I've got a problem that I don't seem to see any others having... although they should.

Every time I open the keyboard to type I'm greeted with the cursor handle halfway over the "w" key. If I try to start a word with a "w" it will think I want to move the handle and the swype won't take, so either I have to wait ~5 sec for it to disappear or hit another letter and backspace and then start. If you are good you can get the bottom of the "w" key but more often than not you get the handle.
It's in the most unfortunate place, too - as most phrases I text start with "w".
Where you at?
Who is coming?
When will you be here?
What do you want to do?
Why are you still here?
...etc
The stock keyboard is fine since there is the space above - why not Swype too?
So the question is - first, more theoretical, why would Android default to have the handle there when there is no text entered? (e.g. starting a text or web search)
Secondly, is there any way to get rid of the handle altogether? I've gotten accustomed to Android not having it so I'm good if it's not there but also with Swype there is little reason to go back and edit individual letters.
Maybe someone who works for Swype will see this and add the new (and much improved) word selection bar above the keyboard all the time like stock gingerbread...
Try Swype 3.0 (in beta)?

Then I'm afraid I have no idea how to fix your problem. I don't ever get the cursor handle when initially opening an input window. Mine only shows up after I touch it a second time.
I have that same problem with the cursor over the W...very annoying. I've defaulted to skipping the 'W' when I type the first word...

I just downloaded this. I have already mapped my buttons as needed. However, I constantly find myself looking for options to add something new - New Contact, New Meeting, etc. So I will just put this as one of the items righ on my strart menu and will give it a little workout! I will report back to let everyone know how it goes...
works good
It works good, just have to make sure it's installed on the device not the mem card.
Thank you .
WoW
Man, I've been wanting something like this for a while. Thanks.
It's not work with my Wizard without any error notice. Nothing happen when I click HTC Action icon...

Doesn't work on my Tilt
Every time I try to run HTC Action on my AT&T Tilt, it brings up an error saying:
'The file 'HTCActionScreen' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.'
I've done reinstalls a few times, with soft resets, etc. I just cannot get it to work.
My co-worker has the same phone and his works fine.
Any ideas?
Changing Font
For some reason the font for the HTC action isn't the same as the one in the picture. How can I change the font?

Hi everyone, I bought Samsung Epix, which is a wonderful device, except that the optical joystick/touchpad sucks.
So, I wanted to ask if you know about software keyboard that would contain only directional arrows (as for example navigating a word or two back is a catastrophe - the touchpad reacts with delay, and it takes a lot of attempts to put the cursor where I wanted - and using it in mouse mode to click between two concrete letters is a pain too).
I created a mockup of what I would like - is there existing keyboard like this, or some lightweight skinnable one for which I could make an arrows-only skin?

Great idea, but it doesn't exist because the Epix and the Saga are the only phones that really need this.
FingerKeyboard skin
Some time ago, when I used FingerKeyboard 2.0, I wanted this same thing and did it by "cheating." Make made layout in another language and put only the four arrow keys that layout. If you use FingerKeyboard, doing this isn't diffficult as the skins are just text files.
If you'd like me to dig through my old files, I can look for my skin, However, I have a lot lined up as work this week and probably won't get to it until Friday.

Thanks, that shouldn't be necessary - just a tip for a concrete configurable SIP and the 'custom language' trick is enough, thank you!
Hi, i just have some problem with focusing camera by tuching dpad,
its describe here: showthread.php?t=435061&page=5
... but i was wondering - maybe there is some software to test all of the buttons in my htc touch pro - it will be quite nice to test it.
Do a search for raphdiag.nbh. It's a diagnosis image that has a test for the buttons (among other things). You need hard spl to run it, and you need to know how to flash off your sd card. It won't over-write the rom (just don't format the nand).
its sound a litle bit complicated - i just dont wont to lose my warranty -
maybe some instaled software (.cab)
Oh, come on, sack up and flash you phone, lol. Why are you worried about your warranty? It's got to be long dead by now.
You can try this tool; it measures input to the d-pad (mostly capacitative responses). It may help with the camera button. You're not using ae button, are you? It's a bad idea to re-map that button.
no, im not usung ae button
how to run this navdbgtool.exe ?
----------------------------
ok - it can be run by download htc test.zip
is it normal that i dont have full circle - its look strange - example below

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just run it from the device, and click on it. I didn't include a shortcut, but you can send one to the start menu.
i've just edited my previus post - could you tell me is it wrong that i dont have full circle
im new user so i just cant post images and links - just copy-paste this address to see what i have in NavDbgTool img716.imageshack.us/img716/6064/htctouchpronavdbgtool.jpg
my center d-pad is working - but not with camera
this is another img with efects of using navDbgTool:

its not a full circle around dpad - its something wrong (some bad callibration)
or its just alright
maybe everyone has the same
Originally, I was planning on calling the little guy "Gyffy, GYF's sidekick." But then, I though "Oh, wait."
Of course I am still working on my other launcher but in my quest for ever faster access to anything on my phone, I realized that this may be another step forward, albeit with fewer features.
Warning: Alpha version.
No, it will not damage your phone, but it's still early in the dev process so, it is expected to break.
How do I use it?
In a nutshell: see that tiny blue square in the screenshots? Yes, this guy. Just double-tap it to open SK. Then, tap one or more letters.
Oh, and you can move that square wherever you want: long-press, your device vibrates; drag it around.
Limitations
Just about anything you can think of! Since it's such a young project, it lacks:
- preferences
- proper spelling
- resiliency
- initialization speed
- a consistent way to dismiss the launcher window; just tap in the text field or some open space underneath it
Fun yet useless features
- Right now, touching an app launches it; sliding over it reveals a menu for alternate actions but it doesn't offer any yet
- You can swipe left on the keyboard to delete letters; it's highly unreliable
Mandatory Download Link
Screenies
Yes, these were taken using the Genymotion simulator. How observant of you!

as I opposed to having a magic blue square on your screen, why not have it activated with a dragging of your finger from the edge of a section of the screen? A lot of apps do this and it's pretty easy to use lol.

Hello ,everyone!
I am recently engaged with keyboard .I wonder what is most important about a keyboard to most users.
Would you please kindly share your precious opinion with us?Thank you very much!
Main thing it is usability, example real PC keyboard - good -phone screen keyboard - suxx.
Depends per example, I use fleksy cause I like the custom themes (that you can make) and because of ther size and it just types nice

No problem, I am here to help.
For me, ideal english keyboard has numbers above letters for quick access. That's probably all I'm missing in standart Android keyboard.
But if you are thinking in non English world also, there is space for improvement in autocorrect (for example default android keyboard tries to correct every word it doesn't know, which makes autocorrect totaly useless in my language). Also it's really annoying to write special characters (for example á,š,č...), because you have to press letter, wait for a second and than choose from a sub menu. That's actually quite a big delay because you normally have to write many of these characters.
I hope it helps you somehow and sorry for my English.
For me is Accuracy and Predictions.
