I just got this phone today, and I like everything about it, except the messenger has this paper clip next to the message. On my Captivate, it used to be the Send button. The send button is below the paperclip, so I have to back out of the keyboard and then press send.
A minor inconvenience, just wondering if there was a way to remove the paper clip.
Are you using the stock messenger? My send button is always visible. Vertical and landscape view.

Hi guys, im using a fuze, it has the HTC Stock Rom on it, the thing that pisses me off about it is the damn text messaging in landscape, this is what happens, i receive a text message, i want to reply, so i put it in landscape mode by sliding the screen so i can type on the keyboard, when i start typing the freakin dialer shows up and it gets in the way, is there any way to fix this. its so annoying
Simple. If you open the SMS from your mate first, so you're in the "instant-messaging-a-like" dialogue screen, THEN open the keyboard, you won't get that problem.
If you open the keyboard whilst you're still at the HOME screen, then you'll get the landscape version of the HOME screen, and typing stuff in there will automatically take you to the dialler.
The thing to remember is that if you're looking at emails, SMSs, the Weather or whatever in the tabs in the HOME screen, the application you're using is the HOME app (Manilla), so opening the keyboard up is just going to get you that landscape version of HOME with all the application tabs. It's only when you actually open up an SMS / Email etc. that you enter the appropriate application, and at that point the keyboard is "owned" by that app and opening the keyboard up will get you the landscape version of that app instead of the landscape version of HOME.
Hope that helps.
haha, well i guess i kind of worded it wrong, what i meant to say was when i get the text message a little box shows with the message, when i hit reply which is in the lower left corner it enters the messaging application once there i put the typing cursor in the text area, when i slide up the screen to use the keyboard it kicks me out of the messaging app and then takes me to the dialer. once i close the dialer then i can continue typing
Turn off the notification box. When you get a new SMS, you get a green indicator against the SMS tab on the HOME screen anyway, so it's not necessary. When you get an SMS, it'll still play a sound and give you an indicator on the top bar. This'll get round your problem.
coming from a tilt and many other windows mobile devices im very used to the way the text messaging works, i really like the pop up notification more than just a green number.
Same Problem with MDA VARIO II
I got this problem with the MDA Vario II and I still get it with the TOUCH PRO
It would be great to fix it.
Hi all
I have a MWG Zinc II phone, and it has a really annoying flaw in the keyboard design!
There's a little key above the E on the keyboard which sends your text. Annoyingly, I keep pressing it by mistake when i type the letter E! I don't have huge figures and I rarely make typos.
When you press E with your thumb, your nail rests on the effective left soft key.
I've been ok with it, but I just sent a single text in 4 texts because I kept pressing it!!!!
Does anyone know how I can disable this one key on the keyboard? I don't use it for any function, as I am already used to using the touch screen.
For anyone wishing to see a picture of said phone and keyboard (http://www.mwg.com/zinc-ii.aspx)
I've been looking all over the place, but I can't find a solution to this. Sometimes when I go to reply to a text, the text entry box is halfway cut off, with the send/menu touch buttons overlapping it. Soft reset doesn't fix it, it's just kinda random. Anyone else have this problem or know about it?
i've had this happen a couple times before.
a temporary fix is to bring up the onscreen keyboard, then hiding it and it should be back to where its supposed to be.
The quick search box is by far the single most annoying thing on this phone. Not a feature I could ever find myself using, even if I knew how to use it properly. If I hit the home or back soft button, at random times it comes up. Some times I have to hit back or home 5 times or more to get back or back to the home screen. Some times it seems like it depends on how you hit the soft keys and sometimes I can not get the quick search box to come up no matter what I do. Am I the only one having this issue? Anyone have any insight on this?
The only time it comes up unexpectedly for me is when I touch the magnifying glass by mistake. If your phone is mixing up the buttons you should probably send it back.

After trying my brothers Captivate I found that if I push on the home or back button with any sort of force beyond a light touch the magnifying glass is blinking on my phone, activating the quick search in a handful of programs. Looks like I have a defective phone. Anyone else have this issue?
My quick search only launches it I top the magnifying glass soft key.
A long press on the Menu key will also bring it up, by design, a carryover from the I9000 since it doesn't have a dedicated search key.
@clay I just tried to replicate that but tapping hard on the home and menu keys. There is a creak from the back cover's latch but none of the other buttons activated. I don't see why they would since they are not resistive. Pressure should have nothing to do with it.

How do I swap the attach button and send button on the text message screen?
Some roms (skyics) have it swapped, and it actually stops me from flashing other roms when I see the attach button on top.
I type in landscape mode and it drives me nuts having to swipe just to get to the send button.
Is it a simple fix?

There is no simple fix for moving changing. Collors or buttons or menus.
Perhaps try a different sms app. From the market. Or decompile it with apktool. And start diggin in
Thanks silver. I like the stock app...I might get around to just digging in and messing around with it.
