Is there any chance to remap the power button of hd2?

short press power button (red button)
[HD2 General] regis.stration:
Try this link, starting at post #91 for how I got it to work. The other link dropped you in at the end of the conversation. Sorry

And yes, there is in-call volume control with this solution too. Again, just the old windows volume pop-up, not the HTC volume control window.
[HD2 General] enping:
doh... i feel stupid now... it's working perfectly when i set it to triple press... lol... thanks...

however i found another issue... even since installing this app my battery drain has increased by quite a bit... is anyone facing this problem? if i'm not wrong AEbuttons drain batt even in standby mode. According to BATTclock, the current drain when i just come out of stand-by with AEbuttons is abt 21mA as opposed to current drain w/o AEbutton which is abt 8mA...
[HD2 General] jjollyroger:
interesting, I installed AEB few days after purchasing HD" so I don't remember the previous battery drainage.. I'll uninstall it to verify.

Nobody else have verified this issue with a measuring software?
[HD2 General] regis.stration:
No battery issue on mine. Nor with previous phone ATT Tilt2.
[HD2 General] jjollyroger:
I didn't find a particular battery lasting increase without AEB, so put it back.

Remapping buttons I found other 2 issues (don't know if someone else already reported) on AEB plus v2.6:

-long pressure (enabled also if not checked on option list) works only on one button, if set on 2 buttons with different actions they will do the same thing (don't know which principle following.. e.g. I mapped windows key to soft reset on long pressure and green key to switch phone on vibrate... but long pressing green button resulted in soft reset as same..)

-OK key (back button) settings work only for opened on screen apps, not for manila pages.

Here's how I could set buttons on WM 6.5.5 (ROM Artemis 9):

GREEN PHONE BUTTON:

-single press- switch vibration mode off/on

-double press- press green button

-triple press- show action menu

WINDOWS KEY:

-single press- switch display on/off

-double press- start menu

-triple press- press left softkey

-long press- soft reset

OK KEY:

-single press- rotate screen

-double press- close active application

-triple press- press right softkey

Probably a very stupid mistake I'm making - but, I can't get it to work! I have a touch pro2. I want my volume up and down buttons to emulate scroll up and down. So, I did the following:

Volume Up:

Hande by AEBPlus

Press Up Arrow key

Same for volume down. Does not work.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks - this is the only reason I bought the app. Developer wont respond to emails.
[HD2 General] jjollyroger:
Hi, maybe it depends on your OS , on HD2 volume button could be mappend on WM 6.5 but no more on 6.5.5 (but I don't know if this depends on WM or on Manila version).

You can try to map your button as "softkey left/right" ,"page up/down" , "arrow left/right" and see if works.

Try asking in Touch Pro foum, there you could find somebody more experienced about your device.
[HD2 General] Guus_:
Small update: A friend of me got a cable extension for his headphone with a small button on it. When you press the button you get exactly this function! So it is possible with some kind of "bind". Any input/suggestion is welcome!

edit: The function I am looking for: It switches to the Manila Music tab and switches between the pauze/play button.
[HD2 General] Peter65nl:
Problem with hard reset

I think there is an issue with the way you re-assigned the volume buttons. I did it the way you suggested and found out that I couldn't do a hard reset anymore. (Pressing volume up and volume down together and pressing the on/off buttun shortly). Do you know a solution for this problem?

Greetz

"THIS IS THE WAY I REMAPPED HD2 BUTTONS (in brackets, the way AEPlus "calls" the button)

Volume up.

Single press: volume up

Long press Backlight up

Volume down.

Single press: volume down

[HD2 General] deb10042:
Each time I assign any function to backspace on my HD2 Leo using AEButton Plus, the new function only works outside Manila.

Anyone with the same problem?

I wanted to assign a task manager to the backspace button, but it's useless, if it doesn't work as long as you are within Manila.

Thx for helping!:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] me:
I'm now running into more serious bugs, and am not at all sure if I will keep AEB Plus.

As I wrote, I tried remapping the green, red, and volume up and down buttons before, didn't get them to work, so set all back to "Don't touch", which I assumed meant they would all function as normal, while I had some remapping capability in home, windows, and back buttons.

Well, I just tried the green button, when set to "do not touch". Yes, a single press brought the phone screen, as normal.

However, a long press did not bring the default function, Microsoft Voice Command, which I still wanted mapped to the long press of that key. Instead, long press of green key brought up Alt-Tab, which I had set to single press of Windows key.

I decided to try mapping at least single and long of green key, back to the default. I set the key to AEB-controlled, and set single press to "press green key". I looked for the application Voice Command to set the long press to, but it wasn't listed there as an application. I figured I could add a shortcut to the start menu, to make sure it would be seen as an app, but in the meantime, I would experiment by setting another app for that long press of green key.

I set it, and saved it.

Now a short press would open the phone screen, but just for a second, then it disappears. And a long press would still do alt-tab, not the app I had set that key for long press.

Getting frustrating!

There seems to be much potential in AEB+ (especially since no other remappers seem to work at all on the HD2), but it also seems to be extremely buggy!

I wish an app like the one described at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554240 would be available for the HD2!
[HD2 General] me:
Well, that is because AFAIK it is the ONLY button mapper that works at all with HD2. I've tried a couple others, one I used a lot with other WinMo devices (Doublelauncher), but none would map anything.

AEBP does do some mapping on the HD2, but with a lot of problems and bugs!
[HD2 General] me:
As indicated in a recent post, I realized that my green phone button (unmapped) wasn't working right at all any more. I would press it, the phone keypad would show for a couple of seconds, then disappear.

Press and hold of that key for Voice Command also wasn't working, but I figured out how to fix that. You have to map the function, but not through the green key, but through a separate (virtual) key that is listed--Send/Hold. Just map it to single press of that, even though it is really long press of the green key. Don't map anything else to that. (Assuming that you want voice command. Otherwise you could map something else to long green press that way.) With voice command, it won't at first recognize it as an app. Find the file voice command.lnk in the windows folder. and copy or move it to a subfolder of the start menu. Then AEBP will find it.

But anyhow, to me totally unacceptable for the green phone key not to work for a single press. I tried mapping it to the function, unmapping it, etc., always that quick disappearing phone keypad. Finally I unmapped all the keys--nothing mapped at all. I rebooted.

With AEBP running, but nothing mapped, the green phone key functioned normally again. Not press and hold that key for Voice Command. I fixed that as described above, and the phone key worked. Then I tried mapping those other three keys again, but just one key at a time, reboot, try it, see if the phone key worked normally.

The result--the only key I could map is the Windows key. With either the back key or the home key mapped, the green phone key would not work right.

So, now I have one key mapped-Windows key. 1 press=start menu, double = alt-tab (PHM version), triple= Alt-F4 (PHM) (close active app), long=AEBP task manager.

It is handy to have one key mapped. Better than none. Although I wasted far too many frustrating hours messing with it. And I think it slows my phone down, especially at bootup. So, not sure if I'll keep it. I'll see.

I would suggest that no one just map several keys in one sitting. Then if things are messed up, you won't know what caused it. Map one key, reboot, check if it works, but also check that it did not mess anything else up!
[HD2 General] me:
After some more careful messing around, just trying one button at a time, and seeing all its effects, on other buttons too, I have been able to add some more. I will post my results below. My phone is a TMOUSA HD2, latest stock rom, latest CHT, latest AEB+.

As described earlier, the Windows key works for me, using the windows key setting, for all 4 possibilities.

I found I could get the back key to work, by setting the OK button in AEB+, that will map the back button on the HD2.

There is another way to map that back button, the way I did at first--"add a button". It works on that button, but will mess up the green phone button. So don't add, just map it as OK button.

Similarly with home button--possible to remap with "add a button", but that messes us green button. I tried "Enter/Action" in AEB+ to see if that would map the home button. It does not. The only way to map it that I can see is the add a button, and that messes up the phone button. So, I have finally left the home button unmapped.

I have, however, been able to map double and triple presses on the green phone button. I map single press as green phone button. I mapped double press to Bing. I mapped triple press to Google Maps. Leave long press unmapped. (However, you have to map a separate "virtual button", send/hold, to affect the long press of the green button. I have send/hold mapped to the default, Voice Command, although it could most likely be mapped to something else, if you don't use VC.)

I could not get any mapping to work with volume up or down, nor red key.

So, I have 3 out of 7 keys mapped--Windows, Back (map OK key), and Green. Possible to map Home through "add a key", but messes up green button if you do. Impossible from my experience to remap volume up down or red button at all.

-----------

PS--When I wrote that I use the PHM AltTab and AltF4 for mappings, if you are interested and don't have them, look online for the freeware "PHM PowerToys". They have been around for years, from older versions of WM, I don't think have been updated, but work fine on the HD2. Other things you may be interested in as well--a Run command, etc. AEB+ has built-in functions similar to AltTab (I think called Alt-tab) and AltF4 (close active application), but after trying the AEB+ functions, and the PHM equivalents, I found the PHM versions to work better.
[HD2 General] deb10042:
Here: HD2 Leo German stock ROM 1.66 with latest CHT

Mapping of vol up/down seems the only thing that works without problems :rolleyes:

Mapping the back key and the red key didn't work so far!

Another bug I found, is that the BT toogle doesn't seem to work (it does nothing) :(
[HD2 General] shein:
Stock ROM+WM button control+AE Button=Volume Control

As suggested by someone in this post I successfully managed to assign Volume button to Dpat (Up & Down), while running recent version of stock ROM.

The trick is that you have to uninstall, apply Volume tweak and install again AE BP. Just applying volume tweak after AE button install doesn't work.

I'm not using Manila, so I do not know how it will impact its functioning.
[HD2 General] mihals1:
Same here. I wanted to have a fast access to BT ON/OFF. it doesn't do anything, but you can assign a button to BTManager.exe in "windows" folder. when you start this application, you get the question, if you want to turn BT ON. it's still better than nothing...
[HD2 General] rightjb:
Possibility..

Looking into claim that new PocketShield allows hardward remapping on HD2. they introduced Volumex - testing now.

ok - -- - - - -

Volumex works VERY well even with my custom Elegancia rom (there isn't one better on HD2) IMHO.

Minor drawback - not as many options as AE and no ability (it seems) to send an argument parameter to your application if choose RUN AN APPLICATION. (also Applications are not alphabetized. OH NO!! LOL).

Otherwise it fits the bill.

Trying Pocketshield now as well otherwise will use AEB for non-volume buttons if possible - unless PS is native and faster (as it seems).

Fantastic.

Due to the fact AEButton don't run properly on my LEO, thanks to this post, I've copied the spb mobile shell link in windows' folder and renamed it to long_send.lnk.

In this way, long pressing green button I open now the SPB taskmanager.
[HD2 General] woaloo:
Be very careful with PocketShield because it disable the HTC dialer and replace it with the awful WM one.

Thread is here:

http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?2,9842,10047#msg-10047

It's a known issue, but no solution for the moment.

On the bad side, it's impossible to roll back to HTC sense dialer unless you make a hard reset !!!
[HD2 General] pckshd:
Hi, it is not an issue.

First, it doesn't automatically replace the HTC dialer. It does it if you do:

Settings > Phone > Protect touch screen > + > Use Windows Mobile dialer

Being said that, you revert it simply by doing:

Settings > Phone > Protect touch screen > + > Use Standard dialer

Works with any setting. That thread mentions a different issue ("Protect touch screen" not compatible with some versions of the HTC dialer)
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
no problems with pocketshield messing up my dialer and I've used it for months now.
[HD2 General] pdahunter:
Do you know if it works on a 3.15 ROM?

Which "Volume tweak" do you mean?

[HD2 General] deb10042:
Is there any chance to get AEButton to work on a HD2 with "newer" ROM?

I own three HD2 devices which worked perfectly with remapping Vol up/down using AEButton (even double, triple, long press). But as soon, as I updated two of those devices to newer ROMs, AEButton stopped working :(

stock ROM 3.14 GER doesn't work

newest Vodafone ROM GER doesn't work

new versions of Energy ROM (based on ROM 3.14, no metter if WM 6.5 or 6.5.x) don't work

Has anyone managed to reassign Vol up/down buttons on those newer ROMs? :confused:

recently got my HTC Hero I am with Optus (Australia) all the time when it says 3G at the top of the screen the connection is terrible (speed tests are slow etc) however if that says H i get more bars and super fast connection

if i use just 2G its just plan slowand not usable for VOIP etc

I am wondering is there a command i set to say only use H which i am guessing HSDPA?

Thank you

OzJames
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
The phone automatically uses the best connection available to it.

If it's not showing H, you're not within range of HSDPA service.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bruzay:
check on the market and download an apps called "any cut".after u install it open it and create a short cut for phone info by tapping on create a shortcut then choose activity then phone info by scrolling down to the options that says phone info.now go back to the short cut created called phone info and open it and scoll down to set preffered network type.the phone has a default settings to wcdma preffered.tap on the pull down menu and choose wcdma only and press on the back key twice to go to the home screen .this keeps your connection on 3g or H but will reduce in areas you cant get 3g or H.WHEN YOU GET THESE CONNECTION PROBLEMS CHANGE IT TO GSM ONLY.hope this helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
I don't understand, what is the purpose of doing this?

Like I said above, the phone will always use the best connection available (unless you set it otherwise in the options). Why set it to WCDMA only?

If you're in range of HSDPA service, the phone will use it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this makes as much sense to me as asking how you can download more RAM to your computer :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
actually it would be like setting the computer up that it would only use a fast internet connection, and if it is slow not to use it at all. would be like connection fast -> page loads, connection slow -> page is not loaded at all.

hs(d/u)pa is an extension to the umts standard. if it is not available in the cell you are using there is nothing to do about it. if you have gsm with edge availabe that might even be faster than a bad 3g/umts connection, but that depends on many factors.

Heya, I'm also on Optus in Australia. The problem thatyou have described is actually really common with Optus users. Optus has way too many customers and have overloaded their system. A easy work around for a more stable connection is to change your APN from internet to yesinternet hope this helps.

If I capture a phone number in the notes section of an appointment, the reminder will show the number and give me the option to call it.

Is there any way to get this working on a task also. To me it makes more sense to have it on a task - "Call Joe" for example is a common task for me. I don't want to make an appointment for it, it's just something I need to do that day.

Any ideas?

Is it possible to set different volume level as default?

I´d like to play music via Blutooth to my car radio,

My wish is, that TT-Voice is a little bit louder than music.

I´ve looked into registry but can´t find the correct keys.

Thanks for your ideas.
[Touch Cruise General] runningtiger:
I use a program by Ageye called G-Profile ( http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gprofile/about ). It allows you to set all kinds of different profiles based on different scenarios.

For instance, I have an "equipment based" profile that automatically kicks in when external power is connected + headset. When I'm driving I use that adapter that has 3 plugs going in one side (power, headset & data) and one plug out the other side to plug into the bottom of the device. I plug in the car power adapter + a cord that interfaces with my car radio to play music through the radio and leave the data plug empty. With this setup my phone charges while driving and playing music + using TomTom and all the sounds come through the car speakers. Just set your TomTom to the level you want it to be when you drive and it will be the same each time you use it. Also, look in your TomTom settings...there is something about linking the volume to your car speed (increases as you drive faster, if you want).

There are several tabs in the G-Profile program for all kinds of settings...volume (I have mine to set volume max when I plug in in the car, but turn the ringer way down), connectivity (nothing changes for me while in car), execute (my prefered music player), reminders (none for me while driving), notifications (I don't change any), screen brightness (no changes for me here either).

When I get in the car and plug the one plug from the adapter into my device, G-Profile automatically notices I've plugged in power and "headset" and it automatically launches my music player and sets the volume etc how I want. Very cool. When I unplug it goes back to the default settings for all those tabs, or another profile depending on how you have it set up. I have it so it knows if I'm home (based on Cell tower ID) to turn on my wifi (and make some other changes) so I am connected to my home network before I even get in the front door and have my phone volume etc set how I want it while home. It can tell if I'm at work (grown up sound notifications as opposed to fun sounds used while not at work), in the library (mute everything and jump onto their wifi) etc. You get the picture.

It's a nice program. Might be overkill for the one thing you need. But maybe it does all kinds of stuff you didn't know you "needed" ;) until now! It's not free (4.99 €), but it's not too expensive either. I wouldn't want to be without it since I have 8 profiles set up to all work automatically (no ringers going off in the middle of the night while it charges etc)!

Good luck!
