I can't find [Left] and [Right] key on my SE w950i

I think my SE 950i, don't have [Left] and [Right] key, just [Up] & [Down] key (jog dial)

Hi Stephen,

I don't remember which version I was installed first, but I think it was W9600. I was deinstall TMJ and install W9600 version again. I put a little bit more attention on touching screen now. YES it WORKS!
My map is showing slow (296 KB of size), so i didnt't noticed moving maps. How to increase speed of showing maps?

Which maps are you using - one downloaded from the Maps page or one that you've created yourself using the Map Organiser? If you've created it yourself what 'tile size' settings did you use?

Is it still slow if you use the 'World - Simple' map from the Maps page?

I'm not quite sure why you're getting this behaviour - the Program Paused message is not coming from TMJ-Mobile so it might be that the phone itself is struggling for memory or resources or something and is pausing the program to allow it to 'catch up' perhaps? Yet the W950 is a high-spec phone so I don't know why it should have problems - TMJ-Mobile works perfectly well on much lesser Sony Ericsson models, so I'd have thought it should work fine on yours!?

A few things to try:

- Do a full restart of the phone (turn it off and remove the battery for a few seconds). It might be that other software is running on it which is interfering with TMJ-Mobile

- Where is your map file stored, in the internal memory or on the memory card? Try moving it to the other location and see if this makes any difference.

- After you load a map file monitor the phones memory usage on the 'GENERAL' Text page or via the Display/Show Debug Info option. Note the Total Memory, Memory Used and Memory Free items - how much variation is there in the Memory Used value (it is constantly changing but keeps increasing until it gets near the Total Memory amount, then drops back to a lower figure - try and note what this lower figure is roughly)?

Is it only the maps page that makes it go weird - if you dont use the maps does it otherwise seem to work fine?

Hi,

" I have some problem on my Sony Ericsson P9901i the button fire of the joypad does not work. ( [Left] [Right] [up] [down] key is OK for me). I am obliged to select menu with the number of the menu "

I assume you meant P990i !? Which version did you select from the download page? I've just tried running the program in the SE P990i emulator and weirdly the [fire] button does seem to work okay, but the [Select1] key is on the right side of the keyboard (on all other Sony Ericssons I've tried it is on the left), and the left-hand Select key (which I guess should be [Select2]) doesn't work at all. Strange!
This might be a bug in the Emulator, perhaps you could try it on the phone itself to confirm. If you enable the Debug Info (Main Menu/Display/Show Debug Info) could you note what KeyCode (KC) is listed for the particular keys that you need to use (press each key in turn and note what is listed under KC). I can then compile a version specifically for the P990. This is the current mapping (for the default Sony Ericsson version):

ZERO: 48, ONE: 49, TWO: 50, THREE: 51, FOUR: 52, FIVE: 53, SIX: 54, SEVEN: 55, EIGHT: 56, NINE: 57, STAR: 42, HASH: 35, UP: -1, DOWN: -2, LEFT: -3, RIGHT: -4, FIRE: -5, SELECT1: -6, SELECT2: -7, BACK: -8, CLEAR: -8

" Maps are really very very long to display > 1min to see more. "
Unfortunately this is dependent on the speed of phone, theres nothing I can do about this. Some Sony Ericssons seem better than others - my W910i is pretty fast, my old W800i is reasonable, though a friends K800i is a little slower...

" Problem with midlet to read or write on the phone in a folder. (The phone ask me every time I write in folder) "
In the phones Application menu make sure you select 'Ask Once' or 'Never Ask' (if available) for the Read/Write settings. Because the program isn't digitally signed you may still get a few prompts each time the file is requested. (Sony Ericsson have finally added an option into the W910i to stop the prompts completely)

" Some remarks: display(posting) of coordinates in UTM WGS84 "
Its on my to-do list but I don't know when I'll get round to it - the Maths conversion is pretty horrible, not sure if my brain can handle it!! ;-)

Now I'm confused! ;-)

So the Fire button does definitely generate the -5 keycode? If it does, then I'm really confused as to why it doesn't appear to have any other effect in the program - for instance on the Plan page (press 4) does it toggle the Autopan lock on/off (a small dot should appear in the bottom left of the screen).

Other than the BACK key all the other keys are the same. Incidentally the Back and Clear keys are identical in their function, so you should be able to use the clear key instead.

Could you possibly try the W800 version (this uses a slightly different method to work out the key mappings), and also the W960 version (might allow the touchscreen to be used when the phone is opened).

Cheers
