Good Evening
I downloaded a PTT fix from http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/1054343-1.html & installed the .cab file. It created a button 5 option in my settings/buttons menu. However, when I set that option for camera instead of PTT...it still initializes the PTT vs the camera. I'm going to assume that the PTT is not button 5 on the fuze, hence why it won't work. Does anyone know which button that it might be, and how i could edit that file? or make my own work around?
Thanks
The PTT might be hard wired to the PTT hardware needed for ATT's push to talk, kinda silly really I don't see why they still push this I've yet to meet anyone on ATT who uses this feature, maybe one day ill run into a cunstruction worker who knows.

I'd love to see a solution to this too. I tried the Tilt registry hacks that let you re-map the PTT button but all that did was disable the button completely. (Which is still an improvement because at least now I don't have the PTT message come up every time I accidentally hit that button...)

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)).

I were to remove that string after i install the .cab, would that disable PTT,and the settings menu take over?
I realize I can do a registry hack, but I was looking for something that A) would be easy to install/uninstall B) would add an easily accessible option to the settings on the phone.

Um that is the easiest way right now.
And it does as B). Just change what Button 1 (Hold) to whatever you want and that's what your PTT button will act as.
Alright, its Button 1...awesome. Now lets see if I can find that setting ;-)
In settings/personal/buttons
...there is only an option for button 5, and button 5(hold). 1-4 do not show up there. How would I go about editing button 1's action?
Thanks alot
I found a program called AE BUTTON PLUS, it allows you to map any hardware button on the device. The PTT button is not listed by default so you need to "add button" it will then ask you to press the hardware button you would like to map, after that it shows up on the list and you can map it... I have found that adjusting long press setting causes issues, but tap and double tap work fine. I have tap disabled since I always hit the key by accident, double tap is Torch. Working fine so far. I believe you can even map individual keys on the keyboard in the same way.
I tried to use AE Button Plus(registered it), and had no luck creating an action for the PTT button. So I followed the registry ediit intructions, again..with no avail.
My PTT is disabled, which as previously stated, is better than nothing.
I would like to clarify two things. Does 40C6, and 40C7 relate to PTT on all devices, or is this a phone by phone basis? 40C6 could be PTT on a tilt, but the touch may be 33D4. Noobish question, but I'm not sure how this stuff works.
Also you said its "Button 1". Again, does this refer to hardware button # 1. Or is this just a random name we give it so we know which one to edit in the buttons menu?
So if I use 40c6, and 40c7 for "Button 1", and "Button 1(hold)"...it should work?
...I also used Button 6 & Button 6 hold as in the Tilt instructions. Same function.
I appreciate the assistance gang!
any1 have any luck?

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

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.

That's great! THANKS!!!
Before I start, I apologise if this has already been answered elsewhere, as I've spent about five hours trawling through threads looking, in vain, for a solution.
I have bought a new Fuze but the PTT button causes a problem with the aluminium case I bought for it. The problem is that the case is for a Touch Pro and the latch is right where the PTT button is (meaning the button is permanently depressed when the case is closed). It cannot be remapped in Settings/Buttons.
All I want to do is to be able to disable the button completely, or failing that make it an 'OK/Close' button. I have got rid of the PTT link but would greatly, greatly appreciate if someone could tell me what commands should be written in "short_PTT.lnk" and "long_PTT.lnk" to be able to do this. I've tried just leaving both blank but then the PTT button brings up an error message when pressed about not being able to find the shortcut.
Is there a way to achieve either of these solely using the registry, and without using third-party software?
Thanks for your time.
Here's full instructions on remapping your PTT button: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=598
To just disable it so it does nothing follow the steps at the beginning:
Using a registry editor delete HKLM\Services\PTT.
Next delete HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT.
Navigate back to the Windows directory and rename PTT to PTT2
Now create a new folder called PTT and set the properties as System and Read Only
If you follow all of those instructions and want to map it to close use this app and map it: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1249
Problem fixed
You're a great person, bugsykoosh. I had done the first part you suggested, but the second link - and use of a tiny program called Zap It - fixed it perfectly.
Thank you heaps.
Okay so what is the joke why does this work for EVERYONE, except me. I mean seriously. I followed the steps but nothing. I press the button and I get nothing at all except the noise that indicates the keypress was succesfull WHAT GIVES.

This is overkill. You don't need to mess around with the PTT directory. If you just stop the PTT service from running, nothing will look in the PTT directory and its contents don't matter.
Just change HKLM\Services\PTT\Dll to an empty string and soft reset. The button will be completely inert. You can then remap it using AEBP or the short_PTT/long_PTT shortcuts, if you choose, or just leave it inactive.
Today
WMM,
If you change as you suggested, it looks like the long and short still work. I've remapped and did all the steps, but it looks like yours may be a little easier/cleaner. I'm curious, and I've looked extensively to no answer, but if I want the short press to just send my Fuze back to "Today" (in TF3D), is there a way to do that? If I press Start the first option is Today and this does exactly what I want. There's no shortcut that I can locate anywhere (and I'm sure it's my ignorance/technical inability) and the next step is to make a copy of that shortcut and name it short_PTT which I can handle. Any suggestions?
So, it isn't possible to map the PTT button from the Settings - Buttons screen? Looks like the method linked to above, with the short_PTT and long_PTT shortcuts, won't allow me to map the PTT buttons to work as the left and right softkeys.
As far as I know (which isn't very far, sometimes), the only way to get the PTT button to execute "Home" or the left/right soft keys is to use AE Button Plus. There may be applications that do those things that you can download (I know there are for things like toggling wifi and bluetooth, killing the current application, etc.) -- these are really tiny utility applications that are specifically intended for mapping to a button -- but I don't know of ones that do those particular things. (AEBP is able to do all those things, as well as giving you four mappable events -- single, double, triple, and long press).
okay seriously here do the links need to have special settings or anything. I mean what attributes should they have. Nothing works!
For the life of me, I can't remap my PTT button.
On a short press, it activates the voice command system.
On a long press, it activates the camera.
This seems to be from flashing NATF's ROM.
Following instructions above, I have no HKLM\Services\PTT or HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT in my registry editor.
I did the short and long_PTT/link and PTT folder in Windows. The links work there, but doesn't change what happens when the button is pushed.
I have AEButton Plus, but can't get it to add the PTT as a button.
Any suggestions where I can find in the registry what is making my PTT button act as it is? I'd rather have it do nothing than what it is doing now.
Thanks,
Chris

Yes, I believe NATF did not add the PTT stuff from AT&T into his ROM; the instructions above are for the stock AT&T ROM. You'll have to ask NATF how to remap the PTT button using his ROM.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here. As I mentioned in my last posting just above this one, this probably only works in a ROM that supports PTT, like the stock AT&T ROM; if you're running something that doesn't support PTT, it would be a real surprise if "short_PTT" and "long_PTT" meant anything special, no? Assuming you are running the stock AT&T ROM, here's a step-by-step procedure for creating the short_PTT link to point to the Camera application using the built-in File Explorer.
1) Open File Explorer. If the drop-down box at the upper left says anything other than "My Device," tap the small down-arrow next to the label and then tap on "My Device."
2) Tap on "Windows" and wait a few seconds for the folder contents to appear.
3) Scroll down until you see "Camera" (the one that's 794K). Tap and hold that until the pop-up menu appears and then tap on "Copy".
4) Tap on "Menu" in the lower right, then "Edit", then "Paste Shortcut".
5) Scroll to the very bottom of the folder contents and you'll see "Shortcut to Camera" that was created. (The name may be truncated, depending on the size of the font and the screen orientation. Mine says, "Shortcut to Ca..." in portrait orientation. In any event, it will be the last thing in the folder contents.) Tap and hold on that until the pop-up menu appears and then tap "Rename". Then just type "short_PTT" to overwrite the existing name and hit return.
That's all you need to do. (If the application you want to run with the PTT button is in a different folder from \Windows, navigate there, tap-hold on the application executable, and select "Copy". Then navigate to \Windows and do steps 4 and 5 exactly as above.) This works exactly the same for the "long_PTT" shortcut.
If you do exactly that, does it not work? What happens if you tap the "short_PTT" shortcut in File Explorer? Does it start the camera?
Here is a link to a cab that will allow you to remap the PTT button: http://www.fuzemobility.com/ptt-remapping-revisited-application/

Can you post instructions as to how? I tried it already and the pulldown that shows you the available apps you can pick only shows PTT.
Best regards,

So I followed the registry edit method, and created a file (not a folder) called PTT and things work great .... except ... when its on Airplane mode (Phone, Bluetooth and Data set to off) and I press the button (short or long) the PTT function kick off.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Anyway to change this behaviour?

Something's odd with your phone, then. Mine shows the full list of apps and options. I remapped PTT to VC without an issue.
Is it possible that you've got an application that's taking over the Buttons Control Panel? On mine, I had to remember to shut off SPB Pocket Plus's control over the buttons since it doesn't work with the Touch Pro line. When I first fired up the control panel, it listed no apps until I remembered that I had Pocket Plus running and turned of that feature.
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

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.
