the joystick d-pad has reassigned what it does on its own - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

on my blue angel the d-pad at the bottom below the screen has gone screwy.
instead of
up = up
left = left
right =right
down =down
I have
up = left
left = up
right = down
down = right
everything moved round one I have no idea why. the only notable thing to happen recently was that it locked up on me when I was closing a doc file and it said it had run out of memory to save so I had to reset the blue angel.
I imagine this is some sort of easy registry fix to reassign what the keys do but I don't what to alter or where to look so if anyone can offer a hint I'd be grateful.

Problem with Midlet Manager Controls

Hello everyone,
I can not for the life of me figure out (some of) the controls for Midlet Manager. I have installed Splinter Cell PT (v400 game) and it runs very fast which is cool but I can't figure out any of the buttons.
What buttons control the "soft keys" (left and right buttons under screen)?
is there a way to map 2,4,6,8 to the D-Pad for up, left, right and down?
I think this software is poorly written and didn't take into consideration the mapping of the keys as were there is no configuration for it either.
Thanks
Posted almost too soon
I figured it out. the left and right soft keys are * and # you have to hit Fn twice to lock the keypad ( you use the keypad for directional controls) and the * and # are the left and the right soft keys.
If anyone can figure out how to map them though, it would be helpful

portrait to landscape screen switch how?

I've now got my XDA IIs and let it put O2 activeon to start with.
had a look,
then hard reset and got rid of it.
great
any problem is, no tool to go from portrait to lanscape screen orientation.
how does one get this back?
Select start, settings, system tab then select "screen" botom RH icon from here you can select screen oriantation - I know its not an on screen short cut but at least it gets it back for you, I wouldn't put the O2 active on the device it caused me nothing but trouble, I fail to understand why O2 sell the device with a rubish software load - Mike
Aother way if you want an on screen icon is to load up Omega One Batery Pack Pro. This will put the battery strength meter back onto the screen as well as other useful information, but in addition it loads "programe Bar" from here you can have short cuts to practically anything on the device - I have just tried it so I know it works - Mike
I've mapped my t-zones key (3rd from the left on the bottom row) to flip orientation.
Perhaps you could try that. :wink:
PHM tools does a free tool as well.
V
tap start - settings - personal - buttons.
from there u can reset hard keys to what u want. i have the home button stored to this, the first button above the call button.

FingerKeyboard/Input Select Problem

I've recently installed FingerKeyboard, and I must say that I love it.
My favourite aspect of it is the fact that it covers up the bottom bar, thereby reducing the wasted space onscreen.
The problem is, when you hold down the triangle off to the right of the icon on the bottom bar that toggles the onscreen keyboard, it gives you the menu to select your text input method.
For some reason, this triangle is still triggered through the FingerKeyboard overlay. So in landscape mode, when I go to hit the right edge of the spacebar (which I do constantly, trying to minimize finger travel, and hitting the spacebar with my right thumb out of habit from typing a computer keyboard), rather than the spacebar, I hit the triangle (which is covered up), resulting (in the very least) with no space (because the spacebar isn't triggered). In the most extreme case, I get the menu popping up over the keyboard and the whole screen, which is tremendously annoying.
Is there any way I can solve this, or remove/disable the input selection menu?
Thanks
Could really use an answer...
I would start by contacting the developer
This is indeed really annoying, is there already a solution found for this problem....
?

Advanced Config 3.3 Keymapping

I have the Sprint TP2 and I seem to have a weird problem with the keymapping on the advanced configuration. I noticed when I changed the left softkey, nothing happened when the left softkey was pressed(after soft reset).
However, when both left and right softkey was changed, the keymapping fields seems to be swapped. Basically, I have my "phone" set as my right softkey and "opera" set as my left softkey but when either softkey is pressed it opens the opposite. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

[Q] ICS On-Screen Button Position

Does anyone know if I can actually keep the on-screen / virtual / software buttons to the bottom side of the phone like phones with hardware buttons? or in a longer explanation:
If I hold the phone upright, the buttons stay on the bottom side of the screen and phone.
If I rotate the phone 90 degrees counter-clockwise, the buttons moved to the current right side of the screen (bottom side of the phone) and icons rotate.
If I rotate the phone 90 degrees clockwise, the buttons moved to the right (top side of the phone) and icons rotate. <- I want this to change, where the buttons would move to the current left side of the screen (bottom side of the phone)
I'm using Galaxy Nexus stock ICS 4.0.2, not sure if it's addressed currently (by a setting), in 4.0.3 or if there's a mod out there. It's a big issue for me and possibly all left-handed users since I can't access those buttons while holding the phone sideways.
