How to disable auto-redial via talk key on HTC Mogul?

Hi Everyone,
I would like to disable the redial capability of the green talk key on the front of my Mogul. Specifically, I would like to avoid accidental re-dials when my Mogul is bouncing around my briefcase. I have case for my Mogul, but it doesn't protect the talk key. Therefore, I simply want to disable the redial capability of the talk key, but still (hopefully) be able to answers calls by pressing it.
Any ideas?

Use a program to lock like S2U2. I would not do that reg hack to my phone.

Just turn on the keylock from your control panel. It'll lock all buttons except for the power button, but the call button will still work for incoming calls.

I'm with you. I would like to disable the redial also.
I'm currently using the 'lock' function and VJDeviceLock to automatically lock it.
S2U2 has 'holes' in it and I would still get redials. Plus it is a bit of overkill for what I needed.

Yes, that works, but for me the danger is after I've hung up and am still using the pda functions... one false double-tap of the green button and it's star-69-ville.

In-Call volume control / changing doesn't work

Hi,
I have the problem that I can't change the volume of the speaker during a call. I have installed the most recent version of s2u2, AEButtuns (but without changing the volume buttons) and tf3d disabled. In s2u2 the "Volume control" is enabled. Volume control works when not in a call for the phone and the system volume, but not during a call, so i can't make the other party more or less loud. When i press the volume button in a call, the volume screen briefly pops up, but the value doesn't change, pressing the volume button again makes the control screen disappear (similar behaviour like the system volume control when volume control in s2u2 is disabled)... has anybody similar experiences and maybe a solution?
regards jan

Have You Installed Any Program Like Touch Response Or Vibration Feedback?
I Had Same Problem
After Unistall It All Ok!!

no, i haven't...
however, i have installed spb phone suite, pocket plus and mobile shell... but i can't remember when the problem occured the first time... in between i also tried phone weaver and phone alarm, but i have uninstalled both...
any more ideas?
regards jan

I think, its S2U2:
You have to set "Don´t use the keyboard hook" at the S2U2-Settings to "ON" and the S2U2-Volume-Control to "OFF" -then all works perfect!!!

For me, it works

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

The new v1.37 of S2U2 fix this problem:

Hi folks,
found another possible reason (but unfortunaly no solution yet) for in-call volume control not working... as this thread mainly focuses on s2u2, i've opened a new one here
regards jan

its nothing to do with s2u2. the in call volume is part of the hd dialer and when using the wm6 dialer, this feature is disabled. This is the same for pocket guard when not using the hd dialer. There is a cab somewhere that will diable the hd volume and revert to wm6 volume control. when i installed this the volume could be changed in call but messed up the font on all keyboards.

Prevent "answer" button from dialling

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?
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)

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

Slide to mute??

Hi, I looking for a modyfication, when i have incoming calls on screen is slide to answer or ignor and button to mute. How to change this button to slide to mute or disable this button?

"Mute Ring" not working - possible fix

The "Mute Ring" soft button on the incoming call screen was not working on my HD2.
It turned out to be that I was using PocketShield and had the "Block Hardware keys" enabled on the "Incoming Call" section of the "Phone" tab. Disabling this feature allowed the "Mute Ring" button to work.
Just though to mention this if anyone else is having this problem and are also using PocketShield.

It is because the Mute command on the HTC dialer is tied to a hardkey press event (volume key, it shouldn't but it is). So if you tell PS to block volume keys on incoming call those events will be blocked, the HTC Mute button will not make any effect.

So there is no way to block the "Send" button from answering a call AND allow the "Mute" button to work?

Sure, at PocketShield Settings > Phone > Block hardware keys > +

any update?
