the easiest thing you can do is change the button config within WMP.

- Open WMP

- Go to view the player (not the library) by either playing a song or by hitting OK

- Hit Menu > Options > Buttons

- Scroll all the way down and select "Toggle Screen"

Now this is where you have to decide what button you want to use to turn the screen on and off, personally, I picked the center button (the optical joystick button) as my on and off screen, which is currently the Play/Pause button. For these instructions, I will use that button as the example.

- Hit the "Assing" button and hit the middle (optical joystick) button.

- Hit OK

Now you can turn the screen on/off (by hitting that button) while still being able to increase/decrease the player's volume, change tracks back or forward, and if you do a long press then you can fast forward or rewind the track. :)

Hope this is what you were looking for...

Hope this helps

Would this thing work on Touch HD? Anyone have any idea? I've been googling all afternoon, but no one seems to mention anything about this neat keyboard pairing with XDA devices.
[Touch HD Accessories] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
I think it wont -- in the link you provided its said and showed that theres a usb receiver and it works in 2400ghz frequency--- basically the keyboard comunicates only with the usb thingy, that came with the keyboard!!!

NO IT WONT!!

except only if you make it bluetooth keyboard!!! :D

[Touch HD Accessories] funk1980:
This is what you want! :D

http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/8193/
[Touch HD Accessories] Rozenthal:
Nah, actually I'm aware of that thingy, but that's not what I want. I want a hardware keyboard I can use in my hands or in my lap. This one requires a flat surface to work and that's not an option since I need to be able to use the keyboard in the car / plane / train / ferryboat etc. So I have excluded pretty much all foldable keyboards because they can't be used that way.

I also saw the Logitech diNovo mini keyboard, which looks awesome, but is just so damn expensive I figured I first try to find some kind of alternative. There are a few mini wireless keyboards available out there, but only Logitech and this Super Tiny have illuminated keys (also a must have for me) and can be used without flat surface.

Guess I'll have to go for Logitech then :(
[Touch HD Accessories] degake:
You could try by using the veripart 3-in-1 converter, which will give you a USB-port, so you can stick the transmitter onto it...

But I don't know how to get the drivers onto your device then....

Grtz,

[Touch HD Accessories] Rozenthal:
Yeah, me too, but I'm still undecided. Mostly because the reviews I read weren't that great as I expected.

To be honest, if I'm going to pay 150 euros for a plastic keyboard, then I expect it will be fantastic, and judging by what I read, it's just not so great as one would think.

I own a lot of Logitech devices and have been using their keyboards / mices for years. I never regret paying top money for those gadgets, but I'm just not sure about this little thing. Unfortunately, none of the available reviews tested this keyboard as an attachment to PDA device - most were oriented to Windows Vista tv application / web browsing. So, I'll wait for someone here on the forums to get it and report :)

I'm very interested in it's functioning with HD. Can you test it in SMS / Opera / Word? See if there's a way for the soft keys to be controled via keyboard.

Bt Keyboard pairs but no response from keypresses

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me with this as I am rather stuck.

I got this keyboard http://www.iconuk.co.uk/Keyboards--Mice-&-Tablets/Bluetooth-Keyboards/Keysonic-Mini-Blutooth-Wireless-Keyboard-KB-ACK-595BT/p-1583-621-1758-4106/ - Keysonic KB-ACK-595BT.

So far I have only got it to work twice with the touch HD, where it connected and was quite happy typing and controlling windows mobile (typed a whole document quite happily). However, the 2nd time it took several attempts before it would work and now I can't seem to do it again.

As far as I can tell the keyboard is fine (connects to windowsXP without issue) but after paring with the Phone (which it accepts) there is no response from the key presses.

I've tried all sorts to get it to work, but no utility or attempts to change the stack or Soft/Hard resets seems to help. I've even upgraded the radio to 1.12.25.16 but made no difference. I think this must be a WM6.1 issue with BT paring but I'm out of idea on how to fix it.

It is driving me nuts though, since it worked twice so why doesn't it now? Can't find anyone else who has had a similar problem so stuck for ideas on what to try next.

Thanks in advance.

Tim.
[Touch HD Accessories] Rozenthal:
Yeah, just as I suspected... That's a major minus for me, to be honest.

But I vaguely remember reading something about some 3rd party app that could in fact map key combinations from hardware BT keyboard to soft keys.

Come to think of it, doesn't diNovo mini have function keys that can be assigned to stuff like this?
[Touch HD Accessories] Rozenthal:
Hm, strange problem indeed. However, since you say you did manage to get it to work and it functioned normally, I would say it's probably a software problem.

Why don't you try to pull out the batteries from the keyboard, and also in your device remove the KBD from bluetooth devices and make the pairing process from scratch.

I've had similar problems pairing up with my laptop, and this worked for me.
[Touch HD Accessories] meltwater:
Yep I tried that several times but it didn't help.

Strangely the BlueInput (unfortunately only free to try) software seems to get the keyboard to connect after being paired. I am guessing WM6.1 doesn't allow enough time or drops the connection too quickly following the pairing and I just got lucky. Can't quite work out what BlueInput does differently though...

Thanks for the suggestion though.

[General Questions and Answers] djrakun:
Hi all,

Can anyone confirm that the Kaiser can fully utilize 3g data on the TMobile US 3g network? I have seen several (old) articles that pre-date the release of the Kaiser saying it may be the 'first 3g windows mobile phone available'. I have the opportunity to get an AT&T tilt from someone I know, but before I go through the process of unlocking the sim and flashing the ROM I'd like to know if it is worth my while. I've been waiting for the pharos traveler 137 to be released for a few months now but I know that Tmobile has no interest in carrying it ( I talked to a few service reps, and they just play dumb and say they've never heard of pharos or a 3g capable WM phone). So without the plan upgrade discount the phone is going to be $600, all for the luxury of using the 3g network on a phone that actually supports msexchange email.

between aardvark ( company developing ms direct push app for android), the pharos smartphone, and getting info on this TyTn II i feel like I've been doing a whole lot of waiting for a phone that has what I feel are two very basic features nowadays on other networks

Comments appreciated,

I have my city is already selected and working fine. But When I need to add a new locations no more possible..

[G1 General] mariod1269:
open the app "droidsans tweak tools" and there's a button to disable auto-rotate.
[G1 General] Dreddge:
I don't see that app... What am I missing?

I know im not crazy. Just a n00b
[G1 General] skri11a:
Are you talking about auto-rotate in the browser or for the home screen?

If it's the browser, you can disable it the browser settings. If it's the home screen, you need to search the market for DroidSans Tweak tools and disable it there.

At some point, you must have un-installed DST if your home screen is auto-rotating.
[G1 General] Dreddge:
I bet thats what it is. The guy I bought the phone from did a wipe, and all the apps were lost, but the firmware was still on there.

Is anyone else getting error messages when waking the phone back up? I would occasionally (1 out of 20 times) get an "application 'so-and-so' has stopped responding" and tapping "wait" would continue through the error like nothing else was wrong. As soon as I shut auto-rotate off, those errors went away. It was always a different program, too.
[G1 General] borodin1:
Happens to me every now and then, not as often though, may be once out of 50 times. See what program it is, if it's one from the market then you can remove it ( I would, I don't need anything on my phone that doesn't run correctly or hogs my precious memory). If it's stock... well.. you're SOL, just wait for Android to implement some better way of managing memory.

Good luck
[G1 General] jcostantino:
I've noticed on occasion I also get it with auto-rotate disabled, but not nearly as often. Maybe a couple times so far since I've gotten my replacement last week.

When it would hang, it was pretty much any random process. One time it was Alarm, other times something else, never a particular process. I think it has to do with the phone sleeping and maybe the accelerometer is oriented one way and it wakes up for an event in another position and then hangs - I don't know. It was never really a problem and I don't think the hung processes were wasting battery so I'll just reenable it.

I sent this e-mail to the people at PureRss

Hi Matthew,

Clicking on the link you supplied leads to a login page rather than an XML feed, so presumably this is the problem. PureRSS does support HTTP Digest Authentication, so if Google accepts this form of login on the feed then you may be able to get it to work that way.

Thanks,

You can go to settings - Labels and there you can select which labels should be auto-synced
[G1 Apps and Games] kindredcharles:
Yes they are auto synced but there is no notifications for e-mails that skip the inbox. I have to open gmail app and go to view labels to see if I have new messages under these labels.
[G1 Apps and Games] acidnine:
Suggestion 1: If you can find out how to sync only that label using IMAP, then create a standard email account connection using that info.

Suggestion 2: Whatever filter you have set up, have it also forward to a new email address through gmail, and then add that inbox to the email client. username.labelname@gmail.com

Suggestion 3: Something that has been covered: http://lifehacker.com/software/gmail-tips/get-rss-feeds-from-your-gmail-labels-157701.php and then just finding an app that supports the authenticated feed, which a run through the app market leaves me empty on solutions for that.

Temp: You can also add a shortcut to the desktop that links directly to a label.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3it3r:
Essentially, I'd like to get even more buttons. With the capacitive screen, we have the 4 hardware buttons for Home, Green & Red and the hybrid back/ok button. There's the 4 directional 'hidden' buttons and of course, the center select buttons.

When you count the scroll/zoom surface, that's 9.

THEN, add in butler and you get 4 more via swipe actions.

I'd like to see a double tap application - or possible extension to butler?

So if you double tap the Home, send, end or back buttons (not press - TAP) you can assign a link or application to them.

Also, is the center button also capacitive? put your finger on it and lights for the other buttons will come on... If so, can we turn it into a 'mouseball' of sorts?

Anyone else see a use for something like this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dipje:
GScroll has that.

You can assign programs to launch when you double tap one of the four button locations.

And it can emulate cursor keys left/right/up/down by swiping part of the capacitive area.

And it has a task switcher that activates on a certain capacitive-motion but I can't figure it out how to make it work ok :).

The app is 5 bucks from Mobihand, and get the latest beta from their own forum.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3it3r:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] noellenchris:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3it3r:
OK, so is there any app that uses the center button like a sort of 'rollerball' type input? It could even work like the 'nubs' on the old Toshiba, IBM & Lenovo laptops
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] noellenchris:
I haven't seen an APP for that, but the last beta of GScroll has a mouse pointer activated by the center button and is controlled by touching anywhere on any of the capacitive pads. I don't use is much though. Otherwise it' a great idea, just not sure it would work that well. Who knows?

for info on changing what pressure you need to register a touch. i found that helped.

re tiny buttons ... the two main things i did to make mine more finger friendly (i hate having to use stylus on something called Touch) are

- install RandomAccess.exe ... the Contacts app from Touch Dual ... much better than the (awful) one that came on early Elfs (if yours is recent, it may have this anyway)

- install better keyboards. there's lots about, user preference dictates which is best. i've currently got Gullum's Diamond keyboard which is nice.
[Touch GSM General] freaksey:
yeah yeah i know :> i have this already on 80866... i just want to know if this problem with "whole thumb pressing" exsits only for me. the sensebility is already awesome, the only prob is that everything just works when i touch the screen with my nail and not when i do this with my thumb.
[Touch GSM General] Lokosis:
That would probably because your nail is recognized by the screen at the distinct location it is hitting it and the phone knows what you want to click on, but your fat fingers may hit a few different 'touch' areas and the phone is unsure which of those was to be accessed so it ignores the entry.... my only presumption.
[Touch GSM General] hotrod101:
You guys are right. I never noticed before that using the pad of my thumb or even finger does not work very well. I also out of habbit use my finger nail. I implemented the sensitivity tweaks about 6 months ago and noticed a dramatic improvement with the amount of pressure I had to implement to use my device but it still works best using finger nail rather than the pads of your fingers or thumbs. I have to make several attempts using much more pressure to use the pads of my fingers or thumbs. It's too bad really but not that big of a hassle now since I am use to using my finger and thumb nails and with the sensitivity tweaks it works really well.
