Hi,
I'm planning to get a HD2 soon but I have a question regarding the text highlighting which is very important for me before choosing this phone.
On previous resistive screens like the Jasjar/Htc Touch Pro2..etc, after typing texts, you can quickly highlight them by pressing the finger on the screen and move left/right with the desired texts being selected. While on the Iphone and the Vodafone H1 360 which have capacitive screen, this method of selecting specific texts is not possible. I would like to know if this method applies to the HTC HD2 also?
Thanks!
yes you can select with a finger drag.
you can select with finger drag but it will never be accurate. this is limitation of capacitive screen.
It can be done, if that method is giving you trouble you can always go to the edit keyboard and press select text and use the arrows to get exactly what you need.

(that edit keyboard is only available when using swype, it doesn't come as standard on non tmous phones)
ok thanks for your reply. I think i won't go for the HD2 for the moment because selecting texts is my primary concern as I emails/texts a lot. THanks.

hello, my friend recently purchased the tilt, so naturally I had to commandeer (typo) it. his today screen has a nice button in the top right corner (where the 'x' button is normally located) to access a small menu full of the apps that are running. and the normal list of options are there: end, endall and whatnot.
I was simply wondering if someone is in possession of this plugin.
also, though not AS desired. the tilt apperently is able to have text messaging displayed on his today screen.
You mean HTC X-button? Search for it and be happy
pBar is much more powerfull and better than HTC X-button. Don't know the exact homepage of pbar but you can download it from here. (free registration required)

Carty..
Also check out Wktask. One of my favorites.
I use the HTC X-Button..They all seem to work about the same.

Yes, the tilt uses X-button, as does the touch and all future planned HTC buttons. You can find it all over this forum as well as others.
As many users here have already mentioned, there are actually many better options (X-button only shows you that info on the home screen, whereas wktask or my personal favorite- Qmenu, lets u view all your running programs whenever you want. These alternatives also generally use less resources).
As far as the SMS on the today screen... I don't get it, doesn't your titan do this? Whenver I get an SMS, the notification menu pops up on the bottom of the today screen (or any screen really) and shows me all 160 characters of the text message.
QuickMenu_en_2.7
works well for me
How do I make this feature go away when in landscape mode and I am using the slider? Help!!!
Ummm, hit the keyboard icon right below the onscreen keyboard?
I want it to permanently stay down unless I tell it to pop up. It shouldn't pop up if the slider is out.
null keyboard. should solve the problem (i had it installed on my treo, and i think it should work fine on the TP)

NullKB
While NullKB is the best on-screen keyboard fix I have seen, it's also the ONLY fix I have seen. I have been using it since I had the Sprint HTC Mogul. After installing on The Touch Pro, it tends to keep the KB at bay inconsistently. I am not sure if it stops working automatically upon soft reset but I wish it would control this issue unless otherwise directed.
download 'Advanced Configuration Tool'
Then in the Input section Disable 'auto deploy SIP'

I have never seen that option in Advanced Config.
I will check today to confirm.
I hate touching my phone while sharing internet, They always get cranky and it turns off for some reason.
Null keyboard works. Yay 4 Jugs rom has it built in.
I think he had a newer version then mine. Mine would just load a white box and stay up, His loads the box for a moment, then never comes back. But the bar will come up when its trying to deploy the keyboard.
This one has pissed me off for ages too. Just another one of those things Microsoft should have fixed several versions ago.
I dont think its nessarly their thing.
The dev's just are not writing something in to the phone to tell it to not put the keyboard up when you dont want it.
I dont think its a windows mobile thing at all.
Just remember, what devs think and what actuall users think are tottaly different.
We like no irritations unless we ask for them. They are thinking "well this would be good if the keyboard poped up here right now"
The other problem though with the OSK is that as soon as you bring it up, by accident, or purpose, it will pop up for everything after that. That is the one that bugs me the most.

Okay, I checked advanced config, and the option is there, i set it to disabled. Haven't tested it yet.
Working out another issue with standby at the moment.
Sarinhighwind,
Please let us know if the advanced config changed, worked. The on screen keyboard on my Sprint TP, pops up when I go into landscape mode, and then when I start to type using the slider key pad it disappears.
I don't want it to pop up at all.
Thanks.

Just checked, I forgot to earlier.
It does NOT work.
Like a lot of Advanced config features do not at the moment.
I used AC 3.3
The latest as I know of. Or maybe its 3.2 Whatever it was a few days ago when the TP came out.
This one has annoyed me as well... Using AC 3.2 it works well for me, the SKB does not deploy but it required a soft reset before it would work...
I use version 3.3 and it works fine for me. No more keyboard pop up here.
As above. YES you must do a soft reset before it works.
i see u guys arent recommending advanced config on the htc touch pro cdma .. is there one currently that is better... to change startup pick.. change soft key buttons....change order of tabs on tf3d
Another version of this question: how do I make the pop-up icon appear on every screen? (It does not appear on the today screen, for example).
you would use Diamond Tweak
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000001
If you make this entry into the reg it turns it off most of the time, in opera doesn't work
I know this is an old topic but I was looking for a solution for my Verizon XV6850 Touch Pro and Diamond Tweak worked for me (on SSK's 2.1.1 rom) but it's the same thing your gonna have to soft reset.
This was most annoying for me because it would pop up when making calender appointments for drop down menus. If you have a drop down why do you need to type in the time???
Anyway it worked like a charm just go down to keyboard (popup) and select disable and you'll be set

Is there a REG Tweak that tells it to always start in 123 mode? My keyboard is stuck in 123 mode and won't switch when I press the abc button on the screen keyboard...
Hi,
I make some search in this forum and in google and I have not been able to find an answer to my problem.
I'm a new Razr owner. Before I had a HTC Hero with trackball.
In whattsapp, I want to read a status which is wider than the screen. I'd like to know how to make it scroll. If I tap on it, I select the contact to write a message.
With the Hero, I used the trackball to scroll down to the wanted item to highlight it and the text began to scroll.
Now, without any kind of trackball, I've tried several way to highlight the item with a tap or a gesture, but no way to read the whole text making it scrolling.
Could someone help me ?
I haven't seen a thread on this yet and want to see if in the only one with this problem.
When reading on the browser or some other sort of free form text, inevitably I will end up selecting/highlighting text as I up because of how easy they made it for text to be selected. The usual way of highlighting text to copy it is to hold your finger for 1-2 seconds over a word to begin selecting. Here, however, whenever you tap on a word it is automatically selected. It isn't a deal breaker, but does make it difficult to read any sort of article or text without being annoyed.
Is there any the way to change this or to mitigate it? Thanks!
Nope there is no way of changing this behaviour.
I personally don't have this problem you are pointing, I can read and scroll without ever select the text.
There is a small difference between tapping, and swipe your finger over the screen to do a scroll.
BTW, you dont keep your fingers onscreen while reading, do you? hehe
Are you using a screen protector? Besides being able to protect the screen, they also reduce sensitivity.
When I type text, the keyboard automatically loads one of the three suggested words on top of keyboard (usually the wrong one of course) into my text making typing a real pain in the rear.
How do I get rid of these suggested words?
It usually loads the center word. The left hand word is usually the one I want.
Also the "word prediction" field in the settings area is dimmed meaning I have no access to green check mark.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, why do the "image verification" letters in this forum have to be so blurry? I have to reselect numerous times before I get one I can read.
You could try another third party keyboard. I hate the stock keyboard so I got swift key and have been using it for 2 years. You could try it out I really enjoy it and if you like it, but it will fix your issue your having with the stock one.

Thanks,

You can touch the word you want and it will fill it in to what you are typing. Also under Settings/Language&Keyboard/HTC Sense Input/Advanced you can only turn off word prediction if you uncheck trace keyboard.
Swift key app
Purchased swift key app.
Works great!
Thanks
I had and hate swift key with a passion, misinterprets everything i type into it.
