Hardware buttons
in [Pocket PC]

From: Mike on 11 Jun 2006 05:56 My PDA is an Acer n30-B. It has four hardware buttons, which are configurable in the Settings - Personal screen. I used to be able, when the PDA was off, to go directly to the associated programs by just pressing the relevant button. Lately, regardless of which one I choose, the PDA switches on and invariably goes to the Today screen. How do I revert to the original behavior ? Thanks, Mike

After powering on the device (and ending up on Today), does the second press result in getting into the given app? -- -- Werner "Menneisyys" Ruotsalainen - Microsoft MVP - Windows - Mobile Devices Please see the Pocket PC Mag Expert Blog (including mine) at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ - you will definitely like it.

From: Mike on 11 Jun 2006 06:14 Replies to your questions : 1. Timeout is set to 6 hours ( = it reverts to Today screen if device is not used for 6 hours ) 2. The answer is yes. The applications are launched correctly Mike -------------------------------------------------------- "Werner "Menneisyys" Ruotsalainen [MVP - Windows - Mobile Devices]" <!ei.maileja(a)kiitos!> wrote in message news:OOFkc4TjGHA.4044(a)TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > 1.

From: Mike on 11 Jun 2006 06:20 Correction : the PDA wakes up on the last screen before shutdown, for the first 6 hours, but does NOT accept the button inputs.

What I meant was : it does not accept the inputs when in OFF mode. --------------------------------------- "Mike" <toocool(a)no-spam-tin.it> wrote in message news:egoF7CUjGHA.4276(a)TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Correction : the PDA wakes up on the last screen before shutdown, for the first 6 hours, > but does NOT accept the button inputs. > > Mike > ------------------------------------- > "Mike" <toocool(a)no-spam-tin.it> wrote in message > news:%238EHj$TjGHA.3572(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> Replies to your questions : >> >> 1.
