Found this issue on my one X. The arrow/direction key seem to be gone from keyboard when using 3rd parties apps. (Whatsapp / Line / Facebook / Path / etc)
But it seem to be working fine on web browser, text message, google search widget and some other apps that came along with the phone.

*Yes it does help, but for only the very one first time after I came out from the apps and went back in they keyboard arrow/direction key is gone again.
Solution HTC support gave

Keep your phone in safe mode for one day and check whether the direction arrow atill keeps disappear. Thanks!
*But it is not doing any good

It's apps which aren't ICS-optimised yet. The on-screen menu button covers the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Be interesting to see what they say; whether it's intentional to not reduce screen area any further when both keyboard and menu button are displayed, or whether it's just badly designed.
Other keyboards with arrows (like SwiftKey) still display them along with the menu button (everything's just shifted a row up), so it's specific to HTC's keyboard design.

Instead of making 2 separate posts, i thought i'd put my 2 issues into a single post. I have a european TP2 running the stock rom.
1) I dont know at what point it happened, but my 'long press end key' icon in settings has disappeared. I have no idea what might have caused this, but it was there originally since i set the long press to terminate the data connection. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how i can get it back, or at least what registry keys that i can modify to select one of the 4 options?
2) I'm not sure if i'm using the right term, but i was wondering how i can disable the unified messaging center. I'm referring to the new text messaging interface that comes up when i click a message in TF3D that also includes the contact card, email, events and call history. I've looked through all of the forum posts but i havent been able to find a post regarding this. As bland as the MS threaded messaging interface is, i prefer it to what HTC has done, mainly because it shows more messages and that i can resize the bottom portion where i type.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
1) Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons > End Key
2) Still finding the solution
1) Settings>Personal>Buttons>End Key
2) I know it doesn't directly answer your question but from the TF3D I just press the "All Messages" soft button on the left to get to the MS inbox
Thank you for replying so quickly.
In Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons, i dont have the end key as an option, the only button i have is the 'Send Key(Hold)'. After doing a lot of searching, i found the 'LongPressEndKeyApp.exe' file in the windows directory, and that brings up the menu like the icon in the setting's menu did before. I still think its strange that it's no longer under settings, but at least i found a solution.
As for my second question, thanks for the suggestion to click on 'All messages', but i still wish i could just click the message like in the Diamond/Pro. I'm just quibbling over a minor point, so its not a big deal. =P
Thanks for the responses.
"End Key" should be the 3rd tab once inside Buttons settings

Thanks for the visual aid Mesquire, turns out that i never had the long press end key in my settings, it was under 'buttons' the whole time. Well i feel dumb, but thats what i get for switching between by old TP and the TP2. lol
Hi guys, I am not sure if it's the place I should post this, if not mods plz move my thread to the appropriated message board.
Recently my phone fell off my desk head on. Right on the top of the phone. Now the button on/off is not functioning. I can still use the phone but as soon as it close the screen I can't light it up again. In the options I manage the let the screen open at all time but...
Bell is asking for a couple hundred bucks for repair or couple hundred to cancel my contract.
I was wondering if it was possible to some how make the camera button the on/off fonction.
I haven't open the phone yet (screws) to check the damage internally, I may be able to fix it but I doubt it.
I'll post pictures later tomorrow.
Do you guys have any ideas?
yes, check out AE button plus, you can't set it to power on the phone however you can set it to power the screen on and off. However to turn the screen on with a button other then the power button you must change the settings in key lock under settings/system/key lock you must set it do not lock buttons, otherwise no button will function, the only thing is that your call end buttons work as well.
get AE button plus
set whatever button to power on/off the backlight
disable key lock on screen power off
good luck
wow jeez thx.
I had a very hard time to find it for free so here's the cab

Same thing happened to me. This is what I did and I fixed it.
1. Take the battery cover off
2. Look at where the power button is, if you look closely you will the the button "hinges on the right side"

Hi. My new Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition has a major problem: the Home button and back and menu buttons stop working from time to time. Same thing with the on off button that refuses to turn the tablet off. Happens randomly, whenever the pen is in or out. To turn off, I have to plug the tablet on charger, then hold the on-off button for many seconds. Rather annoying. Had the same problem with my other 10.1 2014.... that I scraped trying to change the battery. Any help will be welcome.

Hi,
Mine has the same issue. Reckon it is a factory defect.
However, I'm using Settings -> Device -> Accessibility -> Assistant menu.
With this function, found no problem to navigate around.
Or,
You can use "Pie Control (Pro)" app or "OmniSwitch" app
in order to use the softkey buttons.
Hope this is helpful for you.

YES! Thank you, it works. When I think that when the first 2014 edition had that problem, I was convinced it was a battery defect and I ordered one new. I opened the case following the instructions, but I was unlucky and I broke the connector behind the Home button. Then, trying to unbend (?) the bottom section, il really broke. I now have two spare batteries... Next time, I'll ask the specialists.
Just got my Nexus 5x Thursday, love it except the one thing that will cause me to send it back on Monday if I can't figure this out.
In the default messaging app the microphone key is directly below the send key so every time I hit the microphone key with my fat fingers I hit the send key. I have yet to get the microphone to come up, the wife and kids can hit it just fine.
Question is can this microphone key be moved easily without having to buy some other keyboard app, rooting, or installing a custom ROM?
Navigate to the keyboard settings (from settings, or by holding the comma key then selecting Android Keyboard Settings (AOSP)) > Preferences ~ Voice input key.
Or use one of the many free keyboards. I sometimes use Swiftkey.

i don't think this is what OP is looking for, since this options just disables the button and doesn't move it. but it seems that this is the only option available influencing the button at all.
considering the 'send' button only shows up once there was an actual input and also not having any problems so far with my own big paws, the only suggestions i can make are:
-aiming lower on the button
-using voice input (only) from the start of the message
-try another app for a more intelligent positioning of the 'send' button (hangouts?)
-(temporarily) switching to voice-input as active keyboard

Thanks for the reply. That only removes the Mic key, doesn't give me the option to move they key to a different location (some place NOT by the send key). I have been trying the free keyboards but no luck so far.
Thanks again

I've owned S5 to S7 Samsung phones and a long time, old ass Android user here, but I can't seem to configure the pull down menu to swap in preferred shortcuts. For some reason, my phone defaults to crap like FTP Server and LiveCaption. So, I swiped down twice, hit the three button menu key and hit Button Order. I then drag the four buttons I'd prefer to the top and hit Done.
Nothing. As soon as I go back to the home screen, I'm still getting the same useless shortcuts that my phone has randomly defaulted to. I've gone in to button order (and when it takes me to the option to pick which shortcuts I want, it's showing all of the ones that I had selected on my previous attempt) and hit reset and selected them again by dragging them to the top. When I hit Done, it exits back, but no change.
I've soft reset the phone, I've booted into safe mode - both times I tried to change the button order - both times no change. The phone is completely up to date. Samsung Tech Support isn't giving me any answers. Do I have to try a factory wipe or is there some other step I've missed along the way?

It works fine on mine.
Here is my screen shots. I moved my flight mode to the blue tooth location and click on done.
It is swapped.
