Jas-Jar Light Button

Any ideas on how to get the light button working on a jas-jar. Mine has not been working since the start and I've tried everything. The button Im talking about is the first from the right close to the infrared port on the outside of the device. It is supposed to turn on the flashlight but when I press it nothing happens and it doesnt even show up in the buttons applet in WM5.

Actually that button doesn't turn on the flashlight, though some here have tried to come up with a hack so that it would. I don't know if they were ever successful with that.
That button turns on the screen backlight when it has timed out but your device is still turned on. It's not the most useful button, which is why folks were trying to come up with a hack to make it more useful, for instance to turn on the flashlight like you wanted to.
Maybe if someone has had success, they will chime in here.

Change the button
Attached is a cab file allowing you to make use out of the light button to anything else :lol:

When yuo say anything else, does that include controlling the flashlight? Either way, thanks for the file.

Would be nice if one could assign it to turn on the keyboard backlight.
There is no option to adjust the sensitivite of the light sensor for the keyboard, and i think that it kicks in way to late.
Find my self holding the finger over the sensor and hitting a button to make it light up.
Any one aware og a possible Reg Hack to make this option appear in the Assing Button list?

Nope i know that :wink: thats why i'm asking if anybody knows of a hack or the whereabouts of such an exe file..... Any ideas??

why dont u just change the option in the settings\buttons\backlight and take the tick off the box, and it works like a charm. everytime u press a key it lights up, sorted, and it doesnt affect the battery at all really

@Elmo
Well i didn't use that choise because i don't have any car charger yet. (Waiting for the Brodit kit)
I want to preserve as much battery as possible.........as you already know, this baby can eat your battery pretty fast............

Is this the same as changing it manually on the registry?

Yes, it's my CAB file I posted a little while back that adds a registry entry so that you see it listed as "Button 5" in the Buttons setting applet.

Isn'it available for the Wizard too ? ...

I wrote a very simple script that turn on the camera and press the flash button.
I use the flash key and ms voice command to start it
you need to have MortScript installed. (include with this package)

A very simple question from a new owner -- where are the buttons defined that are assigned in Settings - Buttons? I don't see them labeled as "Button 1", etc in the User Manual.

On your HTC Universal, go to:
Start>Settings>Buttons
From there you can change the assignments of the buttons.

Ok. I have found the 2 keyboard keys that are buttons 1 and 2, and the 2 external buttons that are buttons 3 and 4.
I must say that button 1 is not very useful for voice command, when the device is closed. I guess I could assign it to button 4 or button 5 with the registry hack.
On the supplied "headset", there is a microphone with a button on it.
- What does that button do?
- Is it possible to use it for Voice Command?
(I guess for that to happen, it first needs to be recognised as an assignable button in WM5).

The backlight button cab file is working. Now I can reassign that useless button becomes the OK button. Very useful when use it in the tablet mode. But I need two more buttons to use for the softkey. I have use the record button for the left softkey and have no more button for the right softkey. Any suggestion?
One more thing, the script for enabling the flash light does not work. It turns on the camera, but the flash light remains off.

change JogWheel behavior

Hello,
Just got my TyTn and got a question.
If i got a long email (about 34k just plane text) this is a lot of text.
With my tytn and the jogwheel it is possible to scroll down a page (or scroll up a page of course)
I was wondering, is there a way to make this shorter, so that the jogwheel doesnt schroll a complete page, but a half a page or maybe just 3 lines.
When i read a complete page the backight of my tytn turns dark.
Reminder: i do not want to change the settings in backlight! this is exactly the way i want it, but when i scroll more often the backlight stay on.
Please help
I hope it is possible.
Paul

Been playing around with my new TyTn also. I'm about to install all the software I had on my Wizard, when I was using my Wizard, Tweaks2k2 had an option for smooth scrolling, I'll see if it will change anything.

Make sure you turn off the volume adjustments that are assigned by default to Button #4075. After doing this my buttons function normally allowing me to call the start menu from the side button and the volume calls are eliminated.

I use the latest AEBPlus. If you use the add button function you can add the OK buttons and retain the start menu actuation via the side OK button while making those buttons actually close applications.

Under Options>Volume Adjustments make sure all entries are NOT checked.

Hmmm, strange. i can't seem to find that option under options. We are talking about options in AEBplus right? Only thing that says volume on it is "restore volume slider". Is this the one I should uncheck all items?
Thanks for helping out dude.

That's the correct name. I was coming from my memory. There are three options in there make sure none are checked.

Thanks for helping out aadadams. Still having problems though. After a while the windows button won't open start menu and neither will ok button on the side of Tytn. Too bad, I really liked the function to be able to really close programs with hardware ok button.

Not entirely related but similar, I was wondering whether it is possible to get the scroll wheel to scroll quickly through the contacts list using the 'big letter' lookup? I know of a couple of people who say the phone has randomly done this for them but they can't figure out how.

I do not have a problem with the side button. When pressed while on the today screen it launches the start menu. How are your buttons mapped? Have you assigned multiple functions to these buttons that fail over time?

Nope, only thing I've done is add button and pressed ok hardware button. Then I mapped it to close active program or whatever the term is.
It shows up as button 4075 I think.

Wierd, I did basically the same thing with that button but I remapped several others to extend their fuunctionality. I have never had that happed. My next question is what other apps are you running especially immature apps that may cause the conflict.

Hmm, not running that much else. Wisbar advance and pocketbreeze. That's about it.

I do not use Wisbar apps and sine it does make changes to native start and ok functions it could be the problem. Run without it for day or so and see what happens.

With only wisbar and no aeb+ everything has been ok, will uninstall wisbar and try only aeb instead.

How to deactivate volume button(s)?

I seem to be changing the volume of my Topaz by accident way too often. Does anyone know how I can deactivate the up/down button on the side of the phone completely? I never use it (other than by accident) anyway.
I would prefer a change in, eg, the registry. Want to avoid having to install some other tool that consumes memory.
Cheers

I couldn't find the keys but Tarkim's Topaz Keyboard Controller can be installed to your Stoarage card and works great.

Yep. With AE Buttons Plus you can assign Hardwarekeys (like Toggle Volume). Its free.

You can also just press the vol buttons and it has a vibrate/silent button on screen - fair enough it involves 2 presses not 1 but at least it works!

Turn off side buttons

Hi guys, I'm having troubles with one of the functions of the volume buttons on the side of the phone. When the phone is locked and someone rings me when I press either up or down I put the phone in silent - I want this thing off, it is pretty easy to accidently press it and miss a call - I did it a lot! Any help, please?

Take this one "AE Button Plus" : http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Regards
cimber

Thanks, mate! Is this program confirmed to work on touch2? I've read somewhere that it can mess all of my buttons if it is not designed for my device or something like that.
EDIT: Okay it works, but is there any app or registry that can allow me to turn off only the function "Mute" when someone is ringing? This things shuts down the buttons completely and I don't have a volume control when I'm in the windows

It works on my Touch2 perfectly !
Just a hint, I have only disabled the "volume-up" button. If you press "volume-down" first, then "volume-up" works as usual !

hello,
I have a very similar problem (using Touch2, T-Mobile, German version), although in may case the Volume Up button seems to dismiss the call (the caller is rerouted to my mailbox).
What I want is: simply deactivate the Volume Up button when the device is locked.
I read much about AE Buttons Plus, however I also read much about this app using up battery, and I don't want that. I really ONLY need this single feature, so I don't want to use a bloated app which cooks coffee, washes my cloths and so on... you know what I mean.
Anyone knows how I could do that? Is there a reg key or a tiny app just for this?
Or can anyone at least tell me how I can use AE Buttons Plus without the battery draining?
cheers,
Saiba
