How can I close the virtual keyboard? On my N1 I could just hold the menu key and it would close. Doesn't work on the G2.
Mine goes away when I tap the text box or press the "back" button
I was wondering the same thing. I miss long pressing menu to open and close keyboard

Nice. Back is working for me. I thought I tried that. I had found tapping the text box but it doesn't work in every case.

Hi
on my htchd2 its on the phone type key board, how do i put it back to the qwerty key board..
regards

If you keep the keyboard-button pressed you should get a menu where you can choose. So far I haven't really figured out why, but in 8 out of 10 trys it doesn't work, so you just have to keep trying. If you have Total Commander installed then do it in that program, in there I get the menu almost every time...
No, you don't press on the keyboard but the small arrow on the right-hand side of the keyboard icon. That will show all available onscreen keyboards
Hello
The QWERTY keyboard has a 'minimise' button to make the keyboard dissappear. The 'Phone Pad' does not... anyone know why, and whether there's any way of acheiving the same result...?
Thanks
When I used to use the HTC_IME mod keyboard on my hero, it didn't have the button to get rid of the keyboard either, but you could use the back key to get rid of it. Maybe this will work?
I have it on my phone ?
Where is it you don`t have it ?
I've used 3 different types of keyboards and finally settled on SlideIT and holding the "Menu" button usually minimizes the keyboard.
Press the back arrow key to minimise the phone keypad
Spock with the 'back' button is that, in some apps (such as Android Market), it takes you back to the previous page rather than just minimizing the keyboard. A small but annoying fault...
I like the Phone Keypad but it doesn't always offer T9. I don't understand why it's available in Messaging but not in the browser. I don't get it.
First post after having my DX an entire week, trying to find what I can without being too noob but can't seem to find a solution to this.
I tend to type 99% of the time in landscape and seeing how the keyboard takes up 90% of the screen, I often can't see what fields I'm entering for the text. The keyboard automatically opens when attempting to input and assumed if I pressed outside of a text field, it would close the keyboard but no go.. Is there anyway to close the keyboard, even if it's just to scroll on whatever page I'm on to see what else is there then come back to the keyboard when I'm ready by clicking within the text area?
That probably made no sense but hopefully you get the jist of it. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: The back button seemed to work, disregard.
You can also swype from the top of the keyboard to the bottom and it will minimize.

Also you can press/hold the menu button to close. You can also do this to raise the keyboard at any time.
I did a bunch of searches to see if this topic has been brough up before and I couldn't find anything, but if I just missed it then I apologize.
I am wondering if there are any keyboard shortcuts available while using the "Mobile View" via the laptop dock. For example, I have text messaging open, I type a text message and I would like to use a keyboard shortcut to send the text message rather than having to click send.
TIA!
Blax.
Try Control-Enter. That works in Handcent at least.
No luck, the control key seems to be the same as hitting the "menu" button on the device.
Not sure how the laptop dock has the keys mapped, but you should be able to remap the Control key to send 0x25 (left) or 0x6d (right) using xev (to figure out the default keycode of that key) and xmodmap (to remap it to send those keycodes). Maybe try Alt-Enter?
Press Tab until Send illuminates in orange, then press Enter. It only works half the time though for some reason. Hope this half-way helps!
i noticed this problem since the last update...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Alright, FOR SURE how to do it is when you get to the end of your text message, press the right arrow and it will highlight send. It works every time, unlike pressing Tab.
Accidentally found out that while in an app that has fields, pressing and holding the menu button brings up the keyboard - whether you are in a editable field or not.
For example, click Search button, and press Back to hide the keyboard. Now without pressing the address bar, press and hold the menu key - keyboard pops up.
This has been present in froyo too
oops!

This is present in every android phone that does not feature a hardware keyboard.
