I'm having a minor albeit annoying problem where when I hit reply for an SMS and the thread comes up, instead of the cursor appearing in the text field which would allow for immediate typing response, the cursor is focused on the previous message and requires either the first letter of the message to be pressed twice or for the text box to actually be touched in order to bring the cursor down. I'm running DCD 4.1.2, I've had this problem before with some other roms I've used. If there is anyone that knows how I can fix this that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've got an annoying problem with my hd2, it doesn't want to stop interfering when I type messages in an other language than english. I've gone into to touch input options and disabled pretty much everything there so that it doesn't suggest or autocorrect anything but still it keeps doing it.
Is this a bug?
On the left side of your keyboard, near the "Z" letter there is a button. Press it to highlight ABC instead of XT9. I believe this will solve the problem.
First post after having my DX an entire week, trying to find what I can without being too noob but can't seem to find a solution to this.
I tend to type 99% of the time in landscape and seeing how the keyboard takes up 90% of the screen, I often can't see what fields I'm entering for the text. The keyboard automatically opens when attempting to input and assumed if I pressed outside of a text field, it would close the keyboard but no go.. Is there anyway to close the keyboard, even if it's just to scroll on whatever page I'm on to see what else is there then come back to the keyboard when I'm ready by clicking within the text area?
That probably made no sense but hopefully you get the jist of it. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: The back button seemed to work, disregard.
You can also swype from the top of the keyboard to the bottom and it will minimize.

Also you can press/hold the menu button to close. You can also do this to raise the keyboard at any time.
Several times I've had the ring cursor suddenly appear, highlight text, then it gets deleted as i'm in the middle of typing. anyone else had this happen? i'm assuming that my thumb is just close to the trackpad? Any way to adjust the sensitivity on this thing? I regularly use the dock as a mini laptop and do work on it, so this is very frustrating - especiallly in email where there is no undo function.
TIA

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can disable the touchpad by pressing the 4th button from the left in the shortkey row.
To improve your user experience of the TF+dock, I strongly urge you to learn all those shortcuts.
Hi,
I have noticed a weird problem with my Iconia A500's keyboard for some time. It seems that I can't hold any key pressed anymore; when I do it looks like the key gets pushed only once. E.g., if I hold the 'g' key, instead of multiple g's appearing only one gets written down. That would't be that much annoying but it seems I can't activate caps lock anymore (when I hold it so it activates it does exactly the same action as when I click it briefly, that is capitalize only te next letter) , the smileys key (it justs inserts ' ' no matter how long I press it instead of displaying te smiley menu) or backspace (now if I want to delete a sentence I have to press backspace once for every letter -- very annoying!!). Also, sometimes, when I'm typing, a certain key remains highlighted.
I am running stock 3.2 Android on the tab but I think the problem's there since 3.1, maybe even before that, I don't think I have noticed it right away and that's the problem, I don't know what really caused this. Maybe it was an Android update, maybe an app update, a virus or a wrong setting.
Thing is it doesn't seem to be a problem with the screen because it's working just fine anywhere else, like games that require multiple touch. Could corrupt keyboard files be a probable cause? Can they be replaced?
I would be really, really grateful if you could give me any advice on this little annoying problem of my tab.
Thanks,

Are you 100% sure that when you long pressed that it would repeat the character (also am I understanding what you wrote correctly?)?
So far every keyboard that I have tried between both my phone and tablet will either do nothing or it will give you some alternate characters like the long pressing the 'e' will give me a '3'.
Do you remember using a different keyboard at some point?
I think your confusing your A500 with another device???
I just tried every keyboard I have installed on my tablet(stock Android, Thumb keyboard, XT9 keyboard, and Swiftkey) and none of them will type multiple letters with a long press on the key. I don't think I've ever seen a keyboard that would do that. Most of them will give a choice of alternate letters/symbols/etc. when you long press.
It seems I have realised what the problem actually was. I didn't think it had any connection with Accesibilty, as the touch and hold delay setting was set to short, but it seems that if I disable Accesibilty completely the problem goes away. Now the alternate characters work as intended. Problem solved!
There seems to be a bug in the backspace of the handwriting "Keyboard" (native Samsung).
EDIT: Happens in Chrome Browswer
When you place the cursor in the middle of a line of text (such that you have characters on both sides of the cursor) and press the backspace button, it will behave unexpectedly.
It first deletes one character, then moves the cursor one space to the right.
This results in the deletion of the wrong character upon Second pressing of the delete button.
This is extremely annoying and makes correcting mistakes very difficult.
Can anyone confirm this problem?

Are you having this problem within a browser text field or in note taking application. It is quite common for keyboards to show strange behavior in browser text fields. This is normally the fault of the browser if I have understood correctly.
I use a keyboard called messagease and it to can do some pretty strange things in some browsers. Some functions like "delete" do not work at all. Delete becomes backspace in this forum.
If the problem occurs in a browser write and inform the developer
yes you're right it does seem to be browser related. This problem does not emerge in Firefox.
