Important bugs in CM6: Sym scrolling flaw - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Sorry I need to post this here since I'm a new member and not allowed to post in dev forum.
Anyway, I just discovered a bug which I thought very important:
When I'm typing texts using the keyboard, the moment I use the Sym key to go through symbol set, the scrolling will get stuck whenever I scroll through the end/beginning of the entire symbol set. Hope someone can fix this.

That's known bug..
There's only work-around for that ATM, landscape your phone (with phone auto rotate enabled).. the keyboard will works again..

go to settings/CyanogenMod/User interface/scroll down to Enable overscroling and enable it
this is working just for slide out keyboard

get ride of the language bar when using hard keys?

Hi,
whenever i use the hard keyboard, that stupid little language bar pops up on the bottom. I always press the eng button by accident and change the language.
How can I get rid of it without, losing softkeys on portrait mode and the symbol function.
thanks!
Ray
The only way I know to get rid of the language bar is to install another keyboard, but you lose the symbol function. Check this thread out for a great alternative, the keyboard linked includes an auto-correction for the physical keyboard, which in my opinion, is a brilliant addition as well as easily accessed symbols.
really?
so theres no way to type underscore "_" in landscape mode?
I suppose if you were desperate you could leave the default text input active and switch to it from the HTC keyboard when you wanna use an underscore. Although that's a little tedious lol.
That sucks...
Thanks anyway

Hi,
I guess, you can do it by :
Settings> Locale & text> Un-checking "DEFAULT INPUT"

Yes, we know that, but if i do that, I won't be able to type _ anymore.
Lol cant u close the phone and do undetscore thru one of the side sliders of th portrait keyboard.. how lame sony have been with minor amazingly annoying smart ( or dumb lol) phone issues on th xperia range. Iv had th original x1 then x10 m pro and overall pleased with both. Its just th connectivity/compatabillity that's gettin on my goose...

Yes I can, but in the process of doing so, i might press something else and changed the language to estonian or something. It's a great phone, but these small details annoy me. Crapy contact dialer and crappy symbol keys.

[Q] FroyoBread v023e (Pro) Keyboard Problem

Hi guys,
I'm new here, so I can't post in developer's forums. I have a problem with the "default input" keyboard . It works perfect except for one reason: when I press de "Sym" key, it appears the special characters and I can use them, but, when I scroll 'till the end of the list of special symbols/emoticons, the touch control doesn't work anymore on the list, so I can't scroll in the list and I can't "touch" any symbol to type it. If I press the Sym key again, the list appears, but the touch control is already disabled. It works after a few minutes (I think is when the keyboard is restarted or someting like that).
I don't know if this is a usual problem (anyone with the same problem?) or if it has a solution.
For more info, I'm spanish, so my X10 mini pro has an spanish keyboard. The problem occurs with the default layout given by the ROM and it occurs too when changed to qwerty-br (spanish layout) with the KeyboardSwitcher app.
This is my only problem with the rom (first rom I've installed), so I'm very happy with it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Rom manager slade bro pm me short post long post hard to understand
kormatoes solved my problem, so I will post the solution here, for the people who got the same problem.
Yo just have to allow the "bounce" in the scroll (over-scrolling): Settings --> CyanogenMod Settings --> User Interface --> Enable overscrolling
Is less appealing, but the keyboard works fine.
Nice to se some nice people hhere thanks again bro
Didn't worked for me.... the symbols freezes after reaching bottom.

"cyanogenmod->interface->overscroll effect-> bounce and glow"
option in MiniCM6 1.0.2 Rom
Best regards

[Q] How to change input methods quickly?

Hello People,
I would like to know how to swiftly change the input method without going to settings?
(Yes, I have searched and there is another similar thread here. I tried that method but it doesn't work).
I have Swype Beta (the new one) and SwiftKey3 along with the original android keyboards / input options..
So one way to change is to go to the settings and change the input method from there.
But I would like to know if there is a way to quickly change without going to settings? Say, from the SMS window or the browser text input field etc...
Previously I remember the long press on the text input field used to bring up input options - But nothing happens now when long pressing.
Another thing - I do see this keyboard icon in the notifications bar on the top but when I click on that the pop up window with the different input options just blinks and disappears. It doesn't stay and let me chose an input option.
So can someone please tell me how to get this done?
Thanks in advance.. Cheers.
If you're on ICS, by default you get a notification to select input method whenever you use your keyboard (the one you mention in your post). It worked fine for me in stock ROMs and it's currently working fine for me with CM9.

Thanks...
I 'see' the notification at the top in the notification bar but when I pull the bar down and click on 'select input method', there is a pop up window that pop's up and disappears almost the next millisecond.. So basically it just blinks.. So at the moment, the only way I can change the input method is by going through the settings... So basically I can't do anything with that notification at the top....
I don't know if this is some issue with Go Launcher and pop up window / notification settings (I am trying to check from that perspective as well as posted a link to this thread in the official Go Launcher thread here on XDA)..
Update:
I have tried to remove Swype Beta and SwiftKey 3.. but still the problem remains! The pop up window (brought up by clicking the select input method notification) doesn't stay..
I have no idea where the problem lies.. It would be nice if someone can help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.
Edit
Please see here
The issue was because of Go Launcher!!

[Q] Keyboard problems

Ok, so I recently downloaded an APK for AI. Keyboard after which I started having problems. When I press the backspace it uses other keys like. When I press it doesn't delete but instead puts another letter like "p" and happens with other keys too. Also at time I go into settings and press on certain options such as Language & Keyboard it reverts to applications or sound settings. I don't know if this is a virus or anything. Does anyone know at all about something like this.
reckoning the keyboard app to be beta, you should post the issue in relevant forum in the keyboard app site.

CM9 Double Keyboard problem

Whats up everyone ok here is my problem.
When I click in a text box, the onscreen keyboard pops up even when I have the dock attached. Is there a fix for this?
Previous versions of Cyanogenmod had the swipe option (NOT on the lockscreen) to open programs. For example, I could swipe up to open the browser or swipe down to open Facebook. Does this option exist or has it been omitted in CM9?
I use my Prime for work and do allot of typing so this got very annoying very fast I have to constantly be taking down the on screen keyboard.
The last thing I noticed the screen doesnt orient to the portait mode.
I have posted in the Cyanogen Mod Forum two weeks ago and have yet to get a reply so I figured I would post here to try and get some answers. I really dont understand why none of the mods or anyone else have not posted any replys what so ever the forum look like its dead.

Install Null Keyboard if you don't want to see the onscreen keyboard while the dock is attached.

Thanks that finally worked but one thing I dont like about the app it has a warning when you turn it on saying that it will collect all data entered in the keyboard.
I also posted on here to see if anyone had any idea of any updates from CM9 to fix this and also wanted to know about the swipe which CM usually was putting into their roms thanks.
