Apologies for posting this here rather than the Developer section, which as a new user I'm not allowed to post to.
I'm an experienced Android developer and I'm having problems with a standard PreferenceActivity on the HTC WildFire. The EditText box is squashed when the on screen keyboard appears, and it's not possible to see what's being typed.
I've made a post about this on StackOverflow, but an acceptable solution hasn't been posted yet. I can't post the link, but you'll find it on StackOverflow dot com at /questions/6087131/sharedpreferences-edittext-dialog-squashed-on-htc-wildfire
I checked some posts here and found a similar problem that was solved by setting the minSdkVersion to more than 3, which it is (it's set to 7), so that didn't help me.
Has anyone managed to solve this? I have many customers using the WildFire and I can't seem to solve this. Please help!

The wiki ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com ) contains a tiny start of what could become a very nice FAQ. I do not have time over the next weeks to expand what's there, and appeal to any and all with some time on their hands to please see if they can add structure, or just questions and their answers. Feel free to change it until it's good, that's what wikis are for.
Nice post peter
Question for you
How would you feel if you had spent over 2 months building a wiki for the blueangel, posting the files to the ftp site, to find that they got deleted on the 16 .
Pm 2 admins, one picking up the pm but not repliying, the orher not picking up the pm.
Rebuilding the trashed ftp site, re linking the wiki links, Posting to the ftp non public thread, reading that it will happen soon, watching the ftp site getting trashed again (today) and then reading your reqest?
Ps you have a pm from me datedted 16 march, feel like picking it up?
Why this beautifull FAQ (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel) is not visible for ordinary people? I found it by accident.
But it is!
Top of screen to the right is the link wiki.xda-developers.com
On that page under HTC Device you will find Blueangel
The Blueangel Link gets you to that page
Never thought that behind these WiKi activities this FAQ is hidden - put another link under this WiKi.XDA-devloppers.com link with something like "How Blue Angel works" or "Blue Angel FAQ" or "Knowledgebase". So a person who visits for the first time immediatly sees this fine product of hard labor.
What happen to the Magician section ? Are we being ignore ???
Well, I really love your job, however, my device is being left out !!
Wiki like the forum is user driven. In short if no user feels the need or want to update wiki then it just does not happen.
You dont need to be a moderator to add pages in wiki, you dont even need to be good in english for somebody down the line will add or correct your page.
I have to say - that's a real shame.
There's a lot of information requested on these forums that has been requested before - but often it's buried deep in a confusing thread (most recently the splash image tweaks for the HTC Wizard - I have no idea what util tweaks what splash).
I just created a Wiki page (search for my username, I guess - it's not really linked from anything much yet), and I plan to create more related to the Wizard as time becomes available.
Wikis are inherently much better at giving concise information than an open-discussion forum... wish people would use it.

Hi guys, is it possible to have access to google-analytics results? Since we need to know for what the users are looking for - the most common search, how they act in site (in wiki! and so on)
Then we can make THE wiki.

after i upgrade to new rom it stop at the splash screen..
is any way i can solve it?
also i bought the MDA pro from internet ..i don't think i have any warrant
i think you should search the forums, or at least review the index of recent activity.... this is a common problem and unwilling to create another posting on something that is solved already.
Also, please ensure your topic line has the problem, not just help. Read the very first post in any topic area.
Hi,
I'm trying since yesterday, but it seems that the old posts, shown by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=xxx are no longer visible, I'm getting a standard 404 error. Also the new URLs to the threads seem to have changed to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=xxx but the thread ids are not same as the old one.....can someone throw more light?
TIA,
Dushkal
This is quite bad. It means that the majority of the links in the wiki are now broken. As are all the inter-forum links within the posts. Is it possible to create a viewtopic.php that redirects to the new link for the discussion? Is the mapping from old ID to new ID available? If so, you could even write a script to update the wiki & forum automatically.
A redirect would be simpler however. You'd want to preserve permalinks to individual posts if possible as some of the discussions are incredibly long with lots of links to particular key posts with cab files and such like.
Flar, the forum admin is already aware of this issue... a solution might come after a while, just be patient
Thanks to deckardt it is fixed now for the threadid and postid requests
Why is it that when ever i open this forum it always sorts it by thread title?!
Never seen this, can you post a print screen ??
Okay, when i open the wizard forum it defaults like this...
http://www.tleask.plus.com/xda.png
When i came in here, the order was by last post (which is good)
Thanks
Ok what I see is that you have 3XX pages at the top of the screen, I have 2
Please check the sort order, end of page, bottom left. should be my date.
Ps for that you need to go back into the wizard section (not like now when you are in a thread)
I have the same problem. When I change the sort order through the drop down list, it only stays in effect until I leave the Wizard sub-forum.
The easiest workaround I've found is to click on the "Last Post" link which causes it to re-sort, but the underlying problem still exists. I have to do this every time I re-enter that sub-forum.
Any help with this would be appreciated!
OK, I just rechecked. None of those drop down menus under "Display Options" stick after leaving the page. And neither does clicking on "Last Post."
Under "Display Options," the selections that are stuck are:
Sorted By: Thread Title
(Never selected before this problem)
Sort Order: Ascending
(Never selected before this problem)
From The: Beginning
(The only one of these options that I had ever selected before this problem occurred. The one that changed the number of pages in the forum to over 300)
All of my other sub-forum views are set to:
Sorted By: Last Post Time
Sort Order: Descending
From The: Beginning
(Without any display problems)
This works fine, even with the General sub-forum. the only distinction I see that might effect this is the sheer number of posts in the sub-forum.
General only has just under 5,000 posts, at second most. But the Wizard sub-forum has well in excess of 7,500 posts.
I hope this helps narrow down this annoying problem!
Ok, I read what you are saying but I cant fix it.
I will post this thread in the mod section and one of the site admins needs to look at it, its a setup issue and out of my hands.
Thanks! That's all we ask!
Can you confirm if you have the same patten or a new one
(settings have been changed)
Works a treat! (To borrow a phrase from our friends across the pond...)
Nice to have a happy Bunny !!!
Ta for pointing it out.
Cheers guys! All sorted!
Hey guys
I bought my htc pro2 hoping I would find a forum that what not look at me arrogantly because of me being a noobie. I am really amazed here, in the other sections like TOUCH HD when I owned one the forum members used to answer and help me alot.
While here no one even bothers
I have 2 main question
1- Is there a way to write and read arabic and hebrew
2- How can I fix the gps using IGO, I noticed it is not very accuarte when it comes to its location by about some meters
I know after I wrote this no one will answer
I ran a quick search to find what you're looking for (use this link for quick finds: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all )
Here's one on hebrew support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532165&page=2
And one on IGO8 (there are several GPS threads to choose from) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562245
Hope that helps...
this is the solution to your problem--- USE THE SEARCH FEATURE!!! im not trying to be rude but thats why the search feature is there and obviously it wasnt that hard to find ur answer bc the previous poster found it quickly...again, not trying to get a tude, just trying to help
It might help if you put some clue to what you want in your title. Otherwise, someone who knows the answer may not even look.
A thread titled "I am really wondering why no one ansers my question- is it crime to be noobie" just sounds like a thread where someone is whining about not being answered.
I would title it something like "HELP: How to input arabic & hebrew? / Fix the gps using IGO?" It would help people notice your actual intent. No one is going to be doing a full text search for threads they can answer.

No, wrong.
(1) The word "HELP" does not add anything. A good title would be: Support for Hebrew/Arabic Input
(2) These are two separate topics that deserve separate threads.
