Hi everyone,

I noticed that quite a few times I accidentally start the camera or voice recording app. The voice one isn't that bad, you can quite right away, but the camera will eat half your battery and and make you wait for 10 min before you can get control again (ok, I'm exaggerating a little :)

I searched the forums around here, and someone suggested using McPhling to remap the buttons, however McPhling doesn't support the camera button.

Ideally I'm looking for something that will make you press the button 2 or 3 times before it loads it up. ( I've heard that there is something like this for the Tungsten folks)

does anyone know of a similar app but for Clie NZ90 ?

thanks
dks

Don't remember, but you should have a hold button, maybe?

There was an app called disable_buttons, but never tried it.

I do have a zipped copy of it though and it's freeware.

Here is the Palmgear link:

Thanks n2ifp

I always use the hold button when playing music to save batteries on screen, although it seems no longer necessary with the NZ90. The screen turns off anyway as soon as you close the lid down...

the problem with the side buttons is that they seem to be in the same place where I usually hold the clie with my thumb. Hold button at this point is useless because I already have the clie turned on and using it and then suddently it switches to another app...

thx

It almost looked like the PowerOn app will do the job but it doesn't support Voice and the Camera app :(

but that would be exactly what I was looking for...
