Has anyone had this issue with the keyboards where some of the keys dont line up and press another letter or just dont press at all?
This only happens when I use Textra and Whatsapp for some reason.
I have tried Fleksy, Swifykey, Touchpal, Google keyboard and the list goes on. I am trying to figure out what is causing this issue and done a screen touch test which works fine. Some help from the experts here would be appreciated.
Without the ability to use these 2 apps, my phone is pretty much a brick as I cant type a full sentence without the keyboard playing up

Thanks for your input here. I wonder what's causing the issue on all keyboards then. Should I send it back to HTC?
I don't understand what do you mean.
If this issue appears often or all the time then you should be able to record your screen video.
What do you mean record my screen video?

Use some screen recorder app to record all you actions with the phone screen, better if you can enable touches (glove mode).

What r u talking about?
lol, I said to enable glove mode while recording video, if you can upload a video, then we could take a step further to analyse the problem.

You can use textdroid, however if you haven't already done that then I'm assuming it isn't the problem.

so i have been using g config to try to control what apps my phone rotates the screen for. i have removed everything from the g config list that has i think out could be but the screen continues to rotate as there is a phone call coming on, this causes the thing screen to rotate as I bring the phone our of my pocket and it often is in the middle of rotating when I try to answer and it often has a hard time hitting th eanswerbutton while on transition.
anyone know of a way to keep the phone to stop rotating?
thanks,
jeff
Look for CPROG.

So when I open Gconfig, the only apps that are set to rotate are:
skyfire
iGuidance
both my mail accounts
sms/mms
IE6
Album
Calculator
Opera
I noticed that on my Wife's phone that has the official Tmo rom does not do this.
Thanks, any other ideas?
remove anything with "dialog" youll loose email and text messaging rotation. but they all use the same window name.

Thanks Dude! The only thing that said Dialog was the sms/mms. I deleted that and then reset up the sms/mms and the phone app does not rotate anymore!!
Outstanding!!
Can someone tell me how to stop the keyboard from popping up on the screen when I receive a text message? Its annoying! Always pops up while Im doing something else with the phone. and it pops up while the phone is locked and then makes my phone freeze.
there are several threads about trying to solve this.
Still haven't found an answer yet though.
This is the closest solve so far:

i use fakesip
although its an all-or-nothing solution, it completely replaces the soft keyboard, supposedly you can switch back by selecting a different soft keyboard, but that doesnt work for me and i have to uninstall to get the soft keyboard back (which is fine for me since i never use the soft keyboard)

Diamond Tweak, point 20.1, disable automatic keyboard, set to disable.
I always seems to be rotating and un-rotating my screen to get it to turn the way I want it to.
I had trouble with the Note1 with this and thought/hoped this new "smart rotation" camera checking you face position thing would help and I don't really think it helps at all.
It makes me especially nuts when I have my note 2 in Landscape mode in a holder in the car and my GPS software is shown the wrong way ...
I have also noticed that when using multiview that it gets more confusing.
Is this just more or are others not thrilled?
I would love to have a way to have a single button to make it rotate on demand and one then.
(NOT the don't rotate option that exists )
am I missing something basic?
THanks
Allen
I think its just the size of the phone, you try hold it and do stuff in one hand as you're used to, but because you have to hold it weird to get anything done, it rotates when you dont want it to. Only thing you can really do is disable autorotate. It would be good if you could adjust the threshold when to rotate, but of course on the other side of it, people will then say its too slow etc
Can't say this has been an issue for me. Seems to usually be in the correct orientation for what I want.

I know exactly what you mean. That's why I use display orientator. It places an rotate icon anywhere on your screen. So when you hold the phone in landscape. press the icon. and it stays locked in landscape.
When you're done in landscape, and hold your phone in portrait. press the rotate icon again, and it now returns to portrait.
perfect for me. No more flip floping rotating screen unless I want it to rotate.

+1 never had an issue. As suggested there will be an app for that.

Thanks - Display Orientator seems to be somewhat helpful.
He anyone seen thgouh any value added in this "smart rotate" in terms of using the camera to see where your face is? I have not found it helpful
I only ever had problems when changing between apps. I turned off the face checking orientation but it didn't conserve any more battery. On stock rom.
Nuts? Like hell, like Woods, like Savimbi. Seriously. I wondered no one had this issue unit I saw this topic. And that Smart Stay is a gimmick I think, I've no idea what it does basically!
I'll try that orientator app. Thanks.
Swyped from my GT-N7100
I don't use Smart Rotate but I do find the phone way too sensitive at turning to landscape. Sometimes the phone is only barely tipped towards that way when placing it down and it rotates.
Any way to adjust at what angle it turns?
Is there voice input apart from S Voice? I have tried a couple of other keyboards (including, of course the Google keyboard) and there is no mic icon to be found. I have scoured the menus, including the developers menu, finding nothing that would enable voice input or voice typing. Really perplexing and frustrating omission of a feature. I am running rooted and stock. Any ideas how/if it can be done? Thanx.
Samsung Keyboard has the Samsung Voice
Swype has it's Dragon key for voice input
You can also Select while typing Google Voice Input (not really a button but it is not really a keyboard either).
sorry, I don't understand...

Are you saying there is a way to get voice input? I do not know what the dragon key is. ?? I do not understand your last comment either. Sorry if I sound like a doof or something. I am fairly adept at setting up these phones but this issue just eludes me. Could you explain it to me like I was a 4 year old?

Yes.
You can select whatever keyboard you have loaded by selecting the keyboad symbol when you swipe down from the top.
Four Images...
1) Samsung Standard keyboard has a mic button
2) If you load Swype, they have what they call Dragon Talk which is the flame looking key on the right.
3) If when selecting input device (The keyboard at the top) and select Google Voice Type, you get
4) which is ready to listen to your text. It's not really a keyboard but can be used regardless of what keyboard you have selected.
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply with attachments. I just downloaded Swype/Dragon and surprisingly the voice input works! However I still have no 'mic' button in Samsung or Google keyboards. Strange. Any ideas? I am happy to use the Swype but I would like to figure why that feature is not working in the other two keyboards.

make sure voice typing is selected in language and inputs under your settings.
on your keyboard if you have a 3rd party keybard to the left of the keyboards space bar (the one with the 3 lil dots on it) hold the button down until the button shows more options. One of them is the mic. the button will default to whatever that last selection is.
I get what you're saying...
The problem is there is no selection in settings to activate voice typing. Also on the Samsung keyboard, pressing the button to the left of the space bar only yields the options shown in the screen shots below. Again thanks for your input and assistance.

Oh in that case, you need to install Google search, will automatically install the voice and GNow features.
Thanks
Yep, that did it. Thank you. Pretty lame that this isn't a feature of the OS itself, but hey we're talking Google... Thank so much to all who have contributed to the solution.

If it's like Moto Display in past models, the notifications stop breathing after a bit until you touch the phone again.
