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.
I do not remember this with the old ROM but since the update, when I go to type a SMS text message or a url within either IE or Opra, I get this damn annoying black line that shows up above the on-screen keyboard and if using the slideout keyboard, I get it to. It inputs everything I type into this box as well as into the text mesg or url box. I have tried all the options in the Settings/Input to no avail. I just want what I type to go directly into the SMS message or into the url box without it going into this other box. Now everything stays highlighted and I have to hit enter twice to get it to be inputted....very very annoying. Anyone got a way I can shut this thing off?
Hey, I was wondering if there's any way to change the keyboard text input field on android 2.1. I have the honeycomb keyboard, but it doesn't matter what keyboard you install (better keyboard, the stock samsung, 8pen, stock 2.1....)
when you turn the phone sideways, the input field at the top covers up the whole screen- anything that the keyboard doesn't.
So, even when its just a small input bar for, say, a user name on a website, the entire top half of the screen turns into to input field.
When in portrait mode, you can click on just the google search bar and still see the rest of the page. But not in landscape.
I just would like to be able to see the rest of the page while typing. Anyone know how to do this/ mod this so its possible?
Thanks

I have Swype keyboard installed on my HTC Inspire running the Android Revolution ROM. The annoying problem is that during "Swyping" sometimes it does not write the correct word (That is not the annoying part). So I go on to fix it by selecting the entire word and have the Swype "other possible words" menu pop up but at the same time the "copy/past" menu also pops up right on top of the Swype's menu. When this happens I cannot select the other word I want and have to end up deleting the word and spelling it out instead. It gets really annoying while trying to "swype" a quick message!
Is there anyway we can somehow we not have the two menus pop at the same time or on top of each other?
Recently, I find that the notification popup ( after clicking the notificaiton bar) displayed behind the input soft keyboard. So when your soft keyboard is displayed. And now you click the notification bar and want to see the many notifications, the keyboard block your view. If you press Back now, the notification popup is hidden instead of the soft keyboard. Very inconvenient. This is not the case before.
I am using android 4.0.3. Is there any way to fix this?
