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
Hi all,
Been looking around for a way to change my volume buttons so that i can use it to scroll up and down (using goodlink and everytime i click on a item it goes into that item and not do a show preview on the preview panel)
Does anyone know of a bit of kit that would do this job? Have looked at "advanced config" but cant seem to find a way to change/map the volume buttons to make them scroll up and down a list.
Thanks
Sorry all...looks like i answered myy own question. Finally found the below to sort out what i need and it works with the topaz!.
Sorry for the same and FYI the thread is below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409243&highlight=remap+volume
"What works for me is AEButton Plus (payware, no affiliation). I have reconfigured my volume buttons to single press = arrow up/down and long press to volume. The program has a nice function: you can choose to let the volume buttons have their default behavior during a phonecall.."
Fine, thank u. And it works on your Touch Diamond 2 Topaz?
yep works a treat on my Diamond 2 topaz
...i do have netcf 3.5 installed before i installed AE buttons aswell for other programs (not sure if that will matter for AE buttons)
im not really getting along with it.
cant see the optino for changing what the volume keys do etc.
Also, would it be possible to set a longer hold of the End Key that would launch the camera application and be used as shutter button?
Thanks
Hmm, interesting thoughts! Especially if the remap is done automatically, and only when the camera is launched.

I believe this issue with scrolling will be resolved with WM6.5 when you can slide the bar up/down to do a selection. In the meantime I use a simple method to scroll/select - say a SMS message. I open the abc phone pad (icon at bottom of screen) and then use the up/down keys (at the bottom) to scroll.
AE Button Plus
Just to confirm.. AE Button Plus DOES allow you to remap the volume buttons to up/down arrows. Just installed it on mine (Touch Diamond 2) and it works perfect.
The setting-up routine isn't obvious though.
When you see your list of keys in AEBP, pres and HOLD on the "Volume up" item. Takes a few seconds for the config menu to pop up.
I then used the following options from the config screen:-
3. Handle by AEBPlus
1. Single Press
5. Press Up arrow key
Then do the same for the Volume Down key, obviously changing the last option to 6. Press Down arrow key.
Then File/Save & Exit, and off you go.

This program can assign any of the hardware buttons to do what you want...
I've set the back button Launch the 'camera' app if it is held for a while and to act as the capture button when taking a picture. It also acts like a normal 'back' button when in other apps such as file explorer,opera, etc.

Using the software provided in this thread it's possible:

You can remap all your hardware buttons.

Hi all,
I want to use the footprints tool but unfortunaley I have an issue to take the photo.
If I want to take a "normal" photo I have to touch the display (this little icon that appears on the display). But I don't have this option, if I want to take a photo with the footprint tools.
How do I take photos there? Can I change the settings somewhere so that I can take a photo by pressing a key?
Thank you for your help!
Bye

Hi, i have the same problem like above. I have installed footprint to my touch2. Unfortunately, touch2 does not has its own shutter button. It depends on onscreen shutter button. footprint does not have onscreen shutter button. Can any suggest on how to take photograph. can the shutter button assigned to any keys like - long press call button? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Where did you download Footprints?
answer
to take a photo with footprint you have to press return.....
on the mega I've found two ways:
1st one, free, is VolDpad (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552947)
2nd one,not free, AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php), remap Volume up or down Long press to return....
I've found that VolDpad is far more stable than ABEP, but less configurable...
Have fun.

Hi Uppy. The footprints can be downloaded from here. forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4652165&postcount=1
Thanks Zogzerg, but voldpad is to remap volume keys to Dpad. I want to remap the shutter key. The remapping can be to either a physical button or on screen at the bottom taskbar. I just want a shutter key to take picture... can be anywhere. (footprint lacks onscreen shutter key)
Hello, there are a few footprints cab's floting around here on XDA. Most are for devices with enter button......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4174400 this link is to a solution for Rhodium; a QVGA device without such a button. This may work for you.....have not tried myself or checked the thread
How do i get it on my M2D Tab ?
I installed the Navipanel and Footprints, but its only on my start menu .. Under a Multimedia tab.. help?
Hi Frank Caarls. Thanks for the reply. However there is no workaround for this problem in that thread. I have checked many threads but nothing seems fruitful so far. Hi deepakmk, u may need to enable it through homesettings.xml.
How do i do that?
Sorry kinda noob at this ><

read my post !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The shutter key for footprint is return !!!!!!!!
Zogzerg, the RETURN key DOES NOT work. It exits the application and nothing happens.
Can u tell exactly what changes u did? Enlighten me..
what programme was assigned to the return key? (start>settings>personal>Buttons)
not OK, return.
short example with AE button plus,
for volume up key (hard), assign
1 click:volume up
Long click:RETURN key (soft) AND NOT "OK" button or it will close the app
and for Volume down key (hard), assign
1 click:volume down
Long click:taskmanager
that's my setting, it work well with footprint......(to take a picture i longpress volume up)
btw, aebp is a little buggy with the (hard) back button (<--), so don't try to remap it.
with voldpad, first install it, then run footprint, add (+), then to take the picture :
double click volume down WITH hold
that's it: click and cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick......

you have to choose long press = ENTER then save and exit
when you launch footprints press and hold volume up when you release photo will be taken
can you tell me when you installed footprints does your home weather still update??

I tried with enter too and still doesn't work. When I release after long press volume up, it just shows the volume program. As for my home weather, it still updates, but just once. After that, it crashes TouchFlo and I'm just stuck with the "tap here to launch touchflo" message. I think I'm going to uninstall this because of this home weather inconvenience and my not being able to trigger new footprints

There was a version of SultanXDA's rom that had the screen snapshot option when you long-press the power button. However, that version was full of bugs and eventually pulled. In following releases, the option was gone. Why was this? Is there a way to get it back?
You can take a screenshot by pressing vol down + power button for about 1 or 2 secs.
The option you talk about need to be set somewhere in settings, not sure where exactly.

It's on by default on mine. Settings > System > Gestures > Press and hold power button.
Sorry I meant to say that I liked being able to press and hold the home button, but it seems this feature was removed?
Seeing how there is no home button anymore and Google is only focused on supporting gesture navigation, that sounds about right.
