i dont know what i did, but my green call button isnt bring up the dialer any more.
im on the froyo vanilla rom, the bf stable kernel. if its either of those, then its something new.. i noticed it today or maybe last night, not really sure.
anyone got a suggestion for what to look for to undo or redo?
the button its self still works, i can manually launch the phone and use the green button to initiate the call, so i know its not just flat broken.
Yes..post in the Q&A section.

Hello community, I will admit that I am a Mesmerize n00b but I've been using a N1 for a long time. One feature that I liked (maybe it's just an HTC thing) is that I could long press menu to show/hide the softkeyboard, and more importantly, I could long press the search button to get Google Voice Search.
I have searched around the forums for the last few hours for the keywords "Mesmerize" and "Long Press". I can't figure out any way to launch google voice command from a hardware key.
I don't particularly care if it is the SAME way, I'd just prefer not to have to go back to the home screen and THEN click on an app-- it's harder to do while driving.
I'm wondering if the device does not physically recognize long presses of that button.
I've got SU, EB16, , if any of that helps.
My brother, who works at USCC, says that he got one out of the box and that Long-press search works by default. Mine never did though, even before modding. Perhaps mine has a slight defect?
Ive noticed this, however it's a non issue for me. When you bring up quick search, I just press the mic if I want to voice command. Anyone know of an app that allows you to assign commands to the soft keys? I want to say the dev for 'clear default home' might have a solution. I could be wrong.

I know that you could do it on stock mez, but the modified roms or 2.2 don't seem to support it. Also I can't mute my ringer by using the volume keys, I have to press the power button. Which doesn't matter cause if I'm silencing the ringer I'm most likely not going to answer. All pros easily out weigh all the(like 2) insignificant cons I have experienced.....

There is a market app called Button Shortcut that has been suggested to me but it does not work. It's a non-root app. I tried a similar search and found a root app for hard buttons but it didn't support long presses.
The search continues, thanks for your input.
I thought I would conclude this thread with the following information:
I went all the way back to 2.1, Stock, and the long press indeed DOES work. It is only in the leaked EA11 and EB16 that it does not work for me. I thought I would mention this just in case somebody else notices the same problem and searches for this thread.
Thanks to those who contributed.
Hate to pull this out of the grave, but I've got the latest EC10 PnP installed now and long pressing the search button still doesn't work for me. Also voice commands don't work, but that's probably a topic for another thread.
I don't know, it's maddening that I can't voice command this thing and it makes me want to return the phone.
Any suggestions? I can't seem to find anybody here complaining of the same thing... Thanks in advance.
Have you tried downloading Froyo from uscc to see if it works on their release?
If that doesnt work, there is a thread about "suggestions for roms". You could post your request on there.

Good afternoon XDA.
I'm wondering if anyone has any guidance on how I can change the lockscreen on the G2x?
I am rooted with clockwork installed. I know if I install cm7 I'll have more options but currently that rom doesn't allow me to have data, calls only.
I have searched high and low for settings for the lockscreen and can't find any.
here's my problem. I was spoiled by cm6 and 7 on mytouch slide. With the G2x the buttons aren't real buttons so they don't actually pull the phone out of sleep. The only button that does that is the power button at the top. And then the only way to get past the lock screen is to gesture from left to right. I absolutely hate that whole gesture to unlock thing. I know it was nifty for nifties sake when it was first done a couple years ago and has become standard since then. But I hate it. it's uncomfortable and annoying. I just want to pull my phone out, push a button and start doing what I need to do. Sometimes it's just check a widget on my desktop. Now I have to fumble around swiping to do that.
On the mytouch with CM i could just double click the trackpad our menu button and it would unsleep then unlock easy as that.
Please if anyone knows a way to get past the lock screen with a button press or get rid of the lockscreen entirely so it unlocks as soon as it unsleeps please let me know.
dream scenario: push volume button and phone comes out of sleep, push volume button again to get past lockscreen.
widget locker can disable the lockscreen i believe
other than that i dont know of any apps that would let you hit the volume button to wake up the phone
CM7 would definitely be the easiest way to get it done, but unfortunately it looks like it wouldnt work out for you.
CM7 might get the option to wake with the volume keys...

The code is there, it just hasn't been merged yet...
I found this application and tried it out. It takes a second to unlock, but one press of the power button gets you in.

That is such great news. I'm definitely going to CM7 when data works on it because I can't imagine using my phones for a long time without cyanogen on them.
And thank you to the people who gave app suggestions, i'm going to check those out.
Where is whitehawx when you need him lol!

Okay so im having a little project to get rid of using power button, cuz mine is really "soft" and i believe someday it will stop responding...
Im currently using few apps&tricks:
Turning off screen:
Screen Off & Lock
Turning on the screen:
Volume key wake
or as in most roms now, its enable-able in settings/tweaks
Rebooting, entering recovery or bootloader:
Quick Boot (Reboot)
And recovery:
4EXT Recovery Touch
Im currently running cm7mod rom and i am trying to find a code or good replacement to open "cm7 power button menu or advanced boot menu" if its called that, to open from shortcut or different key then long press power button. And another one for now is taking a screen shot from different combo then "power button+home" I know there is some apps to take screenshots but i would prefer to edit some files myself to make it happen.
Hope this helps somebody with same issues and maybe someone can give me some pointers!
PEACE
Thanks for the tips.
I'm sure this will come in handy for people who're wearing out their power button (like me!!)

Hey, thanks for that video. Makes for an interesting party trick!!
But the problem with this is phone unlocking inside your pocket, and secondly, continuous polling of the proximity sensor is going to gobble your battery up pretty fast. But i'll have to try it out for atleast a day to support that theory.
Thanks for the info anyway.
Did anyone try to use warranty because of the power button? mine is going softer every week...

Good news coming for your project in the next couple of days. Need some finetuning, but it's looking promising.
You won't be able to simply edit stuff to make it work on other roms, but Reaper will have it.
Cheers

Yummy, more mischief from the chef!!
I've always used Screen off apps on all my devices !
Even since the days of WinMo there was such app
One of the first apps I install on my phone when I load a New ROM is screen off and lock
I don't need the volume wake though - that would just wear out the volume buttons when I already use it for music control
Trying to take lecture pictures in class but the sound is always on eve after closing all sound (system and notification)
Any thoughts?

Like the GS3, I don't believe there is any option built in to disable it. Kind of a dumb thing to leave out... You can though mute the volume (hold the left vol. button till it goes to vibrate), THAT will silence it.

yea i did that. i set vibrate for everything but camera sound still persist.
damn hopefully roms can change this...
huh. I tried it myself before posting and it worked, so I have no idea what to tell ya xD
Did you get the OTA update before it was taken down?
LOL nvm, im retarded...=_____=
nope i didnt get the OTA. i got the update popup but after i click on it, it said there isnt any update lol
Thanks,
Not even sure if that has anything to do with it, but maybe. but yeah, all I did was press the vol button to the left until it was on vibrate, opened up the camera app and it was completely silent taking pictures.
I suppose another alternative would be to use a different camera app if you can't get it to disable via the volume.
i think someone replied about the galaxy phones that they had to keep the camera sound b/c of some laws in asian countries where they have problems of people taking candid shots.
i believe if you're rooted you could find the sound file and remove it, i'm sorry i don't know what it is. you may be able to find more info on the other samsung devices on how to disable it. there are alternate camera apps or you can just wait for a modded apk later.
Just a heads up, if you turn the volume down using the on screen controls, it will NOT mute the camera. If you use the volume button on the top of the tablet, it WILL mute the camera. Tried this last night.

Built in torch doesn't work,is there a fix(Currently on cm-10-20121023-NIGHTLY-d2vzw)
or
Tasker profile to make teslaLED on/off with double press home button.
tl;dr
Alright so, so far so good on cm10 nightlies.
Everything seems to be working so that I can use it as a daily driver.
But the one thing that is killing me(I'm currently on cm-10-20121023-NIGHTLY-d2vzw) is that torch(led flashlight) doesn't work.
TlslaLED does work however.
My question is this: I currently have a tasker profile that when the menu button is long pressed it turns on teslaLED...
Now originally I wanted long menu hold to be google now...
Is there a way to make tasker recognize a double press of the home button for on off of teslaLED?
I didn't see an option for double press home button...
Alternatively, anyone know a fix for the built in torch?
Shameless self-bumb

I dont know how you can get yours to work. Mine works, and most other peoples also work. I've seen at least one other person say it wasnt working so you arent alone, but seeing as how you are the minority it might be tougher to get answers.
Yeah, the torch has worked fine forever on the CM10 nightlies. I would suggest wiping and starting over to eliminate whatever anomaly is preventing yours from working.
