is there a Registry key(s) to view to check or make this button access the Phone or the functions of Dial? It stopped working on my last upgrade to 6.5, and I thought it was a problems with the new OS. I have now reverted back to 6.1 and it still doesn't work. I can't answer the phone with this hard button and I cannot bring up the dialer either. I have made the green phone button another button using HButton, and I made the green button access the Calculator using AEButton Plus. The calculator does not come up when the button is pushed, but I can make the phone come up, but not dial. This may be related to a problem when I do Phone Code Data ##3282#. The phone goes to EPST then quickly goes to the dialer so I can't do any troubleshooting. I posted this to ppcGeeks too. Help Please

What i'd like to do is assign more than 1 binding to the outlook button.
Exactly the same as the "voice dial" one has as standard (press for voice dial, hold for voice memo)
What i want is (on the mail/outlook/text button) press to open outlook, hold to start new text message.
Is there a reg key to change to allow this dual use?
If not (and i'd rather not add more software to map buttons) what software will allow this? Multipress isn't really an option, as pressing the button again now will cycle through the different text settings (sms, mms, e-mail etc) and put you in whatever folder you were in last (inbox, outbox etc)
EDIT:
While i would still like to be able to do this, thanx to vijay555 who's phone tools 2 lets me start a blank sms from a today screen .lnk file
The only way to do it is using Vito Button mapper.
Button mapper supports macros as well.

Have you read the thread about putting VJSMS on the softkeys, to start an sms straight from that key..
I'll have another related release that you'll hopefully like, coming soon.

I'll search some more later and keep an eye on your site!
Vito Button Mapper works here, but after a soft reset I get a popup message saying a certificate is missing.
Also, after installation my backlight was turned off. Went to settings and restored it and all works fine now (also after a reset... only problem is the popup)
Vito Button Mapper screwed up my softkeys.
Only in the 'Today Screen' however thats were a couple of my most used buttons were.
Now they don't work and sometimes change?
I would urge you NOT TO USE if you want to use soft keys in Today screen.

Soft keys can be configurated in the app, that is why you lost them for now...
Reconfig them:
Start -> Settings -> Buttons
Configuration drop down -> Today
Top 2 entries: Left softkey & Right softkey
Well yours must be different to mine.
When I open buttons the only choices I have are for the 5 hardware buttons.
No other choices are available????????

I have WM5 and after installing the Eten Dialer and the classic grey skin, I have enjoyed the big buttons.
But for some reason now after a phone call I hit the RED phone key to hang up and the dialer will go off and then try to start it by the GREEN button it will not restart.
My problem is sometimes the Phone Dialer will not restart so I have to reboot or soft reset. Is there anything I can do about this? Any other dialer to try?
If I do a hard reset will that bring back my regular dialer and the default skin. I really dont want to do this.
Thanks
Anyone?
I also noticed today while my 8125 was just lying around, I went to start up the phone so I could dial a friend. the dialer would not come up. I went to my contacts and the dialer allowed me to use it. after I found the contact and used the center hat button the phone dialed. after I hung up I tried to restart it regularly and it would not start.
need help
Quick and silly one, just not in the mood for reading the manual.
Which is the button 1 that can be modified in the start/settings/buttons screen?
It should only be editable the press and hold of this button, but not sure which one it is. tried them all, none seems to work.
LATER EDIT: it seems it is the button you may press on the stereo handsfree in the package. But even in this case, even if i changed default behaviour from voice dial to, lets say, comm manager, it i press it and keep it pressed, it still starts the voice dial. any clue?
EDIT2: Found it, its the Green Call button, the one used to answer calls. If you keep it pressed it can call any application you define in start/settings/buttons screen.
thx
volume down button
I tried it but it does not work
I tried it but it does not work ... I held the volume down button, nothing happend
you can also set it to perform a manual rotate too.
it does require a reghack along the lines of hklm\system\gdi\rotation iirc to enable that option in the 'button1' assignment menu.
also, if you change the 'landscape' dword from 4 to a 2, then it'll rotate 90deg rather than 270deg.
disclaimer: registry references are done off the top of my head; if the reg key isnt present then your in the wrong area i recall the definate answer is somewhere in these forums if you want definate info!
Hi everyone! As the title says, for some strange reason this morning my 'Home' button won't work from any application, the button however does make the screen light up and the buttons light up, but does not take you back to the home screen... also, when at the home screen, the dial button would usually bring the contacts or the dialer page up, but this is not working either, however, if I go into the contacts shortcut on the home screen and select a contact and press the dial button there, it will call them...
so basically, my main issue is the Home button not working!
Its not rooted *yet* and is therefore running a standard rom, it does have a fair few apps installed tho, but I have used the advanced task manager to close everything... I'm v' new to all this Android stuff as up until a few months ago, I was a Windows Mobile person with my previous SPV's and HTC's so any help would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks, Adam.
i tried to use the new system.ext2 today but i got SOD so restored back to original version.

tried a search but looking for home button seemed to turn up random results
ta very much, love this place
Have posted this in android forum but no luck::::
Any ideas?

I'm using the desire build 5.7 with cotulla's new zimage.
i've searched High and low to see if someone has posted it already and couldn't find a solution.
I have had a similar issue with trying to use android.
I have a euro hd2 with 2_12_50_02_2, using chucky gtx rom, installed following task 29.
The rom seems to work well in windows with the problem of non-functioning hard key buttons in the WINMO also. It seems impossible to assign functions to the hard keys via the windows settings - only the send key option is displayed. The send key (green) button works fine for bringing up the dial pad and the end key (red) works fine also. The start button appropriately brings up the windows menu in this rom, though i have noticed that it does not work on other roms. Currently my home key and back key do not appear to do anything in the WINMO under chucky gtx rom!!
This presents no problems in WINMO as htc sense is easily navigated use touchscreen only and to be honest i never even touch the hard keys. However, this presents a massive problem in ANDROID - the android becomes impossible to navigate as I cannot ever go back or use the home key to get to the main screen. This is the same in sense or launcher mode.
I am using a clean fat 32 4gb class 2 micro sd, desire build v 5.7 from gamesquare and tried all the latest zimage files from cotulla and others but always the same problem. the send key is working fine but then i cannot get out of the dial pad. pressing the end key puts the sense in lock and screen off and i can long press this to power down but if i unlock then i am just stuck at dialpad or where ever i was when i locked. the windows key seems to bring up context menu fine and long press brings up key board in android. The home button does seem to wake from sleep sometimes i think, back button does not seem to work at all.
I have tried changing the rootcfs as well but this did not do anything. I had the same problem on FROYO build so im guessing it might not be an android problem. I am using JMZ dual boot on new rom installs without any other programs on windows or anything else other than android on the microsd.
I have not tried any stock roms to see if they solve the button issue in WINMO but cant really understand why they dont work so well in ANDROID or are they linked as android is ontop of windows?
Ihave found a workaround by installing "soft home key" app from market place which is helpful. but still looking for a fix. All very frustrating!!!
Searched everywhere on xda for answers to no avail. even googling for days!!!
PLEASE HELP. I think im not alone if above post is anything to go by
seem to have the same problem myself.
a short press of the windows button goes home, a long press brings up the recent apps; not the menu.
same issue here
i looked at the files located under /system/usr/keylayout and they all indicated that the correct functions were assigned to the correct keys
anyone else have any ideas?
Just remove the Android file from SD, then reload. Done. These builds are not complete yet. Crap is bound to go wrong.
i think the word we are looking for ..is.........beta
can be closed
I had the same problem...The home button on my rooted Nook Color stopped working. I finally stumbled on the answer. I double clicked the home button and it brought up settings. The home button was set to softkeys instead of home. Just change it and it works again.
