Why isnt there something to add functions to center button?? - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

I tried jogbutton because I thought it added controls to the center bottom button on pocket pc with wm2003. I was disapointed to find out it only modified the contact button. Hopefully someone will find a way to and something like press and hold to launch fonix voice or something. Let me know if there is. Thanks, John :wink:

Think about it, the centre button is actually a d-pad, not a button to be assigned.
Yeah you could have holding down UP = launch a program but imagine the times where you've held it down for just too long and whoops. Instead of scrolling through the list of text messages you get a program come up.
I'd not want any extra functionality on the d-pad, except maybe in games.

Double Launcher will give you four functions for each of the two top buttons. Excellent app, highly recommend it! Dirt cheap too.

I dont really use the center button for scrolling so that wouldnt bother me and cant you also press in the center of the button. It just when im driving its a pain to shuffle the phone down so I can press one of the top buttons when I am using voice dial so often. K'now what I mean. :wink:

We'll just search for you shall we! the time it took you to type all that jiberish I punched a few words into my browser and came up with more information than you can poke a stick at, dont pay out on others for not reading or searching when it seems you your self have no idea what is going on.....again what the hell does this have to do with Atom Upgrading?
lol got a better suggestion? the other forum is dead
Has ANYONE managed to map the call button/end call button/windows button for games like tetris, worms etc? I think its a bug!! Where can i find fix?

Hardware Button (on the keypad)

Hello,
Does someone know a solution for mapping the hardware buttton that normaly launch internet explorer? I would like to use it for X/closing cause I'm already tired to go on the upper side of the screen. i.e. when you put a new meeting with the keyboard, it is hard to go to the cross (up and right) for "saving" the new meeting.
I just bought this phone cause it has a good harware keyboard, but it's not important for me to have a direct access to internet explorer.
Thanks for your replies!!

Which button are you talking about?
I use AE Button to assign the Voice Recorder button to the OK/Close function and it works brilliantly. You can assign single press, long press and double press to different functions. It's a great little app that takes up very little system resources.
I'd still like to know which button is the Internet Explorer button because I didn't know we had that feature!
EDIT: Okay I just realised that you probably have the 16 key version whereas mine is the 20 key version
that's it, I've got the 16 key keypad. I really miss teh Ok/close button, caus I have to grip off my phone for going to the upper right corner of the screen and come back to the keypad....
AE button, doesn't work for this button, neither Vito button...
Anyone an other solution

Why doesn't AE Button Plus work?
I use it for OK/Close and it works perfectly well
So I must not have using it the good way.
But wich button are you talking about, cause with AE button, it only "see" the three external button (wich are on the side). I know that you can assign every button with AEbutton, but when I assign the internet key for ok/close, it close the app the first time I use it and then the key come back to its previous function (internet explorer). Someone a reg trick?
I have the 16 key version too and want the same, an ok button on the keyboard. button utilities only recognize the hardware buttons and not the keyboard buttons so there is no way to map these. hopefully someone will update their utility to include the keyboard buttons.
cheers,

"happy" to see that I'm not the only one who don't suceed by trying to change the function of the internet explorer button on a 16 keypad of a dual for using it with the ok/close button...
I found the camera button akwardly placed (kept launching the damn thing by accident) and dont use the camera much - so I remapped the cam button to OK/Close and have found this does the job for me. Not really a solution I know, but it wokrs for me.
Yes AE Button is great, but while you can map any key like Mail or IE, it will still launch the old app, we'd have to find a way to not launch the old app, in the registry possibly.

I have found the same. Has anyone managed to map IE button succesfully? Also there is a pause/delay when using buttons handled by AE Button, has anyone else noticed this?
any updates!? i think it can be done in the registry though i don't know how. hope that someone can crack this.

I have found a rudimentary solution. Add the IE key using AE Button Plus and run the following Mortscript (I am still a novice scripter) to close IE when it opens automatically and then run Opera Mini.
WaitFor("Internet Explorer",5)
Close("Internet Explorer")
Run("\Windows\jbed.exe", "-run s0_")
It works for me. If anyone has any suggestions on improving it, please let me know.
anythig new about this, pls?
thx

Did anyone has a solution for this? Have been searching to change Ok/Enter and IE buttons. AEBPlus doesnt really work perfectly and eat into RAM..
Can we change registry? lnk? read somewhere about long_press_xxxx.ink but dont find it in our Nike.
Anybody found a solution for this? I've tried everything but couldn't map the IE button on my 16-key Nike to OK/Close.

How to wake up the phone

Hi guys,
My power off button is somewhat messed up, its quite difficult to wake up the phone by pressing it. Is there any other way to turn on the screen without pressing the bloody button, it has driven my crazy lately.
Cheers,
Hi
If the button is really tired, can't you get the seller to change the phone?
Other ideas: in case it would be some software trouble: hard reset?
Use à cab like Mort button, Hbutton, AEbutton to wake up your screen from other command?
PS ShutXp is wat u need ,
set up AEbutton plus like this:
a key(like camera) double tap to to launch shutxp
same key single tap : close application
and tick "today icon" in shutxp it makes it operate smoother
so if u double tap it will come up and single ull be back from standby ... and ull have a nice close app button also
a few skins cuz the default ones are ugly here or here or search button

That sounds good, will try it tonight
Thanks mate
Got sometime playing around with AEButton, pretty complicated I would say (atleast to). It seems like the soft ware could only assign jobs for hardkey buttons, is there any chance to set up so that when the screen is turned off, double tapping it makes it wake up??

How will Samsung implement the JB voice action?

Since its a...hold the home button, then Swype up to the virtual icon that pops up to activate Google Now.
Any ideas as to what they will do? I knew this button thing was a bad idea. :cyclops:
I think (though I may be mistaken) you can also access Google Now the same way you access voice search (the mike icon on the search bar on the home screen). This would obviously be much less convenient, though.
In my opinion they should kick s-voice to the curb! but thats just me
That's right...double tap brings up Voice. Maybe that's what they will do. Sucks that because of S Voice...there is a slight pause after pressing the button once to get back Home.
simple, replace long-press menu.
They might implement re-assigning the home button function, JB Voice looks pretty sweet.

Can I make the volume button into a power button?

I've got the "side key" set to be a power button, but every fiber of my being believes the power button is the one on top. Is there any way I can make the volume up button act as a power button?
You will adapt...
Yeah I think you can do that... saw a remapping apk or that option somewhere.
Problem is it may come back to haunt you; follow the KISS protocol whenever possible.
Those buttons serve some important functions especially when you're having major problems.
Probably a bad idea to alter the button layout that much... after a couple weeks it becomes automatic, more or less
You may find the Galaxy Store app One Handed Operation Plus useful to add more virtual switches.
