Seeing as how there is a thread on here for "Google TV Hacks" and i was having some issues with my Sony Blu-Ray google tv (NSZ-GT1) I thought i'd post this here in hopes it'll help someone else.
I was having 3 Issues (this resolved 2 of them)
1. Can't program remote to control my Sharp TV
2. Can't program remote/keypad to control my Bose home theater system. (Fixed)
3. Optical Finger Scanner (OFS) for mouse pointer wasn't working well. (Fixed)
So to reset the remote
1. Remove the 2 AA batteries
2. Press EVERY button 2 times (i thought this was a little too much seeing as how there are so many buttons on the keypad but i went ahead and did it)
3. Replace batteries
Now my OFS works properly, previously it would work for 1-3 secs then mouse pointer would fade out, or i would have to hold another button on the keypad for it to work.
Also before i did this, when i pressed the AMP button, the LED on the button would not light up. After resetting the keypad/remote the LED lights up and now i can adjust the volume and change the input on my Bose home theater system.
My left directional button does not work. I have tried this method, but it has not fixed it. Any other suggestions?
.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
I tried this and nothing, I wasn't paying attention at the pairing screen and let go of F1 and Enter before the orange LED stopped blinking. Now I'm stuck there and the orange LED doesn't light up at all. Any other suggestions?

I've been pretty happy with this phone, especially since I got WM6 on it but I'd like to be able to use Morphgear as an emulator. When I do, I like to use it in "west" orientation with my left thumb on the control pad and my two main buttons as Button 1 (the "mail" button) and Button 5 (the "comm manager" button) so I can press them at the same time with my thumb on 1 and my index finger on 5. When I try to map the buttons that way in Morphgear, it calls Button 5 Button 6 instead and it doesn't work in game. I thought it might be a Morphgear issue but I've tried it with other emulators and it doesn't work in them either. Why is that? Is there any way to correct it? Another annoying issue is that whenever I accidentally press the center of the control pad and Button 1 at the same time it wants to align the screen.
Any help?

that combination is probably a built in feature to pull up the align screen program for your device, and i am pretty sure can be removed by tweaking the reg. settings that correspond to the short cut.
You should post your issue under the tnt rom thread to avoid creating redundant threads.
cheers
try vjcalibrula .
it may turn calibration combo off... it works on wizard, at last..
I got my new S740 today, and I'm pretty happy with it. 1 annoying function is that the number pad doesn't light up until you press a key. Even when you direction pad or the home/back button is doesn't light up.
That may not sound that bad, they there is very little distinction via feel to the buttons on the number pad, which forces you to hit a random key (usually the wrong one) to get it to light up.
Anyone know a way around that?
Probably ask in the ROSE forum^^
Otherwise I think you could try to disable the light sensor, so it lights up right away when you press a button.
Is there a Rose forum, I looked but did't see it. I saw a few other 740 posts in this forum so assumed that is where people are posting for it.
I tried disableing the light sensor, but same issues, the phone lights up on the dpad not the number pad until I push a number.
this is the Rose forum:

I was looking under smartphones, I wonder why it isn't under smartphones.
Have the same aggravation with it.
What the hell was the engineer thinking!?!
This is the only thing about the phone I am upset with and it's one of these things that you can't believe it's even an issue. I mean the light up scheme on every htc phone prior to this was FINE.
Someone just got way to clever and over engineered this bit.
If you hit the d pad nothing lights up. If you hit the home/back/softkeys area that section lights up, but if you want to light the keypad you have to press someting. Plus it turns off VERY quickly. I can't find any settings for this other than sensor which has zero effect.
Some admin needs to slide this over to the very quiet ROSE forum I guess.
Hi all,
I have an HD2 and was wondering if there is a tweak available to switch on the backlight for the bottom keys when it's in Car Kit mode?
It obviously recognises the car kit (switching to NaviPanel), so has anyone come up with an option to switch on backlights for keys when in car kit mode? It's literally a stab in the dark, when it's dark, to use any of them.
It's my first post here so apologies if I've not followed any appropriate protocols.
Thanks
Not sure about a stand alone just for the Navipanel,
but there is this one by Netripper which will keep the leds lit up till you
physically lock the screen,give it a try and see if it does what you
are looking for ......

Great, thanks for that.
Thumbs up type smilie.
The Gametel controller is now available on Amazon.com. I got mine in the mail today. Here's a quick review.
It came with no battery charge, so I had to plug it in to test it out. I was using a USB cable plugged into my computer. At first it only showed a red light to indicate charging, but then a green light came on shortly afterward. This is supposed to indicate that it's on but not paired. I tried pairing with the device using the Gametel software from the market, but it would not work. Turns out you can't use the controller while it's plugged into a computer. As soon as I unplugged it it turned off, and when I turned it back on it paired fine. I tested it again while plugged in and it still wouldn't connect to the phone. No big deal, but it's a minor hassle. It might work fine when plugged into an outlet. It supposedly has a 9 hour battery life, so just keep it charged and this issue should never bother you.
Despite the One X's huge size it fits fine, even with a TPU case. The TPU case has the added benefit of keeping the controller arm from pressing the down volume button. The software has a feature to disable the volume keys because of this potential issue, but it's nice that I didn't need to use it. It says it can provide volume control using the device itself, but I'm not sure how that would work, since all the physical buttons are mapped to SNES buttons for my purposes. You could always slide the phone a little bit to the left and it wouldn't hit the volume key. The phone would be off center, but it wouldn't be too bad.
The controller acts as a virtual keyboard. As part of the software setup it installs an input method in your keyboard settings. As soon as you launch the software it prompts you to change to its input method, which is handy. Then you can launch your favorite emulator and map the keys is uses to the emulator's buttons.
I initially had problems with the default keys that the controller was emitting. I'm used to an SNES button layout, so I will call the buttons X (top), Y (left), B (bottom), A (right). For some crazy reason the A button was emitting the Android "Back" button by default. This was mappable in Snes9x EX, but pressing it still performed the "Back" action which prompted you to quit the game. The B button was emitting the "DPAD Center", which worked, but was an odd choice. It's even stranger because none of the preset key configs in the Gametel software's Advanced Settings have this setup. If this happens to anyone else, just load the Android Gamepad preset and it will work fine. However, it reverses X & Y and A & B from what I'm used to, so I made my own preset named SNES. That way when I configure Snes9x the purpose of the button matches up with the key being emitted.
As for the controller's buttons and D-pad, they are OK. The buttons are great, but the D-pad makes you move diagonally a little too easily. If anyone is familiar with the Xbox 360 D-pad, it's the same sort of problem, but not as bad. Maybe with more time I'll get used to the feel of exactly where to press to avoid moving diagonally. Part of the problem is the D-pad is circular instead of cross-shaped. It's hard for your thumb to feel exactly where the cardinal directions are. This isn't the entire problem, though, because the 360 controller has clearly raised cardinal directions and it still sucks really bad. Thankfully it's not nearly that bad with this D-pad. Pretty much anything is better than on-screen controls.
That actually looks pretty cool.
I don't game enough to need this and touchscreen controls don't bother me enough, but thanks for the review!
As it turns out, the D-pad is really ****ty. This is most noticeable in games with movement in both directions, like Secret of Mana. Zelda wasn't so bad because you move kind of slow and you can adjust your thumb position if you notice yourself moving diagonally by accident. However, in Secret of Mana you fly across the screen, and moving diagonally by accident for a second can really put you off course. In a game like Super Mario World you don't really notice the problem.
I might have to try an iControlPad. I just really liked the Gametel's single-piece design and spring-loaded arm.

I've installed MTCE_GS_V3.01_3 head unit, and while steering wheel buttons work fine, the central panel buttons are no go.
I'm certain I've connected every cable that was connected on the original installation.
I've seen some suggestions on youtube to reset the panel button list, and then choose key study to add all buttons anew, however that does not help.
Right now Can bus type is set to 55 GM Simple, and that's probably the only one that works with steering wheel buttons.
I've tried changing knob type and other settings to no avail - I do full restart after the change, but when in key study no button press makes a difference.
Are there any suggestions what other settings should I try changing, or is there a way to check if a buttons press sends any signal at all?
You seem to be mixing/confusing steering wheel key assignment with the touch key assignments. These are two very different things. Canbus has nothing to do with the touch keys.
There is a touch sound setting that will cause the unit to beep every time one of the touch keys are touched. Please have a look at my instructional tutorial on how to set the touch keys:
How to reset the touch buttons instructional
This thread is not asking how to reset the touch buttons down the side of the panel screen. First go to Settings... Car.. Factory settings.. password 126 Then touch Key study category at the top Next Touch Key Study First the system will want...

I'm not sure we're talking about the same things, correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm talking about these buttons basically:

To my understanding (until now) they should be configured using Panel key study?

That looks like the control panel for the original radio.... and probably connected DIRECTLY to the original radio. Unless they operate through can bus, I don't think you can configure those.
I've seen them working on YouTube videos and such.
Agree with @Bob_Sanders on this. I was under the impression that it was just touch buttons off to one side of the head unit screen like many of these head units.
I suggest reaching out to the manufacturer of the radio with your question regarding the button panel.

Then it's possibly connected through can bus and you MIGHT get it working if you connect up your Key1 and Key2 wires and try the key study again.
I'm not sure if you have a can bus box on there already. If you do I'm not sure if you can run the box AND the key1/2 wiring at the same time. Try it though.

Can you clarify please what do you mean by "the box"?
