Is there a possibility to program the button, which is integrated in the headset?
If I push it, nothing happens. If I push it twice, the caller dials the number I last called in the callhistory.
It would be nice if the caller would popup if I push the button one time, and maybe, if I hold the button for 3 secs, my player (Conduits) would stop playing or something like that.
Pressing it ones is for answering and hanging up a call
jeah, but on my samsung omnia which i had before the TD2, i pressed the button once and the dialer opened up, i liked that in some way, it must be possible to make this on the TD2 too.
and it would be simply nice if i could stop the song i am playing with pressing the button for 3 seks or something like that.
I installed the voice dialler software. Now when I press it, I can say 'home' and it dials home etc. or use it to fire up software.

Does anyone know a registry hack yet for making it possible to remap ALL hardware buttons (or at least the OK button below the jog-wheel, cause this seems to be hard-coded to the Windows-menu) !?
Preferably a reg-hack that (re)enables this options in the regular \Settings\Buttons tab...
Another problem i want to fix (apart from the ROM being immature) is the fact that i have to go all the way into the Bluetooth-settings on the CommManager screen to connect my Jabra 620s in stereo/audio-mode, which is quite anoying and timeconsuming...
Some other strange thing is that when i want use Voicecommand (while playing audio) to either call someone or speak a command to WMP, this will only work when i use VC-assigned button on the device, and NOT with the answer/end button on my headset (wich should be working like the VC-button on device).
Anyone able to help me here ?
PS: i'm quite experienced WM user dating back to the Wyvern/PalmsizePC CE 2.12 devices...but i just can't seem to find my way around these huge registries in todays devices anymore... guess i'm getting old...
Anyone please ...?
I would like to know too. Style-wise, there are a lot of things HTC got wrong with the Trinity. In fact, I found the HTC Wizard better designed.
Damn thing needs IE, Messaging, Comm Manager buttons and a Volume slide but instead it has 2 OK buttons and a jog/dial which I rarely use.
Not to mention how buggy the release ROM is, what with huge delays between standby mode and MiniSD cards requiring re-insertion to work properly.
P.S. It would be nice to be able to change the functionality of the jog/dial wheel to volume control.
Yup - this is driving me nuts too.
I have 7 hardware buttons (inc the power button) on the trinity and I can only map 3 of them from Settings.
It's a real handicap (& Voice Command is conflicting with the voice dial button - or at least that's what I think is happening with my repeated failed installations).
Some wisdom from the forum would be almost as appreciated as a fix
Thanks,

I don't have my Trinity yet, but have you tried some of the 3rd party Button remappers that are available? Magic Button etc.

I got my Trinity last friday and am using a 2Gb MiniSD card and so far no problems with it. I feel no real delay when coming out of standby mode and no problem at all with the MiniSD card, maybe you got a early version of the ROM that contained this particular problems.
I do agree with you with the OK buttons, but i also understand the way they were designed, the button close to the jog wheel is to be used together with the jog wheel so that you can single handedly use the machine.
Lets see if someone suggests a good 3rd party tool to remap the buttons and then everybody is happy ;-)

I am able to get VC to work with call/answer button when using my Motorola headsets H300 and HS805. The phone needs to be out of standby mode ie screen needs to be on. I can't seem to get it to work with my R35 I.tech stereo wireless headset. I guess this could mean compatibility issues between headsets? Does the call/answer button work if you are not listening to music?

Yes...you're right...it does work when the screen of my trinity is on. But offcourse when listening to music the screen is gonna be off...
The button on the headset does activate voicecommand when device is on (ie screen on) and no music is playing. But i'd rather have it understand my commands like "what track is this" while music plays (without having to take out the phone of my pocket).
As for the button-mapping: i'm familiar with the buttonmappers out there, but another application on my trinity is just not what i need... Is there really no way to get to this functionality through the registry ? I've searched quite a chunk of the registry but gave up; i just can't find it...

Precisely: one handed operation... That's what i want, so i want the button next to the jogdial to be the ALT+TAB function (which is available through Spb PocketPlus)...so i want to be able to map this to whatever button i like, not just the 2 options HTC gave me... (i don't count press'n hold as an extra button).
I think it's quite ridiculous to have TWO buttons activating the startmenu, and have them hardcoded to that. What's the point in 2 buttons doing the same thing ?
Being able to change the 'Windows' button woukld also be a fine sollution...
Try AE Button Plus. Your solution will not lie in the registry.

Just tried, it works (AE Button Plus -> File -> Add button)
But i found a little bug, after i used it to swap Right Softkey and Start Menu Button, Start Menu Button works fine (changed to be Right Softkey) but for Right Softkey, no matter how i press it, start menu will not be shown !!!
Because, after i press Right Softkey, Start Menu Button event is triggered, but Start Menu Button is set to be Right Softkey by AE Button Plus, so at the end pressing Right Softkey will be regarded as pressing REAL Right Softkey rather than Start Menu.
The most strange thing is that such bug will not happen when pressing pressing Start Menu Button =.="
Any idea ? How to solve it ?
Thanks in advance

And pressing Camera button, the Start Menu Button event will be triggered. it seems that there're some bugs in "Add button" functions of AE Button Plus

Hi guys,
I'm too looking for a way to remap the startmenu-button for e.g. starting an application. No 3rd party software I tried so far is able to do so...
Any suggestion how to reassign the startmenue button to call a specific application?
Cheers

AEButton Plus maps all but the standby button...
... on my Wizard. Well, it doesn't touch the soft-reset, the camera gets funky when I try to map it, and I can't seem to move the vibrate function off the hold "Comm Manger" Key. Given I've got 50 different hardware button options, (or 37 added if I leave all the default functioning in place) with this nifty shareware (basically fully functional if you want to use it free forever), who cares about the dumb camera button (not in the count above).
My biggest problem is remebering where I mapped it all. My second is making decisions about how to map them.... :|| (that's a repeat sign in music-talk)
You gotta try it. I'd be curious to find out how it works on your hardware.

I haven't seen this question anywhere so i reckoned id ask..
I like to use my phone for listening to music but if you put it in your pocket id does all kinds of strange things - like opening PIE which starts a UMTS connection or it jumps to the next song..
I never use the videocall button on the phone, so why not map the built-in keylock to that one?
But does anyone know if this is possible/how to do it? can this simply be changed in the registry?
Thanks for any help.
I use vjay's device lock.
Get it here

Hi. thanks for the quick response.
Works like a charm =)
but now i need to map the exe to the videocall-button. any ideas?
I beleive that the Video call button is button 5 on the left side of your phone. I have an 8525 so that button is PTT. I think if you try load the PTT fix it may open that button up. I am not sure about this so it you try that you may need to do a hard reset to get back if it messes up your phone. So make sure you have a current backup to quickly restore from.
Where ca you find the PTT fix?

hi. thx. but that wont work. the PPT button is not the video call button. i could of course map it to another one.
I use a program called double launcher got it at handango. It allows you to assign up to 4 different programs to each HW button. I only use 3 per button but it's real nice. It's done by press, -- double press, -- press and hold, -- double press and hold.
Check it out I assigned the VJ device lock to double press on comm manager.
The Take-Call/Answer button appears to haveseveral functions:
It switches to the phone app (Good)
It answers an incoming call (good as prevents having to use the slide)
It dials the last number in the Calls list display (bad)
I keep finding that I double-press the button by mistake and end up dialling someone without intending to do so.
Is there any registry hack that can eliminate this last function. I have tried using Mobile Magic to assign the key to "switch to phone app" but then I can't use it to answer an incoming call which is a bit of a pain.
Or do I need to find an alternative dialler?
personally I find that disabling the green button from answering calls is a good thing - it means that you don't accidentally press it when taking it out of your pocket for example! you could try AE Button Plus and set long press of the green button to "press green button" and short press to "launch program" -> "phone" that way if you accidentally double-pressed the green button it wouldn't call the person, but would still load the phone dialer and could still be used to answer calls, just holding buttn instead of pressing...
Closest solution I can think of...
Sounded promising - thank you. Unfortunately I can't get a long keypress to generate an "green button press". I have decativated the usual long-keypress action but still no joy.
I even tried implementing a "double keypress" for answer but it only works sporadically.
Slider for Calling?

after my touch hd didn't make an international phone call of several minutes today from my pocket, I didn't realize how right were your words.
So, I unbinded the Green Phone Button with AEB Plus and I reassign "Key 1 (Press)" to act as Green Phone Button. From now only pressing for a while the talk/send button will actually call the dialer.
However, the most gentle touch on a contact in the default dialer will make a call... which most of the times really annoys. What would be really cool and solve many problems is to use a slider for making the phone call (not only for answering). I searched conscientiously in the forum and I found no solution.
An alternative solution would be to use other contact manager, like Yota Contacts, for example. But, having a slider for making a call would be so cool
My current device is the TYTN II (Kaizer) and I use the voice memo function extensively for note taking. I have customised one of my hard buttons to take me straight to recording voice notes. This only requires a one step procedure by depressing the customized button. Is it possible to do something similar with the Blackstone (HTC Touch HD).
Yes, I have this set up with AE button + to map the volume down button to a long press starts resco recorder (you could, of course, also use the voice recorder).
So, a long press on the volume down starts up resco for me.
Works just like on my old Tytn II.

Is it possible to record the other person's voice as well when using the recording function? I believe that due to hardware constraints it was not possible with the Tytn II.
Hi Cheesy Dave,
This setup presents me with the problem: I have to remove the phone from my ear (when involved in a conversation), switch the power button on (device switches off when call answered), long press on volume down button and then press record.
With the TYTN 2 I could record a reminder with a single push of an asigned button.
Any way around this?
Hi everyone,
I recently traded my HTC Touch dual for Leo, and so far I'm pretty impresed, and I really really like it. I've had it three days and charged it three or four times already, because I can't stop playing with that phone.
However, today I noticed the first thing that annoyed me, and it did so pretty instantly.
I was playing around in Sounds and notifications, and I enabled the hardware button click sound, (didn't enable the screen tapping sound), and noticed that most of the time the dialer would immediatly dial the last dialled number upon key press, the same effect as pressing the hardware pickup button twice very fast. After disabling the hardware button sounds, the issue was resolved, so I don't worry to much about it, but I'm curious if anyone can replicate this behaviour on his/hers HD2...
During all this playing with the dialer and accidently dialing numbers I noticed how I can't just select a number in the dialer, it automatically redials from my call list. So I never actually have to press that green "Talk" button, the call I select is just immediatly dialed. This is very annoying, als the context menu is only useful for the last call (or the first number on the list).
The dialer also 'quits to desktop' immediatly when I hang up by tapping the red end call button. No call summary? No need to close the dialer?
I was wondering abour your dialer behaviour: does is dial out on screen tap, or does it just select the number? How about ending calls?
Grtz
Lukas
Yes, I hate the dialler app. I only use it for dialling fresh numbers not in my contacts list, or my voicemail (press and hold #1#), otherwise I use the contacts app. The dialler does dial out on a screen tap and quitting the call returns me to the home screen.
So the "add new numbers to contacts after the call"-function doesn't work either? I assume it's a bug? I run v.1.48 , does the 1.43 ROM behave the same way? I didn't notice...
Thnx
Lukas
*bump*
Anyone running 1.43 ROM; is this behaviour same as on 1.48?
Hey guys,
I'm gonna bump it one more time.
Can someone with 1.43 take the 10 seconds it takes to check if they can select a call in the dialer without immediatly dialing it? If it's the same as on 1.48 I won't have to flash back to it and you'll save few hours of my time, which I would greatly appreciate.
Thnx again.
Lukas
I'm not sure what your on about, but if you mean when you press the hardware call button and the dialed list appears, if you want to open the caller you press the icon on the right hand side of the screen next to the callers/name number.
Tapping the name/number calls them.
This has always been the case in all ROM's not just Leo
I've had an HTC Touch Dual, and tapping the calls opened call history for that number, with left softkey being 'call'. Pressing the call hardware button would dial out as well.
Also, after pressing 'end call' my touch would display a call summary (call duration) and wouldn't quit to desktop immedietly so I had the time to dial another number as wel.
Thnx for answering tho... I appreciate it.
Grtz
Lukas
It's by design.
You can tap the card icon instead of the number and it will open the card where you can tap the number you want to dial. I think it was done this way by design. No problems for me, save me a few taps for a call and when I end it.
Lukass,
No such issue on 1.48 WWE.
However, the tapping sound disappears after the 1st press of the green button. It reappears after pressing a different button though.
