[Q] Keyless entry remotes and cellphones - General Questions and Answers

A while back I remember hearing that if you left your key fob for your car at home and accidentally left your keys in the car and locked yourself out, you could call home and have the person put the key fob to the microphone of the phone and you put your phone next to the door of your car. They press the remote, sending the radio signal over the phone. I've always wondered if this was actually possible and, if it is also possible to emulate the same radio frequency using your cellphone.

Screen lock on A2DP Bluetooth?

Firstly - hello all! What a great forum, I've gone from knowing nothing about Windows Mobile to having a fully customised Raphael in about 48 hours!
But: I have a set of Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones which work excellently (although I haven't yet made or received a call using them). I also have a Sony a2dp Bluetooth headunit which also works excellently.
However .... As a matter of course I use the one touch power button to lock/standby, and when I press play/pause on either bluetooth device it automatically unlocks the phone.
When I'm driving this isn't such an issue as I will be ordering a Brodit Car Cradle very soon. But when I have the handset in my pocket using the S9 having it unlocked is a recipe for unwanted screen presses. I use the Touch Media Player (I know it's not the best but it seems to work OK for what I want) and the handset switches to the Music screen automatically (as well as unlocking) whenever I press play/pause. So theoretically it's pretty likely that it's only the media player that will get messed with, but you never know...
So my question is: Is there any way of stopping it from unlocking like this without introducing extra locking/unlocking complications?
hi
im using the Jabra BT3030, that uses A2DP aswel, on my touch pro and my phone stays locked when i start stop use the voice dailing, changing volume or song.
the phone turns on that is true, are u sure u are using the lock function
to realy lock ure phone u have to press and hold the end call button for 2 seconds(lower right button). if that button is not set to lock u can change that in ure phone settings under settings>long press end key there u can chose lock device
i hope this helps, let me know

Yeah, I'm using SonyEricsson HBH-DS980, and for me too the phone only turns on upon play/pause etc., but does not unlock.
Have you guys had any problems with receiving/making call using your headests? I have a problem that after a few minutes into a call my headset disconnects, although BT stays on, and I have to restart the headset to re-acquire BT-lock. And it keeps doing this every few minutes. Highly annoying - renders my headset completely useless for phone calls (luckily it still rocks for listening to music).
Mine does the same. Both with my HBH-DS970 and with my HTC BT headphones. I tried the long-press end key lock which works, but prevents me from changing tracks using the HTC headset, yet the volume control works. Weird huh?
I haven't tried the long end key press to lock the device. But thats because I use that for switching on vibrate mode.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I'm using the motorola S9 too, and my TP doesn't unlock when I press play/pause.
Note that I've installed Answerkeydisabler and Advanced Config Tool and played with locking/screen-off, and may have activate some options leading to this behaviour...

u can always set the long key to "always display the quick list" so u can chose to lock ure device or set ure vibrate ringer
also u can just use the volume keys to change ure ringer to vibrate/sound to
I am now using the quick list so it sort of solves the problem. But it still seems a little awkward compared to just pressing the power button once and not having the a2dp commands reactivating it.
Are we saying that this cant be done?
Any ideas?

Bluetooth Headset Problem - No End Call

I'm sure I'm missing something simple. When I press the button on my bluetooth headset the phone activates voice dialling and I can make a call. At the end of the call I press the button again (the only one!) and my TP does not hang up. I have to press the hangup key on the phone or switch on the screen and press the red end call button. I can preses again on the bluetooth set (get a tone) but still nothing. Holding in the button eventually switches off the headset but still the phone stays connected! Using vodafone UK branded TP and vodafone handsfree bluetooth headset. Am i missing some sort of setup on the phone to make this work?

Volume Control HTC Touch HD Run.GPS

I have recently bought a touch HD, overall an excellent phone/PDA. I have just used the phone with the run.GPS software (track and records training runs). One problem I am having is that when I unlock the phone on run.gps it triggers the volume control as the armband holder presses on the side volume buttons.
Just wondering if anyone knows how to permanently lock the side volume buttons without actually locking the phone totally itself (i.e. with slide to unlock). I have spent hours looking generally on the net but can't find anything!
Thanks
there is a app called aebuttons or something try searching for that

[Q] Help Please! Need to remap power button (dropped phone)

Arg! I dropped my xv6800 in the car (no I was not texting). It hit some hard plastic on the floor, and now when it goes to sleep, nothing I do will wake it back up...
What program in the windows folder do I need to map to to replace my power button? Is there another way to change it (other than advanced configuration manager?)? Arg!
