I am a new user to this program and have found two problems.

1. Have the 'DPAD' option enabled and start playing an album of some type in Windows Media player mobile. When you tap right on the directional pad, it registers this as holding down right and fast forwards instead of skipping to the next track. Disabling the the 'DPAD' option causes this to behave normally (tap = next track, hold = fast forward). After tapping right several times, it will finally go to the next track after several wrong attempts.

2. Play solitaire and win a game. As soon as the game is won, tap the right softkey (Menu) and try to select 'New Game'. When you do this, it goes into an infinite loop of attempting to start a new game (lots of new sets of cards flashing up very quickly).

EDIT: #2 is not related to smartskey after all. #1 definitely is though.

I have found that when you install new version (0.60) on the fresh system it uses default settings instead of reading the ini file. For example it minimizes apps intead of closing it and doesn't start on soft-reset. Everything is ok when you first install 0.56, run it, close and then replace the file with 0.60.

issues on asus p535

Two other issues, both related to long presses of soft keys:

1. When I hold Left softkey start menu drops down, but as soon as I release the key it disappears again. This happens for both settings of STARTMENUMETHOD. I have found a workaround - if I press a center button of dpad while holding the softkey then start menu disappears for a moment and then appears again, after that releasing the softkey doesn't hide the menu and I can actually navigate through it.

2. If I hold Right softkey to close an application then after the application is closed normal Right softkey press action of Today screen (or whichever program becomes active) is executed. That is, I have to time very precisely how long I hold the softkey: hold for too little and normal action is executed, hold for slightly too long and normal action is executed after closing the current application.

Nothing too bad, of course, so thank you very much for this great program!

Just hope that those minor annoyances can be fixed.

This is ASUS P535 device with WM5 on it. I am using smartskey 0.60.

I've been using this app since I had my HTC Prophet and it's realy great!

Now I'm using a HTC P3600. I would like to mute an incoming call, and not redirect the caller to my voicemail. Normaly I can mute the call using the scroll bar on the side of the device. With SmartsKey It doens't work. I've added a ";" to all the stuff I wanted to set.

Does anyone else have a tip for me to make it working correctly?

At the moment I've disabled the application. :(

Able to use on Elf/Touch?

Hello all,

I installed it on my Touch but was not able to run it? It is possible to use this application on WM6 devices without keyboards? The Touch only has one hardware buttton (camera) and the L and R softkeys have limited functionality.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ls3mach:
Hi,

I have been using your application for a long while and I think it is great. I have my right soft key set to close applications when I hold it down. Since I am using a 6800 I have no need for the left soft key to open the "start" button. Is it possible to edit this program to "alt+tab" when holding the left soft key? I would actually prefer a to map my "windows" button to this option and then use the left soft key to open the start menu,

Thanks

Make volume key work with WM6 tmail application

With the current version, the volume key does not work on the email window (e.g. open an html email on WM6, can only use D-Pad). Is there any tweak to make it work? SPB bocket plus smart scroll works, but it has some drawback. It is hard to use PenPower for input when smart scrolling is on. So the solution here will be great. It should not be too hard, since smarkkey works on ie. The windows class for the email is really PIEHTML. Thanks.

smartskey.0.60 - volume mute does not work.

hi;

thannks for the gr8 SMARTsKEY, i have this problem.

if a incoming call comes, i am not able to mute the volume which i was able to do earlier by pressing the volume(up/Down) button.

i tried de-activating SMARTSKEY then i am able to mute it. but if the smartskey is alive then this button is not working. is it possible to mute the call even if smartskey is alive.

thanks

Support for Axim X51v - WM5/6?

Hi, I tried installing this, both versions 0.56 and 0.60, on an Axim with WM6, but the soft keys do not appear to be enhanced with the Start menu / close button functionality. Can anyone verify if this program works on an X51v? I have used the default config, but turned off the volume control parameters, excluded apps, and dpad. Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tsugaguy:
can volume slider still work for windows media? can't imagine why I wouldn't want to be able to adjust volume of music, or why I would want to scroll in a program that doesn't have that capability. But I must say the program is a HUGE improvement overall!

also, concur with gokulb, a quick tap of slider has been handy many times for muting an incoming call, without even removing phone from beltclip.

tamehome, the program runs on htc-wizards, not sure about dell axim. perhaps the author could answer more conclusively.

bad interaction Smartskey and Magic Button - a problem/ AC's S2U2-0.99c-WM5 fritzing

I.

- I wish I could report the same, but activating Magic button seems to kill the right hard key close(x/OK) that smartSkey provides. I know my sig below extolls the virtues of Magic Button, but being able to one-hand my machine, and close my apps or say "OK" with the right soft button, is more important than a task manager...sigh...btw...

II.

:(.

AC's S2U2-0.99c-WM5 fritzing

- I've uninstalled and reinstalled and all it does is pop up and CLOSE now...I'm sure it's some interaction with my recent additions...but if someone can lend insight into that problem...I'd be beholden...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tsugaguy:
I think a great way to make this totally awesome program even better, as many users have unique combinations of software and slightly different hardware, would be to add a program list for the .ini configuration of the slider key similar to the one for the close button, and same for the D-pad. It is great that we can now set up a customized list of which applications close, and which ones just get minimized. It would be great to be able to customize in the .ini which programs adjust volume with the slider and which ones scroll up/down. Is there any way to rework so the config can be customized for those functions too? Or even other buttons for that matter - like what if we could assign any user defined function to a press and hold of other keys in addition to the beautiful thing you've done with the 2 softkeys.

The whole reason the smartskey program is needed so desperately is the built-in settings > buttons dialog is so crappy. You have done an awesome job at fixing the worst of the limitations. I'm sure this is asking a lot, just some ideas, and I hope you keep the tweaks coming. Thanks, water!!!

OK whenever i run smartkey it takes over the volume button even wth the ini entry set to 0 or removed and a reboot is the only fix it seems, can anyone else confirm ?

OK fixed it , i needed to set the volume key ini setting to 0 before running, what was weird before was that even after setting this before and shutting / rerunning smartkey its still grabbed the volume key oh well sorted now thanks Matt

the reboot option in the ini fixed my issue, thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] water:
Sorry for the poor documentation, will improve it in next version:

If you only want to use volume key as pageup/down, set:

LSKEY=0, RSKEY=0, VOLKEY=1

If you want to use volume key to set volume and softkey to close/ok, start menu, set:

LSKEY=1, RSKEY=1, VOLKEY=0

All changes take effect on next reboot.

Set CLOSEAPP=1 will close the appication instead of hiding it.

Set STARTONREBOOT=1 will automatically and shortcut to /windows/startup, if you have use previous version, you can delete your own created shortcut, or set STARTONREBOOT=0. If you got a dialog popup during startup, it should be you have ran the program twice with two shortcuts, you can delete both shortcuts in /windows/startup and then run smartskey.exe manually.

Add entry in [EXECPTIONLIST] when hide windows with these title name instead of closing it when CLOSEAPP=1

Hi,

really great this small app.

Could you please deliver the source code for it, that we are able to learn from you experiences?

In addition I have a question concerning WM5 progs:

I want to write an app, which enables me to lock the device.

I know which registry entries to be set to lock the device, but a shut down of the device is required to read the registry entry changes.

Is there any possibility for WM5 to read the registry changes during runtime?

Is there any description for SHUTIL.DLL?

Thanks in advance

that would be awesome... this little app solves one of my big gripes about one-handedness operation.

If the vol slider could talk to the app when in an app, but act as vol when in a call that would make it just perfect

Great program and I love it!

I seem to have an intermitant problem. Some combination of waking up my phone manually doing an Active Sync and putting the phone to back to sleep seems to kill the Smartskey process on my Cingular 8125. Then both the softkeys stop working completely. If I go and manually relauch the Smartskey application, everything starts working again. I know the process is dead because manually relaunching it makes it work and you dont get the "Do you want to exit Yes/No" dialog.

Any thoughts?

Sweet

I used this on the Epix with lots of success... but I must have been using an old version because it wasn't working so hot on my AT&T Fuze (Touch Pro). I downloaded .56 and .6 to test and .6 works pretty well.

I haven't really messed with the INI file much, but I'm looking for a good way to DISABLE the VOLUME keys from adjusting the VOLUME except in the PHONE menu.

On the EPIX, adjusting the INI file would make no difference... hopefully it works ok the Fuze.

I just hate bumping the volume buttons and it changing my ringer all the time. I keep my phone on VIBRATE at ALL TIMES... but I'm finding that AT&T doesn't like you remapping their buttons. The HTC Volume Slider works better then the stock Windows Mobile volume controller, as the HTC Volume Slider requires 2 button presses (1 to launch the volume slider, and another to make a change).

I still find the phone in silent mode often.

I will do some more tests and post back some results!

[UPDATE]

I edited the INI file: VOLUMEONTODAY=0

It works as expected. The Volume works in the Phone app just like normal, but Volume keys act as Up/Down in any other app.

The only wierd thing I am experiencing, which isn't that bad, is the Up/Down act as a Page Down/Page Up in certain apps. For example: In Contacts. Up = Page Up. Down = Page down on 1 press... but begins to scroll 1 at a time. No big deal. This is using version 0.60.

Version .56 scrolled normally but wasn't working properly with the volume controls.

So it seems version .60 works best with the AT&T Fuze.

Is there a way to remap soft keys to navigational controls? Meaning, "left soft key" to "left" direction, and "right soft key" to "right" direction?
