Hi guys and thanks for this awesome forum.
I tried out different ROMs on my Feiteng N9500.
After a while many ROMs have both assigned the BACK and MENU keys to keynr. 139, which is supposed to be only the MENU key.
I checked this with the "keynumber tracker" app.
So now both my BACK and MENU keys open the Menu.
If I flash the stock ROM however, they both work fine.
And this used to work fine on other roms aswell.
I did go into factory mode and accidentally press some of the chinese stuff, that may be related.
But the Stock ROM works.
Any Ideas how to make my BACK key work again?

My Prime is about to go off warranty so today I attempted to install the Unlock Device Tool app - without success.
The apk opens to the usual dialog - "Do you want to install this application? It will get access to: etc., etc."
The problem is that the Install button at the bottom of the dialog doesn't do anything. (The Cancel button works just fine.) I tried installing from both MicroSD and Internal Storage, with both touch-screen and track-pad, with keyboard attached and without, cold booted too. Nothing helps. And, yes, installation from unknown sources is enabled, though I even tried disabling and re-enabling. Tried installing a different apk and encountered the same problem.
I'm running JB 4.1.1 - 10.4.2.18-20121122. I recall having the same issue on one of the earlier ICS releases but it resolved after a later upgrade.
Can't find any previous discussion on this though.
Would sure appreciate a solution, if there is one. :fingers-crossed:
I found a workaround. Maybe it will help someone else.
I hit the "I" key on the keyboard, hoping that might select the Install option. Instead it selected "Cancel". (WTF?) So I hit the Tab key and the selection highlight shifted to Install. Finally I hit the Enter key and the app installed.
So now I am successfully unlocked, TWRPed, finally rooted again, and ready to try custom ROMs!
Hello peeps,
I have a problem with the home key in S3. Single press does nothing i.e doesn't come to home screen. If i am not wrong it happened after some app updates. The key itself is working fine because holding it brings up the task manager. The launcher is Golauncher ex,changing launchers didn't fix it.
Anyone had it before? I am waiting to see if something can solve this before factory reset.
Could be a rom related option to customize hardware keys, I'd suggest going through rom settings. If you're running stock then I think the only solution is to factory reset your phone..
factory reset made it work and then after some app installation didnt work again. Back to a nandroid old version and no auto update app.
Help!
I have a unlocked AT&T Motorola Backflip (I know its old) and have been trying to install Android 2.3.7 CyanogenMod7. I go through making a recovery image and use Superuser to do a Wipe All. I then flash from the SDcard the zipped file. Everything appears to work fine. After the reboot the phone comes up in the Home page where I can see the apps ect. The issue is that when the phone goes to sleep or restarts I am at the initial power up screen ( where you would select phone, home or return). It is at this point that the home button fails to do anything. I get a short vibration indicating that the phone recognizes I have pushed the button but nothing else happens. When I restore the recovery image everything works fine.
It appears that the link between the home button and the location of the home page is missing.
I would really appreciate expert advice on how to proceed.
Thanks

CyanogenMod 7.1 mapping
Thanks for the information. If I may pose a follow-up. Based on my description, do you think there is different mapping with Android 2.1.1 and Andriod 2.3.7?
Also, is there a way to tell what mapping is being used in Android 2.3.7 or CyanogenMod7?
I appreciate you help.

Hi,
My daughter has one of these (Blaupunkt 800).
Unfortunately she has lost the password to get her past the first screen.
There is no data on board which needs saved, but she cannot now use her tablet.
There is a reset hole and two buttons (on/off and home)
I've tried numerous combinations of pressing the reset button in conjunction with various key presses, with no joy.
Has anyone had any experience of this tablet, or can anyone suggest a combination of button presses which will factory reset the tablet?

How many times do you search for something for three days, then ask for help on a bulletin board, then a few hours later find the answer and feel like a complete fool?
Well that never happens to me!
Well only the once!
Or twice!
OK, a few times!!
Anyway I found this information from data on a number of other sites.
How to enter recovery mode on a Blaupunkt 800.
The blaupunkt 800 is based on the same family of tablets as the TrekStor surftabs.
To get into recovery mode, use the following steps.
1.Press and hold Power+Home Buttons
2. Release the Power button as soon as you see Blaupunkt Logo on Screen.
Now you should be in recovery mode, choose what you want to do by pressing Home Button which will move down the list.
When you get the option you require , just press Power Button to select, and follow the prompts.
In my case I just wanted to factory restore, but you can reboot with different mods, clear caches etc. as with normal android devices.
Good luck
Phil

I've got a Blaupunkt 940 (Cape Town US). I am having a hell of time getting Google Apps installed. I've tried all the Jelly Bean apk's and some services wont even install. I finally found the correct version (I think) and the play store wont' connect to the server. I have internet access, installed framework and login serves apk's. I tried to flash all the google apps via .zip but can not get my 940 to enter recovery mode with the above, it just says update failed. I have updated the firmware of the Blaupunkt using the above method but it goes right into the update menu, not a typical recovery menu with options. My FW upgrade worked fine BTW. Any help with this thing would be great, all I want is google apps! It is android 4.1.1. Thanks everyone!

Hello all,
I have the same problem with a friend's Blaupunkt Discovery 1001A.
I should reset the tablet because she forgot her gesture. Normally it's easy, just start into Recovery and reset the device.
But I'm too stupid for this. This method above does not work for me.
USB debugging is disabled, too. So I can't work with adb.
Has anyone a working solution for me? I despair of it....
Thanks in advance
