HTC Desire :: Terrible Keyboard - Cant Type Anything Without Mistakes
Oct 6, 2010
its terrible. just cant type anything without mistakes. thats bullshit. tried to install some other keyboards, but even though theyre enabled in language & keyboard, i cant get them to work after froyo update (orange, unrooted). as much as i love my desire, yesterday i was so angry i almost smashed it on the wall because i was getting pissed of with the mf keyboard! i dont need fkin updates if the most important thing doesnt work - the keyboard! i also have an 3 gen ipod touch. the screen is smaller, resolution smaller, but typing is sweet.

I am just about to try this new one click programme for rooting, but i have a few questions before i take the plunge. Im relatively new to android and rooting etc, but i am able to follow instructions quite competently. What i need to know is, once i have rooted can i go back if needed? and what do i do about backing up my stuff just in case i need to revert back? i have heard of this nandroid back up, is this what i need to do first?

Love my new Desire but T-Mobile is the biggest load of steaming $hit ever! I remember when it was "one to one", it just as bad then!
I never get proper reception in my flat or pretty much anywhere, I live in Bucks and should get good reception but I never do. Its only ever at 3 bars HSDPA max, most of the time its 2G 3 bars, or if im in my flat, sweet FA.
My wifes damn iPhone sits there smugly with full 3G reception. I tried swpping my sim into another phone and its still crap.
Can I get off this contract as I'm in 14 days still obviously I will get the phone but with another provider...is this do-able? or will they say nothing wrong with the phone etc etc.

If it was possible to use my physical keyboard to type, and have the android emulator simulate it as if it were a touch (specifically- the button highlights, and letter overlay)

We have a user name and telephone field. User opens android keyboard and enters user name. Then in the keyboard user clicks the 'Next' button and it launches the telephone type keyboard. But the same behavior is not observed in case of swift keyboard. If user chooses swift keyboard, App doesn't bring the telephone keyboard on click of telephone field. Is there anyway I can enforce user to use Android Keyboard?

This is my first post ever -- I love the Android SDK (been at it for a week), but I did notice a small typo in the official documentation that needs correcting.
On this page within the example source code, the source says "CountdownTimer" on line 1 when it should say "CountDownTimer" (notice the capitalization of the letter "D"). An easy fix for one with programming experience, but the code as written will not compile, which could be confusing for someone using this code for the first time.
Is this where documentation bugs are submitted, and if not, where should I go to request the fix?

I'm creating a ListActivity. In each list item I have a View I've created which contains a RatingBar and an EditText. In the screenshot at the bottom, you can see the virtual keyboard contains a returnline key and no "Done" key. I would like to specify a different style of keyboard to use (and hopefully retain the spell checking bar). I would like my virtual keyboard to have a "Done" key instead of a return key. Can I set the style of virtual keyboard I'm wanting in the EditText's XML?

So yesterday my phone was working fine. No problems at all. But for some reason when I woke up this morning it started acting up. First, my phone would just freeze on me for awhile and then unfreeze like nothing happened. Second, my screen turned completely black twice for no apparent reason. And third, I can't even type using Swype or the stock keyboard anymore! It's either I can type but it won't show.. or I just can't type anything at all as if it's stuck.

Every once inwhile my keyboard stops working and I cannot type in any box that to fill in text. I tried the Swype and the Stock keyboard and both didn't work. The only way that I have been able to get it to work is by restarting the phone. Is there another way to fix this?

I have a CDMA Hero and when ever I type in landscape, the on screen keyboard is really laggy. The portrait keyboard is fine. I use handcent sms and I've tried to turn off sound and vibration still no luck. I've tried to use the default messaging app and its the same...any solutions?
I've tried use the stock HTC keyboard and better keyboard with no luck, both still lag while in landscape mode.
I have rooted the phone and flashed Fresh 2.0d.

When you press the 'google search button' on your Hero it takes you to the Browser.. I then turn it in landscape mode to get a bigger keyboard. As soon as I press any of the keyboard buttons the keyboard bounces up and down..thus you can't type properly..
Others have this problem too...

I am an IT Tech trying to work out a problem with a customers Android Tablet. The brand is something I've never heard of called a 'Gemini'.
Anyway, the onscreen keyboard doesn't activate when a type/search field has been tapped on the screen.
The OS is Android 4.1.1
He's other tablet which is the same works, but the screen is cracked so he bought another one of these hideous unresponsive pieces of crap.

How do I find out if my Desire screen is AMOLED or SLCD, as this seems to be important for rooting?There is nothing that makes sense on the box sticker, but then it IS an Orange phone.If I power up so I can see the HBoot info, it also says "Touch Panel Synt 0101". Does this mean anything?It's HBoot 0.83, and dated June 10 2010.

I've had my Desire for a couple of months now, love it, and very little I can complain about (except the occassional SD card problem!) However, I went to text today, and in the "To" field, I started typing, attempting the special "just press the number, and we'll guess the corresponding letter" approach, which I've used throughout my time with the phone. However, it didn't work: instead, it's just offering me T9 or normal ABC - it's not doing the clever guessing thing. For example, if I wanted to text my mum, stored as "mum" in my phone book, I'd usually type "686", however, now, that's simply coming up with "mtm". I don't think I switched any option, but if I inadvertently did, I can't find where to undo it.

Relatively new Desire owner here (nearly two weeks). I got the Desire as a replacement for my first Android phone, the Samsung i7500 Galaxy (grrrrrrr) as I complained about the ongoing issues with that handset (dialpad issues, lack of support from the manufacturer, etc).As it was a replacement during my contract they provided an as-new handset (refurb/return under O2s 14 day return period). Phone is def as-new, not a mark on it, screen protector, new battery and charger etc. However it came in a plain box, and so I don't know if it's an AMOLED or SLCD handset. Also, I have no idea when it was manufactured. Not an issue as I have a warranty, but it's a point of curiosity. Anyone know how I can find out both of these points?

Been playing with the handset for a few days now. Playing for the sake of playing. Its time to play on something I think. Ones that use the potential of the desire, free ones to start with. Maybe something that uses motion, like some of the iphone games I have seen. Some are basic but really addictive such as getting a ball to drop down platforms before it gets crushed at the top of the screen (not sure what its called). Also a decent brain training DS type game?

I searched many forums but there seems to be no clear way to identify the screen type other than by eye. Clue #1: The box has no mention of AMOLED. Clue #2: P/N is 99HKZ009-00 Clue #3: Made in China Clue #4: Unbranded, unlocked phone bought from a US retailer. My plan is to root. According to what I've read so far, the method depends on the type of screen, SLCD or AMOLED. I need to know for sure, so as not to brick the phone.

Been using internet brilliantly for about a month on HTC Desire right up to a couple of days ago after an update. Now it refuses to connect to any type of internet, 3G or WiFi.
I'm on contract with 3 (despite bad repuation in the past they appear to have caught up with other providers), but am still waiting to see if it is a problem on their side.

My current situation is that I have a phone with 2 camera apps on it, stock and camera FV-5.
Camera FV-5 is slower than the stock camera, so I only use it in situations which I need manual control.
Whenever I open whatsapp and try to send a photo, the app asks me which camera I want to use, with no option to always use stock. I don't want camera FV-5 to exist as an option, as I will open it if I want to use it.
Is there a way to remove an app from the list so that my phone does not recognise camera FV-5 as a camera?
