Long-Press Menu Key - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Why doesn't long-pressing the menu key bring up the keyboard like other Android phones? Any fix for this? Thanks.

Why won't my ps3 play wii games? Any fix to this?

The answer to your question is obvious. The answer to mine is not quite as clear now, is it? Your question in no way even mirrors mine. Not even as a smart ass attempt at humor. It's not clever, nor does it reflect any proposed "flaw" in my question. I bet you'd have a very tough time explaining how your question functions as a response to mine. I'd like to see you try.
Anyway, Samsung left a track pad out of the design of this phone, making a soft keyboard the only way to arrow up, down, left and right. They also chose not to have the keyboard pop up when long-pressing the menu key, which is a double slap in the face.
Just about every Android phone out there will pop up the soft keyboard when the menu key is held down. Not this beaut. So does anyone have a solution?

actually his reply does correspond to your first question.

For that matter I can't figure out why my truck has no trunk. Help please?

The first one was a stretch. This one is simply pathetic. Instead of attempting to explain your first weak shot, you throw another worse one. Brilliant. When people get frustrated and unable to come up with an appropriate response, this is exactly what they do. Relax, pal.

PS3 isn't a "they" and Sony didn't "decide" not to make "their" (not "there") system play Wii games. It wasn't a decision they had a choice in making. You have no idea what you're talking about. Please try again.

Tell me, please, what does "principle" mean? It doesn't sound like you quite understand. And we're all very proud and impressed with the way you've stooped down to intelligent name-calling. Very mature. Everyone appreciates it.

[App] First Ever Transparent Android Analog Clock

emmmmm i made a completely transparent clock like a month ago for my rom THE BEAST in the mytouch forums,
First off the one you had on your rom the beast was my idea. You forgot I PM'd you and suggested that you create a transparent android clock?
Secondly the one you created does not look anything like the clock I have above. My clock is completely stock. Only thing modified is the transparency.

I definitely wasn't offended. I did not create this clock hoping I would get a bunch of "wows" over it especially since all I did was add transparency. Anyone could of added the transparency. It was a very simple mod.

Honestly I am real confused right now. I don't see how I'm being a "****" when I said anyone could of easily did what I did to the clock and its a simple looking clock? I'm done with this conversation cause now I'm really getting mad. This makes no sense to argue about the clock being simple and plain when I clearly agreed with you. Please lets just get back on topic and end this argument. I'm glad that you voiced your opinion on the clock being plain, but me being a "****" is uncalled for especially since I said nothing wrong.

They replaced the smiley button with the return button, and if you hold down on it you can use smileys.
I'm not so sure what's not in the free one that the donate one has, but I already bought it. Although it outlines it in the description.

I'm dying for an idea to help you guys

Hello. I'm sure a lot of you know that I am an app developer. I have a lot of passion for Kindle fire development and I want to help by creating an app that is useful for Kindle fire users...but what. I just don't know what I should make. I need ideas. What do you want to make your experience better on the Kindle? Anyone? Any CRAZY or BOLD ideas are appreciated.
Help me build the launcher that everyone wants. I have the idea, the Photoshop, but very little coding experience. :good:
Volume widgets would be nice. Like + - and a slider.

I might could help you on this. Your launcher idea looks great. The thing is that i still haven't done much open GL yet. In fact i couldnt make a simple shape in openGL because it keeps force closing but once i get better i can hit you up.

Well, whoever wants to help (including you) may do so. I refuse to make it a paid app though, because that's just wrong considering it's based on Amazon's work. Heh.
I'd gladly give back by helping with whatever apps people are creating since I KNOW Android developers lack in that department for the most part. :silly:

Has anyone tried Windows 8 for Android? (Launcher)

I am a user of Launcher 7, and even though it is great, it is always unstable for me - especially as you add more tiles.
I came across this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nYWJlbGljMTIzLmRlc2t0b3A4Il0.
Reviews seems good and it looks nice, but it doesn't really go into detail on what it can and can't do.
Like:
Can you customise each tile?
Can you use your own images for a tile?
Can you add, remove and sort tiles easily?
Is it stable?
Is it fast?
etc etc
I know it's only £1.26, but if it isn't worth it, then it isn't worth it, you know.
i haven't used it, but it looks like it was made from a cheap, fail dev.
Dont buy.
