Has any one else had issues where you end up putting someone on hold because of the on screen hold button? This has happened to me multiple times and was wondering if there is a way that it could be moved or possibly had to hit menu first.
In the base CM5, you can disable the TouchUI call screen in settings to make this problem go away.

Does anyone know if there's any type of hack to enable a different button on the Cingular 8525 to be the power on button? Being right-handed, when I pulll out the phone, it's annoying to have to use 2 hands to turn on the phone. I have the AEBPlus program but it only lets you assign a different button to power "off" the phone. I'm looking for a way to program a button on the left-hand side (possibly button 5 [ptt button] or the Windows button [labeled "ok] to power on the phone). Anyone have any ideas?
I guess no, power buttons on almost devices is connected directly to procesor (like reset button and watchdog circuit), and in fact if device is off, no system loaded, there is no way to adjust registry settings to change this.
might sound stupid, but you can try to hold the phone differently? i operate the phone with both hands (am right handed) and either way, you can power on/off the phone with 1 hand.
if holding it in the left hand, use your left hand's index finger wrapped around the back of the phone.
if holding it in the right hand, use the thumb of your right hand.
i know it isn't the solution you were looking for, but it might help
Yeah, I figured that I could do that. It's just that when I wrap my hand around like that, i have a tendency to push out the keyboard and then I have to go back to 2 hands anyway.
In using AEBPlus (or even the default commands under the "buttons" settings) and it wouldn't be so bad if I could figure out a way to get the screen to come back on. But even when I try and set one of the buttons on the right to "screen on/off" it will turn off the screen but won't turn it back on. I'm not talking about a powering on/off of the phone. I'm just talking about a way to turn on/off the screen.
never mind. I figured it out. I had the "key lock" set to the fact that the only button that would turn on the device (if the screen was off) was the power button. I fixed that. Now I'm good to go.
Somehow my OK button on my 8525 (just above the END button) now brings up the volume settings. I want it to act as a BACK button like it did out of the box. I was going to set everything back to factory settings since I have probably installed some junk playing with the device so much, but maybe somebody can tell me an easier way to fix this?
Basically, it is as if the top volume button is held down, and the volume is continuously going up on my HD, even when I try to turn it down, it shoots back up again, and is stuck on the volume screen. Sometimes, if I turn it down to silent, it will stay silent for a few seconds, then the volume goes up again and keeps going up.
Really annoying as it means the phone is basically unusable as I'm pretty much always trapped in the volume screen!
Any ideas?
I would suppose that a button is stuck!
Take of the back cover and take a good look at the buttons to see if anything could be wrong!

That's what I thought, but it looks fine to me
I had the same problem as you but I then realize that when I was putting down the volume while in a conversation was my face pressing the screen and increasing again the volume...could it be your same problem?

Nope, because it happens if I don't touch the phone and just leave it on the table
Have you tried a hard reset?
Do a backup first.
Turn off the phone. If you can't pull the battery out.
Hold the volume up + down at the same time then press the power on button for about 1 second. Let go of the power button while keeping the volume up and down still pressed down.
You should see a blue / green / red screen then just follow the instructions on screen.
If this doesn't solve your problem then most likely something is keeping your volume up button depressed internally. Take it back for repair...
The volume slider malfunctioning is a big one on HTC devices known issues. I've had the same problem with my elf....and I've seen plenty that do too. Your best bet would be to take it to an authorized service rep. Sucks I know
Try to remove the cover and use it... the pressing mechanism is on the cover...

Tried that, still the same problem.
I'm going to try a hard reset today, if I still get the problem, going to ask Orange to replace it. I wonder if they'll let me pick another phone, I'm getting a bit fed up with the HD!
I have the same problem, it occurs randomly and I discovered that if I quickly press the power button to stand by the phone and press it again to exit from stand by, the volume bug disappears and phone starts working well again. I thought it was a software bug but I still have it on 1.19. It rarely happens now on 1.13 was more frequent.
Some of you have probably seen some of the mods in the Hero Development forum and have applied them. One thing that I have noticed, or that I thought was a really cool mod was removing the end call button from the screen - mainly because it can hang up an important call if you face dial (not a problem I currently have, but the 1 time it happens can be devastating)...another mod that is really cool is remapping the hard keys (menu, search, back, home, vol up and down). I have already utilized the mod to allow my search button to control play/pause of media files without waking the phone up.
To the point: Yesterday, I was looking through the remap mod to find out if there is a way to map actions to hard-press buttons, in looking for that, I found that there is an option for Power. Now, as many of you know, the Hero does not have a power button to turn the screen off when in a phone call - that is what the Power option does - turns the screen off WITHOUT hanging up on the person you are talking to. Now, the only way to end the call is to press the End Call button on the dialer...kind of hard to do if you removed the button LOL...so for anyone doing mods, save your work, you never know when you will have to go back...I deleted the backup files because I thought I was done with modding the dialer/phone.
Hope this helps someone.

Yup, nandroid FTW. Curious, did you get it fixed? Or are you also asking for assistance?
Havent fixed it yet, though I could just send the keylayout undoing the power button for now. In the end, I will have to add the end call button back because I am really liking the ability to turn the screen off without hanging up. I just cant remember what I did to do the mod, if I actually removed lines of code or commented them out. It is JsChiSurfs mod, but because the files posted were old, I edited my file with his method...looks like it is apktool time.
Edit: I should point out that with the mod, pressing the end call button on the dialer isnt the ONLY way, even though I said it was. You could also reboot the whole phone - currently what I have to do now for those that dont terminate the call. JOY!
Oh my!!!!! I always wanted to find a way to turn off the screen while on a call. Please, please, please find out how you did it.
The thread by Decad3nce is Here. You basically change
Code:
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
to
Code:
key 107 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
Hell yeah!!!! That's what I'm talking about.
I noticed this the other day, but figured it was just a fluke thing......I've now made about 10 calls on my OnePlus 2 and when I'm finished with my call, I don't have a hang-up button! I have to hit the home button, then swipe down and choose "Hang Up" from the little window there. Doing this is a quite a chore because the sensors detect when the phone is by your face and shuts off the screen, so when I try to touch my screen it will shut off the screen. I eventually get it, but it sometimes takes about 30-45 seconds to end my call doing it this way.
Am I missing something? Is one of the softkeys (on the phone) now the hang up button?
u have to press the dialer keys button and it will minimize and reveal the round, red end call button. yes, kind of strange. but u can also set your power button to be an end call button i believe.

Thanks!
But, something weird just happened.... I lost my "clear all recent's" and read if you boot into safe mode, that will fix it..... So I booted into safe mode and it fixed my missing "clear all" X......But it also seemed to have changed the behavior of my dialer??!!?! Now, I have the red hang-up button that shows all the time (like it should).
So it just sounds like it's a little buggy still?
