Virtual keyboad obscures input fields - HD7 General

Find many applications which prompt for data input into fields such as name, password etc but then the virtual keyboard slides up and obscures these fields. How are we meant to deal with this ?

Usually you hit the back arrow to hide the keyboard.

Or tap on a "non-Editable" area of the screen (either side of the input boxes for eg.)

You can also scroll the top half of the screen to reveal hidden fields just by flicking it upwards.

um...damn..

out of nowhere...when im in landscape mood...i type in the 10 digit number im about to send a text to..then i hit the D pad down...and no nothing happens...it always would scroll down to the text box and then i would start typing now i just stays in the box where i insert the phone number...
any fix =\
I'm assuming you've checked it isn't just a case of the d-pad no longer following the screen orientation? As in if you press what has become 'left' on the d-pad, the cursor focus doesn't helpfully go down a line as you need?

Transcriber

I'm new to this touchscreen and have been playing with the "Transcriber" which lets you write text with the stylus (or your finger) and the phone recognises it and turns it into letters/numbers.
I'm trying (without success) to make my own gesture for the * symbol.
I use this symbol a lot and want to create a very simple gesture that will display this symbol.
Can someone please assist me?
Some clever person here must be able to answer my hopefully simple query??
There is a gesture built in for the * already, but you need to be in number mode to enter symbols. Click the "a" in the menu bar at the bottom until it changes to "123". To see how to write letters and symbols click the handwritten "L" on the menu bar and scroll through until you get to the letter or symbol you want to use and click the samples shown see the order of strokes you need to make.

how can i change my touchcreen's sensitivity??

my d2 touchcreen seem;s to need more power instead of my brother's iphone 3g screen...can i make my d2 screen feels the same?????thanks
the D2 is a resistive touch screen, iphone is capacitive, capacitive ill always be more sensative, but, resistive is cheaper and more tried tech, and you can use with gloves or styleus etc lol.
aka
no, not really.
but you can use advanced config 3.3 to change the respsonse behaviour, the pressure to use the touchscreen etc
You can also adjust the screen sensitivity etc. using Diamond Tweak (Diamond Tweak 0.5.3_English.cab)....this app works well on the D2.
Change the following reg. keys:
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\","FingerPressure",-1)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Drivers\TouchPanel\", "PressureThreshold",-1)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\","FingerPressure",-1)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Drivers\TouchPanel\", "PressureThreshold",-1)

Can't find this one-- "FingerPressure"
Do you mean changing the "PressureThreshold" value to -1?
Thanks

You will need some registry editor. Such as this one
I just got my D2 yesterday.
One problem I have is that, when I am scrolling up/down the screen which contains multiple entries (such as the Setting's page or All contacts), when I swipe my finger or stylus across the screen, one entry is frequenctly selected as a result of the swipe gesture.
Is there a way to change to double tap to select an entry, or otherwise 'strengthen' the sense its a swipe not a tap?

Found out in the contact manager, if I swipe and hold my stylus on the screen briefly after swiping , the entry is not selected.
Will do the same with the other applications. Hopefully the same trick works.

Tips...

-(Typing)
-Spot editing
Typo troubles? Press and hold a text box until the large cursor appears, then drag it to the problem spot.
-Pop-up punctuation
Press and hold the peroid (.) key to see a pop-up menu with other popular punctuation marks.
-Quick fix
Press a misspelled word to see suggestions from the built-in dictionary. Press a suggestion to swap it in.
-(Browsing)
-When pinning a web page to the start screen, on the page zoom in to whatever you want the tile to show.
-When browsing on any web page, you can hit the menu dots (...) >hit find on page >Type any word you want and it will find that word and highlight it for you.
-When browsing on any web page you can highlight any word >hit search and it will search that word for you on your browser.
-(Music)
-You can pin your playlist on the start screen for quick play of your music.
-(Voice Search)
-Voice search any movie out rite now and it will show you a list of all theaters showing the movie and next show time.
-(Visibility)
-the white background gives you better visibility of the screen when your outdoors in daylight. (Also white background wont waist more battery than the black background)
-Tap and hold on the "&123" button while typing to bring up the secondary keyboard, slide your finger to the desired special character, and release. The character will be input and the primary keyboard will return automatically. Useful for quick punctuation, numbers, etc.

Useful information, thanks

Question Help - s pen not bringing up onscreen kb in chrome

Hi boys n gals. I have a weird one and can not figure it out.
I recently noticed that whenever I use s pen and press on a text field inside chrome it will not bring up on screen kb. It will pop if I point to address bar or any other text field within system but not anything in chrome in webpages or Google search bar on Google page. Even here on title or text box, when I bring the pen near screen it shows the blue draw icon that I am sure it didn't before and that's it, it does nothing. Sometimes the blue draw icon wont show, just the small dot . On screen kb comes on fine if I press these fields with finger but not with s pen. I'm lost, I tried the usual restart tablet clear caches but no bueno. Anyone have any pointers ?
Thank you
