Hi all, might be a bit of an odd one this, but, i'll try to explain my issue.
I only got my S3 a few days ago, i've not rooted it yet so it's still on stock vodafone firmware.
The phone came with the following firmware
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There was a notification for an software upgrade so i decided to go for it, upgraded to the following firmware/baseband...
Now, i noticed a couple of changes after the upgrade. 1, in my browser settings there is no longer a setting to adjust the brightness specifically for the browser itself. There was on the old firmware.
Ok, not too fussed about that one, the one that is bugging me though is when text messaging. When i got the phone, up until the firmware upgrade when texting i would press space bar, then if say i needed to insert a comma or question mark i would select the desired punctuation from the 'predictive text' area then when i began typing the next word, it would automatically shift the punctuation mark up close to the last word. very handy. Since the upgrade though however, now i press space bar, the punctuation marks appear in the 'predictive text' area i select the one i want, and i start typing again but it no longer reformats it so it's up close against the desired word! so i am left with some thing like this:
eg: Stupid text messaging ! instead of this, eg: Clever text messaging!
Is this the same for everybody else? it's very annoying! it worked so good before.... Is there a setting i need to change to get it back? theres not as far as i can see, but i might have missed it.
Hope somebody can help.

Nobody had this issue after an upgrade?

Does anyone know where I can get a full screen dialpad for the 8525? It seems like a big waste of space not to be able to use to full screen for the keypad. I have fat fingers and it would make my life a whole lot easier to dial without having to use the stylus.
Thanks
Patrick
are you talking about something like pocketcm keyboard?
Try leaving your phone at the top of the stairs and then when it rings run up them to answer it, then you wont have such fat fingers, but i bet you live in a house with no stairs lol.
the touch dialpad has pretty big buttons
something like this?

try browse the forum in touchpal or better yet open www.cootek.com
Clarify
Are you looking for Dialpads or for Keypads? Dialpad are for dialing telephone numbers. Keypads are keyboards for typing messages and such.
Dialpads-Use the search enging (upper right of this page) and type in dialpads. If not on the first page of hits definately on the 2nd or 3rd you should get a lot. There are dialpads from the HTC Touch and Marshall (you can even search his name) has produced quite a few that even include smartdialing.
Keyboards-I recommend searching touchpal or go to PocketCM.com. Tene has developed a lot of large screened ones and there are skins for even larger looks.

Hi, today I noticed this icon in my notification bar, and I really can't find what it is. Anybody knows??

it's what usually appears when the notification bar has run out of space to display anymore stuff....but not in your case it seems! Try clearing any notifications if you have any, otherwise try a reboot
No no this icon actually means that notifications are turned off, turn notifications back on and it wll go away.
Assuming you are running a slightly older firmware too as this icon changed to something that makes more sense a few revisions ago.
Again? This kind of thread pops up EVERY other day and I have answered just about everyone.
Your notifications are off. Turn them on.
Can we get a big sticky thread that says, "IF YOU HAVE THIS ICON IN YOUR NOTIFICATION BAR, LOOK HERE!!". ???
baldi - funny you say that - I honestly thought I'd somehow clicked onto a post from several weeks back as I have answered a couple of these myself

Ooops, my bad, forgot that it had changed! I vaguely remember now lol
I just published v1.0 of a text adventure interpreter (sideload url - for those who don't have access to google play). Here is a screenshot of the main user interface:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My problem now is that I got a few control features in it, that you might stumble upon by accident, but from which it is not immediatly obvious that they exist at all. These controls are not vital, but make life a lot more compfortable. To list them:
You can swipe the message area left/right to get to the status screen (same as pressing the "flip view" button)
touching a word in a chatbubble will automatically copy it to the input prompt. Double tapping empty space will clear the input prompt
The icons in the lower bar are "speeddials" and fully customizeable. You open the editor by long pressing the icon.
In itself, those controls are pretty sane as they allow you to do things fast. They are what a power user would want to be there, but how do I explain their existence/usage to the casual user? My first idea naturally was to put that in the FAQ, but who reads docs these days? The next idea I had was to simply pop up a messagedialog when the user first comes into the vicinity of a control (e.g. touching a speeddial pops up an alert dialog telling the user how to edit it). Personally, I hate "nanny dialogs" and could see that as a reason to uninstall. Next idea was to display a toast but showing a timed message somehow seems like the wrong approach. Final idea was to push instructions to the notification bar. Not as disruptive as a dialog, but a lot of people seem to care religiously about the notification tray to be empty.
So ... any good ideas on the matter?
hello, its been a lot while since i login and come to xda, im here when i have o2 windows "mobile" 6/6.5, now i am an android user, using sony xperia z with 4.3
enough with introduction, as the title said, i have problem about the google voice (GV for now) and keyboard, im not the same as everybody with missing GVT or wanting to disable it, i actually like it a lot, especially because it support my language (not english).
using voice input is easy:
1. i press the GV icon
2. i talk
3. text coming out, there will be miss typed/heard sentences
4. you know, if the system doubt your speech and want to correct it, you just tap the word with grey underline,it indicating that it have multiple option
5. then you choose the correct sentences
sadly, my step number 4 is a problem, because the correction that pop up to correcting/delete sentences is being blocked by keyboard, that is why i say it also a keyboard problem. so i cannot choose anything from it. and i have this problem since 4.2.2, the first day i upgraded it to 4.3 is okay, but suddenly it happen again. i don't think i will resetting or formatting because i have a lot of app and chat history that i cannot delete
and lastly, what do you called that correction feature? because i search over internet and i cannot find someone with this problem, possibly i don't use the correct keyword.
here is the screenshot and i highlighted the point of this thread with red in case you want to skip reading.

It's the lmt keyboard listener.. It and all good
I'm very new to Android and my elderly mum has a N7105 unit. It used to run a very ancient 4.4.3 (I think), but after numerous days and sleepless nights (technology is not my forte) following XDA threads - many thanks to this site - and watching countless number of Youtube videos, I finally managed to successfully flash Lineage OS 14.1 onto it and root it and it runs without a problem.
My question is, can I change the notification pull down thingy (sorry, don't know what it's called) to have the exact same style as the stock Samsung one? She needs to change between WiFi and 4G, but is visually impaired, so the stock one, with the words "WiFi" and "Mobile Data" was very clear and self explanatory. She dislikes the new one as the icons are too "2D" and flat. Also needing to press another minute button on the top right hand corner just to enable 4G is too troublesome for her.
So is there an app or something that can restore the pull down notifications menu to be very close or exactly like the stock one used on N7105? I realize that may be too much to ask, so anything in the vicinity of the latter would be fine (ie. S4, S5, J series) as long as it's early to mid 2010s.
I've tried Material Noticebar and substratum but none restored it to the way it was. All she needs is for the notificaiton pull down to look and function like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: I'm prepared to pay for any apps/themes if it comes that that. Just need the notification pull down to look and perform like the above.
