So I'm running the Mikshifted G rom v1.1 and the only problem I have is that when I try to use the physical keyboard random apps will pop up. For instance, I'll press the 'e' key and a browser pops up or something. I guess it's mapped to some quick key or rather, I don't really know. It also seems to decide when to do this. So is there a setting anywhere or a way to just make it stop? I find it a nuisance as I don't really need some kind of quick key setting thingamajig.
You should ask this in that thread so they can answer you a little quicker. But I would try rebooting first then if that didn't work boot into recovery and wipe the dalvik cache.

Try hitting the magnifing glass button on the bottom row. I had this issue pop up randomly too when I had some other keyboards installed, or when id hit it by accident, used to kill me, now I know how to fix it

You might have some settings left over from your previous setup, if you didn't do a full wipe. You can go to menu-settings-applications-quick launch, and see if there are any shortcuts setup. What they are and clear or change them. Next time try askin in the thread for a quicker response.
Thanks for your help guys, I really appreciate the info. And I'll make sure to post any future questions in the appropriate threads.
No big. Just trying to make it so you get help resolving your issue quicker.
I had the same problem.. I called sprint and they didn't know so the only way I could fix it is thaking the baterry out

It seems to always bring up a menu of words to guess when I use it. I don't have predictive text enabled, so could anyone help me out ?
Bump, or is there no way to do this?
Swype setting word choice to never show
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I thougt it was annoying too at first, but after I got used to it, it made sense. If it has the correct word, you just keep swyping. If it's wrong it's a simple press to correct. If it's completely wrong, press back and re-swype the word. Then again, I am a horrible swyper, so that may be why I need all the help I can get.
Does anybody else hate it when you press the fn key and try to correct something by pressing backspace and the whole message gets deleted? Any way to turn that feature off? It has happened to me way too many times now.
You might be able to edit the keyboard mappings to do this, but I don't have any experience in that area.
I just have gotten into the habit of holding modifier keys instead of tapping before the next key.
Sorry your a step ahead of me...... I have been wondering why my message gets wiped every so often..... must be the fn thing...... I thought i was going crazy

sometimes you are typing fast and then you try to add a question mark or something. you make a mistake and it still has that FN command blinking and you don't notice...you press backspace and bye bye to your whole message.
While were talking about keyboard issues here (since I couldn't really find another place to ask) does anyone know how to "select all" which would normally be ctrl + A, for the epic. I was using gmail and wanted to delete "all" my spam mail at once instead of one by one. I know it something I did on my N900 easily due to the physical keyboard but after reading through the keyboard shortcuts from Cnet I didn't see this particular shortcut listed.

I believe I just push down on the screen for 3 seconds and select "select all"

Happens to me at least once a day. Would love to see it go. : )
Sent from my SPH-D700
Thanks for replying, I tried to long press on the screen in gmail but it only selects the the email I tap and when I long press the actual label for spam it doesn't do anything. I guess regular pc keyboard shortcuts aren't available with the keyboard on the epic, which is unfortunate... I love the keyboard though.

fn backspace
Any one have any news on this issue, regarding turning off the FN+backspace = erasing an entire line?
It happens to me AT LEAST once a week, but it's gotten old really fast. I agree with several users...it's just a function I don't need and end up accidentally deleting lines as a result. If I could just turn it off, I'd be MUCH happier than wishing it was there since I never use it.
Whether it's a setting or even an app or add-on that can help I'd appreciate it.
As much as I love the Epic overall, and I may well be in the minority on this one, but even months into owning it the biggest thing that screws me up continually coming from my previous keyboard phone is the placement of the Fn key to begin with. If I had designed this phone, the Fn and Shift keys would be interchanged position wise with the Fn key the one in the very bottom left corner.
It happened to me with droidx multitouch kb installed

Unfortunately, the lcd of my unrooted Desire Z device recently broke. The touchscreen is working though. Before I send the device in for repair, I'd like to back up my data (contacts, sms..) via ADB. However, USB-debugging mode is not enabled on my device.
I know where to find the option, but it's difficult to get there without seeing anything on the screen.
Could someone please post a couple of screenshots of all the steps to take, in such a way that I can determine the right place to press the screen to enable USB-debugging mode?
Any other suggestions to tackle this issue and back-up my data are of course also welcome.
Thanks in advance.
would help to know what rom you're on.
if you're aosp, let me know and I'll get you some screenies.
Unrooted desire z is prob sense. Also perhaps using the track pad would be a better idea?

oh. I conveniently ignored the "unrooted" part, hehe. I'm of no use then because I don't know my way around sense roms.
Yep, it's sense indeed. It has an unbranded stock rom.
Using the track pad is possible as well, but then I still need to know the exact presses I have to make. Besides it's easy to move a step too far with the trackpad.
Someone?
dont know if QtADB works with unrooted phone but give it a go.

I believe it does, however, USB-debugging mode needs to be turned on for that as well, which it currently isn't. I'm still hoping someone can post a couple of screenshots or describe the trackpad moves to make to enable USB debugging mode. I think it should be under settings > applications > development > USB-debugging..
Anyone?
I will post up some pictures or a video of where to press on my brother's stock DHD. I would use my own, but I have an AOSP rom installed so that would be of no use. I'll have it up in the next hour or so.
EDIT: Here are the shots.
1) Press the "Menu" key on any homescreen to bring up the menu you see on the first shot. Hit "Settings". This is the easy part.
2) From here, there's going to be alot of guesswork and luck. Scroll all the way down. From there, the "Applications" option is the 7th from the bottom. Each option is probably about 3/4" in height. Use that to approximate.
3) Hit Development, about 1/3 the way down the screen
4) If you've made it all the way here, then hit the top check to enable USB Debugging.
Hope this helps.
I have a crack on my G2 as well, I'm not really looking to send mine in though...
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but anyone know where I can grab some OEM LCD Screens? I suppose ebay eh?
it should be easy to unlock screen, just drag down
press menu key> photo 1
drag down to the bottom> photo 2> photo 3> photo 4
then press screen like the position at photo 5
This just started happening today....when I start typing in any app (falcon pro, whatsapp, txt or email), after the 1st couple of letters it goes right back to the home screen and I have to go back to the app and continue typing.
Is this happening to anyone?
Its getting annoying real quickly.
I have rebooted and changed to the google keyboard and it still happens.
Help!!
Happens to me sometimes when i type fast......but i found out that its my fingers hitting the home button when i press space. Your phone is fine. You just need to get adjusted to the keyboard. You might want to download and use Googles keyboard instead of LGs, if you havent alrrady done so. Im more familiar with Googles layout....perhaps you are as well
Edit: sorry, didnt notice that you are using googles keyboard already
Try this....while you type, follow your fingers instead of looking at the screen....im 90% sure you are hitting the home button like i do

+1 your phone is fine, your hitting the home button, I've done it a half dozen times today. you can re map your soft keys that may help.
yeah i hit the home button all the time instead of space lol oops
I searched XDA and Google like crazy before finally deciding to post this thread. I can find things that seem similar, but not at the same time. If I missed something, please point me in the right direction..
Most of what I'm reading recommends a different launcher to help with the lag of the stock launcher. I do not have an issue with a laggy stock launcher. Instead I'm having issues with EVERY other launcher I have tried, and believe me I'm pretty sure I've almost tried all of them.
After a few minutes of playing around on my G2, when I hit the home button, or just back all the way out to it, my home screen seems to jump around and my wallpaper appears to resize itself a few times. The soft keys will appear, disappear, and reappear again causing the whole screen to make a kind of up/down shuffle. It also does this when turning on the screen.
It's more annoying than an actual problem, I could just stick with the stock launcher, but I'm not a fan of the icons/folders. I'm not sure if this is the home screen redraw I keep seeing people talk about or what. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Right now I'm using Apex and have it set to stay in memory. Thought that might help, but no.
