Anybody know know to turn off the LED on the hardware buttion like Start, OK, and IE.
Any kind of registry setting that will turn off that light on those button?
I'm curious why you would want to take away such a useful things away. Currently I use all the hardware button and wish there are more available. I use it for things such as changing SIP, rotate screen, start IGO, and control myp3 (such as volume up, volume down, next song,previous song,blank out screen, bring up the playlist,pause, unpause. This is while the device remains inside my belt pouch). The ok button is extremely useful in doing things such as hiding the phone application after use. Similarly if you're using program such as VITO fun contact, you could hide it after use without having to exit this extremely memory tiny application and able to instantly access your contact again anytime. Why would you want to disable all these useful features?

I suppose he just wants to turn off the light of the buttons to gain some more battery time, not to disable their use. Though I doubt you would gain so much by disabling the leds.
I noticed a gain in battery time when I disabled the blinking LEDs, but they blink all the time unlike the button LEDs which are only on sporadically. So I agree that disabling the button LEDs won't gain you anything.
I just think that the LED or the light is annoying. I didn't mean to disable the function.
The light around the joystick is fine. So any solution ??
key board backlight!!!
hi not sure i have any solution to ur question & dont want to be a time waister either, however i was hoping since u r on the topic of disabling the led on some of d buttons, can u please tell me if its possible to turn on the key board backlight as my AMEO never comes on when using the keyboard & cant find any settings for it? pls fill free to pm if u like, many thanks in advances

I don't think the keyboard has backlight. There is no light at all as I know....So this is not an option.

Has anyone used Powercheck before? I have a question regarding the "LCD off" function, which has the potential to be quite a handy tool:
How do I switch the screen back on again without using the power button? It allows you to assign a two-button press configuration to the action, but only gives the available options of "Button 1-5". Which button is which!?
Thanks,
Rich
all the
screen toggle programs i've used react to
all buttons and screen preasure to turn on the screen once more
Doesn't work with this one unfortunately.
Thanks anyway.
what about pressing contacts button ?
that sure works with the one i'm using now
Tried everything to no avail.
I'll probably go and look for another app. Any ideas? I want to be able display battery, storage and memory levels on the display screen as well.
pocket plus v2 does all of that i believe
but some people say it cause them problems on their xda2
others say it dont
Nice one, thanks Rudegar.
i managed to figure out that button 1 is the calender button (right side of earpiece), and button two is the contacts button (left side). all good. thanks again Rudegar.
Any ideas on how to get the light button working on a jas-jar. Mine has not been working since the start and I've tried everything. The button Im talking about is the first from the right close to the infrared port on the outside of the device. It is supposed to turn on the flashlight but when I press it nothing happens and it doesnt even show up in the buttons applet in WM5.
Actually that button doesn't turn on the flashlight, though some here have tried to come up with a hack so that it would. I don't know if they were ever successful with that.
That button turns on the screen backlight when it has timed out but your device is still turned on. It's not the most useful button, which is why folks were trying to come up with a hack to make it more useful, for instance to turn on the flashlight like you wanted to.
Maybe if someone has had success, they will chime in here.
Change the button
Attached is a cab file allowing you to make use out of the light button to anything else :lol:
When yuo say anything else, does that include controlling the flashlight? Either way, thanks for the file.
Would be nice if one could assign it to turn on the keyboard backlight.
There is no option to adjust the sensitivite of the light sensor for the keyboard, and i think that it kicks in way to late.
Find my self holding the finger over the sensor and hitting a button to make it light up.
Any one aware og a possible Reg Hack to make this option appear in the Assing Button list?

why dont u just change the option in the settings\buttons\backlight and take the tick off the box, and it works like a charm. everytime u press a key it lights up, sorted, and it doesnt affect the battery at all really
@Elmo
Well i didn't use that choise because i don't have any car charger yet. (Waiting for the Brodit kit)
I want to preserve as much battery as possible.........as you already know, this baby can eat your battery pretty fast............

Is this the same as changing it manually on the registry?
Yes, it's my CAB file I posted a little while back that adds a registry entry so that you see it listed as "Button 5" in the Buttons setting applet.

Isn'it available for the Wizard too ? ...
I wrote a very simple script that turn on the camera and press the flash button.
I use the flash key and ms voice command to start it
you need to have MortScript installed. (include with this package)
A very simple question from a new owner -- where are the buttons defined that are assigned in Settings - Buttons? I don't see them labeled as "Button 1", etc in the User Manual.

On your HTC Universal, go to:
Start>Settings>Buttons
From there you can change the assignments of the buttons.
Ok. I have found the 2 keyboard keys that are buttons 1 and 2, and the 2 external buttons that are buttons 3 and 4.
I must say that button 1 is not very useful for voice command, when the device is closed. I guess I could assign it to button 4 or button 5 with the registry hack.
On the supplied "headset", there is a microphone with a button on it.
- What does that button do?
- Is it possible to use it for Voice Command?
(I guess for that to happen, it first needs to be recognised as an assignable button in WM5).
The backlight button cab file is working. Now I can reassign that useless button becomes the OK button. Very useful when use it in the tablet mode. But I need two more buttons to use for the softkey. I have use the record button for the left softkey and have no more button for the right softkey. Any suggestion?
One more thing, the script for enabling the flash light does not work. It turns on the camera, but the flash light remains off.
Does anyone know a software that can toggle touch-screen feature on/off on Magitians?
I don't mean blanking the screenduring a call, but rather a program that blocks screen tapping. I want to operate my S110 with buttons without worrying about accidental screen touches.
Hi
You can always use TPenable.exe and TPdisable.exe from any Extended ROM.
Good luck
Thanks but... TPDisable.exe disables all buttons also. So, it doesn't work for me.
Hi, do a search for "mortsaver".
I know MortSaver. This program turns screen off entirely, not only touch-screen feature. So, doesn't work for me either.

As far i understud, you can configurate it to do what ever you need:
"What is it good for?
MortSaver is a combination of screensaver, keylock, and a "stay off!" function.
Screensaver:
The display's turned off, but the PPC keeps running (e.g. for audio players). In spite to other tools, MortSaver turns off the dispay again if it's been switched on by e.g. an alert or the on/off button.
Keylock: All buttons (except the one necessary for deactivation, of course) are locked, as far as it's possible to me. A few programs sadly use some undocumented tricks, which allows them to get the button presses even if they're assigned to MortSaver in the system, or set themselfes as topmost window, by which the direction pad keys will be sent to this window. Disabling MortSaver can be done either with one button or a sequence of two buttons.
"Stay off!": PocketPCs are often switched on by themselves or accidentally - by alerts (appointments, SMS, ...) or accidental button presses in your pocket. In those cases, MortSaver can turn off the device again after a selectable timespan (so you recognize MortSaver's active and the device alive).
After power on or system-caused disabling of the screensaver, MortSaver shows a countdown until the screen or device (depending on settings, also see instructions), the button(s) to deactivate it, the time, battery level, a user definable text (e.g. owner infos), and on Phone Edition devices also signal strength and hints about missed calls and SMS."
Source Official mortsaver web page:
http://www.sto-helit.de/modules/edito/content.php?id=36
I am not saying that Mortsaver does not deliver what promises. Simply I am looking for something different.
To rephrase what I need in other words:
1/ having screen on (to see what is on the screen)
2/ having device making no reaction on screen taps
3/ having all button working (slider, power, application)
I've configured my S110 to operate and run everything I need on the run by one hand using just buttins. But quite often accidental touch by finger or cloth (when I pulling it of the pocket or putting it back) stops what I run or making a second call to the person I've just talked.
Ok, now i get your meaning. Perhaps yo can ask directly to mort developer as i did many times at his own email witch you can find at his web page.
Look for Pocketmax ScreenGuard works perfectly. Costs some money though.
ScreenGuard ( http://www.pocketmax.net/screenGuard.htm ) still locks the buttons, though? Except for the green call button - and then only when you also use their PhoneAlarm app.
ScreenGuard falls close to what I am looking to. But it locks buttons and couple of times it locked "too good" - I couldn't unlock my device and needed to HR.
maybe u want to try this...
assign it to any button to lock....
to unlock, hold record button and calendar button...
i assigned it to record button for easy usage...
cheers...

Hi All
I've been looking in to locking down an Athena and taking control / disabling all the hardware buttons. I can disable most of them in Start->Settings->Buttons. The ones I am having particular trouble with are the OK and Windows buttons to the left of the screen. I have trawled the registry and am yet to come up any answers on how to do this. Does anyone know where the registry keys may exist to do this?
Cheers
Gsoty

AEBPlus free version will disable all buttons

But I agree, unless you're developing an app that comandeers the buttons, why reduce functionality? You can lock the buttons while the unit is off. ???
Hello everyone,
I have been searching for some time about a possibilitie / software that will work for my actual HTC (Diamond pro) but nothing comes to be even good. And then I remember the old times with an old HTC (sorry I do not remember the model) where a dedicate key could turn off the screen
what I am looking for, if anybody has an idea, please share it,
- hot key, shortcut that turn off the screen, and disable the touch screen
- the screen come become a-live with same key-press
that's all !!
and what I think would be the perfect solution.
- and application that as soon as it get started turn off the screen and disable the touch screen, letting still the functinality for the device to be controlled by the PC (personally I use MyMobileR )
- in that way it could be assign to a hot key, or to a short cut in the screen/menus (I will love to be possible to assign to a long touch on the central pad/button)
- it could have advance configuration options :
dim light levels instead of complete turn off
splash a logo / screen instead of black screen
- configurable key to let the app go, again lovely if a long central pad touch would make it
mainly the idea is to save battery / turn off the screen (touch also) in a easy way without lose any other functionality when the device think is not time to do it (connected to PC, GPS application, Music playing, etc...)
any idea ?
I would love to program it, but I lack the skills necessary for it. within my ignorance I presume is not a difficult app to be develop
thanks in advance
have you tried xdaShutdown?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544016
you can make a .lnk file of "lights out" and assign it to a button.
53#"\Program Files\xdashutdown\xdashutdown.exe" /lightsout

Hello dude i can share what i think
Im using Turn the Screen OFF
Its very litle and simple app so after install it on the Main Memory she will apear in the start menu, you need just to go in settings, personal, buttons and there to map some of the hardware keys to use Turn of the light.
I didt it with my Answering Button and when i press and hold that Button my phone go to sleep mode fast.. when i wana wake up the phone i can do it by the Stylus.. if i pull out the stylus the phone wake up or the second variant is to press the Power button.
Im using this app because i don`t want to use my power button anymore and this program really work for me and is free
Im using Touch HD but the program will work on any WM Device
