Im a recent Blackberry convert and one thing I loved about it was the mute button (in the middle of the volume up and down on the bold 9900). Now that was great when Im always on conference calls for work and very easy to just hit that button to go on mute and hit it again to un-mute even with the screen locked.
Now I know the Skyrocket doesnt have one, and it sort of sucks to keep having to wake the phone to hit the mute softbutton, when you driving or doing other things you cant do it blindly.
So I was wondering since Im rooted, is there say any way to map out say the volume button that say if we hit both up and down at the same time it would initiate a mute for in call use and same again to un-mute it. That be nice to use without looking at the screen. I havent been able to find anyone who has done this or mapped out these buttons for other use.

Hi All,
Is there a way to edit Smartskey to allow using one of the hardware buttons to trigger the Speaker On/Off option?
Thanks!
Speakerphone?
It's already hardware button binded to press and hold green call button, during a call. Handy in the car when your bluetooth headset needs a charge, quick press the green button to answer, then immediately press and hold to switch to speaker.
Or do you mean use the speaker for other purposes?

Tried it on my ETEN X500 and it places the call on hold instead.
In addition I'd like to be able to switch to speakerphone whenever, meaning
When I receive a call or place a call myself.
Not sure about Eten phone, but HTC's phone (most if not all), you will have to press and *keep holding* the green button long enough (while on call). Pressing it will give you 'Call on Hold'. Alt, you try PhoneAlarm .. or PocketPhone Zen (something like that) that gives you profiles (like Nokia phone) that enables you to have the option of getting speaker phone automatically upon receiving.
during calls...the right soft key shows Menu where you can only activate the speaker phone on Selection 3. On the left soft key it shows "Mute"..anyway to change the "Mute" to speaker phone??
sounds like it will be very complicated to do. Pretty much everything to do with custimisation of soft keys has been discussed already.
Best bet is to search all of the smartphones forums and the development forum.
It's very pointless. Speakerphone can be activated by holding green button during the call ;-)

Hi all,
Is there a tweak or something that allows for other ways to wake the phone from standby?
At the moment i have found that removing the stylus or opening the keyboard is the only way to wake the phone, to me this is kind of a odd behavior.
What if i want to make a one handed phone call, the above methods for bringing the device back to life is uncomfortable at best.
The mode i describe as standby is keys locked and screen powered down, in a perfect world i would like to press home and have the screen power up "dimmed" so that i can see where the unlock buttons are and go from there.
Is there a solution to this?
Im new to phones of this sort so if there is a generic solution i am not aware of it
Since nothing of relevance came up during my search im guessing that i am the only one who sees this as a problem?
Press the power button
ohh
Thank you
that was really funny but it's okay..
I press my bluetooth hands-free button for that.
OK with bluetooth hands-free button but starts voice dialer too.

Could you please be more specific for the newbies here; i.e. from what height should you drop it, what surface is more effective (concrete, damp grass, wood chips?), should you let it just drop from your hand or actually throw it, etc
Thanks.
to be certain of dropping it properly you should do it from at least a 5th floor window, tho 8th is reccomended.
i believe the best place to try to wake the phone from standby would be the empire state building. always works like a charm when i throw my phones, laptops and tv`s to wake up (others)
I dropped my phone from the 8th floor, but now it "crashed"
Interesting to see that you found a thread that has been dead for 6 weeks just to make fun of the issue i had.
My bet is that you searched yourself to this thread since you had the same "problem" as i did
all joking aside he actually had a good question. we all know the power button wakes up the phone, however i would like to know if there is a way to have the center d-pad button wake the phone up instead of or in addition to the power button.

I would like this or just a simple tap on the screen should wake it. I think there should also be a "screen lock" when it sleeps like the Iphone
i found then when your on a call and the screen turns off, you can wake it back up by press down on the scroll wheel.

I was thinking of mapping it to PTT, but center d-pad button would be even better and intuitive. Is there a way to do this mapping?
not sure, im sure anything is possible here at XDA. if it is possible im sure someone here can figure out how to do it.
Mapping PTT to "wake up" Fuze
Does any one know whether it is possible to map PTT (short press) to wake up fuze from standby. It's not all that convenient to reach the power button with one-hand operation.
Is it possible to disable the "hold" feature on the call status screen? I'm left handed and every time I pick up a call my face touches the screen and puts the call on hold.
Or can i change the HOLD button's position on the keypad?
Call Status Features (When i make a call):
Speaker On Mute Hold
Note Contatcs End
Thanks!
Haha, funny, but I want to find the answer to this too. I sometimes End the call or press Speaker On when it touches my face.
try to find caller from forum Development and Hacking with somethig like a slide locking features off caller... i think it's from opal but i dont relly sure
Easiest, since it's a built-in feature, is to press the power button before raising the phone to (and touching) your face. This will turn off the screen, making it impossible to touch any of the on-screen buttons AND will NOT disconnect your phone call. Using the red end-call button to hang up will cause the screen to automatically come back on so you can continue using your device. If you need to use something on the device (contacts, calendar, etc) while still on the call, press the power button again and the screen will light back up - all without messing up your call.

Hi all
I've had my Omnia for a few weeks now and love just about everything about it now that I've tweaked it to suit me. I've set up the M2D system and think it handles great.
There's just one thing that I'd like to change and I wondered if anyone may have found a solution for me. When you lock the keys/screen by pressing and holding the 'end' button, the volume buttons can still be used - I thought I'd switched my phone to vibrate mode and gone into a meeting but must have caught the volume button a few times because halfway through the meeting my phone started screaming out Paradise City by Guns N Roses at almost full volume when a call came in, which was very embarrasing!
Anyhow - if anyone knows of a way to also lock the volume buttons along with the rest of the hardware buttons and the screen upon pressing and holding the 'end' button, I'd really appreciate the details.
Thanks in advance.
just hold the NO button to lock all the buttons instead of using power button to lock the phone.
i found the way to stop that i had the same problem and all you need to do is go to "settings" then "buttons" then scroll right until you see "wake up" then check the last box!!!!!!
