Hello, I was wondering this thing: while I am browsing the web with the stock browser in landscape mode, when I press on a textbox, like Google search, the keyboard appears on screen. The thing is, the keyboard takes the whole screen, with a big Textbox above it and the browser is not visible anymore. I'd like to know if there is another keyboard which could take only half of screen and still see the browser window on the other half ?
I dont have this issue.... I use Gingerbread keyboard - available in market free
Hi, try betterkeyboard from the market it's free.

It is full functional but it always goes down how to solve this?
Hi,
Fyi, I just noticed that Dolphin Mini browser is now out of beta, available on market.
The key changes, for me are that you can now select plugin behavior, and setting a gesture to Homepage now correctly goes to the Speed dial page, so I can use fullscreen almost 100%.

I really like it so far, seems to scroll smoother and they downsized those monster tabs! I'll have to try it on my phone.

Yeah. Looks nice.
It took me awhile, but I'm starting to like Dolphin Mini.
I still think that Xscope is faster, but I've been having problems with Flash (other thread here), and I really want a browser where I can leave it in full screen to take advantage of the Gtab screen size, without constantly pressing Menu to navigate.
The Dolphin Mini 1.0 allows me to do that.
Basically, I set all of the links that I usually go to on the Homepage/Speed dial page.
Then I set a gesture (a small "h") to go to the Speed Dial. Then go to fullscreen.
So now, whenever I want to go back to speed dial, I just do the "h" gesture, and I go from there, staying fullscreen all the time.

Hi i just got a Galaxy Tab when i put keyboard horizontally and type why does it completely cover the screen? I would like to see the most recent text but it covers everything and also in browser and stuff it just takes the whole screen up is there a way to change this?

Go to your keyboard, there might be an option to disable fullscreen landscape mode but not all keyboards do.

Thanks for that but no go. i have Swype. samsung and 2.3 gingerbread one and no option for it. do you know of a keyboard that you can turn it off on?
Thumb keyboard has that setting. And its a brilliant kb.

theres an app called keyboard manager that does just that.
So I've been using swype recently and some things really bug me and have no idea how to fix it. Every time I want to type something and the swype keyboard comes up, it always has the selector arrow present. So if i want to type anything that starts in the upper left right where W is, I have to wait like 3 seconds for the arrow to disappear otherwise, accidentally hit the arrow.
PS. can someone also tell me how to DELETE words. "Soooooo" is in the dictionary for some reason -_-
Not sure to what selection arrow you are referring, but if you go into Swype settings (long press the Swype key) there is an option to manage three user dictionary.

when you first hit a text box, the swype keyboard comes up. there is a selector slider arrow in the text field, light blue right where the "W" key is on the captivate portrait mode.
i know of the user dictionary, however, is there a way to delete the built swype words..

I dont think there is a way to delete from the prebuilt dictionary unless you modified the root file somehow.
Heres a little bit on swype though. I love it. I have used it for almost 2 years now as my only keyboard because Im sold on texting and typing with one hand. Heres the bad part. Swype tries to be an application that can go on almost any Android phone. This attempt to be universal really makes for an application that doesnt perform to its peak on any one phone. To elaborate, swype always has background processes running. Why? Why does a keyboard need that? Second, it does have bugs. More than once it just stopped letting me input text and I was forced to uninstall and reinstall the beta application.
So pick your poison here. You can deal with an app that isnt going to ever be what it could be, or pick a keyboard made for your phone or just one made better. (I stuck with swype.)
Pretty sure the stock keyboard runs in the background too. And when it locks up on you, just switch to the stock keyboard and it will have frozen too. Then switch back

Swype pet peeves
It turned out to a bloatware with Swype connect spying on you.
I'm using stock Samsung KB on ICS, it has my 2 languages. Not ideal for everyone. There is also Android KB which has all the langs.
Ok, there's something annoying about the andriod keyboard, that when you enter the landscape mode it show you the keyboard in a fullscreen and that keeps you away from knowing what's going on the background. And it's become a big thing when you use it for chatting alot, unlike the IPhone for example.
I tried to find any apps or any tweaks to modify the keyboard but no luck .
So any ideas
