myTouch Slide Keyboard Shortcuts Problem - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a newbe to the whole android deal but let me state my problem.
When i do a fresh reboot on my phone the keyboard works fine. After a while certain keys go to certain things on the phone. For an example, keyboard working fine then all of the sudden when i push the G key it goes to Gmail or when i push the Y key to goes to youtube. It causes a big problem with my texting. I don't mind using swype but i got the phone for the keyboard.
For the life of me i can't figure out how to turn it off this setting. It is annoying. I have wiped my phone and did a fresh install and still doing the same thing.
Any help would be great
Thank You

go to settings > applications > quick launch. & clear all of the shortcuts

Thank you so much

ATT Tilt 2 rom problems

Hello everyone,
I just bought my ATT tilt 2 and I have a few issues that I would like to address. If you guys can help me address them it would be greatly appreciated.
(1) When I get a call and message at the same time, my phone doesn't stop vibrating even when I am in a call and the other end can hear a buzzing noise.
(2) In my message tab, I have a '1' icon showing that i have a new message but I have no new message. I even deleted all the messages and still it does not go away. Therefore TouchFLO is also showing me '1' new message all the time.
(3) In my previous phone (omnia), I could hit any of the front hardward key to light up the phone then I could unlock it. but that feature does not seem to work in this phone, I have to everytime hit the power key to go in and out, therefore I find no use for the lock feature. I changed the setting for it to never go on standby but then the screen always on (low visibility) and that would probably use up alot of battery.
Any fixes for these problem?
I do not mind changing ROMs but I have no idea which ones are stable and how to go about changing them. I can look up on how to change them but I need to know what people are happy with. I do not want to keep changing ROMs.
Thanks Alot for your help
Have to push power button to wake up device
I have a TILT2 and it sucks to have to push the power button to wake it up. Does anyone know how to modify this?
I would like to push one of the front buttons to wake it up as they are more accessible.
Thanks.
Number 1 is weird. Maybe try a hard reset.
Number 2: Go to Start>Settings>Today do to "Items" tab. Uncheck TouchFlo3D, and check Messaging. Hit OK, and go back to the Today screen. There should be some stupid welcome message from Microsoft in the text messages (for some reason doesn't show in TF3D). Delete it, and you can go back into the Settings and turn TF3D back on. The "1" message icon should be gone
I had the same problem, and this worked for me.
number three:
Try this link from XDA:

If you want to wake up TP2 by any hardware keys, please try: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD "KeyLock" = 0 (default is 1) then Reset..

HELP with ADW Launcher??

I've searched around but doesn't look like people even bring these two problems up, maybe you can help?
1. Whenever my phone is locked for over 2 minutes or so, and I unlock it, it seems to lag when i swipe to another home screen for just about 1/2 second after i swipe my finger. It runs fine after that. I've tried tweaking some settings but it doesn't seem to go away. Didn't experience this on a non-sense rom. Anyone with help on that?
2. Also, I noticed that if you open the keyboard when in the home screen, it moves the entire screen up with it. Is it possible to not move the screen up? It causes problems when I'm in a messenger and press the home button with the keyboard open because the entire screen flickers. Not much of a problem, just didn't experience this before either.
Thanks for any help at all guys.
If it's the original ADWLauncher then it isn't that well optimized and with Sense, I get that little like stutter as well. Sense is just a massive ***** to load up.
I don't know how your getting your keyboard on your homescreen. By default, the keyboard moves everything up no matter what with no settings really. You can have a look in Language and Keyboard but I doubt it.

[Q] No Call list in dialer after 2.3.3 upgrade.

I have recently upgraded my DHD to 2.3.3 and everything seems to work just fine except for one thing.
In the dialer, the area above the buttons usually show my recent call list and if I press any numbers it shows quick contacts lookup.
After the upgrade however, this area is blank. I played a bit around with the dialer and noticed that if I press a few numbers and then delete them again, the blank area is suddently showing the contacts list again (as it is supposed to). After that it works as it normally would in the dialer.
I talked to a few others which have similar problems but we havent been able to pinpoint a pattern for why this happens.
Anyone inhere have the same problem and more importantly - anyone that knows how to fix this?
I did a normal upgrade without factory reset - one of the other guys with the problem did a factory reset as well.
If you are using a non-stock launcher (ADW / LauncherPro etc...) you must delete the shortcut from your homescreen or dock, and re-add it. Also, if you launch phone from the app drawer, it should appear normal.
How did you work that out? Very impressed! Been bugging me for days.

Anyway to disable one-handed keyboard fully?

I actually really dig the stock keyboard since it has a row of numbers (my thumb keyboard doesn't have that!), but one thing that drives me absolutely nuts is how while I am typing away I some how knock something to go into "one-handed mode." It totally throws me off. I then go to settings and manually uncheck it, but is there a way to stop it forever? lol.
Bro, tell me about it. This absolutely drives me nuts. I find that it happens when I hold the UP arrow.
Let me know if you find a fix.
Same here...wtf...I dont understand and can never reproduce the issue
Theres to places in settings that I could find that may be causing this for you.
Settings -> One handed operation
Settings -> Language and input -> Samsung Keyboard settings
I have it off in both places and its never switched once for me.
I randomly had the same issue and couldn't figure out how I did it or how to undo it. Finally, I went to settings》one handed operation, and unchecked everything. PROBLEM SOLVED LOL!!!

Both my settings have been set appropriately since day 1 (I dont like one-handed operation). Apparently, on the note 10.1, you can pinch the keyboard to change modes. Is this just a glitch in our phones because sometimes it does toggle the tiny keyboard on my note 2.
very random, super annoying...pleaseee samsung fix this issue, give us multi-touch, and pleasee autocorrect my damn messages already. those are my only 3 grievances. oh, and the slight delay with the home and/or power button when turning phone on and/or returning to home screen. am I asking for too much??
edit: fixed home button delay by disabling s-voice via double click... noticeably faster and well worth disabling
While it's not a real solution, the best option IMO is to switch keyboards entirely lol. I prefer the Gingerbread Keyboard and have been using it since my Epic 4G.

I'd be fine with switching the keyboard if I could get a number row like the stock one. I own both Thumb Keyboard and Swift keyboard and I don't see the option for either
Im so glad im not the only one this happens too I hate it but I love the keyboard with the full number row

I have unchecked everything like you mentioned. The kb still changes to one hand operation while typing.
I think to reproduce, you have to press t and v at the same time. To change it back to normal layout, press L and A simultaneously.
It does not work all the time tho.

Does anyone have a possible fix/explanation for this? It's really frustrating and would've switched to a different kb if it weren't for the number row

It has to do with the pinch shortcut to goto one handed mode.... you can do the reverse pinch to go back to two handed mode... but its hardbto do..
I guess its when two fingers hit at once and it thinks you are pinching...I hate it but can not find a.way to disable it..
Yes. Let me DITTO this. All settings turned off but it's the "pinch" gesture or whatever. SUPER ANNOYING.
Please, I need to be able to stop this completely.

I was suffering from the same issue and after reading all these posts I found that a simple pinch to zoom action on the keyboard area will quickly fix it but permanently disabling I don't know
works by pinch zooming
I can change back and forth between keyboards by pinch zooming in and out. Galaxy Note II on AT&T
Im pretty tired as well of this... you type away super fast, come too close, and BOOM the f***er shrinks... pisses me off. Try to un-pinch it 8x before it goes "oh, hey go big again..." If there were only a keyboard out there that looked stock but had the top row of numbers to switch to... I hate this feature and need it GONE!!
One Handed Keyboard
I was having a problem getting the one handed keyboard turned off. I just figured it out. Open up a text & bring up the keyboard now click on the setting icon that is next to the spacebar. Unclick the One-Handed Operation & it is done!:good:

LG Keyboard On Top of Everything

Okay, so this seems to be a bug - LG Keyboard seems to be on top of everything, and when I say that, I mean everything.
For example, my LG Keyboard is on and on the screen, I pull down notifications and they go below the keyboard - so I need to press "Back" button to bring down the keyboard in order to properly view notifications. I believe everyone here who uses Facebook also has the Messenger app - Messenger app has bubbles of people in active conversation - when I drag these bubbles down and I'm typing in any other chat (LG Keyboard is up) they go below the keyboard, they get covered by it.
TL
So, I have absolutely no idea what could be causing this. My last resort is to save videos and images and do a factory reset. I tried looking this very issue up on Google, but no luck. Anyone got any ideas?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but have you tried adjusting the keyboard height?
