HTC Hero : No Keyboard In Landscape While Start In Portrait

Mar 6, 2010

If I go through the following sequence then tap "Search Text" the keyboard will not display - is something broken?

1. Start in Portrait
2. Tap Browser
3. Tap Google Search
4. Input text
5. Tap desired Website
6. Rotate Hero to Landscape
7. Tap Menu
8. Tap More
9. Tap Find on Page
10. Tap "search text" - nothing happens!

The above works if I stay in Portrait and if I do not rotate to landscape until after step 9.

Motorola Droid X :: APP - ROOT - Keyboard - Keyboard Manager - Dual Keyboard - Portrait - Landscape Switch

Nov 10, 2010

I tried it and it works so far.

Dev = ne0fhyk from XDA.

From the XDA forum: Link to app page = [APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch - xda-developers

Verbage:

Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.

Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.

To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer

The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'

Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion

Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.

The app is still in development.

General :: ZTE Blade - Hide Status Bar In Landscape But Not In Portrait For Big Keyboard?

Aug 9, 2012

I'd like to have the following:

In Portrait mode: normal size keyboard in Landscape mode: big size keyboard, should use about 70 -80 % of the screen.

Currently I am using Hackers Keyboard, 4 Row, 70% size. There are 2 lines left to see, when typing.

Is there a way or an app so the android status bar (clock, battery, etc) is hidden when turning the phone from Portrait to Landscape so the whole screen can be used for typing?

ZTE Blade,

Android 2.3.5

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Android Keyboard Response - Landscape And Portrait Mode

Sep 2, 2010

I am having a lot of difficulty with my keyboard in both landscape and portrait. I am using the "Android Keyboard" that came with the phone. Examples of what I am referring to:

1. Wrong Key Showing: I type one letter and a different one is actually displayed.
2. Horrible Response: I get half way through an email and realize I need to fix an error in the middle of the paragraph. Trying to get the cursor where I want it a extremely hard to do and often it will move, but not where it is suppose to be moved to. Other times the cursor simply doesn't move at all and I have to erase all the back to where the error is and than retype. And no the cut and paste or copy and paste do not work since the cursor is not moving.
3. Random sentences just erase: I will be typing and hit the back key to erase a character, but instead it erases a line or two and won't stop.

Suggestions and no I am not going to root and void the warranty.

My Evo seems to have a very strong preference for landscape view. Any time I am not holding the phone completely straight up it drops to landscape. Then even if I do push it back straight up it doesn't wanna go back to portrait view. Has anyone else experienced this and are there any tricks to get rid of the problem?

General :: Different Layouts For Portrait / Landscape?

Oct 17, 2013

Is it possible and if, then how, to achieve different layouts for portrait and landscape mode.

So basically whenever you rotate your screen (for the sake of example) in Nova launcher Prime, the layout could either separately be set up or it would switch from say 10x8 to like 8x10 or whatever you choose.

At the moment when you rotate the screen the portrait layout obviously looks pretty much messed up (see attachments for example of a messed up landscape layout).

HTC Hero :: Soft Keyboard Does Not Go Into Landscape Mode When Phone Is Orientated

Feb 18, 2010

I would've been happy as a passive forum user and keeping up with other's posts but my Hero has recently developed a problem, prompting me to sign up and get some advice from you guys who have more experience.

Basically in the last couple of days my soft keyboard has randomly decided to change how it displays and works! 3 main problems:

- sometimes soft keyboard does not go into landscape mode when phone is orientated (seen suggestions on here of calibrating keyboard and installing bubble and running the bubble clibration: tried both of these but has not solved problem).

- when phone does decide to let me in landscape mode no text is displayed as you type....only when you switch back to portrait do you see what you have typed

- when in text message mode the predictive text box has moved and is now being overlayed on the text message body, so basically i cannot see what i am typing! (the predictive text box used to be displayed above the text message body). This problem is the most annoying out of the two!

Android :: Portrait / Landscape Mode Supporting

Mar 31, 2009

When we try to implement orientation in AP layer, we can set "android:screenOrientation" parameter in AndroidManifest.xml file or call "setRequestOrientation()" method of Activity class. But if I want to porting android in new HW device, how can I do? Do I need to modify the graphic driver, or just add configuration in program. (Actually I do some experiments but my AP cannot rotate) Besides, can every experts tell me when I set the "android:screenOrientation" parameter, which process will read this configuration, pass to where and which process will do the rotation?

Android :: Portrait Vs Landscape Orientation Using Sensor

Dec 18, 2009

I'm trying to detect landscape vs portrait orientation with the following:

public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) { float pitch = event.values[2];
if (pitch <= 45 && pitch >= -45) { // portrait }
else if (pitch < -45) { // landscape }
else if (pitch > 45) { // landscape } }

Anyone have something more robust? It works pretty well, except if the phone is in a landscape orientation and the user starts to 'flatten' it out, starts thinking it's in the portrait orientation again.
