Disabling the camera button - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I get really fed up with the camera turning on everytime I accidently press the button. So I set the camera button to 'none' which did the trick, until I soft reset. I have to re-do the change after every soft reset. Have any of you come across this problem or better still have a solution?
I even installed Battery Pack Pro but the 'power button' settings are ignored, so if I set the camera button to none for both tap and hold when I press it the camera appears!
Please help this is driving me mad.

Are you on WM5? It might be an unresolved issue.
Otherwise, try to assign a different application to the camera button and see if it remembers it.

I'm using 2003 se.
I'll try allocating a different app and see if it's remembered.
thanks

what is your device model my friend???

T-Mobile MDA III running the standard T-Mobile ROM - although I have upgraded the radio ROM. But this problem has always existed.

just go at the windows/startup directory. You will see there a camera_detect program. This is what reassigns the camera application on the camera button every time you soft reset. Just delete it.

Brilliant.
These things are so easy when you know the answer!
Many thanks.

i had that same problem and fixed it the same way =)

Camera button assignment problem

hi, Everytime I change the camera button to open another program (via settings, buttons) it would work and then switches back to default of camera whenever i do a soft-reset. Is anyone else having this problem? PLEASE HELP. thanks.
no help for you, but in my system it changes back even without soft reset. it worked for a day or something, but when i used it with wmp the next day tha cam started again.

'Settings' not closing

Hi, Recetly the 'Settings' window wont close, when i tap on the 'x', it just freezes, the rest of the phone works ok, but i cant get 'Settings' to close. i have to do a soft reset!
Anyone had this problem, or suggest a fix
Cheers
press the red phone button several times, it will come loose then.
yeh that 'minimises' it, but its still frozen in the background lol. the next time i go to open settings, its still frozen, until i do a soft reset...
I've had that problem. Absolutely no idea what causes it
I just press the red button and navigate to whatever else I want to do.........unless it is change settings in which case a soft reset is the only answer

True, happens here 2, but find it a minor problem, because you can do anything else and settings cannot be closed via the task manager (so does it influence the ram?)
SR is so easy and do it several times a day sometimes for clean ram (got it under a HW button )
But IF there is a solution, i am a little interested.
yeh, i usually SR for RAM anyway, its just annoying lol

Most key input wacky after soft reset!?

My phone backs up and resets overnight, and I woke up this morning to check email etc and noticed that the 4 hard keys on the front of the phone were all acting funny.. End key doesn't beep, send key didn't open the dialer, Okay button didn't close the current window.. then I found the PTT key didn't do anything either.. However, the Windows key DOES!
Hosed around for a while, launched AEButtonPlus to check it out, reset a few times, yanked the battery, etc.... Nothing. So I went back into AEButtonPlus to see what happens if I add a button and hit the Phone button and it pops up 00ED. Weird.. So I went looking into the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys entries, looks fine as far as I can tell... Got curious and launched the Buttons preference, looks okay in there, except strangely the last screen for holding the End button has *no* selection, normally it has the two radio options, with more radio options below the second one, none selected..
So then I exit back out of the Buttons apps and are hosing around and find the buttons are magically working again. Soft reset, etc, all is fine!?
AEButtonsPlus got confused?? Nope, at some point I removed it from Startup and soft reset, was the same. And now that it's working again, all my settings in it are fine.
I am using QuickMenu attached to the Win key, so perhaps why that kept working?
Very strange.. At least it's back now, and I (think?) I know a workaround if it happens again, launch the Buttons preference.
This ever happened to anyone else?
same problemo

Yours fixed by launching the buttons setting? I don't know if that's what fixed it, but it seems like it went away after that, perhaps a few more soft resets.

[Q] Mute ring not functioning ??!!!

Hello everybody...
When I tap the "mute ring" button during incoming call, it simply not works. Animation showing that screen "recognised" the tap, but it is not doing its function. The Ring call is still "on"...
I am googling for a couple of days and can't find any solution....
Anyone?
Any idea is a great help...
Thanks
46 views and nobody has an idea or my case is unique?
OK...I will extend the problem description....
I tried to "bypass" the problem by installing some apps which work on their own.
For example, Phone Ex 2.2 when I tap the "mute ring" button it does the command "Answer" wtf????
There was another app which I can't remember the name and which is originally designed to program all the hardware buttons as per user's taste, but the application didn't have any "mute ring" option.
So...I think I can not resolve the problem by installing another application, so I beleive there is somebody on this forum that can help me in a different way....
To mute the ringer you can push the down volume key, this is what i do and it always works. This is actually a shortcut button for most phones if i'm not mistaken

Well it WAS on previous models of HTC and blackberry, but it is not the case by default on my device.
I have the same problem with my Touch2 and when this happened, my call (hard) key also not functioning. I have to do a soft reset and it came back to work again. I guess u have to soft reset your phone every couple of days so that it cleared out waste memory which effected this function.
After i soft reset mine, it works again but after using for awhile it will have the same problem. Dont know how to permenently fix

[Q] Home button does not work!

I have looked under the settings for hours and have not found anything! Need help :/
The only way for me to get back to home is to press back a bunch of times, I can't hold the home button to pull up recent apps either.
I am new to android, or just phones in general and my friend flashed my phone with AOKP.
Any help is appreciated!
Alright guys, I was the one that flashed his phone, and he's new to forums so I'll address the problem he's having.
We live far apart so can't really fix his phone for I don't have an S3 myself. His home button was working as it should, home would exit, long press would bring up the multitasking etc.
Today randomly his phone wouldn't respond to the home button. The thing is, I told him to wipe dalivk, do a factory reset, etc. and hes able to use the home button in the recovery but not the ROM itself.
There's a huge probability that he has possibly changed the settings somewhere binding the home button to do absolutley nothing on keypress, but I am just unsure of his settings on his phone. Could anyone help out please? Thanks.
what rom?
Flash stock? See if it's working again?

what rom and launcher.
Op says its aokp.
Next thing id try is reflashing the rom.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
with CM10, you can configure what the home button does, or you can assign "nothing" to it. aokp is basically cm10 with more options, just fiddle with the settings and find that option, it should say something like "hardware keys"
