Playing with my new phone I've noticed an annoying bug with my pro. I'm posting this bug here since it is probably specific to the pro's slide-out keyboard feature. I want to mention the bug to HTC, Microsoft or developers and was wondering where you guys think it is most appropriate. The layout of the problem on my NoDo Chevron unlocked using this method is this:
Bug for text messaging in keyboard slid out mode
If I am in another application or just at the homescreen with the keyboard already slid out and I receive a toast notifaction of a new text message when I press the toast notification the cursor is not flashing in the send a new text message box, why would have the keyboard slid out if I'm not prepared to use it? This is annoying and is reminiscent of old WM problems.
A similar problem occurs if I am just at the home screen with the keyboard slid out and I receive a new message. This time I do not press the toast notification and instead click the messaging tile. When I hit the messaging tile after it shows '1' while still in keyboard slid out mode I again do not see the cursor blinking in the reply text box. Again this is annoying and hinders efficiency.
I'm sure both of these related issues are easily fixed, I don't know if this is Microsoft's or HTC's obligation to fix but I would like some sort of solution. While I'd like it to be an official solution I'd be more than happy to use a developer's fix .
Does this piss anyone else off?
Where should I send this bug to, or should I just send it to every party that is able to help?
I'm confused as to whether the onus is on Microsoft to fix the bug or HTC.

I have done some looking on this issue and it seems that there may be no solution, but I thought I would post in this forum nonetheless to see if anyone had any ideas. One of the little things that bugs me about my touch pro is how the title bar behaves when there are multiple notifications that are awaiting disposition. For example, when there is one reminder, say a task is due, I hit the title bar and the HTC large title bar comes up allowing me to hit the enlarged bell icon and bring up the reminder. This works great for me. However, where there are more than one notifications pending, say a reminder and an new email envelope or a missed call, if you hit the enlarged bubble, a new bar is brought up immediately below the title bar that shows all of the pending notifications -- the trouble is that these notifications on the second level are so damned small that I often need to get out the stylus just to access them. It would be great if this second level of notification bar were also enlarged to make it finger friendly. Any thoughts on whether this can be done?
The second thing that annoys me is the email envelope in the title bar. I am happily using TF3D which gives me a clear indication of how many new emails are in my inbox. However, most of the time, I need to actually open my mailbox to get rid of the little envelope in the title bar. This is redundant and a waste of time (and also exacerbates the issue above with multiple notifications). I don't think there is a solution to this problem, but again thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance.
So far I'm loving my new HD2. However, I've got just 3 nagging usability issues I need help with:
1. Email won't turn to landscape mode when I tilt the phone. SMS message turn sideways and it makes it much easier to type out a message. I'd love to be able to type email in landscape mode. I installed BsB Tweaks, but I didn't see anything to enable landscape email.
2. I can't get SMS to work in conversation mode. When I got into Conversation mode, I can't click on any messages. Isn't it supposed to expand into a threaded view after clicking on the message?
3. I have a heck of a time trying to minimize the keyboard. Shouldn't I just be able to tap the keypad icon on the bottom to minimize? I have to tap it ultra-fast to get it to minimize. Doing some tasks I can tap outside the keypad to get it to minimize, but sometimes that's not possible.
Thanks in advance fellow HD2onians.
Well, at least one issue down.
I solved issue 1. by using BsB tweaks and adding the message app by shaking it. Great tweaker program.
Issue 2 and 3 are still giving me fits.
Several input bugs I've found, maybe if this annoys anyone else some clever dev can fix them as they don't seem that major.
I'm on an HTC 7 Pro with the 7392 update.
I appreciate that WP7 autocorrects certain contractions. However, WP7 only corrects im to I'm when it is at the beginning of a sentence. If I type im on my hardware keyboard mid sentence it does not turn into I'm. Can this be fixed by a a dev or do I need to complain to Microsoft and HTC. I also don't know if this bug is specific to my HTC 7 Pro or to all WP7 phones. In the HTC 7 Pro forum somebody mentioned this bug isn't present in his Arrive.
Bug for text messaging in keyboard slid out mode
If I am in another application or just at the homescreen with the keyboard already slid out and I receive a toast notifaction of a new text message when I press the toast notification the cursor is not flashing in the send a new text message box, why would have the keyboard slid out if I'm not prepared to use it? This is annoying and is reminiscent of old WM problems. Obviously if I have the keyboard open and I begin typing it should automatically go in the text box.
A similar problem occurs if I am just at the home screen with the keyboard slid out and I receive a new message. This time I do not press the toast notification and instead click the messaging tile. When I hit the messaging tile after it shows '1' while still in keyboard slid out mode I again do not see the cursor blinking in the reply text box. Again this is annoying and hinders efficiency.
I'm typing this on my focus and I'm not using contraction symbols in the first or second I'm. Must be a slide out keyboard specific issue

Thanks for the confirmation, guess I need someone with a slide-out keyboard who it bothers enough to fix these issues since I have no clue heh.
No problem. Glad I could help.

When I receive a text message (using Google's Messenger), the screen lights up and I see the notification on the lock screen. After 1 or 2 seconds, without any input, the notification disappears before I can do anything. This has caused me to miss several (somewhat) important text messages because when I go back, the notification is no longer there to remind me to check my messages.
Any suggestions of how to fix this?
Same issue on LG V20 running Android 7.0. Started with Hangouts messages only and then spread to SMS/text messages yesterday. heads up notification displays for fraction of a second before disappearing. Same behavior with notification icon in notification bar. Shows for split second before apparently being instantaneously dismissed. Expanding notification shade shows no notification. I thought it was my messaging app Textra, but full uninstall re-install did not fix. Tried reverting to stock Android messaging app, still no fix. Reverted from Nova to stock Launcher, no fix. This is maddening! Sounds like it might be an OS bug, but your the first person to post something exactly like I'm experiencing. Hopefully more find this and report. No fix as of yet that I've found.
I had a chat with Samsung support where basically they had me first boot into safe mode to ensure no 3rd-party apps were messing it up (they weren't). Then (in regular boot mode), I had to enable all disabled apps (AT&T bloatware). Then, I enabled notifications for all apps.
This fixed my issue well enough. The notifications appear, then go away after a second, but then immediately come back. It's still quirky, but now the notifications are persistent.
Just got Oreo, and it appears there's no way to see notification text or interact with notifications using the S View Cover anymore. I can't dial or take pictures anymore either - anyone know of a fix? This is especially annoying considering that I just got a new cover as my old one was worn out. Dial/photos wasn't that critical, but seeing notification texts so that I could read incoming emails without opening the cover was.
I have the problem as flinx1, including that the clock is displayed on two lines instead of one!! Terribly annoying and amateur behavior from samsung developer.
Does anyone know have to fix this?
Disappointed with same issues--no phone or camera from S View window, and can't preview notifications.
Change clock display for S View window in Settings, Advanced features, Accessories, Clock and FaceWidgets.
