Sprint HTC Hero :: Compact Qwerty Keyboard Options?
Mar 22, 2010So out of all the keyboards I have tried so far (swype, shapewriter, default HTC qwerty keyboard) The only one that seems to work for me is the compact qwerty keyboard that comes with HTC. However one annoying thing about this is that whenever typing in the google box or the address bar in the browser and certain other application the the xt9 feature is disabled. Hence I have to double tap each button. For example typing "qwerty" with XT9 feature disabled takes ages and annoying as heck. Do I have any free options for compact qwerty keyboards that work with word prediction and XT9 feature everywhere?

Apr 18, 2010For those of you that are familiar with better keyboard. I was wondering about an easy way to switch from the t9 keyboard to the regular qwerty keyboard. I was under the impression that swiping left would toggle between the 2 but all that does is bring me to the numbers and symbols keyboard. I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.

Feb 1, 2010I've got a activity with one AutoCompleteTextView with associated 'doit' and 'clear' Buttons and a read-only TextView that displays the result of 'doit'. These results are being partially obscured by the QWERTY keyboard. I'm trying unsuccessfully to shift focus from the auto complete text view to the clear button (or the read only text view) thinking that as soon as the auto complete text view loses focus, the keyboard will go away.
So my question is really two questions:
1) Once I succeed in programmatically arranging for my auto complete text view to lose focus, will the keyboard go away?
2) Focus is stuck on my auto complete text view. I've setFocusable (true) on the clear button and the other read-only text view, and called requestFocus() from each (I've tried both). Also setText("") in the auto complete view. No love. Can I not set focus to a read-only textview or a Button?

View 7 Replies View RelatedHTC EVO 4G :: What Makes Best Touch Qwerty Keyboard? Deep Analysis
Jun 8, 2010Now I'm not a professional reviewer, but I think I have some good insight to share. Also you may be wondering why this is in the EVO 4G forum, well the EVO is considered one of the best phones out there and I happen to own an EVO myself. I think the phone is great, but I'm usually critical of my devices and I like to take a look at the keyboard as I'm an avid texter. I see a lot of posts of people wondering why one keyboard is not as accurate as another phone. If you're a big texter and you're looking for a really good text phone, I promise this is a good read. So what makes the best touch QWERTY keyboard? Well we would have to look at the criteria of what makes the best QWERTY keyboard:
Keyboard layout
Capacitive touch screen quality
Multitouch
Accuracy of predictive text
If a phone can do all of these things perfectly, you'll have a phone that will be a texting monster. Lets take a look at what I think is the most important criteria, keyboard layout.
Portrait Keyboard Layout
Unfortunately, I think the EVO comes in last for keyboard layout. It has the largest screen, but it wastes most of it with its oversized cursor buttons. The cursor buttons need to be smaller for the other keys to breathe and need to be in a D-Pad layout. If the keyboard is top notch, we shouldn't be using the cursor keys so frequently to fix errors. Also why the keyboard takes up 2/3 of the screen confuses me. This is purely opinion, but I would rather have the "hide keyboard" button not take up space and move it in the upper right like the Nexus One and iPhone as a "Done" button. Lastly the EVO has the shortest "width wise" space bar. The space bar is used frequently and shouldn't be gimped like that. So that leaves the Nexus 1 and iPhone. If you look closely, the iPhone has the most space between keys. Most typing errors are from keys being so close together and hitting the wrong key.
The EVO faces the same problem, although the keys are bigger, so are the keys that are right next to it. Bottom line, keys not only need to be bigger, they need more breathing room in between each other. Another close detail is the "q" and "p" key. The EVO has those keys farther away from the edge of the screen than the iPhone and Nexus 1. The edge of the screen is the least responsive area, so is this space a benefit or a negative? My take on it is that one of two things happen, you either hit the neighboring key, or the key doesn't register at all. If you hit the neighboring key, it takes much longer to edit, rather than to just try and hit the key again. So even though the edge is less responsive, its more beneficial to have the "q" and "p" key closer to the edge and away from its neighboring key. Portrait Keyboard layout goes to iPhone, 2nd Nexus1, 3rd EVO 4G
Landscape Keyboard Layout
Next is landscape mode. I thought this deserved to be addressed as it changes everything. Although the iPhone still has more space between the keys, I'm gonna have to give this landscape mode to the EVO. Unfortunately the space bar on the EVO is STILL the shortest out of the three. So why does landscape make such a big difference even though the keys on the EVO are tightly packed? Well the difference is that the keys are now squares, instead of thin rectangles. This increases accuracy a lot and pretty much negates the disadvantages of having narrow spaces in between the keys. Again HTC could of capitalized on more space for the general keys by not taking up so much space with the cursor keys. As for the Nexus1, the keys are slightly bigger than the iPhone, but are still really tightly packed, so I would say its a tie.
Landscape mode goes to EVO, tie for iPhone and Nexus 1
Capacitive Touch Screen Quality
What good is a keyboard if the screen can't even read your touch actions? I know that the EVO is not tested in this, but we can still use this as a base of comparison. I really believe that the quality of the screen plays a very big role in the responsiveness of your touch actions. Nothing is more annoying then having your touch actions not being registered correctly or not at all. Right off the bat, the Nexus1 is out. So its now the iPhone and EVO 4G. From what I have read, but I can't seem to find the article. The EVO 4G uses a much higher quality capacitive touch screen compared to the Nexus1, most likely very close to the iPhone. So I'll say its a tie between the EVO and iPhone.
Capacitive Touch Screen quality goes to, EVO 4G/iPhone tie, 2nd Nexus 1.
Multitouch
With a multitouch keyboard you're able to type faster. All those fast typers out there can really appreciate a multitouch keyboard. I'm not sure if the Nexus1 supports this, but I don't think it does, so correct me if I'm wrong. So in this case you either have multitouch keyboard or you don't and the iPhone is the only one to have it.
Multitouch goes to iPhone, tie for EVO 4G and Nexus1
Accuracy of Predictive Text
I don't have any experience in this on the Nexus1, but only on the EVO 4G and iPhone. So anyone can chime in if I'm incorrect on this matter. I would think the EVO and Nexus1 would be the same considering they're both Android devices. From my experience and watching many videos, it seems like the iPhone does a better job at correcting and predicting text input compared to the EVO.
Predictive text goes to the iPhone, tie for EVO 4G/Nexus1
Misc
So the last thing I think all the phones adds a little something to make texting easier that doesn't quite fit the criteria. The iPhone OS has a pretty neat magnifying glass where you can move the cursor. I found this extremely handy. The EVO 4G has the cursor buttons instead, which isn't as slick, but can prove to be more precise. Then finally both the EVO 4G and Nexus1 has the voice to text feature from Google, which is pretty dang accurate.
MISC goes to the EVO 4G, tie for iPhone/Nexus1
So what phone do you think has the best, most accurate touch QWERTY keyboard? Is it one of these three, or another phone out there. Also what do you think makes the best touch QWERTY keyboard phone? I appreciate those who took the time to read, took me a while to type up.

Nov 7, 2010I got my phone rooted and got velocity on the phone, but i noticed some issues within the first few days. the 50% bug seemed to get worse, before i could do the airplane thing and it would be good for about a week, now when i do it it will last less than a day and i cant get more than a day of battery life with not using my phone much at all, before i could get about 2 days with regular use.
when i slide the keyboard out an the screen switched to landscape the all the icons and widgets would disapear then re-appear about 15 seconds later, it does the same thing when closing the keyboard. some times it gets stuck and just flashes the screen with no icon or wigets and the only way i can fix it is rebooting the phone.
the flashlight app that comes with it works perfectly but when i close the app the notification lights keeps flashing and changing colors it wont stop untill i reboot the phone. everything else seems to be working fine for me. p.s. the ad blocking in the apps is a very nice addon

View 3 Replies View RelatedMedia :: Compact Flash Reader For Android
Oct 20, 2010I've had a Droid X for a few weeks, (Verizon) just upgraded it to Android 2.2, and I'm just about convinced that I can leave the laptop at home. However, there are a few things in my workflow that I still can't do on the Droid.
When I travel, I take photos with a professional camera, uploading snapshots from the scene within hours of taking the pictures, and then following up with a more comprehensive, retouched gallery when I get home. In the past I've read the images into a laptop in the hotel room, touched them up, and then posted them.
In the field, I just need to do small adjustments to the images -- crop, exposure, and color correction. As lucky would have it, Photoshop for Android meets these needs.
So I've got the photos in the pro camera, and the Droid X will edit and upload photos. If I had a way to get images from the camera to the phone, I'd be golden.
One obvious solution is to take the memory card out of the camera and put it in the phone. But firstly, the camera takes compact flash not SD cards and the phone (of course) doesn't have a compact flash slot, and secondly, it's inelegant. The hot setup would be either to plug the camera directly into the phone's usb port (the camera appears to a host as a mass storage device) or plug a compact flash card reader into the phone's usb port.
