does anyone else have the problem of the OSK popping up all the time? I had Opera Mobil installed and when going to the imported PIE favorites it came up every time I scrolled through the list as each time a new favorite was selected the coursor bounced between the URL bar and the shortcut...
It was so annoying I had to stop using Opera as I found no way to stop it. It also does it in PIE but not near as much... it comes up automatically when I hit a text box ...same for SMS and email....
Any way to get this stopped?
nobody else having this problem?
I have now seen the issue on 3 Tilts... it is tied to the first time you use the on screen keyboard ... from that point forward everytime you hit a text box, it comes up. for SMS, email and MMS that is ok but when looking at bookmarks in Opera Mobile it is very annoying since it constantly pops up as one scrolls down through the list.
Anyone have an idea of where the OSK registry keys are?
solution found!
I contacted HTC via AT&T (ya I know I loose cool points for doing such a thing) but hey the support was excellent and they provided a workaround in about 10 minutes. It is not clear what is actually triggering this but the solution works as I verified it in SMS, Word and Opera Mobile.
Solution:
Go into Mobile Word, slide out the keyboard. this shoud make the OSK dissapear. hit the space bar one time and ok out of word. slide in the keyboard and test your applications for the OSK popping up every time you hit a text box....it no longer happens but the problem may return the next time you decide to actually use the OSK so repeat the process when necessary.
I have the same problem - I hate that every time a text box appears on anything, the OSK appears even when the keyboard is slid out. It's infuriating in Opera.
Your trick doesn't seem to work for me. When I run Word, the OSK doesn't seem to appear ever, even when the keyboard is closed.
I wish there were a reghack or something to ONLY show OSK when I hit the icon on the bottom.
I have similar problem in Opera Mobile. I'm using WM 6.1 and the similar problem was found with WM5 and 6 as well, so I think it is something to do with version of Opera Mobile. Mine is 9.0 build 331.
for what it's worth, ive had the same problem with WM 6.0 and 6.1 when using MyMobiler to display my phone on my computer screen (i switch between skyfire and PIE as my browser. never used opera mobile). if im going to be using the phone in 'tilt' mode for any amount of time (ie, like when it is plugged into my computer), i had to install null keyboard and use it as my primary OSK. not the best solution, but it will keep the OSK from popping up all the time.
I updraded to Opera Mobile 9.5 and it is okay now
Just like I feared.
Hi Guys
Im a total Newbie to XDA's... Just got the XDA Ignito, within minutes of reading some post on this site I followed the instructions and flashed my ROM, what a difference! o2's Rom is sh*te!!
Anyway just having a few problems that may be so simple for you guys but yet so annoying for me.
1. Contacts are displayed "Surname, Firstname" how can I change my contacts to display "Firstname, Surname" ??
2. When on the net via Opera, and go on a video site like metacafe... the videos do not display? do I need to install any plug ins? the built in youtube works fine.
3. I have installed tomtom, but when I make a phone call, then end the call tomtom appears.... Ive tested a phone call without it to my ear and this doesnt happen, I can only think that my ear is pressing start and selecting tomtom from the quick launch at the top.... anyway to stop this? without holding away from my ear
Any advice is most appreciated
Many Thanks
Adam
1 - i would like to know where that option is too, most my contacts i have manually told to display like that.
2 - Opera / all the mobile browsers i think (inc IE and safari) dont have a flash pluggin. So any web based movie sites using some flash video player wont work. Thus reason for standalone uTube app
3 - is tomtom the only app which has got launched, seems a bit odd if it's selecting only that app from the start menu. My phone's display goes into standy during phone calls, so buttons dont seem to get pressed. Also using Sensorlock too.
to 1.: When you edit an Contact (Outlook) at the 6th Position, there must be a line "Save as" - when you click on it, a Pull-Down appears, where you can choose the other appearence with swapped Surname and forename.
1 - in each contact, there is a field 'File as' where you can select whether to display last. first, or first, last. There's no option that i know of to do all of them simultaneously.
2 - Spot on about the flashplugin. Although i believe that flashlite 3 is supposed to work with FLV vidoes, but don't quote me on that....i don;t even know if it's been released for winmo yet.
3 - this should only happen if you have TomTom running in the background instead of totally shut down. when you've finished with TomTom, make sure you close it properly.
Thanks for all your responses.
In regards to the file as, i was refering to all my contacts on my sim card. Surely there is an option somewhere to change the view of contacts...??
Found out how to shut tomtom down properly, will test it shortly.
Thanks
There's a faster way to rearrange your contacts...
Here you go.
NoWorthWhile
Thanks for that, but unfortunately it didnt work... i put it in the storage, then run it from programs... selected the way i wanted them displayed, clicked change.. looks like its going to do it then nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thought I move the thread to here to see if I will get more help:
Have had the phone for a few weeks and learning lots. All of sudden yesterday when trying to make a calendar entry, the full QWERTY, compact QWERTY, and phone pad can no longer be used to enter text. It's stuck on numeric mode. Tapping the "abc" key on the bottom of the full QWERTY keyboard doesn't change anything. Can still use transcriber and full keyboard for now. BUt when switched to Note program, all entry methods work. Have not installed any new programs lately (besides a few games and new calculator). Have been using S2U2 and Diamond tweaks to help with a few other problems...Help please since this is now my primary calendar and runs my life so need to have this working again!!
I"m using the GSM version with the latest ROM version. The problem also seems to be "periodic" in the sense that everytime I change mode of text entry to something else and back to QWERTY, it lets me enter text, but the moment I change it to numerics, I can't go back unless I change mode of entry again.....Argh.....
I suffer from a similar problem sometimes. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't open at all. I can't type anything. Perhaps it's because of TouchPal, dunno. Gotta reboot the device then ...
Sorry for abusing your thread, but it's a similar problem.7
Have you performed a soft-reset? Did it change anything or have you been suffering from the same problem ... ? Actually a stupid question
Done a soft reset once, and didn't change anything. Like I said it has a mind of its own...when I change the mode of text entry to full keyboard, everything works perfectly so I've been defaulting to that...then when I change from full keyboard to QWERTY, it would bring back the alphabet screen..but the moment I tap the 123 button to change to numeric pad to enter something, I CANNOT go back....I'm unwilling to hard reset for a problem that I have a "work around" on .....hence the post to see if others have similar problem, and HOW THE HECK did it happen???
ya i'm also facing the same problem, but now my COMPACT QWERTY keyboard stopped working completely, it was only taking no's, please suggest solution for this
Thanks in advance
same problem here. a complete reset to factory defaults was the only solution to that problem.
full querty worked normally, but without T9.
compact and phone pad numbers only, equal if i selected ABC or 123. Symbols worked normally

What you need to do with it:
1. Extract android 20100430.7z on your computer.
2. Copy all files and directories to the root of your sd-card. Do not create any directory, just copy them to the blank sd-card.
3.On the X1 open the sd-card and run haret.exe. You will get alot text running across the screen.

Android (Xperoid) is allmost at the stage to be stable enough to use day in day out!
Not everything is working, like camera, headphones (or) WiFi, but it doesn't bother me that mutch.
I can call, text and use the internet so i`m fine
The few things i've encountered and tried to solve (most answers came from this topic)
- WiFi
If you want to use WiFi, use the kernel of the previous version (you can't use headphones anymore, but I prefer WiFi above that), also turn on WiFi in Windows Mobile before you hit HaReT.exe
Kernel can be downloaded here:

- GPS
Turn off GPS in Android (Experoid) else you will get pwnd by the phone, becouse it will freeze in like 5-10 minutes.

To send messages, go to your Windows Mobile and change some settings (if you want to know how read this topic, it's in here).
EDIT it's even here!

I'm using SEX1 as my WinMo OS, you can change your SMSC by going to Comm Manager >> Settings >> Phone >> Services >> Voice Mail and Text Messages and change the "+" sign to "00". I'm on Maxis Malaysia, so mine would read 0060120000015 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************0060120000015******end_of_the_skype_highlighting begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************0060120000015******end_of_the_skype_highlighting begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************0060120000015******end_of_the_skype_highlighting. Once that is done, just run haret.exe and you are good to go.
- GPRS Data Connections
If you want to use your data connections from your operator, you need to fill them in manually.

Some problems I've ran into that I don't know how to fix:
- Screen never turns off, it just turns black, but it's still on.
- Market fails sometimes, you have internet connection, but market gives you errors
I've encountered more problems but atm I don't remember so they weren't huge fails I guess
I`m not trying to be like "This sucks and that sucks" just trying to help improvement.
I hope I've helped out a bit, btw a tip:
put like a FAQ in the first message, so you don't get 25 posts like "My WiFi aint workin' HELP MEEEH!"

Nice work Sanjay, i lost all hope with Fatsal's lost mobile
is there a way of running this from the Phone memory and not from SD? do you think it will going to enhance the speed?
no u can only run dis from sd card
it is not a complete replacement for wm as u can not use camera , gps , and key mapping is also not proper
Just downloaded the file from Hotfile and it says it does not contain archives...
Am now downloading from Mediafire. will take some time.
Sanjay, thanks for sharing btw !!!
Mediafire one works with unpacking ! Took more than an hour to download :-(
how this could be try the mediafire one
is this the same android system? but just with the updated kernel?
or have you changed/upgraded something in android as well?
Thanks Sanjayecb. It works great. Sound and wifi are both working. It's also quite fast. I think it beats Winmo 6.5.3 at speed.
Downloading it right know
Thnx if it works fine I will make a donation
Appreciate your nice work.
Does this release fix the problem that backlight can't turned off?
so whats the difference with this release than the latest kernel release where speaker and wifi already working
Is there a way to add default android keyboard? I very much prefer it over HTC one that this distro sports.
no difference as such i just helped the dummies.
Do you mean the keyboard? HTC lacks few characters, some of which important - like ` for example. This is why I don't like HTC one
thanks for your hard work:i'm downloading it
but what's the new in it?
no i was talking about the hw keyboard
the keymapping is not proper in android
very nice work...
hi sanjayecb,

fatsal

I have downloaded and run Remix OS Player on two different computers now and neither one of them has captured my hardware keyboard, I can use the onscreen keyboard but that really lessens the functionality and is half the point of having it run on a desktop. Can anyone advise as to how to resolve this issue? The options, advanced options, and the OS options are so dummy proofed it is impossible to do anything advanced. Is there config files I can edit or...?
I had this happen once right after installation and running the Google Play Store activator and couldn't login in to the Play Store because I couldn't type on the physical keyboard. I shutdown the player, restarted it, and then the problem went away. Might work for you.
Hi.
I have this too, regardless if I restart or not. I actually can't figure out what I have to change in language and imput options to have my keyboard back. The only thing I can do is using the virtual keyboard. I think this happened when I changed the language to french, or tried the virtual keyboard for the first time before then deactivating it. Since I can't find a reset config to default, I'm going to reinstall.
If anyone have a guess how getting my azerty hardware keyboard back, could he please explain ? I find the way the multiple language/imput options are displayed isn't very clear and whatever I do it doesn't work. I'm visibly not alone since this thread is already open, and it may be useful.
Edit : looks like the config files are not in the remix folder. After new installation in different folder, it's directly the same with the new separated machine.

There never was any actual ability to use the physical keyboard even though the settings say it's present. No amount of fiddling with the unintuitive settings seems to correct the problem. My keyboard is a Saitek Eclipse USB keyboard on Windows 7 x64. I imagine this must be a limitation of the emulator or some basic setting. The two systems I have run this on are very similar setups with the exception that the other one uses a PS2 mouse and keyboard. Shortcuts like CTRL + ALT to unbind keyboard and mouse function normally so why not typing inside the emulator?

I don't understand. Are you saying you have never been able to use your computer's keyboard ? Well sorry, you already said it sooner too. I didn't read it was the same person.
The thing is I could use it till two days ago, and I'm not the only one. I could type the physical keyboard at first start of the player without doing anything, it was default. Then probably messed up with the options I touched and can't have it back. RemixOS live or hardware installed have the keyboard detected and used as default. So does the player (except maybe you but it must just be that your keyboard isn't recognized or I don't know what.
Detection and options problem here. No lack in feature like I understand you are thinking.
I am saying that there has been not one moment I could use my computer's physical keyboard in Remix OS player, not for the very first initial run nor extracting it to a different folder, it works just fine on both computers for Windows use though. I am using the PS2 keyboard as I type this... I wouldn't think it would be difficult for the player to bind to a generic Human Interface Device or a USB keyboard... Both Mice work just fine so I figure it's just a bad config file or something. Hopefully someone figures it out soon as it's annoying to say the least.
Since I had it then lost it. Could one user or more, whose physical keyboard works since the beginning and who never changed anything to default config, screen all his/their language/keyboard relater configs please ? This may do.
Guess they don't care... oh well... Nox it is.
If this can help some people forced to use virtual keyboard too. After looking for a suitable virtual keyboard, I ended using Minuum Keyboard and Hacker's Keyboard app. The first takes the less place possible, and the 2nd looks like it has the better ratio between space used and easy access to all keys (it's sort of computer keyboard replica) ... waiting for this issue resolve if it is resolved a day, this will sorta do the trick ... But the problem really sucks.
@Saiber77 @dzeek @Esdeve - Sorry to be late with this reply. I did share your issue with our product manager and he's been working on a fix with the developer team. We believe we've isolated the issue to the Gaming toolkit causing some incompatibilities with certain hardware drivers and configurations. We're still in the middle of working on it but I'll definitely update when there's news.
@Saiber77 - And, we always read and care... just somewhat short on resources and we just finished a week-long public holiday here.
Thanks!

I just installed Remix Player on my Intel NUC and find that my keyboard is not recognized at all. I have a Corsair K70 keyboard that besides being an incredible mechanical keyboard works otherwise great under Windows 10. Hopefully Jide can provide a solution.
Wow, public holidays, devs know what it is and have that too ?
Whatever. I run on a laptop, but if you need info about hardware I'll give. Thought it's already done in the hardware thread. Sorry not being able to remember exactly since what action from me the keyboard stopped being recognized (and I don't think I tried the gaming toolkit, if I'm right about it being the d pad we can see on the right).
Hello. New user here.
This might seem weird but I also had the trouble of not being able to type anything inside the player (was trying to login to the Play Store but couldn't type in my email address). I can use the CTRL+ALT keys to get the pointer out and I see the pinch? option when I hold down the CTRL key. But when I installed the terminal/command window app, the keyboard began working inside the player (weird right?)

Since update said "Fixed keyboard input issue when key-mapping is activated"
Just to notify. It's not solved : still no keyboard.
Windows 10
Microsoft K830 Keyboard
I just found this OS; but like others crtl+alt is working, but nothing else. Hope it can be resolved so I can use the keyboard to play games
how can i enable virtual keyboard?
yea the keyboard outside American is pretty bad,my French keyboard here is not supported very well,but the player is still in early beta stage so can't complain here.there are better emulator .
The dev team has been alerted to this thread and the issues being expressed here. I'll update when there are either fixes, or if there's something you guys could help us with to solve these keyboard issues.
As for holidays, our devs work at least through Saturdays and some work Sundays as well. However, for state appointed holidays, it's illegal to order staff to work, so it's entirely up to the staff.
Thanks again!

i used to have the same problem, but i get to fix it making this:
- Open Remix Player
- Go to the last button on the white bar on the right side of the screen emulator (3-dot button)
- On the new pop-up screen, go to settings, and change the keyboard shortcuts option to Emulator Device ( default)
- Go and check if Remix Player can recognize Keyboard Input, if not, go back and change again the keyboard shortcuts option to Virtual Device and check if now Remix Player recognize Keyboard Input.
I hope that this steps can solve the problem for everyone.
psd: I don't know if it's needed to do this every time the emulator runs, if the keyboard is not working each time the emulator starts, then i assume that its have to be done this if you want to get to work your keyboard.
If you have the issue, can please try @starfoxcom 's solution?
We think this could be possibly fix the issue. We are trying to fix this issue fundamentally.
