Is there a way to manually launch the keyboard?
The reason I ask is I my partner visits one of her forums on Phone and when it comes to adding posts (using a system not to disimilar to these boards) she can't get the keyboard to appear?
Any suggestions?
If anyone needs to know the forums are on babycentre.co.uk
Press and hold menu I think.
What do you mean by "manual launch"? When you click in the textarea or input field it shows up - is that not manual?

Yeah - even if your not in a text area you can fore it open. it has some uses im sure....
its the same as the quick reply box on here. You can't get a cursor to type in the text box. Is there a workaround

Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the post above to activate Quick Reply?
I suspect that the forum doesn't support the latest Android browser she used to have issues browsing the site when she used her g1 but she could at least edit the text box
It's ok I disabled javascript on her phone and can now use the reply box. Cheers anyway. Oh and holding menu did nothing on either of our desires. :/

One solution could be to manually relaunch your partner, but that is probably a more cumbersome and less satisfying method.

Just change the keyboard setting in advanced config or under HTC Custome if you have it, select Cingular for ATT & Cignular or you lang if dif. I think this is like the 100th time this has been asked. Doesn't anyone use search?
Thanks Scrambler001, i am glad someone asked it, i am a newbie i tried a search, before asking but you was kind enough to still answer that other person. I have to sneak around work to use the cpu really so i never have a chance to actually sit and read. Thanks again, fixed...
i checked in the advanced config app, the only choice for keyboard layout is "english", still the same results. I dont have any HTC Customize apps or settings on my device either.

Well then just install HTC Custome if you need to. I thought all the options were available in Schaps rom though you might need to scroll up or down to find the Cingular one if thats what your looking for. Thats what I did when I installed his ROM.
8525 Keyboard Fix
This always works for me. Hope it helps.
I"m just wondering, did no one bother to look in the Schapp's 4.0 thread. I think it was asked about four times in there

You bet I even posted the answer there a few times already but the starter of this thread probably didn't go through the whole thread or search using a good key word like "keyboard" or some such. I think the total is more than 4 though and if you count the number of times it's been asked out of the thread well I run out of fingers and toes so go figure. LOL
Hey all,
in WM6 there is (on some roms) a slim "sidebar" next to the contact list with A-Z on it.
It helps you navigate quickly. Does anyone know how to activate it? A friend of mine had it but accidentally disabled it, now we cant figure out how to enable it again.
If you do not know what i am talking about, you can see it on this picture (second row, second column):

Thanks a lot.
PS: I tried the search but its kind of hard to find if you dont know what its called.

nice hint...works now!!!
Thanks
Thanks for the tip.
However, my Random Access bar only works 70% of the time. The rest of the time only a simple scroll bar appears.
It seems to work more often if I launch Contacts then fully exit and re-launch Contacts a second time. Wierd.
Anyone else experience this?
i installed this, but the vertical alpha list bar does not work.
i do not even see the app under program window. do i need to invoke this?
how do i make this work??
So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.
click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

You can also press and hold the message in the list you wish to do something with and you will get the same list of actions as if you tapped on the small letter.

You seem to be lost...you have a Kaiser, not a Rhodium.
You should be posting in one of the Kaiser sub-forums.

5. download it
6. install it (you may get a prompt saying that you need to change your settings to allow it to install, so do so)
7. next in settings again goto language & keyboard
8. tick android keyboard
9. click android keyboard settings
10. make sure voice input is ticked.
11. go into messages and hold down on TAP TO COMPOSE
12. select input method
13. then select android keyboard

Is it? Ooops sorry, I had no idea. Was too excited to get this working I never even paid much attention to the actual site. *Slaps self*
So does it work just like it works on the nexus one, in any text fields?
"I'm so north of the volcanoes it on the wrong size 12 font size but they don't think this through house and grill the attach to solicit"
I don't think that was quite what I said!
What did you say though?
Woohoo, works perfectly, although a tad slow. Still fun though

Works for me too. Quite interesting all the other apps on that site. But as mentioned. Warez.
How about this one?

It looks nice and only $0.99 ... Anyone can give it a try?

user opinions are not too positive, rather get the original VTT enabled
My option to install voice data is greyed out. How do change this, btw I'm using T-Mobile version.

noob question - first time android user - the only place i found the "Verizon 2.1 keyboard with voice input" file was under the sponsered links - do you have to pay the $1.99 monthly subscription to the download all site to be able to download it or am i missing something?
Thanks heaps

This works great. No errors at all so far... with my South London accent.. Thanks guys!!
i email HTC to ask if the voice to text feature was disabled on the Sim Free version of the Desire and this is the response i got....
Thank you for your enquiry about voice to text.
Well the device does have voice to search via Google, so it should do. The only thing is you'll probably have to install some apps from market on the Device, hope this helps..

So any one with the desire ATM does the above work? (i.e voice to search) i find the answer vague so i have asked for a yes or no answer to the question i asked. i quoted the desirehtc website where it states this feature will be available.
if anyone else has emailed HTC on this subject i would be interested in the response you got.
UPDATE
HTC have now resopnded with a Simple "NO" you will have to use a 3d party App.
no voice search here.
cos it's using the HTC IME, it is missing the microphone key that you get on the Android keyboard to use the voice to text functions.
whoever answered that at HTC obviously didn't have one to hand to check and was probably looking at the nexus....
Afternoon all,
After enabling the 'Voice to Text' as shown on How To Enable Voice To Text using one of the links on page 2 I have now got Google search by voice working on a T-Mobile Desire.
You don't have to change over to using the android keyboard if you don't want to use the main voice to text functionality, but now pressing and holding the search button brings up a pop-up on screen with 'Speak Now - Google Search' and a microphone symbol.
Seems to work fine to me.
works fine for me too.
Maybe it's coming in another update, this is from the htc website desirehtc dot com
" Android 2.1...
What's that all about then?
Launched in January 2010, and known in the trade as Eclair, this is basically an update to the operating system. In laymans terms, it's a sexier looking interface. But it's not quite that simple.
Now, for example, your Wallpapers can be animated, injecting your screen with a new lease of life. This works particularly well with the AMOLED screen.
Rather excitingly, it brings us into a realm where voice-to-text is a reality in all text fields. Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there. "
I'm sorry but voice search has always been there...

Cheers mate... great help, 1 more reason 2 love Desire...
Back to my orignal post.....
HTC tell me the voice - search is available by default (i.e not installing any other SW) they say it has to be enabled in settings then it work when using the search key/menu?
any one confirm this?
Actually, I also got a similar answer from HTC. I'm from Singapore though. Thus, most likely it is an unlocked version. My question was:
"Does the HTC Desire support the speech-to-text function out of the box? Does it also support AVI files? Thank You."
This is what i got.
"Thanks for contacting HTC.
For HTC Desire, it does have the function for Speech-to-text, but it doesn't support AVI file.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again."
From this reply, it seems obvious what the answer is. But the truth, from those who already got the phone, are far from it. I had specifically said out of the box. But, as told by owners, you need to download apps and everything for this function. Just FYI, I do not own the Desire...yet XD
HTC says NO! to voice enabled in default.
