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.

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.

Morphgear is the one you want! Plays Mario on SNES like a dream!

i tried to remap the key but they stay the same wierd
Hi All,
I have a strange problem, tried to search the forum,
without success...
Sometimes the OK button doesn't response (both OK buttons...),
only clicking OK on the screen works.
another issue - sometimes when clicking the action button nothing happens, or even worse - it acts like a long press even when I press it really shortly...
Any one else had such problems?
Is it (as I guess) a hardware problem?
I have the same problem and I dont think its the hardware cause the button is not presented in "buttonmapping" in the controlpanel. This has worked before. Please respond if you solve the problem.
Mine does it on occasion. Pretty sure it's software and It seems to happen with the same apps each time. Make note of what apps you have running when it happens.
Just started doing it again but I realized that I have never had a prob with the OK or Start Menu buttons but rather the softkeys. In Today Agenda, the left key (edit) stopped working and then a few minutes later the right key (menu) stopped working. I closed all apps and the problem persisted with every appointment I opened. Soft reset fixed it.
I should also add that I am not using the latest version of Today Agenda because I have not figured out how to make it look like the version I am used to.
Might be related: a lot of games I have tried don't seem to support the softbuttons, phone buttons, or really much else besides the directional pad and center select button.
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).....
Hi people,
I searched the forums and I couldn't find anything related to this.
When I try to remap my hardware buttons while using Pocketmusic, there's no reaction whatsoever, buttons are not being reassigned, they just do their normal action, even while on the Reassign buttons screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Ricky.
same problem here
Which version of Pocket Music? I have 3.6 but you don't mention which version you have.
I know, digging up this post but same thing happens to me using the latest version of PM (although on a different ppc, universal).
When booting up in safe mode though (through spb plus), h/w buttons work ok... try this first and if it works for you on safe mode as well, that means there's probably a conflict with another app.
BTW I noticed that in my case, when I use the D-pad on Pocket Music today item (when selected) h/w buttons work! So the problem lies on the program itself (when it's running full screen maybe?)
I've found the solution! On my HTC Kaiser the hardware buttons didn't work with PocketMusic 5.3.1 demo because of S2U2 I was using. I turned it off and the hardware buttons worked perfectly. But then your device is unlocked when a call comes in.
The real solution: Open the S2U2 Settings and switch ON "Don't use Keyboard Hook". That's it. Enjoy
Hi all,
since I am new in this forum I would appreciate if I am in the wrong section to raise my issues, please let me know and I will accordingly move my post. Thanks.
Following issues I face with my 2 month old UMI Zero.
1. can not make regular phone calls via speaker. my partner can listen, myself cannot hear a word. fact headset icon shows in the very top menue line, speaking via headset works fine but does not make life easy.
serveral factory resets done, updates etc. nothing worked.
2. yesterday, the next issues occured out of nothing. my touch buttons do not operate anymore at all. no function behind except the blue lights. Need to reboot if I would like to switch apps/functions.
Anyone who can help me to solve my problem or experienced same issue(s).
Thank you.
Best

Same issue with buttons with my umi zero
My buttons stopped working as well all at once, considered as contact problem until one day they returned to respond unexpectedly.
After working fine for a while stopped responding once again.
Thinking it's might be software issue, I've installed a new rom material V 3.0 lollipop inspired 4.4 kitkat provided by umi Root joy tool. It didn't help, however, regardless to update the buttons now are lightened but not stable responsive therfore still useless.
For now used this post to enable soft keys: search Google for "enable-soft-keys-navigation-bar-android-phone"
Another free app which I found useful is called My home Button, can be downloaded from play store.
Hopefully a solution will be found soon
The only solution is to dissasemble the smartphone and connect properly the hardware components, you can dissassemble your phone with an hot air gun
Same issue and possible solution
Come on! Are u kidding?
My buttons stopped working yesterday but with a reboot everything was fine again. Until now. No signal from the buttons, light nor fucntion. I'll try flashing it and, if not, i will have to dissasemble and check the hardware.
If this doesn't work I'm thinking about downloading an xposed module that allows you to remap the phisycal buttons. I'll try remapping home, back and settings buttons into the power and volume ones. Let's see if it works.
First of all sorry for my bad english ( I'm french). For the problem with your touch bouton you can also use gravity box ! With this app you can enable the navigation bar and you gonna have touch bouton like the nexus phones. If you don't know how to do that you can ask me question in a next post.
Dear All,
Just want o let you know that after being hesitant for so long, I finally disassembled my Umi Zero and guess what? The back camera connector was not connected, and the touch button + speaker connector at the bottom was also not connected! I just connected them back, put the battery back, and touch buttons + mic were working fine. Tested with voice recorder, playing audio, and also few calls.
Disappointed though by the component assembly....most of the screws were very lose and one even came out without unscrewing. Also, the screws are of different sizes, so please please please take note where each screw goes (What I did is get an A4 paper, made a sketch of he phone outline, and placed the screws on each area where I removed them from).
Note : Most likely you will break the back glass cover so you might as well place an order on Aliexpress before you disassemble it. It is possible to remove it without breaking with lots of extra caution though.
No sound and no soft keys
I had the same problem with my daughters Umi Zero.
I found a work round for the buttons:
-temporarily install an app which emulates the keys so you can navigate. eg Handy Soft Keys from the Playstore
-enable in settings/accessibility
-reboot
-need to be rooted
-install file manager, eg ES file explorer
-in ES tools, activate Root Explorer
-navigate to local/device/system/build.prop
-drop to end, leave a couple of lines space then edit by adding: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
-save and reboot
You have soft keys
Uninstall emulator app
Backup etc before you start
Haven't fixed the sound yet: nothing from the speaker, phone and headphone jack doesn't work.
Bluetooth does work.
