My End key (the red button) stops working. Does anyone know how to change the key mapping so that I can use a different button (let say the back button) as the END/Stop button. The phone is working fine however, I can't end the conversation because the button is not working. It's driving me nut. Please help. Thanks

AE Button plus will do it. You can set it to any key you want, with single, double, or triple press, or even a long press. It cost 7.99, but much cheaper than a phone.
maybe I need to go this route. Thanks
Does anyone know which button is which number? Like to change the wheel into a volume control is it key 6?
I'm an idiot... not in the kaiser forum... damn search lol
So ive got an Excalibur with NRG's 6.5 build ROM installed
96DPI installed.
ET9 English installed in case it wasnt already.
But the whole time, I can't get functionality out of my Send (Green Phone) Key or my Home key. Now, i thought the keys might have gone out on the phone cuz theyre in the same area and maybe something happend. But... i tried to see if i get any response when pressing these keys through re-keying in buttons for PocketNester Controls. It DID recognize immediately when i pressed both the send key and the home key each. So i know the keys have contact/response, whatever. But I scroll to a contact and hit SEND... nothing. Hit the HOME key at any time and it doesn't send me anywhere.
Any suggestions? I have another dash that is broken and i dissected it a while ago and have some parts if need to swap or check anything, that is possible... but where to start troubleshooting from here?
Thanks for any light you can shed on my issue!!
try flashing to a new rom like ookba's 6.5 and see if you still have the problem, if so change the keyboard pcb
Hi, I have a Rhodium with a strange keyboard layout. In the lower left corner ist the yellow FN key. Some other keys have additional yelloy sign, e.g. "N" has "\", "M" has "/" and so on. To my understanding I need to press the FN key first followed by the N key to get the \. This doesn't work. Pressing the FN key doesn't light the LED (the LED for the Shift key works OK) so I believed the FN key might be damaged. Now I found that pressing FN + H works like Backspace and FN + Y deletes the whole line. So FN is working but it does something I don't understand. Does anyboday have an idea how to fix that? I looked into the et9 files in the Windows folder but that didn't help me.
Regards, Michael
I assume you have custom rom on your phone... if so you might need to install a fix. do a search for hardware keyboard fix. sounds like you have the t-mobile version?
From time to time the physical keyboard stops responding. None of the buttons work, not even the search, menu, home, and back buttons. The touch buttons do work. The only way I have found to fix is to reboot the phone.
I have exactly the same problem from time to time. Normally after unlocking the phone. It seems if I leave it for a while (locked) it does start working again, but a reboot does fix it always.
okay, my keyboard is still functioning, but I choose to post here instead of making a new thread for my concern is also keyboard based.
Does everyone have uses the ALT key for entering numbers consecutively? I also do but quite a pain because unlike the SHIFT key, when I press it twice, it toggles CAPS LOCK, my ALT key does not toggle 2nf functions (blue keys) only when I double press. Is this normal? should I type fast to be able to get 2nd functions consecutively? thanks

My alt key enters a blue key on the first press(one time), double pressing the alt key toggles blue keys instead of regular keys.
On my phone pressing Alt twice locks it and you can tell because the cursor changes. There are a couple of combinations. You can Alt lock and Shift lock at the same time. Again the cursor changes to show this.
Mine doesn't. I see the cursor change, but if i press a key or two, it will turn off the toggle....geeze and it's not defenitely a hw issue...
But if i toggle the alt key, i can type blue characters but i need to be fast..
EDIT: I think I have solved the issue now....I replaced my onscreen/virtual keyboard by the default one.....and now I can type 1234567890 without pain....I installed a 3rd party keyboard and think that triggers the issue. If someone could replicate, that will be appreciated. Thanks for everything.
I have found a few things with my keyboard and wanted to know if they worked for other people. The 1key on my keyboard is also a power key so when I press Fn+1 the Fire TV actually fades to black like its gonna power off, but never actually does. The light even fades off when I do this. Also if I press Fn+ENTER it instantly reboots, which is nice, cause I do not have to hold down the remote buttons for five seconds to reboot. Fn+9 takes you instantly to the top page and Fn+0 takes you to the bottom, whick is good for browsing. The Fn+9 and Fn+0 do not work on the main screen, but does work on certain sections of the default launcher like managing apps, Fn+0 will instantly take you to the bottom of the list. I actually meant to write this a couple months ago, but somehow forgot so hopefully this isn't old news. The Fn+1 was the real interesting thing, cause maybe we can find a way to actually power down the Fire TV. Plus maybe we can find a way to maybe put a floating circle or something onscreen that when pressed does the same as pressing Fn+ENTER so we can reboot from onscreen.
Fn is just another modifier key like SHIFT, ALT or CTRL used for smaller keyboards to realize a full keyboard layout with less buttons. In fact on regular keyboards those Fn button kombinations are done with just one single key. The only difference to other modifier keys is that the FN+key combinations do also depend on the keyboard model and are not standardized. For e.g. your Fn+1 combination is just mapped to keyevent KEYCODE_POWER which is done on regular (multimedia) keyboards with the (single) power key. So nothing new here.
Actually until now there is no way known to simulate a keystroke on the FireTV via app without root. I little more detailed explanation why this is restricted can be found in this topic.
