I am using 'extended phone' dialer program. I really like the T9 lookup of contacts in this program. I would like to assign this program to the 'phone button' on my qtek9090 but I don't see this button in START -> SETTINGS -> POWER BUTTONS. Is it possible to assign 'other' programs to the phone button?

Yes it is! Phone Plus! www.mesoftware.biz!
Go to the settings of this prog, so, NOT to power buttons, but in the prog itself, go to settings and all works fine! I like it more then Extended Phone!!

Thanks! It seems PhonePlus (did not know it existed) is a beefed up version of 'extended phone'. Like it even better.
In my case PhonePlus is totally unreliable since it will stop responding to the GREEN SEND button.. eventually. :evil:
I have to admit, after using phoneplus a day or 10 I also get strange behaviour.. After picking up the phone with the green button it takes a couple of seconds before I can hear/speak through the phone. Uninstalling resolved the problem, too bad because I really liked the T9 contact lookup.

I prefer pBar. It has some problems with WM6 concerning the taskbar when using the clock display. But I've turned off this option. I've created a shortcut to my start menu, and assigned pBar to a hardware button
pbar, tman, say NO to x-button.
pbar is good but it came as an executable which i dropped into stratup.
i also put a shortcut on my start menu
but how can assign it to a hardware button?
. seems that only registered programs are in the drop down

If it is in Start Menu, it must appear in the "Buttons" menu in settings. so you can assign it to any HW button, I prefer voice button.
Dinarsoft Handyswitcher is light and useful to me...
SPB Pocket Plus
Pocket plus has a good task switcher like windows xp and you can set it to the voice record button then you can use it all the time.

It is not in the system folders. It is in settings menu that yo can acees with start menu. And buttons menu is in "personal" tab.
In the cooked ROM I was running on my 8525 the PTT button was set so press and hold ran the notes app in recorder mode and recorded until I released the button.
It seems to be a fairly common feature that about every *other* smartphone I buy has... And all the older ones and PDAs had it on their dedicated record buttons.
I just got a Tilt and did the regedit so I can assign the PTT button, but how do I make a press and hold start recording and do it until released? I can't figure out what link (or otherwise) was being called on my 8525... The closest I came was finding a Record.lnk in Windows\AppButtons but that's not it, because the link is bad on both my 8525 and the Tilt...
Strangely the Tilt comes with a new HTC app called voice recorder, but I don't see any real point in it or way to make it record like I want.
Nothin'? I know people have figured it out because it was added back to the Black Majik WM6 Rom I used on my 8525...
Made it so easy to record a quick not about where I parked or something to check on at word...
Try using a third party program like ae button plus or a freeware program there are many out there

You might want to follow my articles (even past ones); in the Sound Recorrding Bible, I explained it's Notes that you must look for. In Settings / Buttons, it's denoted as "Record". Just assign it to any hardware button and you're set.

Not needed - the basic OS supports this. Albeit, speaking of the button enhancers you've mentioned, you will want to read my latest Button Enhancer Bible.
Record isn't listed in the list of available programs to launch on a Press and Hold for button 6.
I can see it on my XV6700 assigned, but on the Tilt it isn't in the list ...

Now I understand what you mean. I've upped Record.lnk for you to http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/Record.lnk . Just put it in AppButtons and, if it can't be seen from Settings / Buttons, \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Thanks for the assist.
I did have a Record.lnk in the AppsButtons folder, but the shortcut indicated it was pointed at a program called: HotVoice.
I copied your link to both locations and was then able to assign Record to Press & Hold for Button 6.
Thanks again.
Glad it worked
The strange thing is, the broken Record.lnk in Windows\AppButtons, is ALSO broken on my 8525 but the functionality still works there somehow...
Thanks for your help! It didn't work at first for me, especially just clicking on the link... but once it showed up in the recent items in the start menu it showed up in settings|buttons and I was able to assign it to button 6 (press and hold). WORKS LIKE A CHARM NOW Even still seems to work after deleting it from Start Menu | Programs!
It'd be great if somebody could make a cab for 8925/Tilts that strips PTT and makes button 6 work, fixes this file and makes comm manager the default for button 6 press and record the default for press and hold... do it for the newbies... I'm no newbie (Started w/ MPX200... R.I.H.) but it took me a while to get it right (and the last step was iffy).
THANKS AGAIN though!!

I've tried this fix and have one question. After installing the link when I press and hold the button it opens notes not voice recorder. It works but it's opening the wrong app. Any way to fix this?
Hi all
I'm currently using WkTask and already know AltTab app, and i want to know if this is a normal issue of these two softwares:
when you are in any app, with others opened, (with assigned button) you can switch to any other without problem, and until now it's ok; but when i'm in the today screen, with all the apps minimized and try to switch/show (using the assigned button) the opened apps, i cannot, and it opens the win start menu!
Is this normal or not? I've this problem with WkTask and AltTab too!
Is there any way to open and choose the minimized apps using the button?
thanks in advance!
PS: I already tried to serarch related posts, and also to ask in concerning threads but i had no answer!
Ciao
No one can answer me??! pls
I use wktask.
I created a shortcut called "AltTab" which calles
"wktastkcmd.exe" /f
I assigned a button to this shortcut. It will allways swich you to the next task. When all task are minimized (you are on home screen) it will open the first one.
Hope that helps.

Hi dude,
thx for your tweak!!
I tried it and works, as you said! Than i realized a strange issue:
it also works, without any changes in the schortcut, but assigning to it different buttons, and exactly:
-> directly works with "OK" and "Win Menu" buttons, normal or long press
-> doesn't work with "IE" and "Mail" buttons, normal or long press
I don't know why, but these buttons have different effect on softwares!!
However, i added it to "OK" long press button and it select the minimized app in the upper bar showing me also the name just below the selectoion and by the arrows i can switch to the others one still minimized!
Thnaks for your contribution!
Ciao
Is there any way I can configure the 'back' button on my Pro to actually, close programs instead of just leaving them running in the background eating up resources???
I've set the "tap x to close programs" setting but it doesn't seem to make any difference and I really hate having to press that little "x" key in the top right corner with my big thumbs!!! I also checked out the "Raphael Tweaks" but nothing on there either.
Anyone got any ideas????

I use WkTask manager that actually close programs with back button.
Disable HTC task manager and install WkTask (freeware).

I think every task manager which does it's job will do that, exept the HTC Task Manager crap.
OK this is really getting me down now!!!
these various task managers, like the default HTC app, all close the application when you TOUCH the 'x' button but they don't do it if you press the hardware <- 'back' button??
I also notice that unlike my Artemis when you go into settings -> buttons only 1 button action, Button 1 (hold), is available. where the other 3 buttons are is a mystery button 1 btw turns out to be the phone send button.
So my question is two fold, before I throw my TP out the nearest window...
1. does anybody know of a way to configure a TP so that when you press the back button it actually closes the application?
2. anybody know if there is a registry key or someway to add the other 3 hardware buttons to the settings -> buttons configuration app??
Pls help before I go totally MAD!!!

Hooooo Rahhhhhhhh I found a solution... and it's called HandySwitcher from Dinar Soft and it works perfectly. You have to pay for it but I would willingly pay 10 times the 10 Euro price tag to keep my sanity!!!
You could try AE Button Plus to map different functions to existing buttons (including single, double, triple click and long press).
I've never used wktask, omg.. Why?
Its so nice... thanks for this thread lol
only thing I miss is the memory usage in % that htc task manager got
Not tried AE Buttton but I did try WKTask and I thought the interface was a bit "clunky" to be honest but more importantly the hardware mode didn't work so using the <- button didn't actually close the applications which was what I was looking for.
How do you set the green star "My favorite" button the VzW tp2?
On the "getting started" app that launches when I hit it, I follow the link to
a 2nd screen that lists 7 rows:
Send Key (Hold) - voice command
Button - <context menu>
button - <today>
button - <context menu>
button - <context menu>
button - <context menu>
Favorite - PIAgenda
The last one I updated to try and launch my application. But I get an error
stating "Each program button must have a unique button assignment. Please
Select a different button assignment".
There are 7 hard/physical buttons on the tp2, but I'm not sure its referring
to those. How on earth do I get that green star to launch what I want?

I had this same problem with a Sprint TP2. Now I know you probably don't wanna hear this... but after contacting HTC, they told me it shouldn't be that way and before they would even help me further, they wanted me to do a hard reset. After the heard reset, though, it cleared and, so far, I haven't had the "Each program button must have a unique button assignment. Please Select a different button assignment" error, YET.
I cannot be certain this would work for your TP2 (or Tilt 2, as I think it's called at Verizon), but is an Option.

Hard reset.. yeah that would be hard. I dont have a "Backup" solution yet. so nothing is really saved. I did install all my apps, except pocket informant on the SD card, but I doubt stuff would work after a hard reset. I've not really come across some really strong recommendation on a decent backup and recovery app.
That said. I just somewhat blindly changed some of the "button" settings and things are working. I dont know what all those "settings" or for on the tp2. if you navigate to that screen what is listed in your settings now?
Since the reset, I've only had one option in there... that is Send Key (Hold) - voice command.
As for a back-up option... I would sync your photos, app install files, and any music that you don't have on your computer already to your computer (via ActiveSync (downloaded from Microsoft) or Mobile Device Center (Included with Vista and Win7) or some other program of your choosing).
Then I would goto http://myphone.microsoft.com/. There you can download the Microsoft myPhone app. After installation, it will ask you to log in to your windows live account (usually the same as an MSN.com, live.com, hotmail.com e-mail address). Then it will ask you what you want to back up, tell it documents, contacts, and text messages. It bing your first time backing it up, may take a while.
Once that is finished and is confirmed that it has backed up (app on phone will tell you if there are any errors), do a hard reset.
After the Hard reset, reinstall the Microsoft myPhone. Log in with the same Windows Live ID as before and it will sync all data on the server to your phone.
Then it is only a matter of checking to see if that cleared the problem (only one button assignment, or more if your carrier programed it that way, contact them to be sure). Install your apps one at a time, checking the button assignment program after each instal/initial run of your apps. If it show back up after installing a certian app, then it is probably the one causing the problem.
It it doesn't show back up, then problem solved.
I do hope this helps ya.
I had this problem too. It wouldn't even let you switch to the keyboard backlight.
But if your on Verizon, it has been fixed with MR1 (WM6.5).

I am on Verizon. MR1? that's the same at WM6.5? Perhaps it will be fixed once VzW actually releases their WM6.5 for the TP2

You could also just click on each of the "context menu" options and select "none". No hard reset necessary. The reason why the hard reset worked for the previous poster is because it may have defaulted to the way it was before the settings were touched. All I had to do is make sure the "Context Menu" buttons said "None" and presto. All done with no errors and no hard reset required. Hope this helps.
