Looking for help - General Questions and Answers

Hello, im new around here, and its the first place i could think of to find help, so i hope someone attend my problem.
I need a programmer, or someone who can explain me what do i have to do.
Does anyone know about the <app.pcon> app?
It let you use you phone as a controller for your pc via LAN.
Im a xperia play user, and the app comes with suppor for it, but there is a problem
In the Xperia play pad option, where you can use any button of the pad, is a <close> button, so any time you hit a direction button the <close> action is highlighted and when you hit X button in the pad, the <close> action is HIT, when that happens the pc doesn't register that action.
So, what i want is someone who can modify the app so the <close> action is never highlighted for the use of directional buttons, or someone who can eliminate that <close> action from the app.
If no one whants or is not able to do it, at least someone who can explain me how to do it?
sorry if i ask too much, jeje....
thanks in advance

Returning to middle of listing?

Lo all, great phone this, I really like it.
One thing that bothers me though:
When using a listing like the WMphonebook, when I scroll down and select an entry and accidentally press the one next to it and then press "return" I'm at the top of the PB-list again. Meh.
Anyone know a tweak or program to make it remember the last position in a long listing? Both Phonebook and filelistings would be useful f ex.
Also has anyone got a way to Cut/paste w/out an extra program or do i need a separate program for that? Try f ex copying a phonenumber from Contacts list and try pasting it into another application.
Cheers beforehand,
Paul

i do this by switching to WinMobile standard keybord and Ctrl+X, C, V
Cheers, how can I switch to the standard windows keyboard? Only got the numbers and the Qwerty ones?
After looking alot around the net I found Fingerkeyboard which gives a nice layout keyboard and Cut/paste-functionality wherever there is a SIP.
Can recommend it.

Somehow I can't seem to find the Question mark on iot though.
Still It can be fixed.
Anyone found a solution to returning to the same spot in listings?
Bump anyone?

Any way to change a button on swype keyboard

Topic pretty much says it all. I would really like to replace the tutorial button with a speech to text button on the swype keyboard. Anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Travis
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
That tutorial button serves a number of purposes and shouldn't be replaced.
Yes, it's like swype's main menu. I mainly use it to delete gibberish words that I end up adding when I'm on a swyping marathon. It's also useful to correct a word that's already been swyped.
Not to sound like an ass, but my question was not what the button was for. I know that already, I have only actually used it once after a few weeks with the phone. There is also another way to get to that same menu. So for ME, changing the key would be useful. I was under the impression that making my phone more usable for ME was what android was all about. If I wanted to be told how to hold/use my phone I would have just bought an iphone 4.
Again I do not want to be an ass, but this is the 2nd time(first not at xda) I have been told the purpose of something instead of getting an answer to my question.
So please anybody, is there a way that I can change the swype key to something else(speech to text)? If so what do I need to go about doing.
I would just like a straight yes or no answer, and some direction.
Thanks,
Travis
You probably shouldn't have called it the "tutorial key" then. It made you sound like you had no idea what you were talking about.
Hello, I believe the captivate and vibrant are similar so this may be of use to you:

I know it's not changing the swype button to a voice button, but it is adding a voice button which is half of what you asked for
Best of luck!

[Q] Remapping search button on startscreen to contactlist search?

Since im not a big fan of bing and the app is useless for search results in my country, i dont like the search button at all and it annoys me when I accidently press it and a useless picture with a textbox comes up... now that this problem is solved with the instant start hack its less of a big deal.
However it would be much nicer if we could map this searchbutton to a contactlist search, like when in the people hub hitting search. Having this same action on the main page. Idk if this is possible, since it is possible to tap into the browser search button, maybe it is possible to change the action for the homepage, or something else.
Anybody an idea?
would like to remap that button, too.
For now I just deleted that button, by removing websearch.exe in /windows/ . should be possible to copy another file to that location

Cool, however I have samsung and cant acces the file explorer. Do you know if there is a link to that file specified in the registry? So we could just modifie that link and see what it does.

There is something comming up which can replace the search button for something nicer, they have still some hurdles to overcome but its comming along pretty nicely i believe and it will truly add a usefull function instead of no results bing

Does disabling it on the home screen impact the button's functionality in it's other uses, such as search within Marketplace?

I have no idea, but for us the whole bing thing is useless so i never use it. Have to navigate to google.com to get the results i want to have. However to call somebody it would be really useful to have it working as people search. I dont mind if this behaviour is universal.
However i hope we will have a fully functional taskmanager soon which will override the bing app

First time Android user question

Hello,
I got my Atrix yesterday and got it rooted this morning. Right now, I am trying to figure out how to change the Voice Search action when holding in the search button on the phone. My goal is to open the Voice Commands app when holding in the search button instead of the Voice Search.
NOTE: I am totally new to Android and Linux. Please walk me through as simplest as possible. Thanks in advance.
Home smack on the market might be able to do what youre asking for. Its free and worth a shot.
sent from my ADR6300, with the power of banananas
Thank you for the tip, but this application (Home smack) only allows me to change between Vlingo and Voice Search.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Gboard: adding direction arrows at the bottom of the keyboard

Wtf? Does anyone know how to add direction keys at the bottom of the Gboard? The only way I know is through the settings...
I want permanent keys.
Thanks

I want it to look like my m9
I emailed the Gboard dev team to ask for directional keys. SwiftKey is a popular alternative that has an option for dir keys

Hey thanks psychoreactor[\b], i completely forgot about swift and good timing you must be psychic because i done a factory reset after a propper root on my samsung a70 because the unofficial root psge had the link st the bottom and i was getting stuck in a boot screen with my own recovery.. Well i tried, however, i forgot to unecrypt my sdcard... Big dramas and the titanium backup was on the internal which got wiped.. Long story short i was playing around with Grammarly and the samsung keyboards and i could have sworn kne of them had directional keys... As you can imagine, i was congused ss jeck and i had the backup codes for my google slave account and MEGA key on that sdcard thst was ebcrypted... It doesn't stop there though because me, like an idiot started downloading software that promised to decrypt... Yeah right.. Monkey balls..
But here i am now, without two account s lost, tried contacting them... Nada..
So my friend, the show must go on and i learnt a valuable lesson in the the procces.
Always backup productively, reduce mutitasking and focus on one step at a time. AND, theres no place like XDA.
(the following advertisement was brought to you by SwiftKey) cheers ?
Hopefully Gboard implements it, because i love the dictation button on the upper right
