Dear all,
I just got my X1i. I find that the sensitivity of the screen is OK but when I quickly tap twice consecutively, for example when typing using on-screen keyboard where I will tap twice very quickly, my X1 just senses my input as a long click. For example when I am using notes, I put one finger on the left side and another on the right side. When I tap on the right then lift up my finger, and quickly tap on the left, it will result in a staight line instead of just 2 points.
Are there any tweaks I can do in the registry to minimize the time to wait for another tapping? So that it can recognize a new tap as soon as I finish my first tap?
Sorry for my poor English.
Anyone knows how??

Hi everyone,
You know, if we wanted to change the type of input in the middle of entering text to another input method, we have to tap that small little arrow that appears beside the SIP/Input Panel icon (bottom, middle of the screen) which is the SIP/Input Selector? Well with all rage for finger only input, is there any way at all to have some sort of shortcut to this little arrow/input selector? Maybe have it mapped to a hardware button or have an icon appearing in the task bar or something that is big enough to be tapped with a finger.
At the moment, I either have to pull the stylus out just the change the input method or do some gymnastics with my finger and nail to tap that tiny little arrow which sits very close the to the input panel (which is another problem).
ftSwitchSip?
Here you go, install the cab and map it to a hardware button.

Late answer: Slide leftwards
I know this is a very late answer, but other might find it useful.
With the sip popped up. Press sip-icon and SLIDE leftwards, this will pop-up the sip selector, and can be done with any finger, even a thumb.
(Sliding downwards will close the sip, think of it as 'pulling' the keyboard down, a dubblet of just tapping the icon)
I am a noob and this is my first post, so go easy on me. I have a mogul phone and one of the problems i have is trying to use my finger to press icons or words that are in the corners of the screen. For instance the X button, or the start button, or the (soft Key)? buttons at the bottom of the screen. And especially the Keyboard (SIP) icon. Is there anyway to "draw in the whole screen size" so it could pull these icons away from the corners and sides. I didnt have this issue withe the iphone as their screen is flush with the edges of the device so my finger could still hit on part of the icon.

First as a noob, don't start a thread, direct your questions to:

Second, you should look at some of the more finger-friendly approaches. Manilla 2D is a very good one. Besides most of the task you mentioned can be achieved by using a hardware button.
Welcome, one of the first thing you are gonna hear from anyone here is do a search or rtfw (read the f****** wiki)
second of all like wearefree already stated just about all the function you are trying to do can be accoplished with a hardware button (which are much more accurate)
try manilla 2d for basic function but your phone is capable of doing just about anything you want to you just need to be able ask google the right questions
I have this issue when i use the onscreen keyboard, when i go to press the spacebar, i quite often end up pressing the full stop/period key instead and it cheeses me right off!
Just this moment i thought i would use the landscape keyboard and i was typing away and used my right thumb as usual to press the spacebar, but it was a bit far and strained by thumb, so i thought i would use my left thumb, feels odd but i wasnt getting any full stop errors, or even accidently pressing the comma button (the button the otherside of the space bar) as the space bar in portrait is ever so slightly towards the left, meaning that the left thumb can hit the spacebar more accurately.
What thumb do you guys use to press the spacebar? and do you get this accidental full stop button press like i do?
if you press the space bar twice after a word it puts a full stop in and then a space. you may be doing this by accident. try using the tip of your finger and not the pad as it is more accurate that way.

why would that help? my problem is that my right thumb seems to in a better position to press the full stop. there is nothing wrong with the screen!
ok, so ive noticed that sometimes when i pull down the notification shade that my first tap doesnt get recognized....but if i close the shade and reopen, then my finger press gets recognized. or when i try to tap on one of the 'recent' applications section of the shade, i need to double tap sometimes.
sometimes to a lesser extent, i notice this in the market when i press the search box too. most times though everything gets recognized with a quick tap instead of needing a firm delayed tap or double tap.
anybody think this is a bug?
ive looked around a little and nobody seems unhappy with the touch sensitivity/grounding so not sure what to do...
but ive never had it happen on the lockscreen or launcher bar or other programs that i can remember either.
This happens to me sometimes. It doesn't bother me. It may be a small bug but I suspect it is actually the trackpad pulling focus. Sometimes the trackpad will detect a slight input and place focus on a nearby screen icon or menu item, depending on which type of screen you're on. The focus highlight is subtle and hard to notice so that "first tap" might actually be your finger pulling focus back to your intended selection. Your second tap opens it.
hi guys
i know this is more like an android question than the note...but hope my fellow note owner can help me solve this
i am an iphone user previously and whenever i wanna correct text in a search box, all i have to do is to press the word, hold it, and the magnifying glass comes up and i can scroll it left to right to place the curser right on the letter i want to edit
however with anroid there is no such magnifying glass and i must tap the letter i want to make the changes to..this might takes few trys to get the curser right beside the letter i want to make changes to...however my biggest problem is that i cannot correct words that are beyond the length of the search bar
for example the width of the google search bar only fit 3 words, and the forth or fifth word is not display...how do i scroll to these words to malw corrections ? it is annoying as i usually need to erase the whole phrase to make corrections ...
also how do i scroll up and down with forum boxes like this one i am typing in...iphone use two fingers...
thank you!!!
To place the cursor, just tap the screen where you need it. If it's not in the right place, put your finger on the pointy topped blue handle just under it and slide it where you need it.
When using the Swype keyboard (long press on any text box, select input method, then choose it from the list of installed keyboards) you can just tap on any word and it'll bring up a list of other words you might have meant to type. Tap on the one you want and the word changes. Makes for very quick editing of text. If the word's not in the list, just hit the Swype key, the word is highlighted, and Swype it again. Swyping is where you put your finger on the first letter of a word and drag it to the other letters, then lift it when done. It'll automatically insert spaces since each Swype is a word. It's a lot faster than pecking out text on conventional keyboards.
For scrolling large text boxes where the text more than fills it, just drag it up and down with one finger. Works fine for me in this post I'm doing now. The issue with the google search box where long entries go past the end does suck. I haven't found anything better for that than just deleting it all and starting over (Swyping from Swype key to letter A selects all.) Or sometimes you can just hit search then change it on the Web page.
BTW, concerning large text boxes, I've found Opera Mobile is the only browser that reflows the text inside so you don't have to constantly scroll left/right to see what you're writing. You couldn't pay me to write a post like this on any other browser!
Edit: on some keyboards, Swype included, you can bring up a set of arrow keys you could use to scroll over to the right on those long entries in the google search box.
