Hi all,
I am new to this forum, so please bear with me if I have posted in the wrong section.
I am with T Mobile UK and I have the MDA Vario IV.
Recently, I have had a strange problem when using my slide out keyboard. When I use the onscreen keyboard, I can see the text as I type. However, when I use the slide out keyboard, I can see the cursor moving as I type, but I can't see the text being typed. This happens when composing an SMS, typing into Google's search box, entering log in details for Facebook, etc etc.
As I am Deaf, I obviously use SMS and emails a lot, so this is a problem, as I find the slide out keyboard MUCH easier to use than the onscreen one.
Hope you can help.
Wayne.
How fast do you begin typing after you slide out the keyboard? I know sometimes when I begin typing too quickly after sliding it out that the cursor will move while I'm typing but no letters will be displayed...but then they all pop up at once.
Have you used a tweaking tool or registry editor to turn on ClearType in Landscape?
There is a known issue with the font not displaying.

Hi mate...
Ahhh, that could be it...let me try it & get back to you.
You are correct David....that WAS the problem!
Thanks - all working fine now
keyboard lag solved - possible software conflict
I had tried all the above fixes and they helped, but did not fully alleviate the lag. I was getting annoyed and wishing my hermes was still alive.
Then I remembered that the only real difference in my keyboard setups between the fuze and the 8525 was that I was using the iphone like full qwerty sip instead of the keyboard sip. i selected the finger unfriendly keyboard sip, and voila the slide ouy now has instantaneous response. no lag at all.
It seems to be that the full qwerty sip option forces a t9 function even when you have all that turned off.
Happy again except for the laggy shift between portrait and land scape.
now to find an iphone sip clone that doesnt affect the slideout. By the way this is with the recent stock att rom.
further issues with keyboard
The lagging keyboard issue continues to nag me. it seems to be related to the fuze having a difficuly time with switching to landscape mode. for instance in opera mini when i switched to landscape to type this there is no lag. if I am using messaging for text or email, when I switch to landscape, the lag occurs until I change the sip. it doesnt matter which sip i change to or from, just that it gets changed. i suspect that it has something to do with resetting the keyboard drivers. anyone else noting this problem. Anyone know of a fix? I have t9x turned off, cleartype turned off.
Hello Community, this is my first time posting but I have used this site to answer all of my other android questions so I know this is the right place. I have spent three days now on this 'issue' and still I have found no resolve.
My Mother bought a MyTouch 3G Slide the other week and she has very poor vision. The best solution I found for her was to change the DPI on the phone to make EVERYTHING big. This seemed like a good solution except the Phone.apk / in call dial-pad is off the visible screen. I am not looking to fix the dialer there are numerous apps that will put that in the visible area, it is just that in call dial-pad, and since my Mother actually used a phone to make calls this is an issue to her.
The only way I can think of to fix this is to make a custom phone.apk for small screens, if anyone can help me do this, or has a better idea please share and THANKS in advance.
Technical Info: Default DPI=160; Custom DPI=220.
This make the 3.4inch diagonal screen into a virtual 2.6inch one.
Screen Shot of the Issue (Phone.apk does not work to show in-call dial-pad due to me trying alternative ones atm but dialer illustrates the issue.)

Please if anyone has any idea I would really like to get this done as soon as possible.
Ok by accident today I fount a possible alternative. When the phone dialer is displayed even though it is out of proportion when I click on the area where numbers being dialed are displayed a soft keyboard with 0-9 is displayed.
However the Phone is a myTouch Slide, with a physical keyboard so holding the menu button will not bring up a soft keyboard. Is there a way to bring one up in calls even though a phone has a physical one? Also the physical keyboard is not a option for my mom when she would be in a call with someone and need to dial a button.
My latest version of Swype (Ver. 3.26.92D.38303.t0.8611.ENSP) covers the text entry field so I can't see the text that I am inputting.
I didn't have this problem when using the previous version of Swype on Android 4.0. However after installing Android 4.0.4 and updating to the latest version of Swype that is supposed to have ICS support, I now experience this issue.
Does anybody know how to fix this? Is it an ICS issue (i've noticed it with other keyboards as well but it's worse with Swype) This has rendered the GoSMS popup window useless and also happens in the browser when inputting text as well as other apps. Very annoying.
I've been using SlideIt as a temporary measure but it sucks and the issue still happens with SlideIt as well but when I close the keyboard and reopen it the text field will move upwards and with Swype this doesn't work.
Did you type in portrait mode or landscape mode. for me portrait mode works ok. but I suffer the same problem in landscape mode.
Sry about my English. hope you understand.

i rarely use landscape mode.
This is so annoying i've stopped using swype. no replies, does this not effect anybody else???
I like to use a bt keyboard with my note 10.1 but every time it connects I get that famous message suggesting the OSK be switched to the Samsung one -- after which it switches. It ia also annoying to see the osk popup when edit fields are entered; Do any custom roms fix this?
