Physical Keyboard ? - G1 General

When I use the Physical Keyboard it randomly inserts periods. I'm running the latest build of Cyanogen but it's been doing it on older donut builds...thoughts?

It's meant to add a space when you press the space bar twice. Go to Settings > Locale and text > Device keyboard and uncheck auto-punctuate.
If it's not that then it could be an issue with the HTC IME activating when it's not meant to.

Really, in a stock ROM That's what I'm running...
Is there no personalize option on your settings tab, or no vibration option in the personalize screen...?

Ok this one is gonna drive me batty until I figure it out
(Pardon the questions, just want to be sure)...Are we talking about the same thing, the "Settings" tab in Sense, not the "all settings" screen (the WM settings group that looks like the start menu)..?
And, when you're on the settings tab, are you sure you're scrolled all the way to the top of that list?
How in the world does my stock ROM have it there, and yours doesn't??
MINE DOES

I am running the Stock ROM as well and it is exactly as you stated sirphunkee! These guys must be a little confused. That is the first thing I stopped. It saved a lot on battery life.
HERE IT IS AGAIN. START/SETTINGS/PERSONALIZE/VIBRATION!
If I knew how to track registry changes in real-time, I'd just change the setting and see what change gets made as a result. But, I don't

Hit the keyboard so swype comes up.... Hit the "SYM" Key, then hit the shift key/the arrow pointing up/then hit OPT then you will see it listed and uncheck! BINGO!

Sir Phunk have you seen anything on the boards about disabling or turning off vibration during call waiting? I'm running Core Cell V3 ROM and when you are in a call and get another the handset vibrates which 1.) Isn't pleasant to your ear, 2.) Whoever you are talking to can hear it really loud. Figured you might now, thanks ahead of time...
Nevermind, found it on the boards
I have another question related to vibration on the HD2. This has been asked before, in another thread, but has anybody found a solution to the stuck vibration issue? I usually get it from time to time through e-mail notification vibration. It will vibrate in pulses 3 times. On the third time it will hang until I press a hard button. This is very annoying, and I have disabled the notification vibrate for now.

[Solved] how to disable the vibrate on Android 2.2

I am using FroyoStone Sense V2 build - this build is using Android 2.2 with sense and it is brilliant on my HD2. I have set it up and am quite happy with it one thing I had trouble doing is disabling the vibrate on the dial pad - I have now found out how to diable the vibrate on the dial pad but it is a bit of a cheat way doing it.
I just downloaded NubDial from market place and it seems to sort the problem. It is free and has a nice simple black keyboard. It is fully intragrated into the address book and when you select the phone button it will prompt which dialer to use, simply select the nubdial and select the option to make as default!
If the vibrate is enabled in this dial pad simply click on windows key for settings and then go to Settings -> uncheck Enable haptic feedback! works a treet

I have managed to do it on the keyboard but cant seem to find a setting for the dial pad its self.
Does any body know how to turn this off, or is there a .apk I can download to turn this off?

settings --------------> Sounds---------->haptic feedback
Don't think you can. If you go to settings, sound, there's an option to turn of haptic feedback in applications IIRC. Not sure if that would work though...
***Edit*** Tested it, doesn't work!
I searched all over the web, it seems you can't disable dial pad haptic feedback, in a mean time I use third party dial pad.

For those who have not solved this. On your 'phone' dial pad screen, click windows button, Preferences and some where in the middle you will see "Enable Haptic Feedback" check or on check, whatever your preference is and this will take care of Haptic feedback when you dial.

In sense version, on phone dial pad screen, click windows button, then phone settings, it only have edit default message, edit message, save to contact, there is nothing about haptic feedback
In vanilla version, on phone dial pad screen, in phone tab, windows key won't work, call log, contacts, favorites tabs windows key works, but there still is nothing about haptic feedback,
Im just wondering what dial pad you have.
This may have been an android 2.1 version, I think you were able to disable it there. Use the NubDial it is a nice simple dial pad free to download from market place!
If the vibrate is enabled in this dial pad simply click on windows key for settings and then go to Settings -> uncheck Enable haptic feedback! works a treet
I want to disable haptic feed back on my keyboard too, not just my phone dialpad. Turning it off in the phone settings doesn't do anything. I'm using FroyoStone_Sense_V3.1. Has anyone found a solution?

This does not work on all versions of android. I have tried on some versions and this option is not availabe. Seems to be versions with sense enabled like the desire builds. Ones with out sense has this option. EG nesus one builds.

[Q] Physical keyboard is stuck in "shorcut mode"

Problem: I can't use physical keyboard In my SMS prog (go sms), instead the shortcuts come up:
b - browser
s - sms program
e - email
g - gmail
etc.....
When did this start happening:
1. I updated from cm7 RC1 to RC2
2. Flashed Vivid theme from Sonny (Think thats what his name is)
Usually, if I restart the phone, the keys will work, but after a couple hours, it'll go back to shortcuts. Is there a way to disable shortcuts entirely, I never use them? Any advice how to fix my prob?
This happened to me as well, all you have to do is apply shortcuts to the quickkeys at the bottom of the hardware keyboard and you're set

Should be stated that this can be done via CM Settings > Input > Quick key 1/2/3
Clearing all of the shortcuts fixes the problem for me
Settings > Applications > Quick Launch > LONG PRESS to clear
^^Actually, this is the best thing to do.

[Q] Is there a way to force a menu to appear?

I have several apps which work fine on phone.
They also run on the tablet - BUT there is no menu icon, neither at the bottom next to the 3 standard ones, nor is there a menu icon in the upper right corner. There is no menu icon.
So I wonder if someone has a trick to send a "menu pressed" signal to the app so i can access the settings.
I know i know, tell them to update their apps, but some people have left and others will take years to fix that if ever -
So i thought perhaps there was some sort of shortcut or perhaps hack which could make a menu appear? You know like you can record keypresses on a PC and then play them back.
The soft menu button on the screen works fine for me, its the 4th icon (Series of lines, top one one is longest) - same goes for the menu button that's on the keyboard.

Yes..
It also works for me when they are there. But they are NOT THERE for the apps in question.
I think you got this backwards,
The menu button will only appear if the app has a settings menu.
Majority of the Honeycomb optimized apps do not have a menu button because there either isn't no menu for that app or they have moved the menu button to the action bar on the top right, which is the new standard
The settings button is primarily used for backwards compatibility with older apps. This is why developers are removing the menu buttonwhen they optimize their app.

Some apps on the phone will scale differently on a tab, if you used the menu button n your phone doesn't necessarily mean the tablet version will need a hard menu button.
As I said before, if there is no menu button the bottom nav bar, it would be on the top right corner of the action bar. Older phone apps should show up a menu button automatically anyway. The only reason if there isnt one is that the developer chose so because they added one on the action bar.

The only option is to contact the dev and say the menu button is disabled.

[Q] greek keyboard change

I have both Greek and English selected on my Note 3 but I can't switch between the two at all. Swiping the spacebar does nothing and there's no globe button. The only way I can use the Greek keyboard is if Greek is the only input language selected. Then to switch back to English, I'll have to uncheck Greek and check English again. If both are selected, only English is shown on my keyboard..... I can't find a way to switch between them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I had the same situation and the reason was the greenify when you enable it says something about notification settings change and then the space bar switch between the two language dissappear! If you remove the greenify and reboot then everything is OK. I hope I helped you....

What firmware are you on? Are you rooted?
Here is how the Samsung keyboard looks for me inside the Samsung SMS app on firmware MJ7 (4.3) + the hack to enable extended symbols. In the Samsung keyboard there seems to no longer be an option to switch languages when you swipe over space (and I also use swiping as input method) but you can see a small button in the bottom-left (just to the right of the SYM key) and when you short-press on that I switch languages. The "swipe over space" option is still present in other keyboards and might be even a hidden option for the Samsung keyboard (but you might need root).

The only other idea that I have is to long-press on space. And eventually on the button that is two places left from space - after a long-press you might get to see a list and the button like a globe is the one that switches between languages.
Also check what other version you have on English and Greek after the > sign in settings - that part is not present in my firmware so extra settings might be there.
Also the language availability might depend on the app itself - so also do a test in the Samsung default SMS app.
