Entering appointment problem - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't use TF3D so have it turned off. When using the standard new appointment entry i need to put a space after the last (or only) word in the subject line or otherwise the word jumps to the next item you are entering usually location. Its very odd has anyone else noticed this.

I figured this is only the case with t9 if you dont tap on the word, it recognized (still underlined).

Yes you seem to be correct, as soon as i switch off t9 it works as normal.

Text input in Opera

Has anyone else noticed a problem with trying to select suggested words in Opera?
The problem occurs when typing a long word into a field in a web form and it comes up with a suggestion. When I tap on the suggestion it accepts it and starts entering the letters into the field, however it also registers it as a tap on the area of the screen behind the suggested word. This then results in the cursor position changing and the later part of the word ends up inserted in the wrong place!
I tried it several times to be sure I was only tapping once. I am running Duttys v1.8 (full) ROM.
yes, this has happened to me the whole time I've had the diamond. I have used several different ROMs but it seems to be a problem in each.
Also the keyboard always defaults to ABC each time you tap in a text box, which is a little weird.
Sorry I can't suggest a solution but I'm interested if anyone else can.
Happens to me as well and is very annoying. Means I gotta use the arows to select words.

Text Display Doesn't Work Right

I have tried searching the forums, but can't find anything about it. When I get a text sometimes and try to reply, the display where the words are showing up that I'm typing is smaller than usual. If I type more than one line, I can't see what I'm typing (and don't know if I'm making mistakes).
I think it usually only happens when I'm replying, though I have noticed it happening during normally opening up the texts. Sorry I'm not as descriptive, I have been using a tilt for about 8 months now (2 separate ones) and haven't really found a rhyme or rhythm to it yet. Is there a fix for this or anybody know what's happening?
Thanks for anything.
I haven't run into this myself at all. Are you speaking of the size of the text input box, or the font size of the text you're typing, or both? What programs do you have installed? Have you tried a soft-reset?
It's happened with every WM6 program I've run, as much as I can remember - ever since the I've had the stringed text messaging. WM6, WM6.1, Dutty's Rom, Laurenitis' rom (did I spell that correctly?).
I've done soft resets as well. I wasn't sure if it was a common thing that I just couldn't find searching. Anybody else run into this?
Sorry, it's the text input box that's the problem and I currently have the official wm6.1 installed. I've got a # of other programs installed:
AE Buttons Plus
Google Maps
MusicID
Opera
Pandora
psShutXP
Skyfire
SlingPlayer mobile
S2u2
I also use gullum diamond keys
If you go to Control Panel, System>Screen, there is an option to set system wide font size. Try increase that.
I have the same problem. It's as if the text input box at the bottom of the threaded SMS 'hides' behind the bar at the bottom where the softkeys are, so you can only see about 40% of the box. Very annoying if you're typing more than one line.
I've tried changing the font size, which doesn't help.
Changing the orientation of the screen doesn't help.
Ending the "SMS/MMS" application and starting it again doesn't help.
A soft reset sometimes helps, but not often.

i've experienced the problem you are describing on some of the recent HyperDragon ROMs by SJ...make no mistake about it, HyperDragon is an EXCELLENT series of ROMs.
for me, ending the sms/mms application and then starting it up again ALWAYS works everytime i've experienced the issue
...and i think it is caused by rapidly closing the hardware keyboard shut (which causes the screen orientation to begin switching back to portrait) right after typing a text reply in a thread and hitting send followed by pressing the hardware OK button (to close the thread and return to the inbox)...threads you open afterwards will then show this "shortened" reply input field. i'm not certain about the above scenario but i think i was doing some or all of those steps in some order just before experiencing the issue whenever i have experienced the issue.

Text entry problem

Thought I move the thread to here to see if I will get more help:
Have had the phone for a few weeks and learning lots. All of sudden yesterday when trying to make a calendar entry, the full QWERTY, compact QWERTY, and phone pad can no longer be used to enter text. It's stuck on numeric mode. Tapping the "abc" key on the bottom of the full QWERTY keyboard doesn't change anything. Can still use transcriber and full keyboard for now. BUt when switched to Note program, all entry methods work. Have not installed any new programs lately (besides a few games and new calculator). Have been using S2U2 and Diamond tweaks to help with a few other problems...Help please since this is now my primary calendar and runs my life so need to have this working again!!
I"m using the GSM version with the latest ROM version. The problem also seems to be "periodic" in the sense that everytime I change mode of text entry to something else and back to QWERTY, it lets me enter text, but the moment I change it to numerics, I can't go back unless I change mode of entry again.....Argh.....
I suffer from a similar problem sometimes. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't open at all. I can't type anything. Perhaps it's because of TouchPal, dunno. Gotta reboot the device then ...
Sorry for abusing your thread, but it's a similar problem.7
Have you performed a soft-reset? Did it change anything or have you been suffering from the same problem ... ? Actually a stupid question
Done a soft reset once, and didn't change anything. Like I said it has a mind of its own...when I change the mode of text entry to full keyboard, everything works perfectly so I've been defaulting to that...then when I change from full keyboard to QWERTY, it would bring back the alphabet screen..but the moment I tap the 123 button to change to numeric pad to enter something, I CANNOT go back....I'm unwilling to hard reset for a problem that I have a "work around" on .....hence the post to see if others have similar problem, and HOW THE HECK did it happen???
ya i'm also facing the same problem, but now my COMPACT QWERTY keyboard stopped working completely, it was only taking no's, please suggest solution for this
Thanks in advance
same problem here. a complete reset to factory defaults was the only solution to that problem.
full querty worked normally, but without T9.
compact and phone pad numbers only, equal if i selected ABC or 123. Symbols worked normally

Feature Request : Light Keyboard on Textbox Select

Figured I'd throw this out here...
Problem: When I have my keyboard open and I select any text entry box, I then have to press a random key or spin the trackball to get the keyboard to light up. Since I often use the trackball to do this, I end up moving my cursor out of the textbox and have to reselect it
What I'd like to see: The phone seems like it is smart enough to know when a textbox entry is selected and then check to see if the keyboard is slid out. If these two conditions are met, light up the keyboard. Simple?
Can anyone here write a hack to do this?
I second this great idea!!!
thirded!
bump! 10ch
We need this I agree!
Yup exact same problem for me. Perhaps not a 'permanent' light up... Just increase the timeout to say.. 20 seconds
You should be able to choose that as a setting for timing, so you can have it on for as long as your keyboard is out or timed etc. would be very useful

umm personally i think it'd be better the way the other guy said it.the one where it it'll come back on when a textbox is selected. cause i tihnk if you just keep it lit up longer it'll waste more battery even though your not using the keyboard at the moment. (tho im not sure which wastes more battery, the setting for it to light up when it needed, or keeping it lit up longer)
either way, i'd love to see this feature too!
I've got the same problem myself, very good idea. I've just passed this onto cyanogen via twitter and his google code page.

How are you able to activate the Compose field?

Hi all,
I had issues with the touchscreen, especially related to the N1 not responding to touches or text typing in the messaging Compose field. And, very often, the send button didn't respond at all.
I did a hard reset and the typing appears to be better, plus the send button now works every time. But, now I can only "activate" the compose field by using the trackball to select and click on it. Then, I can type text using the touchscreen (of course).
I thought that touching inside the compose field brought up the keyboard before, but maybe it never worked and that was really my problem (a misunderstanding of how to open this field). I've not found the answer yet, so perhaps someone can let me know if simply touching inside the compose field works for them?
Thanks much,
Ross
** Additional info - I just found, in the PDF Nexus One instructions, that it says "touch the composition field" to type a message. So, apparently, the hard reset killed this function for mine...

When I was having this problem and it comes and it goes. I simply hit the power button to put the phone to sleep. Then hit it again and unlocked it and the touchscreen worked perfectly. The issue seemed to be ongoing and the fix was irritating but I liked the phone to much to really give up on it. However due to an itch for the Sense UI I have given the Nexus One and have gotten an HTC Lengend and haven't had any of the issues I had on the N1.
