I have no idea what I did, but I managed to hit some combo of keys that have made the 'type to compose' box in both email and text messages take up the entire screen in landscape mode.
I can't figure out at all how to make it smaller and it's starting to drive me around the bend not being able to see either the text message history or the content of the email I'm replying to let alone it now taking up the entire screen when i try to fill in a form in the browser.
I've tried switching to a diff keyboard, uninstalling thumbkeyboard which I also have installed, rebooting, turning the phone three times in a clockwise direction and shaking it really hard. In short, help!

Hi, this is a really stupid little problem but it's really annoying as it happens everyday:
In portrait mode, I go to my calender and click Menu -> New Appointment with the soft keys, and then it opens and the cursor is flashing in the subject field. However, as it's doing that, I like to flip it into landscape mode so I can type the subject quickly.
My problem is that 5 seconds after I flip it into landscape mode, it decides that I've finished with that field and stops letting me type. It's really annoying as I'll be a few characters into writing the subject, when the cursor disappears. I then am forced to pull out my stylus and click the subject field, or use my finger.
Any idea how I can solve this, besides opening in landscape mode before I do Menu -> New Appointment?
Thanks
I have noticed the same issue, and I think it's a bug.
You can tab and back tab to get to the field without using the stylus, that's one way to overcome it, the other of course is to remember to switch before entering any data.

If I am in the text messaging screen in landscape mode, and close the phone into portrait mode, the screen does not completely rotate.
The top portion of the screen switches, and the bottom menu bar switches, but there is a section about 1/3 the size of the screen that remains in landscape mode until I close the text message program.
It only does it in texting, no other programs cause this problem with the screen, and it has only started doing it since I hard reset the phone.
Any help??
Yeah, texting does some strange stuff for me too. Sometimes when I push the button to select the contact i want to text it takes quite awhile for it to bring up the texting screen. And yes, same as you on the switching from landscape.
hmm.... That's wierd. I cant seem to find anything else relating to this problem
i am having the same problem also.. but recently it stopped.. idk wuts going on?
well, i figured out what the problem was with mine. It was doing it because I hacked the registry for the SIP to completely kill the pop-up keyboard. After re-enabling it, no more screen issue.
I guess the question has come up already a dozen of times, but I wasn't able to find any relevant previous threads so here it goes...
I've read several times already it is impossible to add window animations to WM (6.5) .
However, when I open an email from the default MS email app that comes on my HTC Touch2 with default ROM, it clearly fades to the new email window. Even the closing "X" in the top right corner fades to an "ok" icon.
How is this possible?
Also, this app: (CRT fade out Animation)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843480
clearly applies effects to the screen image.
Someone please clear things out :/
It is possible quite easily, if you know where to search. I'd go on this with the same way I did my pinch to zoom project some time ago - hacking the app's WndProc and when message for eg swipe gesture to change message comes, grab screen content, fade it, send the message through, fade in and all other messages meanwhile just normally send through.
But remember, this takes a lot of code and it is not worth it, it would just slow down the WM itself.
Thanks, a lot, for replying.
I really want to look into this for some reason. So if you say it's possible...
I was also wondering if it's possible to catch all windows' close events...
Hey guys, I've searched around for some answers to this but couldn't find any
Problem 1:
I can't send texts larger than 1 message (160 characters). Well, I can send them, but nobody receives them. I even tried sending them to myself but they never came through. I can receive them however? It's really annoying having to copy and paste parts of the message into separate messages. Any idea on a fix?
Problem 2: If I open out the keyboard, the display will shift horizontally (as it should), with the bottom menu (Apps-Phone-Personalize) bar shifting along with it. However, when I close the keyboard, everything shifts back vertically, except for the Apps-Phone-Personalize bar. It just stays on the side and gets in the way of things. Strange.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, my phone keeps randomly turning off for no reason. Even if the batts charged. Could this be because of the rom?

these problems are common.
1) use RMK's RIL matcher, it worked for me
2) this is becuase its for DHD and they dont have native rotating. you can try search for the rotating rosie, but you may lose the theming.
So randomly, but only a couple of times a day or every other day, ims.services stops working, also everytime I try to place a phone call, ims.services stops working, and the call automatically ends and goes to the screen right after a call that has the call back button on the left, view contact up above, the text message button on the right and video call in the center. If I click on the call back button then the call will go through. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for solving that issue?
The second issue, the keyboard one is as follows. I use SwiftKey 3,and ONLY when I'm typing in Chrome, the text prediction will not show an entire word, it only shows the letter I had just typed, and at the end of every word when I press the space bar (pressing the space bar automatically selects the center word prediction) it will add a second of the same letter to the end. For example, the word, "world" would be, "worldd". Now this ONLY occurs when I'm using Chrome. Does anyone have any solutions, or suggestions for this one as well?
Thank you everyone ahead of time, you all are awesome and always so extremely helpful.

You did not say whether you are rooted or unrootted, and if the latter if you are on a custom ROM (assuming you are not).
If you are on stock OEM and have not updated it recently, that would fix it - as it overwrites the entire ROM and would clear this up. Whichever firmware/ROM version you are on, you could ODIN the AP module and that would also write over your problem.
As for Chrome - I don't use it.
