Just bought a second hand XDA2 and the guy threw in a folding keyboard.
(It looks the same as the one at the bottom of the "connectors"section page.The driver has installed fine and the XDA beeps when connected.
When I select the keyboard activation screen the "infrared & serial" is checked but when I try to select the keyboard option it appears to try but then beeps and defaults to infrared/serial.
I can see some kind of input connection on the left hand side but as it came with no cables or manuals I'm clueless.
I visited their site http://www.darfon.com/ but could only find the drivers which came with the keyboard when I got it.
Help Please before it goes out the bedroom window.
Is this someting to do with having the "receive all incoming beams" ticked in the Connections area ?
I think I read someting about this being necessary.
Mind you I could be wrong, I think I was once in the distant past, tho I might have just been mistaken, and there again, this post might even be a mistake ... who knows ??
Good Luck anyway
All boxes appear to be ticked correctly.
Could do with the manual
Cheers Anyway

I'm pulling what's left of my hair out.. Somebody must know how to help me out.
My problem is. As a subby to a very large firm, I have been issued, along with hundreds of other guys, a T Mob MDA II details bit:-
R 1.06.01
G 1337.16
D 1.60.00WWE
I guess you'll need it. Well, an admin geeza has locked them all up sooo tight we can use it to make a phone call and oh yes the other thing receive a phone call.. Imagine my excitement!!!
NO menus no FUNctions nothing! just login as administrator. Now, though very basic, i have a laptop running W98, with Microsoft active sync 3.8, a comm D9 pin to cradle (XDA II from O2 shop) oh yes and no active sync!
what can i do to open access to this wonder of Tech and close the "Kiosk Switcher" window i may not escape from??
PLEASE HELP ME! P.s. great site guys, lookin forward to using my unit as soon as i can.
Doesn't it violate any company agreements/contracts if you modify your company issued MDA ?
Oh where to begin indeed...
Well, i have actually paid in full for the MDA. It's locked up to stop some ppl messing the things up. I'm not the brain of brit but i have a plan. 512mg MMc on its way and no danger of compant software being messed up. :idea:
Please do begin!! Help me..
Also, how long will it take for a donation receipt to come through, i'll need it for the tax man?
hi T3D,
did you try to hard reset it yet?
buzz
Hard reset
That's the power button and reset pin hold down thing yes? Well it all looked good! right up to the point when it ended at the locked window. back to Square 1
Thanks for the reply though.

Well, it sounds to me that they have modified a reg. string that gets loaded and written during the hard reset, (i.e. somewhere in the Ext_Rom!)
Try to press CANCEL while loading (installing) the ExtROM stuff and if the TAPDisable is functional.. then press on the center NAV button during the same process.
I know that restriction :evil: it sucks huh :?:
how about if you just reflash it to 1.72?
all that admin stuff will be gone as last year's snow...
you can even flash it with 1.60 stock version if you like...
buzz
still stuck!
Helpful.. Well, tried the cancel and nav button via hard reset and no joy as yet. now trying to read up on how to re flash.. Any suggestions? :?

Since you paid for it, take it to the admin geeza and tell him to unlock it.
Make sure you look menacing when you tell him.
Update!!
Joy, got in by nav keying the hard reset! Result, had a play but most s/w hadn't installed. This gave me a taste of things to come. Now i looked in the startup for this alpha sequence that boots the thing to locked window and realised it hadn't been installed yet so unable to get rid now i know it's there some where as i hard reset it again and back to sq 1 again!!! this stuff is stored somewhere, but where should i look. gained active link via IR aswell. will re try just need a map to the memory holding install S/W in the hope that maybe i can re write the lock up bit and hard reset to an open book!
Does any one know what the hell i'm on about???? :?
Now that you have succeeded in breaking the start-up sequence, you are left with a basic WM2003.
What did not install iis in the ExtROM.
IF
You install the ExtROM Tools (found on tis site), you can unhide the ExtROMand then one by one install the apps that are in there, UNTIL you find the one that introduces the blocking of functionalty. To do that (after unhide & unlock) look at the config.txt file. That file lists the installation script.
When you find the blocking app, one more time hard-reset, install the tools, inhide AND unlock and: Just remove the line with the app that introduces the blocking.
After you finished dont forget to LOCK the ExtROM & hard reset . . .
BTW Flashing is a good idea too, but maybe you lose some company-specific apps you might need . . .
good luck
I'm in atlast!!
Well i found the offending item last night after many resets and nav key meddling... looked in file explorer/storage and an auto run file(?) was there with a clue in it's title. i hadn't read the reply above at that time so i just put an mmc card in, cut n paste jobbie on the file to the mmc card and Bob became my uncle. I hard reset again to go for the full install and it stayed unlocked from the kiosk switcher!! RESULT! However, the above sounds like a far more sencible idea!! Will do that for the rest of the gang..
Thanks for all the help guys
oh one last Q' every 20-30 mins i get a pop up, bearing in mind i've been in every folder, programme and file, I may have changed a thing or two.. :?
"Cannot Connect
If you use a modem to connect to your ISP,
ensure that it is inserted correctly. To
connect to your work network, you must
create a modem (dailup) connection or a
VPN connection. To create a connection, tap settings.
Settings DISMISS"
What the F*** is that?? I'm still learning... What did i press?
...looks like some application is connecting regulary to internet over GPRS, but you didn't set it up yet. maybe email client...
buzz
Good point and makes sence!
I'll stop running programmes from start/settings/system/memory/running prog's, wait till it pops up and go look what's started, we'll see what it brings me..
As i type we find it's "acticesync". Cheers buzz, been a great help!!
i'm finding USB settings every where but my cradle is a D9 pin comm connection. Is there some specific settin listed in the instruction manuals we never had with the MDA's?
Oh yes. the V2.2 unlocker worked first time for me. No probs as yet to report... OPCS sim works fine. better signal in some places but only to be expected from a different network!
... it is funny...
i can remember, that there was a guy here on the forums, some time ago, asking how he can lock XDAs for employees... just wanted to allow them using the phone only...
maybe it was your geeza admin... ;o)))
try to search for those threads... maybe you'll find some interesting info..
buzz
Tellin me!
Buzz,
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE..... Just how much info there is on Locking these up. Every site every official O2 an T Mob Site hold details on who, where and how to lock the babys up. Could i find a thing on unlocking?? Beleive me I did my home work. I know soo much about the selfish safe software and by total luck i heard of this site. Full of PDA guru's i was told!
Hat's off to you guys, you got a great, all be it, hush hush reputation!
Cheers for the guidence guys. If i wasn't told you could interrupt the installer i would have tied a noose round the MDA's bettery by now!! Hope this string helps others in my OLD shoes.

Did anyone have the same problem:
Most of the times, opening the serial port on COM1: works fine. But sometimes, after a hard reset for instance, opening the port fails. If one checks through the eVC++ Process viewer, one sees that the corresponding DLL got loaded by device.exe.
I couldn't fathom out what app causes that problem, it must be one that comes with the device, as it happens after hard reset. ActiveSync is activated for 'USB, so this shouldn't cause it.
Any idea what app blocks COM1: ?
Device :Qtek2020
Thanks
recieve all incomming beam files
use it i seem to recall
and it's on by default after a hardreset
Yes, beams hijacks com 1 and also any external keyboard driver will take it also.
It was the beam, thanks a lot for your answers. It gets activated by default after hard reset. Looks like a bug to me: that ircomm which is mapped to another virtual port number should block COM1..

been flashing roms for a while now and everything was great until recently. i have this annoying video pop up problem that i cant seem to figure out if its the phone or what. what happens is randomly the tv/video out pops up and the screen turns to landscape mode. then all sound is lost. ive flashed original stock rom but the problem still happens even running stock. i cant figure out if its the phone and i need to do a warrenty exchange or if its something else. i am hard spld and security unlocked. if anybody else has this problem or had this problem and know of a solution id greatly appreciate it. i dont think its the way i flash roms. i flash with sd card thats formatted fat 32. sim card out and hard reset after first boot.
Sounds like you are describing the TVOUTPopup feature.
Usually, the TVOUTPopup only appears when the A/V Cable (extra cable) is physically connected to the device.
At first guess, I would be inclined towards a faulty USB connector.
yes it is the tv out pop feature. whats wierd is that its the new look from a different rom build. whatever rom i run (right now stock). when the screen comes up it turns landscape and has 4 colorful icons to choose from. internet,youtube,photos,and powerpoint office. once i hit the x button or hit close then it will keep repeating and keep the screen in landscape even though i havent slid out the keyboard. after multiple times closing the app it will stop doing it for a bit but then do it again few hours later.
Since you've tried different ROMs and are seeing the same behavior, I'm inclined to think it's hardware related. Assuming you have nothing connected to the device at the moment except for the SIM, examine the USB connector very closely for signs of damage.
If all looks ok, perform a hard reset and flash the Official HTC 5.05.405.1 ROM/Radio (should eliminate possibility of garbage in ROM) to the device and confirm that the behavior still occurs. If the problem persists, that would confirm it to be hardware.
HTH,
well i flashed the new att fuze rom. so far so good. no popup yet. this happened before though when i thought i fixed the problem. but after running a new rom for about 4 days it came back. if it is a hardware issue then my fuze needs to be exchanged right? thanks for all your help.
I have same issue with my FUZE (constant "Video Out" pop-up message, often switches to landscape mode, sound is off). Have you found any solution to this?
P.S. ...
Hi Guys,
I have a very unique problem. Couple of days back while charging my phone near a lot of dew waters was found in my TP. It happened due to heater being on and the windows getting a lot condensed dew and hence water was found in my TP.
Even though i have used a hair dry to it an the phone seems to be working now, there seems a problem with the htc usb jack. Whenever i plug in the cable my phone works normally however once the cable is removed it goes into tv out mode and making my phone speaker to be not working. I have tried disabling the tv out settings in the registry however still whenever i remove the cable it shows me that tv out settings.
Could someone please inform me how to remove the tv out settings completely from the phone including control panel as i never it use it so that my phone can start working again. I dont have this problem when using the Eclair android however the battery life there is not good at the moment.
TIA.
self bump hope some one can help me.
HELP!!!
i have this problem as well. TV-out is taking over my phone. it rotates and and doesnt go back unless i reset. if anyone can help us out ill be happy to donate!!!
I also have this problem from a faulty USB cable. (grounded I think)
If someone can help to remove TV/Video Out it would be awesome.
Try this in your registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\TVOUT]
"Flags"=dword:4
To remove the icon you need to find out which mycpl entry it uses.
Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\MyCpl] and look at each number till you find the one that points to tvoutsetting.exe (it is 15 on my phone). Once you find it, go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\xx] (where xx is the number) and set "Hide"=dword:1
Can anyone help me remove TV Out and Video Out completely? ):
I am new to tablots and android and have about 300 questions but wil limit it to the important ones.
I have seen references to different models like 60,70,80 but have no idea where a person would find what model you have. I have looked at the sticker on the back with the serial number and in the setup and about but don't see anything that would indicate what the model is aside from a TF-101
The firmware I have is 8.6.5.13-.. and would like to upgrade it as I see on the ASUS download page there is a 8.6.5.21 which is supposed to fix some bugs but when I got to setup and check for updates I am advised there are no updates for my device.
I also read that you can connect a mouse to the USB port however when I connect a wireless USB mouse receiver the light on the receiver does not come on and the mouse does not function. I have done a search but cannot find any solutions, so would appreciate knowing what is required so the USB functions with a mouse.
I have downloaded our local newspaper a half dozen times today which is in PDF format, and while reading it in office it simply disappears for no reason, which has become a real frustration. Is there another app to read pdf files, am I doing something wrong in office, or is this a bug with office? I know if gave two choices when opening the file, one was office and I don't recall the other one. I tried the other one however it only displays one page at a time and you can't simply scroll to the next page you have to select a dot at the bottom representing the page you want to go to which is a little tough with the size of my fingers.
When I opened it this morning it showed 4 e-mal messages on the home page so selected e-mail and when it opened the e-mails all instantly disappeared and have no idea why or where they went. They were not in the trash folder so have no idea what happened to them.
I know part of my problem is no being familiar with Android but given my computer background expected to pick it up a little better that what I have so far so am unsure if it is something I am doing or not doing or just bugs in the Transformer. I have used an IPad in the past with little or no problems so am finding this experience a little frustrating.
Thank you
On the bottom of the tablet its self there should be a sticker (unless you took it off) and it will start with B then it will have two characters after it such as 70 or 90 does not matter much now as you probably have a new model. The only thing that depends on the number is NVFlash so it is not a big deal.
It tells you how to install the new firmware on the asus site. I believe you put the file you download there in your /asus folder
Should work on the newer firmware if not it is unsuported as it probably need periferal drivers
The paper will be in your /downloads folder. Open my files then open it from there. I suggest the pre installed MyLybrary
Shouldn't do that on newer fermware
Normally USB peripherals should work fine, maybe the update you want to do will solve the problem.
For the emails something came to mind: is it possible that they were old emails that the tablet picked up while dormant and before you used the pad you went on a computer/cell phone and deleted them? So when you used the tablet the emails disappeared when the app pinged the mail server. This happens to me all the time since I have a ****ty internet connection maybe I notice it more as there is a 30sec to 1 minute delay to mail updates
Hope this helps!
I think the .13 firmware had a USB bug that if you reboot it with the mouse plugged in it will work.
Check the ASUS Support site for the .21 firmware. Download, unzip to a microSD card. Insert and it should find the update.
Check out ezPDF or Aldiko for a PDF reader. Much better than Polaris.

See your tablet's serial number. When anyone talks about B40, B50 or so on all of them talking about first 3 numbers of the serial number...
You should have been able to update and get OTA from ASUS itself... Try updating from tablet itself... You should be able to update if you look under "about tablet" under setting.....
