Why can i never just get a cool phone and it just WORK?!?!
So i have the Note,and it is buggy as all hell.
The typing is about as accurate as my old HTC Touch HD.
When i click on the search forum tab the text entry screen pops up, i type 1 letter then the text entry screen just vanishes.
*Apparently I posted this in the wrong section earlier and upset someone, and was told I was not posting civilized questions, so to you I am sorry
Cheers!
Okay back to business.
I was trying to set up an order for broadband on the phone and when i try to center the chat screen so i can type it keeps vanishing half way off of the screen and wont center
when chatting with another company their text would show but my entry window would not.
And WHY is this keyboard soooooo un-accurate. i never had issues with my iPhone text entry and the buttons were no where near this large. Am i typing too fast?
Also there are times where I am trying to enter data into a certain field then it highlights the one beneath it, crazy!
any suggestions?
thanks

I have PMed the OP for the reason why

I was trying out Kaiser in a shop and there was a very annoying problem with the keyboard. I would tap some text field, slide the keyboard out, start typing, but the characters wouldn't appear until about 5 seconds or so. The cursor in the text field would just blink in one spot and then all the characters just appeared all at once (at least none were lost). Does this happen to anyone else?
Same deal here. Worst, the word detection sometimes get activated and the first few letters get auto-completed w/o me asking them to be.
Kind'a annoying when your device cant keep up with you.
on another forum somebody suggested turning off word prediction to greatly increase response time

That indeed seems to help a bit.
How to turn off word detection?

Where is your user manual? Guess it is faster here

Its sad to me how lazy people get. Simple searching the forum will resolve 80% of the questions asked in new threads. Some people just don't even try.
irc is just as bad if not worse

I don't know if this is a general WM question, as I've never had a WM phone before.
From the Home screen I choose 'Messages' then click 'All Messages' - which gives me a standard looking screen with an Inbox of all the people I've sent/received texts from.
If I choose a person, then I get the whole conversation with the person.
How do I delete a part of the conversation without deleting it all.
I've found that if I click on the persons name I get their contact info - if I press 'OK' at this then their message is highlighted. I can then choose 'Menu' then 'delete' which clears that ONE message. Surely there must be an easier way?
Also... I'm currently using the HTC Full Querty keyboard as my chosen input method. I have the T9 on and it works great MOST of the time!!
My only problem is that if I type a word sometimes it will give me another word that I dont want. How do I say no to this choice?!
Eg... I was typing a message to a friend in which I said 'did you get your ass up on the dancefloor'. When I typed 'ass' it imediately pops up with 'assets' and 'association'. If I press Space it choses assets for me. Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass' without having to take its suggestion? I don't want to turn the T9 off as I find it really good for putting in apostrophes etc - and apart from this problem it works great.
Cheers...
"Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass'"
Man i tried my best to think of a witty comment to that - but i'm struggling!
Any how, I don't know either but what I do is press space to complete the word most like the one i want, then go back & edit it. After that, the word comes up automatically when typing the approriate letters.
SMAC
ha ha...
Its happened to me heaps of times, but ass wss the only example I could remember!
My iPhone had a great little X that appeared and let me ignore its suggestions. I wish there was something similar on the Diamond.

Cant answer your second part of the question but the bit about deleting one particular conversation??. Im sure today i was able to do it but now ive wiped my messages inbox so cant really check. But im sure if you highlight that part of the conversation u want deleted then go to menu and you should have delete available. Again im pretty sure thats how i did it...deleting them one by one.
Check it and see if it works...like i said im pretty sure thats how i did it...i could be wrong tho.
Use the circular navigation button (press "up") while in the conversation screen, and then you will be able to navigate between individual messages.
Yes I know, I had to hear this from someone else too. Not very intuitive... Annoying when a good delete option is lacking...
Ok, im really frustrated by certain things on the diamond, so much so im thinking of selling the diamond....
I love most of the features but a few things really annoy me...such as:
Why when a call connects, does the screen switch off?? This is really annoying when your listening to voicemail, for obvious reasons...
Secondly, i CANNOT switch my input type from FULL QWERTY, i change it, and then when i go back into INPUT, its FULL QWERTY again...why?
Thirdly, when entering a text, i dont want to view a full convo, and the last word of the text remains in the predict part, meaning when you click close, it asks if you want to save to drafts?
If im being stupid, then someone please explain....if not, can anyone assist? Please?
all of your problems have simple quick fixes and have been asked a million times by other people! i dont mean to be rude but please search the forum!
most of you problems can be solved with this one page thats always at the top of the diamond page!!

SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and to asnwer your question, the light sensor turns the display off when you put the phone to your head, its a kind of safty feature so that you dont press any on screen buttons with your face.
i like the feature, but like many others like you dont, its on the first forum link ive just given you as is the fix to disable the sms chat interface
I did try search but came up blank....The above isnt really a solution, more of a workaround, i want the phone to function as it should, i.e be able to change the input type via settings....
Thanks a lot for your other assistance though Keyz...
you change your input option from the touch flo 3d interface, NOT the settings page on WM.
go into a new text message, and press the little keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen
im not using the TF3D interface though....using WM.....
you have TF3D turnd off?
Yes, but i have switched it back on to see if i change my mind about it...
I still cant get the screen light sensor thing to work....weird...
...but can you really not simply call someone who has just texted without having to revert to pen and paper???
TIA
Sure, just press the Phone button.
That certainly doesn't work on my phone (standard UK 1.37.405.1 WWE).
When I hit the phone button, all I get is the keypad, with the last event in the call history highlighted.
I have to say, I've tried all ways I can think of with this issue, and I'm amazed something so fundamental appears to be missing. I can't remember how many times I got texts on my old phone only to decide the answer was too complex to text and decided a phone call was more appropriate. On my old phone I just cut the sender from the text and pasted it on the dialer, and that was a 'simple' Samsung D900... so what's going on with the Diamond I need to start carrying a paper and pen.
Please someone tell me I'm missing something, or that there's a trick other than having to temporarily enter them in my contacts or need to start exercising my extremely short term memory?
Hi,
If you open all messages and hit the call button, verify the number and call.
Works on my UK Diamond.
Ok.....
Seriously....?
Why did you buy the phone in the 1st place?
Cos it was "Pretty"?
If you go to your inbox, showing all your text messages, select the conversation between you and the person you want to call.
Then use the directional pad to select their part of the conversation (you will know this because their text message and name will be highlighted - might be highlighted blue, it is on mine...) then simply press the call key, (very bottom left of the handset).
You don't have to press any other other buttons.
It will ask you to confirm before it actually dials.
Didn't your phone come with a user manual? - I'll explain how that works.... you pick it up and page through it using your hands, it also comes with extra features such as an index at the back and a table of contents at the front.......
........Or is it like anyone who owns a BMW or Mercedes who was supplied with one that didn't come with indicators!

No worries, I was actually quite drunk the other night when I done that and was in a really sarcastic mood that day...
Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

I didn't get the Orange User Manual I was lucky enough to get a HTC one, in fact everything about mine was HTC I don't even have the the Orange Logo on the back of it, the only Orange thing it has is the SIM lock....weird

Hey Studz, no probs man.
Glad this thread didn't become ugly.
I guess for the guys who are developing ROMS and stuff, questions from newbies can be a pain in the ass. Perhaps there should be a section for "I'm sorry, I know I should be able to work this out, but I've tried for 3 days and can't :eek"
I'd probably fill it!!
Yea so I know that from the "All Messages" screen you can type and search for words that are in really recent text messages; but lets say for example, my friend Alex texted me the Course Number of a class two months ago; its really annoying to keep having to press "Older Messages" over and over to get to that message. So here are my questions:
1. Are there any programs that either
a. Allow you to search the the ENTIRE history of conversations with a contact
b. Show more than [5? I think is the current amount] back&forths per page
c. Yea A & B is all I can think of for now lol
but please...assist.
Hi,
who said that in all messeges screen if we do search then it will search only from the recent messeges. No thats not the case it looks the entire messages. After typing the search word that you are looking for in all mesages screen wait for sometime to let screen populates the search results
My phone surely doesn't. at first i couldnt search correctly becase of the TouchPal keyboard (which I absoutely love love love - shameless plug) but I switched to the other regular keyboards just to search and it certainly does not search through every message ever. It only searches recent and subject titles. Are we both talkin about the touch diamond? (I do have the verizon version if that has anything to do with it)
