Am I the only one? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Am I the only one that finds it irritating that since 7.1.0, if you press enter while a single-line textbox is selected, instead of actually doing the default enter action (go in a browser) it does the equivalent of pressing space?

Anyone? No one else is having this problem? I don't want to keep bumping this topic every few hours but if that's what it takes then so be it...

Where exactly is this happening?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Anywhere there's a one-line text box. The google search app, opera mobile's URL bar (also the default browser), even the "subject" text box of this view (in the XDA app).

Pressing the enter button in those those areas performs just as expected, as if I were pressing the enter button. No issues on my end and I'm running CM 7.1.0.

Any fix for this issue? Do I have to revert to before 7.1.0?

I had about the same thing happen when using Swiftkey since then. Are you using Swiftkey?

Yes... Yes I am. How did you fix the issue? Uninstall SwiftKey?
Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.

I've just been using the stock keyboard for a while and haven't had any problems with it. I haven't heard of an actual fix for Swiftkey unfortunately

Get swype beta. You can always check back in with swift key later. I think there is at least one other reputable keyboard out ther as well.

I noticed this too. We are not alone.

[Q] Switch keyboard types easily?

I'm sure there used to be an easy way to change the keyboard type on the DHD, without having to go into Settings ie switching between QWERTY/Phone Pad/Compact.... I can't remember where this was.
Anybody know?
Hold down any text input box whilst selected, press input method and then choose your keyboard. Note that only the keyboards you have enabled in settings will appear.

When I hold down a text input box I just get the paste option... unless I'm misunderstanding...?
Thanks.

Do you have other keyboards installed AND enabled in Settings > Language & keyboard ?
Well, I've got the three standard HTC keyboards listed there... I don't see where one enables them as such, just a radio button to select the one you want to use.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Oh, I mis read your post. As already said before, it's that hard to change on Android.
The workaround is to install an additional input method; I installed Swype. So I have qwerty on Swype and switch to phone-keypad on the default keyboard.

My physical keyboard

So im sure its posted somewhere on the forms in the cyanogenmod 7 , when I press certain keys on my slide out keypad it takes me elsewhere examples b will pull up my browser,e does my email set up, and s takes me to my SMS lists probably goin to go back to 2.2. If I can't figure it out, at one point it was okay yesterday then it came back so im thinking its a background program and when I reboot it starts up

Maybe try a full wipe and clear dalvik then a fresh flash? I'm not sure as that's never happened to me
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread
This happens to me every now and again. Exp - Ill press the "7" button and get "9" as an out put. I usually just reboot the phone and everything is fine.

ALL you have to do is press the search button, i dont know about the capacitive one but i usually do the hardware one (its closer and im not sure if the other one works) and start typing and everything will be fine!

This has been covered extensively, it's the Quick Launch function. If you don't use it, go into Settings/Applications/Quick Launch and turn off all the key mappings there.

Swype on galaxy problem with input method notification?

everytime I use Swype I get a "select input method" notification. I'm running axi0m2.2 and have used two different Swype programs. Both give me the notification at the top everytime I use it. Anyone have that problem or solution?

It's not a problem that's how it is now whenever you have more than one input method.

I never had that problem and have multiple input methods. Once I select Swype it stays that way. I'm running RomannBB's ROM and this version of Swype : https://plus.google.com/108096915458146487046/posts/DTiEnMemga7

Because roman has an option to turn that off. It has nothing to do with what version of swype and it isn't a problem.

This feature makes no sense. It gives you an icon Everytime you open Swype?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
It gives you an option to change your input method no matter what keyboard you are using without long pressing because Google is trying to move away from long presses. It has nothing to do with swype.

I fully understand that, but is there a way to bypass it? From what i understand on certain roms you can, certain roms you can't? I've tried everything i can but it bothers me, everytime i see it i feel i have a text or e-mail. Very annoying.
You could rename, freeze or delete the other keyboard not in use. This will stop the input in status bar because there no other option to choose.
You could do what the Peron above me said, or you have to flash a rom that removes it unfortunately :/ I know Romans rom AOKP has an option to toggle it on or off.

I discovered a bug in the menu

Hello there
I dont know if this bug is because of my custom rom (Android revolution hd) or its an ics bug but anyway
If u go to the app list menu and go to the last page make sure ur last page is not full (mine has 2 lines of apps only ) and go to an empty place under the apps and click and hold
It will select a widget. Pretty weird right?
It will select the widget from the next page even tho u r not on the widget page.
Has this been addressed before? Sorry if its a repost

AOKP M3 and it doesn't do it. Seems to be related to 4.0.3
woooow it's real !! same here
i'm on 4.0.2 stock.
so it's real, 2012 is coming!
4.0.2 stock here and also have the bug (though I'm not sure what the big deal is, doesn't really affect the usage of the phone in any way)
i only have one empty line on the last page, but pressing and holding down on the empty line, does nothing on my phone.
If you scroll over the next page (1st widget page) and memorise where the widgets are placed you can pick particular widgets from the last app window.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm on 4.0.3, Gummy Nex 0.7 and do not have this "bug."
I'm coming from stock too, and have this.
I actually found it by myself a while back, I was kind of just tapping on the black area below the last page of apps and the toast notification came up saying "touch and hold to pickup a widget" and then what do you know, holding grabs one, lol.

Another interesting menu bug...
Open an app that has the ... menu key bottom right on the softkey area. Then, hit home and very quickly hit the spot where the menu button was (you need to do this during the transition animation). It brings up a launcher/home screen menu with Wallpaper, Manage Apps, System Settings and Help that isn't normally accessible...

[Q] how to disable the "logo" hardware button? sense 6

First off, I am using the "nusense six" Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693502) and have the HTC one m7.
I have never used the stock sense six firmware but I have noticed that on this Rom, if you tap on the screen just above the HTC logo, it acts as if you pressed a hardware menu button (the menu for the app you are on pops up).
This feature is interesting, but the problem is that when I type and push the spacebar ever so slightly too low on the screen, the keyboard closes and the menu pops up. This has finally become annoying enough for me to make this post and I hope someone can help me disable this feature. Thanks!
Also if anyone knows of a relitively stock sense six Rom without this thing, please let me know.

It's just a kernel setting. You should be able to disable it using Trickster Mod.

I have browsed Trickster and can find no way to change this button layout. When I installed NuSense, I chose the option for logo button to be "home" plus "recent apps" out of curiosity. Now I want it back to stock. Where in Trickster mod can one change this?

That's not in trickster. Just reflash the Rom without wiping and select the stock option.
