Home Button

[GREGHARKINS]

I noticed today that when i am in a program and press the home button it takes me back to the home screen/today screen as it should. But when I am on the home screen when i press home key again it doesnt open the start menu.. I tested this on a stock phone at the retail store and that is how it works but i only get back to the home screen no extra pushes will get me to the start menu.. i have to tap the windows start icon.. any ideas???

Mines does the same thing, thought this is how it's supposed to work.

The home button is completely useless IMO, if you press the end key, it does the same thing. The only time i see it being useful is in call, but im used to not going to the homescreen in call.

I would remap the button, but my adventures with aebutton havent been so good. It gives a slight lag in between actually doing the function youve assigned to the button, just enough to annoy me.

The back button is useless too, i only use it in the camera app. I want to reassign both of them but in the registry and not by a program.

I agree the Home button is useless. The first thing I absolutely missed going from Apache to TP is the lack of total navigation via hardware buttons.

go to start/settings/personal/buttons and you can assign it to longpress sendkey.... i did that for quik menu, i just wish they would have had a dang win key and ok key like my mogul.

ok i got the longkey press working ok... now about this AE Button software.. who uses it and is it good for the Touch Pro?

I use AE ButtonsPlus for the enter and volume keys... couldn't get it to work with home/back or send/end keys though.
You can set buttons to launch apps with one, two, three clicks; or long hold - pretty nice since we're lacking in the buttons department now
I mapped ok/close to long hold of the center d-pad

Wow. Thanks for the heads up about that. Works awesome (at least the way i like it). I did the "add button" thing with the home button and set it to start menu, then "add button" with the back arrow button and set that to today screen. Perfect! Totally never needed aeb with my mogul.
