Usability With One Hand Without Keyboard?

Just wondering how well the Touch Pro 2 functions when holding with one hand?
- How easy is it making Phone Calls, Call Holding, Mute, Switching from speaker, handset, to bluetooth, Contacts, Display Keybad, etc?
- Can one text with one hand without sliding out the keyboard with on screen keyboard? Does it have a on screen keyboard
like the iphone and autocorrect when trying to text from portrait? If it does how responsive is it releative maybe someone who has used the iphone?
- Can one use the web browser without sliding out the keyboard? Can you easily navigate without having to sliding out the keyboard?
I guess overall what I am asking is that I currently have an iphone and what I really liked about it was being able to use it so well with one hand. So I am just wondering how well it functions without having to slide out the keyboard?

1. easy, Smart dial, instant touch controls for speakerphone, hold, mute bluetooth switchover, keypad display. It doesn't get any more convenient or faster.
2. HTC's touch keyboard is a breeze. Think iPhone's keyboard with a little dash of T9. Also auto-predicts add in your most commonly used words. Almost forgot, smart dial also uses most commonly used numbers.
3. Ditto on Opera web browser or Skyfire. browsing is a snap in landscape or portrait mode.

Simply put, yes, yes and yes. Try the Touch Pro 2. You will have at least 14 days with some US carriers before you can return and get your money back.
Think iPhone, but not locked down AND it has a physical keyboard too!

i had a iphone 2g and 3g jailbroken etc did alot of custom ****, gave them both to family members for tp2. It to me is a better phone in every aspect.

I find the onscreen stuff fine but actually trying to press the hardware keys while holding the phone in one hand is quite hard. You have to really strech your thumb down to the bottom of the screen, the buttons are right on the edge, that is poor design really but I guess its to maximise the screen size.
I actually dropped the phone trying to do this.

SMS Text Box Bug

I've searched, but couldn't find anything about this.
When I open the keyboard when replying to a text message sometimes the text reply box partially disappears off the bottom of the screen and you can only see the top line. Annoyingly it stays like this until I soft reset.
Does anyone have any solution for this?

I've had this same error since WM 5, through 6.1, and still on 6.5. I was very disappointing to see this bug was not fixed, its such a stupid problem.
It's not a fix but instead of soft reseting just push the keyboard icon on the screen to bring up the keyboard, then push it again and the size will adjust

I don't know if this is the same issue i get from time to time but what happens on mine is that i am able to see at lease part of the field when i input my text but when it goes past that one line it doesn't automatically scroll down so i don't know what i am typing anymore. what i do when that happens is that i go to my task manager and I stop the text messaging; when i bring it back up it is back to normal.

I get all kinds of weird things that happen in the landscape txt screen. YOur problems, and sometimes the right half of the screen will go spastic and show an inverted, backwards, distorted, partial view of the contact photo. Or the right half of the screen will look, well, scrambled, for lack of better description...
Sometimes just tapping in the entry box will fix it.
Other times I will switch to landscape, start to type on the HW keyboard only to find that it only registered the first few characters of what I wrote. I then have to tap the entry area before starting to type again

Is there a way to disable the on-screen keyboard from auto-opening?..Seems like that would resolve the issue.

I've had the exact same issue since getting my Tytn II when it very first came out, on the official software Orange and on my new TP2 with NRG's Photon Rom running 6.5. I can confirm that flicking the on screen keyboard on and then off rectifies the problem everytime. I don't know what causes the issue and it doesn't happen with every message a slight annoyance but opening and closing the on screen keyboard is better then soft resetting

[Q] Black bar on bottom of screen when connected to BT keyboard?

I've been using an old Palm bluetooth keyboard with my android devices since switching from a Palm device several years ago. I just recently purchased a BT keyboard specifically designed for the Note 10.1 2014 and from first connection noticed this bar that pops up at the bottom of the screen whenever the keyboard is in use. The little button with the "^" in the corner doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure what it's for. Is this something that normally happens with BT keyboards and I haven't encountered it because I've been using an older Palm BT keyboard?

Looks like a placeholder for a nav bar, which the note don't need, or ads. Ad blockers which work with non-rooted devices produce such empty placeholders.

I'm not running any ad blocker (even though my device is rooted), but this only shows up when I first connect the BT keyboard??? Weird stuff.

Well, the black bar still persists except that I figure out a workaround to get rid of it. It's just a matter of connection order. I have to turn on the keyboard first, then turn on BT on the tablet, go to a text field and when the onscreen keyboard pops up just press the spacebar and on the external keyboard and I'm good to go -- no black bar and a completely functional external keyboard.

this didnt work, did you end up figuring oout whwat causes this? im usung a galaxy note pro 12.2

I did not figure out any other way to avoid it happening other than the work-around I mentioned. I believe it's the auto-spelling-correct or maybe the auto-complete, but don't know for sure.

I have the same problem on my note 12.2. Simple install "External Keyboard Helper" from Play Store and enable the on screen keyboard and choose "External Keyboard Helper" if you will be asked. Now your BT keyboard is a soft-Keyboard and no black bar was seen again.

[Q] Position of the handwriting-entry area

Hi folks,
When using the Note 8, and having to enter text, one has the option of keyboards, or, using the S-Pen, handwriting. The keyboards one can move to the top of the screen and such, but, the S-Pen entry (the yellow area that appears) is always at the bottom of the screen, and is non-transparent, thus limiting its size.
Anyone know of a way to move that entry-area to the top of the screen (I've found that when writing there, one often accidentally touches either the back, the home or the menu buttons below the screen, and, as you could imagine, this is an extreme frustration!
Optionally, does anyone know of a way (or alternative input software) that allows you to simply write anywhere on the screen (whole screen?) and it gets recognized and entered as text? (ie. a "whole-screen sized" entry-box, which is transparent, thus not covering the areas where the text is actually entered, almost like the recognition mode of S-Note, but, obviously, able to work in the browser, email, and all other apps...in a sense, replacing the current "keyboard (and its handwriting-recognition option)" with another?

A bit less touch sensitivity after installing a new display module. Hardware issue? Software?

After installing a new display module on my OP5T, I noticed something weird. The display seems to be perfect, either original or a very good one. Bright, perfect color, no issues with it whatsoever. I've tested it in multiple apps (like Draw on screen) and it works perfectly, recognizing every input, never interrupting the line while I drag. All the buttons I press on the screen in apps work perfectly. When typing letter never gets missed.
However, it does have a SLIGHLY less sensitive touch. Like, if you very lightly tap it with a finger, it won't register, while before, it would. The difference really is miniscule. I usually wouldn't tap that lightly on it either way. However, it works up to be an annoyance, because now certain "swipe left-right" actions lack a certain "inertia" to them, which I think is because of this.
Like, before, to move around the launcher screens, I would just swipe sideways lightly and carelessly and it would switch to the next screen, now it will start moving and roll back. To make sure I switch a screen I have to apply effort with my finger. Same thing with opening notifications or app drawer.
Is this a hardware issue? Faulty touch? Or can I just increase sensitivity a bit with some software tweaking?

dude i am also in the same boat. Did u by any chance buy the replacement screen from lcdbaba?
