Tried GRemote?? Its working good (over wifi tho)
thanks will give it a try and get back to you. but is there a bluetooth solution
amazing software thanks.
but the hardware keyboard does works as if the square function key is pressed all the time and i cant disable it by pressing it. i have to use the on screen keyboard. any solution to this problem
also is there a way to make the touch area behave as left click by double tapping (like laptop touchpads)
the left click for xperia is just hold your finger on the screen and a circle will circle around the point pressed and open up a right click menu
can someone else confirm the keyboard problem. its driving me nuts.
btw im using touch-it 3.5
I confirm the hardware keyboard issue, works in [fn] mode all the time.
I use a program called Salling Clicker to control my computer. It can connect through bluetooth or wifi. It can control common media programs and does mouse and keyboard through scripts. This script was written for the TyTN but works on my TyTNII and my Xperia.

Hello,
since yesterday I am a proud owner of the x1i (from tmobile in germany).
Some months ago in pre-reviews there was a hw button on the left side and as far as I understand it was written that it is possible to configure the functionality to it (like screen rotating).
But know, I see that there is no button on the left side, there is just a small sent with the size of a hw button
Because I have installed the touch flow 3d I does currently not need the panels. So my idea is to configure the panel button to rotate the screen.
But I was disappointed because it is only allowed to configure both softkeys but I want to use them for left/right menu usage.
So my question:
It is possible (patch, registry tweak) to configure the other hardware buttons like:
- Panel
- Camera
- Hang up button
Normal press / long press (hold) to other thinks like:
- Screen rotating?
- etc.?
any idea?
best regards,
stefan
Hi stefan,
a lot of people are truying, but up to now without success, as I can read.
I too miss more buttons, but knew this before buying. I have my own WAD2-UI and this is compensating this with full finger touch possibilities.
I have got another question. Is it possible to key map the qwerty keyboard? for example take a qwerty keyboard and make it qwertz and perhaps change special characters and replace them with special characters of your "national" keyboard?
I found a solution in an other thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441191
There is a link to aebplus program, with this program you can configure every hardware button how you like and it can do even more, you can configure up to 4 functions on one hardware button:
- Simple press
- 2 pressed
- 3 presses
- long press

Best regards,
stefan
This is well known but I have read that it does not work on Xperia X1

Where have you read? Do tell.
AEBPlus Work Perfectly
I've tried and AEBPlus work on my Xperia perfectly just like in Touch Pro. Single, double, triple and long press all work flawlessly. Going to buy this wonderful app now
And somewhere else the author of aebutton plus explaind why he cannot access the "Panel" Button. He was saying that this dedicated Panel button is to deep integrated into the system on "driver" level (if I remember correctly).

has anyone found some software to edit the softkeys ? i'd rather not have to edit the registry ...
i appear to have different entries for my softkeys in my standard windows today screen and also in my tf3d home screen, none of which i seem to be able to update.
AE Button Plus
AE Button Plus works just fine on the X1.
The 'dent' you mention on the side, as far as I can tell is purely a finger rest for when you are using the camera.

As far as mymobiler, once you fire up the windows side client, it pushes the WM side automagically via activesync. Hitting the left softkey should accept the default install location of /device.
Does anyone know how to show the software keyboard during a remote desktop session that is running in full screen mode?
I second this,
does anybody know how, i have connected to my work TerminalServer in full screen landscape, but cannot get a keyboard!!!
any ideas please
i wish to keep using Remote Desktop Mobile!
don't use full screen...
then it's almost fullscreen but with the little icon for the keyboard on the bottom.
I had the same problem. and this worked for me.
i just activate the virtual keyboard of windows when i remote control my computer (go to start --> all programs --> accessories --> Ease of Access (ore sth. like that i dunno the english term) --> onscreen keyboard.
altough, this keyboard is pretty hard to use because it's very small.
I'm desperately trying to find this out too. If you don't run in full screen, you have the big black bar across the top and the big black bar across the bottom. You waste loads of screen space, plus when trying to close a program you often end up hitting the "ok/x" button of win mo. Does anyone have any experience with remote desktop mobile? Any reg tweaks to show a keyboard button?
i haven't tried this myself, but this SHOULD work in theory...
map a button (go to Settings->Personal->Buttons) to "<Input Panel>" (should be at the top of the list of mappable items). i guess only the Send key's Long Hold will be available for most people for mapping purposes...
once mapped to a hardware button of your choice, fire up remote desktop in fullscreen mode and give that button a press...see if the windows mobile on-screen keyboard pops up...
let us know what happens...cheers from pakistan!

I tried this; however the keyboard flashes momentarily and refuses to remain.
try zaDesktop (free), which imo works much better: more configuration options, including screen resolution setting (up 10 1024x768), plus easy access to keyboard - long press on the screen during session and choose "Show keyboard" (see attached pic)
as for Remote Desktop Mobile, the last resort is using PC Windows on-screen keyboard, but it's not that convenient
i have it linked to the gsensor to rotate the screen, then just rotating my phone allows me to call up the keyboard.
ok I know there are a ton of threads about if a wireless usb mouse will work with the Motorola Camera Connection Kit.
Yes a usb mouse does work (at least for me) with the camera usb connector, but what I've yet to find on here and my searches was that your limited on what the mouse actually does.
I guess this is still a software and Android OS limitation, but I was hoping I might have some functionality with the mouse other that just move/point click (all buttons on my win mouse are just normal click function) while the mouse wheel scrolls.
Is there anyway to configure the mouse's buttons for different key commands? I was really hoping to be able to use my mouse's previous/forward button in the default browser.
any apps that might configure or assign key commands to the mouse on honeycomb 3.2?

Not sure but I'd also like to know how to change the mouse cursor - it's kind of small and also if anyone knows where the cursor files are stored?
I use a Logitech V470 BT Mouse and also get click n' drag and some right click function depending on which app I'm in.
Just got this thinkpad tablet for a few days. great pad!
But having two issues:
1 BLUETOOTH:
But I cannot use my bluetooth stereo headset with it. there is no way for me to choose where the sound should go to.
I tried skype, but voice came from speaker, also tried to play music, no way to choose listening from the headset.
I used the same headset for my gingerbread htc phone, it works just fine. when i connect it to my phone, i can see a headset icon, but in honeycomb, no.
2 visual keys
I use this tablet to make notes. pen and screen are the best I have ever used.
but in Honeycomb, those visual keys (home, back, browser button) are very annoying. Palm rejection function works great in writing area, but it will still be very easy hitting those button accidentally by my palm.
Is there any way to move the control bar to the top or how to turn on full screen ?
Any ideas?
Thanks for helping!

There's plenty of other options on market (only works on honeycomb, ICS requires some hefty hacking to make the virtual buttons disappear).

Honeybar will hide the bottom bar. You need to have root permission.
thanks guys
