Turning off external buttons on motorola flip??

IMfamousJIM · 09-04-2005, 01:14 AM

hey... i have a v400 and i HATE the volume buttons on the outside.

when the phone's in my pocket and i move around i always end up hitting the buttons and it making loud noises/changing my ring options/etc.

is there some way to turn off these buttons when the phone is closed?

thanks,
'Jim

(sorry if this has been brought up before, it seems like it should have, but i could not find it in a search)

what you need to do is buy a usb data cable. Then do some serious surfing over at howardforums.com VXXX series phones among others are built using "seem" files. These customize the functionality and settings of the phone.

You can modify (basically you hex edit, or switch bits "on" or "off") this particular seem to mute those beeps and blips. In terms of turning it off...you mean disabling those buttons? Just lock the phone?

Yup...just verified on my v635. If you lock the phone....SETTINGS/SECURITY/PHONE LOCK. it'll disable the buttons

That's the goomba-I-ain't-no-cellphone-junkie-programmer-hacker way
