"Battery Left" and Swype issues - Desire General

Hi Bros,
I used Battery Left widget and Swype keyboard. Anytime I restart my Desire, Swype does not enable by default but need to go to settings to enable it and change the input method accordingly, troublesome. And for Battery Left, after restart, the widget disappear, the widget on home screen show that no widget, try to add again the widget also cannot, need to uninstall and install it ... that happens for Battery Watcher also.
Anyone help me to fix it? thank you very much in advance

I don't know about the Battery Left prog, but re Swype you might try this:
Instead of going to Settings etc., when you want to send an email or a text do a long hold in the "Compose Text" area and then click on Input method. Select Touch Input, and then select Swype...
that should get you sorted.

thx bro. But it's not. Any time I restart my Desire, the Swype is not enabled and hence, you got no Input Method when press and hold Compose Text area. You need to enable Swype in Settings first, then press and hold Compose Text, choose Input and switch to Swype ... so troublesome.

Have you tried removing it and installing it again?

That would be the best bet, esp if you had Swype installed on Android 2.1..and left it there for 2.2. The installation of Froyo on my Desire blew Swype to blazes so I had to un-install and re-install. It's working fine since.

Swype works fine on my 2.2. I had to reinstall first time though but have tried many roms since without having to reinstall. It is always turned on when I reboot

I did uninstall and install again both apps many times, no use ... fed up so I forget about battery left, and only use swype, need to turn it on any time restart my phone.

The swype app is probably installed by your froyo A2SD settings to the SDcard. Move it back to your phone memory and it will remain as the default keyboard after you reboot.

the same for the battery left widget ;p

Hence one of the reason why A2SD+ is superior to Froyo A2SD.
In addition, no more manual swapping apps to SDcard, no more inability to access the apps when you connect to your PC via Disk Drive mode.

NullKB not selectable

I've installed NullKB, and it appears in the list of available SIPs.
However whenever selecting it, the default keyboard is always shown.
No way to get NullKB.
ROM details at signature. Any ideas?
Always to many erratic problems with SIPs on WM...
i have exactly the same problem. would be grateful for any suggestions.

It seems to be a common problem.
Mine can't be selected too!
NullKB not selectable here
I miss nullkb working. The popup keyboard is annoying me to death. I have the latest nullkb version and I can see the option when I hit the flag, but the keyboard comes up when I select nullkb. Rats! Any hope here folks?
I also have that problem after I opened up a few apps, but null keyboard does work fresh from a soft reset without opening apps first. It would be nice if we can run null keyboard off from start after the soft reset.

Can't say I've seen a problem with that, but you might want to give some more info for people to look at. Like, what ROM you are running and any apps you have installed, especially before the problem started.
youve got HD tweak installed havent you. and youve turned on the option for T9 in HD tweaks options...it just messes the keyboards up completely,i had the same problem. turn the T9 tweak off and it should be fixed.

Home Screen Pinch stopped working

I have a Desire running HTC Sense, and I have just noticed that the home screen pinch has stopped working. Does anyone have any idea's why this would have stopped working?
The only apps I have installed that I think could effect it are the "Home Switcher" and "HelixLauncher2", but I am currently using the Sense launcher as my current and default one.
Thanks,
Rob
Mine stops working every now and then too (i'll bet you've lost pinch to zoom in google maps and photos too?)
A reboot will sort it out, but my money is on some app i've downloaded that screws with it once opened. I don't have the ones you mentioned.
It happens to me all the time when I switch to Android keyboard to use the speech to text functionality. When I switch back to the original keyboard it works fine.
Press 'Home' when on Main screen, does it work? If so, Looks like it may be a 'Pinch Gesture' issue. If not, A Home replacement App Possibly
KYI

Actually, that reminds me that i have swype installed - i'll bet that's what's stopping my pinch to zoom from working. I really don't miss it and would rather have Swype
Rebooting does fix it. I have Swype also so looks like that could be causing it.
My friend and I both have Swype installed and can confirm that this happens to us on a regular basis too.

even if Swype is not active? it effects the pinch to zoom? what do you do to fix it, change the keyboard layout to android one and than the pinch works or even with that sometimes it stays this way?
I have the same issue, with the home screen, photo's and browsing. Happend twice now, just reboot the phone and it's working fine for a while.
I too believe it's something I have downloaded, doesn't bother me that much and I can't be bothered trying to work out which app in might be. Maybe when I'm bored one day I'll have a look through.
I have the same issue when I have swype keybord activated. its intermittant, but annoying. and a re-boot always seems to fix it.
Not the same as I don't have that keyboard installed I do however have Smart keyboard pro.
Do you guys HAVE to reboot to fix it!!! I think just making any other keyboard the default (by press-holding, and selecting input method) would solve it!!
Interesting, because Swype + Desire port to the N1 doesn't have this problem.
I have the same issue, but I don't have swype installed. I have installed the Scandinavian keyboard with support for gestures tough. I have turned off gestures, going to see if that helps.

PK
As far as I can tell, it happens whenever you change input method. So even changing from a 3rd party back to the HTC default will lose it. Reboot always fixes.
Mods, this is a common enough question that it might be worth stickying it? Seen about 5 threads in the last 2 weeks.

Exactly this.
If you change keyboards, just reboot and all pinch functionality will return. Annoying, but I don't change often enough to notice it. If you change and change back, then the pinch functionality remains without a reboot.

Not true on my device! Switching from HTC keyboard to Scandinavian keyboard by long press in any text field definitely breaks pinch-to-zoom (with or without gestures enabled in the Scandinavian keyboard). Switching back to HTC keyboard restores the pinch-to-zoom functionality in all applications.
Rebooting with Scandinavian keyboard enabled will cause pinch-to-zoom to work until a switch to HTC keyboard and back again is performed.
I'm a noob to Android,just got my Desire yesterday. I installed GOOGLES GOGGLES,GOOGLE MAPS and BATTERY WIDGET,and had the same pinch-problem. I uninstalled the apps again,problem solved. Didn't try to reboot though. But I'm glad to hear that the reboot will solve the problem,would be a shame if we couldn't have any apps installed without problems!

[Q] Strange touch screen unresponsiveness

the very bottom of my touch screen (i'd say about 1/4" of it) sometimes doesn't respond when touched, i say sometime, but really its only in a few apps, in the Facebook app i cant check my notifications unless i use the scroll pad, in Gmail i cant delete a message unless i switch to landscape, at first i thought it was the touchscreen, but the app drawer launcher opens ass it should, the space bar on the soft keyboard works as it should, i can scroll through the market if i swipe from bottom up, which leads me to believe its some sort of software error... has anyone else had this problem? if so, do you know how to fix it?
also, I've tried it in different roms (stock, cm 6.1) and have rebooted several times but to no avail
thanks in advance
I here that the radio effects all driver so you could try to flash a new one. Make sure it doesnt undo the root though!

well, ive tried several different things... basically I ended up completely reverting back to the stock PC10IMG... i am now running stock, ota, no root... basically out of the box plus a minutes, but alas, my touch screen is still doing the same, I've gone through several apps and from i can tell, the majority of the ones that give me issues are the stock ones (i.e. gmail, facebook, voice, etc) and some third party ones (andy 83; the entire bottom row doesn't work which makes it useless as a calculator, wordfued free). Im really not sure how to proceed from here seeing as it seems contained in several apps, but not in the system as a whole... i guess i can live with it, its annoying, but not unuseable

Swiftkey 3 and CM10?

Hey, I just got around to installing CM10 (the latest non-nightly) on my phone, and I was trying to get Swiftkey 3 to work with my phone, but it won't complete installation. The issue is that when it tries to get me to enable Swiftkey 3 inside the app: basically when it tries to switch to the "Settings" app, Settings crashes. This happens 100% of the time. I have also tried manually going into the settings app (from outside Swiftkey's installation application) and enabling it automatically, but Swiftkey doesn't detect that I've done that (which is why I imagine they tell you to hit the "back" key after enabling Swiftkey).
If there's any way to get Swiftkey to work, I would really appreciate the help. I really love using Swiftkey, to the point where using the stock Android keyboard is difficult.
