Started mouse toggle and stupidly assigned the select/center pad button as the toggle. Sure enough the mode toggles but the app does a great job of not passing the select. It even survives a reset and power cycle.
I have tvQuickActions Pro setup with a key to launch settings so I can get to the app listing but still can’t Force Stop.
I have tried two physical mice but the LED light doesn’t come on and the cursor doesn’t move. Is there a mouse that will plug in and work without configuration? I tried a keyboard too but it didn’t seem to work.
I’m on a long term deployment so I am away from home so I have limited resources.
Any suggestions on how to kil the mouse toggle running app?
If you can get to settings then you will probably be able to stop it. OTG cable and mini keyboard might get in. Otherwise you might have to reset. Take the batteries out of the remote and see if you can get something to connect.
I can get into settings but to use force stop on the app you need to select that function. Mouse switcher is capturing the select button so the system doesn’t see the button push.
I’m thinking a physical mouse on the usb port should work but neither have been recognized.
Since there is an actual usb port I don’t need the OTG cable like the original box did.
Yeah that’s correct, I would try that or a mini keyboard plugged into that USB. Only reason I suggest a keyboard is it has mouse too in case you need it.
As long as the phone and the Onn box are on the same network it should work at the very least to access settings. Once the app is installed on and configured on your phone it should communicate through your local network not the internet. Worth a try.
It would be great if there was a boot option to select which apps run on start up and then remove the problem app.
There is a reset menu, power up holding the reset button. But none of the options let me get to something like I imagined. This reset menu is where the factory reset is though.
Maybe I can buy another keyboard locally tomorrow.
Update:
Mouse works fine on a factory fresh device
Phone App can’t connect to device because the device is not on the network
Reboot menu, hold reset button while powering on, has a boot to bootloader option but nothing ever loads. No other choices except factory reset.
Nothing that requires the select button can function because mouse toggle is intercepting the command. Even multiple or long presses fail.
Well the ONN should be connected to the LAN the moment it is fired up. Not the internet. But the ONN seems to be a real problem for a lot of ppl, from no local file browser to issues like yours. Way to many IMHO and makes me even more happy I jever got one.
Good morning Miki,
I tried a number of the Onn remotes on my mobile and they were mediocre as best unlike the Firestick one, I will tell you what works the absolute best with almost all functions … The Google Tv app. I tried it by accident. It’s the one. Having said that, I just got the same bt/ir keyboard as you recommended awhile back. Entering test for search has never been easier and the mouse pad is great when needed. I would recommend trying google.
Looks like I’m headed toward a complete rebuild. With the primary select key mapped to the mouse toggle I effectively block myself from selecting anything.
I even need the selection process to add a Bluetooth device.
My USB keyboard and mouse work fine on a new non-modified unit but are not recognized on the modified unit.
Well this is the one I just got but there are many. It has a $5 off coupon in Canada so unsure of your price but anything in the USA is cheaper than here.
