What happens when you long scroll your Contacts, remember? In 2 seconds the phone starts to circle through big letters A-Z which allows you to go directly to the letter you want. You all know this.
The big letters are always Latin.
Alas! for those who store their Contacts in other languages.
Even in my Russian firmware the phone goes through A-Z.
The question: how to make a Wizard look through non-Latin letters?
That would interest me too :wink:

I just recently purchased an atom stealth. Its been ok so far except for the Ezitext "multi-tap" recognition of the letters I input on the keypad.
Its very slow for typing letters. It takes about less than a second for the letter to get accepted. During the "wait time", it basically waits to see if i will change the letter I chose.
Is there any way to tweak the input method to make it recognize the letters I key-in faster?
Its very slow for SMS standards, expecially in the Philippines where Texting is an everyday communications medium.
Thanks in advance.
Good news
I just upgraded my ROM and the eZiTEXT bug has been fixed so smsing is almost like a nokia keypad There is also a multi-tap feature installed if you are more comfortable using that over ezitext.
see the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282292&highlight=stealth "where can i find english rom for o2 atom stealth?" and download it from the link provided there by the user wepinbell2000
Thanks.
May I ask for a favor..... (and for all who upgraded to the new rom)
Can you try the multitap function and is if you can immediately move on to the next letter, of if you can immediately choose a new key right after another?
say...... if you press "2" then immediately followed by "3" on the physical keypad, do you get both the letters "a" and "d" or do you just get "d"?
this is the problem i have on my curreny rom 061128, it only recognizes the last letter i chose, not unless I wait for the letter to be accepted which takes about 3/4 of a second.
I text very fast using multitap (like in nokia).
thanks again.
EZITEXT a big mess....
any one out there who knows how to tweak/fix eZitext on my XDA Stealth... device performance is acceptable enough, but the built-in sliding pad is a big HEADACHE...
i think the design of the keypad is meant to have the STEALTH perform as a normal phone (eg NOKIA series) for text/nos inputs, but the functionality is far worst than expected...
1) eZitext has no options/menus to change some settings...
2) whenever a push on the keypad is conducted, it would be recognized, but the device will start to provide SUGGESTED WORDS that totally BUGS me OFF...
3) for fast texters, TYPED letters are not automatically displayed, leaving it to wait for additional characters thus waiting for suggested words to be formed...
Why can't they make that KEYPAD worked like the KEYPAD of XDAIIs... "WHAT YOU PRESS IS WHAT YOU GET"... regardless of what keypad options you choose... i would rather want to see this device performing, like when i want letter "C", i just need to press "2" 3x...
eZitext is annoying and should be named as EZ---- hehehe...
thanks for the future help...
I have a Diamond with BsB6.5Q ROM.
Hi there, don't know if this is a ROM issue or a WM6.5 issue. I use the Compact QWERTY that is supplied in this ROM - I prefer to use the "phone keypad" style of keyboard. As I do 95% of my texts in the native Welsh language, I keep T9 switched off (there is no such feature in Welsh). However, when I write a text message in Welsh sometimes the spacebar won't work - it simply won't let me put a space there - I have to press 'enter' then 'backspace' to remove the restriction. This is not a screen sensitivity issue, because the 'shadow' appears above the spacebar to signify that it has been pressed. This problem doesn't arise when writing English texts, so I'm assuming that the problem occurs because the phone is trying to be clever and trying to predict that there shouldn't be a space after a certain letter.
I've looked through the settings and I can't find anything to switch this off. Any ideas?
Also, when writing, I would really like to be able to move the cursor backwards and forwards through the text, say if I want to correct an earlier error. Having to press the desired location with my finger is not good enough, because I need three or four attempts to get it right due to being the owner of a large thumb. I was then thinking about the Diamond's scroll wheel - this would be ideal for the job. Is there any way use that to scroll, i.e. anti-clockwise to move cursor to the left, clockwise to move right?
Thanks
Right, please ignore my last paragraph above - I completely forgot about the up/down/left/right buttons around the scroll wheel. The Left/Right buttons do exactly what I want.
Now, all I want is a fix for my keyboard problem (1st paragraph). It only happens for some words, and when it happens I cannot type any of the punctuation characters - I can only continue typing letters. Also when this happens the word (or most of it) is underlined. I don't understand why the word that's currently being typed would need to be underlined. It seems like parts of T9 is still on, even in ABC mode.
Any ideas?
Hello!
I have searched this and found little about it, so I'm gonna ask you about it.
I have LeeDroid HD running Android 2.3.3. I have 2 main issues regarding the sms app: the red dotted line that appears when using words not recognized by the phone (I write my messages in Romanian), and the fact that, when I tap a word in the message (say I typed a wrong character in the middle of it), instead of moving the cursor at that position and allowing me to edit freely, it moves it there, selects the entire word, and presents me options from an English dictionary to choose from as alternatives for the word. When I try to move the cursor back and forth, it navigates the suggestions, and the only way of getting out of them is to tap a white space, then navigating to the needed position with the arrow keys. All the options under Language and keyboard > Touch Input are unchecked (Spell correction, Prediction and Word completion). Am I doing anything wrong? Is it a way to bring back the behaviour of good old 2.2 sms app, or do I need to switch to a custom, less time consuming sms app?
Thank you!
Hi, guys,
I have come across a strange bug I think. I remember that with other Samsung phones I've had or played with, when I have changed the language of the entire interface this have had effect on the language of the contacts index letter sidebar on the right - you know, the one that helps you navigate to the first letter of a contact quickly.
With International Note 3 (N9005) no matter what I do to language settings, I don't see the index letters change. Any ideas can this be done in settings somehow that don't know.
The problem is that my contacts names are in cyrillic and I practically cannot use the fast indexing as in this universal alphpabetical order all the cyrillic letters come before the latin alphabet, somewhere after symbols and numbers.
Thanks
So got my phone today, everything else works fine but the scandic letters (ä, ö, å) dont show in almost every app and in the settings.
So whats the problem with that? Its a bit anoying to example try to write a message when i dont see the scandic letters. Yes i can write them but i dont see them in some Apps.
Edit. It doesn't help if i change the android language to English. Example. SwiftKey doesn't show me the scandic letters in the prediction bar.
Edit2. The problem is very weird, in some apps (Facebook, whatsapp), in some lines the scandic letters work and in some lines it doesn't show. So example in Facebook in someone's post it shows the scandic letters but in the next one it doesn't show.
Edit3. Factory reset solved the problem
