Hey everyone!
This may seem a tad bit of an odd question but follow me here. My touchscreen is currently just...dead. have an RMA in but in the meantime ive gotten pretty good at getting around just using the keyboard. Problem is I cant seem to find any way to select the two options at the bottom that i would normally just touch when a popup comes up. ive tried to hit enter and ok along with a ton of other keys but nothing seems to work. for example right now im on the carrier selection screen for NRG rom and cant obviously touch "next" to proceed. what really blows is when i see an option for "tap ok to continue" and just pressing the OK key doesnt work. Guess this is maybe a challenge in a way too. see if you can change settings, go through menus without touching the screen. Thanks all!

Try installing MyMobiler - freeware utility that will allow you to control your phone from your computer and it allows for the softkey press through menus. That's all I have for you, maybe someone else has a better solution
wow. strangly that was the one thing i had just found today..and was actually the only thing so far that has let me install some of these apps i need to try to help me do things..."better?".

Hi,
I've been looking for an application that would enable you to select which buttons should be locked when the device is off. Right now, the only options are "none" or "all but the power button".
I'd like to lock all the hardware buttons except the "record" key (which I have mapped to MS Voice Command). That one isn't easily pressed by accident, so it wouldn't turn my device on all the time and waste battery life, and I'd be able to start MS VC without pressing the power button first.
Any ideas?
Don't want to be pushy but... *bump*!
Anyone heard of an application that does this? Or any developers interested in making one? I'm thinking... Vijay?
I think it could possibly be done, using a low level keyboard driver hack, but I'm thinking it'd be a little bit messy to program right now, I've got a few other things to finish first.
I'll try to test some ideas, but can't promise to release anything very soon

Hey, thanks for your reply! You don't have to promise anything... I was just trying to inspire you. But you have to admit it would be a useful app!
Hi all,
I apologise if this is not the right place to pose this question, but I just got a Touch HD on an Orange contract a couple of days ago, and I can't seem to be able to change the text entry method on my handset. It always stays as 'Phone Keypad', no matter which method I select, from the several methods listed: Block Recognizer, Compact QWERTY, Full QWERTY, Keyboard, etc. It's the same whether I try to make the selection by pressing the "OPTIONS" button on the phone keypad, or whether I go through Start->Settings->Input
All the software/hardware configuration on my handset is exactly as it was when I received it from Orange, so far I haven't even installed a single new program.
Any help? TIA
Hi.
Can't offer any advice as such, but can tell you that I got my HD from Orange just over a week ago, and I can change the keyboard without any problems.
I originally had a Touch Diamond, so I knew how I wanted it set up. I just brought up the menu from the keyboard at the bottom of the screen when it first popped up and did it from there.
Sorry I can't be any help, other than to tell you that you should be able to do it!
Good luck mate.
Hi,
I had the exact same problem but i wasnt too bothered but then I installed Gyrator and everything started to work.
Hi,
I had the exact same problem but i wasnt too bothered but then I installed HD Tweak and Gyrator and everything started to work. I have no idea how it worked though.
I got this phone yesterday, and I too was confused as to how I selected the different input method. Then I worked it out
It must be a bug with their firmware. You have to HOLD DOWN the centre button, keep your finger pressed and slide it up the screen to select the preferred input method. I think I did this when I was in the Compose SMS screen.
Since then, mine's stayed as I selected it - on Full QWERTY.
Hope this helps!

Same happened with mine. If you click on the options then you cant change it, however if you click on the box in the middle of the screen at the bottom, you can change them.. Bizarre!

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, guys. I've got it working for me too: by pressing the 4x4 grid-like icon at the bottom centre of the screen to bring up the keyboard, and then pressing the small upward-pointing arrowhead that brings up keyboard options. I guess that's what ultrazonixe probably means... although I couldn't get it work by sliding my finger upwards off the centre button as langauld suggested (except if incidently I did it from the arrowhead icon).
Thanks for the help!
Yes this is quite tricky till you get the idea.
Press the bottom middle button (icon of keypad) to get the keypad up, if its not already up.
Then the bottom icon changes and adds a small up arrow just to the right of the keypad icon. (nothing to do with the four arrows just below the keypad)
you have to press this small up arrow just to the right of the keypad icon and a menu pops labled "touch input settings".
its not the same one that comes up when you press the options tab which does not work.
Press the right choice eg full qwerty or whatever, and hey presto the keypad changes instantly.
same here
Yes I could change it .. via selecting the arrow next to the mini keyboard on the bottom ... but it used to reset it self every time I starsted the phone...
Now I have TouchPal.. I have never looked back.
Since last night my t-mo TP2 has been really slowing loading up (this is AFTER "windows 6.1" green screen and "loading TF3D"....even if i touch the screen nothing moves. touch flow works fine after 5 min but Opera Mobile and other programs open very slow. screen rotation doesn't react and also parts of the screen image from previous pg remain when i go to a new program. By "quick menu", i mean the top right corner where u can get to the task manager (i do have this turned ON in my settings).
Can someone pls help me??
i really don't wanna do a hard reset so do i have any other options? THX.
okay, quick menu finally shows up after 15 min or so? it seems like everything is running smooth.
i hope this isn't normal cuz it happens to me every time i power off and turn it back on.
Eeep, I'll be watching this, I love QuickMenu! If ATT ever releases the TP2, that is..
damn no replies. i'm having the same problem with my sprint touch pro 2. loading where i can actually use and that will respond fairly quickly takes a good 5 min. fortunately, after everything seems to work fine but there are times i soft reset to clear everything and slow load, EVERYTIME.
can someone help? I have S2U2 and have tried EVERY combination of options, don't think it can be any of the other utilities I installed
QuickMenu works just exactly the way it's always worked for me on the Tilt.. I haven't ever seen it run slowly. I ran the older version at first, then installed the new version so I could increase the spacing to make it easier for finger poking, both worked just fine.
Not sure however if I used it with TF3D, I nuked that after a day. I suppose it's easy enough to switch, so I did, and still no trouble. I have it assigned to my Win key, if I want to launch the "honeycomb" I tap the Start Menu text. I use a bit of a combo of both. I don't really use any special settings, about all I set is to auto start, register win key, right arrow to close program, x button long press to close, don't mess with anything else.
I apologize if this is in the incorrect area, but I was able to put 2.1 eclair on my HTC Fuze with no problem and have been searching around trying to resolve an issue.
Basically I was trying to import contacts from the sim card and couldn't figure it out. On another forum they said I was to press the "menu" button and it would bring up a selection box to give some options to allow an import.
So I go to the phone and get to the contact page, but there is no way to pull up the "menu" as far as I can tell. I tried all the physical buttons and holding on many spots on the screen with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas or is this something I should be avoiding since this is so new?

The menu button is the HOME button on htc fuze just the little house sometimes u have to press it twice or trice because the capacitive drivers arent working properly
Apologies!
Right after I wrote the response I figured that out. Thanks for the quick reply.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my optical joystick doesn't scroll anymore. The button still works if I press it down, but I can't scroll through any text fields. Its not a deal breaker, but I was wondering if anybody else ran in to this problem and if there is a solution.
Is it dirty? A couple weeks ago, mine stopped responding and it was a thin film of something over the button. I cleaned it and all was good.
I've tried cleaning it, but hasn't helped.
I've also found out that with out the optical joystick, I can't access any of the menu items when I'm in recovery.

you mean the volume buttons don't work in recovery?

I found the default trackpad file that may help but I'm not sure. Flash this through recovery. Use your volume buttons to move up and down like suggested earlier. If it don't work it won't hurt your phone. It's the original trackpad mapping file. If that don't work then I would suggest using your backup ROM and see if that works.

I'll give this a try tonight and let you know how it works. I should also state, that flashing my original recovery image didn't help either. I'm pretty sure that is a hardware failure, but I'm still holding some hope.

The optical joystick works in ClockworkMod for me. I think that's what he's talking about. (Implying that it's not the ROM).
Well, sorry that it didn't work.
Sometimes I wish mine would stop working. Damned thing scrolls my home screen randomly.
Anyone know how to intentionally disable the scrolling ability of the trackpad but still retain the click function?
