Any solution on how to navigate in SMS text using the 4-way keypad?

My problem can be described as follows:
Each time I'm writing an SMS I usually want to scroll up to review what I wrote, but the thing is that this can't be done using the up/down hardware buttons and I always have to use the stylus to click on the up arrow on the scroll-bar. This is really annoying for me. I don't know about u guys but any help is very much appreciated. Thanks, regards.
BTW, using an hTc Touch.
whats your phone? with my touch and prophet it works fine. maybe you need a new phone . good solution, isnt it.

Disable ALL vibration on HD Mini??

Hi guys,
Just wonder if there's an easy way (reg trick or something) to disable all vibration on HD Mini? I found it annoying when a phone does vibrate, so would like to make sure it NEVER vibrates, no matter what.
I know it is possible to disable vibration in settings, but not all of it — I was unable to figure out how to disable the vibration of 5 keys below the screen, for instance.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Bump. Still no ideas how to do that, HTC support didn't reply to my email and it's still very annoying...
Does anyone know if IGO8 works with the mini? I am seriously considering this device since I at the point of being able to renew my contract.
Would love to know if anyone knows. Thanks!!!
Cpt_Chaos,
Sorry, how does your question relate to my topic? Still waiting for the clues though...
I am also wondering how to disable to haptic feedback whenever i press the touch keyboard.
Hi, I am really sorry for the mix up. I had2 threads open in different tabs and this was one of the 2 that I was reading. Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. It was later and I didnt notice the mistake.

Yep, got it installed. Which specific setting should I look for?
Also got the same problem on both keyboard and the 5 keys. Any suggestion?
tactical bump
Right, so we got an official reply from HTC support: disabling haptic feedback for the 5 hard keys is not possible.
Looks like I am going to sell the damn thing.

Hmm. This sucks!
Can you please tell me how long did you wait for the reply? I'm still waiting for an answer about my email/Imap problem.

auto-correct on hardware keyboard

Does anyone know if it's possible to setup auto-correct on the hardware keyboard? Or at least make sure it's consistent? Sometimes it seems like it'll auto correct some words (like now "im" automatically changes to "I'm") but others times notsomuch.
Anyone else noticing this? Anyone else annoyed by it?

Well, that's embarrassing. Thanks for the heads up - I can't believe I missed that.

It is in an odd place under touch input - I first read that as on-screen keyboard, but in my searching I happened across it.
Glad I could help
If you have your on screen keyboard changed to swype those settings don't do anything, if it isn't obvious.
Correction and prediction doesn't work in the HTC messaging app no matter what the settings.

This may explain a lot. My ROM does not provide me with any option other than "Touch Input."
I have been trying to get back that Blackberry autocorrect feeling, but the other threads that suggest hacking the reg to switch compime for et9ime always screwed up my hardware keyboard.
If you use SwiftKey you'll get auto correct with hardware keyboard.

Swift key if the way to go with hardware key board... It's amazing. I use keyboard manager to have swift key in land scape and swype in portrait. Perfect combo

Multi Window

I can't seem to be able to use the keyboard to type in the top app when I use multi-window. Pressing any key reverts me to the app on the bottom half of the screen. I'm using Swiftkey btw. Anyone know fixes? Thanks in advance.

I believe when you are using Stock Keyboard, you can detach it and move around when in Multiwindow mode. But i don't know about SwiftKey, play around in it's settings and see...

Wow bro i was exactly in this moment post this issue.
I have the problem to i cant type in the upper app whatever the app is, i also use siwftkey. Have you find any solution? this happened to me after upgrading to kitkat sm-n900.
I tried undocking swiftkey and it worked, but it can be the complete solution. There are some pics of different apps , another issue is that when i want to edit the multiwindow apps the option to go play store is not available.
I don´t know were to look, if any of you know something please share
Thanks
Nope, sorry man. Currently i'm just sticking to swapping the top screen with the bottom whenever I need to type. Tedious though
I have this issue too. I noticed that the stock keyboard doesn't have this problem.
As a temporary solution I used tasker with the note buddy plugin to automatically switch the SwiftKey keyboard to stock.
I know it's just not the best solution since you always have to pull out the s pen, but it's something.
For those who don't have tasker, there's the SpenBoardswitcher.

Has there been and solutions or updates to this? Driving me nuts. I noticed that after I updated my note 3 to 4.4.2 on att this issue presented itself
Swiftkey doesn't support Multiwindow. It has never officially done so.
Ugh. Quite frustrating but it is what it is. Thanks for the response.

No multitasking without gesture hints

Hey guys,
as it says.
I've found that multitasking doesn't work with gesture navigation...unless I have gesture hints enabled.
Anyone else come across this? Or am I doing something wrong?
Edit: slide multitasking using the home button/swipe

Works fine without hints. You can try reset settings by searching for it in settings, then wipe cache in recovery.
Ah sorry bud, I should have said "slide multitasking" using the home button.
Thank you for replying though.
What are you talking about ?
Download Good Lock from the Galaxy Store then open it and download task changer. Might be a good substitute.

You are correct that this does not work. Without gesture hints or buttons there is no way to slide your finger across the bottom to advance the app cards. I reported it to Samsung but they classified it as an enhancement, as though they intended to design it in this broken and inconsistent way. Anyway, entire implementation of gestures on this phone is way behind iPhone X and OnePlus.
