Well the functionality of my physical keyboard was short-lived. Upon needing to
force shut down and restart the Touch after using the braille terminal and
force quitting the app and unplugging the cable before shutting down my PC as
directed in the FAQ, my Touch still froze up and I had to reboot. Upon
rebooting my physical keyboard stopped working and I haven't been able to get
it working again. I am fairly certain that I am going to have to perform a
factory reset. It is unfortunate that we don't have a solution for fixing
software issues that don't involve completely wiping the device.

Although I haven't actually tried it on the Touch, I see no reason why you
couldn't do that. Although I understand the desire to be able to play BARD
content from within the Stream app, setting up the BARD app on the Touch
shouldn't be an issue at all. In fact, if I can find the time, I will play with
that today.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, because I never tried it but wouldn't it be
possible to download and play bard books through the bard moible app from the
google play store?
Thanks.
Simon.

I really hope the members of this list can keep contacting humanware
and asking them if the touch can have an NLS user key to play bard
books. The lack of such a user key is one of the reasons why I don't
use my touch all that much. I forgot what Andrew's email is, but he
would be the one to email.

Well, I guess those features are pretty good, but I was hoping for-------------------------------
more app-specific fixes, like the Victor Reader app being able to
download and play BARD and Bookstore apps and keep playing in the
background and such. Ah well, better luck next time.

I upgraded to Version 5 and my hardware keyboard started working again.
Prior to this I was experiencing degredation where the hardware
keyboard gradually ceased functioning and I was getting constant
alerts about apps crashing. I was even having trouble with the
TouchBraille keyboard where finger recognition wouldn't work and
spurious characters were being entered without action on my part.
It was getting to the point where I was ready to do a factory
reset. Updating to version 5 appeared to fix this issue. I suspect
that parts of KeySoft or Android had become corrupted. I tried
running a file system repair and deleting my cache in the boot
diagnostic menu but these did not fix my issues. I'm glad I was
able to resolve them without having to wipe my Touch, but it was extremely
frustrating to have to wait for a KeySoft update in order to resolve them.
I would like to see a feature where an in-place re-install could be
performed without having to wipe the entire unit if you can still
operate it. Clearly this is possible since this is how the updates
are performed, but I would like to be able to re-install KeySoft
without having to wait for a KeySoft update to be released. With
individual app updates being released in the future, I suspect that
entire KeySoft updates that re-install core system files will not be
released very frequently.
