Map your call key to anything else and your end call key to "Power"

I tried this but it didnt work. I set endcall to power and call to camera but after reboot nothing changed.

Is your phone rooted?
Don't know, if your rom is pre-rooted with your rom.
What about trying a new rom? If you are using the rom mentioned in your signatur I think it's a bit outdated
Kann dir wärmstens das Rom von Typhoon ans Herz legen.
(Too lazy to translate this phrase to english =D).
Button remapper works fine with typhons rom. Also remapped call and end key button.

I am using imilkas Incredible Sense 1.1 and it wouldnt reboot after changing the buttons.
In button remapper i see endcall and call twice. So i changed it twice. endcall to power and call to camera.
There are anyway too many buttons shown in buttonremapper.
There are more then 30 while the hd2 has only 7 hard buttons.
Anyway i feel there should be an other solution. There must be more people out there using the hd2 as a phone (not only as a pocketpc;-) and having this problem.
Maybe some devs could have a look into this.
Most roms we are using are coming from a phone without hardbuttons for call/endcall so the slider is the only option to do so.
I am thinking of a disable_hardbuttons_while_incoming_call_update.zip
PLEASE, that would be so nice.

Any ideas?

Speaker phone button

Dear all
Is it possible to link this app to the "Speaker On" button that comes when you call or receive a call ? Maybe in the registry ? That would be great

Yeah that`s one solution. Only prob is sometimes it sticks the call on hold as well (not to mention a broken softbutton is a waste of space on the dialer screen).
Is the speaker on softbutton still broken in WM6?
i have a small application for WM5 smartphones (might possibly work on PPC too) that when you receive a call (pressing the green button), it will automatically turn on the speaker phone. But it has to always run in the background
I'm sure you could use skschema to create a watch and then activate the speakerphone.

Tweaks (i think)

Well i have the Telus version of the HTC Touch Diamond. And sadly enough it does not have a light sensor (for some stupid reason). So i was wondering if somone could make/find a tweak that could make it so when you aare in a call the screen would not become useless but you just have to put a bit more pressure than you would normally. Because my cheek always touched the end button and it pisses me off. So you would just have to push a little harder to press the end button.
Also i dont like how you cant use ringtones as SMS/TXT sounds. Well you can but it just plays till the ringtone is over. I was wondering if there is a way that you can make it so when you recieve an SMS/TXT than you all you have to do is either tap the screen wthout anything happening from pressing it(unless you press the message tab), or to touch the center button (cause its touch sensetive) also without anything happening.
anyone??
the second one is just a sugestion
the 1st is a request please

Use one of the cooked ROMS with the Phonelock Shade/Slider
As for the second request...could you please elaborate

Pretty sure he wants to stop the ringtone manually. As opposed to letting it play a full song of 3mins.
Dude, use the MP3 trimmer and trim an MP3 down and set that as your SMS tone. Thus no more verses and choruses, only a portion of the song.
To stop the sms ringtone, you can press the call end button, but it switch you to the home page if your doing anything on the phone.
Yes Dickenz
Thats what i want but i used the trimmer but i always use the main chorus of a song
and thats to long eveytime i get a txt
So i can just press the end button?

Wake up Legend with trackball?

Hi, do you have some news about waking up the Legend with the trackball? It is a little bit annoying to wake it up with power button and afterwards unlock the phone sliding your finger down. I am still searching for this feature across the internet.
If you will have some news or find a solution, please post it.
Nobody?

That's what I'm looking for too. Or anything else. Tap the screen and then slide unlock, or get rid of the unlock slide at all and use just power button etc etc. This HTC lock/unlock solution is just the worst one.
Hello,
I'm interrested in that too !
It is annoying to use the power button...
Any news yet ?
Thanks
hi yeah use No lock app
It simply disables the lock screen. Press the unlock/menu button just once and the screen turns on immediately.
I wrote a config file to unlock with menu and home button..
Trackpad button is different from others buttons! Kernel doesn't assign a code to trackpad.. I'm taking a patch from desire's forum and i'm trying to apply it to legend kernel..
instead of power button plus swipe, you can do power button plus menu button
i'm interested in this
Yes it works!
Root is needed and a kernel compiled by myself needed too..
(i add those patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703539 )
No root necessary!
I just randomly came across this... Downloaded a free app called "No Lock" (BoD ) which obviously removes the lock from the screen, but it also enables any button including the track ball, volume keys, menu, search... (you get the point) to turn on the phone screen. Its up to you guys but since there is no hardware button for making calls I dont really see any problem with pocket dialing - just no lock Also, there are programs to solve that such as chompsms which lets you do pattern lock to use it...and there are others to cover all apps too. Hopefully this helps someone.
Sorry - Just saw a few posts down the same thing was posted. I guess I wont completely erase mine tho since I evplain it a bit more if there are noobs reading.
I dont have access to the market right now, can someone kind enough upload the APK for No Lock?
i really really need a way to wake up my legend with a key other than power as it is acting funny.
thanks a lot in advance...
Go here h**p://m.umnet.com/DownloadIt.aspx?__ufps=199075
If it is not working go here:

Have fun...
Sorry for the **, but I can't put direct links as long as I have not 8 posts...
Here I have you the file... it is for free in the market anyway, so I am sure, that nobody minds me putting the file here...

Thank you guys! I really appreciate it
But unfortunately this doesnt work for me... I think on Froyo there is no way around this. as my power button doesnt always work im going to downgrade to 2.1 and then use a custom froyo rom with this ability or maybe just stick with 2.1 for the time being...
a little update on froyo!
it seems that when you are charging your phone and using a program to disable sense keylock you can wake up your device. so I think on froyo they have prevented other keys to have power and be active....

thats interesting and i can confirm thats how my phone is working too...i just prefer using any key to wake up so my power button doesnt die quicker than it would normally

[Q] Answering phone when taking out of pocket...

Hey guys, I'm running a Sense build (Phiremod's Ace build) and having a problem with the HTC dialer's answer/reject call slider. (note that this is a problem with any of the Sense builds - not picking on Phiremod's.)
I pocket carry my HD2 and since the Sense answer/reject is an up and down slider, i always wind up answering or hanging up the phone when I pull it out of my pocket.
Does anyone have any ideas to change the incoming call behavior? I know I can remove the HTC lock screen, but the answer/reject slider is apparently part of the dialer (which I love otherwise). I used S2U2 on WinMo, and have been digging around for an Android alternative. Is there any way to get the stock Android answer/reject slider (left to right) on Sense without losing the HTC dialer?
Thanks,
Ryan
+1. Have the same problem
+1, the sense lockscreen makes no sense. Unlocking in pocket, answering can be done just by looking at it from wrong angle...HTC must come up with something quick. Can't even call that a lockscreen
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
+1
happened a lot of time to me... I'm happy to know that I'm not alone...
Im not sure why HTC made the slide up and down like that it really doesn't make any sense. On the WimMo sense it slides side to side.
Count me in Big relief to see others with the same "challange". In my case it often answers call without me knowing it when its in my pocket.
+1
This is the only reason I avoid Sense. Phone upside down with the screen facing my leg is the only position that works (ie makes it easy to check the screen by pulling it out of my pocket). Unfortunately, that also declines every call I try to answer.
+1 !!! anyone?!?!
solution found!
OK i hope you guys see this - i found a solution -
just install this .apk, it presents a screen with two simple buttons (answer\decline) instead of having to slide. works like a charm no more leg\but answering declining calls
I had this problem also. Just go to system/app and you'll see htclockscreen.apk and htclockscreen.odex. You can rename or delete them but I just moved them to a folder within system/app so they're not loaded. Once done, reboot and you'll get the stock lock screen.
hey tnx mr_dilly, i actually know that, but even after going back to the stock froyo lockscreen, when getting a call you still get the htc answer\decline slide screen which is, as mentioned, crap..

Sorry, omricn. Overlooked that bit. I thought the slide to answer went away because I got the answer/reject buttons but apparently it changes once the phone is actually locked.
I use a android build without sense. Is there any app to unlock power button?
I often get a call while my phone is in my pocket and then accidently press my power button, so the call will be rejected.

are you sure the power button is the issue? how does your incoming call screen look like? it could be the same issue that i had, the slider responded to the insides of my pocket, i dont believe the power button is being pressed unless you're wearing very very tight pants
I don´t have a sense build.
I get no slider, only the answering buttons on my screen. But hardware buttons are working too. When i put my phone from my pocket i often touch my hardware power button and then the incoming call is ended.
I use proximity screenoff, so screen is blank and i can´t touch any button on my display. If i press power button, the incoming call is rejected.
I want to have a slider on my display and hardware buttons should be locked complete. Only answering a call with something on my display, but not with hardware button.
understood.. i'll be sure to let you know if i find a solution
Hi All!
The biggest problem with Sense in my opinion is the slide for unlock/answer screen. The engineer that came up with that design should get a serious *****-slap. Replacing the lock screen is fairly simple though, e.g by WidgetLocker. Replacing the slide (up/down) to answer is not that simple because it's part of the dialer, not the lock screen.
So if you like HTC sense and the sense dialer, I think you have to stick with the slide up/down for answer. I'm sure that some clever dev eventually will iron out the problem, but currently I see no solution.
Agree with every word..

What is new with Home Button Lag ?!

Hi ,
Any news regarding the home button lag ?
I don't mean the wake up lag, which is annoying too but it's hardware issue.
I mean the home button lag, which means any program I running, and pressing the home button, it takes something like 1-2 seconds to return to home screen !!
I know this issue has been raised 1000 times (!!!) and that is the exact reason I am talking about this, it's annoying so many people, so how could it happen that it hasn't been resolved yet ?!
This is 100% software issue , CM7 for example doesn't have that. But I don't want to use CM7 ....
I also have it and it drives me crazy.
Disable voice2go and the other parts of the samsung TTS thing, use titanium backup or something, you will need to be rooted.
As when you press the home button it is waiting to see if you are going to double press it to activate the voice control.

Did that, it doesn't help mate.
Oliwe has figured out a solution that requires some dev expertise:

I tried it myself and failed, but I'm sure ROM cookers will start implementing this ASAP.
Still a non issue
