Hi,
I am wondering where the sensor for the keyboard is. Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance,
Erlend

You mean to "sense" if its open or closed? -- been looking for that FOREVER and have found nothing. The only thing you can really "sense" is if there is a Hardware keyboard present in the device by using the Native GetKeyboardStatus() function OR by checking the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Shell\\HasKeyboard"
Found it. What is there to it?

Nothing much... If the device has a Hardware keyboard that value will be "1" otherwise it'll be "0"... The GetKeyboardStatus() function can tell you a little more about the Hardware keyboard. Click this link for documentation on that function
I have no clue why but file explorer will no longer do landscape (rotate). I have installed new roms since however still won't work. anyone know why this is?
thanks

It's not meant to.
You can use BsB Tweaks to set file explorer to work with auto rotate, or try PLToggle in my sig - it gives rotation with a long-hold of the call button, so it's only when you want it.
lol. I must have been spoiled by custom roms from the get go since they always had it. Please excuse my ignorance!
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
You can enable File Explorer autorotate by changing the 'AutoRotation' value from 0 to 1 here...
HKCU/Software/HTC/GSensor
Soft reset obviously.
PS This also provides autorotation in Excel Mobile and some other applications too. It should work in Word but doesn't appear to.
Try changeScreen. Works reliably for me, better than BSB.

The above registry entry does not seem correct.
On my HD2 WM 6.5 stock rom, it is
HKCU/Software/HTC/HTCSENSOR/GSensor

Hey guys finally someone has gotten smart enough to make the first multi touch keyboard. It's called Smart Keyboard in the market and its free. It's still in beta and is very buggy and ugly. They keyboard is going in the right direction, maybe someone can build on it and perfect it? Thanks.
Care to share some pictures??

You can see the screenshots in the market. And it doesn't look THAT bad. Basically a white version of the stock keyboard.
Multi-touch seems to help my typing a lot. Even without the auto-correction (which is supposedly going to be added in the Pro version later on), I can type almost perfectly, compared to the many mistakes I make with the stock keyboard.

I agree its definitely a step better than the stock keyboard. One problem is that it doesn't show the letter when you hit it, it's just blank. Cant wait for a pro version or for someone to make a more improved app.
very nice keyboard indeed. the vibrate option doesnt work on my n1. its also missing the voice input but istill like it because it implements multitouch correctly unlike the stupid stock kboard
So I just downloaded app and selected it from language & keyboard settings but I still end up with the stock KB. Any ideas on how to switch it?

Hold down on a text box and it should say "Input method". Click that and should display the keyboards you have installed/enabled.

Alright fixed the problem thx!
Still needs quite a bit of work. All in all, it sort of reminded me..why exactly do we need a multi-touch keyboard now? Sure ive used the iphone keyboard....but it doesnt make a world of difference if the OS isnt built around the function.
fantastic find. using it to write this response and this is an amazing fix for me. not sure if it is the multitouch or not, but either way i like it
pretty good missing some features but i feel a bit more accurate with it.
Not bad! This has a lot of potential...
ill run it again once the bugs/fixes are worked out

vibrate works fine - just very faint.. it's a light pulse rather than a strong/long vibrate.

You can tell its multi touch if say you hold down the A key and then press the J key it will type the A then the J right after it.
Wish they could add holding Q for number 1 etc like the HTC one!
Only thing I really want.

Multitouch lets you type faster.

That's what I was thinking..voice support and corrections/predictions and this is gonna be hawt =)
Lot of raw potential
anysoftkeyboard is pretty good too. much better then stock and lots of options. also was recently updated.
No auto-correction?
Just FYI, Swype works just fine on the HTC Sensation and is still the best/fastest keyboard for any device (IMHO).
The Beta program at Swype is currently open to new members.

I am having issues with swype on htc sensation. I am not able to get french and german languages. I only have english us/uk, portuguese, italian and spanish. I used to have french and german with swype on my htc magic. Anyone with a solution?

Oh, I wasn't aware. Thank you very for pointing that out. Gosh, I'm missing swype badly.
Hi

Press the text box (where you want to type, so the address bar in the browser) click input method from the box that comes up, then Swype.

The swype install page returns:
Sorry this is not an Android phone.
Browsing with the Default Internet Browser on an HTC Sensation.

Disregard.
I've registered with two different emails and I've requested to have the activation resent but they don't send anything. I've checked my junk mail. Does anyone have the actual apk or am I stuck?
Have to say it looks awesome with qHD now supported, works very well too

Just be patient, when I first registered it took a few days to get it.
Alright, I just want it so bad. I'm so used to it. Thanks.
What's the difference between Swype and Trace which is already on the sense keyboard? Also, can you use a standard phone keyboard with Swype? I've been using the standard phone keyboard in portrait, but when I turn the phone to landscape to bring up the full keyboard, the trace function is missing. It only works when the portrait keyboard is set to full keyboard.
got it.
still puzzles me why HTC decided not to load Swype on the Sensation and come up with their own...
anyway, what is up with the part of the agreement saying it can/may read your passwords, credit card info, ect?
edit: never mind... didn't realize it's a standard Android message for non market typing app... doh! lol

One sucks and one doesn't lol (j/k). Swype has been around a while been adjusted and tweaked based on feedback of millions of users. Trace, while a nice attempt by HTC to add the same functionality doesn't come close

I'm glad that they didn't load it on the phone, this was we get to get the most up-to-date version.

I'd say try it again now. My brother was trying all night to get the email sent & it never went through. Went back today to get the verification email resent & it was instant.
