Answer Call from hardware keyboard - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, is it possible to answer calls from the hardware keyboard? I have Samsung galaxy Y which has nice qwerty keyboard and a little bit small screen(very blackbarish). Is it possible to answer on the keyboard(predefined keys or something like that).
Thank you,

Is Numeric Keypad "heavy duty" in S740 ?

Hello,
I do write many many on phone, but don't want use qwerty keyboard. So, I will use numeric keyboard. Is it suitable for someone who writes much?
Thanks for any answer,
RA
I mostly use the numeric (for SMS etc) and I don't have any problems until now. However if you dont need the keyboard why dont you look for another (maybe smaller) phone?

Thats the problem...HTC stop produce smartphones with numeric keyboards and NON-touch screen. That's a pity. There is only S740 and HTC Snap. I don't know why the go like this. Writing with numeric keypad with T9 is 1. Quicker 2. More comfortable (I can use only one hand). That's a pity...

Well, you can write pretty easily with the numerical. At least I don't have a problem. When I dont have time (or a second hand available) I always use the numerical.
The only thing I dont know is its quality. I have the phone for about 3 months now, so it's too early to tell you if any problems with the keys arise.
The Keypad is not very robust... it squaks and requires really hard presses as the phone gets older..
What i don't like about the numeric keypad is it's surface, which does not differ at all underneath the "joystick". That forces you to look at your fingers while writing (or am I too unsensitive), cause you can't determine if your fingers are on the key or between two keys (you really don't feel a difference at all, except that it gives "double haptic feedback" when you have pressed and when its too late cause then you already made two instead of one input ) if you don't ALWAYS LOOK AT THE NUMERIC KEYPAD.
Perhaps I just need some more excercise to intuitively press the keys correctly without looking (which was no problem btw with other phones that have little bars on the keys or a space between the keys).
I like the haptic feedback btw. If you press a key correctly, it nicely snaps.
Thanks to all!
I want to thank you all for answers. It was very important for me!

yes !! type seams heavy . like htc tytn2 official rom . like htc diamond offial rom !! i worked with those .
My main problem is that the two keys for the calls are way way too small. OK they are somewhat higher but they are small. And that wouldnt be a big problem if you use a handsfree, but one of them is used for locking the keyboard and is annoying at times (I have to use the 2-key combo to lock the keys)
Did you try Danny Baumann's Automac Keylock? It's the best way for locking keyboard

[Q] Disable keyboard sound.

Ok, I may be being an idiot, but how on earth do you disable the keypress sound in the default samsung keyboard?
Would love to know this too. Have looked all over and can't disable it in either the Samsung keyboard or Swype.
Is it not in settings sounds ??
jje
No. I've looked everywhere. Fortunately Swype does not make a sound for me.
Wow! I didn't realise you couldn't disable the noise.
I hated the Samsung keyboard. The auto correction was awful and the stock gingerbread keyboard was much better. I installed Smart Keyboard Pro that I loved on the Desire and it works a treat.
Is there an answer to this yet? Its completely pointless and anoying but i like the keyboard.
Yeah actually I was being stupid and testing the keyboard with Handycalc, which actually adds its own sound.
You can disable they keyboard sound by disabling 'Audible Touch Tones' in the sound settings. Unfortunately they keyboard is still pretty useless for me because you can't turn off the vibration without losing the vibration of the option/back keys.
Cheers, i kinda liked the dial pad tones but never mind.

ON-SCREEn Buttons Mod (Like on the Galaxy Nexus)?

Hey Guys,
well the topic already explains my concern. I would like to know if there is a way to activate on-screen buttons on my S3 like its standard on the GNex and deactive! the touch buttons, but not the Homebutton .
I find it not convenient to use the touch buttons because they are pretty far down in my opinion, Im always scared to drop the phone if I dont use two hands, while trying to touch it and sometimes if I push stuff whats on the bottom of the screen, I accidently push the touch buttons, this is pretty anoying too.
So, is there maybe someone working on sth. like that or is it even possible to change this without flashing a custom rom?
Thanks n greets
Rob
No one an idea?
I would also like it if someone can do this.
It's definitely possible: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696092

thanks for feedback guys

[Q] WP7 Keyboard sounds...

Ok,
Im aware that the keyboard "clicks" and "pops" can be turned off completely in WP7 but im wondering if there is any way to adjust keyboard volume INDEPENDENTLY of the phones volume? I like my ringer on FULL but not my keyboard...
Is it a possibility that the keyboard sounds are located somewhere within the phones file-system and can be manipulated (as SMS Alert tones can [/windows/Alert-01.wma etc.])
If anyone can advise from previous experience or other knowledge, I would be grateful, and hope to eventually develop some Homebrew to help easily adjust the annoying keyboard volumes (although it might take me AGES cos im relatively new to WP7).
Thanks in advance...
