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 have been searching for a phone radio toggle button that I can place in sense's shortcuts. I have tried VJVolubilis.exe with no success, so I was wondering if someone could help me out.
Thanks
Search Themes and Apps for HDConnections thread. I'm using V3. It puts icons straight into start menu which you can then use as quicklinks. Power ff and Data Off dn't work unless you find the installed program folder and copy and paste the working icons into the start menu, but I don't use these anyway so deleted the non working ones. Phone, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Soft Rest all wrk perfectly.
Hi all,
I've been reading through the fourm and have tried a couple of things but unable to make it work.
I recently purchased the above phone and it's been rooted and I have latest GravityBox installed on it.
I'm not sure if the GravityBox comes with an option to change the setting to make the phone wake with the home key, not that I can found in the various functions.
I've also tried editing the home key in (system/usr/keylayout/mtk-kpd.kl adding) by adding "WAKE" OR "WAKE_DROPPED", I've done so with a few different text editors (explore, es file explorer, etc) it comes up as saved but when I go back in, it revert by to just Home again.
Any suggest how to make the above work would be great! Thanks!
If I root my device, can I change button's standings? It's very irritating that every time I press power button, at the same time I press volume down and phone takes screen capture!?!
Or is there something wrong with my fingers
It's not just you...
If you root and install xposed framework there are xposed modules that let you pretty much configure anything you want.
http://www.addictivetips.com/android/xposed-additions/
That module specifically handles remapping hardware buttons which is what you are trying to accomplish.
Personally I prefer just adding screenshot to the power down menu but since Alcatel skinned it none of the modules to add "Advanced Power Menu" appear to work.

It's a design flaw. The way they've positioned the power button opposite the volume buttons makes this kind of mistake inevitable. They probably should have known better in that plenty of other devices have their buttons positioned in ways that avoid the likelihood of this happening.
ROMs (for other devices) and xPosed modules could give you increased options for the behavior of the volume up and down buttons, but I don't know that you can avoid this particular problem altogether. At best, you can probably trade one problem for another. You'll probably just adapt to it after awhile and learn to hold the device in a way that prevents this from happening. Hopefully, TCL will change the button locations on the next iteration of the phone.

If I didn't need the screenshot at all I'd just disable the power/vol up combo entirely in the rom. If I did I'd install a screenshot app and pin the screenshot icon to the notification pulldown using app "Hangar".

Ok, thanks. Maybe I just root my phone and install xposed framework.
I'm just waiting for my first update. My phone firmware is still 5.0.2-010 01
I don't know why I haven't got even my first update, it should be 5.0.2-010 03
I live in Finland. Phone is 6045Y

The system image thread has the newer versions of your firmware (twrp backup images) and you could do your own updating if you wished.....

Talking about the buttons, i'm very iritated by something with this phone: long press on Vol+ (and vice versa) doesn't skip to the next song in music players ... (like on most phones I had in the past) do you think it's possible to map this behavior by using your method , or is there any chance that Alcatel implement this on futur firmwares ? I don't think it's something complicated for them, ... thanks

Why don't you make a backup and try it for yourself then report back to let us know? I found that module with a few minutes of googl'ing. I don't use it myself so how would I know?
Have you noticed that in some apps that are on full screen nav bars disapear? For example i use lgcamera and when i want to get out from app i cannot do it in different way than going to gallery to have those buttons. In some apps i dont have that "option" so i need to pull down panel and enter to settings. This is really anoying. Or maybe i have kosher model

Typically "full screen apps" have an option in settings to enable/disable that feature. In lenovo and moto camera if you tap the bottom where the back arrow should be it shows up and then you can exit.

Well, i do not see that kind of option in app. Alcatels camera have back button, but not in lgcamera and few other apps unfortunatelly. So it seems that i have very strange version of android, or maybe those are the bugs that will dissapear after upgrade, if finally it will be released for my country. I believe that CM will be faster
Hello,
Last week my phone went off because the battery was drained to 0.
Then next morning I connected the phone to my car's charger and when I turned it on, I figured that the soft keys are not working anymore.
I have tried multiple methods like clearing cache, factory reset (through Settings and Recovery), but none of that worked.
I am running the latest stock firmware (5.1.1 U2COH2).
Did this happen to any of you before? Is there an app that allows me to reconfigure the keys? Could this be a hardware issue?
I appreciate your response.
If you are rooted, you could try reflashing the kernel. Works fir me. Sprint variant
I'm not rooted. I believe it's a hardware issue, unless somebody else has a different opinion.
i have the same problem on the recent app softkey (left botton) . i made all kind of reset, but nothing change, sometime i have a "crazy" soft button that start to work like a spirit! or stop to work.
i tried also "safe mode" and a little less, but same (random) problem!
The only way, i find, before to go to assistance (or to put in the garbage!!!) is to disable the softkey.
i find this on xda:
Use a root explorer (I used X-plore with root enabled).
Go to
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Backup file Generic.kl ( copy it as a .bk or something )
Then open the file Generic.kl using the text editor within X-plore.
Then find the word APP_SWITCH linking with the code number (mine is key 254), change APP_SWITCH to MENU. Then reboot and your are done. The Recent Apps button is now back to being a Menu button. Life is great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/how-to-remap-buttons-t3084638/page4
put"#" before key 254 and the key stop to exist, and stop to crash my balls
if someone has a different way to fix is wellcome for me.
thanks!
