Hello,
My problem with the back button is
I'm browsing through a page (I believe 99% of apps do this) I click on a link and just view it for a while. I press the back button (Happens on the built and in-app buttons) and it goes all the way back to the top. Is this something with my settings?
Thanks

Ofcourse I can lock the screen by pressing the power button (and having de XDA go standby), but I wish to lock the screen while listening to mp3's.... How can I lock the screen ? If I need a separate application, please let me know your suggestions ....

If you meant that you wanted to switch off the screen without putting the XDA on standby, here's how. Just assign one of the buttons to "Screen Toggle" when Windows Media Player is running. On the Windows Media Player menu, select Tools->Settings->Buttons. Then map one of the buttons, such as Button 2 (Contacts), to "Screen Toggle". After that, pressing the mapped button will switch the screen on and off.

I tried this 3 times and each time when I press the button (I assigned button 3- the camera button) I got a strange black and white flashing strobe on the screen which I couldnt get out of without a soft reset. Anyone else had this or knows how to deal with it?

Dunno how to deal with it but I can confirm that I have exactly the same issue. Screen Toggling does not work and ends up in a flash show that doesn't look very healthy for the display.
works fine on xda 1 running ppc2003 :\ any programs to make the screen do this automatically? say if i was to run tomtom gps?

Work's fine with my XDA2, no problems at all, I assigned button 2 to the screen.
no problem doing it for me with xda with 2002 rom 3.1804
Also works fine on my XDA II. have you tried using the Calenda/Contacts buttons to toggle the screen instead of the camera button? Just a thought.
try this nifty lil program i found on emule works great on pc2002/2003 i have jog button installed to my calendar button just press the button and the screens off press power button to turn back on very simple or hold my calendar button down and the calendar coems up
just transfer to your xda/pda and click it to turn screen off or toggle it to one of your buttons

Screenoff works perfect, but how do you manage to let the calendar button have a double function?
Found a prog cald jogbutton here http://www.yorch.net/downloads/JogButtonSetup.zip, but this doesn't seem to work on Pocket PC PE 2003.
job button works fine on ppc2003 i have it on my xda :\ just assign calendar or contacts to job button then load up jog button click on setup then apply it to the progs you want it to open.
prob i found with pc2002 with screen off is it doesnt come back on with the power button lol so here is screen on for peeps with pc2003 no need to install this if on pc2003 as it works fine on it
use button plus v2.0 from yorches site i find it better then jog button as it allows double tap buttons and doesnt go crazy when turniong screen off on tomtom 2 lol

I'm not withyou on this jog button thing bro. Can you talk us thru it again from the start. I have this program installed and cant get it to do anything. Much thanx...
install jog button then.....
assign either contacts or the calendar button to the shortcut in th startmenu so it starts up jog button.
then hold the button down you assigned it too....
you will see setup appear i nthe bottom left hand corner with the button still held in click on setup using the stylus then assign programs from within that menu its very simple to do :roll:
anyway found a better program its called button plus v2.0 download it from yorches site in the software section works much nicer
Yippeee!!
I just found out how to get around the problem where the "Start" button gets disabled and soft-reset was the only way to re-enable it! A little more info on the problem -
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
- The last application that ran would appear instead of "Start" even after you close/minimize the application.
- Clicking on the button, would do nothing...the button goes dead.
- Clicking on the signal strength icon is dead, clicking on any notifications does nothing, you cant alternate click the clock! Only thing clickable is the "Close" button and the speaker button (only when in a call)
HERE's HOW TO GET YOUR DEVICE OUT OF THIS STATE!
Simple! Just press the POWER button of your device to turn it off, and simply press it again to turn it back on to get all the buttons on the top bar functional again!! Haha!!
I used to soft reset all the time for this, now this is an easy fix ;o)) Just thought i'd share it if others have this same problem on their devices!
Cheers!

After upgrading to gingerbread CM7, my home button seems to stop doing anything for me. Long pressing doesn't bring up recent apps, and pressing it doesn't take me to the home screen. I get vibrate feedback, but the button won't do anything! The only way to get to my home screen is to press the back button a lot.
Might be helpful if u put in something like "[CM7]" in ur post title to get attention of people using CM7.

I had a similar problem. My menu button and back button didnt work, as in no vibration feedback. Nothing. All I had to do was reboot my phone and it now it works fine. Idk if im lucky but it hasnt happened again. You might have tried this cuz its like the first thought that comes to mind but just tryin to help
Go to settings < cm7 settings < input settings < and the first one long press home button
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
This happened to me after a rom flash. I ended up having to flash it again. Reboots didn't help me, but definitely do that before proceeding with anything else.
hello everyone, here is a mod which will let you use your search button as power button. this package is created for those who have broken power button
by applying this mod you can use the search button to lock your device or to get the power menu
as the search button is capacitive touch button you cannot use it to wake your screen but you can use your volume button to wake your screen
today in almost every custom rom there is a option for waking mobile by pressing volume key
download
Surely will save someone's broken power. I tried, it works, and I will include it in next version of my ROM.
Good use for useless button! Yay!
looking forward on your next release
This may not belong here, but I thought if anyone knew it would be you... Is there a way to re-map the menu button to pop up recents instead of menu, and then menu on long press?

Hello guys,as our LG ON[P690] is a OLD device,now I've started facing some problems with my Power key, Volume DOWN key, and sometimes Back key. All these keys don't respond on my device. Facing too much of problems when it comes to Power key because i cant even lock the device nor could wake up the screen when its locked! Too much of battery gets drained when the screen stays awake! some how i found something for this problem. Wish to share with you all too..
Here is a mod that remaps your search button and makes it a power button and your power button as search button. It works on all Andro vs. i.e GB,ICS,JB,KK. As far as our device is concerned it works on GB,ICS n JB too..
So here is the link to the thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634368&highlight=search+as+power
