still pretty quick.
quicker: power->green phone->jog wheel DOWN (or UP for call history)
Hi all,
I've lost this shortcut (Green button->left D-PAD) and I don't know what happened. As I lost also the Smart dialing menu item. It happened to me once before I upgrade my ROM which returned that back. Now I lost it again and I am going crazy trying to know how this happened or which application I installed did that.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance

With an unaltered Ext_ROM, a hard reset should do the trick.
I don't know if I am missing something, but neither of the key sequences suggested (Power>Green Phone>Left D-Pad or power->green phone->jog wheel DOWN) do anything at all on my Hermes. I even tried a Soft Reset before trying these sequences and nothing happens.
I'm running the latest (South African) HTC ROM, as posted here, if that makes any difference.

Not sure what is happening there, because I have not used that ROM. Did you install all the cabs from the extended rom? If so, it may be that this was left out of the South African version for some reason. My TyTN is out for repair/replacement due to SA issues and I can't check it, but I think the latest TyTN ROM functioned this way. My 8525 with latest Cingular ROM certainly does.

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.

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.

Hi All,
I have a strange problem, tried to search the forum,
without success...
Sometimes the OK button doesn't response (both OK buttons...),
only clicking OK on the screen works.
another issue - sometimes when clicking the action button nothing happens, or even worse - it acts like a long press even when I press it really shortly...
Any one else had such problems?
Is it (as I guess) a hardware problem?
I have the same problem and I dont think its the hardware cause the button is not presented in "buttonmapping" in the controlpanel. This has worked before. Please respond if you solve the problem.
Mine does it on occasion. Pretty sure it's software and It seems to happen with the same apps each time. Make note of what apps you have running when it happens.
Just started doing it again but I realized that I have never had a prob with the OK or Start Menu buttons but rather the softkeys. In Today Agenda, the left key (edit) stopped working and then a few minutes later the right key (menu) stopped working. I closed all apps and the problem persisted with every appointment I opened. Soft reset fixed it.
I should also add that I am not using the latest version of Today Agenda because I have not figured out how to make it look like the version I am used to.
Might be related: a lot of games I have tried don't seem to support the softbuttons, phone buttons, or really much else besides the directional pad and center select button.
Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I have enjoyed my 8125 and when I upgraded to the 8525, I ritualistically came here for all the answers. However, there is one issue that I have experienced that is not echoed by anyone else.
I have ROM version 1.34.502.1 and have the following apps installed:
Eten Dialer
Phonealarm
PQzII
TomTom 6 Navigator
TCPMP
Google Maps
Live Search
The problem is that when I freshly boot the phone and place a call, I can manipulate the in-call volume via the scroll wheel. Up, down, no problem. However, when I exit out of the dialer screen and return to it a few hour later, I find that I can no longer turn the in-call volume down via the scroll wheel--only up works.
If anyone can shed some light on this matter, I sure would appreciate it.
Thank you!
Anyone have any insights into this matter?

Not much help, but just an observation. The behaviour shown by your scroll volume is certainly not normal. I tested this out on mine. What I did notice was that there is some lag in the response of the scroll volume - so long in fact that it can appear to be non-responsive. It seems the device "remembers" the number of clicks up and keeps trying to raise the volume even though its at maximum. So even if I then scroll down it can take a few seconds for it to complete trying to raise the volume before it begins trying to respond to my down scroll. In fact this behaviour can make it appear as if when scrolling down it actually is raising the volume - but I think this is only due to laggy behaviour in my case?

I found that the E-Ten dialer disabled my scroll wheel short-cut to call history and quick dial. When I removed it these functions came back. Shame, I like the big buttons.
Mike
Thank you guys for your responses. It wasn't a huge annoyance for me. I just don't like it when functionality just evaporates away from my phone inexplicably. Hopefully, it can be resolved somehow? I will look for further responses.
Thank you all in advance.
It's the PQzII that disable the in-call volume adjustment. But my version is: "down" -> turn in-call volume down, "up" -> switch to today.

*) Jog wheel (Volume Down) bug fix while calling.
Please try it and let me know if you find any trouble.
cheers,
tom
*)Edit
if you use "0x76" as any function. It has been changed to "0xAA".
There are some Hermes devices as like DoCoMo hTcZ/Softbank X01HT have "MOJI" button.
The button outputs "0x76" but it could be a cause of Jog wheel problem while calling.
as for me, I used 0x76 key code for IME on/off. and changed to "0xAA".
if you don't use 0x76 you don't need to care about this.
cheers,

Problem :hardware keyboard down-right key (o) behaves as Commmanager button.
Firstly sorry if this has been asked/reported before but i didn't know the name of the hard keyboard button name to do a search.
The last few days I have this kind of strange problem:
The bottom left key in my Wizards hardware keyboard (circle button : O ) has this behaviour :
1. It does what is normal to do (like pressing shift)
2. Immidiatelly it behaves like the Comm Manager button (the upper right hardware key of the wizard).
The effect is that whenever I try to put a symbol (when I use the hard keyboard) I open the app that the Comm manger key is assinged to.
I have the WM5 faria ROM & AEKeyboard. I also don't think that smartkey or AEKeyboard are responsible for this.
I fear that this might be a hardware problem & also I don't want to do a Hard reset without a good reason..
Just posted here to see if someone can give me a clue.
Thanks in advance

I had a similar problem to yours, i have windows mobile 6 on my 8125/wizard, and for the longest time(since i bought it on ebay for its working parts), none of the hardware buttons did what they were supposed to(except the power button). End call button would make the pda open up the dialer and give a message in a notification bubble that said "waiting" followed by a sound and "that feature is not supported". The talk(green answer key) NEVER answered the phone, it opened a totally random program installed somewhere on the phone, whether it was internet explorer, the comm manager, outlook, calendar or contacts. So i relied on using the touchscreen buttons.
None of these problems went away until i got fed up with the thing and left it and its battery un-inserted for a week while i used my trusty unlocked nokia 6010 which i still love because it is phone and a very good one!
I put my battery back in my 8125, fired her up and after charging her i put my sim card back in, and went to answer a call using the "talk" button without even realizing it actually did what it was supposed to do. I hung up using the end call hardware button, then used the talk button to call the person i was talking to earlier! It was like it was never misbehaving at all!! Crazy devices...
It first started with the blue light blinking, even with the phone turned off. The only way to stop it from blinking was to remove the battery for about 10 seconds.
Then, everything I typed staarted to ddoublle letteers raandomlyy.
Now, it's acting like the down button is stuck. I can't do anything on the phone because its always scrolling down, beating out any other input.
I can live with the first two, but the third one has made the phone completely unusable. It's never been around water, never dropped, just randomly doing this crap. Any ideas on how to fix it? Hard reset does not work, new rom does not work, its a hardware issue.
Yes it is probably a hardware issue. Time for a phone swap
I'm actually out of warranty, so the only thing I can do it either switch to a different phone or try fixing this one. Have nothing to lose by opening it up, just wanted to see if anyone else has fixed it by cutting any wires or connections on the inside of the phone.

No phone insurance. Verizon completely screwed me on that phone purchase in more ways than one. By the time I figured that out it was to late.
TO bad I got mine added late. I just called the lady I bought the phone from and she added it.
Not sure about the blue-light.
I was able to fix my repeating-letters using the keyboard fix in this post:
For the constant-down input - it could either be the touchscreen digitizer or the hardware keyboard. YouTube has a series of videos on dismantling the Mogul - it may be worth some "exploratory surgery" to see what might be causing the problem (cookie crumbs, perhaps)...
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Htc mogul hardware button - issue
Dear XDA GURUS,
I am facing this very weird problem on my HTC MOGUL. All my Hardware button have stopped responding / Working. Please help me sort out this issue.
Waiting for your valued reply with solution.
Detail given on below link.
My HTC MOGUL HARDWARE Button Issue
Dear XDA GURUS,
yesterday i tried to do some RnD for this same problem. now the inputs. (Nothing technical)
* Even though my camera hardware button is not working, but, i can still enter the bootloader screen.
* Even though my both soft reset hardware button are not working, but, still i can do the hard reset.
This only means that, my buttons are working fine, but, according to my logic, they have lost there assignment.
After that i started searching web, if i can find a App / setting / hack / register setting, in which i can assign then there original key setting. So i found this on XDA forum as below.
Code:
[B]How to assign a shortcut to EndKey, SendKey, Power Button, PTT Button!![/B]
Hello
Since some of you guys asked about this , well there you go:
if you look inside the keyboard driver with a good disassembler (IDA Pro) you would see that you can create these link files :
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnk (Power button)
So basically all you need is to create these link files and put them in to windows folder. You can assign these keys to any shortcut you want .

ok now, certain things are clear. now anybody out there can help get this thing sorted out.
Waiting for concrete solution.
