Hello,
Our Leo's have the new text selection method in sms (where you drag a arrow to where you want to select text). The problem is that this selection is not recognized by input methods like SlideIT or Swype.
So I cannot edit/add words trough selection like I should be able to. If I use a simple text editor that uses the old selection method (like Pocket Notepad), I'm able to edit/add words in SlideIt.
So, is there anyway I can use the old selection method in SMS?
The ideal would be using the new selection method but making it work with SlideIT...
Bump bump bump
Lemme make sure I'm understand this - you want to highlight a selection of text in sms and bulk add them as good words in SlideIT/Swype - so that wheh you slide out a word the ones you added are now valid words?

Yes, also remove and edit a word...
But Swype/SlideIT can't see that the text is selected for some reason...
In the new version of Slide it you CAN highlight words in sms text box.
I will post some screen shots:

That looks like the HTC Message word selection and not slideit selection, but I could be wrong. But that does not allow you to add or remove the word from SlideIT dictionary.
But despite that, how can you select a word without using the long press + cursor sliding thing in HTC Message?
sorry for slow reply, lost the thread.
1.Maybe you are right, can you reccomend a program to try it in?
2. To do the above, i press screen (on the word) and the box pops up with the options,
I can choose select, or select all. Then cut, copy or select all. Then paste...

1. You can use Pocket Notepad to test how SlideIT should work...
2. Ohhh sorry I didn't noticed that it says Select/Select all/Copy..... since it was not English tough it was some word correction... But on mine it shows some selection "arrows"...

This program is used to shrink the icons in the Programs explorer in Pocket PCs.
It's WM5 and WM2003 compatible.
Note: it only works once, until you change folder. So assign it to a hardware key.
Note: you must launch "programs" once before use; it will complain if you don't.

Works great on my Qtek9100
I'm using VJSmallIcons.exe 2
Post a screenshot!
V
Of course here it is :
Great work,
i have created a shortcut in the programs folder, because i dont want it to map to a hardware-button. i renamed the link to 1vjsmallicons.lnk to get in just pretty first in the list of programs.
If i enter the programs folder i press on the shortcut and the menu is small.
But two issues:
1. if i small the icons and wlak through the list of programs i get in the second column of the list. The first column disappears and there is no way to get back. I use a qtek 9100
2. If i call the programs folder again all the icons are just small. So as if it remembers to the first call (bug or feature). Furthermore i get to the column where i have left the program menu folder.
Topcaser, what command line are you using?
VJSmallIcons only changes the current explorer screen. It doesn't try to change any others, so when you go into a subfolder it will go back to normal. The small icons can be made more permanent, but it would require more programming that I haven't had time to do yet...
V
I am using no option, just calling the program via a link.
btw, how can i specify an option?? And what is the sense of this option 0-4
Is it the number of cols?
And what about the second issue: i can never scroll back to the first column, once it was gone. (also with the control panel not)
topcaser: the command line 0 to 4 will change the view style, in exactly the same way as you have on your PC: large icons, small icons, details, listview etc. Just try them out!
Not sure about the contrl panel issue? Could you try to send a screenshot? Use MagicSS if you don't already have a screenshot program.
V
Hi,
i have posted two pics: the first shows a blue mark over snap tool. At the second one i pressed the left button to get to the most left column again. But the screen does not follow this markation.
A second question: how am i able to specify the comand line option?
topcaser:
I don't have my phone with me today, I'll have a play with it a bit later. Are the pictures the wrong way round as you describe them? I can only see the blue selection mark in the second picture.
For the command line, read here

Yes you are right. My mistake. Sorry
Topcaser, using the settings shown in the screenshot, have you tried going up to the top, instead of left? It depends which command line option you're using, but try it just in case.
V
This dont works also.
Hi VJ,
i have played around with your tool. Command line option 2 and 1 works perfect. But the best way to use it is with command line option 3. Forget Small Menu - one can use only your little app (maybe together with Mortbutton and Mortscript) - it can do the same as SmallMenu. Together with MagicButton one misses no feature at all.
Unfortunately the command line option 3 has the bug which i described above. Have you fixed this already?
Topcaser, unfortunately if there's a bug in the view, I can't really fix it. I don't do anything other than change the view style of the "listview" control that the programs menu is based on. So it's very simple. But the programs menu is not designed to have its view changed, so if it's buggy, I can't help it very much. I'll try to have another look though, someone on brighthand was complaining about making the programs menu small, and I think it might be possible to make this program resident so that it kind of retains the settings.
But this is a small program, and others have to be fixed first I'm afraid. I will try to have another look.

ok..I've search all over the shop for this..and can't find it. I had previously thought it was in the text input settings screen...but it isn't
can anyone help me out?
thanks

yep, go to the settings tab of Sense and then to the adjustments (the one where you can change the background, tab order etc). At the end you will see Haptic feedback/vibration. Click on that one and untick. Ready
I have sense switched off..so I can't do it that way...I'm running MS 3.5.1
any other ideas?
thank you
been searching and seaching but not found it yet..
I'm more concerned about battery life of using the vibration motor everytime I'm pressing the screen. I hope the only option isn't to hard reset and go back to Sense (I've tried diabling MS and running sense but I can't get it to run)

Try settings - personal, then input. Then turn to touch input and in options you will find "vibrate when keys are pressed" box. Unclick it that should be it.
And go to settings, then personal, then touch flo and unclick the box.
This is it.

vibrate when keys are pressed
Check in phone advance settings, deselect vibrate when keys are pressed.
or
Turn off the vibration of the keyboard as folow:
1. start using the keyboard
2. click to the small icon next to the keyboard icon
3. Select Touch Input
4. Options...
5. Click to Options... on the Input Method (is not visible on the default keyboeard)
6. de-check "Vibrate when keys are pressed"
Hey - thanx for the explanation... I just turned off mine
sanchenzu thank you so much
Hello,
I did try all the above methods: everything is set to off (in settings tab of the Sense, in Advanced settings for Phone, etc) - still the keyboard is vibrating when used.
When using keyboard and pressing the small arrow to select the type of keyboard, I only have Phone, Compact and Full kbds; there is no Options menu, only Text Input Settings that takes me to the default Manila options tab for text input - but in this there is no vibration option (only Symbol lock, Typing sound, Spell correction, Word completion XT9 and Word completion ABC).
Any other idea?
+1 to above.
I have the same items in the menu.
I think it must be stored somewhere in the registry. I searched the registry for "Vibrate" string and the only place I could find one is:
HKLM\Software\OEM\KeyState but there are several values with "Vibrate" string and I don't know which one should I turned off. I don't want to mess anything...
Is there a way to make a shortcut or some button that will take me straight to the sms screen that i get when i press the "all messages" button, and the "inbox" one for email. The preview thing that you can flip through is neat and all, but not the best way to shoot off a quick sms. Running touch x-treme rom btw

Yes, in your start menu, there's icons for "messages" (not "messaging", that's different), and "e-mail"...you should be able to create shortlinks for those just like any other link that's in your start menu. I just tested it on mine and it worked fine. If you have multiple e-mail inboxes setup, clicking that link will first ask you which inbox you want it to take you to...but otherwise those both will bypass the pretty-but-useless Sense interface for those
Thanks for that, I got the email one, but for the life of me cant find the messages icon you mention, there is no mention of it in the start menu. I was gonna flash roms again tonight so i wont worry too much about it untill i find the one i like.
i was looking for this too, thanks!

Hmm, I'm guessing the ROM you are/were on just had a different msg client on it that didn't put that link in the start menu. I notice on my TP2 the icon with the same function is called "texts", so look for that maybe...?
If you look in the /windows folder on your phone, you'll probably find either "messages.lnk" or "texts.lnk" in there, copying whichever one you find to /windows/start menu will make it possible for you to then create a quicklink to it.

You do realize that when you are at the messaging screen that shows the fancy animation you can hit the button in the upper right to make a new message, without having to drill down into all messages and find the person
I like it when it shows me the different threads i have with different people, like it did on my g1, and i only have a few people at a time that im messaging so its not very hard to find the name i want.
Friends help me if possible,
In Desire Build V5 .... to select a portion of text, we have a selection method like iphone, that alowed to stretch and shrink, was better than iphone, because we can send it to google tradutor or even to twitter or email.
Now, in Froyo this method of selection dont work...we have one like WM....and is wast we just can copy!!
What i'm talking is what who can see here just after the 1 minute mark:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H30u4q3Omkc&feature=player_embedded
For exemple:
How did you select a portion of text to edit bold, italic or underline??
I give my centims to, who can, make the a phrase like mine up with Froyo Darkstone V1 in HD2
Is any option off? or is it a app, which?
if not, it's possible to port the method selection of Desire in Froyo??
or is anyone working on porting the magnifying glass from the latest desire rom?
we just have this in FROYO:
Select text
Figure 19: Select Text
This is an area where the iPhone was far better than the Eclair and unfortunately still is with Froyo. The gap though has decreased significantly.
With Froyo I can now select text from say an email and paste it somewhere else – even a different application. The Select Text option is hidden under the More menu button and once selected, it creates a small mouse pointer. That is the start of where it will start selecting (Figure 20).
I simply point to the top left area I want to copy from and drag my finger diagonally to end up at the bottom right of the area I want to select. This will select the text in a very appealing pink color and as soon as I lift my finger from the screen it will copy the text on the keyboard (Figure 21).
The technique on the iPhone is better but not by much – as I wrote the gap has decreased significantly. On the iPhone you have a magnifying glass where you can pinpoint exactly where you want to start copying (or inserting text – same functionality).
Figure 20: Mouse pointer
Again unfortunately this functionality (the one with the magnifying glass for selecting text) is patented by Apple Inc. and will not be seen on an Android based phone but I am sure that the Android developers will come up with something that will give us the same if not better user experience.

Usually, long-press is for selecting text, but on this Xperia it's popping up with a magnifying glass instead. Is there any way to turn this off?

I haven't found that to be the case. Usually long-press on Internet page selects text. You might be experiencing a function built in to a specific app...
Xichael talks about this. When you select text in your input there is a zoom.

Yes, mine is like that, but round. An easy place to try it is in Chrome's address bar.
EDIT: Actually, I get the rectangular one too. They seem to take over in any text input field.

It's not linked to an app. If you write a text somewhere and try to select it, the zoom will appear
Magnifier is useful for selecting special place for cursor on small screen. It's a feature on fields that can be edited/written in.
If you want to select a word, use double-tap.
I use Gboard's space bar swiping feature to reposition the cursor. Really hope there's a way to disable this. It makes selecting text inconsistent, and I truly have no need for it.
Settings > Accessibility > Magnification
Disable
I don't have that option. There's something called "magnification gesture", but it's already turned off.

Which version of Android are you using on your X Compact? Nougat has the magnification bubble when editing text but this seems to have been removed in Oreo.

Which phone is that? I only know of iPhones, Xperia's, Asus Zenfone and some early HTC phones having the magnification bubble to edit text. Shame more phones don't have it, it's very useful.
