Manual keyboard?? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi this is a repost, ( I tried posting this in the general android Q&A, but got no answers ) So here this is again. I tried searching for similar questions to this, but didnt find anything, so thats why i wanted to make a new post. So I was trying to play different kinds of games on the web, for example, flash games, but (maybe as you could have guessed), I couldnt bring up the keyboard for the input box. So, my question was, if there was anyway to bring up the android keyboard manually, (or forcefully) to be able to type in the box?? Oh and Im trying to find a solution for this problem doing all this on my Nexus 4 with jelly bean 4.2.2

[Q] Google Docs (Drive) on N7

I'm curious to see how the Google Docs (Drive) app looks on this device.
So far I've been less than impressed with editing spreadsheets via Google Docs on my Android device so far...
Anyone seen any videos of this? YouTube searches turned up nothing.
Thanks!
I hate editing Google Drive spreadsheets on my SGS2. It feels so primitive and lags very often. This is definitely an issue that I hope does not persist in Jelly Bean on the N7.

I see my thread is in the Q&A section, so I guess a 'Thanks' is owed for moving it... If you didn't move it, well then, it was already in the Q&A section ...
Here is a screenshot of the Google Drive UI editing a doc

Works ok with bluetooth keyboard!
For me, it sucks. The desktop view through Drive is better though. But really...what can we expect from a spreadsheet on a mobile device?

This might be the wrong section but I put a few videos on my google drive and tried playing them on my N7 and I get an error message. Anybody know how I can fix this or can't it be fixed? Thanks

" you are now a developer". Has this always happened with nexus devices????

So while goofing around with my phone tonight... I tapped the 4.2 several times to show the jelly bean, nerdy I know... But I then taped the build number several times on the bottom and it have me a tap countdown until the message " you are now a developer" displayed? I didn't know anything about that and again it may be normal but if anyone could comment or if anyone knows does it do anything software wise to my phone?

Its in 4.2.

It is another change in Jellybean 4.2. It is made so that n00bs don't go into the developer settings and mess up anything. I think it is a great job done by Google to add that.
Thanks for the replies... I hadn't read anything about it yet.

It's only in a couple hundred threads as you need to get into the developer options to enable USB debugging in order to root and mod the phone. You can't use adb or fastboot till you enable usb debugging. Jelly Bean is the first version of Android where the developer options are hidden.

Can anyone help me with something?
I need to see how the Nature UX UI looks like since I am making a theme for our phone. Can anyone please replicate the following pictures? I want to see how it looks like on your jelly bean phones... Thank you so much.!
Also, the popup that appears when you change media volume.
Any help is much appreciated.

Does firmware 4.1.2 allow support for multi window? I read somewhere that it does, along with a new gallery. Is this true?

so i got my s3 mini from a friend studying in dubai
phone was brand new in the box
looked legit
had all the right hardware specs and software and all packaged as expected
however
started looking at a few things in details for example the imei
there are a few websites where you can query your imei and see what output it gets
mine showed some other brand and model of phone
leading me to believe my phone is one of those cheap replicas
and yet the look and feel and performance seems legit

forum problem
Greetings all!
I am having a slight problem with the forum. I can't seem to stay logged in all the time, even if the box is ticked. From time to time I must reenter my credentials, and that is a [first world problem] I know but is there something others has experienced or is it just me?
On the side note, this occurs in latest stable Chrome, latest dev build chrome, as well as latest stable FireFox.
I never click the link to log out, I just close the tab/window. And it appears to be quite random too, that I must reenter my credentials.
Thoughts? Solutions?

First of all the S4 is a wonderful device.
and yes if you install the Google edition. it supports a microSD with all your data.
You have to installl the stock system apps with root on your device probably.
yes the S View cover works normally with it.

Unable to find camera awesome on Google play.

I have purchased camera awesome from Google play few months ago but now I noticed that I am no longer able to even find it. I am on purity rom 4.4.1. Problem is, my friend is on the same rom but he can find it with no problem on Google play. Only difference is he's not purchased it. Anything I might have missed? I tried emailing the Dev but there's no reply.

It's probably a region issue. Follow this link on your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smugmug.android.cameraawesome&hl=en It will probably tell you that it isn't compatible with your nexus 4 for some reason. I normally find that this happens when I've recently updated my ROM to the latest version and the dev hasn't had a chance to catch up yet, but if your friend is on the same ROM I'm not sure why it would happen.

Did you change your phone dpi? It normally makes some apps incompatible with your phone which means even if you search they don't show up. Go back to stock dpi reboot. May be dirty flash the rom and you might find your app
I LOVE MY SLUTTY N4
Alright Changed back my dpi and it worked. Thanks guys!
