Swype keyboard small - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Has anyone had problems with the Swype keyboard? Mine is smaller than normal.
Edit: I tired uploading a screenshot but I'm having issues with my phone

This appears to be an issues once you reboot the phone.
A temporary fix right now is to disable and then enable Swype again.
I'll post it on the swype forums and let them know

Yeah that was working for me, but doesn't work anymore after a second reboot. I am getting used to the smaller keyboard now. I like being able to see more of the screen.

I'm having the same problem with my Swype keyboard. After every reboot, it becomes extremely small and unusable. The only way I can get it back to normal is by reinstalling it. Anyone else have a better solution?

Disabling swype, switching back to one of the other keyboards and then switching back to Swype seems to work for me.

Rotating the screen has worked for me...

Btw, The Original HTC Keyboard has Swype Built into it.
Found that out the other day.

Thanks that works perfectly and is so simple

Yeah, except it seems to be missing some features like swyping punction to the space bar to insert question marks and exclamations and swyping up for capital letters. I've gotten so used to those that I go to do it and it doesn't work on the HTC keyboard.

Found this thread on the swype forums: http://forum.swype.com/showthread.p...-Error-This-screen-size-is-not-supported-quot
They need help reproducing the bug.

When you rotate it and go back it still is smaller then usual

Backspace button not responsive when pressed near edge of screen

Backspace button not responsive when pressed near edge of screen.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Try pressing backspace on the right hand edge of the screen?

Not an issue for me, what keyboard are you using? Cos one of the first things I did was switch to swiftkey x. Best keyboard out there in my opinion. For t9 input I also recommend smart keyboard pro.

its the same with every keyboard ive tried, i have to press it on the far left side of the backspace key to get it to register. only noticed it in the last week or so. its the same on all roms. but when ive tried the touch test app from the market my screen is responding to touch equally on both sides of the screen...
That's beyond my knowledge then dude. What a weird bug/whatever it is.

[Q]Touchscreen sometimes stops working

I have a T-Mobile myTouch 4g Slide and The touchscreen sometimes doesn't work, I've noticed it happens more often when my battery is low and that it'll be working fine but when I use the phyical keyboard it won't work after that until I charge it up and restart it many times. There is a crack on the front so would replacing the digitalizer fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
I wouldn't think replacing the digitizer would help being it stops working intermittently otherwise it wouldn't work all the time. If it only does it when the battery is low then check your settings to see what is turned off if you have a battery saver mode. Easiest thing to do in my opinion is wipe the phone. That usually fixes this (I have even seen it fix physical buttons not working as well)

I have the same problem here. I usually have to turn the screen off to get it working again.

My entire screen never stops working, but sometimes when I'm touch typing, certain keys will refuse to register.
I don't know if that's a problem with my screen, or a problem with the keyboard app I use (Swiftkey X)

Keyboard?
Wanting to buy a MTG4 slide for my wife. Does the phone have an on screen virtual keyboard along with the actual slide keyboard?:

Yes, and there are many on the market if she prefers others then the HTC "Touch Input" and Swype that come pre-installed on the phone.

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.

I use Swiftkey X, but it will do it with the stock keyboard as well. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the keyboards, since they'll load up predictions for whichever button I press, but it just won't actually type in the field.

Ooo I think I know what you men because I too have had these little annoyances before.... what I did when it started was kill EVERYTHING LOL yes literally kill all of the things... I even killed the keyboard/sms process since that's where it happened most at. After doing that my issue was usually fixed. Also found that I just type too fast sometimes.... it honestly can b a number of things actually, let me know how this works.

Sucks to hear, i'll hold off for now
I have been getting a little less battery life with ics...but nothing shocking. I get anywhere from 10 to 16 hours...but that is the same I have been getting with gb...even froyo. I do a lot of reading and listening to the radio...and I always have a charger near by for those occasions when the battery gulps instead of sips.
OK, maybe a dumb question. Coming from GB Roms, I am use to "My Files". On this ROM where do I find something that works the same, or what is the format?

[Q] HTC Sense Input

I recently noticed the arrow keys reappearing on the portrait keyboard even though I have them turned off in options (settings>language&keyboard>htc sense input>arrow keys "OFF"). I have cleared htc sense input data and this takes care of the resetting issue until I play any kind of full screen video. This included youtube in full screen, angry birds, vevo, etc. I thought that it might be an app so I put my phone into safe mode...but the same issue occurs. I even went as far as doing a full reset, but still the issue continues. I really could care less about the arrow keys, I just want to make sure at this point that it is just some kind of software issue that may be resolved with a future update, and not a hardware issue with my phone in particular. My phone is completely stock and fully updated. HTC hasn't emailed back yet, so I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? btw, this may be a well know issue, but I have only had the phone for a couple of weeks so any help would be much appreciated.

i have this same issue. they come back even when i turn them off. the only way to get rid of them again is to make sure the keyboard shows up then turn the phone into landscape mode then back to portrait mode, then the arrows are gone. its a glitch in the software or something.
Is there a way you can disable the arrow keys on stock rom and unrooted? I'm on android 4.0.4 and sense 4.1, but i can't see the option in HTC sense input in where you can turn off the arrow keys..

It's under HTC Sense Input, make sure to look under all of the "advanced settings" , dive into the sub-menus.

When i go to advanced settings, there are no sub-menus.. is it just me? i really don't want any 3rd party keyboard because the stock keyboard is just great, it's just i can't find any option that can disable the arrow in the keyboard. Even in the advance settings, there is none..

I know this doesn't help you at all but I can't find that option in sense input either on 4.0.4 and sense 4.1. Personally I use SwiftKey but maybe turning the arrows off is a feature HTC dropped?

I also have the international version, black MAO. However I am branded on T-Mobile. I doubt it is the reason, though. Not sure why.

Touchscreen a little wonky on Sense Viperxl3.2.8

Just wondering if any of you guys are getting the same prob as me where the screen doesn't seem as responsive. As in when scrolling thru apps. Sometimes after scrolling, it will register the last touch point as a click. Also. When typing in whatsapp I can't seem to be able to press the send button without closing the keyboard. The touchscreen seems to be registering the touch points somewhat lower or higher than where I'm pressing. Thanks for any replies!! Even right now I have problems pressing the submit button without closing the keyboard :/

Did it start hapenning right away? Are you using stock kernel? What hboot are you on?
Nope! Have been using viper for about 3 plus months now. Since 3.2.4 I've been using those ota updates and haven't really done much. I'm running elementalX 6.5. and I downgraded the touchscreen firmware so that if I wanted to play ard with aosp I could. Am on 2.14 hboot
Try upgrading touch firmware back? That would probably be the easiest thing to try first.
