So, two sets of buttons...
A backup set, eh?
Are you some kind of funny man?
Cm9 has em and I think the goodness 2.1 has em too but I doubt it cuz we have the buttons and not as much room as a nexus.....
Can be easily enabled via build.prop
What's the point really?! Waste of space!
After crunching the.numbers,I came to the conclusion that seven buttons are better than four.
Would be a waste of screen space for me. I'd rather just use the capacitive buttons.
Meh maybe have it as an option ?
We're already limited on screen resolution when compared to the phones that use them. I don't see any reason to waste more when we already have hardware buttons that do the job.
There's actually one really good use for them, and that is when a mouse is paired via Bluetooth. The use case? If you have it MHL to HDMI to your TV or monitor.

Technically, the on-screen buttons are also capacitive but SEEEEEEEEEEEMANTICS!!!
Also, a permabar app-launcher thingy like the above post might be convenient maybe. Sorta.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I'd like the option so I can try it for myself. It seems like it's a major part of the ICS experience based on CM9 on my nook color....I'd be curious about the phone implementation.
Sure, it takes up space on our limited resolution at 240 density, but, set it to 160 (like all reasonable people) and it's virtually identical. Hell, our screen has the same amount of sub-pixels as the Gnex...if the use of sub-pixels is clever enough (I have no idea) there is little difference between our screen and that of the gnex....simply put (I don't feel like getting all mathematical right now....I know it's not actually the same use of sub-pixels).....I've never seen a Gnex screen, but, my ET4G at 160 density is still sharp and awesome--though some of the smaller items are a tad jaggy....but I'll take that in exchange for the tons and tons of extra displayable information.
Yes, I want the on screen buttons...toggle-able.

sorry if i'm reviving a dead thread, did a search and came up with this. how would one enable them? i've had lag on my soft buttons for a while now on ics. i'd love to be able to throw them up and shut off the backlight. i'm all for trying my hand at a build.prop edit. its the next step in learning i suppose.

It helps with the dropped keys, because it has a hardware keys predictive text feature. I love this keyboard, and I've had it less than 10 minutes.

I really liked this keyboard! I happened to find another keyboard called FlexT9, it has other awesome features too but one downside is it costs $4.99 USD. Plus it looks a lot better too.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input&hl=en
During the early TouchPal beta installing this would drop the function and shift key functionality in the hardware keyboard. (makes them not work) Can anyone confirm if this still happens, or has it been patched?
Been patched. Using the hardware keyboard right now, because TouchPal has a prediction for it, so skipped keys matter not anymore.

Am I the only one that thinks Swype 3.0+ is better? I'm trying really hard to like it but I can't help but feel like I'm typing significantly less efficiently.

Idk, I have no problems with either. They only thing I need to get used too, is that TouchPal adds a space when entering a word with the comma key, or period. I barley have to use the space bar, which is good, I'm just not used to it.

I agree there both good and I especially like the auto correct for the keyboard that's great. The only thing I would like is if there were themes for this keyboard cuz I'm not really liking the colours and if the symbols and numbers showed on the regular letters.
Thanks! I'm glad to have navigation and edit keys baked in

Why bother taking your case off, or wearing out the battery cover clips, or move more the necessarily?
This has never failed me.
Yes. To be honest, though, I always thought that it was power+volume up.
nope, just one button.

When people are shocked that you can "quickly and easily" adjust the brightness of your screen by sliding your finger across the notification menu, then yes, this is definitely ground-breaking news.

It has nothing to do with trust. He clearly stated his agenda and never gave a timeframe.

The blobs that everyone donated for was clearly a possible hardware issue which means that nobody would be able to fix it without mods made by hand. At best all he could do was look into it. Its not his fault people paid for a new phone just to look into it.
The whole situation is analogous to if Samsung released a new phone where a quarter of them had bad search buttons. It could be a software issue but likely a hardware problem with QA. Instead of exchanging the phone people then proceeded to setup a bounty to buy a new phone to get this fixed. Its looked into and it turns out its just a bad solder connecting the search button. This would of been likely in the first place and people should of just exchanged their phone rather than setting up a bounty for something which has a fair likelihood of being a hardware issue.
You have a hardware issue then exchange your phone.
If the blobs bother you exchange your phone. If the blobs only bother you when you have to follow a page of instructions on how to see it, really. If you need to follow a multi step guide to see it then its not that big of a deal. If it is then exchange your phone.
Just curious...
Anyone play the game Osmos....that will really show off your lines and blobs if you play it in a low light enviornment or at night.

Yeaaa I turned brightness all the way up and it is much better of course but it is just unfortunate that this bandaid is the end all solution. The battery when playing a game and having the brightness all the way up gets effed.

I don't have to do that when auto brightness is on for me I have lines. When it's off at the lowest brightness no lines. If I can't see in the sun I just slide my fingers across the status bar to adjust.

I think the whole on-screen button thing is kind of unnecessary. All it does is take up screen space and makes the bottom bezel/margin of the phone look bigger than it needs to be.

Well, looking at it from a different perspective, that space would be taken up by buttons anyway.
Also, it can help ease engineering the design of phones as it doesn't require having to plan for fitting those components there.
And finally, it's one less piece of hardware that can fail on you.

Maybe because this is an open forum where people are encouraged to ask questions, give opinions and basically share their experiences. It isn't beyond the scope of possibility that a new phone has people looking even further down the road at the next new phone and wondering what it might be like.

Well I dropped my phone a few days and now all I have is a black screen. I figure I need a new digitizer and lcd screen but all the parts for the t989 are really expensive. So I was wondering if I could use the digitizer/lcd screen from the Sprint Galaxy S2 D710 since both our phones have the same sized screen, that way I could save myself a lot of money.
Hopefully someone can help me out I'm already tired of using a blackberry!
