HTC Desire :: Typing On Desire / Way To Disable Large Letters?
Jun 6, 2010
I'm new to both Android and HTC (my previous phone was a Nokia 5800 - Symbian). Anyway - I was just wondering if there was any way to disable the large letters that appear on top of the key as you type the corresponding letter? It's really annoying when you're typing passwords and the letters just show up for anybody to see over your shoulder.

Im new to HTC. I am actually very satesfide with my eris. Except for just recently. My eris for some reason changes pages and slides on its own when im not touching it. and when i hold the phone its gets worse. How can i fix this? Another thing. When im typing sometimes the thing that says were the letters go moves and my words look all messed up. Example: im typing the word mississippi.. and halfway Threw the word it moves making it look like this --> sippimissis.. i dont eventouch that part of the screen.. one last thing.. when im ussing the internet on. my eris sometimes the phone clicks things randomly. It presses random buttons by its self :/ seems to me theres a senor/ touch problem. How can i fix all this?

Probably as many others i decided to move on from i phone platform to android and bought a new Desire 2 days ago and trying to catch up with it. I am generally very impressed with the device except 1 critical issue I'm having: When typing very fast in the keyboard, the keyboard gets lost completely, i am very fast typing person and do a lot of emails I'm text etc. I can see when typing that random letters kick in the text. I did a test by fast typing letters A-L to see exactly and a random latter like G, F being inserted without my interaction while I'm pressing only A and L. This is mostly happening in vertical mode. Landscape is much better Can someone tell me what is going on please? I did calibration many times and no result. I downloaded keyboards from the Market - nothing. I goggled the web for something - nothing there. Has some came across this issue? it is so frustrating and if i don't find solution how to fix it i will have to return it to a shop.

I am using ShapeWriter on my Desire and for the life of me cannot work out how to get capital letters. Do I need to perform some kind white magic ceremony to perform this please? or is there a more simple way?

I have noticed this a lot especially when typing on the internet. The hepatic response as well as the on screen display take up to a second to work after touching the screen. Is there a fix for this.

Does anyone know how you can get the birthdays in the contacts onto the calendar without actually typing them all in again? Is this even possible? Seems like a logical thing to be able to do.

Strange thing has happened since the upgrade. I added the people widget to a screen in the large (9x9) style. The group I choose all have photos for each contact. If I view them in the people group listing, all the photos show next to the name. If I view the individual contacts the photos are there.
But only half the photos show in the widget view - anyone know what's going on? I can't work out what the difference could be between the contacts, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

SD Card mounting via a front USB port stopped me typing under Ubuntu Lucid!
Plugging in via the front usb's stopped me typing!
Also other weird behaviour.
I was actually plugging the mouse in via PS2 to stop the issues I was having.
Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid 64bit, HTC Desire.

Just got my desire a couple of days ago. When I was on a call yesterday I must have moved my face away from the phone slightly and it switched itself to speakerphone! Either that or perhaps the phone didn't detect it was next to my face so the touchscreen still worked? Is there a way to disable the speakerphone (I never use this function) so that this doesn't happen again? I can't see anything obvious in settings.

I have had my desire for a couple of weeks now and loving it, just one point thats frustrating the hell out of me is why when sending a text message using the "phone" style keypad you can't disable the XT9 setting, I've turned it off in settings etc., and it will still default back to XT9 when you navigate away to add a smiley etc. Maybe I am missing something obvious! but I detest predictive texting - prefer to type my own letters. Any app that will sort this?

Is there an option to disable the LED flashing when you have a low battery? I know I have a low battery, I don't need to be continually reminded. I keep thinking I have a new message or something. (I know they flash green but still...)

I have used my HTC desire for a month now and I am very pleased with this ultimate android phone.I have only one issue with the phone/system though. The optical trackball is hyper sensitive. Whenever I use the phone ouside and the sun is shining, then the track ball activates due to the light and the phone/system uses the input to always scroll to the right. This is pretty annoying because this means that I cannot use the phone outside. Resently I also discovered that a small lamp next to my couch can activate the trackball as well.Does anyone know if its possible to disable the optical trackball or am I the only one who has this problem? If so then maybe it's a hardware error and I will try to return the phone.As a temporarily solution I have placed a sticker on top of the track ball.

New to android and this forum and wondered if you could help!
I've recently got a HTC Desire on Orange (which I love) and it has the Stocks app pre-loaded.
I know I cant remove this app but I can't seem to stop it updating itself every hour even though I will never use it.
I've been to: Accounts & Sync > Stocks > Account Settings ... and the 'Update Schedule' says 'Every Hour' underneath. However this option is greyed out so I cant reduce this or even stop it syncing at all.
I've also been to the 'Manage Application' settings and all I can do there is select 'Force Close'.
I think its annoying enough having an app put on my phone that I cant delete but to have it updating every hour and wasting my precious battery is even more frustrating.
I just wondered if anyone knew a way round this(or if I am missing something)?
Also, is this problem just an Orange thing as I know they meddle with the Desire more then most or do all Desire users have this problem?

I have installed Hand cent for handling my SMS Instructions advise turning off default, but cant see how on the Desire? I am quite disappointed with the phone so far as it has too many niggles, the biggest being not able to auto answer calls, which makes it useless with my �200 Parott hands free. Any ideas how to disable or turn off default message handler?

I've experienced the problem that when the desire is in my pocket and I receive a notification, the screen gets accidentally unlocked and the phone starts doing things that I don't want it to do. I know I can add an unlock pattern so that it won't unlock as easily but this is at the expense of me having to enter it even in situations I would not have needed it. So I thought that maybe we could use the proximity sensor to tell the phone to never unlock the screen if an object is close to the phone. Quickly looking at the android docs, it seems that the support for this is in the SDK, but I was wondering if anyone had created an application that does this. If time permits, I might even have a look at doing it myself, but as I'm very new to Android development, it will take me quite a long time to get to a usable state, hence my question about an existing app that does this.

Unfortunately it is an Orange branded phone and has all of their additional guff installed on the phone. I would like to run the desire without the sense UI and instead just run the plain android UI for a while, my problem is that when I disable Sense I am just left with the Orange home screen selector! Does anyone know how I turn that off and run the basic android? or am I stuck with these skins?

there's any way to disable text message previews on my lock screen? Surely this represents a massive security flaw- having the text for anyone to read without needing to unlock- so I would have thought there was some way to remove this?
