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.

Hi,
Have a little problem with my dual. Or maybe I simple don't know.
When I want to write sms I see "touch keyboard" input is 2 letters on 1 button. But when I in file explorer for expl. I'm using "touch keyboard" input with 1 letter on button.
How could I fix it? bicause when I'm writing sms I want to see every letter on different button but I can't do that because I have to use only metod with 2 letters on button
Thanx
Sorry for my poor English
Htc Touch Dual

i would really like to have the 1 button keyboard as my only soft keyboard for ALL applications. does anyone know a way to imply this?
thanks a lot.
Or modified keyboard
Or possibly modify the touch keyboard so that the full stop & comma are on the 1st page of symbols & the word select area is more finger friendly?
Try the keyboard TouchPal ...is free to use and is great for oane hand use of the phone. I write SMS with it even when driving...
here it is : http://www.cootek.com/
don't know if this helps and if it sets the keyboard to default, but if you press on the little "upper arrow" on the right side to the "20", you can change the kind of keyboard used by the application
I like to have this keyboard 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 am afraid I already know the answer to this but hopefully there is a way. I was doing some stuff on the web and one of the pages was a registration form. The field for state was a dropdown box. The list item I needed was at the bottom so I needed to scroll down the list but there was no way to do so. Is there a way to do this?
Have u tried the dpad on the keyboard? Just a thought idk if that works just haven't run into that issue yet
I can't get the keyboard to come up. Once I leave the field for City, the keyboard goes away.

Long press on the menu button always brings the keyboard back...
.
On all Android devices, there are long press shortcuts and key-combination shortcuts.
There are the actual Android shortcuts, and some vendors such as Archos install their own.
I have never found any vendor that gives a full description of their devices shortcuts so I always either search Google (in the case of key-combination shortcuts) for any, other users have found, and long press every button on my device (front and keyboard in all applications...) to find out whats there.
Still working on this new device but seems to be limited to basic Android at mo.
I tried the long press. Maybe it is that web page's design. I have found that long pressing only lets you get to the keyboard in apps that require some kind of typing input. When I long press on that field, the keyboard never comes up.

Yeah, there are plenty of places where long press does not work.
does any one know how to activate type and send automaticaly after you slide open the keyboard (as advertised by SE).
ps: how long should it take to turn the screen on once you press the home or power key from idle when the screen is off???
Mine takes about a second or so.

I think you have to press the "Q" letter to activate it.
If i just start typing - anything random, it skips the first letter but gets the rest.
Edit:
That's with the type&send widget on the homescreen
it is true you open the slide keyboard and start to type in google search, but SE advertised a smart keyboard once you open you start typing a message and ur given options to choose(sms,facebook,twiter), theres is an option in settings that should activate but there is no diference on my phone either its ticked or not......
the default for typing is the search function, put the type and send widget on a homescreen to change the default to that.
thanks dude,
does the box where you write sms get bigger once u start typing an answer for an sms recieved??
and occupies allmost all the screen???
yea, it' the fault of the "smart" keyboard i think
Hello,
i googled for quite some time now, but I couldn't find ANY answer. So I guess this is not possible but I thought I can ask here. Maybe someone knows something.
Is it possible, while typing with the stock android keyboard (Jelly Bean) to switch to the Numpad? I've uploaded two pictures to make things clear.
In the first pic you see the normal android keyboard. In the second one you see the numpad, but which only occurs if the text field only allows numerical input. What I want is to switch from the normal keyboard to the numerical one.
Example:
I am writing a note (in my fav. note app) or a sms. In this note/sms I type some longer Numbers (wlan-key, phone number, birthday... you name it). This is when I want to switch to the numpad, because I cannot describe how much I hate to input numbers when they are not in a 3x3 grid (like a numpad).
In the stock Android Keyboard, when I press the number button (bottom left) the numbers appear in a ROW on the top. I honestly don't get how people can type numbers with this.... It would drive me crazy. I could talk hours about how much i hate it. But I want to keep this kind of short
Swype has this feature: either hold the numbers key next to the swype button. Or swype from the swype-key to the t and the numpad appears. Really nice!
I was just wondering if something like this is possible for the Android keyboard.
greetings
PS: I tried a lot of different keyboards and only swype had both: swype input and numpad. Why? I think a numpad for numerical input is the best way to go. I really don't get why you want it any other way.
I dont know about the stock key board but swiftkey keyboard can also put the numbers in a 3x3 grid...although partially . I am attaching a screen shot
Hope this helped

Thank you for your reply. I forgot about SwiftKey. Last time I've tried it, something bothered me, but I cannot remember what it was. Maybe I give it another try.
But still I am curious about the stock keyboard. Because I refuse to believe they did not implement this feature, since I think it is quite essential. And when it comes to choosing a keyboard, it's a deal breaker for me.
