Mouse Over on Touch - Microsoft Surface

Hello guys,
I couldn't find a thread on this, so here goes my question.
I've tried to reply a comment on my youtube channel but using only my fingers on the touch pannel I was unable to make the "Reply" button to appear.
I can do that when the mouse hovers above the topic.
Any hints?
Thanks you all.

I have the same problem any website with drop down menu does not work with touch you need to open keyboard and do that with the mouse. Any help.

Have you tried to tap and hold to bring up "reply-button" then push it with a second finger and at the same time release the first finger? I don't have a surface so I'm not sure it will work.

DDI not work as well... thanks for trying.

In the address bar, you will see a small circle with a line through it, like a no entry sign.
Touch it and you can switch off tracking. This seems to allow things like drop down menus etc to work.
Should help with your problem.

Killall, do you mean the one next to the + Button?
Can you pelas post a Print screen?
Thanks.

The one at the end of the address bar at the bottom of the screen.

I have the exact same problem and have made a video about it. It extends to all sorts of things too - can't play Words with Friends on Facebook for example.

Try switching of Enhanced Protected Mode and you should see the symbol in the address bar.

@killall: what, exactly, are you expecting this to solve?
First of all, tracking protection is disabled by default. Nobody is using it who doesn't know how to enable it.
Second, Tracking Protection will only block things that you tell it to block. If you use a third-party block list (which incidentally makes for a nice ad-blocking feature as well), you should have no problems. If you use the automatic list, be sure to explicitly allow things like jquery and such; a lot of sites depend on those external APIs and load them from the same place, so it looks like a tracking system.
Third, doing this will have no impact on the ability of the browser to distinguish a tap from a click. It's, at best, going to enable some JS and/or Flash that was getting blocked before. That might solve some problems, but won't solve issues where, for example, hover *within* a Flash applet isn't working.

Opera Mini

I Have noticed that when i use opera mini through the jvm, whenever i have input text the bar at the bottom remains (where the soft keys are) but it is blank, if i tap one of the blank soft keys, this bar disappears, is this a known issue i will just have to put up with or is there a way of stopping this bar staying put after text input? Thanks Chris
it's happen to me too
Also, is there any way of setting the permissions so that it doesn't ask me every time i connect to the internet if i want to allow it?

I'd love to know that too... it's not a big problem, but would be nice to fix.
Also, on apps like facebook, it won't let me input anything into password fields; letters (or stars!) just don't appear on the screen.

Text message font size out of control!!

The font size in my text message screen has grown out of control in the last week. I was typing a message about 4 days ago and the font in the thread started increasing as I tried to type.
This led me to believe it was some combo of keys I pressed that made it happen.
However I swear today it is even bigger. Easily a 14 and that is huge on this little screen.
I have the 08.14.09 Bloat Free Official HTC Fuze ROM Update and it has been fine since Nov. This only just happened recently and it happened while I was watching. No other changes have been made.
My searches keep pointing to utilities/downloads that let you control it, but I just want it back to normal. Do not want to add more software. This just happened...so there has to be a way to undo it.
Anyone know where the text font settings are controlled. (I also have registry editor and advanced donfig installed if those might have settings in em...have to go look.)
Oh damn, talk about breaking the rules. I guess I need to search ON this forum and not assume that Google knows all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536578&highlight=sms+text+size
Ok, text issues are controlled by the zoom feature same as images are. DOH!
(Flaming can now begin, I deserve it.)
Side note, I have been having issues with buttons sticking or not working on first press. Phone just about 1.5yr old. So not surprised that the main pad on front may have done stuff without me touching it. (Del button not work all time, space bar now up to 3 spaces occasionally, etc.)

I agree with you that he should use the search, but what would you search for if you didn't know the problem?
Anyway, when your typing a message, try moving your finger around the center of your device, You will see then how it works.

Auto Hide Taskbar

Hey bro i get this app from the market Honeybar it work great with root access.
I work with touchwiz work 100%.
Program tested MX Video Player,Dolphin Browser HD.
It works well and I suggest using Button Savior in conjunction. Barely seen my taskbar in a week
Works pretty well, main problems I have with it are accidentally re-enabling the taskbar in games (tapping near the bottom), and also accidentally hiding it when trying to hit the 'menu' button in portrait mode. They're too close together so it's hard to avoid hitting it.
I asked the author about the possibility of other trigger locations, or gestures, and he responded but didn't sound like he planned to do anything soon.
I installed HB myself, and although it is nice in some ways to get the taskbar (I use that reference with tongue'in'cheeck) out of the way, there are too many apps I have that place "menu" in the location of the hidden button even when I set it to shift left. Many apps I have to rotate to landscape to get to the apps settings menu hidden behind the shift-left positioning for HB. It's just not a sound UI choice.
The option to just leave the taskbar hidden and use Button Savior is better, but it's like using one hack to make another one work halfway correctly in its effects. HB needs more development and it doesn't look like it's going to happen as of now.

Thanks very much for your info. Yeah... this Button Savior is a real true name in case of the HoneyBar's gone somewhere..
Problem I see with using Button Savior all the time is that you do lose the notifications.. and then it's still easy to accidentally bring back the real bar when playing games etc. Oh well.

I don't know about the games... the notification is hiding except the sound but the real trouble is when the call is coming.... you have to activate the task bar to bring back the panel "Answer or Denied" (!!!)
FYI

I did indeed get quite angry at the loss of notifications but I was able to (sort of) get around that by changing the screen density to 171 using Blade Buddy. This set me back to a 2.x launcher.
It doesn't really work 100% however as browser, Gmail, Google Talk will constantly crash. I was able to work around the browser by just getting another browser and Gmail by uninstalling the Honeycomb version of Gmail and installing the Gingerbread version. I didn't care enough to do anything more than uninstall Google Talk.
On the positive side I no longer have to deal with the taskbar. Ever.

Does the Gingerbread version have the Gingerbread UI? i.e. without the multi-paned stuff? I tried loading a Gingerbread version a while back but it didn't work (just crashed). I prefer Gingerbread style -- more room for the content rather than lists of labels.

Yes this is exactly my only issue with honeybar. it would be nice if we could choose the right side as the "offset". Even in portrait I have space just to the right of center that would allow access to honeybar on/off and not interfere with the menu on a lot of apps.
There's a much better way to do this. Using tasker, I have a profile set up that auto hides the toolbar for certain apps and then restores it automatically when I switch away from them.
Follow the instructions in this thread:

Yes but how do you switch away from them?
That is actually what I am trying to figure out how to do. I am trying to set it up when in specific apps it takes away the task bar but also only within these apps after something... (haven't really figured that out yet) happens it will bring it back for an exit. In a perfect world I would love to be able to press both volume buttons to close an app. Which in this case would be perfect but tasker can't do that...
I'm using task switcher pro. It lets you map a gesture to the back button or home button.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
what might be cool is to "shake" device to bring back the bar.
you guy also can use AutomateIt... kind of like tasker but to me it more friendly user...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123423
and the pro version is cheaper too...
Using tasker I did manage to make the bar go away by shaking. Instead of setting programs to do it make it toggle the bar by using a shake. I don't have it in front of me to do step by step but if someone wants me to I can put it up.
I would most certainly love to see that "How too" Zadeis.
Thanks.
Here you go!

OK the link smaug408 put up leads to a guide on how to set up a task that when an App starts it will remove the bar at the bottom. The thing is though you no longer have a back button and get out of the app unless it has a dedicated exit button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301857
I take no credit for the premade files for tasker. The thanks goes to the creator Quietthinker through that link.
-First Open the link and download the attached StatusBarToggle.zip and place the files into /sdcard/Tasker/tasks (in this case you will only need the StatusBarToggle.tsk.xml, the StatusBar_Hide.tsk.xml, and the StatusBar_Show.tsk.xml files)
-Second open tasker and go to the "tasks tab" and tap and hold the Tasks Tab at the top. An options window will come up but select Import and import all of them into tasker
-Third go to the profiles tab and tap the Green plus at the left and give it a name. ShakeToToggle can work but you can name it whatever you like.
A context window will popup and you will select Event and then the Sensor Category and finally select the Shake Event.
You can mess around with the setting for the shake gesture now or tweak it in to your liking after everything is set up up to you.
-Forth once you have the setting you like press the green check mark, select the StatusBarToggle task and you are done. Now when you shake your tablet side to side it will make the status bar go away.
Now I just happened to figure out that you can shake instead of using an app for the context. I take little credit for how this works.
This method requires Super User Permissions. It will ask on the first toggle of the bar if you allow it to remember it afterward, if not it will ask each time.
Great app. Works perfectly

[APP][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

This little app acts as a replacement or companion to the default systembar on tablets. It can hide and restore systembar on most Android 3.x and 4.x devices.
Also like similar apps it requires root.
Unlike "GMD Hidebar" or "Hide Bar" which are recommended for simply using the device in "Kiosk mode" this app is meant to be more like an replacement for the systembar. It provides two configurable softbuttons which can be configured in position, size, color and transparency or can be completely disabled.
Several actions can be assigned to the buttons. Each button holds up to three actions, one for short, one for long click and one for swipe above the button. Possible actions:
Nothing: Um, yeah.. this does... nothing. Not sure why I implemented this.
Go back: Acts as the known "back" button to navigate back within apps.
Go to homescreen: Shortcut to directly go to homescreen... just like at the original systembar
Show recent apps: Will show a little panel to quickly switch between recently used apps. Unfortunately the well known "swipe to kill" function of the original can't be implemented because the necessary permission is only granted to apps with systems signature.
Restore systembar: An action to quickly restore systembar. With the latest version this can also be done by notification.
Show notifications: The second most important feature of the systembar. It shows a panel displaying the notifications. It is a complete reimplementation so some features are not available for now. The basic function works well on most devices.
Open apps menu: Older apps usually display their menu-button within the systembar. This action now can open the menu for those apps.
Pie Menu: Opens a configurable Pie Menu next to the touch area. This menu can be configured individually for each event.
This free version is fully functional and should be absolutely sufficient for most users. For lazy ones like me, who don't want to manually hide'n'restore systembar each time, there is a "plus"version available which automatically hides systembar for selected apps.
Oh, and yes, the free version shows a little advertisment for the plus version once in a while... if you want to get rid of it: just click this advert three times and it won't appear again. If you didn't buy the plus version after visiting it's store entry three times you probably won't ever.

Thanks for your feedback.
The recent apps panel should be closed when tapping on back button or anywhere alse outside the panel.
Well there is indeed a issue when "short click action" is set to something else than "Go back". Then tapping on button does not hide the panel. Did you mean this? I'll fix that.
I just got a message the wallpaper-workaround does not work at all on one device.
Since the wallpaper-issue was one of my main topics I am eager to solve this.
At least me and some testers never ran into this problem: if anyone else experiences this, please drop me a line. I need to collect some information to delimit that issue.
update:
the latest version now introduces the missing Notifications Panel.
At least for me the missing access to notifications was the only reason to ever restore the original systembar. So now it nearly always stays hidden.
A little drawback: new notifications so far are only being reported by sound. My own tablet doesn't have a LED and Vibro, so I personally am not missing this.
Hope you like it!
Great little app and I would be happy to shell a couple of bucks for it, one suggestion if I may though: it seems to be the case that all those who develop this kind of on-screen button apps forget to put a feedback for when the button is being pressed (momentary change of color preferably).
Since your app seems to be of the most complete offerings I think it would be great if you were to implement it in a given future. Android devices are often no strangers to lag so a feedback of any kind (that the button was actually pressed) I think it would improve the usability by quite a lot and hopefully it is easy to be implemented too...
Again thanks for this great app, here's looking forward for future updates

Seems that those developers hardly ever imagine to operate an Android device with somthing else than their big Wurstfinger-thumbs
When I use the app I don't see the buttons since they are completely covered by my fingers. But you are right, when using eg. one of those attach-to-TV-Android-sticks which are operated by mouse and keyboard, and having systems touch sounds disabled, there is no feedback at all.. It's pretty easy to implement such optical feedback, soon to be done.
thanks for your suggestion.

Not much else to suggest -I guess- sort from allowing more actions (through the press of the buttons) but that can be done later... oh and a way to have the buttons accessible regardless of being fullscreen or not (for those who'd love to have "hot corners" at all times)... oh and a minor bug report now that we're at it: upon reboot the app gets superuser permission but does not procede to enable the service (even though I have "enable at boot" selected).
Again thanks for this great app, loving it so far
This works really well on the Nexus 7. I was using GMD gesture control and i had remapped my volume buttons so they could be used as back and home but this is much handier. I can now have my buttons back.
Many thanks
I bought the paid version.
I have been looking an app like this for a while, tried others but this is perfect for what i want.
Top job!!
The latest version includes visual feedback for button-press. I chose a not to flashy color, hope you like it. I am thinking of implementing the before suggested user-colorable buttons but this may take some time...

mhh, I could only confirm this behaviour when setting SuperSu to prompt for granting su-access to the app. Which su-Manager are you using?
Did you set your su-Manager to automatically grant access to full!screen? This is necessary because the timeout waiting for su-access is set to 10 seconds... Since full!screen uses that accessibility-service it gets loaded at very early stage... far before other apps get loaded. Depending on how long it takes to fully load the system the timeout might occur even before the su-Manager gets a chance to Display it's confirmation-dialog.

I was usuing "superuser" so maybe that was why; once I've installed superSu the issue went away and now it boots with my system I've I asked it to
As for the visual feedback it works great but it goes away a bit too soon (Google's own feedback lasts quite a bit longer when one presses -say- the home button) and also it's less than visible when one uses low opacity. I like how the color is discrete though, great choice :good:
All in all I'll recommend this to friends what a great app

Anyhow, yes. Its a phone. Its my Xperia V.
I got quite a few apps tho, so it might just aswell be any other app aswell.
But I found it to good to be a coincidence when I disabled fullscreen and then it worked.
The FC still happends when I dont comment btw.
But it might be SC complaining ofcourse. But its no problem, I just added an invisible button to get the systembar back before I take pictures with SC.
Your app is the only one working properly btw. the lower left and right buttons that you've added are perfect. I can make them small and invisible wich makes it perfect. GREAT job!
Keep up the good work.
I'd like the option to have the notification bar on, but the onscreen buttons off, with just the corner buttons etc., if that makes sense. I like having the notification bar on, I think it's useful. Apologies if there is a way to do this already, I couldn't seem to find it.
It would be good if it rearranged the app icons too to fill the extra space better.
Or alternatively, I would like notification on, original onscreen buttons on but transparent with screen visible behind them, that would be a good option too, I think.
Thanks for the app though.

Unfortunately that not possible at all... at least not without patching original systemUI. Buttons bar and notifications bar are created by the same process. Disabling this process obviously means disabling both bars. I might implement an internal UI similar to the original systemUI some day. But thats at the end of a long list of wishes and suggestions I got so far, because it would take much, much work.
Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar
Hi, this program is almost perfect for me, but I have a question: given that it's oriented towards tablets, ¿do you foresee any problem using it in a phone?. I've installed the free version in my Xperia T and it seems to work alright, but I want to be sure.

MIUI thinks I'm swiping back

So, the problem started when I was typing fast, sometimes the keyboard would minimize itself. Then I realized it was only when I was near the "a" key (independent of the keyboard app). So, I got to make some tests, it turns out the screen thinks I am swiping to go back, when I'm not. Please check this video: https://youtu.be/cdg4_oJ68aM
Is there something I can do?
I'm on a Mi Mix 2s 9.5.19.0
I had this problem too. I no longer own the phone though so I'm afraid I can't help. I was wondering if it was fixed in the MIUI 10 beta but nobody has answered it so far. If anyone can chime in to say if it's fixed now would be nice, it made typing basically impossible for me.
Well, it was a display defect. I have to wait 2 weeks for the replacement part to arrive, but it's under warranty. Until then, I'll just use the on screen buttons.
It happens to me from time to time, but not sure if this is my fault. I don't understand the methodology of your test on the video (what are you pressing and when?).

It's the test module of MIUI, I'm just tapping left, right, left, right, etc, sometimes it is interpreted as a swipe between the 2 points (when a line appears). But it's pretty agressive in my display, got it checked and they are going to replace it under warranty.
So I shouldn't get any red lines when just taping right and left? I have those....
That's what happens to me and I'm getting back randomly after a few seconds of quickly taping left and right.
Where did you buy your phone?
I bought it on Aliexpress with Goldway but sending it back for a replacement is not really an option for me.

That lines get interpreted as swipes, so that's why my keyboard minimized when i was using it. If you want something more graphic you can try it on a simple drawing app (like this one), please look at the attached file. I live in Bolivia, here Xiaomi has official representation, so they come with a 15-month warranty.

That lines get interpreted as swipes, so that's why my keyboard minimized when i was using it. If you want something more graphic you can try it on a simple drawing app (like this one), please look at the attached file.

So this shouldn't happen at all?
Please see image attached.
Could other users confirm that when they just tap left and right very quickly, no lines are created? Thanks!
Xiaomi now sells directly in France but I have the 8/256 version only sold in China for now anyway.
Now it happens to me from time to time to have the keybord closed with a "false" back, but not enough to really think there was an issue, I just didn't understand why it closed. Thanks for pointing that, now I'm gonna be annoyed each time.

But hey, you know what i did in the meantime? I installed XDA Gestures, configured the same gestures as MIUI, and hid the gesture pill. Voilà, you get the same but without that problem. :good: That's good for now.

You mean:
1) Put back navigation bar on MIUI, disable gesture
2) Install XDA gesture and remove the navbar, configure it as MIUI
3) ?????
4) Profit
Is that it?
There are quite some options in XDA Gesture settings, could you post a screenshot of your preferences (like the 4 screens) so I can copy them? Sorry to bother you with this!
Also instead of using the sides to swipe back, it will use the lower part of the screen only? That's how your fix works?

Here are the settings attached (the pill color is transparent), just changed the right swipe to go to last app, instead of back. Remember that to install XDA Gestures you have to use ADB from your PC/Mac, for that to work you have to enable both "USB Debugging" toggles shown in the screenshot.
Does attached mean my unit is ok?

Thanks a lot, gonna do that on monday, just waiting for my bootloader waiting period to end (I know I can to this without root or anything, but as I'll need to do it again....)
Just to confirm, this means the gestures will be at the bottom of the screen only, no back function from the edge, right ? I don't think it will bother me much if this is like that.

Seems to be fine, if you were tapping fast each side, this is perfect. I can't manage to do this without having false swipe.
