Hey guys, I just got my S2 yesterday and I upgraded from the Galaxy S.
My issue is Swype. I don't know if I'm the only one or if everyone has the same thing but on my Swype on the bottom row it has the following functions;
Tips, 123SYM, EN, -, , Space, full stop, record and enter.
The thing that is driving me nuts is the EN option because I have turned off all other languages but English and the button is still there which makes the whole bottom row more squashed. Does anyone else have this function there as well or is it just me?

No, it's not just you. Same here.

I have found that if I have hit the little blue square (for function) and then hit a wrong key (say I hit Fn + ? and I get # but I wanted the number 9) so I hit backspace...it deletes instead as if the Fn button was still active, and will keep doing so until you hit any other key which will type normally, and then backspace will work again. Not the end of the world but happens to me often enough to be annoying!

Hrm, I haven't experienced this bug myself, but are you sure you didn't accidently hit the Fn key twice, putting it in Fn-Lock mode? It works the same way as the Shift key.
hello
i have the same problem it does happen very often
I have the swedish version and I can't reproduce this bug.
Which ROM do you have?
Yes, backspace / delete bug
Yes, I have exactly this problem as well.
I have X1i, UK version.
ROM: 1.02.931.3 (08/29/08)
I presume this is the latest ROM as well, as I've run the Sony tool to try and fix this problem.
As a note, I do have CE Star installed (chinese display). And I've also tried playing with the Glyph settings, no change to this problem.
Anyone have any idea how to solve it?
As an interesting note, in PocketPutty (the SSH client) backspace and space do not work... I'm wondering if this is a related problem. But maybe not.
Hope that helps.
I have a swedish X1 and something like this bug happening.
I can't say if it's exactly the same thing but sometimes the backspace becomes delete instead and I have to push some other keys to get it back to normal.
I called SE about it and some other things today. He said they didn't have any reports of it before but he would forward my report.
I've experienced this as well. Annoying. But what's even more annoying is the bug that throws around the Swedish letters ÅÄÖ when typing text messages...
This is still affecting me, according to the Sony update program I also have the latest firmware.
Anyone have any idea on this or a workaround? It is VERY annoying.
I had this problem on my TyTN II.
The FN key is a bit longer active after pressing a button.
I havn't withnised this problem on the xperia.
Xperia keyboard is fast. But mayb it's cause i'm on custom ROM.
Same problem here guys!
i've got the X1i dutch version
rom 1.03.937.6
software version R2AA006
hope a new update will help! can't wait to get rid of it!
hey guys,
not sure if this has something to do with it...but i just deleted some htc keyboards i had installed and no problems in the first 3texts... let you know if it stays that way! maybe someone else has these keyboards installed??
hope it helps...
Hi there just wondering if anyone had/has this problem and knows how to fix it. Basically when i go to reply to a text message by clicking on it (from inside TouchFlo) the keyboard appears, then dissapears. When i click on the box to type, the keyboard comes up, then jumps back down. I have to press the 'Keyboard' button when the keyboard is down (to bring it up) then type somthing (which doesn't appear) and then press space...to even start typing anything. It's really odd, i've tried re-flashing both stock and a few other ROM's...same wierd problem...anyone?
THANKS!
I also have the same problem. If i double tap a message from within touchflo there is no problem but if i tap it once i have the keyboard problem. It has been bugging me for a while as well! Although it's not major, if anyone has a fix it would be much appreciated.
haha it's really annoying the double clicking things doesnt work for me...anyone got a fix? also what rom are you running? thanks
Deleted....
talking to some of my friends, i've realised that this happens on general windows mobile, not just this phone, therefore i will re-post in order to gain more publicity. Thanks
Fortunately for me, everything is working fine, as in the manuals, even after using this set for over a year now. When I click "reply" from within TF, it automatically gives a text/message typing area and a keyboard area at the bottom half which stays there. I can drop the keyboard down (and up) by tapping (once) the keyboard icon at the bottom centre. no problem.
ha! it's lucky for some! What ROM are you using? Thanks

hey
i installed finger keyboard
and it really is very nice
but sometimes i have a problem with
sometimes when i want to write a message or bring up the keyboard to scroll with the direction it doesn't appear and seems to be stuck
and then i have to rebbot the phone for it to work
any thoughts , solutions ?
Hello,
If you are having this problem in particular when you are writing SMS then it might well be linked to the SMS problem already talked about exhaustively on here. There is a partial solution for this in the Hints & Tips thread.
If it's not that then it might just be worth your while reinstalling finger keyboard and see if that helps. Another alternative might be to install the Swype keyboard (works well on my device) and see if that solves the problem.
Work through this step by step and see if any of the suggestions help.
Cheers
WB
well it's not just in the SMS
it also happened in the file browser when i wanted to scroll down with keyboard keys
i did reinstall it , so it seems it didn't help
as for the swipe keyboard
that's a problem since i need hebrew in my keyboard
btw an unrelated question
i saw in the tips thread that many times you need to change the registry keys
how do i do that in this device ?
thanks
I had problems typing the good letters on the keyboard. Always a bit out of line it seemd. Then i Aligned my screen again, and now its working much better. Maybe give it a try, it improved my typingspeed.

How do you align your screen?
Also, I keep reading threads about different keyboards, is that just down to personal preference or do some really work better than others? I've not had a problem with the one that's already on the HD2 to be honest,
Look here
settingstab, then push menu , extra`s(more), system, screen.
There you can align your screen by pushing 5 positions on your screen

i don't actually have problems with the typing part
i'll try to explain
when you go to the sms section or filer browser you can see the finger keyboard logo in middle-bottom of the screen
and if you want to use it , you press that logo\button and the keyboard comes up
well sometimes no matter how much time you press ( or where )
it doesn't come up
Ok , a different problem.
A litle thing i sometimes try.
Because the screen is capacitive, when i don`t get a knob to work i wet my finger a litle bit. My skin is normaly dry. When it is "wetter" is seems to react better.
There is a thread about the keyboards sensitivity that could solve that issue.
After BSBTweaks 1.6 i don`t have problems.
With sms install the latest htc patch, it speeds up things in sms, where it looks the screen doesnt react but`it was the progres in the background stil runnning...
Just try, doesn`t cos anything

sorry for the late response
right now everything seems to be ok , the keyboard works fine
i did find some other problem in it though
i have 2 languages in it : hebrew and english
now when i press the lng button it does switch between the 2 of them
however it doesnt switch to digits
if i go to the finger settings and switch the lng button from nextlayout/digits to digits/nextlayout then when i press lng button it switches from one of the languages to digits but not to the second language

Not that one.
I've got a different one, that's, when switching to the second language, the vertical space between rows increases, and the half bottom part of the lower character row dissapears. Using Eng and Spa.
It's just me?
Regards.
Has anyone else been typing a message with the QWERTY keyboard and seen the predictive text suggesting some really hokey options? My MT4G seems to get in modes where I type "yes" and it's default suggestion is "yesmuffgluten" or something ridonkulous. I checked my saved dictionary, and it's clean and tight, but when it gets in this mode, most every suggestion is wrong, even for the simpliest of words. I end up re-booting or something and I think it goes away, but it sucks...anyone else seen this?
Bump. Anyone?
Does that to me too. It's because you probably pressed the ES button to the left of the space bar on the Touch Input keyboard. Press it again to get EN for ENGLISH.
Hope this helps.

Pretty sure that was it ..... Thanks!!
(Would have posted in vanilla's thread, but I don't have permission to do so)
I have played with two CM7 ROMs.. the one that's been floating around for a while, and now vanillaLVL's.
In both, you can see the on-screen keyboard just below the list of suggested words.
To recreate
- Open Messaging and create a new SMS message
- Tap in the message box
- You'll see the OSK just below the suggestions. More precisely, you can see the bottom row of buttons.. like the ?123 and the Tab arrow
This isn't a big deal, just a little annoying. Is there a fix out there for this?
YES! Exactly! Somebody help with this problem. Personally, I'm annoyed when the keyboard comes out from the bottom of the screen.
Sorry for my english.

I have installed Swiftkey Flow and that bug isn-t there anymore, however, the problem now is that, whenever i want to use the physical keyboard, Swiftkey also appears taking more than half of the screen size :\
Would like to know if there-s a fix for this so Android keyboard doesn't appear when in portrait mode.
