What is this thing please !? - XPERIA X1 General

Hi all,
I have a Dot or a small Square on the top left of my screen !
What is it ? and how can I get rid of it ?
There was no program running in the task manager when I took the screenshot, see it in the attachment.

Soft reset get rid of it?

I have it too on Itje´s 6.5, i think it comes from the new panel manager.

I'm using Itje´s 4.5 rom, but I think I had it also in the original R2A UK rom.

I suspect it has got something to do with Finger Keyboard 2. I have the square too but only in landscape mode. See if you can get rid of the square by changing the SIP to some other keyboard.

I see you're using Gtrab's taskbar, perhaps that has something to do with it?

Remap F11 Key

There is no F11 key on the Shift, which is very annoying for full screen browser operation - can anybody suggest the best way to fix this please?
I use firefox, and there are several plugins for use with smaller screens, which shrink or remove the menus and give you an onscreen icon to switch to fullscreen.
More info on remapping keyboard layouts via the registry here -

Thanks, I use FF too, with LittleFox and FullerScreen addons. There is no on-screen button for full screen though as far as I can see?
Fullerscreen gives me a small icon at the bottom right of the browser window, which switches to full screen when clicked.

I understand your pain.. FF is so bad in full screen ... but there is a button in IE to go full screen without using the F11 key ! you just need to press "tools" and then "full screen" and it's ok ..isn't it ?

Yes that's true, but what about coming back from full screen?
Move the cursor to the bottom of the screen, the toolbar pops up again.

It's not that easy.
With my fingers I cannot get there. So I need the pen.
And even with the pen in the upper corner it does not always work nicely.
to get back
Realize that, with such a small screen, you continuously switch from full to normal IE screen.
F10 would be great for me.

you know... when I will have the shift .. I will keep IE in full screen and use alt+tab (or flip 3D) to switch between windows.. and never come back to non-full screen.
why do you need to come back in normal screen ? alt-tab and flip3D are not enough ?

Maybe that's not such a bad idea at all.
You know. Working with normal screens, I am not so much used to shortcuts. I use to click the toolbar down there to select other things.
And now... Alt Tab...
You know something. I have about 30 years of computer experience, and never thought about it.
You are never too old.....
And in the future somebody will come up with some solutions when the keyboard is closed.

yeah I understand !!!! you know , the shift's mouse is like the mouse on my first computer (20 years ago) which had a trackball on the right side of the notebook. the trackball can be detached.
keyconfig firefox addon allows you to remap any keyboard shorcut. I use it to change Full screen to F9 instead of F11.

even worse.... I use this one http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/
So I also can use it with IE.
And I also solve my eternal capslock problem by mapping the CapsLock to Left Shift.
And the tab key is my F11 now.

Isn't that a system wide function on the iphone? Since upgrading to a Leo from a touch pro 2, I've decided its a necessity due to the inherent lack of accuracy of capacitive screens compared to pressure sensitive screens with a stylus.
Does android have it? Does anyone know if any work is being done to bring a system-wide magnifier to WM 6.1 or 6.5?

Keyboard in the way!?

You can always bring it up by pressing the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen. How can you remove it though ?
All Apps handle the keyboard differently. Only a very few let you press the keyboard button again to remove it. Some let you scroll the App underneath. Some don't let you do anything.
A good example is Windows Explorer. Have a play and see what I mean.
Am I missing something, is there a solution ?
hey hesian, sorry but i dont have a solution but am in agreement with you on this. my example is while using opera the keboard icon remains and blocks out the "tabs" icon when in portrait. hope someone may know this one.
my phone is HD2 with lynx-ex 1.4.1 rom.
thanks
Can't believe nobody else has an issue with the keyboard ???

could someone put up pictures of swype on streak in both portrait and landscape?

lack of a trackball or anything on streak can be a real pain if you make a mistake tho.... could do with a keyboard with arrow keys.
thanks dude
In my review
I posted some keyboard comparison pictures.
I can't post any links but it's the most recent post on YourTechMinds . com

Nice one lufc, I couldn't work it out on the Dell but knew how to do it on the HD2
Does anyone know why the when using swype in landscape mode, the text area becomes massive, shifting previous texts off screen....there's about 8 or 9 lines available and almost the whole length of the screen....is there anyway to reduce this box so it expands when filled like in portrait mode?
Thanks
