Dear all,
some pages, e.g. Flickr, have hotkeys available, to make the navigation faster.
But,
there is a problem, when I want to use these on our beloved Sensation, due to no possibility to open the keyboard, without having a textfield selected on the screen.
Hopefully, I am wrong.
So please,
If you have an idea, how to open the keyboard when ever I want - please, let me know.
Many thanks in advance for your response.
All the best,
Mario
Try holding down the menu key, that used to work on my Nexus One. Doesn't on CM9, but might on others.

it seems to work good other than vibrate dont work.. but maybe one of you fine people that know what you are doing can fix that
bumping this. Has anyone gotten it working it on 2.2 droid yet? Or any froyo for that matter
Works great thanks!
Im using it right now... its great exept for the red flash when you press a key
within the symbols screen the "&" key looks messed up in portrait. anyone else get the text spilling over neighboring keys?
Yes, I get that as well. Couldn't say why, but it's not a "deal-breaker" for me, I'm still going to continue to play with this very cool k-board.
Man! This is almost a win. It doesnt vibrate on keypress. For some reason, my thumbs need that tactile sensation. Hopefully someone can fix this.

i'd love to get a fix for this. as well as the tactile feedback when typing.
can someone try one of these out and see if it works for your devices? If not, I will fix the & key for the Incredible

There was a version of this that had the haptic feedback enabled. Doesn't work with froyo as far as I can tell. I can't find the link, but it should be floating around on the forums somewhere.

Yeah I know that one doesn't I made them. I should have said that, sorry. I am just curious to see if that will work on your devices, because my friend is getting one. Those have haptic feed back, fixed & key, and are skinned

I can confirm that the Bblue.apk does work. I haven't tried the others, but I'm assuming they will work as well. Thanks a lot for these. I really like the black with blue highlight one a lot.

No problem glade you like it. I would make a post here for them, but no point to double post. Just subscribe to that thread. I will add more when I have more ideas for it. Also anything you might want, I will make just ask in that thread
Great Keyboard. No problems with key formatting on my Droid Inc.
Takes up a lot of space in landscape mode. I'll use it for a while to see how it works, but on first inspection, it looks just as useable as the HTC IME.

Love the keyboards. Any chance you could make a fix for the & key on the one available in this thread?
I think that I posted in this thread when this k-board just came out. I've been using it non-stop ever since and have no inkling of returning to the original.
I've been using the keyboard for a few weeks and while I like the size of the keys and the overall function of the keyboard I'm going to be moving away from it. I've gotten pretty fast on the soft keyboards and I noticed I began making way more typos with this keyboard than the stock keyboard or a couple others I have tried. The problem seems to be that in my haste I am pressing and releasing keys almost at the same moment and this keyboard doesn't like that. It will either only pick up one key, or in my case usually just ignore both and pick up the third key. I noticed a comment about my issue in the Droid X multi touch keyboard post in the dev forum.
It seems this is by design but it is a deal breaker for me since I ended spending more time having to go back and correct all my messages so they made sense. If this can be corrected, I would immediately switch back. Hope this helps someone else because it was driving me crazy.
So I have been reading on all the "problems" that this device has, and I've stayed pretty quiet about all the griping over minor things. (coming from the Vibrant and the G2X makes me pretty resilient to "bugs".
Sadly no one ever really talked about how it is a software problem. Everyone wanted it to be hardware related even though the touchscreen works for every other app.
(hops off soapbox)
Here's the fix, it's quite simple.
1) go to HTC hub and download a new theme (mine was music lover)
2) apply the theme
3) reboot phone
4) pull the ring to unlock
5) go back to XDA and hit the thanks button
I've replaced mine so I don't have it right now.
Unresponsiveness is not just lockscreen issue. It was effecting every apps on mine. I couldn't type, get carousel effect etc. Does this solve all of these?

Looks like you didn't read carrefully As I said I've replaced mine so I don't have this issue on my new device. That means I can't test this.
I never had unresponsiveness in any other app. Maybe I just got a perfect Sensation... well almost perfect (s-on)
Mine is so damn responsive, sometimes when I scroll the application drawer a little bit it opens an application

I saw the 'unresonponsive' threads, and was somehwat amused, since my screen appears to behave normally...but for the heck of it, I tried the carousel, and could NOT get it to rotate fast AT ALL! Other regular nav/touches worked fine. I just tried this 'fix', and can now get fast rotation on carousel easily! It was worth clearing defaults (LancherPro) and playing with it to get this 'fix' working. Now, back to LPro!

I posted this on another thread but I noticed that if you swipe really fast on one screen, without moving between home screens, it will always spin.
Just swipe really fast.
tried this fix and didnt work

Can you just apply one of the themes already on the phone? busted did not work, no thanks here. Just dloaded and installed music lover, no go. Who said the problem works in every other app? mine does not. Anywhere you try to swipe/scroll. home screens, contacts, pictures, LOCK RING, fruit ninja.. registers as a touch( a lot of touches) instead of a swipe. I dont think a software update will fix it. If it would then it should work when i restore phone to factory defaults, it does not, yet it worked fine at those same settings when it was new.

That is the problem! lol that is NON responsive. Swipes are not registering as swipes, instead registers as a tap. Thats why an app opens. I open an app almost every time i try to scroll through the app drawer. NOT how it should be.

No it does not. Not on mine. Yours will get worse untill that doesnt work for you either.
Thank you for this.
Why you always gottqa be freaking negative? Even on the fre3vo thread you freaking out on people. I tested this on mine, 1 swipe and the carousel appears.

I have to agree this did make a difference in the 3D carousel spinning. I don't know about other issues as I have not had them yet.

Ok let me be positive and see if that helps. brb.. Nope, still no carousel. All i did was inform you that what you think is actually good, is in fact one of the issues. Our sensations should not be opening apps when swiping. My evo didnt, my N1 didnt, my iphone didnt, but the newest latest and greatest device does. I have a right to be negative. Sorry if i offended you.
hi everybody, it appear that I've lost the mousepad support while using the keyboard, the rest of the functionality is there including the special keys customized for android.
I'm 100% positive it used to work when I've purchased the keyboard.
did something similar happen to you, how did you fix this ?
many thanks in advance, gd

Maybe you've just pressed one of the android custom button at the top of the keyboard..the one that enable/disable the tuochpad..know I don't remember but it's maybe the third or fourth button from the left..
yessss, thank you sir!

You often have to to to Settings->Language & Keyboards and activate the new keyboard first too. It used to be you could long-press on a text field to change the input method but that doesn't seem to work now. Maybe its an ICS change, or something related to Sense? Not sure.
By the way, have you already paid for Slide-It? If you're just using the trial, you might want to try the Swype Beta as well, as I find it works pretty well, and is free.

So, I was recently reading about how the One will (at some point) be able to be hacked so that the HTC logo can be used as a button. Somewhere around page 4 in the thread, an EVO 4G LTE owner mentioned that there was a ROM for their phone where someone created two "phantom buttons" between the 3 buttons. This was possible (for those who don't know) because the entire bottom portion of the bezel is touch sensitive. This can be seen by dragging the ring on the the lockscreen of Sense ROMs of the screen and still being able to control it. Also, I'm assuming, sweep2wake is made using this same principle.
So my point is, do any developers have any ideas if it would be possible to create these so called "phantom buttons" for our phones? I'm not a dev so I can't help accomplish this, but it's an interesting idea Imo that I felt I'd put out there.
I thought months ago when beastmode kernel was still being worked on by sbryan that he implemented something like that. I can't remember what happened or if I'm just completely wrong.
I've heard talks about it but with regards to sweep to wake widths.

Should be possible, just part of the digitizer.
Sent from the HOXL dimension of S-OFF
In my phone too the panel below the screen is touch sensitive
Sent from my rooted A52 with xzoom 3.0 rom
Start from the beginning of the cm10 thread. (Not 10.1)
This was used before it was official and the remap of the app switch key was implemented. Basically it was like an x y coordinate on the digitizer, that the phone was told there was a button there.
+1 I love this idea but what would you use the extra buttons for?

You could use one as a menu button and use the multitasking button as... A multitasking button. Also, a dedicated camera or Google Now button.
I would make a xda button, or perhaps male it start playing terminator 2 from when I left off.

A dedicated camera button would be nice.
Menu and search. I really miss the search button, believe it or not..
This post was created and transmitted completely in analog.
Yes, its possible and quite easy to add. vmagro (vinvinvinster) did something like this when he was doing CM9 back in the first few months of AOSP since at that point a button remap was not yet decided.
Thing is though, that it modifies the ROM's frameworks so it probably won't make it into any official builds. ever. And even if it was added, it could only act as either:
HOME
MENU
BACK
SEARCH
APPSWITCH
I believe that is it. I guess a MENU and SEARCH buttons could be made between the buttons if desired, but again, it would probably just lead to much more user confusion and stuff. Not sure if its worth it.
