Use HID consumer key (etc.. volume+, play / pause ) in HTC android 4.4 or IOS7.0 not working

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2541

Hi~

I used HIDEmuKbd (1.3.2 version) project,

Test HID consumer key (etc.. volume+, play / pause ) then can work properly on WIN8 and IOS7.1 and Android 4.4 (Sony cell phone) system.

But then can't in HTC android 4.4 or IOS7.0 working, In this case, Just only normal key (Usage Page 0x07, ect.. A B C D) can be used.

Mouse function have same problem (in HTC android 4.4 system).

Our customers provide Nodic (nRF51822) product, No this problem.

Maybe they different in that HID descriptor, But i don't have idea to modify it.

So ~ how can i modify firmware let consumer key to be useful.

note: In this case we don't used any APP for test, Just device with OS connect test.

    Hi Mars,

    I can reproduce your problem. It seems from the sniffer log that my 4.4.2 Nexus 7 doesn't enable notifications for the consumer control reports.

    Are you able to check what the report map looks like for the working device?

    Using e.g. BTool you can do
    - Connect
    - Advanced commands
    -- ATT -> FindInfoReq (populates the attribute table at the bottom)
    -- GAP -> Authenticate
    -- Find Report Map in the attribute list, then double click.
    -- Click Read on the dialog that pops up for report map, then copy and paste the result here.

    You can also go to http://www.frank-zhao.com/usb_desc_req_parser/ and see what those bytes mean.

    Best regards,
    Aslak

    Hi Mars,

    I wasn't able to get Nexus 7 to operate the CC keys with the one you say is working either. I will have to refer this to some colleagues who know more about the HID stuff.

    Hi Aslak,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Maybe consumer key can't operate on Android 4.4.2 (some cell phone) not about HID descriptor different.

    I tried used this HID report from BTool, does not working on HTC new one (Only CC Key & Mouse function).

    Hi Kadari, 

    Those buttons are supported by default in iOS7. Have you looked at this design?

    Hi,

    Looks like Android has fixed this issue(Host not enabling notification for consumer reports) on v4.4.4. Can you check on a device supporting v4.4.4?
