[Q] enable keyboard always upside on browser? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I enable the keyboard in the browser even its not used?
At the moment the keyboard blends out at the moment of not using it. If I click into a field it comes back, is there a way to keep it all the time up?
My trouble is, I would like to chat over the full facebook site. Everything works fine on my galaxy when I go on facebook.com and change the look to desktop (complete)... Im able to click a chat partner and as far as I click into the field for chat the keyboard come up and closes after a second. I had the same issue on my nexus, I just hold the left button and the keybaord always stood upside even if its not used...
Any way to get this on my samsung?

Can anybody help me please?!

New Nexus One - copying text and fingerprint issues

Just got my Nexus One and I'm very impressed. Just two things that I wish to clear up:
1. Fingerprint impressions are much too easily left on the screen. Will a screen protector help? I suppose nothing else can really be done about that?
2. More importantly, why is copying text so hard on the default browser? I've played with the HTC Desire and the way it's done on that phone is beautiful i.e. dragging two endpoints and then having an option to refer the selected text to Wikipedia or a dictionary etc. Is that an HTC-only thing or is it something can be imported to the Nexus One?
3. The default Gmail application still doesn't allow copying/selection of text, does it?
Cheers.
1. Yes
2. Try flashing desire rom maybe?
3. You can't
Can't comment on 2, but...
1. This is a problem with all touchscreen phones. Some screen protectors are good and some are terrible. Regardless, you will have to wipe down the screen from time to time. The frequency depends on how clean your fingers are.
3. Froyo just introduced copy and paste in the gmail app. Just press menu button > more > select text. It will copy what you selected into the clipboard. After that, paste wherever you please.
Thanks guys.
Pretty surprised with point (2) actually. HTC seems to have gotten their browser UI spot on. Is the default browser on the Nexus One the best?

Good news. Hopefully the Wikipedia/Dictionary lookups are also included with Froyo. And better selection of text.

check out dolphin browser. the default browser is very good, and if you use the TRACKBALL to select text in default, it works very nicely. i agree the touchscreen method is poorly done on the default browser.
screen protector = no finger prints.

I get plenty of prints on my protector, but its the best protector I've found so far. Which do you use?
Also, I'm banking on gingerbread fixing the copy paste issue, Android introduced it so long ago its really pathetic it hasn't been improved. I can't even use it how it is. But I have a feeling a it is part of the UI that will be modified for 3. 0

Lets hope so. I find HTC's implementation to be perfect! I tried the Dolphin browser, it's good but it doesn't make the selection of text any easier. I suppose that's a ROM issue.
Another tiny detail, the reply button in the Gmail app being right at the end of message - they should fix that too - show it at both ends of the message.

Touchscreens are always painful here. The N1 is no worse than an iPhone / iPod Touch or anything else out there.

The Trackball is your friend - once you get used to using it to move the cursor and select text, you will laugh at how slow and difficult the "drag a knob" method is.

Yes it does - Froyo (finally) added this feature. In any Gmail, just hit the menu button, then select "More", and you will see "Select Text".
Good lesson for you if you are new to "vanilla" Android: ALWAYS try the menu button or long-presses if you are searching for a way to do something.
If you can see fingerprints, your screen is on the wrong brightness (or you just have really greasy fingers).

Actually I really notice them only when the screen is dark. Once I start working on it, it's not noticeable. Still, I'll be a getting a screen protector.
How difficult is to get the Desire ROM on the Nexus One? And is it advisable/inadvisable?

Swiftkey Keyboard settings with Null Rom?

So this is the only keyboard that I've tried that gives me the mic for voice recognition. Problem is for example when I open it via the web browser, it takes up the whole screen and then some so you can't view all the characters/letters. Trying to find the right DPI/Font settings or whatever I need to get it to fit right. Anyone have a clue?

Calling all Google Keyboard Experts

Ever since I updated Google Keyboard I can't use the S Pen for gesture typing anymore. Every time I hover the pen over the keyboard it automatically types whatever letter the pen is being hovered over and makes a mess of random letters. Needless to say this is very annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to make it stop? I have air view turned off.
Thanks,
Jeff
No Google keyboard aficionados out there?
Same issue here
I have the same issue. Only happens on the Google keyboard. S Pen starts typing about half inch from screen. Whenever the s pen gets near the keyboard it starts typing gibberish like crazy. Any advice as to why would be appreciated.

I downloaded an older apk from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312179
I downloaded v3.0.19423.1102675a. It was the latest version that still had the option to adjust the long press delay and didn't freak out when I tried using the S Pen to type.

Screen Write Problem: Cannot get back to annotated screen if switching to another app

I am having a problem with my Note 5 on Verizon and want to see if anyone else is having the same issue. if you pick up the stylus and choose Screen Write, and then switch to another application, there is no way to get back to your annotated screen earlier. Can anyone confirm that this is the case. Samsung support says it works fine.
I can't do it either, not without multi window.

So does anyone know how to fix it? That is kind of a problem particularly when the Note 5 is for taking notes..... Otherwise what is the point??
Scratch that, can't do it with multi window either.
I did it. I opened chrome, pulled out the same s-pen, and started screen write. Then using lmt launcher I opened messages. Using the back button to get out of messages took me back to chrome with the screen write still active.
I think the problem is once the screen is cleared which happens when choosing recents or going to the app drawer, screen write gets cancelled.

Does it work with the standard launcher for you?

No because that requires clearing the screen, which clears screen write.
Just save it in the Gallery. You can open the Gallery and annnotate til your hearts content. The Gallery is Multi View so you can reference other apps at the same time if you want to. I use Screen Write to capture something interesting for business or funny/cute to share with friends. The former I save in folders in Scrapbook and the latter I MMS or e-mail. So for me it's not broken.

If you save it to the galery, and you write and have to switch again, then you still lose the contents. It seems to me more like a bug rather than a feature particularly when that is supposed to be the purpose of using it for annotation.
My plan was to use this for feature for meetings. You are going over the agenda etc. and then you want to take notes on top of an existing document and then save it or share it to Evernote etc.
I use S Note for everything you described. That's what it's designed for. Screen Write is for quickly capturing and annotating something. It's not even a persistent app which is why it goes away when it loses focus. And what difference does it make if you annotate<>save or save <>annotate?

Question Annoying WhatsApp Problem

Hello Community,
I got a really annoying problem with using WhatsApp and hope you can help me out.
Like every time when I open an existing chat with someone to check newcoming messages my keyboard automatically pops up.
That would be no problem if the newcoming messages also scroll "up" but that doesn't happen and everything is "hide" behind the keyboard layout so I have only two options.. scroll down or close the keyboard layout by myself. Hoped it was just a software issue but there are no updates available atm
Does anyone face the same issue? Do you have any solution yet?
Btw I'm using the app SwiftKey keyboard app from microsoft but also tried other ones and all face the same issue....
Thank you in advance for your support and have a nice day.
Best regards.
Hi! Not having this problem. Also using SwiftKey, and phone is on version A20.
The keyboard pops up only if I click on the text bar. When I open an existing chat, the cursor is on the text bar already. I remember disabling gboard, spell checking, speech input... I don't know if they can cause your issues.
Also have SwiftKey and i can't replicate this problem. Did you already try deleting both apps/data (make chatbackups) and reinstalling them?
