[Q] Xperia S keyboard - keypad mode - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

How do you make it show the keypad?
One 1 particular website I visit it will always show in keypad mode (which I want). However on other sites it will only display the full keyboard which annoys me when I want to input numbers. Is there a way to make it display?
Can post screenshots if needed.

You should have a little button on the bottom left to turn it to numbers and special charters like! !?)#-,(/

yes I do have that but that is not a keypad. When you press that button you are greeted with the following.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The keypad I am talking about is the following.
Please note that this is not the 1st keyboard available in the keyboard layout section. In that layout the numbers whilst in a keypad style are in the middle of the screen. Surely there is a way to get to that screen with a shortcut.

is this you're looking for?
go to settings>language and input>xperia keyboard(if youre using xperia keyboard),click the settings at right corner>personalization guide>then you can change the layout of your keyboard.

No that is the keyboard layout section that i was referring to earlier.
This seems to be an almost hidden keypad available with the "Full keyboard". I literally only find it available on that website. I want it available on all websites.

I also have had a web site asking for just a zip code pull up just the daily pad. It may have been triggered by the web pages html code. I have seen the option in keyboard settings, but have no idea how to switch while typing.

No. He (and I, and a few others also) meant the Full Keyboard, but at certain apps, it request the number pad only. And it forces that layout, just like T9, but the rest is on the full QWERTY.

to this?
If you long press in the writing area, you'll get the option to change input method and there you'll be able to shift between keyboards. For example, if you have installed Swype, it'll be shown there.
I'm just have this option
That's because you don't have any other keyboard installed on your phone.
There are numerous keyboards available on the market. Personally, I prefer Swype 3.0 beta. You can find it here <beta.swype.com/>
Other keyboards you could try out are SwiftKey, SlideIT, TouchPal etc. Just have a look at the android market.
You can do it SE keyboard.
It will automatically change to tat one when you typing in numbers field(Phone no.)
Try some other keyboard like BetterKeyboard.
If it just appear on the number field, then the alphabet on the number is useless, right?

Yeah,tat is useless.

Are you looking for something in particular or just a method to change keyboards?

no, I'm not ask about method to change keyboard, but I want to change the keyboard into dial number like my first post
Well, you can do that with Swype. (I am talking with reference to Swype as that's my preferred keyboard).
To display the numeric keypad, press the Swype key + 5.
​
And you should get this.
​
If this was useful, use the Thanks button.
BTW, CNET has a helpful article on 7 Swype keyboard tips for better Swyping. Do check it out if you end up getting Swype.
Cheers!​
Well, uhh, the dial number doesn't got alphabet like my first post huh? =p thanks anyway

I can't vouch for it as I've never tried it but the (EvenBetter)NumberPad Keyboard seems to have what you seem to be looking for.
Also you can try Better Keyboard.

[Q] Go Launcher probs!

See in these pics.. the text is overlapping.. any way to fix it?
You can either remove the upper tab or change the grid to 3x4. Other than that, nothing you can do. It's overlapping because the screen is tiny. You can also try making the icons smaller from the preferences.
If my memory serves me correct, there is a setting for this in the go launcher settings panel, I think you must untick auto size or fit or something like that. I have never had this problem before but I dont use go luncher anymore (I don't like it)
maybe its a your ROM? I am sure that updating my ROM once (I think to the Indian version) changed and aligned my icons better but I am not sure. I change ROM's often
Sticking with the South African version now thanks to Sir Doky
No such option as far as I can see. The only similar option is for the home screen, and it's for widgets.
Also it might be your system font because I've never had that problem with Go.

Can't you change the font size settings to make them a bit smaller, would that work for you?
From the GO Launcher menu, go on Visual, scroll down to Font, press App Name Size, then press DIY Size and select a smaller text size...

you're on the old version of go launcher
Who, me? That's the version that the custom rom I'm using has..

[APP] Keyboard S

I've been using this app called Keypad S for a few days as one of my lockscreen shortcuts (and nova launcher gesture targets).
I think the idea is genius and the implementation is very clean and fast. It works extremely well as an app launcher (google search is awful at that) and a T9 dialer.
Keypad S is a super dialer for Android phones. You could use it to search for apps, bookmarks, contact names, email addresses, phone numbers. All in one place.
How to use?
1. Type in the query using the number keys with corresponding letters: e.g. 36245 for "email" app
2. The search results will instantly appear on top as you type
3. Click the icon in search results to open it, or click the phone key to dial the number

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a good implementation of search. But I'm pretty sure the Google search app is good enough for this.

Main reason I went looking for an alternative was that google search fails to find my apps half the time (or it takes ~5 seconds). I've done EVERYTHING to find the issue and I came up empty handed.

This Menu button only appears, if phone doesn't have hardware Menu button.
If you use on-screen buttons, which doesn't have menu button either, then that button appears in some apps.
But I have used a ROM:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786871
It has this button too. I want to know how to make this button apear.
As I said, that Menu button appears if phone doesn't have own Menu key (enabled).

But that ROM don't have any on screen button, and the hard-ware Menu key is still working.
In total, do you know what to let it apear

I'm not sure, but mine seemed to turn up when I flashed AeonWorld's Xperia S Lockscreen. It does however, turn up in every app, like the web browser or youtube. The Links below:

decompile framework-res.apk go to res/values/bools.xml and change the line navigationmenu(something like this don't remember exactly) to "true"

anyone else having issues with poweramp?

I'm on latest omega, 24 I think it is.
my poweramp has a really weird issue, my 'Song's list option is hiding under the 'Folders/Library' banner at the top. its only when I put it into landscape mode that I can even see a little bit of the bottom of Songs. check out the pic

the second issue I'm having is when I longpress the call button on stock samsung headphones it doesn't skip tracks anymore, I have to use the 'use double/triple press instead of long press' advanced menu option, I'd prefer to use long press.
I had this issue on omega 23.3 as well. can anyone else tell me if this is a common problem?

Yea i have the same issue with the menu. Untick settings>look and feel>menus>bottom action bar and it should go back to normal.
Dont know about your second issue sorry.
Same problem here, I just unticked "Action Bar" in Look and Feel > Menus as a quick workaround.

Thanks guys, you should see the responses poweramp support team gave me.. felt like I was talking to a bunch of monkeys.. lol
saying things like 'try scrolling down derp derp'
after I sent them pictures and then a side by side comparison of how it works on one phone vs mine.. then they said 'clear my cache'... lmao
should have went to xda first. I think I might just install a working version of poweramp from before they messed it up. anyone know the last fully functional version?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hi, I think you're using Omega v34 (latest build) and I've been using poweramp since I was still using SGS 2. Long press to skip track is no longer working in JB 4.1.1 and up because by default it's suppose to bring up Google Now. In other ROM without Google Now implemented it should work just fine. About the issue on lanscape/horizontal mode, I don't have it. I'm using poweramp build 2.05 488.
Edit: Like those fellow xda members said, removing the action bar should fix your problem with landscape mode
