ATT Fuze has one extra button

Wow, I guess I did not realize that. When I looked at the dummy version of the ATT Fuze at an ATT store yesterday, I noticed a PTT button below the volume controls on the left side. So ATT had HTC add that to the original TouchPro. Hopefully, we will be able to hack that to use for other applications.

AT&T's Official 6.1 ROM for the Tilt had native support for remapping the PTT button, so it would not surprise me if they allow it on the Fuze also.
I'm hoping to remap it to Voice Command, because you could then say "Start Camera", "Start Opera", etc...

From the day it comes out...

My Fuze did not have integrated remapping for the PTT button, however I did manage to remap it eventually with some registry editing. I posted a "how to" on here, and for some reason I think my post was deleted, ask moderation about that one. I had it set to voice command, as that's where I found it most useful.

great to hear - not having a dedicated camera button sucks but that could suffice nicely!

Nonono, trust me, the touch and press capture on the Fuze works like a dream. The center button is not only a button, it's touch sensitive. When you barely rest your thumb on it, using its touch sensitivity, it auto-focuses... Then you press it in and it captures. One of the most impressive things about the phone IMO, I thought it worked better than any other phone camera trigger I've used.

Really? Even better than the Tilt's? That has a button just like normal digital cameras.
I like having a button I can press whenever to bring up the camera. I am really going to miss all my buttons!
I have internet, messaging, camera, and PTT remapped to be gmail (in java) and if press and hold it opens the comm manager.
From those 4 buttons we now only have 1
Not to mention there no longer is start/OK buttons. No softkey buttons I am fine with as the screen is flush.

good to hear - i meant more towards launching the camera instead of using it as a shutter button btw. The voice command option sounds like a great(the?) way to go though.

i want to use it for taskfacade. pretty much copies the xperia panels and nicely
any new word on wether its re mappable out of the box?

Hi Your the MAN, so happy to here everyone so excited about the Fuze and I do hope and I've been told by my local ATT store that it will be Tuesday. He is going to call me Monday when the shipment comes in to assure me he'll have mine for Tuesday. I'll Post when I hear from him on Monday and verify is it's so.
With excitement and soon to be Fuze Nead/Geek

How sensitive is the auto-focus? I don't want to rest my thumb on the action button to focus and mistakenly take a snapshot. I hope there's a large enough threshold between pressures so that this isn't an issue.

The buttons on the touch pro are capacitive AND have a physical button. When you touch but don't click, it will focus. When you click, it will take the picture.

Remapping PTT button to start menu
I am new here so I would like to say that it is great to see others with the same interest in the Fuze as well. I just came from a Tilt which I was tremendously happy with.
I already edited the registry so the stupid ptt button does not function. However, I am trying to use it to pull down the start menu and no one is interested so I have no idea what file to rename.
By the way I have gotten the internet sharing to work but I had to get my cousin involved b/c the total commander registry editor did not do it. we had to download PHM RegEdit to get the job done. It was quite easy once that was figured out.

Camera Button Anyone?

Hi I was just wondering if there was any way of setting a button eg. the Back or Hangoff button , to work as the photo capturing button only in the camera mode? and be able to work as it normally does whenever im doing something else~ thx

Hi,
this new app will allow you to remap the key you want to use. You will have to remap it to emulate Enter. It allows you to use this mapping for example only when the camera is turned on, it's really cool app

thank you so much^^ time to try it out now =)

sry could u help me with one more thing? i figured out how to remap the "back" key to emulate "enter" but i cant seem to get to to only work during camera? could u plz tell me how i can do that? thx

In the keyboard config app go to Menu > Add key
Press key you want to remap
Near the Rule field there is a plus sign, click it.
Then follow the instructions, capturing via stylus works great, you just have to launch camera and then put stylus back in.
The app will create a new rule and the mapping will work only when camera is opened.

It's not entirely correct what you write. I already had that app to remap keys and it works great, didn't think I could use it to emulate enter and map it to my camera. So I did what you wrote but that didn't work. I've figured it out now and here is how I've done it:
1 - Open the remap application
2 - Press key you want to remap
3 - Near the Rule field there is a plus sign, click it.
4 - Then follow the instructions, capturing via stylus works great, you just have to launch camera and then put stylus back in.
5- Event = Click
6 - Action = Emulate key press
7 - Key = Enter
8 - Click ok
9 - Click update config
Now when I click the "end key" the camera takes a picture. This works way better then having to click on the screen itself because it doesn't matter how soft or careful you click the screen, the picture is always a bit blurry of kinda like out of focus.
Thanks for pointing out this great feature!!
Cheers

thx for the replys
i figured out that i needed to first set the 'back' key to defalut key action this allows it to work as usual whenever im doin something else, then add another funtion to the 'back' key to allow it to emulate enter only during camera ^^ if i didnt do the first step the 'back' key is just nothing when the camera isnt on ~
anywayz thx for all ur replys, now i can take great photos XD

Glad you figured that out. I didn't tell you that because I asumed that you just wanted to use the end key as "enter" for your camera and not as "to close a program".
I've set it to click = enter for the camera and long press give me the options to lock the phone and so on....
Cheers!

Add options to power button menu or double press hardware keys

I don't see a physical camera button on my captivate. i was wondering if i can add the option to the power button menu to open the camera. If not, is there an app or way to hold down a volume button or click a certain amount of times to get it to open the camera?
reason i ask is because I have a 19 month daughter and would need to open camera asap to take pictures as they happen.
if this have been covered sorry... ideally i would love to add the option and few more to that power button menu..
thanks

I'd like to see the capability to program all of them for click, double click, triple click, and long press. There is an app for htat for WinMO.
I have a very nice app that adds a lot of that type of functionality, Tasker, but that is not one of them.
I'm going to suggest it. What we may hear is that Android won't allow it. Seems I have bumped my head into that response two or three times, with comment that Android considers it a security issue.

Yes this is what i am looking for. Such as the search button. Replace that with a short cut button to open camera. I wish devs are seeing this. This will be an awesome mod.

arrrghh...
power strip o power control, takes over the search long hold action to come up with widgets and things... So i think the mapping is there.

Just move the camera icon to one of the bottom 4 location. Since you have to unlock the phone before you can start the camera anyway, using the hardware button or clicking the screen make very little different.

You can try using the Widget Locker app. With it I placed the camera shortcut on my lockscreen. Much faster access but not exactly what you are looking for.

I second widget locker. Use it with pure messenger and pure calendar to make the lock screen useful.

It seems to be a feature with the newer Camera App. Im using version 2012.3628 and I can touch anywhere on the display and whild holding it takes a picture

OK, you're right.
It works with the one included in Energy ROMs.
Not bad... Finally more useful like that : you just have to keep your finger pressed where you initially pressed to focus.

[Q] 3D Button expanded functionality mod request

Not allowed to post in the developer section yet or I would've requested it to be added to the CameraMOD 3D posted by ErosizeD.
My biggest problem with the O3D is that the screen constantly switches off, your in the middle of doing something, or even just answer a call and instead of the in-call screen it will just swich off disabling the capacitive buttons. The only way to get it to come back on is to fiddle around trying to find the lock/on/off key....
I've requested this in the LG forum but doubt they listen to their customers. Hence, it would be great if one of the developers on xda could do a mod for the 3D button, making it smarter by incorporating the following functionality:
1. With the screen off, a single press of the button switches the screen on.
2. With the screen locked and on or off, keeping the button depressed for 3 to 4 seconds unlocks the screen and also switches it on if it was already off.
3. With the screen on and unlocked, it functions as it does now, as in launching the ‘3D Space’ app and if pressed whilst viewing 3D pictures, it switches between 2D and 3D view.
4. If the button is pressed whilst watching a video it works the same way as the Samsung i8910 whereby keeping the video playing with the screen ON but disabling the capacitive icons and the touch screen sensors/input (very useful for children). Holding the button down again would re-enable the touch screen.
5. If the button is pressed whilst the camera is on, it acts as the capture button to take pictures or start/stop video recording.
It does not need it to lock and switch off the screen as the current on/off button is fine for that purpose. It would also be very useful if pressing either of the volume buttons when the screen is OFF, simply switches the screen on!
Hope this is possible and thanks for reading this request.

If anyone else would like to have similar functionality added to the 3D button please feel free to add any suggestions/changes.
Thanks.

Just wanted to say...
I only agree about #5 on your list. The 3D key is indeed in the perfect position for taking pictures.
However, I don't agree with the other 4 points on your list.
#1, pressing the 3D button to unlock the phone is actually a much worse idea than the lock/unlock button. I don't know how you hold your phone, but I've just tried it out. With the way you normally hold your phone, the lock/unlock button is in a very nice place to lock the phone. A better place would be the volume up button. The 3D button... well unless you use phone on left hand a lot and press with pinky or you press with your palm on right hand, its a very bad place to put an unlock button.
#2 I have no idea what you are talking about. What do you mean holding it for 3 or 4 seconds and then it'll unlock screen and turn it on? If you unlock the screen the phone is already on. If your phone is off, then the screen can't unlock.
#3 I don't have anything to say about this becuase this is exactly how the 3D button works right now.
#4 I believe this is a useless attempt to stuff too much into one button. Just know that to make this feature work, you dont' make any changes to the button rather you got to make changes to the video player. And it'll only work for that video player. For example, we mod the stock Video Player, it works perfectly.. the way you suggested. Then you download a flv video and it won't play. You download MoboPlayer and it plays perfectly. You hold down the 3D button and it launches 3D space. Personally, I would suggest just downloading MoboPlayer because if you're watching something, you can press Settings button to disable all inputs.
5. Like I said, I would appreciate if the 3D button became a Camera button during camera apps. But this would only be for the stock camera app, which would mean modding the camera app to make this work. Personally, I would prefer pressing anywhere on the screen to take a picture as opposed to using the 3D button as a shutter button, but then...that's just my preference.

I don't know, but I want to wake up my screen with any of buttons like MENU/HOME/BACK/SEARCH

i would LOVE the 3d button to also be the shutter button.
the fact that it's not by default is pretty idiotic if you ask me.

so there is a way to make photo with the 3d button on Optimus 3d?!?!?
Plssss is so important for me....

if those mod can be applied (pls for someone here to make it real...), just gonna make this HH way much better....

I could think of creating something that does those features. But like other ppl said, everyone doesn't want all of those features, that's why we'll need an app that could let ppl choose the exact actions they want for the 3D button because seriously, how unimportant isn't the button really? A button that says "3D" is completely wasted and that's why something should be done, letting ppl choose the actions for their buttons, lol.
I'm new to LG Development but it's definitely not impossible by just an app, would required root though. I'll look further in too it when I got some spare time.

I for one would definitely love such an app! But the one function I really care about, that's switching the screen on with another button, different from the power key. I would even go for switching the screen on with the volume rocker if that idea isn't too bad! Hope you can really do something about it

1&2 - I don't really see the point in 3d camera screen on. Its not as if the power button is hard to press (Compared to other smart phones at least)
3 - I would prefer if the 3d button launched the Camera. There's pretty much no point in opening 3d space, besides showing off. Editing the \system\usr\keylayout\omap-keypad.kl from
Code:
key 249 3D_MODE
to
Code:
key 249 CAMERA
disables all other functions of the button, such as taking photos, 3d switching etc.
4 - This would be somewhat useful, but probably difficult as it would have to be coded into the stock video player, which i don't use since it seems to lag while playing some video formats.
5.The 3d button already takes photos with Stock GB ROMs.

what do u want this one button to do everything... Get over it long press = 3d menu and in camera mode on 2.3.3 it takes pics i say that is more then enough... I don't want it to turn my screen on etc.. I have other perfectly working buttons to do that...

I'm using ThiaZO3D on my LG Thrill with v18a baseband and the 3D button is great! pressing it now won't immediately launch the 3D launcher, you must hold it down. While in the camera app, you can press the 3D button to take a picture or start recording a video. You may even press and hold to keep the focus, then let go to take the picture. I've found that if you're in the middle of focusing it and you don't want to take a picture you can tap the screen twice or just hit the back button.
With this rom, it's perfect, no need for it to be anything else. Haven't tested with binding the 3D button as a key in N64oid or any other emulator yet, I assume it works fine as long as you don't hold the button too long.

have you try "No Lock " App? it 's work great if you dont' want the power button to be press while the screen off.
