Hi, I recently bougth a Samsung i780 (italian unbranded), I would like to use the volume buttons as scroller, I tried both Aebutton and Smartkeys and both are working almost fine.
Almost...
With both the utility the smartphone hangs whenever I launch the camera app, no matter if I use a program shortcut or the HW button, no matter if the default camera HWbutton is enabled or not.
Any other user faced this problem ?
Any workaround found ?
Any other sw I can use ?
Thanks in advance.
hi. I have had EXACTLY the same problem as I have tried to do exactly what you have done with the volume buttons. sometimes it works and sometimes not. . (actually I couldn't figure out what was making the camera hang - u think its aebutton: could be...). the i780 is a great device, basically my tytn ii but faster. slimmer and a far better form factor. mouse ideas is novel but it does miss the directional arrow buttons.
anyway. I haven't figured out a fix yet, just wanted to show my support for your post!
Yep !
Exactly the same here ! Hope I will find a software that works !
Thanks for your interest, i hope some more skilled user(s) can help us to solve the problem.
In the meantime I'm go to ask some help to Alexander Eltsin (the author of AeBUTTON PLUS), but I'm afraid that the response will be the same as when I asked about the the treo 750 problem (no device in my hand, not a lot I can do).
on my treo 650 and 680 i could assign a shortcut to ANY key on my keyboard (long pusdh). Anyone know which software can do this?
PQZ II, a freeware, can remap buttons, works on volume and the camera button as ok, and the camera keeps on working!! plus you can get more then one set of remapping using assigned alt and ctrl keys, really nice app, although buttons plus double, tripple press is great.
Also is there a solution to the mouse button not doing a long press to the "right click" menu like the regular dpad middle button or stylus long press? it's really annoying samsung not adding that, there are no direction keys so by default you cant even use the soft menu button because once you make a file it is executed.... nm PQZ solves this with the volume button, plus the annoying problem that the volume button works while device locked in pocket is also solved by this.
could you explain if its possible to remap the volume keys, using them has scroll???

can you show us how to configure it to remap volume keys to up/down?
Tested multiple version of PQz - it works and seem to be really powerful - unfortunately it is not able to catch the volume up/down on the I780. Any other key is recognized except volume up/down....
Ok managed to make it work (basically I've missed the flag to enable use of volume buttons).
I can confirm it works and doesn't broke the camera button!!
thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
The 0.0.8c version did not work but the 0.0.8 works very well on the i780 !!
It seems to be a very good software, with many possibilities (like AE button plus, perhaps with even more options) and it seems to take less memory
Very good, very cool.
Tks to sevet for your link ;
Regards
anyone experience many crash of PqzII?

Configure the apps (you can launch PQzII_Setup in the installation folder):
- flag "enalbe volume key convert" in the Window section
- in the Code section flag "use this section" and add a mapping IN= VOL-U => OUT=UP, IN=VOL-D => OUT=DOWN
PQZ II is not working at all on my device! The only thing I get is a little white square wich opens in front on my device...
Anyone who has a clue how to fix this?
just read the docs....
you have to tap on the square until a menu popup

There are none. You just use the optical trackpad instead.
Thanks for the prompt reply, but I am very clumsy and wonder if there is a keyboard out there I could load to get cursor keys back?
All the best,
Sam.
Use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608
You can map the volume button to move cursor
smarter keyboard pro allows you to have the keyboard arrows
in fact it's so good that when using the normal keyboard, you can just swipe in an direction to have the arrow keys displayed
also provides you with the stock android keyboard
would recommend
Hi,
Is there anyway to customize it to launch an application simaler to how cyanagon settings allow you to launch a program by holding down home?
At the moment it lauches/closes the keyboard which in my opinion in pointless when you have the htc_ime keyboard. Would this be a difficult thing to change?
Hey all,
I recently acquired the Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard and Trackpad on Amazon, and it works wonderfully as an input device for my phone - an HTC One X running CyanogenMod 10.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006291K7A/ref=mp_s_a_1?pi=SL75&qid=1348778343&sr=8-1
However, not all of the features work exactly as billed, and the keyboard says they are exclusive to Motorola phones - such as two-finger scrolling on the trackpad, and pinch-to-zoom in images. Also, weirdly, the menu button on the keyboard doesn't work, and there's no way to turn off tap to click.
Despite this laundry list the keyboard is serving me quite well, but I'm still curious - is there any app or flashable zip that I can use to restore the missing features to this keyboard? Surely there's no inherent reason why these things are Motorola-exclusive.
Any comments? Thanks in advance guys.
I've just bought something similar, the motorola bluetooth keyboard and mouse set for motorola Atrix. My keyboard is like yours, apart for the trackpad of course. I use it on my HTC One S and works pretty well but, as you noticed too, the menu key (the 3 horizontal parallel lines key) doesn't work, nor the mute key for me.
At first I thought those keys were nothing but a combination of search button plus a letter (like the other shortcut keys) but I've tried with every combination to no avail...
Maybe the non working features are not natively supported by android and were specifically implemented by motorola in their software?

I dunno. I wonder if any developers of Motorola ROMs can help us out...
Got my Gemini on Saturday and just working my way around it.
Was looking at shortcuts for the Gemini Keyboard and found the documentation, however all shortcuts are a combination of a key labelled ? (magnifying glass) plus another key.
For the life of me I cannot find the key that is supposed to be the magnifying glass.
Anyone know which key this is supposed to be
Thanks in advance

I think those docs are for generic android with a keyboard; google has been pushing putting a "search" key directly onto keyboards.
The gemini shortcuts are mostly the "Fn" key plus another, which should be labelled. e.g. on mine (UK kbd):
ESC: "back" key, or hold down for "Power"
Fn+ESC: "power"
Fn+D: Android "home" key (desktop, not to be confused with traditional editing "home" key)
Fn+A: Android "recent" key (App switcher)
Alt+Tab: App switcher (standard android binding)
Fn+C: Volume down
Fn+V: Volume up
Fn+B: Brightness down
Fn+N: Brightness up
Fn+Alt: Phone app
Fn+Del: Settings
Fn+T: Mute microphone
Fn+R: Screenshot
etc.
Hope I am not hijacking this thread, but continued question about Fn usage
How does one get all the "strange" characters from the keyboard?
By strange, I mean stuff like "{}[]`/" and similar ones.
From the keyboard looks (symbols imprinted at the bottom of the key) I assumed its a combo of Fn+symbol, but it doesn't work.
I am using US keyboard layout and set to use Gemini keyboard as input method.

Did you figure this out? I'm trying to find that out now too.
It is [Fn] +'/ ' to bring up the symbols keyboard and you can select them from there. {}[]℅™®©¥¢√π∆~ etc...
Function key

When you use the Gemini Keyboard app to configure the Gemini US English layout there is actually one more step it seems. Once you've gone through the setup you should receive a notification to configure your keyboard. Select this and select the Gemini keyboard and you will be good to go. I ignored the notification for a while, believing it was prompting me to go through the setup process again but that was not the case.
Hope this helps.
