Volume Buttons on 750v Not Working - Palm Treo 750

When I try to use the volume up/down buttons on the side of my Treo, it shows the battery status pop-up. VERY annoying.
I don't know how this happened...when I first got my Treo the volume worked fine...a pop-up showed that allowed me to control either the system volume or phone volume seperatlely.
Anyone? TIA

what software have you installed? i recall a certain app causing the volume button to display battery status.

If you installed SPB PLUS this is a known BUG

Yep...it was SPB Plus...thanks for the quick answer! It was driving me nuts (since I didn't remember when the problem started & wouldn't have realized the correlation w/SPB.)

How to lock screen when running

Ofcourse I can lock the screen by pressing the power button (and having de XDA go standby), but I wish to lock the screen while listening to mp3's.... How can I lock the screen ? If I need a separate application, please let me know your suggestions ....

If you meant that you wanted to switch off the screen without putting the XDA on standby, here's how. Just assign one of the buttons to "Screen Toggle" when Windows Media Player is running. On the Windows Media Player menu, select Tools->Settings->Buttons. Then map one of the buttons, such as Button 2 (Contacts), to "Screen Toggle". After that, pressing the mapped button will switch the screen on and off.

I tried this 3 times and each time when I press the button (I assigned button 3- the camera button) I got a strange black and white flashing strobe on the screen which I couldnt get out of without a soft reset. Anyone else had this or knows how to deal with it?

Dunno how to deal with it but I can confirm that I have exactly the same issue. Screen Toggling does not work and ends up in a flash show that doesn't look very healthy for the display.
works fine on xda 1 running ppc2003 :\ any programs to make the screen do this automatically? say if i was to run tomtom gps?

Work's fine with my XDA2, no problems at all, I assigned button 2 to the screen.
no problem doing it for me with xda with 2002 rom 3.1804
Also works fine on my XDA II. have you tried using the Calenda/Contacts buttons to toggle the screen instead of the camera button? Just a thought.
try this nifty lil program i found on emule works great on pc2002/2003 i have jog button installed to my calendar button just press the button and the screens off press power button to turn back on very simple or hold my calendar button down and the calendar coems up
just transfer to your xda/pda and click it to turn screen off or toggle it to one of your buttons

Screenoff works perfect, but how do you manage to let the calendar button have a double function?
Found a prog cald jogbutton here http://www.yorch.net/downloads/JogButtonSetup.zip, but this doesn't seem to work on Pocket PC PE 2003.
job button works fine on ppc2003 i have it on my xda :\ just assign calendar or contacts to job button then load up jog button click on setup then apply it to the progs you want it to open.
prob i found with pc2002 with screen off is it doesnt come back on with the power button lol so here is screen on for peeps with pc2003 no need to install this if on pc2003 as it works fine on it
use button plus v2.0 from yorches site i find it better then jog button as it allows double tap buttons and doesnt go crazy when turniong screen off on tomtom 2 lol

I'm not withyou on this jog button thing bro. Can you talk us thru it again from the start. I have this program installed and cant get it to do anything. Much thanx...
install jog button then.....
assign either contacts or the calendar button to the shortcut in th startmenu so it starts up jog button.
then hold the button down you assigned it too....
you will see setup appear i nthe bottom left hand corner with the button still held in click on setup using the stylus then assign programs from within that menu its very simple to do :roll:
anyway found a better program its called button plus v2.0 download it from yorches site in the software section works much nicer

Volume buttons acting as scroll

After some time of running the device volume buttons are acting as scroll. This can be good.. but the TouchFlow volume window comes up and it is very annoying.
The only way to revert this "feature" is to power down (soft reset does not do nothing).
Has anybody else observed this "feature"?
I'm looking for a tweek to change function of volume buttons for scroll buttons - looking veeeeeeery hard !

B.
I've found the problem: it was caused by SKScheMa (used it to lock touch screen on incoming call)

Change Volume buttons to scroll buttons

Hi all,
Been looking around for a way to change my volume buttons so that i can use it to scroll up and down (using goodlink and everytime i click on a item it goes into that item and not do a show preview on the preview panel)
Does anyone know of a bit of kit that would do this job? Have looked at "advanced config" but cant seem to find a way to change/map the volume buttons to make them scroll up and down a list.
Thanks
Sorry all...looks like i answered myy own question. Finally found the below to sort out what i need and it works with the topaz!.
Sorry for the same and FYI the thread is below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409243&highlight=remap+volume
"What works for me is AEButton Plus (payware, no affiliation). I have reconfigured my volume buttons to single press = arrow up/down and long press to volume. The program has a nice function: you can choose to let the volume buttons have their default behavior during a phonecall.."
Fine, thank u. And it works on your Touch Diamond 2 Topaz?
yep works a treat on my Diamond 2 topaz
...i do have netcf 3.5 installed before i installed AE buttons aswell for other programs (not sure if that will matter for AE buttons)
im not really getting along with it.
cant see the optino for changing what the volume keys do etc.
Also, would it be possible to set a longer hold of the End Key that would launch the camera application and be used as shutter button?
Thanks
Hmm, interesting thoughts! Especially if the remap is done automatically, and only when the camera is launched.

I believe this issue with scrolling will be resolved with WM6.5 when you can slide the bar up/down to do a selection. In the meantime I use a simple method to scroll/select - say a SMS message. I open the abc phone pad (icon at bottom of screen) and then use the up/down keys (at the bottom) to scroll.
AE Button Plus
Just to confirm.. AE Button Plus DOES allow you to remap the volume buttons to up/down arrows. Just installed it on mine (Touch Diamond 2) and it works perfect.
The setting-up routine isn't obvious though.
When you see your list of keys in AEBP, pres and HOLD on the "Volume up" item. Takes a few seconds for the config menu to pop up.
I then used the following options from the config screen:-
3. Handle by AEBPlus
1. Single Press
5. Press Up arrow key
Then do the same for the Volume Down key, obviously changing the last option to 6. Press Down arrow key.
Then File/Save & Exit, and off you go.

This program can assign any of the hardware buttons to do what you want...
I've set the back button Launch the 'camera' app if it is held for a while and to act as the capture button when taking a picture. It also acts like a normal 'back' button when in other apps such as file explorer,opera, etc.

You can remap all your hardware buttons.

Adjusting in call volume does not work

Hello, I have the following problem.
I'm using a HTC Touch Diamond2 with the Topaz ESSentiaL v2.2.1 ROM (German).
If I want to adjust the volume of the Phone during a call, it happens nothing. I am using the HTC Volume Control. The other 2 volumes (system and ringer) can be adjusted without any problem.
But if I press the up/down key during a call, nothing happens, not even a window pops up.
Is there any way to get the volume control working without switching back to the standard Windows Mobile volume control? Or does anyone know the registry key for the in call volume so that I can adjust it manually?
Thanks
Chris
Does nobody have an idea? Or is there maybe a CAB to reinstall the HTC Volume Control to make it work again?

[Q] volume buttons issue

No, I have a different volume bug though. When my phone is on silent or vibrate only, sometimes when I try to increase volume by pressing volume up button the volume increase overlay window appears (as expected) showing that my volume is increasing. But the silent or vibrate icon in my notification bar does not disappear, and in fact my volume has not increased at all.
This is intermittent and the only way I have found of fixing it is to reboot the phone.
