Since I rooted my Nook color this morning, when I am in the browser and go to type in a box, instead of pulling up the keyboard on half the screen and leaving the browser window on top, it pulls up the large text typing box. Is there a way I can restore this so I can see the browser too? I've poked around in the settings and tried searching for keyboards in the forums, but that came up with a zillion results.
This is for when browsing in landscape mode. (Vertical seems to be working fine.) I've tried changing from the default browser to Skyfire, but no luck.
Many keyboards are just like that, unfortunately. I know that SlideIT actually lets you see the browser when in landscape, though. You could give that or another keyboard a try.

If your willing to pay......
Better Keyboard Pro version 8 has an option to Resize the keyboard, there is also a free version but I'm not sure if it has that option. (was trying to upload a pic so you could see but not enough posts yet)
The Gingerbread keyboard displays correctly in landscape mode. There are several threads with information, including a download link to an apk that works for 2.1
If you prefer your current keyboard for portrait typing, there is an app on the market called Keyboard Manager that will change your keyboard automatically based on device orientation.

Hey folks,
I have an issue I'm oping someone can help me with. When I visit the market, I can only see a few options when looking at the selected apps. Only the top paid, or top free show up. May be something simple, I just cant figure it out.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Once the search results pop up, turn your NC to landscape and more will load as you scroll. No scrolling in portrait mode. Kind of a bug...
turn it landscape or install app brain market.
This is due to some issue with market on our large screen in portrait mode only shows 10.
I also have a question. Is there any way to change the build.prop to allow the full market? I know its possible cause I changed it on my rooted DX but it doesn't work on the NC.

Thanks for the input. I figured it was something simple that I was missing.

I got customized nookie froyo 0.6.6 onto my nook color on the eMMC. After heavy set up (note: don't want to repeat it all again), I decided to switch my keyboard from Android keyboard to Gingerbread keyboard. It was already there anyway.
Right away, I get "Sorry! The application Gingerbread keyboard (process net.thinkdifferent.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Obviously trying again (going to any page, going to a text box) results in the same message. So it's a pain to navigate and it's not possible to type.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to switch keyboards without being able to see the keyboard and changing the input method? I can't get to the input method because the keyboard won't load.
I have ADB. Just let me know! I just prefer not to reflash so all my set up is gone. And I was just about to take a nandroid...

I had the same problem wth FCs when using the gingerbread keyboard. To get the "Android Keyboard" back, long-press any text input box, like the address bar in the browser, then choose input method from the pop-up. You may get FCs while doing this, just close it and try again.
I haven't figured out a solution to make the gingerbread keyboard work yet...

Thank you sooo much. That worked.
To those that have similar issues, you need an EMPTY text box and long press it. It cannot have text. I tried with Dolphin mini browser and the built-in browser and because it had text, I would only get copy, paste, add bookmarks and etc.
I could revert when I composed a new message in GMAIL and long pressed the text box for Compose.
Empty Text field example please
I have tried many text fields trying to long-press and return to the android keyboard. I do not get most to do anything while pressing. The Dolphin browser bar did pop up a menu but its the same as another poster says above in the thread, that it gives normal copy/ paste/ save options, nothing re: keyboard.
Any other suggestions for reverting off of the Gingerbread keyboard?
Thank you.
*Editing original, i located "Nook Color Tools", that is where the keyboard was changed and can be switched back. Poster in a separate thread also provided the answer for me as i was finding it myself. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955198&highlight=gingerbread+keyboard
Hi
I recently bought a keyboard dock ECR-K10D for my tab.The keyboard works fine.Except when i use it for Thinkfree Office.I am able to use it to create new documents & type accordingly. However, when i try to create a new spreadsheet & type in it there's no input registered, i have to tap the screen & then only the characters are registered as an input. I thought it was a software issue but the touch type keyboard works fine onscreen.the "issue" happens only when I dock the tab in the keyboard dock. Anyone out there facing anything similar or shud i try another office app?
I just picked up that keyboard as well a few days ago. Only spent about 20min on it thus far. Seem to work fine as far as nav around the home screens and menu. Only tried a note app for a moment to try out the typing and it was perfect. My keyboard is at work, so tomarrow I will try it out in a speadsheet of thinkfree. I will get back to you then.
I did see one issue. Some times when I undock from the keyboard, and then redock a few minutes later, the keyboard does not want to work. It makes the sound as if has docked, but nothing. I can undock and redock once or twice to get it back working. My settings are set to the keyboard and not Swipe. (just like the manual recomended) No biggie just can be a hassel. Have you run in to this?(or has anyone else that may be reading?)

Grem,
Your 100% correct. I comfirm that the keyboard does not work for inputting data in cells of the spreadsheet program of Thinkfree. The word processor program of Thinkfree works great with the keyboard from what I can tell.
Well, hopefully we will not run in to this very often with other apps.

I had heard Google Voice worked fine on the Touch, but the lower third of the keyboard is always missing, rendering its SMS/text capabilities basically nil.
Anyone have a similar experience and/or have a workaround?
(sigh)
Well, I worked on the app trying different methods of possibly expanding the keyboard to full size to no avail. I searched the Market for any substitutes for GoogleVoice. Nothing there, either.
Has anyone found a substitute?
GV Mobile site.
I use the Google Voice mobile site: www dot google dot com/voice/b/0/m. It works great in Opera Mobile. I'm too new to post links, so you'll have to fix that address...
Drakkim:
Indeed! I ended up switching to using the mobile site (in Opera mini) just as you did. Worked fine for me.
However, of late, I decided to switch keyboards (currently both GO Keyboard and ICS Keyboard) and they end up working just fine in the actual Google Voice app. These keyboards don't get "cut off".
I use swifttabletx, but the corrections don't pop up, so i disabled them, and it works great.

I am hoping someone can help.
Xoom, 3.2 rooted. I use Opera Mobile as the default browser.
Right now, when I click on any URLs in an email, the Xoom grays out the screen but doesn't open any browser to the URL like it used to. Normally, if you have 2 browser, Android asks which one you want to open it with. Now it does nothing but dims the screen as if it was trying to bring up the dialog but it never does.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
This is a well known and well documented bug in 3.2.
The simple solution is to make sure auto-rotation is enabled and then rotate your Xoom from landscape to portrait and back. The app chooser will come up and you will be able to choose which app to use to open the link. This will fix it for sometime but it will happen again and just do the same thing.
