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

CONFIRMED, this is how to keep that annoying PTT message from coming up on American Touch Pro's (Fuze maybe? whatever).
Keep in mind, you can't individually map this button with this method, that may come later.
Step 1: Registry editor, remove HKLM/Services/PTT
Step 2: Create a key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys called "40C2"
Step 3: Create a string within that key, titled Name with the value being "Button 6" or whatever
Step 4: Soft reset.
From this point on you can remove 40C2, but your PTT button will simply perform with a press what your send button performs with a hold (which can be remapped easily... Settings/Buttons/Button1(Hold)).
NOTE: This apparently doesn't work on all Fuzes, trying to work that out now. It worked with my pre-release, but I'll update this post if a better way is found. Apparently on at least 1 Fuze it only DISABLES the PTT button.
Bump, a few people have asked about this, so bring it up to the top.

I don't have means to create a cab, nor do I still have the phone, so I couldn't help ya... It's really not difficult though, if you want just grab a registry editor like PHM and do those quick steps. Another note, I think you have to hard reset to get PTT functionality back. Or maybe replacing the PTT part of the registry will make it work again, not sure. I know soft resets and removing the 40C2 will not change it back to working PTT.

FWIW, this does not remap the PTT button my Fuze. It disables it - which is definitely a plus because I can't stand the annoying PTT message that came up when I accidentally pressed the button - but it doesn't remap it to the same functionality that the Button 1 (Hold) has.

Well, that's good to know... Perhaps the pre-release was different? Check if you can add another button to your available mappable buttons. Instead of deleting it leave the reg key there, then go to settings>map buttons or wherever it was. Is there a Button 6 there now?

It shows up as available to map but if you map it to anything, it doesn't work. I tried press and I tried press-and-hold and I tried every registry key from 40C0 through 40CF. I have a feeling the TF3D is somehow managing the keypress actions but I'm not sure how. Hopefully once the Fuze is in full release someone can figure it out!
My fuze doesn't have button remap option
I think I've got an official release, and when I go to settings-buttons all I get is button 1 hold option, it's set to Voice Command, which is fine.
Advanced config has some soft key remap options, but ptt isn't in there.
I don't have any option for PTT/button 5 or any other. Has anyone tried the slueth pttfix cab that worked on the 8525 in great fashion?

Well I had the same thing with my pre-release, button 1 = holding send. When I put the 40C2 key in there it linked the PTT button to "button 1", so both had the same function. Not perfect, but a hell of a lot better than seeing an annoying "Initialize PTT service?" message when I hit the button accidentally while playing teeter.
when i had the offical at&t rom, i couldnt find a way of remapping. but now that i've flashed romeos rom, it's automatically remapped to comm manager. so i can turn on my bluetooth, wifi, etc with 2 clicks, real convinent

I'm finalizing my "lite" AT&T ROM which I will release as soon as I can acquire a Fuze and test it. It will (hopefully) have Voice Command mapped to PTT, and Comm Manager mapped to Long Press PTT.
I'm still working on the exact reg keys, and I've stripped out 70+ MB of junk, so the ROM should be pretty snappy.

Good (yet unexpected) to see you jumped ship from the Kaiser, I know a few people that are too attached to get a Fuze.

As soon as it was announced, I decided it was time to jump. I skipped the 8525 launch, and wore the hell out of my 8125 because, at the time, 3G didn't mean anything to me. However, the Fuze has improved on the Tilt is just about every way... I rarely "tilted" the Tilt anyway.
We, the end users of the world, salute you....
Next I'll be asking how to flash the rom and get the "traditional" black TF3D theme... lol
Thanks again!
If someone can figure out how to map it to be a camera button like the one on tytn Id be super grateful and could def make a paypal donation for the cause
I've tried this with my release Fuze and it doesn't work. It disabled PTT but it did not map that button to the same as button 1 hold. A button 6 does show up in the buttons menu, but when I try to map it to anything, nothing happens when I press it.
PTT Wont remapp
Thank for the start on the reg edit but I still cant re map the ATT Fuzes PTT Button. I got the PTT alert Msg to go away after I Deleted its reg. and Button6 now show in the button remapping menu, but No matter I assign to it, it wont work even after many soft restarts.
Any ideas?
Thx for help
Yea, a remap to camera button would be awesome.
Thanks.

Has anyone come up with working solution for mapping hw keys?
I found this thread on Diamond, but no help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398280
I am using AEKMap to enable both latin/cyrillic input on my TP's hw keyboard. You may google it and give it a try.
There is no need for additional software, just follow this post and you'll get the answer. Worked for me.
Try AE Button Plus.
B.
I think you did not quite follow me here.
I dont mean to change layout of QWERTY, but hw-keys like "Back" and "Home" at front panel of TP.
This is becaus I find home and back quite useless and would much more prefer to have ALT+TAB (change program) and close program (REALLY close them, not leave running background as back seems to randomly do).

Anyone know of any reg-hacks maybe?
I've got Spb PocketPlus 4 installed btw, and it's got a button mapping function as well...
But when i go into the buttons map, some weird black icons appear with no name attached to it. Can anyone make anything of this? As you can see i've been able to map one thing only: the Spb close-button-contex-menu, which allows me to switch task KW-buttons only....
But this is not enough for me, i need ALT-TAB aswell and off course a VoiceCommand button.
And regrettably the Rapael doesn't have that many HW keys to start with...
I want also to use Home/Back buttons for different purposes,but I didn;t found a solution yet.
Gotten a step closer to what i really need over this weekend:
In the button dialogue (with extra generated buttons by Spb PP+4) there was only one other button that had a name...
So i tried this one and go figure: it seems to be the " <= " (or 'back') button. In the dialogue it's called the OK button. I've got it set to the close contaxt menu now, and mapped Voicecommand to long-pressed answer key...
So far, this setup is to my satisfaction, and after two months of use this phone finaly behaves completely the way i want it to...

AEBP will also *learn* any keys it doesn't have. So you could use the "Add Button" option, press your Home key, and away you go.
The way I have it set up, holding down the phone key will activate voice command (default behavior).
But remember, assigning commands to the Home or OK buttons (that "Back" button is actually an "OK" button) doesn't unmap what they normally do so you will always go home first and then it will perform <x>-function that you assign.
Personally, I don't like to program the Home or OK buttons because I find that they are "trickier" to press. What I mean is, if you tap the OK button near it's center or close to the left, it doesn't register a press. If you tap it sort of with the long part of your thumb (which is more natural when holding the device in one hand), it registers it. I've tried this with two TP's now and the button behaved the same way on both. Due to this, I find it unreliable to map anything to it.
In any case, as I mentioned earlier, the Volume buttons, Phone and End keys will be unmapped once you attach AEBP to them but the others will not.
Oh -- I forgot to mention, you can map the directional pad as well if that is your thing.
so it works with SPB PocketPlus ?

It does work, but it sends an OK command first.
I wrote a little utility for hard-coded buttons such as these for another Pocket PC I had (an ASUS P527) called "DoNothing.exe" but we can't apply that work-around here. What I would do is replace the EXEs of apps the hardware keys called with my DoNothing.exe, but in the case of the TP, we definitely don't want to replace START.EXE (which I believe to be the likely EXE (haven't tested this)).
If I find a way to map those buttons reliably, I will let you know, tk_Berlin. So far tho, I've been quite pleased with just using the four buttons I mentioned. The more I use this device and the more I ponder my decision to stay with TFL3D instead of the normal WM interface, the more I realize that I don't need half the add-ons I used to use prior to having TF3D. I am accustomed to very, very, very *heavily* customizing my device, but the setup I have now works great and I really haven't lost nething from my old WM world. In fact, prolly gained a few CPU cycles and memory to boot.
I don't miss the Today Screen at all!!! Now that I think about it, I never really looked at it.

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.

well depending on the build of your rom, the long press end key will end data connection if yoyu so wish, you just have to select the item in the settings as decribed above. I dont see the need for script or code to do this if your rom supports the function anyway?
That's great advice - thanks but my rom is obviously different.
ie. In the pulldown menu for button functions - there is no end option. The nearest thing is OK/Close but long holding that changes the speaker/vibrate - it doesn't effect the data connection..
Sorry I was assuming we needed to add a different function to one of the hardware keys. In which case an `end' was not in the pulldown options for button assigning. I finally realized that simply pressing the call end key itself does indeed disconnect the data connection.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,
I have a question about the default WM lock - is it possible to lock the device but keep the application that is running shown on the screen?
I use long press of the End key to lock the TP but it jumps back to Home screen after locking.
I know Gyrator has a feature that doesn't but I'm wondering if there is a simplier way to do this. Any registry tweaks can manage it?
Thanks for the reply.
PS: (this might seem stupid) Which button is the PTT button? I can see it in the Button settings menu but I can't figure out what to push to make the particular appl to run. Thx

So you want to be able to see the program running while your device is locked? I wouldn't know how to this because i just use the power button to put my device on standby.
BONUS!
If you look on the left side of your device, assuming you have an At&t HTC Fuze, the button under the volume up & down buttons and is marked "PTT" is the ptt button

Yep, exactly - I need my device locked but see the app running. But it's not the same as standby, I use my power button for that as well.
Bonus - this was indeed a stupid question I'm too embarassed to say that I own a non-branded TouchPro. That's why I couldn't find the button. Ah well, thanks for the reply.
I use AE Button Plus, and map a quick double press of the "red/hangup" button to lock screen.
I'm using the stock T-Mobile UK version of the Touch Pro (MDA Vario IV), still with TouchFlo3D enabled and this works with almost all applications, leaving the application running and on screen (but dimmed).
Hope that helps!
