2.3, you longpress the menu. Not sure if this helps...
edit: Nevermind, this doesnt work in the browser

I'm wondering this too, the long press on menu does not seem to work. I want to play the android version of "nethack" heh.

Text message problem using Keyboard, kicks me out of Texting!

1. Scroll using touchflo to Messaging
2. select a message and choose MENU > REPLY from touch 3d screen.
3. Slide out keyboard and start typing
4. PROBLEM: it kicks me out of the text message and opens up into 'telus quick find' and continues typing what I started to type. (It boots me out of the text messaging application).
Anyone know why this is?
It shows my blinking cursor in the text messaging field.... just before it boots me out of the texting application.
Mine does this sometimes too, haven't found a cause and/or solution.
Another problem is that if I close the keyboard as soon as I press the send button, sometimes TF3D crashes.
I don't worry too much though, they only happen occasionally.

I have a similiar problem and I need to click the blinking cursor in the text field to "lock" it there. It went away after a hard-reset. Still do not understand why...
i think i can help
i had a similar problem today, my problem was it switched to landscape, in 1 second opens my dialpad then i have to close that and continue typing.
what solved my problem was installing a file called "RemoveSkcerts.cab" or something similar, sorry but i dont have it with me on my touch pro, hope this helps u out
When you hit reply, do you wait fully until the whole messaging screen pops up or do you do press reply, and immediately open up keyboard?
I used to have this problem until I realized that you should let the whole messaging screen come up.
keyboard closes
when I reply to e-mail or even SMS, when I hit the space bar (both in physical keyboard & SIP), the application CLOSES ! ! this just started happening.

Exact issue i have
Yep, mine's been doing the same for a couple of days now... Stock T-Mobile ROM UK... Only had it a month, so haven't researched enough to change anything much.
I hit reply for the text, slide out the keyboard. I start typing and about 3 words into the reply it closes the SMS window and goes back to the main screen. It's fairly annoying as bugs go.
I hope this helps you work it out.

Hi!
Post number 5 is correct.
When you hit reply, do you wait fully until the whole messaging screen pops up or do you do press reply, and immediately open up keyboard and start typing? This the cause.
I used to have this problem until I realized that you should let the whole messaging screen come up.
So let the messaging screen come up completely.
Hope this help.

tried this....i still have the same issue......tp inadvertently kicks out to either home screen, or in most cases the phone dialpad screen !!!!
i tried soft reset and then reply, then things are fine......mebbe this happns because the dialpad application does not really close properly???? although i don't really see it running in the background or anythin......the dialpad cannot run in the background......but this dos'nt explain why occasionally it kicks out to the home screen???

Kill SIP PopUp???

Anyone have a cab or reg edit to stop the sip keyboard to always pop up when u select a text field/box? Like when your using opera mobile, u touch the address bar, the sip keyboard automatically pops up. I always use the hardware keyboard (main reason for getting a fuze and not a diamond!) and still while in landscape the sip keyboard will still pop up.
I know on my tilt there was a way to set it so only when u are in landscape the sip keyboard wont automatically pop up while selecting a text field. The sip keyboard will only automatically pop up in portrait mode while selecting a text field. Anyone know how to set it up this way? Thanks!

If you have Diamond Tweaks installed, there is a registry setting under the #20 Keyboard (SIP), 20.1 Automatic display (popup). Enabling that setting should keep the SIP keyboard from popping up when you select text fields, but it will not pop up when in portrait mode by default either. I don't remember the registry setting to disable the pop up for landscape mode only.

Thanks! This will do for now at least. If somehow knows how to disable sip auto pop up in landscape while keeping it obviously in portrait that would be amazing! Anyone?

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip
"TurnOffAutoDeploy" value="1"
With Opera there is a different setting. Not sure what it is off the top of my head but if you search on the hacking section you will find it.

Thanks, ill try this out too. The diamond config as mentioned above did totally nothing for it, if anything it made it worse. Im sure a reg edit like this will kill it though. I dont use opera mobile too much, just used it as an example. I mainly use opera mini in landscape so it can get annoying when typing in a text box and every time you open it the sip keyboard pops up.

Didn't find a solution for Opera. Although it is not the issue of the keyboard popping up when i touch a text box that bugs me, its more when a page is loading and the keyboard appears for no reason
I use nullkeyboard. yeah, it completely kills the sip for everything, but one can switch it back and forth similar to choosing type of input (transcriber, keyboard, letter recognizer, nullkeyboard)

I think it has to do with flashlite 3.1... As soon as I installed it on my phone, Opera began doing the same thing. As soon I touch a flash object, the keyboard will pop up. Very annoying but I've learned to deal with it.
I am still looking for a fix for Opera.

You can try Mobilnaut SYM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459253
The main purpose of this software is to be able to use the SYM key to add accents on letters, but in addition it will automatically hide the SIP keyboard when you open the hardware keyboard:
It's simple SIP, which means it will be shown as standard input method, but when you click on the icon, no keyboard will be shown. That's useful when you are using hardware keyboard and you are trying to type something, with this SIP no software keyboard will pop up and cover half of the screen. And it's automatically activated only in landscape, in portrait mode you can use your favorite software input method. This program will remember the input method you used before, and when you slide your keyboard back, this method will be set as active.

I installed this one but since I have a FUZE keyboard, I don't have the SYM key where mobilnaut sym thinks it should be. Instead, my SYM is on FN+Space, and when I hit that, I get a pop up list with all the characters for me to pick.
I have no clue how to do it, but if we could have this app work with a key different to SYM it would work!
Hi all,
everytime I open a game like Tonyhawk Pro skater 2, or if i want to learn italian with rosetta stone software, always I see a bottom bar with the sip keyboard. For Tonyhawk its irritating cause i could see the game bigger, and for rosetta stone, it totally ****s up my layout.
I tried reg. edits. HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip
"TurnOffAutoDeploy" value="1"
Tried nullkeyboard program, even tried advanced config, but the lower bar is always there.
is there a way to open programs in full screen? or is there a way to totally kill my lower menubar for wm.6.5?

Tilt 2 keyboard/messaging bug

My new att tilt 2 frequently freezes when sliding out the keyboard while in a text message (to reply). I click on the message then slide out my keyboard while the page is coming up. screen keyboard starts to come up and the text window adjusts as its supposed to but then it freezes with an place to enter text on the bottom and middle of the screen. the only way to fix it is to pull out the battery. I am guessing this is a sw keyboard problem. Any ideas? Is it possible to disable the sw keyboard autodeploy in landscape mode?

[Q] "SEND" button in messaging with landscape keyboard

When I used the landscape keyboard to send an SMS message from my Skyrocket, the default layout of the message composition screen has the "attach" button above the "send" button, meaning I can't directly click send. I either have to go "back" to dispose the keyboard to reveal the "send" button, or carefully scroll the narrow view-port above the keyboard to reveal it.
When I used SwiftKey, I believe it had a button on the keyboard that managed to send the message. But I'm trying to use either stock or the ICS port keyboard since SwiftKey's space-bar was too narrow for my fat thumbs.
Is anyone else plagued by this? Any clever solutions?

Lol....
OP: if in landscape mode, after you type your message, hit the BACK soft button.... that will hide keyboard and show the attach option abovd the send option
I will agree that's annoying as hell. Never noticed it bc I don't type in landscape. Thank god I don't.
In landscape hit done and it will send if i remember right
Where is "Done"?

When I used Swype, it had a "Done" button I believe. But I couldn't handle Swype's narrow spacebar. Why doesn't the stock Android 2.3.5 keyboard have a "Done" button, or the back-ported ICS keyboard (shown above)?
This is so frustrating! Seems like just generally poor designing by samsung. The SGS1 didnt have this issue and a part of me wants to pull the API of the messaging off of my Captivate on to my skyrocket. Does anyone know if this is possible

[Q] How to remove cursor from always appearing in GoSMS Pro?

I'm not sure why this happens this way but just about every time I go to compose a new SMS, as soon as I start to type in the main text field, it puts up the 'select' cursor which is the little blue box that hangs over the 'W' key on the keyboard.
If I need to start typing and the first word starts with a W, I have to wait about 5 seconds for this cursor to disappear so I can then hit the letter. How the hell do I remove this and stop it from happening? I'm not sure what to look for in the settings but as of yet haven't seen anything. I'm on the latest version and it's been happening for the past few revisions.
Oh and I'm using Smart Keyboard Pro if it's possibly a keyboard issue and not the fault of Go SMS Pro itself.
[EDIT] I think the problem is that when I go to compose a new message, the cursor is blinking in the field to type but my keyboard isn't on the screen. When I click the field to get the keyboard to pop up, then it brings up the cursor which you'd normally see if you want to select text and/or past something from the clipboard. I just tested in Dolphin HD and this doesn't happen this way as the keyboard presents itself as soon as I click in the url field.
