unable to map phone button during emulations - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi, newb here. I just got an snes emulator for my new toy, and everyting's fine, except for the fact that i cant seem to use the "end" phone button or map its use. The "call" button works during emulations, as do all the other buttons, but the one button thats most convenient, the end button, doesnt seem to work or can be mapped. Is this normal? Or do i have a lemon? If its normal, is there a hack around this? Thanks in advance

i'm surpprised that you can even map the pickup phone button
from what i've been able to understand they were outside of windows mapping scope and had a much more direct connection to the gsm part itself seing that you can lock them like you can the other buttons
guess one can learn everything any day

NES Emulator
I have PocketNester and, yes, I haven't been able to map the end call button. Haven't tried other NES emulators, though.

Thnaks for the response guys. Well, thats somewhat of a relief, at least its an inherent shortcoming of the unit and i didnt get a lemon.
I hope this can be addressed by some hack or program in the future. That, or someone finally develops buetooth gamepads for the xda II, hehe

A bluetooth gamepad ... now, that would really be the mother of AWESOME.

Pressing multiple keys at once in games impossible?

Hi there,
I just tried to play Motocross Stunt Racer on my MDA Pro, but I was unable to press multiple keys at once e.g. unable to accelerate and steer at the same time.
Is this a known problem, and if so, is there a workaround or a fix?
:?:
I open the MDA and play in portai modus.
Use left hand to jumpt, drive and the right hand at the cross/enter button. looks stupid but works.
Is there any possibility to fix this issue?
i read a long time ago someone was working on a new driver for the keyboard allowing for multiple inputs... but i don't think it's doable

Hermes and gaming = frustration?

I havetried to play games on my phone that use the hardware buttons and found the experience to be somewhat frustrating.
It seems that the hardware buttons are restricted in their responsiveness. By this I mean that two keys cannot be pressed at once. Also, if a second key is pressed too soon after the first key is released, the the phone thinks the first key is still pressed.
This makes playing games like pinball hopeless.
Is this a hardware limitation of the phone, or could a software 'tweak' help?
Cheers
just now I bought bluetooth keyboard for PC and I want to try it on this PDA if it is better as standard HW keyboard on PDA. e.g. doom is terrible to play with keyboard on tytn...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A software option to improve things was looked at a long time ago but the hardware does not support what you are looking for on the built in keys.

Cheers fellas. Such a shame really as a large number of pda games will be unplayable because of this.

Now this might be a little different as I have a Hermes 100 (8525) in the US but I can get two button presses using my keyboard instead of the d-pad.
It took a minute to figure out, as morphgear does not support landscape mode, but I open it halfway up so that the magnet is not tripped to rotate the screen. But if you do this remember that UDLR are still oriented to the portrait mode, even though you changed the screen orientation to west to view in landscape....This was like a rubics cube for me, it took me over an hour to figure out what was going on.
So left becomes up, right becomes down, down becomes left, and up becomes right... weird huh?
But I do play all sorts of NES and SNES, Sega, GG, GameBoy, etc. on morphgear and can run holding down right and fire a gun at the same time with another keyboard button...
Of course I've got an Herm100 (8525).....

new phone pad app???

I have had my 8125 for quite some time now and it has gone thru alot. My problem is that the call/answer key/button does not work as well as the call end button. Does anyone know of any apps that i could use as a sub. phone pad? I set my voice record button as my phone button but the is no talk icon in that phone pad. Any ideas would be great, thanks.
Can I get clarification please?
Your touch screen phone pad is not working...or your hardware button are not working?
If it's the former, it may be corrupted like mine was, just install a new pad (you can get some nice ones from zombienexxus)...at least doing that worked for me. The other thing you can try is to re-flash your rom. If it is the buttons on the device, I am not sure how to help you, other than asking if you are at all under warranty or have insurance on the device with which you can use to swap it out.
Sorry couldn't help more. Best of luck.
the hardware :-(
bad news for me. it is not the touchscreen, it is the actual psysical buttons on the phone. but in most new roms the dial pad only has certain buttons and lacks others. i just need a basic pad with the ability to hit the touch version of the call button, due to my physical button not working.
I'll give it another go ahead to find an alterative pad. thanks for the remomendation though.

Tmobile-USA volume remap not working?

I'm trying to remap the volume to d-pad up & down (mostly for book reading).
I'm using the version of AEPlus I just got off the web - and after a reboot the keys still do the normal volume control. I also tried voldpad with the same lack of results.
Anyone able to get the volume keys to remap, or are they hard locked?
Oh - using AEButtonsplus version 2.6.6.2. If possible I'd like to confirm one way or another before I write the developer.
No luck with remapping yet, but I'm trying a solution to pass on in case someone else hits this thread on a search:

Gpad. Turn your accelerometer into a d-pad by tilting it to turn the pages. I'm using the switch option for my reader, which means it will only turn 1 page when you tilt it until you put the unit back into level area (so it won't turn 50 pages when you tilt).
Will mess around and see how well this works!
I am also interested in getting voldpad working on the US HD2.
Doh, didn't see the date of the OP, silly me

Weird problem with emulator. Any help will be much appreciated.

Although games run pretty much great on my device on the PPSSPP emulator, the buttons are not working properly.
What I mean by that is when I press directly above, say, the X button, the button doesn't activate.
Same goes for all the buttons in the virtual touch controller.
I have to press a bit to the left of each button to register the touch, which makes playing irritating. (check the attachment to understand better)
I'm on Android 7.1.1, tested latest stable and test build of PPSSPP, both produced the same result.
I also went all the way back to 1.0 version but no dice.
Tested the touchscreen itself through Android developer mode-> Show pointer location and it was working as it should, so the phone is not to blame either.
Tried to change touch settings but couldn't manage to fix it.
What did work but it's not sufficient was the Retroarch application using PPSSPP core, the buttons worked just fine, but this is not a viable solution because the core in Retroarch is a really old version of PPSSPP.
So long story short help me, I tried anything I could think of and I'm stuck.
Have a nice day.
I fixed it.
If anyone wants to know how, a Redditor gave me the idea.
You just have to force the on screen navigation buttons and it will work nicely.
