Anyone notice the Hero keyboard doesnt have a £. Or is there some sort of key combination that brings it up?
I can get to it my going to numbers and then selecting the 2nd page - it appears where the "E"/"3" key would. Don't know if there's a faster way
Press the 12# key which is like acts like a shift key, and on the lhs is a 1/2 key, this brings up a second page - bit of a pain really, it would be better if it remapped for UK.
There is a setting 'Select locale' - 'Select language and region' but it only offer 3 languages and no region ???

Doh - beaten to it.
Excellent... cheers guys... One more question tho... is there a way that the phonebook can only display telephone numbers... I got contacts from my googlemail in there as well as telephone numbers and it is totally confusing...
Cheers
edit the sync groups so that it doesn't sync all contacts, but just my contacts.

The new messaging client is driving me batty. Two major issues:
(1) Delete is the default left softkey when a message arrives?!? Lost more than a few messages this way. Is there a reg entry to change this?
(2) Dismiss, which should be the default and easiest option, takes using the Menu right softkey, navigating up, and selecting it. And it doesn't mark the message read! That has to be a bug, but can it be fixed?
When i get a Text the left soft key is reply. the right soft key has always been that menu button and seems to be fine...
You're probably right, but in that case I believe Delete is still the default option when Menu is selected, and Dismiss still doesn't mark the message as read.
It driving me crazy too ! Palm messagin was so much better ...
Resurrecting this thread. Need to know if I can change the left soft-key in the messaging app to something other then "Delete"
Please let me know, thanks!
Got the same issue, google and saw this thread. Any update or solution? Driving me crazy too
Hi. I really dont like the position of the spacebar key on the numeric keyboard of the Rose. It is located on the key 9 (doublepress), but I am used to doublepress the key 0 from my Nokia phone.
Does anybody know, please, how the spacebera can be remaped?
Thanks!
Regards Robert
P.S. Rose is a superb phone, like it very muc.
Exactly; I'd like it to be on the "1" instead of the "#" I guess its only useful for lefthanded people.. I'll either almost drop my phone or break my thumb, lol.).
Any idea's? Already checked the eT9 etc, but no result there.
The numeric keyboard is useful since I don't always wanna type with the keyboard slid open when in the pub
I'd also like to remap a key. When the phone is slid-out the SMS/MMS key and the one next to it with a picture of an envelope on both take you to the SMS inbox. This seems extremely pointless to me and i'd like to remap one to start a blank SMS.
Thanks

I have searched for it, and I see no answers....
Problem: I have a contact in "people" named "john smith". "john smith" has a number (or two, or three) entered in for his contact already, let say his "mobile" number. "john smith" calls me and I say "hey where are you calling from?" he tells me he is calling from home. So now I would like to add that number to his contact. I cannot find a way to do this.
I have tried going into "people" then finding the contact, and going into "edit", I've tried pushing and holding everywhere to hopefully find a menu, i've looked in the "menu" and the "add" button looks promising but no go.
The manual says:
1. Display the entry in People
2. Scroll down the screen and tap: ADD>PHONE
3. Tap the type of phone number you want to add (for example, HOME or WORK)
4. Enter the phone number and tap: SAVE
...This sounds great, but when you click on MENU and then click on ADD it asks you to "select a default action".
I know I could add this in my contact entry for "john smith" through gmail, but you would think that I could also do this through my phone, it woould make more sense.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

If you go in via the people widget, and you select a particular contact - one way is to select the three parallel bar button at the bottom of the widget - you can then select the person from the list after this (it defaults to the list). Selecting the contact should show the details for that person. From there, if you hit physical "menu" button, it will present options including "edit". Click on the "edit" option on screen, scroll to the bottom and click on "Add details".
thanks bluehawk, I had forgotten that I posted this.
and forgotten to thank you.
anybody know how to type one? my email address has some in it and the only way i can do it at the moment it to close the phone so the soft keyboard comes up and find it in the menu then reopen it again, anybody know if its possible and if so where it can be found?
edit: oops i mean on mini pro
You're serious right?
Press the Sym/àü button on the bottom right... A screen will pop up with all possible other characters.
it does nothing on my phone, i press it and the cursor changes to the same one as when i press the blue button to get numbers, i have got slideit keyboard installed, could it be sometthing to do with that?
I had this issue. Either a: You turned off the option for it in the settings or b: there is a losse connection between the keyboard and motherboard (My problem was the latter). If this is the case, refer to your service centre for repair. (Or strip the phone apart, re-seat the ribbon and reassemble, which is what *I* did, but then again, I do know how to follow warrenty service guidelines so as not to void my warrenty...)
That sym key only works when you have the default input activated. Since you have SlideIt installed, you'll have to long-press on the text area, select 'Input method', choose 'Default', insert the underscore using the sym button, and then reactivate SlideIt. A little bit long winded but that's the only way when you're not using the default input all the time.
That is correct. No third party input application takes into account the sym/au button. I have given the debug log files aswell as the keyid (found in the layout files of the keyboard) of that button to the author of smartkeyboard pro. He has it on his to-do list. Hopefully he can whip up something to fix the problem.

i have made my own fix, i added my email address to a slideit keyboard shortcut, now i just type "LJC" and my email addy comes up
cheers for the help though, i thought i was going mad
I may be being really dim, but I cannot find a way to have my contacts sorted by FIRST NAME - it sorts by surname, which I don't like.
Is it possible to change this? I'm on a Sammy based ROM (Omega).
Contacts/settings/.......it's right there in front of you
Still not seeing it.
I'm in Contacts, then when I press the Menu button I get the following options:
Delete
Import/Export
Merge with Samsung
Merge with Google
Accounts
Speed dial setting
Send email
Send message
ha ha ha.....scroll the menu to see hidden options! Embarrassed?
Thanks! Although I've been using Android since the G1, it never fails to surprise me how unintuitive some things can be - although obviously I'm blaming this particular one on Samsung, not Google. Some people wouldn't even know to press the menu button to find more options, let alone scroll a list which looks static and complete :-/
