Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Fuze when I try mapping a specific key in a program and it doesn't sense the proper key that I pressed. I noticed this in a couple of programs (not just games) so I downloaded a bunch of games just to test this out. In almost all games, I noticed that the arrow keys and some of the special keys are mappable, but all the alphabet keys are not. No matter which one I choose, none of the game or programs recognize the difference in keys. They either don't see em or give them the same Key ID.
Worse yet, the mappable special keys still launch programs in the background killing whatever I am doing. This is infinitely annoying. I did not flash a custom ROM. I am using the latest HTC FUZE rom from their website. The only thing I did different was I soft reset during ROM loading to kill the bloatware. Everything else runs correctly. It's not a hardware problem; all my text are fine; no issues with the FUZE seeing the different key strokes. I have no issues texting. It definitely seems like the Fuze keeps the same key ID for all of the same types of keys allowing them not to be mapped.
Is this a problem with the ROM (HTC May 2009)? Would using NRG latest ROM fix this? Should I go back to AT&T's latest ROM (AT&T April 2009 I think)? Please anyone that knows about this please let me know if you are experiencing this and how to fix. Thank you.
I am sorry if this is not the right place or if I am not posting in the right section, but I searched this forum/internet for hours and I am totally out of ideas. I downloaded a couple of programs, but they only changed the layout to flash non-Fuze ROMS etc. This is one of my first posts, so I apologize. This site is awesome.
Thanks,
nwdst
More info
I have looked into the wiki a bit before, but I dove back in so I can't be blamed for not reading it. I noticed the following two under tips:
#1
Keyboard Patch (For users with an AT&T Fuze)
File Can be found Here
#2
Start Menu and OK Buttons on the H/W Keyboard
If you would like to add custom keys (including Start and OK buttons) see here for customizing the Touch Pro Keyboard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424905 (Post #7 and #12)
For #1, what does the patch do? When I click on it it gives me the cab; but I don't know anything more about. What is the "Patch"?
For #2, I understand that you can map the the OK and start keys, but do I need to remap every key on the board? I still want the keys to do what they do just not when I run a certain program. Can a program do this for me?
1. The patch fixes a non AT&T TouchPro keyboard to function on an AT&T Fuze as they have different mappings.
2. Hardware keys can be mapped but not for specific functions within specific programs.
Thanks
Ok. I will not install the patch.
I understand that you can remap keys but I still don't understand why the key ID under most programs still remains the same for all alpha characters on my keyboard. Is this the same case for anyone with a cooked or At&t rom? I have latest HTC Rom.

No, not the one on dutty's site!
I am looking for the one he uses in his roms, he doesn't have a cab of it.
You can tell it's the newer one because the word suggsetion/letter choose bar is thinner and its black, compared to the cab version he has which is a thicker light grey bar. It's version and build is version 1 build 29567.
I don't think the cab collection thread has the most up to date either, that zip file i a whole bunch of mess up.
Thanks
Looking for this too. All the touch keyboard/keypad cabs mess up my typing while using the full keyboard (might be a fix for this, I haven't really looked), but the version dutty uses in his roms works flawlessly.
Ha, weird.
For me it's opposite. The keyboard in his roms is the newest build, but it conflicts with the hardware keyboard and you can't use function keys unless you are using a Tilt and use the fix which seems to work for Tilt users but not for TyTN II users.
I install his cab version (older build) from his FTP and then I can atleast use the hardware keyboard + function keys AND the touch keyboard when I please, but I want the black word suggestion/letter suggestion bar that is in the latest build and not the old grey thicker bar in his older build.
Must find cab.
That is weird... I think my problem is a little bit different though.
I've got the Att Tilt and the Touch soft keypad works beautifully (any version) but when I switch to the hardward keyboard, I still get spelling/word suggestions from the soft keyboard... which highlights select letters while I'm typing, essentially forcing me to type over them. The end result is just garbled.
The only dutty ROM I've tried so far is v4, and it's worked great, hard and soft keyboard.
I tried the fix too, but it didn't make a difference. I think it has more to do with the keys being mapped incorrectly?

yes we do have slightly different problems. I don't really know how to solve any of it 100%.
All i know, is for me on tytn II, if i have a dutty rom with the touch keypad in it, I can't use the function keys correctly. So that was my biggest problem. Installing his older ftp cab keyboard "overtop" of his built in rom one solved that particular problem. I don't get the word/letter suggestion from xt9.
For tilt users so far i've heard was to install the disablext9 cab fix soft reset then uninstall it, that doesnt work for me, and not for you i guess either.. so ih ave no idea really.
I wonder if it has anythign to do with the xt9 settings and the normal keyboard settings.. i wonder if somethign is conflicting or something.. no i dea.. lol
2 problems with picodrive. The directional buttens are screwed up. left is up en up is right and so on. I have solved this myself no prob just keep on trying finding the right button.
Next problem is with the ABC buttons of Picodrive. Al the alfabethical keys are mapped to the same keyadress so A=> 0xe5 B=> 0xe5
They al have the same function in picodrive.
Is this a problem regarding the Touch Pro or with picodrive or with a windows setting
somebody else on here has mentioned exactly the same problem with another emulator, so I guess the Touchpro somehow represents it's buttons as the same, either that or what you are seeing is the response from the touch screen not from the button (as was proved in another thread the whole area is touch sensitive not just the screen) in which case turning off the touch feature might sort you out.
Its not the screen im talking about. It is the keyboard.
same with final burn
have the same problem with finalburn (mame emulator). Every key from the keyboard except the directional keys, enter and 2-3 others is beeing mapped / recognized as 0xe5
does somebody has a fix?
Besides that problem - has anyone been able to play either of those emulators to evaluate speed?
I'm concerned that the Qualcomm processor coupled with the VGA screen will result in slow performance.
I'm debating getting this phone, but wouldn't want to if it's too much of a drop off from my 6700.
The speed isn't a problem. Runs flawlessy. The applications are still buggy under some other aspects. But I wouldn't buy myself a device in order to run these emus. There are cheaper ones on the market.
Back to the problem with the keymapping...
I hard resetted the device and skipped the extended rom installation. The problem with the keymapping is still there. Therefore I can exclude the applications in the extended rom causing this problem.
Anyone some advices, fixes or workarounds?
no key mapping
key mapping is weird yes.
Mate of mine has the tytn II with a pocketSNES i loved it And i was in need for a new phone... HTC touch pro / raphael / MDA vario IV was a phone i really looked out fore for a while nice design etc etc etc ... just the key mapping for an emulator is a big .. down for me
Any fixes?

My device is working perfectly except for the keyboard, when i slide it up, its nice and neat.
However, when i press "FN" key, it goes to Calendar, when i press "1", it goes to Start, When i press "Tab", Caps light is on, When i press "CAPS", FN light is on...
What is going on? Is it hardware or ROM prob? I used Energy 3.0 ROM, the problem exist, then i flash to Chrome's ROM, the problem still exist. I wonder if i flash back to stock ROM? How would it be?
Or would it be the 1.90.Olinex HARDSPL prob?

Did you search before posting?
This is one of the most common questions asked here....
The TP and the AT&T Fuze have different keyboard mappings.
Depending on your device, you need to search for that cab to fix your keyboard.
In EnergyROM:
Start -> Utilities -> Tweaks -> Keyboard Selector.
Even easier than finding a cab, it's built in to EnergyROM.
Also, for future reference, the EnergyROM threads usually have information like this in the 2nd or 3rd post. I can see how you could miss it, though, amidst all the other thousands of posts in the EnergyROM threads.
Good luck!

You can't miss it if you search for it.
Just laziness....
Hi
I think every pocket putty user knows the problem. It happens only when using screen application - page up and page down keys are treated the same as the up/down keys, and up/down keys give me number 1 and 2 instead of what they should do...
I even remember I downloaded some modified version of pocketputty, where it was fixed. I think it was even on xda-developers, but I've been now looking for months and haven't found anything... Does anyone have this version? Or maybe there's some other way to fix this problem?
I have a verizon tp2 that i bought on ebay recently and it works great other than a little issue with some of the function keys. more than half are not the one that the key says it is and others don't work at all, some are the correct key. for instance the ":" key actually produces a "/", the ";" key produces a "\", trying to type a comma just results in it doing a period which is the primary function of that key. "=" is a "_", and on and on. interestingly, all the symbols on the number keys work correctly and " is a " so not all of the symbols on the letter keys are messed up, but most are.
the keyboard is set to english, my region is USA, and the on screen keyboard works correctly.
It came loaded with energy rom and I just loaded the most recent version of energy on it cause i kinda like it and i was hoping reloading the rom would fix it, it didn't. I have looked all over for settings related to this and i see nothing. Is the keyboard itself screwy or something?
you just need to install the verizon keyboard cab, or install the verizon provisioning. it's in the energy rom thread
awesome, that fixed it thanks. If anyone else has the issue and wants the fix I linked it here.
