Hi,

on the X2 there is no "Buttons" app in the personal Settings Menu as usual found on like any other Windows Mobile Phone i ever used.

I tried the Vito Button Mapper 4.0 which is rather old and doesn't seem to work.

I want to remap the "Panels" Hardware Button to open the Start Menu instead, since I ripped the Panels off (with the SEUS-Method as described in ROM Development).

I bet this can be done via Registry somewhere, or anybody knows an app able to config the Buttons?

Thanks
[XPERIA X2 General] e-mailinator:
After some hours of searching and trying i found the tool "AE Button Plus".

It's not free and not my first choice, since it's a memory resident app running in the background and hooking keys. Supports hold and multiple click stuff too.

I would prefer tweaking it via registry, but can't figure out how.

The key would be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys]

Under this, the folders represent the buttons, but only two to be found on the X2 and I wasn't able to change them successfully. If anyone could figure this out, I'd be happy!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] trickhd2:
Is anyone else finding the in call volume low in win phone 7. I've been using since Friday, and really enjoying the experience, but today was my first day at work and I have to make and take a lot of calls.

Using registry I found the in call max vol setting, and set to 20. Revolted and then made a call and moved unto 20 (previous max was 10) but it seemed to make very little difference.

Any advice would be appreciated, as I am loving the build but may have to flash back to droid, unless I can solve this
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] cheech420:
It does seem a little quiet, but not too bad. I'm having issues where all sound volumes are not consistent. It's a little annoying because some things are really quiet, but then other sounds are extremely loud even with volume set to '1'.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] s14tam:
I too find the call volume a bit low. Its not too low but could be a little louder. I bet there is a registry setting for it as i read somewhere that you could fix the "high volume on volume set at 1" problem with a reg setting.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DennisCSUF:
Yeah the registry keys are under HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> [ControlPanel] -> [Volume]

I was able to modify the high volume from here

Nero 5 cured my GPS! Honestly.

No other Rom did.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Actually if u order a new placement your gps will most, likely work.

They've changed all their refurbs gps or something, so your right.

thanks for sharing your story
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Since Nero 5 is based on Samsung's KA5 leak, did you ever try just the stock KA5 rom to see if you got similar results? Perhaps Nero 5 is just inheriting certain fixes which you're assuming are exclusive to Nero 5 when they could actually be common to any/all KA5 based rom?
[Vibrant General] oka1:
I did the mechanical fix and that made seeing and locking exponentially better, I always had some sat action, but now, i got 15 sats the other days 8 lock....... insane
[Vibrant General] Lethal_NFS:
Installing Axura rom with JL5 gets me 9/12 sats. My GPS locks on and starts working within 10s. I did purchase a refurbished Vibrant so maybe they changed a part on my phone.
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Every Vibrant has a date code under the battery. Anything November 2010 and later, I believe is using newer GPS parts. This definitely true of many new phones but also may be true of refurbished phones as well.
[Vibrant General] mgerard:
I guess KA5 may be a fix for some or even mine but it was clear a hardware fix did work as JI6 did not before but then did after. My frustration just got to me last month and sent it out! I really hope KA5 helps people that will be great!
[Vibrant General] mgerard:
I had thought about the mechanical fix but decided I should get Samsung to do it since it was under warranty. This way I would not risk voiding my warranty for when it was needed. I can't afford a new phone right now!
[Vibrant General] bdroc:
i just got a new phone after a warranty replacement...and i just tested my old phone and my new one...my old one would find 1 gps satellite and and then lose it, never locking on....when google maps found me..the smallest it is ever accurate is within 100 meters...and this is after like a minute

i tested my replacement model and i turned on google maps...not more than 1/2 a second, it locked on within 4 meters...i also got 10 satellites in 3 seconds and locked onto 9 of them in about 10 seconds

agreed with OP, if you are having problems with GPS, and are under warranty, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT...do not open your phone, or anything risky when this is such a viable option

also...i got my replacement in 4 business days

I recently ordered my ballistic hc case of off amazon just in time because I got my first scratch today so I can't wait to get it. But to all the owners out there, how does it hold up? How does it feel, do you like it, is it worth it? Because this scratch really opened my eyes but at least its not on the display. And on a semi related note, anybody have any tips on how to maybe buff it out or something?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mudkip:
i could beat somebodies head in with this case on my phone and still make the call to 911 when i was done. love it. if you hate bulk you wont like it. overall one of the best cases i have ever bought.
[EVO 4G Accessories] andnad:
I'm willing to accept the bulk on the basis that it will definitely protect my phone cause I've been scared of touching my poor phone ever since I scratched it today.
[EVO 4G Accessories] live2ride96:
Love it, love it, love it. I grabbed mine for $30 off Amazon, and it was WELL worth it. Quality is definitely there. I usually use mine without it around the house, as it is rather bulky, but I wouldn't go to work without it. I truly feel like my phone is protected when I'm out and about now. And the holster is 100x better than the one that came with my Otterbox from my old iPhone 3GS.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mudkip:
Just a little update on how much i love this. i wont get a phone unless they will make a HC case for it. where i work is bad on phones. from dust to long drops.
[EVO 4G Accessories] edwards379:
I love this case, makes the phone feel huge but its ok cause our phones are huge anyways
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Until you take the case off, then the phone feels tiny and sexy. I personally don't care how big the phone is, as long as I don't have to worry about dropping it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] andnad:
I got it off amazon for about $30 as well. It kept going up a dollar every day so I was like I have to take the plunge soon before its at full price again. I can't wait to get it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MrWicked1:
Well I have had mine about three weeks now, I broke the holster in the first week and a half, customer serv is sending me a replacement. I was reading a few people having issues with the prox sensor using this case then I noticed I was also, after cutting the plastic screen protector that covers the sensor off it is working perfectly now.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nerv666999:
$50 is too much!

$30 on Amazon, bravo, $50 from Ballistic, a bit much. I like mine but have one major complaINT.... WHAT'S WITH THE CHEAP PLASTIC KICKSTAND? They should send everyone a better designed replacement, damn thing is like something out of a CrackerJacks box.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MrWicked1:
I agree with the stand comment, on another note I got my replacement holster and they sent me a new case because of the prox sensor problem.
[EVO 4G Accessories] friggidy:
i got mine in a few days ago off amazon for $27.... its very durable... probably gon sell it tho... its jus too bulk 4 me... they need to create a slim version.. lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Without the optional rubber outer layer it's about the same size as the Cyclops. If that's too large for you then you probably will be much happier with something like the Otterbox Commuter.

I personally can't support Otter right now with their poor quality control though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bds369:
this is the one!

I just received mine today and all I can say is wow! I have been through so many cases that ended up being junk and I finally have something that delivers the goods!

1st Sprint Body Glove - cracked and broke after 1 week

2nd Zagg screen protection with naked phone. Began to peel after 2 weeks

3rd. Seideo Innocase Active limited edition - 1st one corner cracked and back peeled constantly

4th Second Seido Innocase Active - 2 corners cracked after very minor drop.

5th 5$ ebay rubber/ silicone case. Actually was ok but couldnt use charge port while it was connected.

6th and hopefully final case Ballistic HC! This one feels like a tank! I don't mind the bulk because this one will actually last. I bought it on ebay for $33 here. Don't screw around with other cases like I did (and waste so much $), just get this one and be done with it! :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Mine is on the way. $25 off ebay. My seidio rugged really held up great but i just wanted something new ive had that seidio for months. Passed on otterbox for ballistic. Hope its as good as the seidio

[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
This is MUCH better than Seidio. My Seidio is falling apart and unusable, the protection on the Ballistic seems to also be superior.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:

The design on the Seidio just doesn't make sense, I don't understand why they'd build the exoskeleton that way. Go Ballistic!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Nnyan:
This is a great case! We have 4-5 users here that have that case and I borrowed one for a weekend. While I love the protection I just can't get over the bulk, so in the end I kept my Case-Mate Tough Case which has so far protected my phone vs my 2yo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] joeracer321:
I have had the Ballistic case for about a week now, I think they made a great case! I have only the one complaint I think everyone does, what the heck were they thinking with the kickstand, it's useless! Though I don't really miss it that much, I wish it were there....
[EVO 4G Accessories] andnad:
The mf'er who sold me the case on amazon managed to lose it during shipment. They ran out of them and offered me a defender case and I just no thanks give me a refund. I took those $30 something and bought myself a trident cyclops case for less than that. They look pretty good let's hope I get it though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Ballistic>Kraken>Cyclops and the Defender doesn't deserve to be in the rankings.
[EVO 4G Accessories] andnad:
I would've gotten the kraken but it looks a lot bulkier and has more silicon which I hate because it's hard to pull out of pockets and attracts lint. I just wanted a case with the built in screen protector which is what i worry about because of the first scratch i got but I'm generally very careful with my phone anyways.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ccossin:
I pre-ordered mine when they were first announced. So I've been using out all this time. Except for the sh1%%y kickstand I love it.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Norwester:
It looks like you missed out on the OB defender but I'll sell you mine cheap. Only thing wrong with it is the kickstand that broke while it was in my pocket and had never been used. ;)

The Ballistic case IS a tank! Love it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] willyrick:
not to be stupid, but will the Ballistic case work on an EVO the has an extended battery back (I'm trying out the 2200 mah version)?
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
No, it only works with the stock battey cover.

[EVO 4G Accessories] willyrick:
Thanks, I was hoping the modular design might allow for using the front and side components, but as you indicate and the Ballistic demo video illustrates , it only works for the stock battery/cover
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
The only rugged type case I know of that works with an extended battery is Seidio.

[EVO 4G Accessories] lacrossev:
Anyone try to stick an evo that's already protected by an invisible shield? I ask because I've tried with an innocase but due to the tight fit it destroyed the zagg. There are times when I'd like to keep the phone sleek but still want some scratch protection if nobody has I guess I can be the guinea pig lol.

swyped from my CM7 Supersonic

Update: Didn't work, the insides of the HC looks deceptively spacious but the front piece will crush one side of the invisible shield, plus the battery door becomes sticky enough that it when you pull the phone out, the cover will fall off.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
I just received the Black/Grey Ballistic in the mail about 10 minutes ago. It is pretty impressive compared to the Defender, but its just too large for me. I don't need that much protection. If anyone wants to take if off my hands PM me. It's still in the retail packaging and the protective film is still in tact. I'll do $30 shipped which I think is the cheapest you can find it. If you see it cheaper let me know and I'll beat it. Also, I go to the post office every day at 5:30 CST so if you pay before then it will ship the same day. :D

I have to say my thread took off! But I never got the ballistic case, thank God. Instead I bought a trident cyclops case and I must say it's ridiculously good. It's not too bulky, it lets you use the original kickstand, and it looks great. Oh and it protects your phone too lol.

I've been upgrading cases and bought one of these that is gray/black. I haven't used the screen protector and I don't really need it. I'll offer it up for $30 shipped anywhere in the states. Just pm me if you are interested.
[EVO 4G Accessories] thunderwagn:
Agreed! Love the case though. Got it not long after release and its still holding its own. Couple things I don't like: Being in construction, my fingers and hands are pretty rough and really scratched up the screen protector. I had a Zagg protector on and much prefered it over the built in. After having the case for awhile now, it almost feels like the phone is starting to get a tad loose in the case. It seems like I get more and more crap under the built in protector as time goes by. Have to take the case off more frequently to clean. Not big beefs, still an outstanding heavy duty case.

As far as the kickstand. I like it. Would much rather it just pop off and be able to snap back into place than have it just break...like some other cases;)

I just got the Kraken for me and the wife and we absolutely love it.

Must've got lucky and got them on sale because I paid 49 for both and now they're 39 each again.

I got the blk/blk case. I dont like how the rubber gel you put on top is flimsy and not firm. It does not fit in tight pockets at all. It gets really annoying. I do not even use it anymore. I am sticking with the commuter case by otterbox

I do kind of wish that the silicone was a little less sticky, but this is not meant to be a pocketable case. That's why it comes with a holster.

Have any of you tried the seidio rugged case ? Its very good ! I had my stock battery for about a month and I hated it! I also had the otter box defender case and it was ok......

I came across the seidio rugged case with the extended 3500 mm battery and I have been happy ever since. Yeah the battery makes the phone bulky but it also last 2-3 days depending on usage .
[EVO 4G Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Alot of people slam the seidio rugged on here. I have the ballistic now but had the seidio rugged for months and loved it. Only reason i sold it was just wanted sumthin new. I like the fact the ballistic has the screen protector but twice a week i have to get the dust off of it. To be honest i dont see how you can go wrong with an otterbox defender seidio rugged or ballistic. All of those cases will hold up. And people always say i can smash out a window with this case or this or that lol thats just redicilious. You do lose your kickstand with seidio and otterbox kickstand is kinda cheezy which is to me the only difference. Honestly i just think the ballistic is the coolest lookin lol

Any one have a pic of the Seidio Rugged beside the Ballistic case? I have the Rugged now and love it!! Super tough case and looks good too. I am thinking about buying the Ballistic just because I want something new (had the Rugged for about 2 months now). I just want to see how much bigger the Ballistic is then the Rugged.

Also, does teh Ballistic come apart fairly easy? I take off my Rugged case every evening when I get home from work, and will do the same with the Ballisitic. I only use external chargers so I have to be able to this everyday. Thanks in advace to answers to either of these questions
[EVO 4G Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Id say the balistic is a little thicker when all the protection is on but with the seidio rugged you have to unhook the claws and then pull the rubber off then your left with just the innocase. The ballistic rubber comes right off and still leaves you with a good layer of protection. Im in the same boat as you had no issues with the seidio just wanted something new. I have the black on black but just ordered the red and black. Also the ballistic gives you a kickstand the seidio dosent

Ordered the Ballistic in red/black this morning. Hopefully it will be here the middle of next week. Guess I'll sell the Seidio Rugged when I get the Ballistic in....
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
I took some pics of both cases. Without the silicone outer cover, the Ballistic is about the same size as the Seidio Rugged. Once you put the silicone on, it's quite a bit bigger.

The Ballistic is definitely harder to take off than the Seidio, but it's not too bad once you are used to it. The biggest problem is you need to clean your screen and the inside of the screen protector every time you take the case apart or you will have dust stuck between the screen and the protector. I ended up taking the built in protector off and just using a regular screen protector. I think it works much better this way.

This is with the outer silicone on the Ballistic:

Without the outer silicone:

The thing stuck on the back of the case is for a magnetic holder in my car, it's not part of the case.
