And so far i'm so glad i did. My only gripe is that the keyboard on the iPhone seems much easier to use. does anyone else agree? What good keyboard mods are there out there which could help?

This has me totally lost. You switched from an iPhone keyboard to a Desire one, and are glad you did, but you find the iPhone one easier to use?
No offense but that isn't making too much sense to me
Do you mean you had an iphone and now have a Desire but would like a new iPhone type keyboard on it?

sorry...the topic wasnt really correct...
I've switched from the iphone to the HTC Desire, and i really like the desire, however i find the keyboard harder to use than the iphones one. just want an alternative keyboard that maybe has the buttons spaced better. just find i'm mis-typing a lot. (i know you can go landscape, and i know you can have compact qwerty etc but i want a normal portrait keyboard)
Not exactly what you are asking for, but you could do a search for swype.
It's a keyboard that you just swipe your finger across the correct letters and it somehow works out what you want to type! It's really very accurate.
Failing that you could try better keyboard or smart keyboard pro. I can't remember which, but one of them has skins and iPhone is an option on it.
I recommend Smart Keyboard Pro. Has an iPhone setting I believe.

You'll have to live with this problem mate. It's not the keyboard that's the problem. The iPhone has a feature that guesses which letter your gonna press and it works perfect. Android doesn't have this feature so you have to press the correct key most of the time coz prediction isn't always correct. One tried all the downloadable keyboards but they are not as good as the HTC keyboard. Which Is a shame coz that's not too clever.
P.S
I'm still not used to the keyboard after 2 months. I'm constantly making mistakes.
I now use the phone keypad as its faster to type and more accurate.
swype is the way forward.......imo
Get a swype keyboard.
Start it. Feel frustrated and think what's the hype?
Type some random stuff for fifteen minutes.
You will never look back.
I went with "better keyboard" and have it set to put a dot on the key after it is pressed.
After typing a word, I notice how often I've pressed the wrong keys, yet still it has predicted the correct word/spelling.
Have tried swype, and whilst it's got a certain wow factor, I prefer to touch like a traditional keyboard

Thats nothing like an iPhone keyboard.
But that looks like a good solution so thanks for posting that.

Just tried this its called thickbuttons and its free on the market.
It's terrible. It moves keys about as you type so you can only type slowly. So thanks but no thanks.
I found a really good replacement. I'm using it to type this and its awsome. It's called swiftkey. And its free to use. Search for it on the market. You'll be massively impressed.
What is a good swype keyboard then? As the market comes up blank when searching for swype
SwiftKey is fantastic for me. Has replaced my custom htc ime mod keyboard.

I like the guessing features in swiftkey a lot. But my wish is to have swiftkey work on the phone keypad layout. This is much faster for me and easier to use one handed. At the moment it's only on qwerty type layouts.

Yes. I have succeeded with the Logitech diNovo keyboard/mousepad.
Really? Very good!!!! Thank you!
Yes, it works with all the BT mice and keyboards that I have, except for the Apple BT keyboard ....... strange.

Where Are Mouse Cursors Stored?
The cursor is quite small and I would like to use a larger one - does anyone know where the cursors are stored on the A100?

Haha, treu that! Never trust compatibility with Apple, cuz, there is none...
You need your A100 rooted in order to check where it is. I am currently to lazy but to look it up.

It sure will! I am using the Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard for Android, and it works great.

Just tested here on my Iconia Tab A100 with ICS and it works perfectly!
Thank for the info
I get heavy stutter with the Logitech Android BT keyboard and the V470 when using at the same time with HDMI display. Really disappointing.

I'm using the 2009 apple keyboard and works fine.

When I first got this phone ,the keyboard I could click on voice or I had the option to use my finger to spell out the word on the screen instead of typing it out .hopefully that makes sense

Anyone know what keyboard you can use with stiles?I had it on lg before and can't remember if it was stock lg one or what.I don't post on here enough to thank all the developers on here for all their hard work.

Uh...stiles?
Sounds like SwiftKey?
The stock LG keyboard allows tracing as well as the new SwiftKey

Also Swype.
I know there is an app for Anroid; still nothing for IOS?
How about bluetooth mouse? an actual mouse that runs on bluetooth it should cost around 10-11$?
If you didn't sideload settings.apk all you do is sideload it and pair with via bluetooth menu.
Hmm. That might work. I use the stick mostly for when I travel. Do you have a recommendation for a cheap non-bulky mouse?

If you are looking to buy a BT mouse, why not just get the KB & Mouse combo. I have this and works good with the stick.

It is a small size, light weight and ideal for travel.

Thanks! just ordered it ...
The Nyko Playpad Pro at Gamestop might be more convenient than just a similarly priced mouse.

I am not sure how big that is but I tried one of those keyboards it was different company tho it was really small to type on. If I was using stick and needed keyboard&mouse I would buy both seperate and have full size (but that's just me) let us know how you like this one

There is an unexpected glitch: when trying to sideload settings.apk I keep getting the error "more than one device and emulator" and also "protocol fault (status read)"
What do I need to do for sideloading settings.apk to work?

I Love this little keyboard. Much smaller than expected and thus ideal for traveling. Also the fact that the on/off switch won't be activated in a bag is very practical. And the keyboard is backlit!!!

The air keyboard FAQ says that on non routed versions you can only run air keyboard light, which doesn't support mouse emulation. Did you get this to work with the fire TV stick?

Does any button on the QQ keyboard work as a menu button? If so I could leave my regular fire TV steak remote at home ...
I Hi, I have a MOTO Z PLAY on nougat 7.0, I want to auto answer automatically anywhere anytime with hands-free for all calls, I had a MOTO X 2e generation before and was functional. Ex: if the phone is in other room was possible to answer. I don't want to use the code *#272886# auto answer, thanks

I am on my second Moto Z Play after Lenovo had to replace my phone . I have nougat 7 installed and I have tried Auto Answer, Hands Free, and New Car Mode. I need an app that will auto answer my Moto Z Play.
Thanks in advance
It works people no root needed.
Just patience

Thanks aviwdoowks.
I have been patience I'm just not sure what else I can do. I have tried three Bluetooth devices with Auto Answer and had two different people call me while I am on the road with each device. Every time someone calls I have to take my hand off the wheel and touch the screen to answer. What am I doing wrong if this is supposed to work? I also get the same results with the other apps. Maybe I should contact Lenovo because the first Moto Z Play had the same problem.
