Record Button not working :-(

Hi All,
I have a problem with my record button my my XDA II, when I push the button nothing happens....
I have tried changing the program that launches and it works 100%, for example if I say load up notes when pushed it loads up a new note.
But if I say load up recorder it does not load it up, nothing happens... I don't like using notes for recording as it is recorded in a note file and I can't get the recording out to a wave file....
I also liked it that when holding the button it automaticly use to record so you did not have to use the sylus at all...
Does any one know how I can fix the problem I am having?
I know I can asign to load up "Note" and then just close the not hit the Tape looking Icon then hit the record button and it will do the same thing but would be great to get it working back the way it should be...
Many thanks in advance!!!

I found out that it was Battery Pack Pro 1.01 that was causing the problems, as it was using its own "Power Buttons"... Turned off it's "Power Buttons" option and every thing seems to work 100% now

great!
fudgebottom you are great!!
i was just loosin my mind!!
thank you!
let's hope that battery pack's team resolve this bug!
ciao

Turn Off Phone but Keep Music Playing

With some WM6 ROMs, one can turn the phone off and keep WMP playing. The DOPOD ROM acts this way but the BA WM6 and the Sprint WM6 Titan shut off WMP when the phone is turned off.
Does anywone know a hack or have a .cab to keep the music playing when the phone's turned off?
Thanks

in the forums there was devicelock cab which can just lock the device and turn off the screen which prevents the working programs of closing

Just a small trick for you guy, without having to install any new software or cabs, but using your current WMP:
1. Turn on your WMP,
2. Go to Menu / Options
3. Chose tab Buttons (at the end to the right)
4. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see "Toggle Screen"
5. Select "Toggle Screen" and click Assign button.
6. Press any arrow button (up or down, as right and left are assigned to Previous and Next already) to assign to this function (I chose "up").
7. OK and done.
Now when you play WMP, you just need to press that button and the screen is totally off.
Enjoy listening! Cheer!

There is a little trick to it
Just keep your WMP playing and do not minimize or toggle back to Today Screen or anywhere else. Jus keep WMP your active program and then press I/O button jus once, your PPC will get off, but you should know thats only the backlight thats getting off. Yep if you want more than your backlight to get off, proceed with the tweak as someone is hinting here. But why tweak your PPC?

Install GS Player and make a hot key for "display off & lock".

put slide to unlock and set it turn off with backlight.
minimize wmp.
wait backlight to off or run s2u.
it turn off ur screen without pausing the wmp and also lock the device so u can put it in cover or pocket.

WMP Playback in Standby
ever tried to use this regkeys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"UnattendedPlayback"=dword:1
"FastCacheReserve"=dword:800000
"LocalCacheReserve"=dword:800000

it means turn off screen, not phone. there r so many software can turn off screen: pbar, pocketplus...

Thanks guys. I'll try some of these out. My BA is working great with WM6.

I tried this but it didn't work. Thanks anyway. Any other ideas? I notice that on my hermes, there are similar registry settings. It works on the Hermes. But not on the BA or Kaiser

Instead of WMP...
You should try PocketMusic... it's much better than WMP... aside from what you want to happen...
it has a graphic equalizer... a Bass booster... an alarm option... and i think a better playlisting...

REQ: Turn display off (not suspend device)

I did some searching but wasn't really able to find a way to do this...
I'm wondering if there is an app somewhere I can easily assign to a button or shortcut that will turn off the display of the device while having it remain on...
Like in Resco Pocket Radio.. you can click "display off" and it just turns the display off but still plays... this would be nice as a stand-alone app for the ones that dont have it included.. such as Media Player.
Anyone have a link to one or know if this exists anywhere currently?
Thanks

is this it?

you could try this little screensaver application from phmtools.
just place the exe somewhere on your device, and run it to blanck screen. Press central 'enter' button to get screen back.

Try deltalock too. It's quite flexible and worked with my Tomtom when nothing else did.

If you look at MediaPlayer options (from the player screen Menu->Options...) you will find a Button tab.
There you will be able to bind an hardware button to "Toggle screen" action.
There is no need for external progs.

thanks for all the suggestions.. I use HTC Audio Manager/LobsterTunes mainly and couldn't find anything in either of those apps to do it...
I did discover that QuickMenu has an option to turn off the screen though.. the app continues to amaze me, I didn't even know that feature was in there!

He he he ! Turn off faceplate generally different from faceplate On-hook when listen to music.
Thanks for little but very interested software

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?

S2U2 problems on Omnia 2, Not everything works properly

Hi there! I have a problem with S2U2 on my I8000 Omnia 2. I installed it, and tried it. It's a cool program, but the call screen is not working to me.
----------
I also have new problems with S2U2. smile.gif I don't care about the sliders anymore, I was turned all off. But when my phone rings, and I press the answer button, the phones keep ringing and not do anything. I can't accept calls with S2U2. Is this a known issue or someone have an idea how to fix this? Or I should use an other app like S2U2?
----------------------
This messages copying modoco.

Try the latest S2U2 Release v2.30, works like a charm on my Omnia2.
Make sure to select RawBuffer as Graphics Mode. (Setting is located at Advanced S2U2 Settings page)

S2U2 was a real pain in the ^ss up until v2.30.
I haven't had any locking issues with the new version, but some serious battery drain have been spotted. I don't mind, since I have chargers at the car, the office and any other place I need it.
It takes like 13% percent of battery overnight when the phone sleeps.
Without S2U2 I can navigate with GPS for an hour for around 10%.

i am facing one serious problem when using S2U2.
original Samsung Omnia2 alarm does not work properly under S2U2.
sometime alarm ring properly. but sometime, only a very short "beep" then it stopped.
this happened especially during alarm in Snooze.
anyone know how to tackle this problem?
thank you in advance

I am using WM6.1 and problem with s2u2 (LATEST) is that while it locks the screen nicely, it leaves the ans/end hard key exposed. This creates problem when I accidentally press them while taking phone out of the pouch. For that I had to have other arrengements as mentioned in this forum. If you had no such issues, then your OS must be of a different version. I hate machine specific softwares.

Not true
Out of all HTC snobs here at XDA, A_C is the one who really cares. V2.22 was blazinly fast updated to V2.24 because of dimming issue on ... thats correct - Samsung Omnia II devices. So talking about device-specific software about S2U2 is so wrong and unfair.

I am facing a different problem with S2U2..
When I am listening to music through Touch Player, the song gets paused as soon as S2U2 activates, then I have to press the lock key and then the song plays again
When S2U2 is not running it plays the song flawless..
Any settings I need to change..?

But at the end of the day, it is not locking the ans/end lock keys which is a problem
Ps: I hv never owned an HTC

No need to use S2U2 now, I am using TouchLockPro, much much better, no more secondary gesture when power on, also the app is fully utilizing the G-sensor and the light sensor.

I had the same problem that was very annoying and some of the above too...The main reason I wanted s2u2 was because I didn't want the hardware key button answer call to be enable.Sometimes I was answering calls without knowing it because it was in my bag and with all the stuff in it the button was pushed by itself...From what i see samsung herself has slides for accept or end calls, why the hardware key buttons have to work too?Do you know any trick to disable them when the phone is locked...
Thanks i n advance!

I have the same problem with my Omnia.
Using latest S2U2 (2.43) and setting an alarm with the standard Samsung app.
I have tried most probably all combinations of s2u2 and alarm settings, without any luck.
Anyone ever found a solution for this ?
