does anyone know how to get rid of the URL prediction that appears above the keyboard while using the browser in 2.2.1? this is extremely annoying and it also prevents you from seeing what you are typing in the URL box as it covers up half of the URL box to show you what the browser 'thinks' you are going to type in for an address. also does anyone know how to make browser 'auto select all' in the URL box in order to over write (type a new address) like you would do on your PC with a single click? the stock android rom did this just fine. im not sure why froyo does this in 2.2.1. when i click in the url box it deselects the address and moves cursor to the end of the url. so you have to backspace the entire URL before being able to type a new one in or u have to click hold and bring up a menu to manually select all. this is not smartphone browsing capabilities. i have never been able to figure out why when something works well. we have to change it so it doesnt work AT ALL.
i have attached a screen shot to show the URL prediction which is circled in red lines, this blocks half of the URL box - shown in picture. this shows up in all keyboards i have tried in 2.2.1 i find it redundant. how can i turn this off? is anyone else experiencing these issues??
any info on this?
thanks

when i place a phone call my normal procedure is:
1: press the green phone button
2: slide the keyboard out
3: begin typing a few letters of the name
4: use the arrow key on the keyboard to scroll down to the persons name <--- this is very important
5: hit return and talk
i am finding that i am unable to use the arrow keys to scroll down to select a contact on the Tilt as opposed to the HTC 6800. remember, i'm already have the kb open at this point and would prefer to just continue using it.
this then requires me to pull out the stylus or try and nail tap the contacts name from the list that appears.
it seems to only way to scroll through is to select Contacts first, start typing a few letters then scroll down and click the name then scroll some damn more and tell the phone to call. this strikes me as gratuitious.
has anyone else experience this annoyance and if so, has anyone found a solution?
i tried replacing the dialer with the touch dialer but it seems to simply skin the same lame functionality.
please advise.
I understand you want to use the kb at this point, but how hard is it to just raise your left thumb up 1.5" and use the D-pad?
I can duplicate the problem, but I've got a similar "OK... But..." comment.
Why use the keyboard? When the phone pops up, start tapping the numbers associated with the letters in the name and it'll intelligently start filtering the list. Then use a finger or the D-pad to select the one you want.

ok - i had never really done that. im just so comfortable typing on the qwerty kb that that has always been the method i have used which worked up until this phone.
only irritant i can find with the dialpad method is there is no space key for first letter first name first letter last name.
i can live with it i guess but its not nearly as bling when yer tapping on the dial pad like every other phone out there instead of using your kick ass slide out keyboard.
the habit may have transfered from my days with a treo where you simply type the name and dial.
very convenient.
Ok my favorite thing so far with my tilt was when i selected the new message button(the phone with the envelope on it)and when i needed to type in the recipient in the "To:" field if i typed the first few letters or numbers it would give me auto fill options. Well now it won't do it. Did i turn something off or how can i get this back? I hope this makes sense.
Thanks,

Have you recently changed your ROM? ie flashed?
no but i un installed htc keyboard/dial and it works. is there a way to have this keyboard and still have this function?
Actually same fix as, for instance, in this thread:

Hi,
Does anyone else have a problem with selecting text on longer documents (eg in Word Mobile)?
By longer documents, I mean when they are over a page long, so the scroll-bar is displayed on the right-side. The problem also applies to other apps where the scroll-bar is displayed.
I find that selecting when the scroll-bar is showing becomes very difficult, either with a finger or with the stylus. You need to press down very hard, and frequently it stops selecting while you drag or just doesn't start the selecting in the first place.
If the scroll-bar is not displayed, then everything works fine and selecting can be done with a normal light touch/drag.
I guess this is something to do with the Touchflo finger scrolling getting in the way of selecting text.
I did try asking HTC support, but they claimed they had no problem with selecting text, and so told me to do a hardware reset to see if that fixed it.
Before I try the reset, I just want to see if anyone else has this problem, or has found a way around it?
Cheers,
Ben

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.
Wondering if any of this can be changed/disabled:
1. After voice inputting text, whole input is highlighted so if i press back but only one word was misspelled the entire input self-deletes.......
2. When attempting to correct text, I get this large annoying box with a "Tt" or something in it that looks like a font selection, I need it to go away.
3. when I voice input "gets" and it only shows up with "get", then I select the space where the "s" needs to be added and it suggests the entire word "gets".......so it looks like :
get|
gets|getting
and if i select the change it becomes
getgets
it's about as bad as it gets........any help on fixing these three issues would be greatly appreciated
I know this isn't going to be much help but I had the same annoyances with Handcent, so I switched to Go SMS...no major problems just small things that bother a person OCD but not a normal person lol
These problem might be keyboard base. I used Swype and didn't notice problem 2 and 3.
anyone else?

For 1 touch somewhere in the text to unselect everything and put the cursor where you want it.
2 the T box is a context menu for text editing: cut, copy, paste.
3 (on swype anyway thats all I use)select the word and double tap that will bring up the word choice window and selecting the correct word will replace it instead of just inserting it there with both of them.
Hope that helps...
Your best bet might be to ask in the Hancent forums. I also had a few issues with it so went to Go sms myself and am enjoying it alot.
