Hello, I was wondering if there's anyway i could press and hold on to 2 buttons simultaneously for my Universal (Dopod 900)
was playing some games till i've realised that i could only hold on to 1 button at a time. (eg. i can only hold Up or Left instead of moving diagonally)
searched for "keyboard fix/hack" in this forum as well as modaco's forum but having no results, tried 6700's multipress hack and it didn't work as well.
any clues will be appreciated. thanks.
it is possible, as you can press the function or shift keys and another one at the same time
yes, but however, it doesn't work on games. that require any two keys other than function or shift key to be pressed simultaneously. then again, i'll be googling around for a fix.
It's been discussed on here before, and IIRC the people with knowledge of the Universal's hardware said that this was a limitation of the Universal's keyboard driver. Unless someone is willing to attempt to write a new keyboard driver (nobody was last time) this will always be a limitation.
Note that you can press a keyboard key and another button (e.g. the backlight button, or direction keys next to the screen) at the same time, which is awkward but does allow you to do multiple keypresses in games (with some practice!)
I think a better approach for the universal would be a macro-like program that allows one keypress to act as more than one. So, for example, you could program 'E' to be 'WD', 'C' to be 'DX' etc. and so give you an 8 direction d-pad. Maybe there's already some software out there that can do that, I don't know...
was looking for something like that as well. so far with no valid.
sorry for my bad english
some programms are made to work with joy stick
for example we must press up side button of joy stick to pan a map to upward
but artemis have a mouse ball! and we must simultaneously rotate ball! or in some car games!!! we must hold joy stick up button for moving the car! and it is really difficult with mouse ball!!
is there solution for this ?
Same question over here..
I tried playing NFS: Hight Stakes but it only responds to moving the trackball up and down for accelerating and braking, and it doesnt resond to side movements.
I actually dont think that there is a solution for this problem.
I just tried this game; works really well on the HD. Doesn;t fill the screen fully (I guess its 640x480) but its the first good game I've played using the G-Sensor
http://www.4pockets.com/product_info.php?p=109
It also worked fine with my touch hd.
However when I updated my rom to this one,
the game automaticly pressed the hardware buttons (back and end call) that I assigned to 'jump' and 'accelerometer on/off' every 3 seconds. This also happend when I assigned other hardware buttons to these items.
When I assigned 'menu' to one of those hardwarebuttons the menu pops up every 3 seconds.
When I didn't assign any hardware buttons with 'configure keys' nothing happend.
sorry if my english is bad
Doesn't work for me
on WM6.5 Dutty Rom
Is there a default button map for when you list settings/personal/buttons? I'm talking about all the hardware buttons. I have the map of the first 9 buttons from the PDF file that came with the 02 xda companion cd, but I'm missing answer call, end call, and the Dpad. Thanks.
I have an 02 xda iis with windows 2003se.
You can remap the keys via the registry. Sorry I'm not more of a help, it's been a long time since i've done that. Or you could try this:

It has worked for me in the past, but made my PDA slightly unstable(Not a BA)
Thanks for your help. It seems that my dpad is starting to go out. I reinstalled the 2003se operating system back on my phone. Everything works except the dpad - well I shouldn't say it doesn't work. You can get it to scroll up, down, left, and right, but you have to press really hard to do any of those things. I can buy a replacement pad here

I want to get this fixed soon. Then I'll put windows mobile 6 on it.
I am looking to consolidate my TV remote, keyboard, + FireTV remote to one remote with keyboard + IR controls for my dumb TV power + volume. What is everyone else using? Recommendations?
I've been eyeing the Aerb MX3 and MeLE F10 Deluxe. I'm leaning towards the Aerb because it allows the IR buttons to be used without switching to a TV remote mode. I'm nervous about the air mouse kicking on all the time and selecting things I didn't intend to.
Which one did you get? I just ordered the aerb mx3 as am hoping it works good with stb emulator and am happy that it can turn the tv off and on too.. will do up a review after i get it.
I use a harmony smart keyboard. It can send IR to TV and pairs with FireTV using bluetooth. I also have the basic remote. So I use the basic remote 90% of the time but when I need a keyboard and mouse I use that.
I have the F10 Deluxe and love it to death, but it took some keymap editing to get the thing to stop being more of an annoyance than a help, so if you're not rooted/can't root I really wouldn't bother. If you ARE rooted, however, it's pretty amazing. The keyboard's pretty responsive, the air mouse does what it should and only after I turn it on, and being able to charge it by micro USB is a huge plus in my book. I haven't touched the stock remote in almost two months now and I really don't have any complaints.
For anyone interested in it, here's my modified .kl file for the F10 Deluxe. I fixed the mapping for the home and menu buttons, remapped prev/next track to rewind/fast forward, and removed the F10, F11, and F12 mappings for My Box, STB, and TV respectively. If you don't change those last three mappings then any time you press any of those buttons you will minimize or close your current app, which is a real pain when you just wanted to click the TV button to adjust volume.
I was wondering do any of these remotes work on the fire stick since there's no USB port?
that would be a no. oth of these require a USB dongle..
Also. I got the MX3.. dont get it, it sucks.
air mouse mode turns itself on every time the remote wakes from being dormant.. the OK button does not work for most apps unless mouse mode is turned back off.. super annoying.
the back button has the wrong mapping for the fire tv. acts likes a mouse click. - deal breaker
If you're rooted you can remap the keys and i suppose it would be better, but you will still have the problem of the thing activating mouse mode every time you touch a button after it has been dormant for a bit..
that's a bit discouraging ... this morning I'd been eyeing the bluetooth/IR Aerb IBK02
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M32PBXO/
(and there seem to be a ton of clones of this, under the usual names like FAVI -- all of them cost more, some even 2x as much lolol. always have to wonder which is the original, which has better guts, which has better quality/durability keys & touchpad, etc. etc.)
and there was one other BT/IR one I saw today, but it seemed a bit forgettable and overpriced, so I can't remember the brand/model.

I also get tempted by ones like this BT/IR, every now and then:
http://www.amazon.com/Unisen-USA-iPazzPort-Commander-KP-810-18BR-Programmable/dp/B00AQHXQLC/
again, 7 million different brands and clones and variations: RF, BT, IR, laser pointer...
the one I used to have was a Rii (was that the original company for this style?) - bluetooth+laser, it worked rather well, then after a month or two (hoever long just past the return-period expired) some of the bubble-contact-things on the PCB became permanently crunched and there was no way to recover them.
(I actually still have the thing - the charging circuit still works and the laser still works
but also BIG WARNING: the Rii I had worked great with OUYA - but it never paired once with fireTV (that annoying PIN-code-swap-fail many of us have cursed about so many, many times...)
ended up ordering the Aerb IBK-02. because reasons.
no real review yet, giving it a couple hours to charge. at which point I'll complain more or some junk
but -
k, it now claims charged, which is probably a lie, but I turned it on and played a little -
chiclet keys, I can live with. the board itself is very flexy and not solid. but key presses feel much more durable than those mini Rii/FAVI type tiny ones.
- plus: finally micro-usb! we are out of the mini-usb age!
- minus: 250mah battery. seriously??!? this may require some rocket-surgery, I have 400mah batteries small enough to fit in there.
- super-minus: the IR keys go, in order left-to-right: vol- , chan-, "ok", chan+ , vol+ ...... what in the unholy ever-living ****??!?
- minus: incomprehensible "manual" (plus I literally needed a magnifying glass to read some of it...) eh ok I'll figure it all out eventually.
- PLUS!!!: the bizarre manual mentioned the usual about possibly needing to enter PIN codes to pair, which was not encouraging. BUT! using settings.apk, it paired and connected immediately with no problem. both kbd and touchpad working great. BONANZA!!!
time for lunch, so I'll comment back later about getting the IR keys working with the TV (or not, lol)

oh, the other IR keys at the top of the trackpad (the ones I'd mentioned are at the bottom) are:
I/O aka power, "A/T" (input?), MENU, M (??!?)
but s'posedly the thing can simply learn (as apposed to "programming" standard remote codes), so you have, like, a total of 9 buttons to assign any IR function you feel like.
we shall see, but for now, lunch.
yeah... long lunch.
so - the IR key programming is pretty easy, but as the tiny-printed tiny-manual sez, you really do have to get your remote right up next to the IR radiator on the kbd - a couple times the programming failed but I think it was just pilot error me not holding the remote close/aligned enough to the kbd. I managed to program on/off and volume and input - all working well enough now, and that's all I needed.
the IR keys are active / work, even if the main power / BT switch is set to OFF. which is unexpectedly sensible/clever.
