using the green and red button in wm2005

maybe you can find a way to map the green and red phone button to the two soft keys we now have a the button of the screen,
i always push those buttons, it makes me think i'm using a phone,
forgetting it's a touch screen

recall somebody saying that those 2 buttons was hardwired to the gsm part of the phone and that CE had no control over them
but i guess he could have been wrong since they are locked by button lock
but then if the phone does ring they can make you pick up the phone without typing in your password

Red and green buttons are not hardwired to GSM module.
They are usual hardware buttons processec by system in a specific way.
While working on AEKMap I was able to unbind these buttons from WinCE. And I think that may write simple app to "unbind" them. But what the reason for this application?
1. not all of the programs will detect this key because it is out of "conventional" range
2. How you will answer phone calls without green button?

Hi AE,
Is there any way that you could release the source showing how your unmapped the phone buttons, or at least give us a few hints?
It really is an art that you have mastered, something that very few people have been able to do (outdside of the OS development labs, and we never see those results)!

There are nothing special in this application.
Just calls to
UnregisterHotKey(), UnregisterFunc1 and RegisterHotKey() - if you just need hint The only hint is UnregisterFunc1 - but it is also described in number of places (just ask Google) Hope, this will work in WM2005 also.
I suggest to do it another way. Today I "downgrade" my BlueAngel to Andes And now I should count my HW buttons again :shock: Lets wait some days - and probably I'll make some solution specially for Himalaya/Andes, taking into account your "red/green wishes" At least it will work on WM2003, but I see no problems for Magneto also.
I will post report in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=115430

P.S.: Please try to run program attached here to check if it hooks red and green buttons and let me know the results. You will need to soft-reset your device to restore normal HW buttons functionality

Unhooking the red and green buttons would definitely be useful for us with a Magician, since it has very few hardware buttons. You could still answer a phone call by clicking Answer when the dialog appears.

Problem :hardware keyboard down-right key (o) behaves as Commmanager button

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...

Wake up on screen touch

I've searched and can't find a setting so it comes on when I touch the screen. I have limited mobility in my hand so that would make a big difference for me.
THANKS!

I use a software called Cyberion Voice commander ( this may work as well with Microsoft Voice command as well ) and when i press the button on my bluetooth headset it would wake up the screen and then askk for me to submit a command. hope this tid bit helps as currently there is no touch screen to wake up. you either need software that runs in the background to wake it up via bluetooth etc, or you need to press the power button on the side. this is probably due to the way this phone works as well does many windows mobile's and if you could wake it up with the touch screen it could accidently get turned on just being in a pocket , or handbag etc.etc.

Only wakeup with power button

Hi
Sorry if it was discused before but I didnt find anything.
How can I configure the device to wakeup ONLY if the power button is pressed?. I cant find the option in this device...
Thanks

Hi Daniel, nice to see you migrating to HD2. Here's a discussion about this problem, for some reason it's in the Programs section. AFAIK there's no solution, and there's certainly some work to do in making this device behave reasonably with the hardware keys. HTC seem to have done some very quirky things in the key driver department. With regard to this specific issue I'm afraid they enabled wakeup on any key because there's no power key really... The End key hooks will not work in Standby mode, so my hypothesis is that in order to turn on the device they didn't bother to write a proper driver, but simply force this wake-on-any-key Windows feature.

Well,its a pitty. We will ve to do something about it...

Lock all buttons

Well i just got an HD2 (love it btw) im successfully running Hyperdroid no problems what so ever . However i have a bug i need fixed , when the device goes into standby , ALL HARDWARE BUTTONS REWAKE THE SCREEN (excluding volume) is there a way to LOCK ALL HARDWARE BUTTONS EXCEPT for the volume up ? For instance , i reply to a text , press "end key" to suspend device , device is in standby and all buttons (green phone, home, menu, back, red end key) are DISABLED and the only way to wake the device up is by pressing the Volume Up key . I like this idea because there is no designated power button , and when the device is in my pocket , the buttons get pressed and it SERIOUSLY drains the power (i noticed in my logcat this was happening) and since the volume buttons are on the side they are less likely to be pressed . However, once volume button is pressed to wake the device i want the volume buttons to go back to normal . I hope this is possible .

Well, it's not exactly what you wanted.
But you could use Tasker and tell it to turn the screen off again if it's upside-down (in your pocket) and/or if something is in front of the proximity sensor(in your pocket/bag/purse). you could also specify it so that these events won't lock your phone again when it's awake for over 3 seconds or so
I could help you with this if you don't understand how to set it up.
This would partially solve your problem, but there is a small delay between recognizing the events and the action taken so it would stay on for about a second and then shut it off again.
Tell me what you think about it.

I found a similar program . Forget what it was , i mean i guess that could work but its still not gonna keep the screen from coming on when the buttons get pressed . Which , with having front facing buttons , will happen a lot . I'll try the program and check my logcats for device wake. Also , how hard is it to develop in android ? ive written many C# programs for my computer and a couple simple ones ror Windows Mobile . Would i pick up android programing easily ?

Bump ? Really would like some INFO

Yet , ANOTHER bum smh -.- anybody ???

I have no idea to your actual question, but I would like to know the answer as well!

Hi there,
As far as I know programming is 10% grammatical and 90% knowledge of the vocabulary
If you know how to program, you should. Pick. It up easily.
You could follow some tutorials. On. YouTube to get yourself started, although. Most of them. Are really basic.
Start by googling for android sdk. And eclipse you'll need those programs to. Start programming

Hey thanks I've gotten started but the thing I wanna do in my original post is too deep for a simple program to do . Its deep in the kernel .
