Swipe for Voice and Numeric - unreliable? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

heya,
NB: Replace the text "REPLACE" with http and www, and the text "REPLACE2" with just http. As a sidenote, if a mod sees this, can they please verify my account - getting annoying not being able to post links...lol. Thanks.
I'm on Froyo 2.2 (well, the test image that's out) on a Nexus One.
I read about the new swipe for number bad feature here:
REPLACE.androidcentral.com/froyo-feature-better-stock-android-keyboard
However, it seems intermittently unrealiable on mine, particularly when I use it in Messaging. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Has anybody else noticed that? Any tips to get it to always trigger?
Also, I read that in 2.1 you could trigger voice input by swiping left-to-right.
REPLACE.androidcentral.com/quick-tip-swipe-keyboard-bring-voice-input-21
I can't seem to get this working in 2.2 at all (and I've never used 2.1). Has anybody else got this working? If so, any particular tips I could check? (I've tried both having the Mic button on main keyboard and symbols keyboard, neither made a difference).
Other people seem to report something similar, just not sure if this is verified, or how common the issue is?

I do find the Android keyboard a little weird and inaccurate, probably just still getting used to it (only day 3).
Cheers,
Victor

Strange problem when typing SMSs

Hi! I am new here, and first I would like to thank all you (and especially the image providers) for your fantastic work, which has made my blueangel experience much better than it could ever be with the old, out-of-date original software!
I swear I've read the FAQs and searched the forum, but I really cannot find the answer to my question.
Here it is: I've got a strange issue with all the WM5 ROMs I've tried up to now (I've got the latest my baniaczek now): when writing a text message (SMS), when I reach the fifth line, all the characters/words I've written in that very line start moving horizontally back and forth in the range of maybe sthg like 20-30 px. When I write a character, everything moves right, when I enter the following character all the line goes back to its original position.
I know it is strange and difficult to explain, and moreover not severe, but sometimes it's a bit annoying as the keyboard hangs and llllllllllllots of letters appear before I can stop it...
Does anyone has the same issue? Does anyone know its cause?
Thank you very much!!!
Please excuse me if this has already been asked and answered, I'm very sorry in that case. Thanks for the patience, please don't hate a novice
same problem
i have that same problem too...the random typing one...a t first i just thought that there's something wrong with the buttons on my keyboard but it seems that its a software problem....lemme know if u find a solution
just reporting I'm using helmi+baniaczek cf2 r2 too but i'm not facing sms problem, i've test it..
but i cannot test the keyboard since my flexicable worn out ...
Thank you very much for this feedback! At least I'm not the only one...
Indeed I had forgotten to say that it happens only using the hardware keyboard, while using the software one in the same conditions doesn't cause this behaviour. Who knows?
sometimes i get that error too.
I am just trying different settings in the system to see how it goes
Solution id damn easy.
If someone have similar problems do this:
Go to "settings -> system -> keyboard & backlight -> repeat settings" all you have to do, is to extend the repeat delay, and slower the repeat rate.
I also disabled the word incompletion stuff.

Cant paste telephone numbers on dialpad or dial from within e-mail calendar??

Anyone been able to work a fix for this? WM 6 would underline numbers in received e-mail, calendar etc etc one could dial the numbers directly from within the mail?
The paste function has also been removed from the dialpad
ROM 1.37.421.3
This thread has an interesting solution.

Surur
this is bugging me bigtime!
im going try change the phone skin to the old wm6 version with advanced config, seeing as the function was there before on older phones then it should work here too.
can someone provide a solution??
The same problem for me.
I realized that when you have the status opened (it opens while you are talking) in the menu you have the paste option... but it is useless.
I also want to paste some numbers in the phone to call them... it is very annoying not to have this option (sometimes I need to copy also some numbers from internet pages... but now it is impossible!!!).
Can someone help?!?
Thnx.

Hi Surur,
Good one thx for the link, i think this was a serious oversight from MS, this is the one reason i would chuck the phone.
So far i have enjoyed the phone, i think it works well, but as i said its virtually useless if you cant paste numbers on the dialpad.
This limitation is really annoying me now; and still, a month down the line it's the only unforgivable problem I have with this otherwise fantastic little phone.
I was hoping it was a simple oversight, and would have been fixed by now. Has any of the later ROMs addressed the issue? If not, has anyone came up with a solution, or at least a realistic work around that doesn't involve pen and paper?
for over 3 years i am using a dialer "contact breeze".
the dialer himself is also of value but i am reinstalling it each time only for this tweak. long press anywhere in a meeting or task and it will offer any of the telephone numbers in it. no need of any other spaces, tlf:, etc. just type the number and it will be offered for dialing after a long press. the prog cost a few $. it worth it!
Thanks, sounds like a usable work around, I'll check it out.
Still hoping for a real solution though... Anyone?

[Q] Text input in Flash Player 10.1 not working?

When selecting input text fields in Flash applications no keyboard appears when I try. Since I cannot seem to find anyone else with the same complaint I'm unsure if it could be an issue specific to my configuration somehow. I'm using JPC, and have replaced Swype to get Swedish keyboard support.
Anyone noticed the same issue, or have a second to test it out?
Here is a page containing a basic swf with a input text field in flash:
http://www.ghostwire.com/blog/archives/as3-simple-editor-for-loading-and-saving-xml-as-binary/
Scroll down a little bit, below the text "(480×480 SWF, 2KB)" you will see an swf, provided that you are running a froyo firmware with the Flash Player.
When the swf has loaded, you'll see a large grey box which is an input text field. Touch it and the keyboard should open.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi... I have a "similar" issue to this but am not sure exactly how related they are. I am still on 2.1 so I dont have 10.1 flash player but I get the same issue when I am on facebook using the "Skyfire" browser.
If I am trying to leave a comment on someones status for example, I can click on the text bubble and the keyboard pops up but as soon as I enter a letter the keyboard goes away and when I try to tap the text bubble again I get no keyboard at all.
Again, this souns similar and I know that skyfire is in beta still but if this is the same sort of problem you are having then I'd love for someone to explain why this is happening.
Anyone have any ideas?
When searching for anyone else with similar issues I saw that it happens to skyfire users, but I think that is unrelated. Skyfire is streaming flash content played back at their server to your device, and hence has some issues with interaction that is not related to the Flash Player as such.
If there is a way for them to open the keyboard when a text field in flash content becomes focused they probably have not got around to do that yet. They claim that their main focus is video playback, and I bet that it can be tricky to get all interactivity right.
Flash Player 10.1 should open the keyboard when a text filed is focused according to the specifications from Adobe, and considering that I don't manage to anyone complaining about issues with that I'm wondering if that is an issue unique to the Galaxy S, or even my device due to configuration issues.
If someone has a second to try the link in the OP it would really be appreciated.

I got the same issue, but found a workaround by place the cursor onto the text field, and then long press "menu" button.
Make sure the flash is not running in full screen mode.
Not a perfect solution, but at least it works.

[Q] Issues with Ultra Keyboard

So, like most Aria users, I'm always on the lookout for the best possible keyboard. I thought I'd found it when a couple months ago I downloaded Ultra Keyboard. I loved it because it gave me suggestions for the regular touch to text AND for slide motions/swype. I've always found myself switching back and forth between the two but with other slide to text programs, such as swype, there is no suggestions when you touch to text a word.
Anyways, it was all wonderful until the last update, when my suggestions disappeared when I use the touch to text. They still appear when I use the "swype" method to text though, which I find very strange.
I can't seem to get a hold of the developers at all, the website listed on the app page is just the facebook page and I've left messages and wall posts with no reply. I've also tried emailing them, but have received no response and I haven't seen anything else about this anywhere.
I guess, first of all does anyone else use this keyboard and have this issue?
And second, is there any other keyboard that can do this? I feel like I've tried every keyboard and nothing has the option for both.

[Q] Voice to text no workey

So i've looked around a bit and haven't seen anyone else with this particular problem.
I'm currently using Badseeds Sixth Sense RLS2.1 and have run the previous versions.
My problem is for the life of me I cant get the voice to text to work in text messages. Ive got everything i can find turned on related to Voice Search and all that but when i longpress the period button on the keyboard to bring up the Voice to text it does nothing. Nothing at all.
Ive run other sense 6 roms and this feature always worked.
I tried going through and replacing related APKs with ones from other Sense 6 roms that i knew it worked in but still cant figure it out.
Im not an expert in anyway, so im sure there is something im missing...
Im a driver for a company so im on the road a lot everyday and I like to use the text to speech feature pretty often.
So if anyone could just point me in a direction to go and look to it would be appreciated. Im not asking anyone to go and fix this for me, just a suggestion to where i should be looking.
Thanks in advance!
