Is there a way to map one of the buttons or make a shorcut or something so you can turn bluetooth on and off with it.
Or better yet, is there a way to make bluetooth always on when the phone is charging.
Thanks as always
I'm not aware of any app to map bluetooth activation to a button press, but there is an application that will turn on/off bluetooth depending on your physical location. Check it out here.
This isn't a question for the ROM Development forum. In the future, please avoid asking these types of questions here.
Thanks!
Like Alex said, this is better posted in the Kaiser General Forum. In that forum I found the following post: HERE
The app CircleBT can be installed and then assigned to any button you want. I have it assigned to Button 6 Long Press and VibraSwitch (another great program) assigned to just Button 6.
Won't help w/ the Bluetooth on while charging question, but hopefully it will do you some good.

I want to map the green "phone" ("send") button to work as speakerphone with long keypress when phone is used, but I can't find any info.
OTOH I notice most ROMs use long press for this button and map usually wireless managers, which would be fine if it would work that way only when phone is not in use (and 'restore' the speakerphone function for long press when phone is in use) but I have not seen such solution yet. Has anyone done/try this?

Hi,
Deleting Long_Send.lnk might restore original function of long press send key sir,.
Hope it help,.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can have two different functions based on context. AdvancedConfig has an option to map pretty much anything to the long send.

Well, I was thinking about something more complex than I can do myself, hence my post here.
Idea is to make a small applet which will switch the function of the button based on the processes running (or other ways to determine it) and assigning different shortcut to this button. I.e. when the phone is connected it will assign speakerphone to the "send - long press", when phone is not in use it would redirect "send - long press" to the wireless manager, if you know what I mean (sorry my english); so virtually mapping the "green" button to this app could achieve that, no?
intersted also in your send key LKP!!

Bump....
I also want exactly the same setup! Great minds think alike!
Your mention about the wireless manager sounds a handy idea also, and I am at present having to use a long keypress on the left hand hardware 'record' button. This is fine, but I also have it mapped to normal press = audio record. But want to use it for something else at some point.The more buttons free the better. To be able to have the sent button act on a long key press to work the speakerphone seems to me like something that should actually be in place by default. I mean, what better way to start the speakerphone!!
I do hope someone is able to shed some light on this, or you manage to pull it off yourself you can count me in to try the fix etc.
PS:: Would a MORT SCRIPT help in this situation I wonder? I am not familiar with MS but sure someone may know a way round it.

Thanks for your kind support
I wrote about this year or more ago on another forum, but few responses I got were discouraging at best.
I think if we could do such "app", we could use it for all the buttons and change their "assignments" based on the currently running apps...
With scripts we can do things like rename "Long_Send.lnk" into "Long_Send.disabled" (for example) instantly, and rename it back to "Long_Send.lnk" when i.e. pressed again. But the problem is that I don't know how to "detect" and use it in the scripts what is currently running and discriminate between foreground and background processes that are currently running?
Because what if you have two (or more!) programs that are using the same button assignments but for different purposes and both are running in the same time? say you are on the phone talking - thus long_send is assigned to speakerphone, and you also run (for example) windows media player where you assigned same green button to fullscreen display? The scripts cannot tell which one is running in the foreground by themselves, and (in this example) holding green button could bring the WMP to fullscreen instead of turning on speakerphone. Beforewe use mortscript to "activate" apropiate script, we need to know which process was started last (so - per my example - we would know that the phone was last started and not the WMP, and mortscript would run "speakerphone script for green button" instead of "fullscreen wmp script for green button"... and there is another problem: the phone is always ON on our PocketPCs since boot, and it is running all the time in the background, so it will have to differentiate between phone being active and phone in the "waiting" state...). Apologies if I sound incomprejensible, I tried to make it clearer but I don't know is it less gibberish
to cut it short: I don't think it can be done with simple scripts. But of course I may be wrong.
In theory it should work this way:
1 Long_Send.lnk -> starts our "app"
2 "App" checks what program is currently running on the screen (in the forground, or last started etc)
3 "App" executes apropiate action assigned for this program (i.e. speakerphone for active phone call, or wireless manager for today screen, etc etc)
4 "App" releases/removes/disables the action from previous step and changes it back to the state it was before when the foreground program is closed (i.e. changes back long_send from assignment to speakerphone back to default once the phone call ended)
sounds simple, doesn't it?
Is there a way to assign a button (preferably begin or end call) to toggle wifi? I find myself turning it on and off even when home since it's such a battery hog.
TIA!!!,
Richard
yeah, that would be good
or even an .exe that toggles wifi would be great, so I would put in the programs tab
I hate opening commmanager every time

Yep, an exe would work fine!
Just posted the same on the other thread but here is the solutions.
After a quick search on Google I found a freeware application HButton. This program has a wifi toggle and it can be set to PTT button to turn on/off wifi. I just not tested this program and it is working fine. Here is the link for the program

I use AE Button Plus. I remapped my Fuze's PTT button to toggle WiFi and the Torchlight on longpresses.

When I was using AEBP to do this, I found two problems: first, the action I assigned to single-press was also being performed by the Home key. (Obviously, that can be avoided by just leaving single-press unassigned or by not using the Home key.) Second, I found that keys on my slide-out QWERTY would occasionally repeat 6-8 times, some random key every 20-40 keystrokes.
Are you not having these problems with AEBP? If not, could you explain in a bit more detail which method you used to disable the AT&T PTT functionality and how you assigned that key in AEBP? Thanks!

My pleasure.
I'm looking for something similar to toggle of/one EvDO on Verizon.
I'm in a poor signal area and my battery gets killed when it keeps going between 1x and EvDO.
I'd like to have some easy way (I do it now through the ##* "secret" menu, but it's enough of a pain that it's not worth it) to do this.
Any ideas?
well for the wifi problem you just could have pressed an hold the answer button. the wifi tab opens and you can toggle WLAN, Bluetooth an phone
I just got my ATT Fuze and flashed it with ROMOSe 1.40
Is there any program / cab which will reassign the PTT button to turn wifi on/off. I can assign the PTT button for the comm manager but thats the closest I can come for wifi on/off.
I had Treo Pro briefly and it has a dedicated hard ware button to turn wifi on-off. It would be really nice to have this functionality on Fuze.
there are already a bunch of threads on the topic of reassigning the ptt button. Instead of starting a new thread why not search for one of those threads ... ??

This functionality is available using AE Buttons Plus. Unfortunately, because of the fact that it causes keys on the keyboard to repeat randomly when the PTT button is mapped, I can't really recommend it.
I'm sure it's trivial to write such a program, though, with the appropriate tools. Perhaps someone will volunteer.
There are threads on the ptt remap, but not on mapping wifi on/off to ptt or any other key. :-(

you are right. What really happens when the wifi is turned on in the comm manager settings -- is there any exe programs being executed to turn the wifi on -- if so then that exe file / program can be mapped to PTT button. I am just guessing here. Somebody with detailed knowledge may be able to explain more.

Hi,
I'm coming from a Dell x51v, a really great device. My Blackstone will arrive in the next days, so I'm reading through all the great stuff here in order to be prepared for my new device .
I'm wondering if there is any application like "Wireless Power" for the x51v. This application makes it possible to enable/disable the wifi and bluetooth with pressing just one button. By pressing the button more often it is possible to enable/disable the wifi and bluetooth separately, so you really need only this one button for any connections. For those of you, who don't know the program, just take a look here.
I know that the Blackstone has phone and gps functionalities beside the bluetooth and wifi ones, but maybe there is something similar for the Blackstone, or any other HTC. I know that it is possible to assign certain buttons with certain actions, but not in that clear way, where the application is indicating the state of your connections.
Best regards
johnpatcher
Is there nobody able to help me out ?
I don't have a blackstone myself but the touch hd doesn't have many buttons to begin with. You could assign a button to the comm manager (i suggest using h-button, you can assign multiple programs to one button) and access everything from there. Otherwise it may be accomplishable through mortscript mouse click actions, but i have not seen a program that assigns all the comm manager actions to a single button.
In WM 6.5.x we no longer have the HTCVolumeChanger, but have the horrible WM volume changer, which isn't finger friendly at all.
My question to you, is what alternatives do you guys use?
you could look at SetVolume app.
Also look in TAEL ROM threads as have some relevant posts on this.
Personally I use the volume button & also use a volume bubble app which allows volume to be increased in smaller % steps, not finger friendly but esy via d-pad & button mapping.
im using setvolume now but it changes my ringer on whenever i get a call on vibrate so im looking for something else
ill try the TAEL thread
do you have any idea where?
Another app you could look at is volumekeys.
Do a search for "HTC volume control" & you should find plenty of threads on it, I don't think it is easily resolved but you may get lucky.
