(search is down, sorry if this has been answered)
While text messaging, there seems to be no enter (return?) key to start a new line, just a smiley face button. any way to enter a blank line in a text?
I would love to know this too.

In the HTC Text Message tool, when you are writing a message, if you long press in the text area INSTEAD of the default context menu with "select all, copy/cut/paste " It displays a cursor position slider to move the cursor exactly where you want to, with a context menu to "select text" that shows two cursors to multi touch to select text. This is an awesome feature, this is similar to how the iPhone text selection works, only without the zoomed in view.
I would like to "enable" this functionality across the system. Such as selecting text in emails, browser, twitter, facebook, or wherever. Is there a way to enable this cool functionality?
I'd be happy with an everywhere enablement. Even better is to configure so that it appears in the "select all copy/paste" context menu as a new item "cursor position" or something similar.

*Tip I also found useful:
40. Enable Magnifying Box When Selecting Text
Press and hold your finger on any text in a HTC app such as Messaging and an iphone-esque selection procedure with handles to drag and highlight text will appear. Modify the following registry entry to add a magnifying window as you select and highlight the text. Go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/TextSelection/EnableMagnifier and change from 0 to 1.

Has anyone had this problem?
I try to long press in order to open a new window. But instead of getting a pop-up menu, the browser tries to highlight text for cut and paste.
Is there anyway to turn this function off?
I'm attempting to code the messaging app so that the smiley face button that is normally present is replaced with the enter button. I found in one of the .xml files
"android:imeOptions="flagNoEnterAction"
What all do I need to change to make the enter button appear instead of the smiley faces?
I'm looking for the simplest 'eyes-free' way to perform a voice command with the phone asleep. So my basic question is: can you execute a voice command, e.g: "Send message to Chris", without having to turn on the screen, unlock the phone, and double tapping the "Home" icon and then clicking the google-now mic?
I want to be able to perform a voice command without having to really look at the device. On the Iphone 4s, I can send a message or call a contact relatively eyes free by just holding down the home button and saying the command. This ability is a big convenience when you're on the road a lot and I can't figure out how to do this relatively simple action on the One.
If there's no default action, is there an app that accomplishes this and maybe lets you map the soft keys? Or put a widget on the lock screen to this?
Thanks for any tips or comments!
PS- since the Samsung SIV has a physical home button, is it doable on that phone?
Hello, I am a very new developer and i am starting off with a calculator app, i was wondering how i can make it so when i press one of the buttons it will change the text from the "Hello" to the number that is pressed. Thanks.
