[Q] Xperia ARC - white space in text message - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This morning i got the .368 update (android 2.3.3), and when i want to type text messages, i get this huge white gap above my text (aobut 5 lines), which means i can't see what i typed previously. Also, the line 'Type your text here' has moved down one line.
Is there a way to fix this? Or do i just have to wait till the 2.3.4 update is available here in Belgium?

Hi.
Can you post a screenshot to illustrate the issue.

Pic 1: The "Type your text here", on preview before typing any text has moved one line.
Pic 2: The empty space above my text when i reply to someone.
Pic 3: One empty line above my text when i type a new message.
Sorry for the poor quality of pictures, i didn't have anything better to make them.
Thx.

That's the new update, nothing that you can do about it, well that I know of? I don't like it myself

The screenshot feature. But as said, that's normal.

I have that too. It is really annoying, since you can't see what the message above it is. I wonder why they messed up that look

Well, doesn't really seem like they intended for this.. (seems like a mistake). Is this fixed in the 2.3.4 update?

You dont have to live with it. Just install an alternate SMS app, e.g. handcent or chomp.

Well you never said you knew that in your OP now did you.
After you reboot and if you go to the log and select one of your text messages or voice mail when you go back into log everything goes away except voice calls so looks like it may just be a glitch that will hopefully be fixed with a update, but maybe you know that already as well.

Something that drives me crazy is the call log. Idk if its a samsung or touchwiz thing, but I had the Epic last yr for a few months and never tried a laucher to see if it changes. Is there a way to get rid of every single call? If I were to get 7 calls in a row from the same person it shows it 7 times. Is there a way to just have it show once rather than having your call log show every calls incoming and outgoing from "Joe".

sorry, this is my first galaxy phone... im sure there is a mod or at least another request thread for that matter....
Yes you need a modded logsprovider.apk. Now that root is acheived I am sure many things will be coming soon. Hopefully CWM will be next.

Dark Gmail?

I searched, and didn't find anything. Is there a dark gmail for the galaxy nexus?

Thanks a lot! I had a dark Gmail app in GB for a while, but it stopped working.
I don't know why Google doesn't make a dark Gmail - it looks better, and is easier on the eyes

Google should do this officially. It would be akin to adding the day/night mode from Google books.

As I understand it you'll need root access to delete the old gmail apk and move the new one to system, so yes.
You don't need CWM or a rom though, just root access on a stock rom and recovey will be fine.
Well I had to take it off, somehow it seems my google music stopped working after installing this. I made a nandroid backup beforehand and as soon as I rolled back my music worked again. Strange. Really seems weird that would cause any issue at all... Maybe it somehow messed up the account syncing since it would only crash the music when I tried to stream music, local content was fine.

Awesome, trying this now. Been hoping for this. The all white makes my eyes water in the morning because it is so bright...
The date on each email looks a little funny because its color is off, and at times goes outside the border. Also the read vs unread black/grey are very similar. It works though. I'll probably live with it.
I've been using this dark gmail app for days and like it. But just today i realized i went to compose a message and there is no way to send the final email. Am i missing something? Doesnt matter whether its a new email, or a reply to an existing email message, i cant send anything!
Am i being stupid or can someone test or confirm this? Thanks.

Been using these for a few weeks on gummy and CNA. Working great and they look good too.
Ok after more digging, this dark gmail is acting weird for me. It is the new ice cream version for everything including inbox etx. But when i compose a new email or reply to existing one, the compose window goes back to the gingerbread one, AND it has no send button. And no action bar etc. But if i go back to the inbox its fine there. I just cant compose.
Only change ive done is 2 days ago flashed the transparent status bar system ui apk. Im on stock 4.0.1. Anyone know what the heck could be going on here?

i just installed the gmail app from that link, and it is the old version just like it said. not the new ICS version. dammit i just want black gmail!
this might help other people. the link in the beginning of the thread had a broken gmail apk, the send button was missing with other stuff. it was all fixed and can be had over at this thread from the nexus s forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412997
that thread actually links back to the one at beginning of this thread, but dont know yet if they updated to the fixed send button version. anyway this has been driving me nuts and glad i finally found the solution.
regarding the other link to the (http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/downloads.php) i tried the google + from that and it also did not work, and broke my system UI. so i dont know if it needs to be for 4.0.3 or what, but i'm on 4.0.1 and it doesnt mention any info about that. hope this saves others some time!

Weird SMS Anomaly

Whenever I use the stock sms app and receive a message, I get this weird thing going on (screenshot is included). I'm running the the latest stock rooted OTA (LI3) currently but before then I was running MIUI and I didn't experience this issue.
It ONLY happens with the stock messaging app. I tried it with ChompSMS and other things to reproduce a 'ticker' notification in my status bar and I don't get it with anything else. At first I thought it was a defect with my phone but seeing as how only one app is causing it then it must just be the app.
Anyone have a clue of what this could be or a fix? I'm currently waiting for the stock OTA to complete downloading so I can reflash but it's taking a while.
Thanks for all the help.
This thread can be deleted. I reflashed the stock ota over my already stock set up and it fixed the problem.
Just wondering what was the problem
In the screenshot it looked like you sent your self txts

Yes I did. But look in my status bar beside the first letter of the incoming text message after my name. It was a strange thing going on. But it's resolved now.
Edit: It's back. I'm not sure why but I'm actually not bothered by it at the moment. If anyone could tell me, still, why this is happening it'd be greatly appreciated.

Are you talking about that phantom-like pipe character in front of the "T"?
The only thing I can think of is a corruption in system/framework, but I have a feeling that's just me reaching for an answer.

Thanks. I think I figured out why I got that weird thing, I changed some font files so I was able to see emoji natively and I forgot I changed them.

Spoof or 4.4 update rolling out?

I got this garbled text a few hours ago but can't make anything of it. A Google search suggested that it might have something to do with an OTA update but I'm not stock so...
What do you guys think?

looks like a bad message, bad emoji encoding because of the rom you're on or messaging app you're using. Couldn't find anything on Google

ahh ok thanks :good: Yeah i'm just on the stock rom with stock messaging app. I just googled "text from 1511" and there was only 1 link with anything. Bunch of people said they got a weird text from it, but theirs apparently told them to delete it and reboot the phone for a software update.

LG Keyboard update

I don't know if this merits a thread or not, but I figured it warranted mentioning.
I just received the LG keyboard update. There isn't a changelog readily available, but I'm assuming this is the update that learns what you type on a per-app basis, and includes whatever other changes (what are they again?).
One difference I am noticing right away is that as you "swype" now, the word(s) you're passing your thumb across automatically appear, as opposed to appearing after you've finished the word. The swyping appears to be more accurate, which was one small gripe I had before. The other thing I'm noticing that makes a HUGE difference for me is that spaces aren't always inserted when you've selected an auto-correction. It's difficult to explain but makes a big difference. I'm obsessively picky about keyboards, so I'll keep dissecting the update as I use it.
Nice update. Anyone notice anything else find something worth mentioning?
Oh, right. And now words bring up emoji. ?. I could go for some right now.
Thanks for the heads up, just updated. Could be placebo but it does indeed feel a little snappier.

TONS of difference in lag. Can actually have all of the features activated and still type effectively. Word suggestions are now bilingual without having to switch the dictionary at the bottom (if you have a bilingual option selected). Works great for speaking spanglish...

Totally agree. It's far better than it was.
It sucks. Can't compare to google or swiftkey
I recently switched from Swype because of massive lag and bug problems. I must say the lg keyboard is just as good if not better in some respects to Swype which when working i think it's haha down the best keyboard on the market. Very impressed with lg's keyboard attempt on this phone.
I got the update. Then i had to replace my g3 (camera issue) i dont have the update for the keyboard. I go to apps update and the keyboard is not listed. I am almost positive that it was listed on the other g3
