[Q] Keyboard issues? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering if anybody can help?
When using gmail or the messaging app, I've noticed a glitch when pressing the menu key.
Upon pressing the "menu key" and then "attach file" you will notice that the keyboard doesn't dissappear which means I'm unable to select the option required
Pressing the back key to clear the keyboard brings me back to the beginning.
It's only a minor issue but it is frustrating as my Galaxy Note 2 is my main means of communication, document production etc.
Thanks

in settings..buttons what is button 5 set to to open as an app?
from sleuth...
@shadowmite: PTTFix might not help this case since lvsw's ROM isn't from Cingular. Cingular removed button 5 from the standard mapping and attached it to PTT in their ROM. My fix traps the custom messages they generate then re-directs them by interpreting the button manager's registry entries.
@yo3gjc:Sounds like you're mapped to an invalid app or shortcut. You should be able to re-map button 5 using the button manager though.
PTT fix
Yapp, you are right, my device has a cingy origin, the PTT fix is not fixing my problem. Any idea is kindly appreciated
can you see button 5 in button manager? (start->settings->personal tab->Buttons). If so, please post a screencap so we can see what you're trying to tell us.
PTT fix
Yapp I can see it in Button Settings, Button 5 (press and hold), and I can select the application for it but is not functional and when I press it shows me that pop-up message
So it pops the error message no matter what app you select? Looks like a hard reset is in your near future....
PTT fix
Yes this is correct, no metter what apps I am selecting from Button selection the "poo-up" message is there, at least to disble the button, this one is the easiest to be pushed ), and sorry my newbee question, how to do a hard reset, my device is 3 days old, I am still learning it.
tks
Using hardware:
while holding down the left & right softkeys, press the reset button. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen
Using software:
in Settings->System Tab, choose "Clear Storage" and follow the instructions. Not all ROMs have this but yours should.
PTT fix
I've done a hard reset and still the PTT button is not working, another message there is no apps assign for the button but from the buttons selection regardless what apps I am selecting I am getting the same message. Tks for support

you have to assign an application to Button 5, not Button 5 (press and hold)
BINGO!!!!! yes, you are right, is working, so Button 5 press and hold stays unassigned and assign to Button 5, Tks , you make my day

Can't back out of Contacts app

When I press the back button in the Contacts app another screen opens (this one identical to the first, except missing the "Contacts", "Groups", and "Activities" tabs), rather than exiting to the home screen as should be expected. Pressing the back button on this screen does nothing - the only way to exit the app is with the home button.
I have noticed that this does not happen with some ROMs - pressing the back button on the first screen simply exits the app without opening the second screen. Why does this happen, and is there a way to make the app always exit when pressing 'back'? I tried using the Contacts.apk from a ROM in which it works correctly in a ROM in which it does not, but nothing changes.

Press and hold the Contacts icon until the Edit Dock Shortcut window appears. Select Change Shortcut and find Contacts under Applications. Select the icon you want. You must reboot the phone for this fix to work. After the reboot, Contacts will work normally with the ability to "Back Out" to the desktop.
Thanks, that worked perfectly.

[Q] Strange HW-Keyboard behavior

Hi,
im using the i927 with OsiMood-Rom.
Today its the second time, that my hardware keyboard behaves a bit strange:
- When I press "e" the Email App opens
- When I press "b" the browser opens
First time I got it "repaired" with a reboot, for now a re-open of the keyboard helped.
What is going on there?
That is not a weird behaviour but a feature. It's called "Quick Launch" and is started by pressing and holding the search button on hw keyboard plus any key in the hw keyboard. the "E" key is the default for email (press "Search" + "E" = Email), you can modify this in settings > applications > quick launch
Thanks, I mentioned that it's something like this but I didn't know what other button activates the shortcut or where to disable it

Like me, you might be using the "Search" button (either soft/hardware keys) to launch apps a lot.....most of the time, I end up pressing search plus the first character of an app i want to launch that results in pressing the two keys almost at the same time. That is how I accidentally discovered it....
I was like searching the "Email app" then I accidentally pressed the "E" key while the "Search" key is pressed then I went "How did this thing know that I want to launch Email?"
Press your search key again on your keyboard it is stuck. Happened to me once or twice. Quick launch is launching your short cuts that are programmed because it thinks you are hitting a 2 key combination. (Search and E)

[Q] how to invoke keyboard?

Has anyone figured out how to force the keyboard to come up when clicking in a textbox doesn't work?
On other Android devices, holding down the menu button would do it.
Thanks,
