I know you can use the volume buttons for the music volume with the phone off and listening to music through headphones, but is there a way to make the talk, home, back and end buttons control the play/pause and next/back for tracks? thanks!
that would be awesome. It would be especially cool for when I'm using the HD hooked up to my car stereo. No more fumbling with the recessed power button, then trying to tap the down button while avoiding that truck that just swerved in front of me. Eeek!

There is software out there which enables us to map certain buttons to control other things i.e. AEBPlus, which we can map controls like volume up/down etc, but it wouldn't be able to do the controls you have asked for!
Don't think such software exists....sorry!
With AEBPlus you can map the volume buttons to multiple functions. I have single click mapped to volume up/down, triple click mapped to next/back and long button press to play/pause.

I didn't see an option for next/back & play/pause
What was the command called?
i.e.
19. Volume Up
20. Volume Down
what is next/back?

Previous track - "press up arrow"
Next track - "Press Down arrow
Play Pause - "Press enter"

Is there a way to easily adjust the volume using the wheel? Or do we have to get the stylus out :?
Cheers
Just tried SPB pocket plus but it doesnt have a volume indicator, just a control which doesnt show what the volume is set to!
any clues?
What is it that you want to do?
If you move the jogwheel during a call, you can change the voulme of the speaker...
OK, But do you know how to adjust the volume when not in a call without tapping the screen? is there a way to do this please?
probably clumsier than tapping the screen, but if you have both Spb Pocket Plus and MS VoiceCommand, you can issue commands for Volume Up, Volume Down, Volume Loop, and Mute.
You can also tapp on the Comm Manager button and toggle the between (preset volume), (vibrate), and (silent).
Is there a good screen tap recorder which works with the tytn?
I tried Vitobuttonmapper which does this but it messed up all my other button assignments! I just want to be able to assign the voicedialler press and hold function to bring up the volume bubble!
Anyone found a prog which will turn a screen tap into an .exe which will be assignable to a button?
Vijay?
Anyone??????
with aebutton plus 2.4.3 beta (its now in 2.4.4 beta), if you remap the "ok" buttons after adding it, you can select it in such a way (under "\options\restore volume slider\" select "if today is active").
Now in the today screen, when you press the ok button, the volume slider will be activated. You can then use he left right up/down keys to select the volume of choice.
However, upon capturing the ok button, i have to map the ok button to close active apps when pressed twice. Pressing it once, regardless of the program in the foreground yields nothing.
To minimize, i have the use the red phone button.
I use the following mortscript:
Code:
MouseClick 160,0
Sleep 100
MouseClick 160,200
In portrait QVGA.
There's a neater way with VJKeyPress as well, but I can't remember the settings right now
If necessary it'll be easy to turn this into a seperate app.

see title- is there a third party application that can do this? Also, the buttons settings shows button 2 and 3- where on earth are they?

You most certainly can!
I use AE Button Plus. It is an amazing little app that lets you do just about anything with all the hardware buttons on the phone. It also lets you assign more than one behaviour to the same button- one for press, one for double press and so on... Check it out here http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Hope this helps!
Nice one- thanks for that
Yes, excellent app !
I've been able to link to npop by adding the "mail" button but it still launched the built-in mail program, anyone figure out if it can be "inhibited" from AE ?

Wheel? What wheel? I only wish the Touch Dual had a wheel
Very impressed with Touch Dual so far. I agree - the wheel would have made it an amazing device...
Maybe for the Touch Dual II?
I can't get it to scroll when you keep the button pressed (volume up button for scroll up volume down button for scroll down)
I've tried loads of different combinations to get it to scroll like the dpad.
If anyones got it working can you post how please?

the missing buttons refer to the volume buttons. just press and hold to activate them.
I've mapped button 2 and 3 and button 2 hold and button 3 hold to scroll up and scroll down.
The hold buttons work OK but they aren't usable as a scroller as it takes too long to activate but If I map the normal buttons to scroll up and down they still only change volume. If I map them to launch contacts they launch this fine some of the time but not always and other times they just change the volume. So no can do. This by the way is using pocket plus' built in button mapping program.

Is there any way to do this because say if im listening to a song and i want to change it i always gotta turn on the screen in order to do so when i really dont need to.
any help would be greatly appreciated
Plug in your headphones
that doesnt work - it makes no differnece to the buttons
There's a way to modify that radio button on the stock headphone piece to do one command. It can be stop, forward, back, or whatever.
Can you please be more specific on how to change track using the button on the headset? also having the problem where screen turns on everytime I change track. GSplayer has this feature, but I prefer WMP
i dont use the original headphones - there must be a reg edit or something to allow the use of buttons with the screen off?

the easiest thing you can do is change the button config within WMP.
- Open WMP
- Go to view the player (not the library) by either playing a song or by hitting OK
- Hit Menu > Options > Buttons
- Scroll all the way down and select "Toggle Screen"
Now this is where you have to decide what button you want to use to turn the screen on and off, personally, I picked the center button (the optical joystick button) as my on and off screen, which is currently the Play/Pause button. For these instructions, I will use that button as the example.
- Hit the "Assing" button and hit the middle (optical joystick) button.
- Hit OK
Now you can turn the screen on/off (by hitting that button) while still being able to increase/decrease the player's volume, change tracks back or forward, and if you do a long press then you can fast forward or rewind the track.
Hope this is what you were looking for...
Hope this helps

awesome - thanks mate!
I'm looking for a way to pause and resume media without interacting with the touchscreen. I don't care if it also wakes the screen, and I'm willing to remap a volume button to menu, camera, or whatever if necessary, though I would prefer just mapping it to a long-press, or better yet to the power button so that all media controls would be accessible without opening my case.
Are there any options?
Well, I have one less-than-ideal method:
Taosaur said:
1. install Media Keys app to add media controls to my shortcuts menu
2. use keysmod/NookKey Editor to map Menu to Vol- (I'd rather keep Vol-)
3. map play/pause to Menu longpress in CM Input settings
4. disable lock screen (I'd rather keep security)
5. use Power to wake the device, then longpress Vol- (now Menu)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, I'm already using the "Volume button music controls" setting which maps next/previous skip buttons to Vol+/- longpress when the screen is off. Does anyone conversant with ADB know a way I could swap in play/pause for previous on the Vol- key?
It would be ideal if I could map that behavior to the Home button; all it does now is wake the screen, which Power duplicates, but I suspect the framework is already in place for the Volume buttons, and it might be as simple as swapping one line of code for another.
I'm trying to submit more versatile "Volume button music controls" as a feature request for CM7, too, but if anyone has a more immediate solution I can implement myself, I'd like to give it a try.
A minor elaboration on the method above: keysmod lets me set the Vol- button (now Menu) as wake-on-press, so I can click it once to wake, then long-press to play/pause. Oddly enough, the long-press doesn't work if I left Google Music Beta (or probably any media player) on-screen when the NC went to sleep. I haven't tested extensively, but it's possible other apps would block the long-press behavior, too. So, for it to work reliably, you want to return to your homescreen before putting the NC to sleep.
Also, if nothing is playing, the long-press will start the default Music app. If another media player (including Google Music Beta) is playing, it will pause and resume that app.
I've poked my head into the CM7 code, but don't have so much as a toehold on tracking down and replacing the relevant bit of code to swap play/pause for previous track in the Volume button music controls setting. If any higher-level nerds than myself can offer a clue, it would be much appreciated.
ETA: My workaround is basically serviceable for using the NC as a PMP or bedside player, particularly for audiobooks where play/pause is going to be considerably more important than Vol-. If you're anxious that keysmod may affect Vol+/- functions in the CM7 boot menu or CMW, I can confirm that no, as expected, it does not.
When volume buttons are pressed only media volume control is visible. How to make other volume controls like ring,alarm also visible ?
