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...

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.
I recently upgraded to a Touch Pro 2 from a Mogul, massive improvement (other than the lack of hardware keys). So I was a little worried when first using the camera, but the interface quickly grew on me. After installing everything I had on the Mogul, and a few other things that weren't previously supported, I went to snap a quick picture. But for some reason I now have to press and HOLD the shutter button for about 2 or 3 seconds while it auto-focuses then finally takes the picture. For the last week or two (since I've had the phone) I just tapped the button and it focused and took the picture, and was a lot quicker.
I've gone through all of the new cabs I've installed and looked for changes to the camera's registry settings, but found nothing (other than the enabling of the extra modes).
I've also tried changing the Key Delay settings in Advanced Config. Normally I find solutions to any problems I encounter by searching the xda forums, but this time all I'm coming up with is TP2 camera reviews, and stuff about the TP Shoot Options (which are related to the TP's hw button, I'm guessing?).
It's not a huge problem, I mean everything still works as it should. It's just kind of annoying having to hold the button and wait. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I forgot to add, pressing the Enter key on the hardware keyboard still has the desired effect. It's just something with the on screen shutter button.
I'm sorry I can't provide a reply to solve your problem, but I think you might get more/better feedback if you post here.
Thanks for the suggestion =)
The reason I posted here instead of the TP2 forum is because I assumed this wasn't a specific TP2 related issue, rather a WinMo issue (if it is in fact a registry fix). But I will post there also, and hope for more feed back.
hi
is there any application or configuration to map the volume keys -one of them or both- as the camera shutter key for taking pictures?
as I can see, the AE buttons program does not do that.
thanks
I totally second that.
What a pity that there is no physical button to take picture.
Everybody knows that touching the screen will induce vibrations and blurry pictures.
If anyone could realize this it would be awesome.
I agree,
It would have to only take pictures when the camera is on tho, dont want to use up a button all the time, there just arent enough of them!
+1 also would like to have something like this
goog idea, count me in on this
+1 it was only a matter of time till this thread would appear
Volume keys CAMERA
Hi, with AEBplus you can easy do this.
Go AEBplusSettings=>Volume Down and set: 1: Volume Down 2: "Anything you wish" Long:"Camera"
OK
Now camera will start with the long press of the Volume Down key

you missed the issue.. we would like to take pictures with a button, not start the camera itself..
thanks
it is great that some people here liked my idea I am impressed.
so if anyone here can make a mapping program for the camera application to take a picture when one or one of the volume keys are pressed to take a picture would be GREAT. because it is the most lacking option that HD2 has.
Thanks again everyone.
I guess it will be difficult...
But I'm sure someone can develop it. There are many talented people here at xda .
I think Green button will be better because if you to take a photo he is "friendly finger".

Been using this for ages, works perfectly. Make sure you download the latest version from Scilor's website - it let's you press and hold any key to zoom in, then short press any key to take the picture - pure genius!
i tried this but it doesnt work at all for me i am using Energy rom with 2.07.50 radio help please?
AE Button Plus for some reason wont make any of the keys that i have tried to change to take a picture, i bought it in hopes that it would work but i have had no luck, so i just wanted to tell ppl so they dont waste there money, its a nice program and im sure it works just fine but just not for what i need it to do. it could also be that i am on NRG rom and that may be the problem because a while back i was able to use the KB config app to change the vol up key to take a picture and it used to work just perfect, but i think NRGZ28 changed something a while back and it wont work anymore on any of his roms. unless i am doing something wrong, but the same settings that worked before wont work any more. lol that just my 2 cents!!

Hello all:
I have been experiencing a particularly vexing problem with my captivate. At random intervals, the search interface displays on the screen without any of the buttons on the bottom of the phone being pressed. This seems to be particularly true when holding the phone in landscape (playing Angry Birds). My hand is nowhere near the end of the phone with the buttons, so I don't understand how this can be happening.
Any advice/help that can be offered will be appreciated.
T
Happens on mine every now and then too, usually when I'm driving and the officer is mounted on the windshield, so my hands are no where near it.
I've seen other posts about it. I don't think there's any fix except a replacement.

capacitive button problem. I have it too but on the menu key. Rare but very annoying. Perhaps its dust?
There are quite a few people complaining about it.
even my search key gives this issue.....isnt there a way to disable that key..??i rarely use it....
btw, wouldnt it be cool if the search key was changed to a camera key for takin pictures.....its way lot easier than focusing and clicking by tapping on the screen...

Hmm, if yours has the problem, it would be rather detrimental to performance if you were to map it to camera shutter, wouldnt it?
Thanks to all. I had searched but hadn't seen anyone that had the same problem (time to brush up on my search skills?). I will consider a replacement, because it really sucks when I have a perfect shot in Angry Birds and the search interface comes up.

My original Captivate had a problem where the Home button would get "stuck".
The phone would start buzzing and going to the Home screen violently and over and over again.
I got it exchanged.
Probably a similar issue.
Yep, same problem here. Although I haven't seen it happen since I went back to stock and did the OTA update through Kies.
Not sure if that actually is why it's not happening though.
you can edit the Melfas-touchkey.kl file and disable the search key
system/usr/keylayout/Melfas-touchkey.kl

You can do better than that; you can assign it to the CAMERA, just replace the text SEARCH with CAMERA in that file and reboot. I tried it, it works, and pressing the key while in camera mode takes the picture! It's quite nice actually. Long press for voice search no longer works, however.
I was wondering if this is already out there or maybe somebody can come up with a way o do this.
a lot of people complain about cameras not opening up fast enough and some phones not having a dedicated camera button.
what about having you camera turn on whenever you put your phone into landscape mode??
is it possible or already done?
I have not seen it but it sounds as a good idea until you want to use your phone in landscape mode for something else like viewing a photo from the gallery or watching a movie. What we need is to have someone come up with a way to use one of the buttons as a shutter button like the Blackberry Storm had and this way you take a photo as if you had a camera.
Using a hardware button is a relatively simple piece of coding - just trigger a specific run sequence when the button is pressed.
To trigger it based on the orientation of the phone would not only be much more difficult, but it would swallow the battery like Devine Brown swallows English actors just to keep monitoring the gyroscopic sensors on a constant basis.
Closest thing to this I have seen is nova action to long press menu key and bind it to camera and it opens or aokp/cm9 and lock screen shortcut it

I think that sounds like a cool feature, but I see a problem with it because I know a lot of people who always turn their phone sideways(even when not in a browser or anything), and that would pose a problem for them.
what about a widget to turn on off the feature, so that when u know ur going to be in a situation to take pictures and when not u can turn it off,
idk there has to be away i mean our freaking phones talk back now but we cant find a way to start up our cameras quicker???
probably only possible with a rooted phone and a button press + landscape mode
Cm10.1 has option for using power button as shutter action
