Is there any way that you know of to make the input screens within Opera Mini become scrollable? I understand OperaMini runs in java, and that this is the reason there is no direct input fields on webpages, or no text selection, etc. I'm used to that. But when I wrote a post here from my phone that's more than a few sentences long, the text i was typing gets obscured by the soft keyboard. One would expect that this input field would scroll to keep the current letters you are inputting in view above the soft keyboard. Has anyone solved this? If not, is it solvable?
Very frustrating.

Hello,
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Searched but not able to find posts on it.
On my Hermes when typing a contact name in the To: field either in an email or SMS it would match up what you entered to the contacts in the address book. Great function.
On my Touch Pro it seems to work in a similar fashion until you type Space. When you type space it automatically fills the To: Field with what was showing up as the match at the time. e.g. When looking for "Jo Bloggs" - Typing in "Jo" would bring up Joe Smith and if I hit space it'll automatically fill in the field with Joe Smith's details.
I've switch off all of the autocompletion stuff in the options and taken of the T9 stuff.
Any help would be much appreciated.

-----------------------------------
Edit - You can switch on the T9 in the recipient field independently to main body of SMS/Email. Solves the problem but doesn't quite work the same as how it did in WM6 Pro and WM5.
Anyway - this is a minor issue but would like to hear if anyone else has experienced this.
---------------------------------
Edit - erghhh... now the T9 is kicking and suggesting words instead of names, which is what it's supposed to do, but doesn't help with filling in the Recipient field. Will carry on fiddling.
Hey,
This is exactly the problem I've been having. I list my contacts in groups (for example, people from my uni have UU in front of their names so I have a quick clear overview of everyone) but now whenever I type "UU" followed by a space it autocompletes it to the first person. Ive tried turning off all the options but no luck. This worked so well when I had the Tytn (or Mda vario II). Help would sure be appreciated! Thanks!
Possible Help
Not sure if this is a huge help, but I've get a lot of Jeff's in my contacts for work. I just type in Jeff and 1 name is shown at the bottom, but if I stop and don't hit space (which is goofy in my opinion) I can press the left or right arrow and it toggles between the Jeff's that are in my list, then press the great space key option and that person is populated.
Not sure if that helps, especially if you are clicking through 50 in that manner, but it works for my smaller lists.
Can definately flick through the contacts as described but previously on my Hermes I was able to type in a First, Surname or full name and it would match exactly the contact that I wanted. Very nifty - so it's annoying that it doesn't work quite the same in WM6.1
Currently, I'm typing the name, then hitting delete allows me to continue when I hit space... not quite the same but is a compromise at the moment.
Good to know that it's not peculiar to my device.
Hello All,
I've been searching for such an app for quite a long time and can't find it. It's amazing that I can find almost everything for your windows mobile platform but the simple finger-friendly application is missing (I have Samsung Omnia). I don't like threaded messages, it's just annoying so Vito SMS-Chat or Extreme Text are not good for me.
I need a program working in a few simple steps...
- view inbox on startup with a possibility of replay
- choose New message and input the text with big on-screen keyboard
- choose recepients (one or few, from the contact list)
- SEND.
That's it... I don't believe it's so hard to do such a software so please tell me why the hell nobody can do this!
I was wondering the same thing.
I've achieved this by using HTC Home, I click on the number of messages and I get my inbox. If I want to create a new message I've mapped a button to launch a blank message. I use HTC's Phone Pad as my input keyboard - it takes up a lot of real estate on the screen, but you can text very quickly with it.
None of these came out of the box with my O2 XDA Stellar, it took a few months of trial and error and searching for apps to find the ideal solution (for me).
Let me know if you want to see some screen grabs - I'll have to download some screen grab software...
I understand the issues with OperaMini being java based, and so cut & paste doesn't work (except for secret Menneisyys relay methods )
And one workaround is the SIP softkeyboards that have built in cut-copy-paste functions... for example, I use PCM Keyboard, and, only within input fields, which open up a text page, I can copy, paste, etc.
But I have not seen: "Clear" or "Select all & delete". For example, I am composing a reply-Gmail on OperaMini, and I want to get rid of most of the prior reply that is carried onto my compose screen. I see no way to "select all" and delete.
The best I can do is go to the end of the whole text block, and hit delete key and keep hitting it repeatedly until the space is cleared. Even that would be okay if the repeat-key delete function was super fast, but it's super slow.
Any ideas?
QuickMenu, which I use (and is built into Ivan's ROM i am using for my T-Mobile wing) has some special copy-paste-select all-select all & copy functions, but I cannot seem to use them in conjunction with an OperaMini input page.
On Esmertec Jbed you just press cancel, and it exits the text input page without making any changes.
After discovering a lot of great features on my rooted E900, a new question made me using search function, but with not much help! So: is there any tweak in registry to change keyboard from full querty to keypad (like the physical keyboard from old phones, 1 to 9 with * and # and pressing three times on two for ex to write C letter) when you write a text message or text a web adress? I find this more handy when I'm driving, because with all that small letters from full querty is more dificult. Thanks in advance, and hope there is a solution, because when you write a number in the sms recipient, that keyboard appears.
I'm trying to think of a polite way to say this, and the best I've come up with is that, while I don't care terribly much about *your* car, I'm sufficiently concerned about the random people around you that the thought of making it easier to use your phone while driving is not even slightly appealing (for the record, it's illegal here, and for good reason).
For the record, I'm not so irresponsible so that I'm texting sms and driving, especially since I have a small baby in the backseat. When I PULL OVER and try to text something, the sunlight makes it harder to see the small buttons and I always hit the wrong button. I have pretty big fingers and that's why I want to use such a keypad.
And no offence, but I will never come to Seatle, only if I will win lottery and want to meet you personally, so don't be concerned.
The question still stays. Thank you
Please... Can someone help me with keypad?
I've tried dozens of keyboards but always end up landing on Perfect Keyboard Pro as my default. Its T9 key and voice key are appropriately placed, and its basic, yet customizable layout is superb!
There is but one little annoyance. It seems to come preloaded with dictionary words that I can't delete.
For example, if I type the word after, then AfterDawn pops up as a suggested word (as much as I like AfterDawn, I just don't type it enough for it to be in my dictionary). Another example would be if I type the word only, I get Molybdenum as a suggestion (I had to look that word up).
These suggestions are not in the stock dictionary, and don't pop up as suggestions in any other keyboard I install, so it must be exclusive to PKP.
Tried emailing you at [email protected] but no response, has anybody had any luck with this app's user dictionary?
