[Discussion]Problems in Ice Cream Sandwich - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have updated my mini pro to ICS one month ago,and I found out some BIGproblems for google.
1. If you're in a Full-Screen application , how can you change your keyboard if the Keyboard-Choser is on the status bar?? Google should make something like
iphone that u can still pull down the status bar in Full-Screen Games!!!
2. In android 2.3 , if u long press the place u wanna type , a window will popout , then you can cut , copy , or paste . But in ICS , after you long press the place u wanna type , the cut and paste features will appear on top!! And in some Full-Screen applications , the cut and paste features wont appear!!! S you cannot cut and paste in full screen apps???!!
If someone has ideas to fix this , please tell me

you should post this to someone building cm9 kang, maybe they can help you..

Depends on the keyboard, but long pressing the keyboard can bring up the input method option. Use this as a workaround until a dev can cook up what you are ordering.

Copy and Paste

Hey everyone,
Is there a way i can copy and paste on the hero ?
eg in a sentence like ...
With HTC Hero, personalization reaches a level never before possible. Rather than burying important content under layers of menus, the HTC Hero lets you put it at glance view, with a selection of widgets that can be placed right on the home screen. The widgets themselves can be personalized with a variety of designs and sizes that best match your personality.
If i just wanted to put .. with a selection of widgets that can be placed right on the home screen. ... into an email how would i do that ?
Cheers James
Just hold your finger on the input field, a pop up will appear and you can tell your freaky and oh-so-lovely Hero that you want to select text, then select the text and hold down again and tell it that you want to copy the selection.
Yeah, I know that you love your Hero :-D
Android <3!
/Edit:
Maybe I didn´t really read your post lol Let´s see what you´ll say.
Hey, so I tried this from the gtalk application, but I can't figure out how to copy text from a chat or response that has already been entered. Is there a way to do this?
TIA,

[Q] Whatsapp messages on lockscreen

Hi all,
is it possible to display new whatsapp messages directly on lockscreen? (like on ios? Display lights up if new message comes in and i can read message directly on lockscreen, thats what I want.
Bought some apps but nothing works fine :-(
Sorry for my poor Englisch...
For directly showing message on lock screen it depends on the ROM I think.
Is there any rom for my desire hd available?
I am using virtous quattro with ics at the moment.
You need to post this there.. I don't have desire. So, can't say.
I think widget locker is what you need. I use handcent for sms, and it gets through the lockscreen just like you describe.

The lockscreen code is either part of the framework.jar or the systemui... and if the device is not rooted, you cannot change it.
If you are a programmer, what you could try is to create a new window (for example with the WindowManagerImpl hidden class) trying different window types: window types define the layer where the window will be placed. For some window types you might need some special permission (for example I think TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be placed above lockscreen, and it needs the SYSTEM_DIALOG permission)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Currently there isn't an (lockscreen-)app that allows that. If you are a programmer you can always try to make it yourself, like mentioned above. But be warned, it's going to be a hell to create it
I´m not a Android programme
There is an option in the settings of whatsapp "turn on the pop up messages" check that box n u are good to go
i know this option, but it´s still behind the lockscreen...
Hey guys!!
This pop-up message, allows you to answer the message even with the lock screen. I think it's a lack of security because anyone can answer it if you forget your phone somewhere.
I've already try to talk with the developers of Whatsapp, but with no success.
On iphone you can only read and unlock to answer.
That's right, the popup feature when set to 'always' or 'only when screen off' shows messages and I think even allows replying from the lockscreen. You can't go view the full convo without unlocking though. This is the way it works at least in the latest beta from http://www.whatsapp.com/android/
