Well, I'm searching around and I give up, time to ask the "Pros".
I have a 8125 and the only thing I dont like or cant fix, HOW do I turn off the align screen HOTKEY. When i'm playing a game and using the "control pad" (the outside pad with the button in the middle) I will be getting heavy hitting buttons and soon as I hit the "Message" key with that Center button...
BOOM!!!! "Align Screen" comes up and I have to align the screen and continue the game. As for remapping the buttons in the game, I could do this but prefer the 2 i'm using.
Anyone who can give me a quick fix for this...You got me beat.
Thanks for the read, and thanks for this great site.

P.S. I'm using Faria's Rom Crossbow reloaded 1.5 by Mfrazz.
Could be a BUG in the ROM or even in the GAME PROGRAMMING.
I use the D pad all the time to play games but never got the ALIGN SCREEN ... !
Does it happen only in a particular game or in general?
no it can be done anytime
if you hold down the d pad center button and hit the outside corner key with the envelope mail logo...you will pull up the align screen. its a hotkey setup..no bug I just want to remap this or get rid of it all together.
stil nothin?
bah was hoping someone would have an answer for this....still trying to find out how. anyone?

While playing the most excellent "1942", I discovered that simultaneously pressing the D-pad in and the top right button (calender) launches the "Align Screen" app. Does anyone know how to unmap this keypress combo from the Align Screen thingummy. It makes arcade gaming quite frustrating - every time I get to a tricky bit, and start pressing keys wildly, the game is interrupted.
There are other threads about disabling the screen alignment process altogether (e.g. on startup). I DON'T want to do that! Just remove the shortcut.
I have the same problem, any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks
i also want to do that and would appreciate help.
Unfortunately I could not replicate your problem,is this happening only while you are playing the game or into Today screen too?
What OS are you using?
Actually I am using Wm5 and this 'bug' is not present.
what WM5 device are you using?

Hi I have the same problem
My phone SPecs Are:
HTC Diamond
WM6.1
Stock Std Roms
when i push the volume key and action at the same time it launches the align app very frustrating. Also is there any to map the home in GBA ? or any other program i have DredSensor but i dont know how to get it to work
Any help PLEASE!!
hello guys,
on my HTC Wizard if you press the center key of the d-pad (joystick) along with the Message key (Calendar key in different PocketPCs), it takes you directly to the Align Screen page, where you have to align your screen.
when using MorphGear, i like to hold my Wizard in landscape mode and use the d-pad with my left hand and use the Message button as 'A' and Explorer button as 'B', So during my gameplay i'm accidentally opening the 'Align Screen' page, which i cannot bypass except after going through the alignment process.
it's a pain, and it's ruining my gameplay experience.
i searched around and couldn't find a quick solution to the problem, that's why i posted here hoping that a hacker will help me.
thanks,
This is old, but wondering about the same thing. at least I searched
When I push the "message" + "ok/close" buttons at the same time. It will align my Wizard Pocket PC sceen (It thing it is a default short cut or something) I want to disable this align screen shortcut. Is there a way for me to disable this align screen short cut? I don't want it in my wizard. Thank you very much.
:wink:
Try changing button assignments in settings\buttons - my message button is changed to media player and i cant get the align screen to appear

I did that but it is still not disable the short cut in my device.
Any more help?
Last time I checked I think it was Message button and action button. I dotn think this is something u can change. It is a hardware safety feature in case someone where to totally screw up ur alignment, you wont have to hard reset to get it working again.
Cause once the screen alignment is messed up there is no way to get to the alignment app. (without that hardware shortcut)
Later; Lew
P.S. Someone asked about this before, I cant remember what the final verdicted was thoe, search the board.
Thank but Can I change the short cut to somethings else?
Also What is the name of old topic so I can search (I did before making this post but could not fin it)
Thank you guy very much for great help!!!
is there a way to disable the oddly placed send key that sits between the "R" and "T" keys? my big ol thumbs go crusing on emails and I end up sending emails before I am done. thanks for any feedback
i do the SAME thing- and i don't even have fat fingers...
I do that **** all the time. haha. and I have fat fingers.
I hear ya! anyone know how to change that?
does anyone use these buttons? seems easier to just touch the screen.. of course my dumb luck I would want to press the button and hit the "R" buttton instead. im glad to hear its not just me.
Happens to me too. I searched the registry for "send" but nothing interesting came up.
lol, done that a few times myself...getting a reply reading "wtf???" before you finish, and re-send is what...(shoutout to all famliy guy fans) "grinds my gears"
off the top of my head you could try AE Software's AEKMap which allows you to reassign buttons from the hardware keyboard.....but by doing so you might disable the two softkeys altogether. You can even figure out what registry entries are edited from changing the hardware keys by using a registry editing app that you control from your pc-scan before and after. I'm too lazy to try it out, maybe someone else could see if this is a possible solution *nudge* tadevinney *nudge*
Virtual keymapping would disable the soft keys all together, so that wouldn't work.
*bump*
This is the only major annoyance I have with my wing that still does not have an acceptable solution. My fingers are quite tiny and I still hit that damn softkey instead of the T half the time. There's another thread about this and they suggested typing the message before typing the recipient but this does not work for me as I'm almost always replying to a message instead of starting a new one. Surely one of you geniuses on this wonderful forum will figure some way to fix this.... PRETTY PLEASE!?
unfortunately, the function appears to be hard coded into the sms program, so there's no way of fixing it, unless whoever makes that software recodes it.
What about disabling it for all programs? I mean I never use it for anything. It's just as easy for me to lift my thumb a few centimeters and tap the on-screen soft key instead. Personally, I'd rather do that and not have to worry about hitting it accidently. And I'm hoping, since you were able to remap keys from herald to wing, that it should be possible to remap just that one to do nothing. Of course I don't really know what I'm talking about.
I can look into it... well, the virtual keymapping I did universally affects that key on the phone ... so I don't know how it will affect the phone ... but I can mess with it and see what I can come up with. I don't know if I would be able to disable it, but maybe I can remap it to something other than "send"
I'll see if I can look into it whenever I have some time.
EDIT: Well i finally found it:

works on trinity! thanks vijay555!! i use vjtoggletoday on every boot now i add another super useful file by you many thanks!!
every time i press the voice speed dial button and the record button simultaneously it sends me to the screen alignment tool.
is there a way maybe a registry change to not send me to that screen when i press those buttons?
even in games and apps where i have the keys remapped to those two keys as soon as i accidentally press them together it makes me realign the screen its frustrating. TiA!
well after more messing around i realize it is the action button and the voice speed dial buttons pressed together to launch screen alignment.
like i said it is horrible feature it interrupts everything i try to do. please someone help me disable this. anyone?
