I recently started having issues while texting. It started out when I am composing a text message the word will not show up in the message bar until I hit back to remove the keyboard. Now nearly every time I hit the space bar to go to the next word the keyboard disappears and the word will pop up in the text box. It is starting to get a little annoying having to re open the keyboard after every word I text. Has anyone else experienced this problem or does anyone have any advice? Thanks.
Try going into settings language and keyboard and clear learned words. I seem to recall that being posted in another thread and it working.

I don't see an option to "clear learned words"
Do you have a link to the thread? I did a search and couldn't find any problems resembling this for the x2.
I had this problem a month or so ago. This post on Droid Forums fixed it for me. Since I'm a new member I cannot yet post links... so...
Google "Droid X keyboard/spacebar issues." It should be the first result. If you're feeling lucky, hit I'm Feeling Lucky.
Awesome man thanks, worked like a charm. Don't ask why I didn't google it first. Truthfully I've just been itchin to have an excuse to post on here!
Just so if anyone else has this problem, the solution is to clear the data/cache for your keyboard in settings> applications.

If you're running the latest ICS nightly (since 2012-02-02, I think) and use Evernote, you've probably noticed that it not longer displays the tablet UI.
For some reason, the Evernote app calculates width of the screen is 4.xxxx instead of the 7.xxxx required for displaying the tablet UI.
I've modified the APK to ignore the calculation so that the app displays the tablet UI.
I hope you like it.
com.evernote-2.apk
UPDATE: Some people have asked me to look at the Kindle app too.
Looking into it, but it is a little more complex ...
If you already have Evernote, you'll need to uninstall it before trying to install this one.
Tip:
Copy this to /system/app to ensure you'll never lose it ...
That way if you update the app thru the market and lose the tablet UI you can uninstall updates

Thanks a lot for this. Tablet UI is lot better. really missed it with recent nightly....I even tried changing DPI..still no use. Your fix is really good . Thanks a lot..
No problem; glad I could help!

Hey, cool! I read about this in your posts on the user thread. How did you do this? I don't know enough to diagnose it, but I would be interested in digging through a couple different apps in this manner.
Do you have access to the block of code you changed or are you dis-assembling this to make this work? This is a common problem across a few google apps as well (chrome, docs, etc) Just wondering if you had any insight into the root problem.
Yeah, that's why I want to know as well. I saw people asking you to take a look at the Kindle app over in the development thread, and I figure instead of buying us dinner you could just teach us how to fish, you know?
Yeah I disassembled the apk.
Essentially, I searched the decompiled files for the word "tablet" ... When I thought I found what I was looking for, I compared it against the logcat.

Did you run it through a baksmali to get the classout and go from there?
Yeah I used apktools found here:

OMG can you do this for aldiko too?
Hey guys (and probably gals too) I'm sorry I haven't posted anything yet ... Work's been kinda hectic ...it appears I have some time this weekend, so I'll look into the kindle app ... If I have time (if the kindle is easy), I'll look at aldiko too
Since I don't really use these apps .. screenshots would help, I realize they'd be doctored and/or annotated

Can this be done for Opera Mobile Browser also ? Love it !! Many thanks Kem - El !
this would be great. http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2011/12/07/aldiko-ebook-reader-app-updated-for-tablets/ The movie on this page shows what it would look like in tablet mode. When you install it on your nook you should be able to see the phone mode.
you can also download the apk from their own website: www.aldiko.com whithout the market.
FWIW the official Kindle app update that just showed up on my GN claims that it's fixed margins and spacing on tablets. I'm not near my Nook, but let us know if it works.

Yeah unfortunately it's not fixed on the Nook Color or the Touchpad.
I'll upload a picture of the Kindle app and describe the differences of tablet mode and phone mode on the Nook. I am very interested in having my NC as well as my TP displaying the Kindle app correctly for landscape mode. Without the split screen with two pages displayed in landscape mode, it's a long traverse to read a line across the entire length if the tablet. Lol
If you still have time to look into this, I would be very grateful. No worries either way.
Thanks for the Evernote fix!

It is fixed in CM9 on the nook color. I have tested it. The margins and line spacing is much improved. You still cannot adjust them, but it is very readable. Make sure you have the very latest version.

Hi leapinar,
I am on the latest version and the Kindle app is not in tablet mode at 160 dpi. I do see the changes you mentioned. However just to be clear, when you hold your Nook in landscape orientation does the screen split and have two side by side pages like an open book?
Edit: I disassembled the apk, but it is not clear at all to me what is triggering the tablet view/install. I tried a few edits and reassembled the apk and nadda.. At this point I am just blindly throwing darts..
Guys,
Sorry about disappearing ... I was out of town for work for a couple of days and busy on a new work project.
I've looked at the new version of the Kindle app, and yes the margins are better, but having the ability to adjust them like the phone would be ideal.
I'm looking at the code to see if I can just swap out the tablet reader view with the phone view, giving us the phone menu options.
A little slow going ...

Would just like to second this - the app is actually semi-unusable without it being switched because there's no way to access 'menu' (no hard button on the NC and no softbutton shows up in the app).
I know a hack is available for AOSP-based ICS ROMs. Will it ever be possible port a voice enabled Google Now to a Sense ROM?
The hack works on sense. I've used it on meanrom ics for cdma. Used the voice search for Google Now app too. Worked pretty well. Only thing is after using it, my battery was draining like no tomorrow. Not sure if it's related to Now or not. I got rid of it just in case.

How come the voice search wasn't working for you?
They don't have voice search, speaking to you or you speaking to it, working at all. Sense or aosp. Only works on jb. They made an app to allow you to speak your questions in the meantime

Yes (sort of). When I first tried it, it was over the July 4th weekend, so the thread was very disorganized as people worked to get things going. I actually followed the instructions from one of the posts in the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28234189&postcount=142
I haven't tried it since the OP has everything posted with the voice search add on. It says in the OP that it only works on AOSP Roms, but the one I used from post 142 worked for me on whichever sense based rom I was running at the time (I want to say MeanROM ICS).
Darn it Clankfu, now I have a new project to try. Time to start a nandroid backup. :laugh:

Yes, tried it when it first came out, then removed it because it was still buggy. Then tried it again Thursday for a couple days. Had to use the voice search for Google Now app to input searches via voice, but it worked pretty well. Just huge battery hog so I dumped it again forum now.

Been playing with it today a little. It is a little buggy (can't exit by back button and the JB microphone button does not work as the OP from the Google Now thread said). But, I installed it like the thread said and also installed the Voice App download and the secondary voice widget (although I don't know if that one is needed). If you long press on the magnifying glass, you can have the Voice App for Google Now open so no widget is needed.
The searches were not very natural like the Siri clones such as Vlingo. If I said, "call John Doe mobile" it would say searching "call Johnd hoe mobile" and try to search Google. If I just say "John Doe", it finds that contact on the phone and I can press the contact and then go to the contact page, which are more clicks than just doing that by hand. If I say, "run rom toolbox pro", it searches Google, but if I say "rom toolbox pro", it shows the app as an option and I can click on it and it loads. It actually seems to work better if you don't use the voice functionality and just type what you are looking for.
Be extra careful hitting the back button. If you hit that on the cards page, it locks up the app. To correct it, I had to press home, then to do a long home press and swipe the app away. If you want to leave the app and not have it lock, you have to hit home.
It also puts a weather notification in the status bar.
In the end, I agree with gk1984. I think it would be cool if it was built in to the phone, but it feels bolted on and not very smooth on the 3d. I may give it a few days to see if it is as clairvoyant as they say, but I'm not seeing why I should keep it at this point.
But, try it for yourself and see. As I always say, nandroid backups are our friends.
I also tried the Vlingo beta since that is what the S3 voice app is based off of and it seems a lot smoother.
Well hopefully they'll keep developing this and make it a smoother experience. For right now, it doesn't seem like a significant upgrade from the regular stock voice search.
Also, I didn't realize there was a new Vlingo beta. I'll have to check it out.

Well, it's not all bad. You do get the little cards when you need them. But I don't think that makes it worth keeping personally.
So, I tried it for a few days and it killed my battery. My battery today only lasted 4 hours with 2 hours of screen on time. There were 2000 wakelocks trying to get my location, which I think was Google Now.
Yea, that's no bueno.

I don't think Google Now was meant to be an assistant and follow commands, but I could be wrong. I think this is purely an enhanced search feature. They've be reporting the assistant was supposed to release in Q3 or Q4. They only said development was being sped up very shortly before the release of JB. They may still release an assistant later.

So it's half assed like Siri. The whole idea was that it was supposed to answer questions before you asked.

It actually does on my N7. As you keep using the feature, it'll start showing the relevant cards but I'm not sure if a port will work the same way.
Hey guys.
What Im looking for is a nice SMS app that goes will with my moto ICS and ExDialer. For those of you who dont know, ExDialer is a clone of the MIUI dialer.
So what I want is something that looks nice, and preferably similar to the ExDialer. I dont need a ton of fancy functions. It needs to send texts, period. I used to use Go SMS, but its not entirely right for me.
There was an ExMessenger being developed, but it seems like it never made the finishline.
Anyways, recommendations?
Try Razr M stock messaging app, pretty functional and good looking :fingers-crossed:
Hm how would I get about getting that?
By visiting my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897306
GO SMS is pretty good, IMHO
My first post says that I'm moving away from Go SMS.
The default one in MIUI is very neat too. But stock is very nice!
Yeah I just ended up using the stock one. I sort of overlooked it since I ran straight to GO SMS when I installed ICS, as Ive been using GO before.
I use VZMessages. It does have options for syncing with a tablet through wifi if you're so inclined. I sync with my Galaxy Tab. Plus I like the notification pop up.

Hi, first post on XDA, and never used android before! Liking it so far, but have a couple of questions and would have a couple of questions.
I am using an HTC One (from Rogers wireless in canada, apologies if i posted in the wrong section, couldn't find a section for this phone). I came from using an iPhone, so naturally somethings are very different. I am not rooted, and currently using Nova Launcher free. Would like to stay un-rooted.
My first question is regarding the email notifications for the stock email app (not gmail). When I receive an email, in the notification drop down, there isnt a preview for the email, it only lists my email account, and "new email" underneath it. Any possible way to have it show a short mail preview, similar to iOS using the above launcher and stock firmware (4.1.2)?
The other question I had was if there is any possible way to set up a geo-fence which would enable a preset passcode to be used when i leave my house, and then disable passcodes when i arrive back home?
any help would be great, or if there is a similar thread already.
Thanks!!

I use the default mail app and I get a small preview as you call it (see attachment), But I'm on 4.2.2 not sure if that was introduced with the update or not.
As for the Geo- fence you can accomplish this with NFC Tags or an app called Tasker would allow you to setup your phone to do this.
I also came from an iPhone 4S I'll never go back
