Swype on Virtuous - Strangeness - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

When you double tap a word in Swype, a word choice window pops up. On Virtuous, another edit box pops up and covers my word choice box. Anyone have any idea how to disable that other edit box?

Try rotating the phone to landscape. The contents will shift and the Sense edit box might clear the Swype edit box. Just a thought.

Rotating the phone to landscape for every word edit would get tedious. Serious carpal tunnel. I guess I'll just need to uninstall Swype and live with the Sense kb.
Thanks for the replies, guys!!

Keyboard change

Hi, can you change this keyboard

}
to this?
If you long press in the writing area, you'll get the option to change input method and there you'll be able to shift between keyboards. For example, if you have installed Swype, it'll be shown there.
I'm just have this option
That's because you don't have any other keyboard installed on your phone.
There are numerous keyboards available on the market. Personally, I prefer Swype 3.0 beta. You can find it here <beta.swype.com/>
Other keyboards you could try out are SwiftKey, SlideIT, TouchPal etc. Just have a look at the android market.
You can do it SE keyboard.
It will automatically change to tat one when you typing in numbers field(Phone no.)
Try some other keyboard like BetterKeyboard.
If it just appear on the number field, then the alphabet on the number is useless, right?

Yeah,tat is useless.

Are you looking for something in particular or just a method to change keyboards?

no, I'm not ask about method to change keyboard, but I want to change the keyboard into dial number like my first post
Well, you can do that with Swype. (I am talking with reference to Swype as that's my preferred keyboard).
To display the numeric keypad, press the Swype key + 5.
​
And you should get this.
​
If this was useful, use the Thanks button.
BTW, CNET has a helpful article on 7 Swype keyboard tips for better Swyping. Do check it out if you end up getting Swype.
Cheers!​
Well, uhh, the dial number doesn't got alphabet like my first post huh? =p thanks anyway

I can't vouch for it as I've never tried it but the (EvenBetter)NumberPad Keyboard seems to have what you seem to be looking for.
Also you can try Better Keyboard.

Erm. Where's the home button on the browser?

I hope I'm being blind but I can't see it. Hell I only found out recently that a long press on the back button brings up bookmarks, history and saved web pages.
Someone please tell me I'm being blind.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's been a home button in stock browser in a long time (if ever).
Im guessing if you open a new window, it will go to your homepage.

That is a massive tip it's been drving me nuts having to scroll to the top.
Yea I don't think there is a home button. I like the Honeycomb browser and the MIUI Siren Browser where the tabs are visible at the top like a desktop browser.
Not quite the home button but you can type a search into the address bar (with a quick flick to bring to life)
Although I can't answer your question, I like to thank you for the tip. Long pressing the back button is a great shortcut to get fast into the bookmark menu!

p.s not my image, ignore the volume thing.
once enable, by touching the frame, the blue control appear.
the first one gives you opened tabs.
the middle globe gives you the search address bar immediatly,
and the ... give you extra menu.

Multitouch problem.

I seem to be having a problem with my multitouch. Like when playing SAS 3, two finger controls seems to go haywire like it would sort of let go halfway. Any solutions/fix?

could be a faulty HOX..
Go to System Settings, scroll to bottom, tap on Developer Options, select the option "Pointer Location" and nothing else!!
now go home.. and touch the screen as you normally would with your 2 fingers and just drag down.. you'll see some crosses and lines.. if those lines have no brakes in them and they stay on screen until you touch somewhere else, then you should be fine, probably just the app that's bugged..
PS: disable the Pointer Location after you test..
report back

It works perfectly well with one finger but quite there's a slight delay when two fingers are there.

new keyboard

I am trying to find a keyboard with both the letters and numbers on one screen. I need to be able to enter both without pressing symbol button or shift to change keyboards. Do you guys know any APK's or program that would allow this? I have tried swift key and perfect keyboard and they didn't work.
I don't know of anything like what you want, and this should probably be posted in the themes and apps section, or the question section, but definitely not the Development section.

Swiftkey works fine. What did not work for you?
I am curious too as to why SwiftKey doesn't work for you. If you long press on a key either the single additional options will post or like the below will happen. View attachment 1746389

This one has a free version, but I don't know if you can add the numbers on the front keyboard on the free version. I know you can on pro. It looks like the aosp keyboard. You of course can customize it. Its worth the $3.

It is customizable as far as colors and layout, etc. I like it a lot! the numbers can by one tap change to punctuatuins, and arrows, etc.

Chrome Tabs Show As List

Anyone know why chrome (latest version) is showing my tabs as a list, rather than the "album cover" way they usually do? I just switched to the s9; it's this something with the phone, or maybe a new setting in Chrome?

My S9 has just changed to showing tabs as a list been through the settings but can't find anything to change it back
Mine is not showing as a list. What version are you guys running, my Chrome is 68.0.3440.91

Oh, man. I hope it's not permanent.

Find a fix?
Did you ever figure this out? My Galaxt Note 9, that I've had since launch, just suddenly started doing it and I hate it! I downloaded chrome beta and same thing!

Yes! Tapping the tab count now brings up a list, and swiping down from the URL/search box brings the "album art" fan of the tabs. It took some getting used to to start swiping instead.

OMG I was pulling my hair out. You've made me so happy as I could not find anyone talking about this. Did this only happen to Samsung's?
I like the new feature! Just wish I knew about it!

Glad to help!
