Wow, good point - I don't see it either. That's crazy.
How can you not include the $ symbol?
There's no £ or € symbol either! It's a serious omission.

There is no plus sign either. I tweeted Samsung Mobile and they thanked me for the feedback. So, lets hope the twitter person at Samsung spreads the word.

Well, this is a stupid way to do it.
Press and hold the 123 ... key, select the mic, tap the mic, and say "dollar sign" or "euro sign" or "plus sign".
I kid you not.

Incredible... See, I use special characters a lot in various passwords, so not have them available is a problem. It's sort of amazing that this solution works. Thanks!

I'm curious as to how many people are using the Teksoft Fingertouch keyboard donated by Teksoft to the Athena Project. I've since abandoned by hardware keyboard and use Fingertouch only.
Anyone else using this only or using something else?

hehe im also a dump the hardware for fingertouch person.
The thing I hate about the onscreen keyboard is that whenever you tap the screen to enter data,
it automatically pops up. 95% of the time I use the hardware Keyboard, and if I'm filling at a large
form with many fields, the darn KB app pops up every frick'n time and I have to close it to continue.
Is there a hack/mod, that turns off this auto pop-up setting? Its really
getting on my nerves.

get a null SIP (SIP = onscreen keyb)
http://phm.lu has one, though i didn't try it on wm6
Hi, i removed the HW-keyboard too.
The Fingertouch-Soft-KB looks great but it's a little too big.
It lets only 1/5 of the screen show if selected pad 5.
If selected pad 1 still only 1/3 of the screen shown.
This isn't much. Is it somehow possible to make the keyboard smaller?
Now i use the standard Keyboard with big keys and gestures and this is still a little too small for fingertouching, but now i see what i'm typing.
Any app which has size between Fingertouch and standard keyboard i think will be better.

Fingertouch can be skinned. I never did it as one of the guys at Fingertouch took care of this for us. If you visit their forum I'm sure they can help out or maybe there are instructions...hell they may even do it for you if you tell them you're using their product on your Athena. They donated, for free, their full version keyboard to help out. These guys are great. Their forum is also very helpful and they respond quickly based on my experience. I'm sure Fingertouch can be skinned/modified to be exactly what you want.

Thanks, i didn't know FT-KB isn't freeware.
Great to have it inside the ROM.
I use it in combination with the hardware keyboard. I tend to find the HW keyboard easier to use when 'stationary' i.e. sat at my desk. But when oot and aboot, its easier to use the fingertouch.
I did alter the registry so that it uses keyboard '1' rather than '5' as its easier to use. Just a shame there's no £ key and the \ key isn't a shift key on board 1.

Yea I use the regular mode. FYI, you can set this in the options for the product, no need for the registry hack. ;-p
I use it alot but the lack of £ sign is driving me nuts ! that is when I resort to the HW keyboard as it is quicker than switching to the WM soft keyboard

I hardly use my HW keyboard now these days. It is a lot easier with FT but I do agree with some of the comments where sometime you can't see what you are typing. However, I have learned to live with it.
Thanks everyone and keep it coming. This type of feedback is useful for future ROMs.

I don't know if any of you are aware and it literally happened overnight but TEKSOfT APPEARS OUT OF BUSINESS and they were in business last Friday. How do I know this? SAT, SUN, AND MONDAY their website was compleltely down and yesterday and today, do the search yourself or type in their exact url you will get immediately redirected to a weird website and then click on TEKSOFT on the top right corner and it will say no results found. I hope I am wrong here but have tried directly from my device the Polaris to purchase from their online shop and it goes directly to some unknown website. kevin

Looks like maybe someone forgot to register the domain as it expired and maybe someone else snatched it up. The WHOIS expiration shows 01/10/2008, unless i'm reading the date below wrong. Unless they did go out of business and just let the domain expire.

Much as I don't own an Athena anymore, the Fingertouch keyboard made a great difference and I never used the hardware keyboard. For an alternative I used a bluetooth keyboard. Without Fingertouch and the black ROM in general I would've got rid of my Athena much sooner.
I enjoy my hardware bluetooth keyboard a lot, as I work with translations and need to type out big bodies of text. As my fingers are accustomed to hardware keyboards I guess I am the conservative old goat who says "software keyboard?!?!?!"
I've heard of many having text to speach and I've looked to see if we have it stock. Either I haven't looked well enough or I am a little sleep deprived and need a window to lick. If anyone knows if we do have it and how to activate it, please be kind and fill me in.

It is usually a little microphone within the keyboard. Press is and watch the magic happen..
yep just tap the microphone icon that's on the keyboard and that will tell you when to start speaking. are you that got to put this message in.
okay I take it back it that messed up on that last sentence. what I had said was I use it to put this message in.
Swyping now... I like it but you definitely have to edit some of it and add punctuation, but fine for an informal text if you're driving or have your hands full.

Unfortunately, Vlingo has issues on the Rezound. They told me they are working on a fix....
I use gosms it has this feature also just touch the text you want spoken and select the option. May be a way to enable to do it automatically but havnt looked yet

I was not aware of the screen reader either. See, I knew I didn't look hard enough.
This forum is so much nicer than the thunderbolt forum was. So far people seem nicer and less judgemental. Must have been a prerequisite to buy the Rezound.

Enhanced Caller ID reads texts, email, gmail and gtalk, plus caller ID. It reads the email content (or as much as you want). It has a quiet time feature which I need, plus a while lot more options. It lets your customized ringtones play if you have one set for someone in your contact list. It's a great program.

Hi,
Just got a Samsung Galaxy Ace, but can't figure out how to access/use voice dialing.
On my old Sony K800i it was simply a matter of recording voice tags for the
speed dials, then pressing the call button on the handsfree kit and speaking
the name.
Any ideas please?
Save the number in contacts then, click the voice search app, or go to the Google toolbar and click the voice icon and say e. g. Call john mobile. It will dial. Internet connection is required.

But isn't there a way to do this by just pressing the handsfree button and speaking? In the UK you're not allowed to handle the phone itself whilst driving.

@OP , try using Vlingo

Found an app in the Android Market place called
"Headset button Controller (Trial)"
Will give it a try (possibly with vlingo) and report back.
Maybe then someone will thank me...

Using Headset Button Controller and Vlingo works!
I had to install the free TTS (test to speech) engine from the marketplace.
Then after setting the the headet button to voice command I was good to go.
The only downside of this method is that it uses data. So I'll use this for the
meantime, but the untimate goal is a standalone voice activated dialling app.

Finally found exactly what I needed.
Voice Speed Dial by Cyberon Corp on the market place.
Does exactly what I need and doesn' use data. Only thing
was I had to pay for it.
So this weekend i was driving around with my Note in its window mount and started thinking. What i really need is a way to trigger either Google Now or some other third-party app with voice-only controls. that way i could say Text Mom: Hi mom: and the phone would do so. Same with music, directions, calling etc.
As it stands, i have to manually activate these functions with physical contact. Is there any app out there that would listen for a key phrase to start an action?
Siri.
Or it's android counterpart ...."Skyvi "
Available on the play store..
I've toyed with it, and it's not bad.....g

Besides Siri on the iphone, the only thing I can find thats close is "assistant" in the market. Skyvi is only for sms, but assistant lets you create voice shortcuts. But nothing is handsfree - you have to wake up the phone and touch the app icon.

Hey devs out there...
Is there a way to make the Motorola's recent cool update in the MOTO-X which they call the "TOUCH FREE XYZ" :cyclops:
Actually the device wakes up with voice commands.
Also another feature like its called the "PEEK VIEW" :silly:
Thanks.

Doesnt s-voice already do all that???
Well it does only when activated with the "double-tap home key" action.
But this thing, MOTO-X wakes up just by saying "OK GOOGLE" which takes no button actions.
Just google the MOTO-X and u'll know how it works

You probably have your settings wrong then. if the "Wake up command" option is set, you just say "Hi Galaxy" (i think you can programme it too) and it wakes up without pressing home buttons.

well yes u r right
but u again will have to say the command like may be "Start Google Now" or something like that or just anything.
But this MOTO-X from Motorola actually has 2 extra voice-cancelling microphones + the primary microphone making them all 3 which makes it easy to take commands.
And the best part is that it doesn't have any inbuilt voicecommand app (i guess) and therefore you just wake the device by saying "OK GOOGLE" which actually means it directly activates google now and we have the liberty to say just anything
Note: Am not here to market the MOTO-X coz i actually have not liked the moto products ever since am into mobiles. Its just that the features (the 2 mentioned particularly) are appealing to me and may be to others too, i hope. Moreover i just love SAMSUNG. so, eace:
I dont really remember but i happened to go thru an app in the playstore which provides the "Peek View" feature but the disapp is that it only supports the 4.3 builds.
