I've searched but I can't find any one else complaing of this problem and it's driving me nuts.
When I extend the hardware keyboard to type, my finger often rests on the power button turning the screen off. Does anybody else face this problem? Is there a registry hack to disable the power button with the keyboard is extended?
Thanks
jejeje
Same problem!!!! so frustating!!!
No you are not the only one; I also have this problem; when writing message I touch the power button accidentally a lot and the only solution I could come to was to be more delicate and careful when writing
Regards,
Yep, same problem here! A really silly thing to miss - there's not particular reason to not have the power button on the right at the top rather than the left.
all the time....
very frustrating,
..then I try to open it, wait a fraction of a second, click it again for fear of not having pushed it enough the first time, ... and I end with the sleep mode on the phone , .. so I click it firmly for a third time finally opening it..
timewaste...
same here

Happens to a lot of people. Don't know how you search but:

me too
Add me to the list.
Which makes me wonder, why didn't they place the power on the top right?
Well at least I know I'm not the only one. Still hoping someone smarter than I will find a way to disable it with keyboard extended
@vdKarel I would have found those post had I spelt button with two t's (#)
I wasnt having that problem until today actually. lol. funny you bring it up. After discovering this, i did find it a little inconvenient where the power button is placed
happens some times. probably the power button would be better in an other place
I do it all the time as well
I use it a lot (pages and pages of word documents written on it in the train) and it doesn't happen...
When I hold mine with keyboard extended, my left index (which is the one which could hit the power button) is folded, so it hits the left side of the keyboard "block" (no power button here) then goes under the screen "block" and holds the back of the keyboard "block", it doesn't press the left side of the screen "block" (which has the power button).
Do you guys have your left index extended for it to be along the left of both the keyboard "block" and the screen "block" ? I don't see how else you could be hitting the power button...
PS : On my TyTN, this allowed me to turn the PPC on and off with the left index tip with the keyboard out, this avoided waiting for the screen to rotate when I knew I'd wand it in landscape when I trun back on.
This only happens to me after ALMOST completing a 900 word e-mail . . .
You're not alone, and there are fixes for this:

For the Tilt 2, this doesn't happen. I don't know if it's because of WM 6.5 or something AT&T implemented or what, but the power button has no effect when the keyboard is out. I actually want to find a way to enable that because at times I want to put it in sleep mode while open.
Why do you have your fingers extended?? I never have this problem in my TP2!

um.. to hold it securely?
ummm, not to sound like a smart a$$ but this has been covered n many threads previously...i believe that if u search for "disable power button" ull find ur answer...its a simple .cab installation that disables the power button when the keyboard is extended...hope that helps and good luck
anyone know of a way to change the function of the mute button on the back of the phone? I don't think I'll hardly ever use that function, and it'd be great to give it another purpose.
Appreciate any help...
it would be great to be able to use it as the camera button.
i know it's close to the lens, be careful.
m to record button
that would be great if we can remap to record but i used aebutton plus and it cant detect it, any other software recomendations other than Vito and AEbutton mapper?
Any new info on this? I'd love to use the mute button for something else, even if it meant the face-down mute feature wouldn't work anymore. I renamed a program's .lnk file to "Short_mute.lnk" and dropped in \Windows but it didn't work like it does for some buttons.
It is possible and it works like a charm for me.
I ran across a keyboard remapper by Tarkim linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
Just make sure you choose the correct version (GSM or CDMA.)
I have used it on all of my keys, including the mute button on the back and so far it has been working great!
I agree with glw35 - I'm using this program for emulating Czech keyboard layout (CShack version - e.g. FN+S = ลก) on HW keyboard and it's working like a charm! And I remapped back "Mute" button to "Close active window"...

Id like to map the mute button to the camera
Anyone know how to do that wit this lil app?
1) Start program configuration applet Settings/All Settings, tab System, Keyboard Config
2) Menu/Add key
3) Press desired key (e.g. Mute Button)
4) Choose Action=Run program
5) Into Program edit box enter \Windows\Camera.exe
6) OK
7) Update Config (needed to reflect config changes to keyboard driver)
And it should work, I Yust tried it on "Back" button.

Mute button as record button
since i bought the device i always saw the mute button as record button, with mort script here is my contribution
just zip and put anywhere in your device, as the software Keyborad config to launch it on long press for example, the script will if HTC Recorder software is not running then it will run and start recording, and if it already runing then it will stop the record, the script even has a place to takle device being locked so it will unlock and do the process
regards
mute button to record, help please.
hi everyone. this is my 1st post, and so far, i've been able to answer most of my questions by searching, so apologies if i dun something wrong, or am just dense and missed somethin.
ok, i have a meeting next week, and need to record it, surreptisiously.
1st, as pointed out above(havent figured out how to quote yet !) i've installed tarkim's key remapper.
seems to work fine, but, im trying to make the mute button on the back turn on the voice recorder. i've tried getting it to use record.ink and record.exe but although both options open the voice recorder, neither makes it actually start recording! im looking for a 1 button action to record voices.
i tried the zip above too, but it says 'unable to open, open from within application then try again or something.
can anyone help me please ? my career hangs on being able to record this meeting .
also, when using the remapped mute button, the screen lights up and shines from underneath the phone, which might be a bit of a giveaway lol, anyway to make the recorder work with the screen still off ?
and also, how long can you record for ? is there a limit ? or is it dictated by the storage space available ?
thanks in advance, thanks to all the mods n gurus here at XDA, you all rock, n i'm a confirmed HTC n winmo addict now lol.
Garrickus.
okay am here lets try to get the software working for u, first install attached file, then answer this question, do u use a password to lock ur device or not? then i will re attach some files for u to help u
mute button to operate voice recorder continued
hi rabia, thanks for your blindingly quick response ! unfortunately, i've been away for the weekend and unable to post.
i have a uk orange branded locked tp2. this has the htc voice recorder (version 1, build 1914.1333) already installed. can you explain please what the above file is for ?
in answer to your question, i do not use a password to access my device.
as mentioned in my last post, i have successfully mapped the mute button to the voice recorder app, using tarkims key remapper mentioned near the top of the 1st page, but this only starts the app, not starts the app recording. this is the app similar to a dictaphone, not the 'in call' voice recorder.
thanks for your time by the way, hopefully one day, my tp2 will work exactly the way i want, but i guess i'm a perfectionist lol.

good, get the zipped file extracted, put the MSCR file on windows directory, along with the link file, then assign the back button to launch the "LINK" onlythen it will launch recorder and record then when mute button pressed again it will stop it and close the application
regards
ok, so i've unzipped the two files and copied them to the windows directory. then i deleted the previous association with the mute button, and assigned it to your record.link. press the mute button and hey presto, the voice recorder opens, but doesnt start recording guess i must be doing something wrong somewhere, but i've no idea what lol. guess im starting to do your head in Rabia, cos it's definately starting to do mine in

i guess there is something wrong, first have you got mort script installed in your device?, and secondly it it opend record and does not record it might still means u have not updated ur configurations after reassigning the button, to know if the program working correctly or not launch it from the .mscr file if it works from there then it works fine if not then u either dont have mort script installed "http://www.sto-helit.de/downloads/mortscript/MortScript-4.2.zip" or u dont have touch pro 2
regards
well, if you'd said at the begining 'do you have mortscript installed?' rabia
ok, so i had mortsript on my storage card, so i installed it
and nothing changed , except, my storage card became invisible
so i swopped cards, deleted everything, and tried again, including ur link to mortscript (4.2 instead of 4.1 i already had).
hey presto, now when i press the mute button, it stops whatever i'm doing, takes me to the today screen, and applies the screenlock
i now have a one button push to lock my phone
just to make sure, i pressed ur record.mscr file in the windows directory, and the same happens
to be fair though, my phones been acting up recently, so im considering a hard reset at the weekend as well as re formatting the storage card.
i'll try this again after as i still think this would be a kool feature to have.
i'll keep u posted, and once again, thanks for all your help.
p.s.- i mite be a noob, but i know i've got a TP2

sorry i was not suggesting anything, it was a joke, anyways try to replace the mscr with the attached file and tell me exaclt what happens
ok, so i replaced the record.mscr in the windows directory, with the record.mscr.txt in the zip above, and now, tarkims keyremapper doesnt see it, so i cant configure the mute key to run it as a program lol.

there should not be .txt to try renaming the file to record to .mscr only, am avalable online, i will stay till u get it right its hard to write a script for a different phone thats why i need us to stay communicating
regards
ok, so i renamed the record.mscr.txt , removing the .txt . then i retried the keyremapper, but again, it dint't see it, so i went back into the windows directory, and hey presto, it had renamed itself record.mscr.txt
there is nothing action when i press my camera button.
i press the camera button, and the camera function doesn't work.
but it still has the carema function in the ROM which i cooked in my X1.
how do i fix my camera button ?
THANKS ~!
Did you break the connector off the board or got it disabled through software?
NO~, just cook the Energy rom.
i can't press the camera button to start up the xperia camera.
But i can start up the xperia camera through ".\Start Menu\Programe\Multimedia\xperia camera".
Also, i notice that, when i start up the xperia camera, i still have the "focus" function....,but just missing "shutter" funtion.
HAHA,can you understand what i taliking about?
please help me.~
i think thats a hardware problem, i believe pressing the camera key on energyroms still opens up xperiacam
and since you have no shutter function that shows its a hardware problem
I can fully understand you, I have same problem. Probably its a HW problem, but after flashing camera button sudenly has been worked. Now problem is back and I have to push at button with power. maybe it will be a feature Not a bug
I have the same problem and its not a hardware thing, i got a new phone for diffrent reasons and it worked till i copy my old system over. I dont really care that much since the camera is crap anyway..but it would be nice to know how to fix it..
you can use the app(button hook)

it would be more satisfying to have it back as it should be, but i really dont remember if i messed up the camerabutton setting in the registy or if some additional software is missing from autostart that checked this button..
