Rebooting from a keyboard - Off-topic

Hello to one and all,
I have not long found out that I can reboot my Hannspree tablet using my Bleutooth keyboard using the old DOS/Windos9x style CTRL+ALT+DEL
This was whilst I was using a version of Limbo to set up a dos/windows hard drive via the dos command FDISK, after setting the drive up the program says that you need to reboot the computer in order to use the new partition. So I did the CTRL+ALT+DEL bit and was amazed to find out that my tablet rebooted instead cool huh. don't know if it will work for anyone else but kinda fun to know it can be done.

Good to know, gonna try it.

I've noticed this last weak. I'm not sure if this was done on purpose or if it's a bug of some sort.
This happens ANYWHERE on the actual OS. Try CTRL+ ALT + DEL on the homescreen.

Awesome On screen keyboard

Check It out...
http://cootek.com/
It is hot!!!
That is cool, kudos for finding it. It's pretty much the blackberry qwerty phone pad, but virtual.
Nice find. I might give this a try.
Currently I am using the excellent pocketcm keyboard and i can type really fast with that. Can be found here
http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php
tks 4 sharing.
Now that I have seen the youtube video on this, I like this more than pocketcm. Really excellent product. You must see the youtube video to realise what an innovative product this is. Pocketcm R.I.P
I was amazed after watching the you tube video. Also if you go to the download section it is free until 8th dec 2007!! I've just downloaded going to try it out now.
I grabbed a copy to give it a try, ran the CAB, and when I select "TouchPal" for my input method, it just rolls right back to the standard keyboard. Anyone else have that particular issue? It looks great for one-handed operation, but...
Install went to the device, not the storage card, so please don't suggest that as a fix.
PerfAlbion I just installed to main memory and all is fine. I had to select it and straight away had a intro screen come up. All I can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall. It does work.
wow nice find, thanks!

Try a soft reset. I had to do that before I could use the keyboard myself. Once I soft reset however ... off the the races!!

The install instructions tell you to install, then soft reset as mentioned. I did the power-off reset and it works fine.
Just when you think that these things can be improved any further, Thanks for sharing!
Nice prog. Can't use it, I have fat thumbs.

I should have mentioned I did that too, I suppose.
Actually, I did it twice just to make sure. Must be a conflict with some other app I've got loaded up...

Did you install it on the main memory? it wont work if you install it to your sd card
Yeppers. Installed to main memory. With the RAM/ROM on this puppy, I doubt I'll put much on my SD card but music or maps for the GPS.
Is anyone using it successfully with SPB PhoneSuite/MobileShell/PocketPlus? Those and AgendaOne are the primary apps I suspect would be conflicting.
this is keyboard is awesome, the only thing i wnat is the space bar to be in the middle (like the video) is everyones space bar to the left or is it in the middle...
You can just drag and drop it into the middle !
It doesn't show up
Hi.
I have installed it to the device - soft reset - and it doesn't show up! I can see it in remove programs and if I search for 'touchpal' I find in Program Files/TouchPal/touchpal.dll as well as the help file and some dictionary files.
But I cannot find the executable to run it.
Any help?
Thanks.
Never Mind. Sorry for the noise.
It was working.... I wasn't

Sounds like you figured it out but for others that may read this, in order to activate Touchflo you have to choose it from the keyboard input pop up that comes up when you tap the keyboard icon on the screen. Took me awhile to figure this out as well

Mobile Tide

Hi,
I recently bought a program called mobiletide. It enables you to see what the tide is anywhere in the world. Great for watersport/sea fanatics! http://www.mobiletide.co.uk/
Does anyone use this? If so how on earth do I access the program?!? I have it installed but it does not work! This is the email sent from the company;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Will, you need to find the shortcut command keys with the handset (*) and
(#) on your keypad will action the same command as the conventional soft keys. it does take a bit of research but all the commands are there to navigate/select, etc.
Regards,
Dan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much use/help! Any suggestions welcome!
Cheers in advance,
Will
look in the Program files folder (internal storage or device, depending on where it was installed to)
Hi,
i use the program cTide (http://airtaxi.net/ctide/) it's free and it works great.

I am confused - It installs it into the JBlend program. It runs on Java. Do you have it working on your device?
Will
oh right, sorry didnt realise it was Java!
no i dont use it
if you open Jblend, it should be there in the window that opens.
My guess is that William is asking how to use the program because Mobile Tide is expecting a normal mobile phone keypad and he hasn't got one so he can't issue any commands to the app
Am I right?
EDIT: @William, It looks like MT uses the D Pad for menu navigation and sets up on screen soft keys (I'd try it but there's no downloadable demo ), maybe you could describe what happens when you start the app.

Hi Will, I don't have GRemote but from the highlight on your Programs screen it looks like that was also running.
How about a soft reset and look for Mobile Tide again?
Go into to Programs>All Programs, find Mobile tide and run it again.

Change hourglass/waiting cursor

Hi all,
already searched the forum and even tried Google, but it's not my friend this time.
I don't really like the standard hourglass on my Raphael, I would like it to be some more in TF3D style or at least without the white background.
I found out you can change it with a Marshall's Waiting Cursor program, but the developer's site is down and there is no other place you can download the program as far as I know.
Is there another useful program to change it? Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
His site seems to be working on my end...
I don't know any other software that does the same. I uses Marshall's program for a while on my Tilt, seemed to be working ok. The occasional glitch though.
Cheers,
Cacti
i second MWC2.

Thanks, the site works here now too. Strange.
I'll try it, since it's the only way to change the cursor. Is it so hard to create such cursors?
Wisbar Advance also has the option of customizing the wait cursor. However it is not freeware.
The cursor images/frames are stored in one of tthe dl's(or dll.mui.*) in Windows folder. Open the dll in PC using some resource editor(PE Explorer or Resource Tuner for example) and change those bitmaps. Copy it to your Windows folder back using Resco Explorer(this is the only one,which can overwrite ROM files) and restart.
Anyone that's using MWC2 ever notice their device randomly turning on?
Last time I tried it my screen would come on out of nowhere. Once I uninstalled it the problem went away.

after you uninstalled it, did your cursor go back to the default?

Use your Fuze/Touch Pro as a wireless Keyboard and Mouse!!!

This software lets you use the keyboard on your Fuze/Touch Pro as a wireless keyboard and the touchscreen as a Touch Pad Mouse like the kind on a laptop. Unfortunately this software is not free but they do have a trial version that you can try and the only limitation is it forces you to reconnect after every 30 clicks. This program can use either WIFI or Bluetooth to connect to your computer and pretty much lets you do anything from controlling Vista Media Center and Winamp to controlling your computer as long as you can write a script.
The software is called Salling Clicker
http://www.salling.com/
The program uses scripts that people create and post on the forum. I wrote this script a long time ago for my HTC Hermes to control my computer.
I don't know anything about programming or coding but I managed to write this script in about one night after reading a few basic tutorials and help from the forum members on Salling's forum. Since I put this together without any real knowledge this script is really basic but get the job done. If anyone wants to improve the script your welcome too, perhap you can smooth out the mouse movement and sensitivity even more.
Installation Instructions
1. Download and install the software on your PC
2. Pair up your phone with the computer by Bluetooth or use Wifi
3. Choose the correct phone from the drop down menu ( Touch Pro in this case) and it will begin to install the client software to your Phone.
4. Download my script and unrar into My Clicker Scripts located in My Documents
5. Open up the host software on your PC and drag the script called "HTC Universal Keyboard and Mouse" from the right box into the left box labeled "Items available on your handheld device".
6. Start up the program on your Fuze and establish a connection and choose the "HTC Universal Keyboard and Mouse" script to run
7.??????
8. Profit!
Thanks alot, i will definitely give this a try

Not that i use it alot, but yea gremote is great. Using your phone for a steering wheel for racing games works great. Or if you got a decent set of speakers, you can change the songtrack or volume from the backyard while your planting your two-lips.

Same here. I tried a Logitech wireless keyboard with touchpad that's specifically made to use with a PS3. The zoom feature was aweful when using the web browser, so I returned it.
There's a way to format the PS3's hard drive to either boot up like a normal PS3 or boot up like a Linux computer. I'm gonna check the PS3 forums to see if there's any info posted about using a WinMo device.

DUAL OS chinese t5353

hi, does anyone know how to hard reset a t5353 Dual OS so that both Android and WM go back to factory settings?
i was able to do a reset on wm by going thru the settings and all but i'm having problems with android part of it.
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ANDROID OS!!!
i tried to calibrate the ANDROID screen and instead my finger, i used my stylus. It picked up my stylus during calibration but after that my screen stopped responding to any touch what so ever. i can press volume, windows, back buttons (or soft keys?) etc and they work just fine showing that the OS itself is working but it's not picking up anything on the screen. Actually, i did notice that when it is about to "sleep" and the lights get "dim", me touching on the screen wakes it up... any help would be appreciated....
i have tried the two of the following available HARD REST combination - neither one worked.
i also know that the touch screen itself is working because when i boot it in WM, the screen and everything else works just fine.
i've made a post in another thread but it's under WM area and my problem is with Android (for mods, just in case they think it's double posting--i'm sorry).
more info.
here is some more stuff that i've tried with the advice from adstrylight who was kind enough to spend some time on my problem

Android vs WM..
Which version of android do you have with your phone btw? Is it running from internal storage, or the sdcard(the easy way to tell this is if your SDcard contains a file called zimage or not)? I only ask as my phone originally came with android running from th SD, and was laggy/buggy beyond belief, and the latest version of A2.1 (the "fourth edition") is a world away in terms of stability etc.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
not sure but when it boots, it shows the android logo (monkey or bugg or whatever it is), then it shows SOHO 2, and then shows a screen with "android" written on it...
no Zimage on SDcard. My device did not come with an SD card either and there is only one slot ( that i can see ) and it has my own SD card from before (which does not contain zimage). i even did a search on my entire phone and did not find zimage.
adstraylight said:
Don't know where this came from, but did you try pressing the zoom bar bellow where it says 'ok'? I only did this once, a long time ago, but this thought just occured to me over dinner....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, that is what i though initially. I was tapping all over the screen, trying to press "zoom out", trying to slide my finger towards "zoom out". I am not sure if it responded to me pressing over "OK" on the screen or "ZOOM OUT" or "CALL BUTTON" but it rebooted and did a hard reset. I was very happy at first only to find out that it only performed a hard reset on WM [very disappointing].

i'm not sure what that means... someone asked me in a different post if there was an external SD with a file named zimage... and my answer was that the device itself did not come with an SD card, i installed my own and it does NOT have zimage file.
thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
anyone? i'd really appreciate any ideas.
It could mean that you have a very different setup, or perhaps that it's an Android OS clone. Are you able to install apps through Android Market place ?

i "was" able to download apps from market place but since the screen does not respond to me "touching an icon", i cant really do much (nothing at all).
NOTE: the screen does however respond when the back light turns dim, me touching the screen wakes it up.
Mann i don't understand how no one knows the answer. All the hackers and crackers making big softwares available to everyone, and no one knows why android OS is not responding to touch????

Pardon?! You own a freaking clone which probably nobody else outside china owns and you are requesting any in deep assistance when nobody has the slightest knowledge about these fancy copy&paste devices?
Form you descriptions though, just to get that right... you had to calibrate your screen where you had to touch the 5 white boxes? If your Android installation is somehow a copy of the XDANDROID system which contains the touchscreen calibration app, then look for a file called "ts-calibration" on your device. Delete it and reboot into Android. (However that is done your device.)

1. thank you very much for your response. i will try to find the ts-calibration file and give it a try. i can upload the "rom" online, it says SOHO 2 when it's loading (if that helps?)
2. i think this device reboots like my samsung galaxy s, press and hold POWER and it asks you if you want to go in flight mode, power off etc.
i looked for this file, i actually did a search through my computer to see if i could find the "ts-calibration" but did not find it.
in WM section (using Resco Reg), i found a few .DLL files that had the word "touch" in them. One was "TouchRecognizer" and one was "touch.dll". i'm not sure which one exactly, but there were a few #s that changed after i did a caliberation ( on WM ). Is there a file in Android that's like that, maybe i could just copy those #s from WM into the .dll or something for Android?
thanks again for taking time to help.
No, you can't copy windows DLL to Android. I assume the only chance you have is searching the net, or some dedicated clone forums for the answer on how to reset your android installation.

Even with updated to 2.1 system.bin and data.bin android files.
