I like to text using the standard phone or blackberry layout and I find them easier and quicker.
However, when I type web addresses or info into Opera, I like to use the HTC Qwerty keyboard as I don't need to worry about the predictive text not knowing the URL's etc.
Can I set the phone to somehow give me Qwerty on Opera and Blackberry for Texting... instead of me having to flick back and forth?
Hi,
When i was on Fr19 i thought it was a bug, that when i make a new sms, and whatn to enter phone number that is not in the book, i have to use that stupid qwerty keyboard :S Now that i moved to new GB Rom, i still have this issue, either stock app or other marjet app as Go SmS pro.
I know i can choose in layout but i want it to be by default as Dialpad when entering a phone number
Anyone have a tip or hack to do this ?
thanks
You can use the default LG keyboard, or touchpal or any 12-key phonepad.
thanks for reply but did you understood my question ?
When i go into New SMS and want to type a number i get a normal qwerty keyboard, it is annoying to type numbers on it. What i want is a normal Phone numeric dialpad, which is more logic to automatically have when typing a phone number.
I am using the default LG keyboard.
I can do it by changing the Layout input of keyboard, but that problem is than it stay like this and for text i have to again change the layout to get qwerty keyboard,
You can understand it is quite annoying :S
Is this a normal behiviour ? or it ie me who is having an issue ?

It's quite normal. The reason is simple: The input field can be used *either* for inputting a phone number *or* for quickly searching your contacts. Searching your contacts requires letters, therefore the default keyboard is alpha-numeric. Unless you use another messaging app which allows you to input phone-numbers *only*, it will remain this way.
I can understand that we need to search so the keyboard is Standard Qwerty that show up when yoy first click
But what is not logic is when i press 123 it should understand that i dont want to search by name but type the number so it should show the Dialpad, that is how it works in iphone
So in Andriod it is normal and standard to have always qwerty keyboard :s I am surprised no one else has complained, may you guys only send SMS to your contact list lolzzz

Well, if Apple has that functionality, you can bet they've patented it as well, barring anyone else from using it.
Myself I cannot come up with any reason for SMSing anyone not in my contact list, but I'm sure you can.
Anyway, for now, that's the way it is on Android. (But I'm sure you can find another messaging app which will do what you want, until the patent-trolls notice.)
Hey mate,
Don't remember if on stock it's this way, but i'm on miui and I can enter Phone app(Dialer), dial a number with the number pad and then select "Send Message" so the sms app directly puts that phone on the message receiver...
Hope that works to u!!!
That can do a trick. I never used the dialer to send sms but thanks for the tip
No it is not dependent of what sms app you use all give same result as it is core feature of android.
Only way i found is to use another keyboard swiftkey which 123 is in Matrix format so more like a dialer but smaller
But i really hope someone can make a mod hack to show dialpad it will be handy and more logic

Or perhaps the ?123 key doesn't send us into a blind panic?
Lol
I buy a lot from site like kijiji. So i send a lot of sms to numbers which are not in contact list
Anyway having Dialpad when pressing 123 is more logic. Either in phone feild we want to type a name or a number

Is there an android option or application with the nokia "Character encoding - reduced support" option?
This option automatically change any stressed word eliminating the symbols like á-é-í-ó-ú that are not supported for some carriers for it´s normal versions (a-e-i-o-u) also, it leaves you send longer sms.
My carrier is one of those, if I send an sms with an stressed word the received message will be only symbols, for example I just sent a text with the word "Conclusión" and the result was @¿€x¿¡@[email protected]¥P¡[email protected]€¿ before I had a motorola milestone (gms droid) and I ignore it because of the physical keyboard...
Hi,
I'm looking for an android keyboard that is compact and would allow me to send texts and also have shortcuts for my favorite apps. Not sure if those are possible but I currently have a bluetooth keyboard, and while it does work when typing, I cannot figure out how to hit "Enter" on the stock text app to send it.
did you try shift enter?
Hello.
I am a new Google Pixel users.
As a skilled user of more types of Android devices (HTC, Huawei, Samsung) I am missing some things in Pixel 7 and here is one of the importans:
In Google Phone, I cannot lookup contacts with accented characters. For example, I cannot directly dial "Štefan" name, because it doesn't fit to "PQRS" button. Only way is to dial it from contacts.
On the other earlier phones it could do it.
I don't want to install a 3rd party app, if it isn't necessary. Is there a way to dial names like T9 with dialer button from phone app? What do I wrong?
Thanks.
