This is driving me crazy, I cant figure out have to make the keyboard not take up the full screen. Anyoneknow?
what do you mean?? the whole screen is covered by the swype keboard when you put the phone in landscape or most of the screen is covered?
The keyboard takes up half the screen and the imput box takes up the other half. I want it like WinMo. Where it lets you type but the imput box doesn't zoom in
Well as far as I know the swype keyboard automatically takes up the whole screen while in landscape. Well mine does and it can be seen in youtube videos as well. I don't think there is a fix for this unless you want to contact the devs for swype.
Resurrecting an old thread, but I thought I'd mention that the rom Slimbean (3.0.0) (http://www.slimroms.net) has a toggle to disable full screen landscape keyboard. This fixes this issue for all keyboards, including SwiftKey & Swype.

I have a fuze and don't like the landscape manila (non TP2 version) when you slide the keyboard out. Is there a way to disable it so that manila will stay in potrait even when you slide the keyboard out? Is there a way to make it so that if your in landscape in another program say surfing on opera and close it, it will revert back to potrait of TF3D and if you simply are on your homescreen and slide your keyboard out it will stay potrait? I hate having to close shut my keyboard just to access something on manila and then reopen the keyboard to use my hard keys. I did several google searches and havn't found a solution.
bump, is it even possible?
Kinda lol
You can disable the landscape screen but it will try to put whatever screen is showing into landscape. Needless to say its not pretty.
I am quite frustrated with the keyboard on this phone and it makes texting difficult for me... I am coming from an iphone so maybe that may be the case since I may be used to their keyboard....but all I want is a keyboard like the current htc hd2 keyboard just without the arrows on it ....I find myself pressing the arrows alot on accident or pressing the wrong keys and I believe it is because the keypad is moved in a weird way to accommodate the space of the arrow keys...
I have tried the resco keypad and it is a bit small, but the main thing is that it does not work properly in landscape (it displays a portrait kepad in landscape) and the same is with the "FingerKeyB" (which has some decent theme options btw which I like)... and then there is the EzInput keypad which looked perfect for me but when I installed it, and then rebooted and tried to open sms, the portion of the screen where the sms would be is completely black and when I turn it to landscape the whole phone except the bottom bar turns black...
any help will be very appreciate, Please help me out.. this keyboard is getting the best of me...
have you tried swype? I believe its the best keyboard. i have attached the installation cab. you may also want to look at lesscro's theme for swype keyboard, Im using it its really nice, check out this link:

Thanks, I have tried swipe and did not really like it....
I wish the EzInput keypad would work because that seems like the most ideal for my request....
any other suggestions? ...maybe I will have to ask the creator of EzInput to fix it up for the HD2, or maybe I will have to take it on myself ?....
any ideas?
There are versions of ez input without arrows. I am not home before saturday night but if I forget give me a pm and I can send the link....

try here..
that is the thread I got eZinput from, but I am having problems with it on my HD2....it seems as though it is already without arrows, from the screen shots (and that is why I liked it, because looking at the screen shots I can imagine using it would be a lot more suiting to me than the standard keyboard)....
Okay... perhaps an odd question here... I'm running my Touch Pro2 with a default ROM and the default Windows Mobile lock screen. Here's my problem... I carry it in a holster that has a magnetic closure. When I pull it out of the holster the magnetic sensor in the phone thinks the keyboard was opened and rotates the display to landscape. After a few seconds it realizes the keyboard is not open and rotates back to portrait.
The issues is that I need to wait two-four seconds for this process to complete before I can use my phone. Granted, that isn't a HUGE time, but it is annoying. It won't register me attempting to slide it unlock when it's in landscape because it's thinking about going back to portrait. It would be nice to just force it to stay in portrait regardless of whether the keyboard is open or not. But of course the kicker is that it's only the lock screen that I want to act like this. Other programs should still swap to landscape if the keyboard opens.
Anyone have a clue how to do this?
Hey, I was wondering if there's any way to change the keyboard text input field on android 2.1. I have the honeycomb keyboard, but it doesn't matter what keyboard you install (better keyboard, the stock samsung, 8pen, stock 2.1....)
when you turn the phone sideways, the input field at the top covers up the whole screen- anything that the keyboard doesn't.
So, even when its just a small input bar for, say, a user name on a website, the entire top half of the screen turns into to input field.
When in portrait mode, you can click on just the google search bar and still see the rest of the page. But not in landscape.
I just would like to be able to see the rest of the page while typing. Anyone know how to do this/ mod this so its possible?
Thanks

This tablet lends itself so well to landscape mode that I have chosen to disabled auto-rotation. It gets annoying when I'm laying in bed making sweet love to my Xoom and the screen flips 90* on me.
I actually disable it on all my devices. That being this said, this is the first one i disabled into landscape mode.
Same here.
I have disabled it also. It is annoying when laying in bed and I turn to my side the screen will automatically rotates. Any games like Air Attack HD that are designed for the tablet to be vertical; it will automatically rotate the screen anyways. The only reason I could think of the use for vertical layout is for typing with your thumbs only.
I would strongly recommend buying Thumb Keyboard from the market. It is only 1.32 Euros and $1.87 US. It is so nice to type with my thumbs while holding the tablet landscape. I can type so fast when surfing the internet. It cuts the keyboard in half and moves the keys to the sides and has a 10 key number pad in the middle. Select 10 inch tablet mode in settings. Try it out. You have 15 minutes to test drive it and if you don't like it, uninstall it and get a full refund.
I leave it enabled on all my devices.
If you got it use it, that's how I see it.

I bought thumb keyboard but then I bought SlideIT (I have Swype on my droid).
I use an app call "Tablet Keyboard" same price range. They also have a free version, which is only a few keys that is removed from the paid version. Similar to the thumb keyboard. And boy is it a joy typing and not having ti be all over the place. I still use the full keyboard style when typing longer like an email or word document on my Xoom.

I tried the Tablet Keyboard and did not see an option for suggested words while typing where Thumb Keyboard does. Is this a feature I am missing or maybe in a paid version? I am pretty happy with Thumb Keyboard but always looking for something better.
