Hi guys, Just wondering if there is any media player that will allow me to set the next track function to lots of different buttons.
Basically i want to set all the face buttons well 1-9 and * and #, just so when its in my pocket i can prod my phone to change the tracks and not have to find a specific button. I have wmp and tcpmp on my phone now so if theres a way for either of those that would be great.
Cheers.

p.s cool forums btw already found plenty cool stuff on here.
Ok guess not, nevermind. What about my headset, it has the button to accept calls etc could i map that to the next function? ive tryed in wmp but doesnt recognise it. Also when i double click the button on my headphones it rings one of my contacts which ive done accidently once or twice now, anyway to stop this?
Cheers.

Hi all! I have an xdaiis & its running o2 1.40. I often listen to music whilst out however haven't found a way of listening to media player but not allowing the unit to function by an accidental tap of the screen or a button, and pressing power stops media player too. Is there a way of stopping this?
Thanks
Leo
You could use one of the many software tools available to lock your PDA until you unlock it via a specific combination of keypresses - I had one on my own XDA until I hard reset it - can't remember what it's called right now, but the icon is just a yellow padlock.
listening to music with your device off
Leo,
I accidently found the solution to your problem !!
Start the media player and then press the centre button of the navigation pad to black out the screen. The media player will continue playing songs without the device coming alive by accidental pressing of button or tapping on the screen. To bring it back, press the centre button of the navigation tab again.
Try and see if it works for you.

The Action button (centre D-Pad) on my 2i switches between play and pause in my install of Windows Media Player 10, just for the record.
Turn display off
go to wmp settings or options and navigate to buttons.. assign a button for display toggle.. Tat solves u
Thanks for your help guys!
Unfortunately the screen toggle only works with the screen & my buttons are still activated which my krussel case always presses against.
Anyone know of a way of stopping the buttons too? It's crazy that it has been designed this way!
Thank you
Leo

Try DeltaLock. It's very small and simple, and does just what you're looking for.

Problem is solved! Thank you ramjet73, Carty, christopherwoods & phantom1261 for your help! Now i can easily listen to music without being charged because GPRS connects!
Thanks again!

So, here's my situation:
After I go to the gym, I like to go to the hot tub. That's simple. What I do is put my Mogul in my backpack and play music through my HT820 Motorola headphones. Also easy. Problem is: I have shuffle through my WHOLE collection of music on my storage card to get anywhere, which can take minutes sometimes. Enter MSVC.
This seemed like the best thing for my needs, the only problem is that it requires hitting the blasted Voice Command button on the phone in order for it to do anything. Which, in my case, is not exactly possible (As the steam would probably degrade/destroy my phone). So, I was wondering whether or not it was possible to assign the Voice Command button to the right "M" button on the headphones. Unfortunately, after pairing the devices on the offchance that that button showed up under the "buttons" menu, I realized it wasn't going to be quite that easy. So... In summation... Is this possible at all, or is there some other means of accomplishing it?
Bumpity bump bump, as I could really use some help on this.
Did you want someone to read through the posts on assigning buttons for you and retype the answers here? I have some time next Thursday and can do that for you.
are you sure you are using your headset right , I have a sony ericsson hbh 970 stereo headset, and that has a button on it, that activates VC for me ! maybe you need to press and hold something.

Don't worry about it.
Does anyone know of a program that will let me remap what the buttons (volume) on my BT headset control? I would like them to control the up and down on my phones D pad when I am using the TV out on my Touch Pro. This way I can kill two birds with one stone. I can put to use one of my old crappy headsets and walk around the room while doing a powerpoint presentation. It seems pretty simple but in searching around I havent found anything...
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure the only data hardware key on your headset is the Call button. the volume keys don't transfer any data to your device.
I doubt you can remap them.
ahhh yes. Didnt think about that. Darn it. foiled again.
It is still possible for you to use the call button for 'down' to go forward a page.
Check out my posts on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435742.
You should be able to adjust this to suit your needs by putting a value of 40 in vjkeypress for down.
just wondering.. but why not use your phone for powerpoint presentations rather than the headset?
I finally customized my mega the way I wanted it to be when I initially bought it. I'm also running a 6.5.5 rom. Unfortunately I still have some issues with it and I was wondering if someone knew anything about them. First of them is if it would be possible to remove the start soft key in the bottom left corner of the screen. That would be nice since the mega already has a hardware start key and the one on the screen becomes redundant. It would be nice if we would just have two soft keys in the bottom corners
Also, I looked for a solution for the ugly volume manager in these last builds but couldn't really find one. I tried other volume managers like setvolume but that one is buggy even with answering phone calls. I find that unacceptable because most of all, it's a phone. So maybe if we could restore the default one or use another one without so many bugs that would be great. I saw somewhere that a solution was already available but for vga phones. Maybe that could be ported to qvga
I am with you on this. Would love to see these fixes.
I need theses fixes too!!! WM 6.5.5 has bad interface...
Why does the volume control must be so fat and ugly??
The most important thing is volume control in the youtube app sucks!
I wish someone can fix the volume control to use back the original HTC one.
Erm ok, the problem is even when the default HTC Volume control is implemented in the ROM, for some reason WM 6.5.5 overwrites that. I tried a few times. I think that sucks cos I'm a student , and my phone needs to be on silent. But the new volume control can be activated on the lockscreen so I'm afraid it would turn silent off. Any suggestions for this?

There's a nice app called SetVolume that does the trick quite nicely. Also, there's a cab that can remove the start button. I lost the cab but there's a registry tweak that does the job. You can search for it.
I found it very unconvinient to stop MP3 player (if someone is talking to you, or you want to listen for some message at the station). Especially I it is not show the Player screen after unlock.
Is there a way to use one of the HARDWARE keys to stop/start playing?
In that way I miss my SonyE mobile ...
I know there should be a way to reassign hardware keys to play/pause somehow, but I don't know the specifics.
Generally, if you lock while the media player tab or the media player itself is open and visible, it should be visible right after unlock.
Another option you could try is S2U2 with S2P
S2U2 is an unlocking program and S2P is a media player
S2U2 can display the media controls of S2P on the unlocking screen itself, saving you of a mere couple of presses. However S2U2 is extremely ugly without a proper skin so you might want to look into those.

I SO get that.
I want to be able to press a button and stop playback, while leaving the phone in my pocket. Its allways a hassle to pull it out, unlock it, press the appropriate touch-button and than be able to listen to the guy who just said something to you!
this is the second threat today where I just want my old Herm300 back.. loads of hardware buttons, all mapable, everything just "working"... and a hardware keyboard lol oh how I miss THAT.
