[Q] Swype Problems

Hey guys I know this is in the wrong forum but I installed swype on my Evo 2.2 stock no root and I can clearly see the options in my settings but it doesn't work....any suggestions ?

Did you change the input method by long pressing in a text field? If the option isn't there check your keyboard settings in settings and enable swype.

[Q] [Answered] How to disable vibrate on lock screen?

I'm trying to find how on the Thunderbolt you disable the vibration on the lock screen--in particular, the vibration feedback when using the unlock pattern.
I know there's a haptic feedback option in Security settings on other phones, but don't see that option on the Thunderbolt under Security.

Try downloading spare parts and disabling haptic feedback there.

It's already disabled in Spare Parts. I'm running the the Perfect Storm 1.1 ROM if that makes a difference.

Don't know why the keyboard feedback controls the lockscreen BUT The way I disabled mine was Settings/Language & Keyboard/Text Input/ uncheck vibrate when typing

I don't know why either, but that fixed it for me. Thanks!

Keyboard arrows

Not sure why it happens but the arrows at the bottom of the default HTC keyboard sometimes disappear.
It's not unpredictable, in certain apps they just don't show like now when using xda but on browser address bar they are back again.
To me this seems not a bug but something designed in this way. Just could someone tell me how to make them stay no matter what app you are using? Really like them.
Thanks.

[Q] Sense Screen Brightness Widget - Automatic Brightness?

So, I'm digging the stock Sense settings widgets for quick on/offs from my home screen. Wifi, hotspot, etc are all incredibly convenient. I'd like to use the screen brightness one also. It basically toggles the backlight in one-third increments, and its indicator "lamp" has three segments to tell you where it stands.
BUT... I like to keep the brightness set to automatic, from the settings-display menu. And if I ever want to override this (movies, etc.) with the widget, there's no way to set it back without going into the full-blown settings menu.
Would be niiiiiice if HTC updated the widget to support automatic brightness. Heck, they could even make it work so that just the middle indicator segment would light up to let you know you're in automatic state.
Hope they're listening. Meanwhile, does anyone know of a decent, ad-free alternative? Or can the stock one be modded?

There's the advanced settings toggles that add that and many other settings to your drop down menu.

Thanks for the reply. Where might one find these advanced settings toggles? I've been through the phone pretty deep at this point and can't recall seeing them.

The Android settings widget that comes stock on the HOX will cycle 3 different brightness levels + auto brightness.

It's a mid you'll need to flash, on deodex rims only.

Thanks, both. I'll check themout and keep my fingers crossed that HTC eventually does the right thing with their own widget.

[Q] Flicker Function? (Hides Virtual Button Bar)...

Has anyone seen or is aware of a function on stock ROM called Flicker? If you check out the CQA.apk, when performing a display test, there is a function called Flicker. When you swipe the screen upwards from the bottom of screen it hides the virtual navigation bar, and the same action makes it reappear. If this is a native function built into the system, would it be available to be used at will when using other applications? It would be great to hide the nav bar whenever you want, to open up screen space, with a simple swipe. It would be nice if a dev with knowledge of compiling could check into this and see if it's a function that can be enabled within the system and not only for the CQA test app (which if I'm not mistaken is for engineers of the Q to test functionality of all hardware on system).

In CM10 you can use 'Expanded desktop' option from power menu (the menu displayed after you hold down the power button) to hide/unhide the virtual navigation bar.
Just make sure that the 'Expanded desktop' item is enabled under Settings>System>Power menu.

Unfortunately I wish to remain stock and still mod my system, no need for cm10 until cdma is functional on it...is there a way to enable that same function on asa14? And still, has anyone heard of "Flicker!?
