Is there a way to easily adjust the volume using the wheel? Or do we have to get the stylus out :?
Cheers
Just tried SPB pocket plus but it doesnt have a volume indicator, just a control which doesnt show what the volume is set to!
any clues?
What is it that you want to do?
If you move the jogwheel during a call, you can change the voulme of the speaker...
OK, But do you know how to adjust the volume when not in a call without tapping the screen? is there a way to do this please?
probably clumsier than tapping the screen, but if you have both Spb Pocket Plus and MS VoiceCommand, you can issue commands for Volume Up, Volume Down, Volume Loop, and Mute.
You can also tapp on the Comm Manager button and toggle the between (preset volume), (vibrate), and (silent).
Is there a good screen tap recorder which works with the tytn?
I tried Vitobuttonmapper which does this but it messed up all my other button assignments! I just want to be able to assign the voicedialler press and hold function to bring up the volume bubble!
Anyone found a prog which will turn a screen tap into an .exe which will be assignable to a button?
Vijay?
Anyone??????
with aebutton plus 2.4.3 beta (its now in 2.4.4 beta), if you remap the "ok" buttons after adding it, you can select it in such a way (under "\options\restore volume slider\" select "if today is active").
Now in the today screen, when you press the ok button, the volume slider will be activated. You can then use he left right up/down keys to select the volume of choice.
However, upon capturing the ok button, i have to map the ok button to close active apps when pressed twice. Pressing it once, regardless of the program in the foreground yields nothing.
To minimize, i have the use the red phone button.
I use the following mortscript:
Code:
MouseClick 160,0
Sleep 100
MouseClick 160,200
In portrait QVGA.
There's a neater way with VJKeyPress as well, but I can't remember the settings right now
If necessary it'll be easy to turn this into a seperate app.

Hi Ikarus:
I am using Batterystatus V1.04.203 Beta4 build0218.
I meet a very strange problem with the "Devicelock on wakeup" function, I am using WM6, while I am selected this option, when I press "Power" button which suppose to shut down the pannel,I saw pannel shut down and then immeditely turn on with "Screen Locked"!,i have to press "Power" button again to shut down pannel.
I didn't select the option for "Lock if display is Off and vice versa" and "black fix for 10s-bug".
The right behavior suppose to be: Shut down pannel after press "Power" button and press "Power" again to wakeup device and shows last menu with "DeviceLock".
Can someone tell me how to remove the devicelock for first pressing "Power" button? thanks a lot.
hm.. have a look at the intro-message of BS-Thread. There you can see something with DeviceLockOnWakeup..
Create under BatteryStatus-Registry-Key (see manual) a DWORD with name DeviceLockOnWakeup and value 1,
that is DeviceLockOnWakeup = 1
Enter the options and leave them. that's it.
Hi ikarus:
Great, it works, Thanks a lot!
I was messing around the button settings, and it seems like the the only button that can do "press and hold" is button 5.
what I would like to do is program the side "ok" button to press to lock, press and hold to unlock. Any registry gurus or savvy hackers here know if this is possible?
TIA
The Mogul comes with the option of using the power button as a "lock" for the other buttons. You can choose when the device is off to only respond to the power button being pressed.
I think what he is looking for is a button method of initiating the "device lock" application that can be added to the Today screen.
The problem with just using the power button is that if you accidentally press the power button then all the other buttons and screen will work. He's trying to actualy lock the device with a button.
you are almost right ebmorgan, except that you CAN map a button to <lock device> under settings-->buttons, but you CANNOT map a button or map the press and hold button to <unlock device>.
I tried AE button plus, it gave me a lot more options button wise, but still doesn't have a <unlock device> function built in.
My bad....I didn't notice you said "unlock". I was think of locking.
spb software makes a program called "SPB Mobile Shell" and can be found here http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en
This does exactly what you want! The left softkey will lock the device, and the right softkey will unlock it, instead of hitting cancel on screen or the * key.
Although i run this program, but not this option, is because of the "now screen." Which comes up no matter what, when you wake up the device or unlock it, which kinda sucks for what i want.
anyhow, if it's cool for you, then get it and enjoy!
go into the Now screen settings in mobile shell. You can uncheck display now screen box.
The question remains... is there a way to map a program to the "ok" key on the side of the Titan? It really doesn't do anything and its not in the button options. It would also be nice to have the hold option available to the other keys.
Yep, you can uncheck the display now screen box, but then you won't be able to make the right soft key unlock the device, it goes back to "press cancel or *"

Me too! I'm looking for a tweak that will unlock my device by press-and-holding a button. The default 2-step unlock of Windows-Mobile is so annoying especially during bright outdoors.
S2u2 doesn't work for me because you need to swipe the screen to unlock which is bad for less sensitive screens. And it doesn't have transparency so it covers the current app.
In AE Button Plus I only could assign the two phone buttons. What about the "Home Button", "Back Button", "Calendar" and "Contacts"?
The back button can be assigned. Assign things to the "OK-button" i AE Button Plus to assign it to the back button.
Great! Thank you very much.
Hi, here is a reply on AEB Plus compatibility with the HD direct from the developer:
---------------------------
Hello David,
Thanks, it is always nice to know if you find this utility interesting
As for your question: yes, BPlus is compatible with HD as well as any other PocketPC 2k3 / PocketPC 2k3SE / WM5/WM6/WM6.1 devices.
The problem I know on Touch HD:
- Home key may not be remapped due to driver implementation
- Long keypresses are not detected in BPlus for green/red keys and “back” button (button driver limitation).
- “Back” button corresponds to the “Ok” in button list so you will not need to add it via File->Add key but just re-define “Ok” button instead
- Backlight controlling will work in next BPlus release (should appear this week)
Anyway – just try and install BPlus to check if it will suit your needs before buying. It have very few “demo” mode limitations...
Regards,
Alexander

all keys except home key works great on mine
By "all keys" you mean:
- left phone key
- back key
- right phone key?

Don't forget the Volume Buttons (long-press DOES work for those two)
Hi guys,
I played around with AE Buttons for a couple of hous last night and here's my experience:
- Volume up/down - Work like a charm.
- Home buttom - Can't be mapped.
- Back key - Didn't realize it was mapped to the Ok button. I tried it out tonight. Works fine, but I'm not sure what action should I put in the single press configuration to preserve it's normal function. "Ok/Close" a suppose. Can someone confirm, please ?
- Green/Red phone - work fine in single, double and triple press
- Green phone long press is mapped by the driver to a virtual button called "Button 1(Hold)" (It's just at the top of the AE Buttons list) and by default launches the voice dial program (this is defined in the Settings/Personal/Buttons/Program Buttons)
- Red phone long press - This is a tough one. This button can't be captured unless you set "Lock device" in Settings/Personal/Buttons/End key. In this case it generates a key code and you can record it as a new key in AE Buttons. There's a catch though. When you map an action to single press, Lock program is no longer executed. Your selected action is executed, but immediately after that the device goes to the today screen as if you have pressed the Home button.
- Power button - Can't be mapped at all. I wish this was possible. I wanted to make long pressing the power button to soft reset the device directly.
Hope this info is useful. It took me a couple of hours and A LOT of soft resets to try all the possible combinations

I encountered the below problem.
After receiving or making a phone call, the button did not work for around 5 minutes. Instead of move the arrow up or down, it turn the volume up/down. After that the button work again as what I had configured.
Anyone having the same problem?
Regarding the back key. I have this not mapped for one touch, i.e., normal OK operation, and for double press I have it rotate the screen.
I don't like gsen and the gyrator - great apps but I just don't need them always there.

I have this problem too! Any solution to share?
That's weird - I have just tested and all the AEB Plus assignments worked before a call.
After a call the volume assignments I have (1 press = arrow up/down, 2 press = volume up/down, long press up = flash lamp, long press down = resco audio) don't work. All the volume presses just revert to the volume operation.
I also have the back/OK key assigned to screen rotate for double press. This works fine after the call.
So, status now is not working right - I'll wait and see if it fixes itself (!!) with a few minutes.

I found the fix. In AEB + there is a set of options. One of these is the "restore volume slider" - by default this restores volume control to the phone app. It appears not to reset it back after.
I have just turned all these "restore volume slider" options off and now AEB Plus works as it should (or as I expect).
Thanks for the fix!
I shall try it tonite!

I just tried it and it doesn't work. I guess it's a bug and need to be fixed by the developer. Hmmmm, just suprised that no one really notice this bug.
Same bug on volume up. I assigned 1P for standard function and 2P for WiFi toggle. Well after the first or second use, it looses mapping. To have it to work again a soft reset is needed...

I'm glad this is working for some.
But, I got an email from the developer (who is very quick to respond to emails) that said he is aware of a fault with the phone interaction and has not been able to replicate it.
Removing the volume slider option for the phone might work (as it did for me) but it seems that the intermittent fault probably will remain.

Glad that it work for you (so envy, hehehehe) and thanks for the email to the developer.
Wondering why some HTC HD working (removing the volume slider option) and some not (like my case )
The program "Black me 1.4" seems to be able to lock all keys and leave the D-pad (round center key) unlocked. You can turn on the screen by clicking the D-pad but the only thing is that you always have to close your application's screen every time. Is there a way to not get the the programs screen every time you click on the D-pad to turn it on?
And maybe with this feature of being able to disable all keys with the exception of the D-pad, this could be a great idea for creating a Selective key lock. On WM, under Settings, you can find "Key lock" and then you only have 3 options:
1) Lock all buttons except Power button
2) Lock (all) buttons if device is locked
3) Do not lock buttons
Maybe you can add the option of: Lock all buttons except D-pad and Power button.
That could be cool
Also the volume up and down could be added as exceptions, so if you have it in your pocket you can silence it without having to turn it on and then nobody sees you do that.
Thank you!
