Hi everyone!
I've purchased a second hand i-mate jam (magician) yesterday. There was a problem with it and I've upgraded to big storage 1.13.00 WWE with 1.12.00 radio. However the problem is consistent:
Every button is working besides directional buttons. I guess they are acting like enter button (including the middle selection button). And here's the funny thing: when I click any of the directional buttons, the red/close button stops to work and calender button acts as align screen!
What am I going to do with my schizophrenic buttons? Help me out!
I'm having more experience day by day, if any other semptoms are observed, I will share it with you guys. (and gals, if there is any)
Bye the way, donation is one solution away... (if you dont want to help for free )
Addition: I guess this is related with driver or rom issues, thats why I put this topic here. If anywhere else is the right place, move me there sir (admins)
Ow, ow, I forgot to tell: if I turn it off and back on (standby), the same working buttons back... When I press directionals, here comes the problem...
Problem identified
Middle selection button is kept pressed.
Try on your own: press calender while holding middle selection key: align screen...

hi, i just realized that my green and red answer/hung up buttons don't work,it's a rom bug?(i've the last one in italian installed)
can i map other buttons to make them work as answer/hung up buttons?
You can use VJKeyPress to emulate them. However, this sounds like a bad hardware fault, or a very odd bug. Check it carefully before considering other solutions.

With the new touch scrolling, the cube and hardware buttons i am able to use my wizard with just one hand very quickly! I am very happy about this
The only problem is when i have to press x/ok button
Is there a way to map this to a HW button?
Thanks!
PS: i just flashed back to my original rom (i-mate wm5) boy it`s ugly slow and without a lot of stuff...
So you guys are doing a REALLY GOOD JOB here!!!
Back on WM6 now...
i second that, i assigned my voice dial button to ok/close but it just "minimizes" the program... not actual close... i used the closeall program but sometimes i want to just switch to another program in the background...
maybe what i will do is use closeall in the voice dial hold option.. and ok/close in single press... ...
Guys, this is the main use (for me at least) of Smartskey... The right soft key is mapped so that if you press and hold it it closes the current app. The left soft key is mapped so if you press and hold it, it will open the Start Menu...
sorry for this, i am so stupid... the ok/close button is in the list
ups! i just assume there are only apps in the list.
Sorry again!
PS: Senior Member ?!?!? - i guess i just ask a lot of stupid questions - lol
Hi all.
I'm new in the forum and i dont'n know if other have the same problem:
The button in the left side of the phone ( under volume buttons), can be assigned in the settings -> buttons, Anyone know why?, and How can I fix it?, only the "hold side" can be used.
thanks by you help.
P.D. i have wm6 in the treo ( att official rom )
Wait a minute, I'll upload reg-hack for it...
Use registry editor to import file from archive. You'll be able to assign side button. It works with every rom - from WM5 to WM6.1
thanks
My friend, thanks a lot, , the issue is fixed.
regards.
hi guys...
is there by chance a way to change the behavior of the first two buttons?
it's kinda annoying that tomtom or IExplorer would start anytime i accidently touch or even strike one of the big buttons.
if there was only a way to set a delay into that response bahavior, something like holding that button to trigger the application ...
anybody?!?
thanx , bear
btw: running WM 6.1 by bepe, Build 0.65 - WWE
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Buttons. In there you can map what the hardware buttons do. You can have them start other applications or you can map them to do nothing.
that bit i knew
ok my mistake , did not put enough stress on the part
where i was asking for a kind of delay or something like that.
artemis had something like
push button A short : do X,
push button A long : vibrate and do Y
that i'like to have in my cruise...!
thx
OK, nevermind
ifound something on the net.
Hbutton does all the required things,
just install and go
variable delay times, multiple button assignement possible,
nice tool -
case closed !
I'm using Butler [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464611 ] to use the extra functionality of the hardware keys ... the only thing missing for me now is the possibility to use the 2 top buttons of the touch pro [Home and Back] for the left and right softkey (that's the only thing I miss from the kaiser). Any ideas how to do it without AEB ?
And is there a program you can launch to go to the today screen?
I'd be interested in this also. Thus far Da_G's latest roms have been able to reprogram every button except volume, home, and back keys.
Unfortunately the Volume, Home, and Back keys give me the most trouble. I always keep my phone on vibrate and I never use the Home/Back buttons. Even a good way to simply disable these keys would be a start. I'd much rather be able to use my dpad without ending up at the today screen.
Although someone said they used AEB to remap the Home/Back buttons to ONLY function on a double tap.
i was just thinking about this. i noticed i could change long press for send and end as soft keys. not enough buttons on the device you know.
I also would love to be able to reprogram the home and back keys to be the left and right softkeys. There has to be some way to do it...
I did some more searching on this topic. Try DredSensor. It works for me so far.

If we can get the home, back button, set as left and right softkeys as well as set pressing the center button in as OK button then i would have zero complaints about my att fuze. Sometimes i turn my tilt back on just to use programs such as opera mini, life is so much easier with softkeys!

Yes im sure everyone is aware of dredsensor which is what i have to use when running opera mini on my fuze. What we are talking about is setting the home and back button as softkeys for good for all apps by default and also having the center button as OK as well. Do we really need a home and back button anyways? I mean we have touch screen phones, i can drag my thumb to get to home screen and press the center button to go back if set to OK button.
No we don't need an Home and Back button. The home button works the exact same as the End key. The back button is iffy. While I don't use it much, I'm sure "some" people do. There are the occasional situations when the back button is useful.
If you make the Center button "Close/Ok", then you won't have a select button. What WOULD work is set the center button to default, but do an "Close/Ok" on Center Hold.
I wish we had all the buttons unlocked to do what we wish. Using Home/Back as softkeys aren't a big deal to me, BUT being able to at least disable them or remap them in games would be sweet. (yes I know about DredSensor... I'm talking about permanent).
Another thing I am aiming for is a "virtual D-pad" using the touch pad area around the center button. Allowing us to navigate simply by making contact to the "hotspots". This would at least fix the problem with using the Dpad in games without ending up at the today screen.
If we could offload the navigational functions to the touchpad... then we could remap the buttons up/down to launch programs or whatever (left and right too).
So Pressing the buttons on the touchpad could launch apps or be used as softkeys or whatever but touching the touchpad would navigate.
Here is the thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473023
The last couple of posts have been playing down my earlier suggestion to use dredsensor to remap the home and back buttons to be the left and right softkeys (the topic of this thread). I'm not affiliated with dredsensor in any way, but I wanted to clear up this issue.
Since version 1.1 was posted on 1/17, you can in fact remap the buttons as stated above. In your config.ini file, for the [Default] profile with WindowTitle=* and ClassName=*, you have the entries:
HardKey_Launch1=Key:SoftKey1and
HardKey_Launch3=Key:SoftKey2
I'm not sure what you guys mean by "permanent" or "for good for all apps by default", but with this configuration these rules should apply in any app, which would seem to be what you want. I've been using this for a few days now and it works for me in the applications I've used. Anyway, it's just a suggestion. Maybe give it a try and I hope it helps.
i followed your suggestion..but i find the behavior erratic..sometimes it looks like it just goes to sleep and the keys are back to normal, and then out of nowhere starts to run again :\

From what I've read, there could be problems if you have G-Scroll installed, or maybe on some specific ROMs. Maybe post the issues you are having so that the developer can fix it in the next version.
