Any way to create a shortcut to toggle bluetooth on and off on the home screen? Or any other way to quickly toggle BT without having to go to comm manager? What about creating shortcuts to other programs on the home screen without a third party app?
Also, how can I restore the right soft-key to Programs?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Thanks man.

Thanks for the help guys. BT Toggle works great. AEButtons works, except when I set a program or Wifi On\Off Toggle to long press of a button on the Touch Pro it disables the single press default function (such as volume up or down or up\down arrow).
Do you have this problem as well?

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

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
Is there an application that can be placed as an icon in the Taskbar to turn the WiFi ON or OFF without opening up the Comm Manager program? I have one for BT, but I can't find the same application for WiFi.
I use a button remapping tool for this:
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus_t.html
AE Button Plus is a small app that can rebind your hardware buttons. It has the ability to bind the actions: toggle wifi and toggle BT. I use it on my XDA Orbit - I've set it so that holding down the messaging button for a second toggles BT and holding down the IE button toggles wifi.
You could bind the red and green phone buttons for this, or even the volume slider. E.g. holding the volume slider up for 1 second to toggle BT.
But if you need the taskbar icon BatteryStatus might do the trick.

Is there any way that using voice button intead of power button?
the power button is widely used.
when unlock the device , lock the device[turn off screen lock key] and watching time,i offen push the power button ,many times a day.
so i am afraid of the power buttom will be loose or bad,it looks so sicker than any other button.
and i have a opinion that want to give the voice button the locking and unlocking function.
the voice button[on the left side upon the p3650]
is there any software or by changing the regredit ,can do that ?
You could download PHM Suspend PowerToy and either put it in your Start Menu apps or map one of the buttons to that program using using the button mapper in control panel.
There are many applications that allow this, and there are ways to do it manually also. VITO ButtonMapper is one. Search the forum and you'll find more options.
Alternatively, you could set your phone to turn the screen off after less time. Or you could set a long press of the hang-up key to lock the screen. Both of these options are available in control panel.

thanks a lot .

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.

PK

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.

Hi XDA community,
Yesterday I was remapping and customizing my first Samsung device. I don't know what I did either on Good Lock or on the settings or anywhere else, but somehow I set my side key to flashlight when holding down the side key button. I remember changing side key button to Power off menu. Please help, this is driving me nuts . Thank you in advance.

Look for "Double Press" using the settings search tool,it'll take you right to it & turn it off.

Hi thank you for your response. My Double Press is currently set to Quick launch camera, I'm good with this. But the Press and hold is set to Power off menu, but instead it turns on the flashlight,
Thank you I found it. I set in bixby routines. lol

I was just getting ready to suggest going into the Bixby settings, as I didn't find anything in any of the GoodLock modules that I have installed.
I currently have Bixby disabled by a desktop client (ADB AppControl), otherwise, that would have been my next move.
Glad you got that resolved.
