Does anyone know if its possible to map the volume slider on the xda2 to another function, e.g. page scroll up/down? l haven't come across any utility that allows this. If not, is it possible for me to hack it myself :?:
I know it must be possible as when the reminders pop up for meeting you can use the slider to alter the snooze time. Unfortunately it will take someone with more brains than I to figure out how (I consider Pooh Bear to be superior to myself :wink
i dont know if this is where to post this but, i was wondering if any one has seen the black berry storm was wndering if you could come up or have already made something like when your using the touchscreen key boad theat it makes a click sound and pulsates when you touch a key? just wanted to throw that out there.
you can have it make a sound when you touch the screen go into settings and personal and sounds notifications it will click but the vibration maybe someone can make that
alpine radios use this thing called PulseTouch™ technology, the screen gives off pulses, vibrations, and sounds when touched. The system emits vibrations and pressures that simulate what it feels like when you push a real button. You get a different feel when tapping a button, holding down a button, or moving a slider. This smart menu layout, together with its tactile response, ensures that you can navigate quickly and easily through music lists and menus.
A few Verizon phones have this feature where they pulse just slightly when you touch the screen. I really like it and seem to recall it being available for the Tilt although I never had it. I would love to add this little bell to my Fuze!
Greetings all.
Does anyone know of a good way of locking the screen while making a phone call? I've tried proximity sensor, which does not work on my phone. I currently have my time out setting at 15 seconds, but that does not work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm sick of face dialing/hanging up.
Proximity sensor does not work at all for me, either. I have been begging and begging people on the forum to help come up with a way to remove or disable the huge "End call" button, as I am constantly hanging up on people with my face.
It is the number one suckiest thing about my Hero right now.
oh, i am looking for this kind of software but found nothing
Probably one of the best "answer/hang up" functions I saw was with SIPdroid. Slide up to answer, slide down to hang up. Of course, the data service is not good enough to always use that though.....
I put the notification bar down down, but it seems almost buggy, sometimes the notification bar stays down and sometimes it just moves up by itself again.
Hit the home button to get out of the dialer window...

And, then, enjoy the vibrations as you move your homescreen icons around with your face.
Why is there so much resistance to figuring out how to either lock the screen during a call or just disable or remove the stupid soft "End call" button?
Is it significantly more difficult than changing the button color or creating a ROM?

Home button is cool if you happen to only touch the end call button and never anything else. I personally called a friend and sent 4 blank texts to someone, don't ask me how....
Home button will cause as many problems. Notification bar coming down is the best way I've found....
an even better way. hold the menu button down.
the keyboard is a great shield.

I will try that one. Seems like it could work, thanks.
Well, google is my friend, i don't know why I doubted ye...
Screen Suite does it for me. The app is $1.99, but it has a setting where it automatically locks the screen on calls.
A bluetooth headset negates that problem completely......

How do you like it? I found it and it seemed kind of bloated with a lot of features I don't need. Does it eat up memory/power?
I am interested....
I don't get why you guys are having so many issues with this, my phone screen locks at the default of 30s when in calls, it has done this as long as I have had the phone.

Mine usually does. Unless it thinks I'm pressing things with my face, which keeps it awake.
That is... if my face doesn't end the call by the time the 30 seconds is up. My guess? It's probably the shape of our faces?
I just try to hold the bottom part of the screen away from my face. Once the screen turns off I've never hung up on someone.

I do this too. It's very annoying.

Hmm another good one! Any keyboard presses do anything nasty? I'm on swype but I wonder if hitting the mic button on the hacked keyboard would do anything annoying.
Thanks for the tip!
My main problem is when my wife calls, and wants to talk to my son. His face is a lot smaller, and well, everything get screwed up when he uses the phone. As for the program, it does have a lot of features, but all I did was have it set to auto-lock on phone calls. I still have my default vanilla lock screen.
Lack of a both a proximity sensor and dedicated screen-off button is this phone's single unforgivable flaw.
I will never again buy a touchscreen device without at least one of these.
There has been lots of interest over at Android Forums for an app that adds increased functionality to the optical button on the bottom of the Incredible.
App Fuctions:
While sleeping/locked
-Use button to wake the phone when sleeping (mimic power button)
While Awake (choose your setting)
-Button jumps to home screen
-Button brings up programs
-Button opens notifications drop-down
-Any other ideas?
Possibly could add additional function with a double press of the button as well.
I'm not a developer, so I really don't know how difficult something like this is. I just spent the last several hours creating sample apps and reading through the android developers website, but I'm not seeing anything on hardware button mapping.
Is anyone else interested in something like this? Or can anybody more familiar with the code chime in to what steps to take. I don't mind doing the leg work.
Thanks.
bump, would love to see something like this as well!
+1 on waking up the phone...something like this would probably require root though.

That's what I was kind of afraid of. Hopefully somebody will know more.
would love to see the trackpad run a virtual mouse (arrow cursor)
"myLock" already wakes up the phone. I know the dev uses a dInc... so if you email him ideas and he can do it, he probably will.
I'll tell you what would be most useful.
Instead of holding down the power button for 5 seconds to bring up the power/sound settings menu, make the optical button do that instantly.
That would be very useful. It seems like there is a laundry list of things that the button could be used for and it's extremely under utilized.
I pretty much gave up on developing the app myself because I couldn't figure out how to wake the phone with only the power and optical button.
Looks like we have to wait and hope a developer sees the interest and can help out.
I'd hate to bother them with such a small request when they are working hard on rooting our incredibles.
Increase Sensitivity?
I haven't seen anyone ask, but the one thing I really want from the Trackpad, is to turn up the sensitivity level, like one can do on a BB, (They have 10 dif levels for vertical and horizontal)
Why HTC didn't make this an option is beyond me, my trackpad is not nearly fast enough for me to utilize right now.
I have used it only 3 times to choose page numbers on forums/tightly spaced links so far.
That's really what the trackball is for... slow scrolling, with high precision. Personally, I hated how the End button on my Hero was also my Screen Toggle, but then again I came from WinMo where all HTC phones I owned had a dedicated power button. Call me weird, I just prefer it that way. And I don't really want the sensor-button to wake up the device; its not an iPhone. I think it distinguishes the devices, and besides, Apple is already suing HTC for a buncha crap (HTC is suing back, hurray!) and the last thing we need is for them to pull a bogus patent about the "Center analog input button waking up device."
Buuuut I do agree with maybe adding some sensitivity settings, as some games would be impossible to play with this optical sensor at its current sensitivity. Also, maybe a long press to open a custom menu, but not the sound/power menu as that would be redundant.
+1 for a app.
+1 on the app as well. A lot I'd these features would be very useful.
+1 on any app that gives us control over all of our buttons ala AEButton for WinMo... That's really the only thing I miss from my Omnia. Short, Long, Double, Triple presses, all for different functions.
I know you need Root, but that's inevitable. Hopefully someone with the skill is motivated to create an app like this.
+1 from me, would love to switch programs using the trackpad button
all great ideas OP
would love to see this implemented.
I'd love to have this app as well!

The only app i found that does anything with the trackpad is Widget Locker.
You can wake the screen with the trackpad and unlock it like you normally would.
And you get a nice new Android 2.2 lockscreen!
it's been a while I really wanted a special app, but now it's time, two days ago i bought a new BT headset a Samsung bhs3000, the problem lies in the answer button press (read by mistake) redials the latest dialed number. with a call confirm app like Call Confirm so it stops the redialing, BUT I want it either just started when bt hedsetet is connected or/and between certain hours. Is anyone having any suggestions?
only thing I've found is just the reverse of what i want, it turns the call confirm off on bluetooth connect.
I would like to see in the app:
dialog box with something like "would you call?" buddy picture, Number , buttons: call and cancel.
maybe 2-3 simple themes say dark, light, and anything else? (not necessary)
opportunity to have it running regular, on/off at BT connect, between certain hours and on/off bt connect AND times.
do not know right away if I got everything so input is warmly welcomed.
I've been looking for something like this for a while as well. The best advice I can find is, buy a Bluetooth earpiece (headset in your case) where you don't accidentally press the button. I was directed to one with a slider that keeps the button inaccessible. But I don't want to buy a whole new earpiece, and I suspect you don't, either.
Now there is an app in the market, for free, and I forget the name (sorry) that changes what happens when you tap the Bluetooth device's main button. Default is voice command. You can set it to anything you like (or nothing). But I emailed the dev, and they have no control over the long-press of the Bluetooth's main button (seems to be universally redial).
Call confirmation would be a good feature overall. When you call (with Contapps, for example, it's easy to accidentally call if you forget long-pressing a contact calls them, you might think it would bring up a menu) you should be presented with the contact's picture, name, phone number, and maybe other details, with a "swipe to call" and a cancel button.
If something like that were especially elegant, it would even be worth laying down some coin for.

I think we are on the same track here, as for buying a new headset it's not a big deal but the thing is that the Samsung one supports apt-x for better sound quality as do my upcoming sgs3 and changeable ear prices. Long press is fine for voice dial well for me it is. But the single press redial is not
Was searching for that app you mentioned but came up with nothing im afraid :-(
I don't need call confirm all the time only when i have the bt hs connected which I have from 08:00 to 17:00 but to appeal to a broader audience the app could work with that too.

one way to handle this on a rooted system would be to remap the key in /usr/keylayout/avrcp.kl, you could even comment the line out so it doesn't respond to it at all.
Yeah been talking to a guy on a big swedish android forum, he told me the same thing as you but not much more like how and what I should edit.
So any ideas? Is it the same on all phones? Got a xperia play Samsung has F ed up the shipment of pebble blue sgs3 to Sweden.
My file well on the play anyway looks like this :
key 200 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE WAKE
key 201 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE WAKE
key 166 MEDIA_STOP WAKE
key 163 MEDIA_NEXT WAKE
key 165 MEDIA_PREVIOUS WAKE
key 168 MEDIA_REWIND WAKE
key 208 MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD WAKE
