[Q] Volume Buttons Performing as Up/Down - Touch HD General

My volume buttons doesn't work as expected. When I push volume up or down what I got is like an "up arrow" or "down arrow" in the phone. I can't set the volume because of this. I didn't do anything special, I use the energy rom. I did a task 29 and reflashed the phone, the problem persist.

Try installing AEB Plus which allows to to configure hardware buttons. See if this helps
p.s. I have moved your thread to General forum. Please post all Q&A in that forum and try to use the Q&A thread at top of forum

it's not a bug, it's a feature
here's what is found in the faq of the nrg rom faq:

Assigning Buttons

Okay, I can see that I can assign long-press Send and End keys, but I want to assign a function to the Back key (short press) - can it be done?
since i come from trinity - which had the scrolling wheel - I'd like to replace the volume buttons with "almost equivalent" functionality....possible at all? don't know...
I'm not sure that Volume slider has been mappable on any of these devices. Previously I used SPB PocketPlus to map buttons, but on the HD the poplists in the setup don't work so I can't try it...
I am currently using AEBPlus to assign the buttons.I was able to map volume up, volume down and ok buttons to various functions.But unfortunately I am unable to map the HOme button.Can anyone let me know how to assign some functions for HOme button using AEBPlus please?
regards
vijay
Brilliant! AE Button Plus works perfectly, OK=Back. I love this site...

You don't need to ask the same question wherever you go and also create a thread for that!
ok
i see what you mean. I just figured it might not get read if here at the end of an older thread... hehe you mods notice everything ;-)
Can someone tell me if AEBPlus could reassign the phone on and off buttons too? I would like to use these buttons for other purposes and just use the screen to operate the phone, if possible.

Could you explain how to configure to apply to on off button.
Aside from that, does someone know how to get "long" working?
It tried to give the "Back arrow" additional functions.
1,2,3 times work fine, but long does not.
Also what is the default action of "Back arrow"
I do not find it on the list? Which number
So I could configure 1 times with default action
and 2 and 3 with something else.
Home button on AE plus
Has anyone found the home button "name" in AU Button plus yet?
This thread mentioned the name for the "back"-button is "OK" in AE button plus and that does work. (except foor the long press option, that I could not get to work, but double tap works fine)

pzucchel, I'm with you! I've realised that I actually used the scroll wheel on the Trinity much more than the D-pad, so AE buttons is a godsend!
I've got volume up/down to become arrow up/down, but how about the Trinity press-to-select on the scroll wheel? I can't get the long press on the vol buttons to work otherwise it'd be perfect...
What version of AEBPlus are you using?
I installed AEBPlus 2.6.3 to enable turning the screen while pressing the volume up button.
This version is a 14 day trail version, there is however a freeware 1.0.1 version but that one is not officialy supporting the Blackstone.
Which version are you using? I find $14 a lot for changing the behaviour of one key...
AEButton will NOT stop working after 14 days, and all the functions you really want will still be there
What is the difference between trial and registered version?
Two things only:
1. Splash screen appears during device starting up.
2. "Action list" is blocked in trial mode

Good to know! Didn't see that when reading the website...
Anyway - is there an easy trick to assign the "volume up" pressed for >1 sec to rotating the screen to landscape (270 deg) and portrait?
/me is thinking of a registry tweak...
I just got a Touch HD and installed AE Button Plus and it works great for assigning different tasks for the button below the screen.
However I have not been able to find a which button in AE Button (if any) that corresponds to the Home button. Has anyone else here been able to assign any tasks to double-clicking the Home button?

OK, I can see that you want to push your own solution but as far as I can see it does not support the Home button either. Also it supports a lot fewer actions than AE Button Plus does.

Patience....it can take some time to get an answer, and you will win no friends by posting things like this. Also, there are MANY threads similar to this already.
I do not think it is possible to have the volume keys do one thing (track change) when the screen is off and another (volume) when the screen is on, but cannot say for sure.
That being said, something like what you are asking is possible. You can use a button mapping program like AE Buttons Plus (free, google it) to map a long press of your volume buttons to up/down arrows, and this will change tracks when screen is off. You can map single press of these buttons to volume up/down. Or you could do the reverse (single press change track, long press volume). Either way, the keys will always control volume in call.
I recommend messing around with various combinations until you get what you want. Also, try a search and see what others have done.
sry for that, wasnt meant to offend anyone!!! =/
and Thanks for that tip!
//EDIT
i just tried it now and it does work!
Hi
I am not entirely sure, but if you use S2U2 to lock your HD the volume keys will automaticely work as you wanted them to be as soon as you start your TF3D player and let the focus on it in TF3D. So in other words just start the player and lock the screen. Ready to go .
Hope you understand what I tried to explain. Best is, if you try it for yourself. Just search in the forum for the program S2U2.

No problem Just thought I'd let you know since you appear to be new. Good luck!
I have this function. I have slide to lock and AEBplue installed.
AEBplus I have set single click as arrow down and up and double click as volumn.
When it is on the music screen, one click of the volumn lets me scroll up or down when the screen is off...

AEB Plus....

Does anyone know if AEB works in the TP2 I'd very much like to change the buttons, I miss my scroll wheel and I'd like to make the volume rocker scroll up and down instead
Cheers,
DJ
I'd have made ONLY: 1 press volume button down to ''scroll down'' & long press same button to ''speaker vol down''. Same for volume button up.
I"d try make something with other buttons but unsucsessfull

Its very unstable with the other buttons...volume button I haven't tried.
Tried all buttons, but most of them won't work.
Volume works great for single-double-tripple and long, but that's about it.
Did not find any change in Menu-button or changes on phone buttons. I could not find the 'Button 1' on the device.
So, it was a great program for my qtek9000, it's almost useless for this one... I hope they will be able to get all buttons!
Besides, I'm hoping for someone to hack the zoom-slide to change it into 4 buttons... (eg. in this order: left-up-down-right so we might use AE to change those buttons)
I use the latest version on my TPro2 and it works like a charm.
No problems at all.

Does someone know, how to access this key
I'm using AEBplus on my HTC Touch2 aka Mega and would like to remap the key with an arrow to the left. See also the picturee.
Does somebody know how to do this. In the program I can't find it.

Forget AEB
Sorry to say that, but with this device, there is no need for AEB anymore.
Look for this App and be happy...;-)

Now the answer did come !!!
See here :
As for your question:
At least some of the HTC devices implements “back” button scan code to generic “Ok” button. So you could just try to re-define “Ok” in bplus settings list and see if it will work on “back” button.
There are 3 situations with buttons:
- button is already in list but could be named differently.
- button could be added via File -> Add Button in bplus settings menu.
- button is implemented on a driver level making impossible interception by application-level software like BPlus.
Regards
cimber
PS : the "back"- button is assigned on the HTC Touch2 like the "ok" - button in AEBplus

Volume button problems

Before pressing the volume button it would increase or decrease the volume and show the volume. But now whenever pressing it now it would just get to the volume screen and not increase/decrease volume, Have to manually use the touch screen to increase or decrease by sliding.
Also pressing ti twice it would just close the volume screen and highlight the clock or calender with a green background.
This is a problem whenever watching on youtube. By pressing the volume button the volume shows up on the left but it doesnt actually increase/decrease. Also the volume cannot be slided on this screen
just unistall valert!!!
it's known problem.
waiting for a fix!
The thing is, I dont have valert installed. I never even heard of valert
It's a bug in some custom ROMs (don't know, which one you use).
Maybe you can fix it using TopazKeyboardControl (great app) and reconfigure the buttons manually.

EDIT: Just installed The said application and mapped the volume up and volume down buttons, but they still give the problems above.
Try to install the Topaz vol cab:

@ Ksp4ce : Wanna know if you solved your problem with this ... ??

I have the same problem, has anyone figured out what fixes this?
FIXED
So I fixed my issue with this by uninstalling Chobit Smartlock

HD2 Volume rocker

I don't know what happened, but the up/down volume is not working as it was supposed to. Normally when you press one of the volume buttons, the volume level screens appears. Since yesterday, the up/down volume buttons are working as scroll up/down. I have already tryed to find in settings a way to configure it as before, but I couldn't. I just don't know to enter the volume level screen any more. Can somebody help me?
Thanks,
Daniel
I guess you tried soft-reset right ?

Yes, I did.
I had the same happen today, volume buttons would scroll and a "do your volume settings" popup would appear. But a soft reset fixed it for me.
Hardware defect then?

I have already soft reseted, but it didn't work. I don't want to hard reset it.
Nope definitely not hardware if the buttons respond. It's the software not doing what it should...

Did you by any chance install VoldDpad application (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552947), because what you seem to face is a feature added by this app.

No, I didn't. The only application I have installed is a XT9 dictionary. Actually its installation has failed and does not appears in the "remove programs". Maybe it has mixed something. Is that a way to configure the buttons again?
