I changed from a TILT2 to the Mytouch 3g slide awhile back and the one thing I miss is not having the arrow buttons, especially the backpsace (without deleting). I used a lot for correcting spelling errors in links and in text.
Anybody know of any ways to get a backspace key on the physical keyboard, by an add-on app or any other way?
Thanks in advance...

Is there any way to turn off the predictive text thing?
It is mad annoying and always puts words I dont want.
Also, some of the symbols are mixed up. For example, when I hold down the M key trying to type a !, it puts =, and i have to press Q which should be %.
Anyone else have these problems?

you have two different problems
1) hit alt and space.. and just turn off the predictive
2) download the new eT9 from my signature and copy to your phone and install the cab and that will fix your keyboard
Thanks!
Both of those worked and I also hit up your Vista steez start button.
Looks good!
is there a t9 phone keypad keyboard for the touch pro 2?
like a regular phone with ABC DEF GHI JKL
and so forth..
i had a g1 and a mytouch 3g and i managed to get one off these forums..
annyoonne???
Yes there is.. While in the text box (with the keyboard closed), on the bottom for the screen shows the virtual keyboard soft key.. click it, and then on the right of the kb soft key is a arrow pointed up.. its a small area, so use your nail or the stylus.. then it'll give some input options.. select the Phone Keypad.. and voila
thanks
that helped a lot
Sometimes this has happened to me and I was wondering on how to fix it and if anyone else has had this issue. Recently when I am in an app and I try to use my Hard keyboard if I press any of these keys it launches an app
(e - email
l - calender
p - don't recall.
g - gmail)
Anyone else see this ever. Usually I just use the onscreen keyboard when this happens and later it works again. This happened to me in the facebook app and also in dolphin browser.

Check Applications --> Quick Launch and see if you have any keys assigned to those apps.
It's my quick launch I think my search key was acting like it was pressed even though it wasn't. Thank you. Most have been stuck. Thank you.
It happens when you press the app key once by accident on the top left of the keyboard. Press it again and it turns off the shortcuts.
The app key? Which one is that? This happens to me a lot and I just mash on the keyboard until it goes away. I also am having problems with the keyboard not working at all. Sometimes I open the phone up and the whole keyboard stops working and I have to reboot the phone.
Also once I was on Dolphin browser and I was logging into Google plus and my numbers were acting funny. I could not press the ALT button to activate the numbers I had to hold the ALT then press the numbers. I thought that was weird.

Do you know any way to disable Quick Launch? Or maybe disabling all the pre-assigned things? --Do Not Want--
Thanks

Long press on the shortcut and it should give you an option to clear it.

The default shortcuts are the search button plus a letter. It happened to me once, and after pushing the search button on the top right of my keyboard a few times, everything started working fine again. Hope that helps.

Keyboard not working...at all
Hey all
CM11, official with apps installed the Captivate Glide physical keyboard is hit or miss. Since the physical keyboard is the WHOLE REASON to try to modify this older phone, its functionality is important. Physical keyboard ALT commands (#'s etc) do not work in any application. The letter keys works...sometimes. I have used default keyboard settings and have no idea whehter there is a fix on the main CM11 thread.
Many thansk!:good:
Alt is a non stick key

Well the thing is alt in cm11 is not a sticky key but its non stick . What i mean by that is that if you wanna type '1'. Keep 'ALT' pressed and hit the number '1' in blue on the keyboard. the alt key dosent seem to stick for some reason.
this is actually cause of the google ime treating our physical qwerty as a desktop keyboard i think where alt is also non stick.

"Alt" doesn't work at all -- even if held during typing. I will keep searching for keyboard fixes I guess. Since the keyboard is 100% of the reason to use the Captivate Glide, it's utility is a major issue. Many thanks for your reply!
My fiance has a MyTouch 3G Slide, and her keyboard has been acting funny. The keyboard seems to be malfunctioning when in use. It's not all keys, but certain keys, where if she types these specific keys, they will randomly type other random letters. She did drop it, so I'm guessing the dropping caught up and the keyboard developed this problem. Is there any way to fix this?

Is this phone rooted or have a custom rom?
Hi all.
I'm having an 'interesting' keyboard problem/bug. It seems as if the keyboard is too 'high up' on the screen (as in z-position).
In the attached picture the blue 'cursor' thing (1) that you drag to move the cursor around sits under the keyboard meaning you can't drag it.
Secondly, when holding down the '.' (2) key to bring up the symbols quick menu, it seems to appear under the main keyboard. I'm only guessing this because the main keyboard dims and the symbols are still entered if you randomly touch the screen near where they should be.
So far my only solution is to reboot.
Any ideas?

Yes the hiding keyboard problem happens to me as well but it's so rare, I didn't really give it much thought. Just use the Sym keyboard.
it a only happens in google voice for me and it SUCKS...!!! lol
