Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if any has this issue?
Ive got a HTC Branded TyTN and I've installed various ROMs on the phone, included the standard rom. The buttons on the front of the phone seem to stop responding after 5 inputs.
For example, I activate the start menu with the Windows Button. I use the D-Pad to scroll down the list, i press it 4 times, the keys stop responding.
The slide out keyboard works fine.
Whats weird is, if i press the Ok button below the track wheel twice, I can then press the front face buttons 5 more times.
Any suggestions. I've done hardresets, Rom updates, im leaning toward a hardware issue. i'd like your input though.
Thanks

Hi,
I have the cheapest bluetooth mouse and keyboard going, so I'm not sure whats available in the high end. However I have notice that when navigating the SGS3 with a mouse I can not access any of the bottom buttons (menu, home, back). With the keyboard it is a bit easier since I can use the Esc key to control the back button. I'm not to worried about getting the home button, but I think it would be good to have access the menu button (bottom left). Sometimes I use a credit card stand and I'm a bit worried about knocking it over when I press the menu button.
Anyone know how to create a software version of the menu button? Or even better, does anyone know a keyboard or mouse trick to toggle it?
Cheers,
Stui
I found an App that will solve the problem

Ok, I went hunting around the Play Store and found 'External Keyboard Helper Pro' which enables the user to map whatever keyboard value to whatever Android function they want (and more). I was able to map the Home and Menu buttons to unused keys on the Bluetooth keyboard. I also discovered that Alt Tab switches tasks (but you have to touch or click the screen to stay on the task switch screen).
hope this helps anyone who is at this stage of PCing up their SGS3.
Sure helps. thanks mate.
I wish the same mapping can be done for the mouse, as most of the time i would use the mouse to navigate back and forth into and out of menus, currently i cant find a mouse that has a menu button and a home button.
If you click and hold you get the menu for an item, but not the main app menu.
Hi, by self-trying I've also discovered the following keys that work without any external software:
CTRL+ESC = Menu key
ALT+ESC = Home key
ALT+TAB = Task manager (briefly hit the two keys, then use arrows to select the app)
So, although after a year, you get your answer! :good:

Scroll wheel click is the Home button and right click is the back button. I can't find a way to do the Recents button, though.

Awesome. I had been searching for this for quite some time.
Is there a way to make the right click act as a long click instead? I have having to long click when you have a button performing functions that could be done in an easier fashion. Meanwhile, a true right click feature would be amazing.

All of the above is correct. Also, Mouse Button 4 (which normally maps to "Back" in the Browser) opens the recently opened programs view.
Hi All,
My unit is the 7" double din with the captive touch buttons on the left (Power, Back, Vol up & Vol down).
I was going through the factory settings and played with the touch calibration settings. I was attempting to remap my power button to something else, but all I have managed to do is remove all mapping for these 4 buttons.
When I go in to the section to re-map these, pressing the buttons has no effect.
I saw a couple of videos where after re-calibrating the touch screen (top left then top right) the mapping page for these buttons comes up, this doesn't happen on mine (maybe because Android 8?)
Can someone please let me know what I have to do to get these buttons back to how they were?
Cheers,
Kris

Maybe I was getting that second screen and just going straight to "save exit".
It was very late by the time I got to this point. I'll try again soon and report back.
Thanks.
The above worked. Thanks again.
Hi,
i have flashed LIneageOS 16 on my new oneplus 5t, but the middle gardware buttons isn't working. The other buttons are working. Now i have three touch buttons on the button of the screen, the middle is for "home". But they are useless, i can have the same functions with the hardware buttons without wasting space on my touchscreen. I think this is a problem with android pie, i read something about that somewhere. There are so settings to enable hardware buttons or change the function of the middle buttons. Also remapping the button with third party apps don't work, they can't find the button.
Is there something that i can do? Before i had the Oneplus 3 with LineageOS 15. The device has nearly the same design, the middle hardware button worked without problems.
Idk waht, but if what - ask me the questions here about the problem - I need it to be solved. If you didn't understood me - also ask them..
Well, here is the problem exactly: I got mouse and keyboard. Both are connected to my Android device.
They're setup just like I need, but..
When i click the mouse while any keyboard key is pressed - keyboard key pressing signal interrupts (at least the action it should lead to is getting stopped),
and the same vise-versa (when I pressing any keyboard key while mouse button is pressed - mouse pressing button action interrupts, and only then the keyboard starts to do it's things).
So: how to make them work together? (Both in my case are should lead to emulating the touches on the screen directly)
