Id be interested to know if there is also.

One of the major problems i'm having is when during a call you press backup and end up on your frontscreen.

You then can't controll the call! - I've left some werid messages on different friends voicemail of me swearing at the phone because i can't figureout how to make it hangup!

Yes...LoL, Its Hard to hang Up Quickly since this phone does not have a dedicated Hangup button like my previous HTC HERO.

I think i vaguely remember an app for changing END/HANGUP Button behavior, But not sure about the BACK Button though.

Here we go, i found something for remapping the Keys:

Its possible to intercept the BACK key and do something different:

(I'm no DEV but i'm sure someone should be able to do it:)

@Override

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)  {

    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getRepeatCount() == 0) {

        // do something on back.

        return true;

    }


    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);

}[/codebox]

settings- accesability its greyed out in mine

not clickable at all which is a shame as its a real nightmare when I'm on a call, I always press the back button and it takes ages to get back to the phone display

I'm using the Mocado r4 rom

what is wrong with the touch screen end call button?

[Guest meinnit]

what is wrong with the touch screen end call button?

Bit of a delay to hang up

Simples - I quite often press the back key by mistake (used to other phones) and then it takes forever to get back to the dial screen where you can actually end the call, its really frustrating/annoying

I suffer from the same issue whilst still getting familiar with the phone. The live call can easily be accessed in the notification bar and I find this the easiest way to access the call again

LoL, we Know, but its not quick enough as having a dedicated button.

I dont have the phone (yet), but you should be able to use tasker to do the job:

this is an example to reprogram the camera button, something similar should be possible for the back button
