When using the steam for mobile app on my nook, everything works fine.
Except the messenger only shows the top half of the keyboard (ie the qwerty and asdf rows)
Not only is this weird, it does this in both portrait and landscape. Another instant messenger with steam chat support did this too.
The keyboard works fine and properly in every other app.
Has anyone else encountered this problem/have a fix?
Hi there,
I had this issue with default keyboard and with Google Talk. I am using now Hacker's Keyboard and this issue in Google Talk is gone. Try different keyboard (esp. Hacker's Keyboard) and you will see.
How did you install Hacker's Keyboard on your NST?

When on google play Hacker's Keyboard is listed as incompatible and I cant view it to download when viewing it from search market app on my NST. It also wont seem to sideload the apk from dropbox. Howd you do that?!

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.
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 use swiftkey keyboard, and when i type in an address in the standard browser, if I then go to use the swiftkey predictions somewhere, it no longer predicts.
also, why does voice search force close unless you have the standard browser installed?
i use opera mobile because I find it much better all round, but i can't get rid of the standard browser for the simple reason that if i do voice search will stop working.
anyone have a way to make voice search and vlingo work without the standard browser (CM7)?
thanks
Voice search is integrated with the stock WebKit it will never work with another browser. As for your online prediction most keyboards don't predict for use online as web addresses are usually not common dictionary words and auto complete adds spaces which is not optimal for address entry.
hi
thanks for reply - but what i meant was that by typing anything in the standard browser using swiftkey, predictions no longer work in any app eg. handcent or gmail until I kill the keyboard app.
i think ive found a fix for the voice search too, it looks possible that voice search may have been looking for standard browser as default after id uninstalled it, so i just had to make sure to set opera as the default for that function. its working.... for now hehe
SwiftKey X don't use word prediction when you type e.g. url, email addres or password..

MIUI ROMs somehow manage to bypass this by having a freaking awesome stock browser set as the default, and voice search works with it flawlessly. Do you think there's any way to set another browser as the default in the Webkit as is done in MIUI?

How did you go about "setting opera as the default for that function?"
EDIT: Ok, I'm a bit shocked that this worked. I've been using Miren, Boat Browser, and ninesky, but I haven't tried Dolphin HD in a few months. After installing it, even with the stock browser completely uninstalled, Google Voice Search now automatically queries my search terms in Dolphin. Thank you SO MUCH for the tip!

Has anyone else had an issue with the stock keyboard not working properly with certain apps? I'm using it to input passwords on certain apps & it's as if the app is not recognizing the input or misinterpreting it.
Changing to another keyboard seems to resolve it with some but not all apps.
Sorry for the double post, but I can only assume that from the lack of response that no one else has encountered this issue?
Have you tried on of the keyboards form the play store to see if it is it is the keyboard?

Yes it resolves the issue in some apps but not others.
