When I go in Settings>Buttons, there is a mappable button but I can't find what button it is
There's Button 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. They all work but what is the other button left?
Note: The video calls are disabled, so the video call button brings me to the phone menu.
It would be helpful to know specifically what phone you have. On my Hermes 100 model Cingular 8525 the only other button is 'Button 5 (Press & Hold)' which is pretty self explanatory. A quick glance at your owner's manual should also explain any particular button options avail on your phone.

I wonder if there is any utility somewhere or trick on the Qtek to get it so you don't have to hold down the record button during the course of recording - I want to be able to press the button once, do my recording, press it again to stop.
Another frustration is w/ the camera button. It seems you have to turn on the Qtek first, and THEN the camera button will work. This makes for great inconvenience if you just want to pick it up and take a quick photo.
Somebody referred me to a Japanese program called BtnPlus but I can't get an installer for the relevant processor. Are there any other button reprogramming programs out there?
On my T-Mobile MDA I have 5 buttons, and button 4 has a press and hold feature. On my Sprint 6700 I have 5 buttons, 3 is on;y press and hold and 4 has both. How can I add press and hold to my t mobile? I am tired of starting the camera all of the time. Is there a way to add both functions to all 5 buttons and have them listed in the settings/buttons list?
I've installed smartskey that give press and hold to the two soft keys, so it must be possible, only problem you might have is remembering what all the buttons do!
Currently, I can only power on my phone via the power button, but at some point I had something installed (or tweaked some registry setting or something so that I could also press the green/phone button and that would also wake it up. All the other buttons - except power and phone - were locked out and did nothing (once I powered off). Now I can't recall how in the world I did that. Can anyone help me on this? Pleeease?

On mine, it's a setting under keylock.
Start -> Settings -> System
Yeah, I have that, too, but my options are...
Lock all buttons except Power button
Lock buttons if device is locked
Do not lock buttons
If I choose option 2, any of the HW buttons will wake it up. But I used to have it set so that only the power button OR the phone button would wake it up. The messaging, IE, camera, etc. buttons would not wake it up.
Are you saying that you have the option for just the power and phone buttons? If so, maybe it's an OS issue? I'm running WM6.1...
There is no such option for just the power and phone buttons under keylock. Just the 3 options u saw! Maybe a 3rd party app...
I guess it must have been a 3rd party app, then, or something that applies tweaks, but I've looked in AdvancedConfig and SKTools and I don't see it anywhere.
I know I did it somehow. Just hoping someone will recognize this and know how it's done.
In the button mapping settings for my touch/vogue/xv6900/whateveryouwanttocallit, I have an entry for "Button 5". I tried mapping it to something and tried pushing every button on the phone and the button on my bluetooth headset for short and long times, and nothing seemed to activate that mapping. Can anyone help me with what that button 5 is connected to? Is its presence in the settings just a mistake?
The only other buttons available to map are button 1 for short and long presses, and that is quite clearly the camera button on the bottom right.
Did you flash a hacked rom. This button does not exist on the vogue, so it might be a button entry from another phone. This button does not exist
No hacked rom, this thing is stock from verizon. The only "interesting" things I installed was microsoft voice command and the htc home customizer. I do remember the available buttons seeming to change when I turned the voice speed dial (the built in thing) on and off, but doing that again doesn't produce a change, and I can't remember what the change was.
I think the VC cab added that button. You can delete it from the registry, as it doesnt exist in hardware
my vx6900 had it on there as well, no flashes or anything. I think it's a Verizon glitch.
Just bought my HD and is loving it. However, the lack of physical buttons is quite frustrating, especially when I am driving.
I like to listen to music with the screen turned off. However, when the screen is off, all the virtual buttons are disabled. Only the physical buttons like the volume and power are active.
Does anyone know if there is a way to enable the virtual buttons even when the screen is off?
i too would be very interested in this. the buttons are not capacitive, but still the ability to wake / power on the phone using the front buttons would be cool
Unfortunately the use of the hardware keys are disabled whilst in standby mode and this cannot be changed
However you can use 3rd party apps like AEBPlus to map other functions to buttons like vol up
i.e.
Volume Up button
One short press > move up
two short press > play
Long press > volume up
and this can be duplicated with different functions to other buttons
Try doing a search for AEB Plus and read up on it. Also search this forum for other methods

I am already using AEBPlus but I need more than 2 buttons. The mapping is done by the application, PocketPlayer, and it doesn't support double press.
Interestingly, when you are making a phone call, the screen will go off initially. You can actually press one of the virtual button to turn the screen back on. So I thought there might be a way to achieve this...
How is your screen getting turned off? By PocketPlayer or by the system's energy-settings? Possibly try Display Switch (yet another little app as Part of psshutXP) for this. Found this in my Touch (ELF) Rom and use it for any app, that doesn't support display-switching itself. Keeps my (hardware)-buttons funktional...
