Got a quick question that i'm hoping you guys can help me with:
Is there a way to completely disable the slide out keybaord on a Tilt2?
I recently woke up to my phone sitting in a puddle of water all night and promptly started freaking out. Fortunately the phone is ok, for the most part. The only issue is the physical keyboard. Water must have damaged part of the board because now when I go to send txt messages, it starts spitting out random characters as if some of the buttons are stuck in the down position. Same thing happens when i go to make a call.
I've narrowed it down to the top 2 rows of the keyboard not functioning, and the characters that on the top 2 rows are the numbers and letters that keep repeating any time I try to enter text into a field.

To disable the keyboard, just don't slide it out and use it. It's that simple. lol
Yeah unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter if the keyboard is out or not. Thats why I am trying to disable it completely.
I saw another post where someone had the same problem. The solution that came up was to change the keyboard's registry value to 0. But it didn't work for me.

I've searched, but couldn't find anything about this.
When I open the keyboard when replying to a text message sometimes the text reply box partially disappears off the bottom of the screen and you can only see the top line. Annoyingly it stays like this until I soft reset.
Does anyone have any solution for this?
I've had this same error since WM 5, through 6.1, and still on 6.5. I was very disappointing to see this bug was not fixed, its such a stupid problem.
It's not a fix but instead of soft reseting just push the keyboard icon on the screen to bring up the keyboard, then push it again and the size will adjust
I don't know if this is the same issue i get from time to time but what happens on mine is that i am able to see at lease part of the field when i input my text but when it goes past that one line it doesn't automatically scroll down so i don't know what i am typing anymore. what i do when that happens is that i go to my task manager and I stop the text messaging; when i bring it back up it is back to normal.
I get all kinds of weird things that happen in the landscape txt screen. YOur problems, and sometimes the right half of the screen will go spastic and show an inverted, backwards, distorted, partial view of the contact photo. Or the right half of the screen will look, well, scrambled, for lack of better description...
Sometimes just tapping in the entry box will fix it.
Other times I will switch to landscape, start to type on the HW keyboard only to find that it only registered the first few characters of what I wrote. I then have to tap the entry area before starting to type again

Is there a way to disable the on-screen keyboard from auto-opening?..Seems like that would resolve the issue.

I've had the exact same issue since getting my Tytn II when it very first came out, on the official software Orange and on my new TP2 with NRG's Photon Rom running 6.5. I can confirm that flicking the on screen keyboard on and then off rectifies the problem everytime. I don't know what causes the issue and it doesn't happen with every message a slight annoyance but opening and closing the on screen keyboard is better then soft resetting
Hello people,
I have a problem when texting with my desire and it's this annoying i think of selling it if no-one has a solution for this.
The problem is when typing a textmessage to someone. When i have like a bigger conversation (in the way that you have to scroll up to see the first textmessage of the conversation) and i'm busy typing the message, the phone would suddenly jump up to the very top of the conversation. The keyboard dissappears and i have to manually scroll down the whole conversation again to be back at the screen where i was writing the message in to continue typing.
It's very annoying and sometime's it happens like 3 times typing one textmessage.
If the conversation is rather big (take 200 textmessages) i'm more busy scrolling than typing. Quite silly for a highend phone.
I flashed, flashed, flashed, full wiped everything over again and the problem just doesn't disappear.
Someone noticed this too?
I also suffer from this annoying issue from time to time. It would be great if somebody could help us!

Since Froyo/Android 2.2;
Sometimes when writing SMS, the typing window can disappear and the display zooms all the way up to the very first message to that contact.
You could scroll back down endlessly of course, but instead just turn the phone to change the screen orientation and you'll get straight back to the text entry window.
SOMEtimes even that doesn't work, in which case menu/add subject. That'll get you back to the text entry window for sure. (Obviously don't actually enter a subject or it'll change the message to an MMS)

Also you can just hold down the Menu button and it will open the keyboard and go back to the bottom of the messages

These posts from the tips and tricks sticky in the general section may help you.
I have 2 very specific happenings with my Note 2.
1) At (seemingly) random intervals, my phone's screen will fade on and off displaying some sort of notification screen that I can't find anywhere. I must have hit this in some settings menu but don't know where. It has big white notifications for missed calls, emails, and texts, all of which are always 0 on the screen. Again, this screen fades in and out in under a second. I even tried a screenshot, but haven't been fast enough.
2) At one point I noticed the RETURN button from the keyboard was replaced with a smiley button. Now it's gone. How can I get it back or to stay?
Also... I love ellipses (three periods in a row). The stock keyboard auto punctuates after one period and puts a space in there which drives me crazy.
Any fixes or suggestions on any of the above things I've noticed?
Edit: Screen Just flashed at 9:30 - Maybe this happens on the half hour or quarter hours. I'll keep watch
Edit2: HAHAHAHAHA... It just did it one minute later. I've got no clue.
Ok, so I figured out how to activate it.
It's sensor related. I have my phone under a lamp. I move my hand over the sensors and I get this notification screen.
I don't mind it, just want to know where it is in the settings or if this is something you can/can't disable.
My guess is that its for when you take your phone out of a pocket the sensor can show you any missed notifications.
For the record, it's missed calls, missed texts, and battery level.
Found my answer in the General Section for the Note 2
The feature I'm describing is the "Quick Glance"
Now... onto figuring out how to get that smiley button back instead of the return! :laugh:
I know this is an old post but I am so glad I found this. It has been driving me nuts seeing that screen come on and go away. I tried everything to replicate it. It happened 5 times over the last 20 minutes while I was watching a movie so I googled it and found this. Anyways...thank you!
Is there any way to lower the S-Pen sensitivty? I had the same problem with my Note 1 in that a lot of time the S-Pen would register and write something even tho it wasn't actually touching the screen. It gets annoying sometimes especially in text messages when I'm trying to use Swype to type out a quick message and it would "Swype" words or letters I wasn't even trying to use. It doesn't do it all the time but when it does it is really annoying.

I have the same problem. I suspect my S-Pen is defective. Samsung wants me to try a factory reset before they replace it but I haven't had a chance.
I was having the same issue. This is what I did and it seemed to help. With the S pen out I turned Airview off then rebooted phone. With the pen still out I turned Airview back on and again rebooted. I repeated the steps with the pen in its home. It has been about 24 hours and seems to be fine, still sensative but not writing or marking all over my work.
Hope I could help out.
Hi there,
This weird thing started a few months ago, and I can't get rid of it.
Long story short, my hands are always sweaty, and I thought that is the main reason of the problem, however, this can happen randomly even if I don't even touch my phone.
First I saw the fingerprint scanner flashing while the phone was locked and sitting on my table, that's when I first saw this problem.
Nowadays, it happens randomly. When I type, when the phone sits on my table, when I try to type messages or when I try to make a phone call. Usually if I rub the spot with some cloth, my pants, t-shirt it goes away for a few minutes.
First, it appeared on the bottom of the screen, when the virtual keyboard is open the "space" button, "n" letter and "k" buttons were acting weird. It's like, when you touch the N letter it jumps up to the K.. when you touch the "space" it jumps up to the N or the K.
Nowadays, it goes all hardcore sometimes.
I have turned on all kinds of stuff in the developer options to see the exact same spot where the error is, as i thought the bottom of the touchscreen is damanged. However, it sometimes does the same thing on the top, on the bottom, center etc.
edit: the two options turned on in the developer settings are: show taps and pointer location.
Here are two youtube videos I was able to record with another phone when my A50 went nuts.
As you can see, the phone is locked, it was sitting on the table and all of a sudden it started doing these crazy stunts..
I hope you guys have a solution for this.
Thanks in advance and have a wonderful day / night!
Best Regards,
Tamas,
Zerovic.
