Has anyone tried this remote?https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00U3PFUAC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A34OAPZOHWTNSP
Does the mic work with Google now? Does the home button take you to launcher home? Can you turn your TV off and change volume,? Cheers

I've tried a few remotes with a few android boxes I've had and this one is the best I've found. I bought the one called 'Aerb' but you'll see a number of resellers on ebay selling the exact same device. It runs on 2 AAA batteries.
What I really really like is that the four coloured buttons on the bottom AND the big red power button on the
top left are learning/programmable IR blasting, so you can program them to turn your TV on/off, change inputs, increase TV volume etc. using your TV remote. The other buttons are not programmable.

This is the best remote by far I have purchased for this box. I am far away from my player right now but I will try and confirm if the mic works with it asap...

Does the home button bring you to the home screen ? And by programming the bottom color buttons to change the volume or do the actual volume buttons work? Also its to bad the buttons don't light up . Thanks that would be awesome if you could check the mic . Also are you able to like use the remote underneath a blanket or do you have to point it at the dongle?

- yes
And by programming the bottom color buttons to change the volume or do the actual volume buttons work?
- you program the coloured buttons on the bottom using your TV remote, so they will turn the volume on your TV up and down, NOT the vol on the android software.
Also its too bad the buttons don't light up.
- no they do not.
Thanks that would be awesome if you could check the mic .
- *** I cannot seem to get my mic working with voice search. The remote I have purchased has a microphone, but has NO microphone button to enable the mic. There are reports of users who have got their mic working. See here for a picture of a remote with a mic button (the blue one in the bottom right corner) http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=203623
Also are you able to like use the remote underneath a blanket or do you have to point it at the dongle?
- you do NOT have to point the remote at the dongle. It does not work with line of sight like IR remotes. The distance limit is about 15 metres I'd guess. Farther with better batteries
Using the stock ROM, the following keys work:
home button
play/ pause and FF RW buttons
context menu
OK and d-pad button
keyboard letters
Using stock ROM the following keys DO NOT work for me:
soft volume up/down
mute
microphone doesn't work
BACK key doesn't work (this sucks, it registers as a 'right mouse click' under stock rom - doesn't do anything, must use home key instead. it also doesn't work under lollirock either. Luckily under lollirock the soft 'recent apps, home and back' buttons are always visible, so I just use that soft back arrow on the screen.
all of the 'alt keys' on the keyboard - ie the function keys, ! mark etc. These all work fine under lollirock.
I also have a generic android box running full android 5.1 and almost all of the keys on this remote work fully with it, including the hard back key.
Let me know if you've got any other questions!

I have a logitech laptop USB mouse that works w/ the dock, except for the scroll wheel. Is there some kind of settings screen for the mouse once you plug it in? Do I have any chance of getting this working properly? I also can't seem to hold down the button and highlight text for cut/paste.
Thanks,
Brian
Scroll wheel works fine here with a Razer Orochi
You can't highlight text on holding button since Android doesn't support it, just hold mouse button (like longpress on the screen) steadily and you'll be able to select text
My scroll wheel kind of works in some apps. It is useless though as it skips one line at a time and doesn't always even do that. Is there a way to get to a mouse configuration or setup screen somehow?
Hi everyone
I just changed the screen of my hd2 but when I put the cover the volume button doesn't work.. I can push it with a sharp object (screwdriver, toothpick) so in fact it's not broken but it's a bit boring tu up and down the volume..
I'm on android (ICS) and I want to know if there are any alternative "tweaks" to replace the "real" button ? Like on iPhone when your home button is broken you can download a tweak via cydia..
If someone can help me, it will be great
Thaaanks !
PS : Sorry for my english..
no one know ?
There are widgets and apps that you can use to change volume within Android, but if your device uses the volume buttons for CWM then you'll need the physical buttons working.
Well you should be able to go to your settings and volume options and adjust it that way, alternatively clicking on the clock on the bottom right corner should bring up a menu that volume is normally located.
@spunker88 Yes for cwm I use the physical buttons.. What's the names of the apps and widgets ?
@Bernie Nolan Thanks dude
But the main problem is when I'm doing a phone call I can't up/down the volume..
I use Volume widget, you can select which volume you want to adjust (music, ringer, etc) or have a widget with multiple volume toggles. Its pretty nice and free. During a call you would have to go back to the home screen to change volume.

Thank you I just downloaded an app on the market
Hi all,
I have just bought a Targus bluetooth presenter for my galaxy tab. It works a treat and was only £5 so I am very happy with it. With a little editing of the key layouts I have been able to get some of the useless buttons to do things like home and menu. It all works perfectly and now I have just one thing I want to do but don't know if it is possible.
I want to map a key to be a sticky mouse down so that I can pan across the screen because it is just about impossible to hold the mouse button down at the same time as moving the track pad. The ideal is to be able to press a key - it locks down - I scroll around as needed then press the same key (or if needed another one) to simulate lifting the mouse button up again.
Is this even possible? If so can anyone point me in the right direction?
Keverso.
The Truesmart buttons on the side seem to only have one function (on/off for top, back for bottom) but is there a way to reassign a function to these buttons? Like long press for settings or volume or home screen?
The reason I ask is, if I'm using music or Maps I have to hit the back button four or five times to get back to the home screen to do something else, like adjust volume. This also undoes anything that's going on in the app I'm "backing" out of. Anyone have a solution?

All In One Gestures (app) is your answer - install from Play Store.
Allows you to configure swipes (and volume bar) .

THANK YOU! You are awesome, this solved my problem. It was driving me nuts to not have a home button!
I bought the MX10 Android TV Box for my elderly parents and want to make it as simple as possible for them to operate. One of the things that they always have problems with is shutting the box down properly. Currently, a short press of the physical remote control power button puts the box to sleep. Is there a way to get rid of the sleep mode and just automatically fully shutdown the box anytime they press power? To currently shutdown, they need to do a long press of the power button which is then followed by a prompt asking "Do you want to shutdown" and then they have to press a couple more times to click 'OK' which is more complicated than they need it to be. The box appears to have root priveliges so is there a simple code I can add to 'build.prop' so that they can completely shutdown the box with one quick press of the remote power button (rather than it going to sleep)? I have tried 'poweroff.doubleclick=0' and that had no effect so am hoping there's some code that will work?
I gather by the lack of response that there's no way to shutdown the box with one quick press of the remote power button?
Check out my problem, I got diffrent box but still...
I bought andorid box that came with remote, power button worked, also there are buttons that can be set up for managing TV, I've set those up to...few days late only those tv buttons work, non android key is working...I go on ali express and order air mouse type remote, infra red one. Plug it in, copy code from old remote to new one, everything works just fine, power buton etc. Than I go and try old remote, go figure, he work just fine...all buttons!
It worked for few months, than the other day original mouse i broken again. only tv buttons work while air remote is all ok except power button. I've tryed everything and google everything...nothing out there...I know android box is like a phone, no power but on it so no way to turn it off completely, but both remotes manage to turn it off atleast to sleep, now non of them can...
