1) Everything can wake up except menu button.
2) Camera button is now activated by a 3 second press
3) Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> Untick Default Input Settings
Hope this helped =)
My camera button wont open up cam app. Hold for 10 sec now

For the annoying language bar, you can opt for a better option. Use swiftkey or Smart keyboard and it will replaced the language bar with text prediction box. A lot more useful.
For me the most annoying thing is the blue theme that has got even worse and still can't be changed!!!
Other than that I'm pretty happy with the update. I might not say that in a few weeks once I've tried everything but for now I'm happy.

Cheers I can confirm this works
I've gone with anysoftkeyboard which is free and doesnt put anything on your screen.
In the 1.6 version of gmail - you could press shift+s and then select the text you wanted to copy into the clipboard.
Now that 2.1 has been released pressing shift+s just makes a cursor appear, which is fine if the x10 mini/pro had a trackball but it doesn't.
Does anyone know how to copy and paste in 2.1 gmail?
EDIT (2010,11,10) - Found Solution:
If you press and hold the shift button while selecting your text on the screen it copies to the clipboard just fine
(obviously this is only a solution if you have a mini pro)

Actually, after a bit of searching i've found the solution to this.

(obviously this is only a solution if you have a mini pro)
I will update my original post.
one annoyance would be that I have to use Roadsync for Microsoft Exchange?
does anyone know how to use/install default Android 2.1 email client for exchange?
is it possible with anysoftkeboard to have an on-screen keyboard with multikeys (I mean [abc] [def] [ghi] ...)? because a whole screen keyboard in portrait mode is too small, that's why I have a minipro!

Well I am talking about copying content from existing email while you are reading it. Futhermore I have mini, so no shift button, but then most of the android phones dont have qwerty so how the hell this works in general for others?

I'm not sure what you mean.. But in the gmail app you can copy text from any message (either a received, a draft or already sent) with the method that was described.
Again, i know this doesn't really help you in any way because you don't have a keyboard :-(

This works...sort of.
I now have native exchange support on my X10 mini pro.
I used root explorer to move /system/app/SemcEmailSmall.apk to my sdcard
then copied the email.apk from the link above into /system/app/ and set permissions to rw-r--r--
so far so good. Doesn't look like there is an option for calendar sync but at least exchange mail works.

Thanks but when I try to install it I get "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]"
@l00k, does the contacts sync work at least?
You need to get rid of the other file first as per my other post. It won't install through app manager

Hi,
i was just wondering if anyone is having issues selecting other keyboards on streak-droid 1.8 i can select the keyboard in setting but as soon as i leave the setting it unchecks itself so i cant select it as an input.
i tried searching for this issue but had no luck so if a thread exists please point me in the right direction
thanks you
when in a box or area where you can type, do a long press, and this should bring up a menu which includes input method. Click that, then a list of whatever different keyboards you have installed should come up. Click your preferred method.
thanks
Hey thank you for responding but the issue i have is when i select the keyboards i download and leave that setting area and go back in the are unchecked again the only two that com up when i do long press is swipe and android keyboard . before i went to droid streak i would just check it in language and keyboard then do the long press like you said and it would show up.
guess ima try a factory restore and see what happens
thanks
Also having this problem. Just us?
Had this problem too. A factory reset from Dell's four option menu fixed it.
Or you can remove the swype app with titanium back up ...i ran into this proble. Today ...i fixed it by removing swype from system apps ...

Problem went away for me when I upgraded to 1.9...

I've tried installing different roms and kernels to try and fix this issue, but the "w" on the portrait keyboard doesn't work - instead it presses "q" and "e".
Is there a way on fixing the keyboard?
You need to go into the keyboard options and recalibrate that *****.

Sorry i'm a real noob, but how do you do that?
I cannot find a calibrate option for the life of me :l
when you get into your keyboard hit the little tire looking icon next to the mic.. And try the reset button in the options ^^

Which keyboard are you using?
I press the little cog and it takes me into "saumsung keypad settings" which has keyboard types, input language, xt9, keypad sweeping, character preview, auto-cap, handwriting settings, voice input, auto full stop and tutorial - but no reset?
Just the stock samsung keypad?
Ah yea the samsung one doesn't have a recalibrate option. I'm using the HTC keyboard, which has that option. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16368109#post16368109
When you're installed go to: settings>language and keyboard>HTC ime mod settings>text input...scroll to the bottom to calibration tool..
Hope it works!
Weird how you automatically thought he was using HTC_IME.
I installed that HTC keyboard - the W key on the keyboard still doesn't work - I think it may be to do with that location on the screen?
Paired with this, I can't add contacts to my phone :l I'm using Litening ROM v5 :S
Very odd, could be a faulty screen...may be something to do with the roms you've been flashing..they can make things go funny sometimes.
Can't help with the contacts issue, I've only used stock on this phone.
I think just take it to the shop (after you've flashed original rom of course, and got rid of the yellow triangle thing), and swap it for a new one.
Good luck.
Hi, I'm not sure if I have an issue, or am just being dense.
I cannot work out how to select/copy/cut text on my GS2. I am on 4.0.3 XXLPB with Simplistic ROM RC7. I also am using Swiftkey X, however the same thing happens with the stock keyboard.
On GB if I tapped the cursor the little menu came up asking if I wanted to select a word or all text. Now I just get a menu with 'paste' and 'clipboard'. Tapping the menu softkey does nothing.
Can anyone help?
In ICS 4.0.3 stock kernel... a long press of the text brings up the choices in the top notification area... e.g Tick is for selecting text...there is also an option to share it... etc etc
Hmm that doesn't happen on this rom unfortunately. I'd ask a question in the rom thread, but I'm not allowed to yet

Hi,
I have the same problem - after upgrade to ICS 4.0.3 select/copy/paste functions are not availabe.
could you share how did you solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
same problem, my version is XXLPS and using swift key
It only shows paste and clipboard. no option to select text...
You just need to double tap on any word and it will give you the option to select, also it will display a ribbon on the top with the copy/cut option
Hello!
I've installed CM 9.0.0 on my Mini Pro and I have a problem with the physical keyboard. When it is open, there are no word suggestions (even if i activate them in the settings) and there is no blue key lock icon in the statusbar. How can I install the stock keyboard on this rom? Previously used the Real ICS r2 rom and the keyboard was working correctly with word suggestions and icon on statusbar.
Thanks in advance!
Download a keyboard

As long as I remember, the suggestions doesn't appear when you are using the physical keyboard (well I'm not really sure about this). Anyway, you could use other keyboard like swiftkey, I'm using it already and suggestions appear even with physical keyboard.
Also, currently there is no way to get the key lock icon, though the key it's working normally. The same for the shift key and sym key.
All these features are present with the stock keyboard only. As far as I know there is no ported stock keyboard which is working with CM9.
