Hi, I am looking for clues to change some settings of the keyboard when typing. I mean, is there a way (or a trick) to:
1. get pop-up letters (e.g. I press and hold "a" and so it pop-ups "á", "ä", ...) to appear faster;
2. get direction arrows to repeat movement when I press and hold them;
3. and also when using search and during typing there are suggestions, so I hit one of them and could still continue adding additional words into search sentence instead having whatever app to executes search just with the hit word(s)?
Thanks.

Soooo I had to call tmobile warranty. My touch on the my screen no longer works. But what I find crazy is that for this to be a phone that is not just ALL touch im starting to wonder why even have a keyboard or am i just dumb? I cannot press send on a text if i want to send a message. I cannot even save a number 2 my contacts. With out the touch screen am I just SOL till my new phone comes in the mail? I can make phone calls my opening up the keyboard and using the arrow keys. But the limitations with this phone and no touch screen are ridiculous.
Just wondering am I not able to do NOTHING while my touch screen is out? If anything I want to send text messages and I cannot even do that. Any help? PLEASE ASAP THANKS! CED

in your inbox for mms/text, press and hold H for a list of keyboard shortcuts. Press OK to get out of that list. press and hold key for desired shortcut. They are listed below:

But unfortunately, I can't figure out how to actually get the message to send once creating and typing it. Maybe you will have better luck.
Edit: actually you can use front facing buttonto get to start menu then use arrokeys and enter to navigate to (start->settings->personal->buttons), then you can set your ppt button or other button to left softkey and send that way... to get to set the button, use down arrow to get to the button you want,then right arrow once to highlight the "assign a program:" field, hit enter to expand that field, then scroll up or down with arrows to get to the <left softkey> (its at/near the top of the list), then hit enter and "OK" your way out of it. I'm assuming the version of the phone you have has the OK shortcut. You may need to soft reset afterwards, but should be good to go at that point.

The shortcuts are the same for his device, but you may have forgotten that the TMo version is unique in that it has no PTT button, no OK button (the enter key works fine to get rid of the shortcut box, however), and the Start button is actually a Home button. you could install tarkim's key remapper and set a hard key to the left soft button, but I haven't used this in a while and it may require some touch input.
Also, I use ZoomBarPlus which makes the zoombar function as a d-pad with up/down, action, and back keys. If you follow the instructions on the thread, you can omit the inbox from the default action and have ZoomBar work with it.
If these don't do it for you, then just wait it out for a couple of days. TMo sends these replacements out very quickly.
Thanks a lot !! worked like charm !!
Im from India , a place where TP2 is not released ( Can you believe that ?? ) , Hence no service for it..
So checking out some new mobiles or will wait for Q1 of 2011 ..
Example:
When I press the search button, and slide out the keyboard, I tried to search "android market", instead it does this, "android m" then when I press the "a" key again it highlights the rest of it instead of entering the letter "a." Then if its still highlighted and you press the letter "v" it copys it and pastes it again. Keep pressing "v" it keeps pasting it. This is a major problem. Anyone else experience this, or try and see if it happens to you?

Well I pressed menu while on the search screen, and press the search key again(with nothing entered into the text field) now it works.

Hi,
im using the i927 with OsiMood-Rom.
Today its the second time, that my hardware keyboard behaves a bit strange:
- When I press "e" the Email App opens
- When I press "b" the browser opens
First time I got it "repaired" with a reboot, for now a re-open of the keyboard helped.
What is going on there?
That is not a weird behaviour but a feature. It's called "Quick Launch" and is started by pressing and holding the search button on hw keyboard plus any key in the hw keyboard. the "E" key is the default for email (press "Search" + "E" = Email), you can modify this in settings > applications > quick launch
Thanks, I mentioned that it's something like this but I didn't know what other button activates the shortcut or where to disable it

Like me, you might be using the "Search" button (either soft/hardware keys) to launch apps a lot.....most of the time, I end up pressing search plus the first character of an app i want to launch that results in pressing the two keys almost at the same time. That is how I accidentally discovered it....
I was like searching the "Email app" then I accidentally pressed the "E" key while the "Search" key is pressed then I went "How did this thing know that I want to launch Email?"
Press your search key again on your keyboard it is stuck. Happened to me once or twice. Quick launch is launching your short cuts that are programmed because it thinks you are hitting a 2 key combination. (Search and E)
Hello.
On Note2 when you press and hold for 1/2 sec on letter "N" it shows a popup with additional characters to chose from and if you release the button it automatically closes the popup and enters ","
On Note3 the popup stays on screen until you tap on it again. This is very inconvenient. Is there a way make it automatically close the popup and input whatever alt character displayed on the key?
Thank you.
[EDIT]
Found it. You'll need root.
Obviously make backups before attempting change anythings
In /system/csc/features.xml find:
Code:
<CscFeature_Sip_AlternativeCharPopupInput>Stay</CscFeature_Sip_AlternativeCharPopupInput>
replace it with:
Code:
<CscFeature_Sip_AlternativeCharPopupInput>Hide</CscFeature_Sip_AlternativeCharPopupInput>
(alternatively you could either delete|comment that line, or add the new line at the end of the list, it works too)
Everytime when I type into the Google Search bar (called from holding the home button), usually before I could finish typing, my keyboard would disappear along with the text I've typed up to that point. To re-call the keyboard I'd have to tap on the search bar again and retype my query again. Anyone know what's wrong?
