Can you give me a link where i can find this tombraider, i am a fanatic.
i found the link on google searching for tombraider pda
http://www.tombraidertogo.com
hope it's the right one
Just discovered the lack of buttons, I am going to try the different key controls A B C, have you tried those yet? I was hoping the save/pause button is remapped. Will let you know.
All keys are available
use the contacts and calender buttons and the rec button for the above mentioned functions.
The game is almost a direct port - with the exception of no multiple key presses - so you cant make Lara do that handstand climb manouever.
I am glad that I never played the game originally on the playstation - so I am slowly trying to complete it for the first time.
4 months in and I am only up to level 5!!!!!

I remember I installed the game, but I had to take it out, because the only way that I could quit the game was resetting the machine, how do you quit?
Jayman are you using a xda?
I cannot access the menu or quit too.
Nope neither can I, how do you map those buttons to save/pause etc, as the man said, the only way out is a soft reset.
Right:::
I use control config A.
Flip screen left and toggle off both running and walking.
Within the game, all soft buttons(ie those on screen) should work as advertised.
D pad -directs Lara
calender - gets out current weapon.
contacts - fires or actions.
record/volume button - accesses menu.
In the menu u can go up and down 3 levels
Inventory - here are your weapons medipaks compass, press the soft select to use a medipak (Lara will groan) or to change weapon.
Above that is Items where you keep anything you have found.
The bottom screen is the options where if you select 'game' you have the option to load or save a game. You can also exit to the title screen.
Then from the title screen you use the same option to exit back to TODAY.
I have also found that if i press one of the phone buttons - it exits imediately without the need for a soft or hard reset and when you restart the game providing you have not hard or soft reset, you are exactly where you left the game.
Hope this all makes sense and is of help to you. If this does not work for you it may be the OS you are running or some software that is providing a conflict. This all worked on original OS and SE1.2 but I have not upgraded to WM2003 yet. If you have any other software that has the rec/volume button mapped - this may be the conflict to prevent you getting to the menus.
Good luck and Good Raiding.
Jayman.
(PS - I never enjoyed single player games on console or PC - always prefered to beat someone in the room - but it is great on a mobile platform when caught out with time to kill - yet would not carry a handheld - so this game is a godsend hence earlier post - MORE PLEASE)
Thanks Jayman.
The copy I am testing is probably a demo :wink:
guys a bit tarded :|
D pad -directs Lara
calender - gets out current weapon.
contacts - fires or actions.
record/volume button - accesses menu.

Not quite accurate.
I haven't tried the Volume button on Tomb Raider specifically, but there are plenty of games that allows you to use the volume button.
Between the ones I can remember are:
Motocross Stunt Racing, Morphgear emulator, Darxide EMP, etc.
i got the full version of tombraider and i could never get the medipk and options up to exit i had to soft reset :\ even when i remaped buttons it dont work for volume :|
Well pressing volume or any of the phone buttons does nothing.
Jayman, are you using an XDA, the phone buttons on mine do zilch, I cannot quit or get a menu once I have started a game.
Yeah I am using the XDA.
I did nothing special when I loaded it on so I can not see how yours would be different - unless you have mapped the buttons in another application that could be affecting it?
Try reinstalling and make sure all apps are closed right down before booting. Also - shouldn't make a difference - but i usually turn the phone off before playing games.
Jayman.
I have spent ages with this, without success, there is no menu at the foot of the screen, just have left/right arrows bottom right, and the movement icons, the volume key does nothing, neither of the phone keys red/green does anything.
i told you it didnt work but no one listened :| only way to exit is soft reset

i wonder why... i have an emulator, that emulates an old computer of mine, (colecovision ADAM), and IT allows me to map all 5 buttons to play the ADAM roms. hmmm
im sure its just a programing glitch.
i installed the game, great graphics.. but its too sufisticated for me
i like arcade cames, like TURJAH II, SIBERIAN STRIKE X and such.
Hey guys, it seems my x10 has a dead spot in its touchscreen. It just doesn't recognize when touched in the right top corner. It is actually exactly between the middle and the extreme right of the phone. When playing chess for example, there is a piece I can't select, tried everything without success. Is this happening only to me or not?
No it is happening to me too. Right where the magnifying glass is on the market app. Top right hand corner...

Same here, I tougth that's just mine...dead on search button in market.
No, the search in the market is fine for me, it is exactly another square by its left, and even after pressing hard or for long tries I get it to work, it just doesn'r respond.
I'm having the same problem,exactly on market search button.Started happening after 2.1 update....
ON lyk screen press
menu back back menu back menu menu back
if u using 2.1 den press home button inplace of menu
chek in service tests/touch screen
spot by yewrself whea ur self phone has dead touchh
Yes, I know this test, but it doesn't do it justice, it draws in the spot when you touch right before the dead part to just after it
when in market, i have to press search at least twice for it to function
I'm having a similar problem.
The top row of QWERTYUIOP doesn't work on the default android keyboard, but it works absolutely fine if I select Korean!
On the home screen the section is also dead & I can't use apps that occupy that space, so I have to go down to the drawer and select it from there. But if I want to use that spot to scroll between my homescreens, I can drag perfectly fine, or drag shortcuts there perfectly fine. On the keyboard if I drag I can highlight the nonworking keys, but I can't use them.
It is especially irritating on dialog boxes though.
I went into PC companion & I did a repair install of 2.1 (AT&T grr) and it didn't fix anything, just now I'm inconvenienced in that now I need to restore all my apps.

I've sent mine to the warranty, and they gave me a new one working. The new x10 had a dead pixel, then I sent it to the warranty again, but after a year (on the last warranty day), so they would not have any x10s left, and it worked, they gave me an Arc
Can anyone list or link me to a list of keyboard and mouse commands for our tablet?
I have a bluetooth mini keyboard* with a built in mouse and I would like to be able to control my tablet from my couch while it is connected to my TV's HDMI. However, I cannot figure out how to do basic tasks with the keyboard.
* The keyboard is this type:http://compare.ebay.com/like/400254296761?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y
Also, I'm not sure if the commands are tablet-specific, Android specific, or if they even exist at all. (I have searched XDA and Google, but because I do not know exactly what keywords to use, I am coming up without answers!)
Shortcuts I mainly need:
1-3) The three icons in the lower left of taskbar (they don't appear through HDMI): Back, Home, and the Prev Apps
4) Change homescreens/swipe left and swipe right (I can long click and move the mouse to do this, but it is difficult to do with my mouse since it is a knob type)
5) Long hold
6) Any other commands... heck, let's make a database if it doesnt exist already!
In case it matters: I am using ICS 4.0.3 stock (with root).
Ok, wait, I kinda figured some things out, but I still need help I think:
1) Back = (correction) RClick for some apps.
2) Prev Apps =
3) Still don't know Home EXACTLY, but while in an app, Right Click seems to exit to Homescreen... but if on a different Homescreen, pressing RClick will not bring you back to your default Screen. RClick does NOT seem to act like Back at all though.
Correction: RClick seems to act as Back in SOME apps.
4) I found that I can change Homescreens two ways:
a) Move mouse to far R/L side and click
b) Use the scrollbar for the mouse (the one used to scroll through webpages, etc); Downward = Left and Upward = Right
If there are any other methods, please list them.
5) Long Hold = Long Click
... *facepalm* I shouldve guessed this one from the start!!!!
6) Still, if anyone can fill in the blanks and list any others, it would be helpful to myself and I am sure many others.
I have a Bluetooth keyboard that I use and pressing the escape button on it seems to act as a universal back button in every app.

Hello. I'm a long time lurker, first time thread creater.
I have an Evo V from VM that's rooted, s-off, hboot 1.50 that was running CM10.1
Randomly it seems out of nowhere, the bottom strip stopped working. In other words I couldn't hit the calls button, the app drawer button, or the other 3 buttons on the homescreen. The hardware buttons still worked, and directly above the line of the homescreen dock worked. When in an app like greenify I couldn't hit the button to allow an app access, or in messaging I couldn't hit the text box to bring up the keyboard and start typing. When I went to do something that automatically brought the keyboard up I couldn't hit the spacebar, etc. At first I figured it was a hardware problem but now I'm not sure. This is because I enabled the dev option that shows you the input the phone is receiving. The little white dot came up exactly where I was touching, I just wasn't getting a response and I can't figure why. Tried the DU rom and the same thing. Tried the pacman rom and had the same problem. Yet the phone says that there is input there, things just aren't happening. This is further validated with the fact that when in 4ext, anything at the bottom of the screen where the dead zone would be, still works. Restored my CM backup when nothing else worked and for now the dead zone seems to be actually gone. But Idk how long that will last. Any ideas?
I'm guessing it's the pie controls getting in the way.
Go to settings>system>pie settings>trigger area>none
See if that fixes the problem.
So, a week or so ago I've been forced to install an OTA update (despite disabling these in settings, because see this thread), and now my navigation is screwed up.
Swiping right on the pill from any regular app correctly switches to the previous one. Doing the same on a home screen (tested with Nova 6 and Total launcher) *seems* to be doing the same, but in reality it enters a fullscreen version of "app carousel" that you normally enter swiping up on the pill.
The easiest way to spot it (and mostly how it screws me up) is that the next pill swipe right won't switch to the next app, but instead smoothly scroll over multiple of them. Another thing is that because it's the carousel and not actual app (despite being properly fullscreen), any iteraction enters the app, showing the fade-in animation. And only then you can normally use it, so it basically eats the first input you do. Except swipe up, which, like on the proper carousel, kills the app.
This DOES NOT happen with the stock Asus launcher, but I don't want to use it. It also was working well before the update, I swipe to get to the last back from home constantly.
In the attached video, you can see me demonstrating the problem:
- [00:01] First there's a regular "swipe pill up" to open the recents carousel, scrol it back and forth, start swiping up some app, this works as expected
- [00:06] Then, back on home screen, I swipe right on the pill directly, entering the bugged state despite it looking like if it just entered the Reddit app
- [00:08] But another swipe right, instead of swapping to the SCP Reader app, just scrolls thorugh a bunch of them
- [00:13] After swiping back to the first on the list, clicking a post makes a weird "pop-in" animation
- [00:15] Because now we're out of the bugged state and entered the app properly, only the next click selects a post like it should
- [00:17] Back home again, swipe right to enter bugged state like I usually get back to an app after unlocking the phone
- [00:19] Click to exit bugged state again
- [00:21] Swiping right on the pill *from an app*, which works as expected
- [00:22+] Swiping sideways on pill a few more times to show that it's *not* in the bugged state and changes one app at a time, also entering these properly right away
Does anyone also experience this? Obv I tried restarting the phone, disabling/enabling the pill and in general messing with as many settings as I could to try and poke it, but nothing still. It's SUPER disruptive in everyday use, I'd be very glad to try any suggestions/fixes.
This has been happening for last 3 updates if I recall correctly. I have switched to stock launcher until it's fixed.
Really sucks, A13 finally fixed issues with 3rd party launchers but after an update this issue appeared.
