Hi There.
I've googled myself blue... But I can't find a solution to this issue I'm having so I might be the ONLY one.
But I'm sure you guys know of this little button at the bottom that says "Send Text" when you have an incoming call. Do you guys have any idea how mad it's driving me. I'll get a call and pull the phone out of my pocket and I seem to always place it in such a way that when I grab it I press this button, ending the call, and starting up the messaging app.
Is there a way to disable this button? I'm sure I remember something about it in the manual or something, but I just can't find it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Hi there,
Installed the Crossbow version of WM6. It's really good apart from a few annoying probs.
- My backlight button doesn't work! So I can only turn on the phone using the 'POWER' button. VERY annoying!! Anyone know how this can be reprogrammed?
- When sending a SMS Text, the 'NEW' button has gone and now is replaced by the 'DELETE' short cut. This means that it more clicks to send a SMS. Again a bit annoying.
Any ideas how I can get passed these problems??

Not sure on your backlight issue as have not used that particualr rom.
Is there not an option to remap the buttons in settings?
As far as SMS issue, if you go to contacts, you can simply right click on a contact to send a new SMS, or if you are in messaging it's just one extra click, menu, new.
You can always install the "New Menu for WM5" applet which will replace your
calendar and give you the functionality you had in WM5, new note sms etc.
A simple search on the forums should bring up the cab for you.
Hope this helps

Beast
Thanks for that. I will have a look.
The 'NEW' button just meant I could create a text really quickly without tapping too many buttons. I know its only one extra click but its annoying
Also it means I might delete texts by mistake!

I use this app and think it really transforms WM6. Very useful, takes up no system resources significantly and is customisable (I have it as the left option button in the today screen, with new SMS, new Word doc, new contact, and a couple others).
Recommended.
OK will search for it
Anyone know how to fix the LIGHT button issue????

Hi,
Can you explain in more detail what your Backlight button issue is?
Are you syaing the backlight doesnt turn on/stay on I'm a little confused as to what you require. (maybe I need more sleep)
Cheers ,
Beast
could be a nice replacement for the now defunct videocall button..
but i think this is a really annoying problem, which by the way is not affecting everyone as far as I can see..it must be solved since these solutions are a good replacemente, but that's it, a replacement...are there any ideas about the origin of this issue?

yes i has the same problem not just with wm6 but also after i had downgraded my jasjar to wm5.0 latest rom so what i did was i searched and downloaded a program called button mapper or map or somthing like that or better yet if youve got the SPB pocket program it will allow you to reconfigure your hardware button for Backlight to switch to " Screen toggle" otherwise this function is not usually available to reconfigure.

Fair play.
I did try and search but found F-All. I'd like to see your search string that brings up this finding. I am not going to spend my whole day searching
Anyway the other problem still exists re: New Button
But thanks for helping regarding the backlight button, I can confirm it NOW WORKS!

I do not have any problems since i don't even have wm6, I was just wondering about the origin (not solution) of this problem another user had and begging for the expert to solve those annoying bugs; moreover I suggested a small and personal solution for his problem, so it's not my task to search for something I don't even need. please next time read carefully before reproaching who is not involved in the fact!
Moreover, I think I'll have a prize for having used since the first time the function "search", one of the few, and having always begged for pardon when many pointless researches obliged me to post about a topic already discussed

Have a look HERE
A lil work around to allow the video call button to be used to create a new SMS message.
I was going to tell you to use the search function too, and show you how my search for "new sms" or "sms" brings up that result...but when I tried using those terms it brought up nothing?!? Searching for "softkey" does bring up my post. Maybe you have to enter words with more than 3 characters for the search to work, which is a bit annoying!
Either way, hopefully the link provided will be of use...

my appoligies to you, i did not intend to qoute you, but once i did i was too lazy to change it..
however if you look at the second link...you will find the origin of the problem.
hello at all,
my the voice mail reminder makes me crazy too after i played a little bit with hushsms.. i sent me a message with that tool and now i see always the voice mail reminder in the task bar and every time i start the phone it rings for that...
trying to make a call to my voice mail and delete it makes no change... damn it really sucks - will never touch any software i dont know what it is
i now have a new rom on my device... and the message appears again AHHHHHH
what's wrong? I have really no idea...
thanks for any tips and helps...!!!
Is it the only notification, or are others grouped under it?
Also, look in the registry to see if gives a voicemail count.
Hello TheChampJT,
thanks furst for your answer...
It should be the only one. I can push "dismiss" (the message and the icon still are there) or "call" (then i will be redirected to my mailbox... but there are no messages saved).
Could yoou please write down where to look in the registry?
Thanks a lot!
hmmmm... someone else has an idea?!
Does anyone know of an application that will put incoming calls directly to the notification bar instead of popping up in the middle of whatever activity is taking place... web browsing or smsing for instance.
Sorry if this has been asked before but i have been searching for a few days and havent been able to find anything.
Thank you,
This would be awesome!. Say it can show on the notification bar Incoming Call From John Doe and also ring as well if you like. This way it doesn't interrupt us at all!
I would pay $$ for this
Yep id be willing to pay also lol
I third that!
Forth-ed!
And coming from me, that's really saying something!
I'm pretty cheap
fifth-ed
I'd love for this to happen too!
6? lol
i guess you would press clear to ignore the call?
I would totally buy this as well.

well, selecting the notification could open up a screen with accept/reject buttons?
...and other times I just get a "beep" where I can say Call John. I'd prefer one or the other - more specifically the latter. Can anyone shine a light on this? I am thinking that it has something to do with Swype/Dragon vs. Google's version, but how can I disable one and still keep the other features?
If anyone knows, thanks in advance!! Been bugging me for a long time....
Sorry to ask again, but can anyone confirm this issue or even better, make a suggestion on how to fix it? The only thing I didn't mention in the original post was that I'm using a wired headset where I push and hold the button on it.

I can confirm that something has been recently "pushed" down to our phones. I used to get "Say Call, followed by name or number" when using a long-press on a BT headset(plantronics). I now simply get the beep.
Also, it now seems to be a *requirement* for google to have your contacts, as it now tells me "Sure, but when its safe, please unlock your phone and enable device information" when I try to make a call. Bummer. I liked the local "lookup" mode and really don't want all my phone numbers linked to my google account. I tried downgrading "google play services", but it goes to the factory version which is way too old... it seems more difficult if you just want to go back a few months, not to the original version installed on your phone.
When I receive an incoming call I would like only a simple swipe to answer. Currently I get an option if I swipe up to send a quick reply. Sometimes when driving etc I accidentally swipe up instead of right and drop the call. Very annoying. I've searched everywhere and cannot find an app or a setting to get rid of quick reply's.

Is it in your country allowed to use phone when driving. If it is, report to Google.

Not exactly a solution to my problem, but yes we can still use phones while driving in Florida. I usually use Bluetooth, Just using driving as one of many examples.

Doesn't your bluetooth device has an answer button?
OK lets forget about Bluetooth and pretend I'm not in a car. No Bluetooth just don't want to have instant reply when I accidentally swipe up. Do you have a way to address my problem or not. If not no more reply's please.

If you are not in the car then clear your mind, think three times "right, not up" and answer your call. With time you will get your own mantra.
Also you can try to find working button remaping app.
Stop txting and driving, you might injure/kill someone
There's handicap/disability options somewhere in settings
