Vibraswitch PTT remap question

Thanks everyone, I was able to remap the PTT button to Vibraswitch. Now I am trying to figure out how to use it to turn on silent mode. With remapping to button 5 (camera) I was able to use the hold function in Vibra to switch to silent. However, when I hold down PTT it doesnt go to silent mode. Is it possible to use the PTT button to switch from Ring, to Vibrate to Silent using Vibraswitch?

Task Manager for PTT Won't Open

After unziping, Task Manager won't open. Error message is:

A sharing violatio occurred while accessing\Windows\~IA Zip Temporary Files\Task Manager\TaskMrg.exe

I renamed a different file with same name in the above path location. Then reran the new Task Manager from p13 #127. Still same error.

How do I get Task Manager for the PTT reassignment to open and execute?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asfoor:
Do you have task manager and CommManager open? This happens sometimes if CommManager is open. Try to close all programs b4 you open task manager.

Secondly, If you have Schaps Rom installed, the task manager privileges on a couple of Schaps roms are controlled; limiting your accessibility to change the registry.

Thirdly, I have ran the fix on almost all ROMs out there without a glitch. If you can, name back whatever files you changed to their original names. Do a soft reset and start the process again.

Good luck.

PTT Fix

Dear all,

I tired the Re-map on my ATT8925 and it did not change anything. Will it work on my new phone?

Kind Regards

jimjep:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asfoor:
What didn't change?

You followed the instructions?

After you install the files I posted, do a soft reset. then go start, settings, buttons, and you will see the button 6 and 6(HOLD). click on the button you wish to re-map and select the program from the drop-down list at the bottom of the page.

PTT Reassignment

Thank you asfoor,

I tried your suggestions. All programs closed b4 opening Task Manager. I am able to open your Task Manager. However, the regedit does not show up as one of the 18 Processes available to choose. RegEdit does show up as a separate line item in the folder as a shortcut but on touching with the stylus, a message appears "TaskMgr" cannot be opened (not signed.....).

I haven't yet found the Rom information, so I'm not sure if I have the Schaps Rom. I do know this unit uses Strongarm processor, Windows CE Ver 5.2, Windows Mobile 6 Pro and Device = HTC 8900. I purchased it three weeks ago from a local AT&T store.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Having Trouble Getting MSVC To Start on PTT

I've tried following everything that everyone has said here and have tried several of the different PTTfix and button assign cabs. While the PTT button does not go to PTT anymore, and the registry says that it is pointing to Voice Command, when I push the PTT button, it simply brings up the start menu.

I'm running on the latest ATT Rom. Any ideas?

Thanks,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asfoor:
Go to Start/Settings/Buttons/. Button 6 can be assigned to any program from the drop down list in the same screen. That is true if you followed my instructions on page 13 post 127 on this thread. One thing you might try to do is a soft reset and see if that clears out some hanging dll files.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] wgragg:
Thanks. I've tried that. It shows the button is mapped to Voice Control, but hitting it only brings up the start menu. Same thing happens no matter what program I assign to it.

I'm about to do a hard reset and try it over, but I would like to avoid that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] lesjonpool:
I want in!

This thread has been very informative. It looks like there are 2 methods that have been proven to work.

Unfortunately, both of these methods involve .zip files. I understand that I can unzip these files on my pc and then transfer them over to my SD card.

However.... at this point, I am just curious why in the hell my Zip program that came in the box with my new Tilt will not open the zips.

Does anyone have a single .cab file that will perform this function for a new Tilt?

For the method in thread #127, I found an alternative TaskMgr.cab file on some other board. However, I cannot, for the life of me, find anywhere that one would select "regedit".

This is all great, but very maddening. Thanks to all of the contributors, though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asfoor:
You are pressing the wrong button.... There is NO other answer than this....

The PTT button is the one on top of the scroll wheel, NOT the one below the scroll wheel. I read somewhere else someone just realized he was mistaken the PTT with the OK Start menu button.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] wgragg:
Yeah, I figured that out last night just as I was going to bed. Talk about feeling foolish. I was going to come on here today, with my tail between my legs, and admit I was being a dummy. My only excuse is I haven't had the phone long and never really looked at the buttons on the left side.

Thanks for trying to help. I'm going to walk off in shame and hopefully get over this embarrassed feeling I have.

HEY THANKS :)

But all I did was Install the - OEM_Assign_PTT_Button.CAB

from your Post # 127

What is the Other - Task Manager, download for ?

Cos when i press my PTT button it does start my Voice Command :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asfoor:
The task manager was intended for those that were NOT able to get to RegEdit. In your case, The PTT was perhaps removed from the ROM; you probably have a cooked ROM. If you still have the original ROM, then when you do a soft reset, the PTT function will replace the hard button function you replaced. If that occurs, then you will have to get to Regedit and delete the PTT folder first, Do a SR then install the OEM Assign PTT Cab.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asfoor:
create a folder on your SD card for downloads/ Direct all downloads to that folder ( using something like total commander or Schaps advanced Config. or a simple task mgr program)/ turn off auto-run/ download the cab file, it is saved in the default download folder you created earlier/ Click and install. You can install V3Patels' file or the one I provided and you are good to go. My solution is on page 13 of this post.

Good luck.

It does not appear as though comm manager is an available option from the button 6 reassign drop box. Is there a way to make this the option for the former (thank god) ptt button.

Also, I do not totally understand vibraswitch. Is this a 3rd party program or just an additional setting option on other htc devices. I want to try and keep my phone as streamlined as possible and do not wish to install more bloatware. A little more explanation would be extremely helpful.

This is what I did.

I went to HKML/Services/PTT I first did an Export (for backup) of the PTT Branch and saved it into my Storage as Reg file.

Then I deleted the PTT branch from HKML/Services/ and then I used SPB Pocket Plus 4, the buttons option in the Home Screen little folder with an engine.

In there you can change button 6 to anything you want it to be from the below list, and there is also a HOLD button 6 to select too.

Best of Luck!

Voice recorder (notes) not executing

I have finally hit the end of the thread but still I am not able to do what I want. I have seen the question asked and the replies but it seem my issue is a little different.

I want to use the PTT to start the notes voice recording when I push it and stop when I release.

I have Successfully remapped the PTT button to the \Windows\AppButtons\record.lnk -b which points to hotvoice.exe.

Looking in the button reassigment GUI I even get the right icon.

This should allow me to use the PTT button to control the voice recorder but when I try it I get a message about not being able to open Record.lnk -b (not being signed with a trusted certificat or a component cannot be found).

If I try to tap the executable itself under the windows catalogue, unlike other executables that would fire up the program nothing happens.

Im running on an AT&T 8525 WM6 (officially downloaded from HTC via AT&Ts link). ROM version 3.62.502.3

Did AT&T intentionally disable the hotvoice.exe as if removing the mapping of the PTT button was not enough??

Anyone else has this issue?

Doesn't hotvoice.exe normally start like any other executable...

Thanks for any help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Danger Man:
a. Once you copy the files over you will need to tap on "Task Manager" in the SD Storage Card.

b. Then press press "menu", then press "select all", then press "extract", Extract to "Storage Card"

c. Then go to the file folder that has been created on the storage card "Task Manager".

d. Then press the green icon that says "TaskMgr".

e. You will see Processes at the top and "CPU Usage" beside it. There is a drop down menu. Press it and scroll down to the bottom and select "RegEdit"

f. hklm will actually display as "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" select this folder.

g. then select the folder displayed as "SERVICES".

h. then highlight the folder "PTT" and delete it.

I made a few changes to the above that I think are helpful. Maybe they will help someone else. I renamed the "PTT" to "Old PTT". Is the only other change that I made.

I have not been able to get the screen to stop coming up that reads:

PTT charges will apply.

Do you wish to initialize PTT?

Maybe someone will come up with a solution for that for me. I also read somewhere that you can have the single push act as a toggle to switch the ringer from ring to vibrate to silent by subsequent presses. I have not been able to find that, but that would be very helpful in church or at a meeting.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asfoor:
Do not know if you have it resolved yet.... Also, please note that if the ptt function is mapped to the PTT Services, even if you rename it, the function will still exist. You would need to change the PTT File type by renaming its extension, then it would defy the ptt file hunting. I recommend deleting the PTT, since you can re-install it using the ptt function file I provided in my earlier post.

Post #127 Doesn't work for me

I've followed these instruction to the hilt. Initially everything went as stated until i opened regedit and couldn't find hklm\services\ptt . I then said OK and installed the cab file. I then went into start.settings.buttons and I had the 6th button and 6th button long. I changed them to voice speed dial and voice recorder, However when I push the PTT button it pulled up the PTT. So I then did a soft reset and everything reverted back to the original tilt defaults. that is 5 buttons. I'm not sure what could be happening can anybody help. I did install Kaiser Tweak. I'm not sure if that is affecting anything. Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Danger Man:
download "Vibra Switch" and install it and you will be in business. Also deleting the PTT completely solved my problem. If I can be of anymore help let me know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Danger Man:
There is no such thing as "hklm/services/ptt" you use the drop down menu on the top right of your screen and select regedit at the bottom. It will bring up a file tree just like your home computer using windows. You then go down and select the folder "hkey local machine" (see above), then you select the folder "services", you then highlight the folder "PTT" then you delete it completely. Now you do a soft reset. You will be all set if you are using an AT&T Tilt.

I did the same thing, but my record.lnk points to a program called "msvoice".

You have to make sure that the registry data is in quotes "\Windows\AppButtons\record.lnk" -b and that the -b is outside the quotes.

Also if you open up the "Buttons" setting, and look at the button assignments, for some reason it will erase it.

If it doesn't take, try it again with the regedit, and it must be on 40C7, Button 6(Hold).

Just make sure not to open up the "Buttons" assignment app in settings.

Another thing I tried that worked was to copy the "Record.lnk" from the Windows\AppButtons\" directory to the Startmenu\Programs\ directory and then used the "Buttons" settings to assign it, and it seems to work without the -b option.

I don't know if some one had answered this question previously. Anyway, in order for the new assgined Button 6 to work, you also need to delete the PTT key found in the registry:

Here is the final solution to the Ring-Vibrate-Mute button for the AT&T Tilt.

Here is the final solution to the Ring-Vibrate-Mute button for the AT&T Tilt.

I tried VibraSwitch but there were radio disconnect issues...

Here is the ultimate solution to make a switch on the Tilt to make it easy to silence the ringer when you forget during a meeting. I knitted together several procedures from others, forgive me for not crediting.

In the end, the otherwise useless PTT button will cycle from sound-on to vibrate. If you hold the PTT button, it will cycle from sound-on to mute.

Is that what you want? Is that what you need? Say, “Hell yeah!”

Kill PTT and make it assignable:

Here are the simple step-by-step instructions to reassign the PTT to whatever program you want:

1. You need the two files attached herewith, copied onto your Sd Storage Card

2. Start the Task manager and in the "processes drop down window, select RegEdit.

3. In the registry navigate to the hklm\services\ptt

4. Click and hold on to the yellow ptt folder, then a prompt appears, select "Delete" then exit. Do a Soft Reset.

5. Click on "Start" and File Explorer, Storage card and install the OEM_Assign_PTT_Button.CAB onto your device.

6. Do a Soft Reset.

This link can be found here with the files:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334759&page=13

Next, install HButton:

Get the CAB and install it. Here’s the link to the file:

http://hbutton.dyndns.org/

Go the your programs.

Open the HButton folder

Click on HBSetup

Click the box for HButton5

At the top click on the box with the “>” until you get “Button 6”

Check the box for “cycle”

Where is says <none>, click the down triangle and find <Toggle Sound Vibra> and click “add

Click ok

Your gonna do it again, but this time,

Click the box for HButton6

At the top click on the box with the “>” until you get “Button 6 (Hold)”

Check the box for “cycle”

Where is says <none>, click the down triangle and find <Toggle Sound Mute> and click “add

Click ok

Before you leave HButton, set the delay to 200ms

Click ok and close HButton.

Go to your Today screen and press the PTT button...

You're smiling, aren't you!

If you press PTT again it goes back to "sound"

Now press and hold PTT.

You've even got a bigger smile on your face now, right?
