Hi guys
I was wondering is there is a way to move the keyboard to the top of the screen ?
Imagine you text message app.
When the keyboard is closed, the app uses the whole screen.
When the keyboard opens, the top of the screen remain the same, but the bottom, where you can type an message is "pushed up"and the keyboard is displayed bellow.
I'm thinking at excatly the same behaviour, but, instead of "pushing up" the bottom toward the top, the keyboard would "push down" the top toward the bottom.
In my text mesage app, it would push the header where you find the name of the contact as well as a "call" button".
Any suggestion would be welcomed, with or without root, and with various behaviours

Sorry if this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. When I get a new text message, the soft button on the left comes up as "reply" (the right is menu) is there a way to change this to "view" as sometimes I don't want to reply to a text, but do want to view the whole message.
Also, is there a way to add a shortcut (or change one of the soft buttons on the today screen) to start a new text message?
Thanks
intresting question got the same problem
I would like this too!

You basically should create a new shortcut as a program that has the command to invoke a new SMS. You can then use something like Schap's Advanced Config Tool to assign that shortcut to one of the soft keys. You can also assign it to one of the hardware buttons if you want.
You should also try searching. If you type "new sms shortcut" you will get many links to the solution.
Thanks, but that doesn't solve the main problem, in that when I get a new sms, the notification window comes up, and the left soft button is "reply" and the right is "menu" (which does not have a view option) so to view the message, I have to get rid of the notification, go into messaging, and then open the message. What I'd like to be able to do is when the new sms notification comes up, I'd like the left soft button to be "view" so I can just hit that and go straight to the message.
If the entire message is visible in the notification window it doesn't give you an option to "View", that's when you get "Reply". If you get a really long text message that doesn't completely show in the notification window, the "Reply" button will be a "View" button that will take you into Messaging to view the entire message. I'm not sure how to always have it be the "View" button.
gringolian, if you find something to change the reply to view, then let me know!
I've disabled all of the auto-correct and suggestion SIP options on the TP and that works great, HOWEVER (heh, heh)...
Is there any way to turn off that annoying "what-you're-typing-preview" that always appears on-screen as you type? It is such a waste of screen real estate.
Do you know what I mean? I'll explain...
For example:
Code:
PREVIEW STYLE 1
1. Start a new text message.
2. Pop out your physical keyboard
3. Start typing!
You will see what you type appear in a little "preview window" at the bottom of your screen.
Now here's the REALLY annoying one...
Code:
PREVIEW STYLE 2
1. Open an existing SMS message (threaded view)
2. Pop out your physical keyboard
3. Start typing...
You will see the preview appear *above* your text this time. Even MORE annoying since it's taking up real estate in the typing area this time around.
I've been scrounging for a solution to this and really hope one exists.
Thanks for everything, guys!
press ctrl + space and choose abc
Thank-you VERY MUCH, Brendo!
I thought that I had already done this but I realize now that it was probably in my dreams.
(YES -- I dream about my TP -- don't lie -- YOU DO, TOO!!!).
Lol.
Take care.
Hi Guys, probably very silly of me, but 'choose abc'. Do we have a 'abc' button? I can't seem to find out what you mean with this. Also pressing cntrl + space and typing abc does nothing (obviously). Help me. I also find the typing preview window quite annoying, especially since I have been so happy to be able to turn the auto correct options off.
It can be found on the SIP - pop up keyboard, providing you have "full keyboard", phone keyboard etc selected and not the windows default keyboard. You will see a button marked ABC->T9. Make sure T9 is not selected.
Gee thnx ardsar, this was clear and worked. Indeed I had to change the layout of my pop up keyboard, as I hardly ever use it and had it in the default keyboard mode.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU (yes, I'm shouting )
If there was anything that pissed me off on this phone, it was the goddamn useless preview!
Why do they expect that you're a retard, if you bought HTC phone? I thought these phones were for smart people
That's kool that it will take the dialog away but while I'm in programs it still types the letters in the background and causes them to skip. Is there any way to disable the typing of keys in the background while still reading the keystrokes. Let's say I'm using PocketNES while I'm in the game it reads the hardware keyboard as typing letters when I'm not trying to type any message. I would just like to use the letters as buttons instead. Hopefully someone has found a solution to the problem!
So far the new ROM is ok. I like being able to remap my PTT. My question is about while typing either e-mail, text, or whatever the word is highlighted but for what. when i try to add a name to whoever i'm sending the message to unlike the old ROM it just highlights what i type it doesn't begin suggesting names. how do i disable this function. thanks
What is this feature? Mine does it too but it appears to be random. Any thoughts?
Try disabling "Enable Auto Correct" in your input settings
When typing the message, press the function key, then the right > key
at the right most lower corner of the keyboard (if it is a fuze). The pop up
will display, it is probably on T9, select abc, and that should stop it, if that is the problem you are having.
Hi there,
Is there an application that re-displays popup toasts I've received? I mean, when I receive a message and/or have a scheduler alarm, etc... I have to manually tap the tiny notification icon right there at the top of screen... actually it's not a big deal, but it's still annoying. One example, when I receive a text message, I'd like to press something like... a camera button instead of putting my effort to tap a that tiny message icon on the taskbar(is this a taskbar, or a notification area? Whatever...) and just press left softkey to reply. Isn't this beautiful?
So is it possible to... 'simulate' the tap by a keypress? I've googled for this and no luck so far.
I have WM6.1.
Thanks in advance.
IK had a widget "A sticky note" for 4 years. It shows a text which I can edit. When I was adding new text (i.e. things to do) then older text would shift downwards. The current entries would always stay on the top, and the widget was showing the top without having to open the application.
After the upgrade to Oreo and Emui 8.0.0.366, the widget still shows the top, but when I open it, the keyboard's cursor jumps to the end of the text. I tried with another widget "Simple Note", same result. Is there any way for the insertion point to stay on top of the text ? As it did in Emui 5.0.00 ?
Alternatively, does anyone know about a sticky text widget which can restore the position of keyboard entry to the point where it was left on previous session. My QuickEdit does that , but it is not a widget.
