Hello all. I have been running into a problem with my incredible since I've installed the first CM7. My problem is the keyboard on the default text app dissapears randomly. There has been no rhyme or reason that I've noticed. It doesn't happen at the same time, and sometimes it acts differently. Sometimes just the Smiley pop out will only show the bounding box, none of the Smiley icons, though if I scroll over them and release, they will still be input into the text. Another problem is the whole keyboard disappearing, though like my other issue, I can still press where the keys should be and they will be input into the text message. I haven't had this problem with the keyboard on any other app than the default text messenger. The only way to fix that I have found is to restart the phone. I have tried holding the back button while on the app, with the CM7 task killer turned on. Any help would be great, though it's not a huge problem, it is annoying.
Thanks, Twisted Politiks

Am I really the only one with this problem?

This morning out of the blue my phone started using voice notifications and I can't turn it off, and don't see anywhere in the settings where this can be changed or even activated. It will tell me every time I get a email or text and it's very frustrating because I have different notification sounds already assigned, I don't want to hear you have 7 emails, or you have a text from Amber's cell.
Is anyone else having this issue? I have re-started my phone and it's still doing it, and it's a non-rooted phone. Any help would be great.
Never mind, I figured it out, I had driver mode on, must have accidentally cut it on.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII EPIC 4g Touch on XDA Premium!
Is there anyway that the notification bar can be pulled down while on a phone call? I know I'm able to do it on my evo lte, but can not do it on my nexus in case I get a message or email and want to look at it without having to press the home key then going into the app.
I noticed that vanilla android phones are the only ones I cannot do this on. Thanks.

Press home and then you should have access to rest of your phone. As much as i hate atnt, multitasking with voice and data is still crazy awesome to me.
butter and jelly please...
Try AOKP ROM, there is an option to enable notification bar while in calls.
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:
Hi everyone!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III on sprint, its running the stock ROM and needs to stay that way. The problem I am having is that the phone will NOT let me turn off swype. The option to deselect it is greyed out. This is VERY annoying because while typing a text message, I will sometimes role my finger a bit to one side, or i wont pick my finger up all the way. This results in massive typos and makes txting take about twice as long as it took me on my HTC Evo 4G. I have attached a screen shot of the screen showing the greyed out selection. Any help with this huge issue would be amazing!
Also, has anyone noticed an error where when typing a txt, the phone will offer you a word and if you take that suggestion and tap it, sometimes it deletes almost your whole txt message and you have to start over? I have had this happen way too many times for this not to be some strange programming error.
Anyway, thanks!
It looks like you have your default set to the Samsung Keyboard, I think that's about as much as you can do. I don't seem to understand your problem, if you're not using Swype why do you need to disable it entirely?
If you're using the Samsung Keyboard make sure you turn off the "Flow" setting. Tap the little gear at the right of the keyboard name. Or switch to a keyboard that doesn't have a "flow" setting like AI Keyboard or Thumb Keyboard. Whatever you do, don't use Swype if you don't want one finger sliding typing.
Yep!
Yep, you figured it out! Thanks mordbane! That was what fixed it! This is why I like xda and have been a member and coming here for so long, you guys have never failed me. I have attached a image of the setting I had to deselect! It was the T9 trace! No more badly messed up txts and typos! I just tested and now I can txt at a high speed with out any typos at all!
Seriously though, thanks again!
