muting :-( - Touch HD General

Hi Guys,
this issue has been driving me slightly mad, tried searching with no luck, hopefully someone can help.
basically when i get an incoming call a) the flip phone over does not mute call, b) pressing the mute button on the incoming call screen does not work.
Now this used to work, and i have no idea what changed to cause it to stop.
i have checked the following :
regsitry - FaceDownMuteRing set to 1
HD Tweak tool - mute call is enabled
S2u2 - i have all phone settings off (callerID section set to off)
Now i do have AEbuttons installed which is probably the last thing i installed, on this i have mapped several buttons to the volume keys. Cant see this been an issue though.
Also, another issue which has developed is my backlight settings keep reverting back to timeout after 10 seconds everytime i reboot the device, could this be related.
any help will be much appriciated,
thanks

Had the same problem. And exactly the same possible culprit. Thus, I decided to try restoring the volume keys to their default mappings in AEB, and alas, now the muting works when I press the mute button or face the phone down.
On the other hand, if you really need to map the volume buttons, I also discovered that while the mute button or facing the phone down would not mute the phone while it is ringing, pressing the volume down button will (assuming that it is not mapped in AEB).
Hope that helped!

volume buttons not working...

Anyone else get these syptoms?:
the volume control on the side, when I press the up or down once, it goes to the volume slider screen. One would expect that pressing the volume up, to move it up and then down, to move the volume down right?
Well on mine; if you press the volume button once, it goes to the volume screen ok, but if you press it again, it takes you back to the previous screen without altering the volume. The same happens for both up and down buttons.

As of today I have the exact same issue ! I installed sdkcerts.cab and FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab but uninstalled and the issue is still there
have you had any luck in finding out what's causing it, not overly enthusiatic about doing a hard reset which will probably be mentioned ?
I have the same issue, after installing some apps on my new Blackstone the Volume-settings feature was gone...
Any Ideas?
regards+thx
ps: please don't tell me to hard reset ;-)
I also have sdkcerts.cab and FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab installed (and many other applications), but my volume buttons work as expected. Maybe it has something to do with device lock?
Regards!

yes, just re-installed it.. same issue.. and then with setting "Volume Control = ON" it is working.
thank you
well spotted MHoefler !! all sorted now after enabling the volume in S2U, happy again
Yes, work with volume control "on" setting but, the volume control at call is locked!!
Any solution for up or down the volume at calls (with S2U2 installed)?
Regards.
You may try a hard reset.

Yes Black, I know that hardreset works but I wanna use S2U2.
It is clearly a bug in s2u2 and until it gets fixed there is not satisfactory solution unfortunately.
That seems. Just wait for new release.

I found the solution at the diamond-forum. You have to set "DonĀ“t use the keyboard hook" at the S2U2-Settings to "ON" and the S2U2-Volume-Control to "OFF" -then all works perfect!!!
Thanks nick007, I'll try it.
EDIT: Yes, it works! And the hardware buttons does not pick up/ignore the calls.
thank you, but for me that doesn't work correctly: With these settings i can control the system and ring volume during a call properly, but i can't change the actual 'in-call-volume' (which means the volume how loud i can hear the other party talk)... can anyone check this?
regards jan
Yes hausen, I can change "in-call-volume".
Before you uninstall S2U2...
I had this issue as well, and suspected it had something to do with having the volume buttons captured in Mortplayer and Coreplayer. Glad to see they weren't the issue so i can keep controlling them the way i like
But be careful when getting rid of S2U2!
I had S2U2 installed as well and uninstalled it without setting the volume control, and the volume buttons remained broken! I had to install S2U2 again, activate its volume control and THEN uninstall it to get volume control back! So if you want to uninstall, be sure to fix the volume controls beforehand.
Well, it seems like i really messed it up.... My volume buttons are still broken
I get the same symptoms as described earlier (volume buttons call up the volume screen, pressing a second time does not change volume but closes the volume screen instead), but in addition i noticed pressing the volume buttons while on the volume screen actually generates up arrow/down arrow keys! You can see this on many of the manilla screens where suddenly items become selected, but in other programs as well. The volume key press that calls up the volume screen doesn't seem to generate an arrow key, or it doesn't get sent to the current program.
So a couple of things i did that could have broken it:
I remapped the volume keys in Mortplayer.
I remapped the volume keys in Coreplayer.
I had S2U2 installed.
I tried to "fix" things with AEBplus.
The symptoms are always there, even after a soft reset without having run either Mortplayer or Coreplayer. I think the system's response to the volume key has changed, and the volume keys still send volume commands because explicitly remapping the keys to volume keys with AEBplus doesn't change anything. I even tried remapping another key to generate volume commands, but that just seems to keep calling up the volume screen, even if it's already active!
So i'll be struggling with this for a while it seems.... but if anyone has any suggestions or insights.....?
I have the same problem ... DOWN volume key is not working.
The annoying thing is that if I try to soft-reset the device it works but I get into bootloader. I have to press the UP volume key and keep it pressed until HTC logo appears, or else I still get into bootloader. So, I don't know what to say, but for me at leat, it might be a hardware problem.
Another thing is that when I go to hard-reset screen, none of the buttons work. I mean is I try to press volume UP or DOWN, nothing happens. Today I succeded in hard-reseting the device but the problem still persists.
I hate this thing and I hope that somehow this problem can be solved. Good luck to everyone.
PS: I will try to get official rom, radio, and SPL on my diamond, and maybe that will clear the problem because it is annoying at least.
Hope you guys have better luck then me.

adjusting volume of phone call when on speaker ???

Hi all
How do I adjust the volume of a call on loudspeaker ?
Pressing the vol toggle on the side of the phone during the call brings up the system volume slider only.
many thanks
gt
sorry to bump but I could really use some help on this
When i'm in a call , i adjust by lateral volume buttons up and down and it works great ....

what / where are the lateral volume buttons, are they the ones on the side of the phone, if so, they do nothing to the speaker volume for me when im on a call.
can you please clarify, thanks
EDIT: I tell a lie, I have just tried dialling my voice mail, I put it on speaker and tried adjusting the volume. It does seem to work although it wont let me reduce the volume below a certain level. I wonder how my original problem occured then???? maybe its to do with receiving a call.
When I receive a call, the phone screen turns off, so how would I then put the call on speaker ???
Many thanks if you can help
you should tap the "green" YES call button on the left to make appear the screen and select your action like having the keypas to delete a message on your answering machine for example

Press the phone button and the screen will turn back on. You can also use the power button to do this. Once the screen is back on you can select the keypad, put the call on hold or anything else you might want to do while still on a call.

Volume button frustration & text alerts

Hi all,
I've had my touch hd for a few days now and overall im very hapy with it but the volume button on the side is driving me mad. It's very large and very sensitive so im constantly pressing it. Can it be disabled any way?
On another note im having a minor issue with sms alerts in touchflo. sometimes when I get a new message and have read it in touchflo the green '1' will stay indicating that I have an unread message until I go into my actual inbox and have opened it in there. Again, any advice appreciated

Yes. Install AEBplus. Then, configure the single press of volume buttons to something like Up and Down Arrow Key, and Double Press to Volume Up and Down.
It this way, when you touch the rocker, it meanly send an up arrow signal, which for most situation is not going to do anything. When you really want to change volume, double press it. Alternatively, you could configure long press to change volume.
With this setting, you will be able to change your music track and radio channel too, as the Up Down arrow keys are those players use to change track/channel.
Yes, the volumn buttons are very sensitive, so AEB+ is a must to install!
I use D810 for over 2 years, and scroll wheel is very handy to me, so I just config volumn buttons in HD to be up & down button. It can help some, but not all.......
Aside from the rocker volume being touched accidentally, the green phone button can also be touched accidentally. If you do it twice, it makes a call without you even knowing.
So, I do the same. Single press will start my AgePhone, double press for normal phone. In this way, the phone does not dial out unless I want it do.
Yep, AEB plus will be your answer. You can also configure this to do nothing on single press and then volume up/down on double, triple or long press.

Disable Volume Key?

Is there any way to disable the Volume rocker key? It stays active even when the phone is locked so when in my pocket, it often reduces the volume or even puts it off compleatly. Is there a Reg hack to disable it compleatly as the volume can be set via the settings menue.
Regards, Woolly.
This does not happen on my phone.
Anyone else have this problem?
When the phone is put to "sleep" (pressing the on/off button) ,locked or not, all buttons are disabled. The phone will only wake up (all buttons and soft keys enabled) when there is an incoming call or message or when you press the on/off button again. If it's in your pocket during the wake up, that's where the volume button could be pressed by whatever.
That's how it works on mine.
^^+1
The only time the volume buttons are working while phone is sleeping is when I'm listening to music via headset... Otherwise, it works the same as azahidi's...
You can use AE Button Plus ( http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php ), I assigned another functions to volume buttons with it and lot of other functions to rest of my buttons. It is $7.99.
You can also use S2U2 ( http://www.ac-s2.com/ ) for locking the phone. It is free.

[Q] Volume buttons turn screen on

Hello all,
I have recently done an upgrade to WM6.5 (Energy ROM) and now, when listening to music in PocketMusic 5.3.5, screen turns on by pressing the volume buttons to change volume, and the "ding" sound is played as when changing the volume manually. Also the Manila screen for changing volume is displayed and I have to cancel it. In stock WM6.1 it just changed the volume and screen stayed off. I have already tried playing with PocketMusic settings (like using system volume enabled/disabled, or key compatibility mode) and nothing helped.
I don't know if this is an issue with WM6.5 itself or with the particular ROM so I posted my question here (hopefully ok).
I liked to have the phone in my pocket and change volume just using my hand without taking the phone out. Well, those are the small annoyances that get me, but maybe someone has an idea or fix here, please? I already searched (on google and on these forums as well) but that didn't yield any results...

you should try to re-mapping volume buttons with AEB Plus
Thank you for your reply.
I have installed the app but I am afraid it cannot do what I want.
I don't want to remap volume keys permanently - I still want to control the volume as it is now - but only when the screen is on. When screen is off, volume should be changed "on background" - without the ding sound and without turning the screen on. Hopefully I explained it right. Any more suggestions, please?
