Last night I has 3 minor annoyances with my Incredible, but really android in general.
1. When entering text in an input field in my browser (Opera), like a username or searching @ google.com. When I enter text that is longer than the input box I can't see the text in its entirety, I have to scroll left and right to see it all.
Are there any tweaks to enlarge the box or something like that?
2. When I search for a word in a webpage the keyboard takes up 4/5 of the screen and it's very hard to see the text. If I click into the website the search box gets hidden and I have to go through the menus to get to it again. I feel this is a keyboard issue, maybe a resizable keyboard or one that doesn't take up so much room when searching.
3. When I get linked to youtube in facebook, it will usually launch it with my browser and take me to the mobile site. When I want to email the link it always uses the mobile version of the link, is there a way to always send the regular youtube.com link without having to view the desktop version of the website?
Does anyone have any ideas?
For #1 and 2 you can type into the address bar, go back out of keyboard, and the cut and paste to desired text box.
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.

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!!
Hey everyone!
So I'm running Android 5.0 on my Nexus 5 and I ran into an issue other people had in which after enabling 'Invert Colors', the system creates a quick setting within the notification tray that drops down. I then proceeded to follow a fix I found on Reddit in which I connected my phone to my PC through USB and used the terminal with ADB to input a code which reset the systemui, it seems.
The fix worked and removed the Invert Colors quick setting... but now my Google Now page that I swipe left to has a checkered box over where there should be a nature setting. When I tap it, Google does a search for 'test', which is kinda strange. Any idea what this is or how I can fix it? Do I need to reset my phone? I'm not entirely opposed to that option.
I can be kinda OCD about the way my desktop looks on my phone so this glitch is really bothering me! I attached a screenshot of it below.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Hi Guys
I just purchased a H96 Pro Plus, in the status bar there is a solid circle icon that wont disappear no matter what I do, I also don't know what program it's tied to.
I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or if someone knows what it is, its freaking me out because it looks like a recording icon.
Android version of box is 7.1.1
I am posting here because I have no idea where else to post about this

Hi, I just got this box with 7.1.1 and have the same circle icon. Not really sure what it is, but if i find out I'll post back here.
It wouldn't be the button to get back to the home screen like on any other Android device?

No, it's up top in the right hand corner where the time and wifi icon is.
When I click there all it shows is the wifi icon and a few others but the solid circle icon isn't there in the menu.
I'm thinking it's tied to a hidden system app but I have no idea what!
If you have a touchpad or mouse do a quick double click on the bar to make it show up fully.
Then you should be able to see what program is linked to it.
Go in the app manager and disable all notifications for that app - the circle should disappear.

I've done that, there's nothing there with the solid circle only the usual icons.
Even when I click on edit icons to either add or remove them; there is no solid circle icon there, this is what leads me to believe it's tied to a hidden app.
You wouldn't have the app "Sixaxis Controller" installed by any chance?

Nope, I have nothing like that installed.
Then I am running out of ideas here what could be represented by a solid circle
On my unit (7.1.1), the solid circle disappeared when I made change in system language. Just change it to anything, then change it back.
Another icon that may appear there is a circle with minus symbol in it. Thats means you mute the unit.

Wow that actually worked, how weird that it's related to language.
Thank You...
With the H96 Pro Plus (or others that are S912 devices) that have a solid white circle in the notification bar on the right side, this is a trojan indicator that is part of the Wireless Update utility. The updates for these boxes don't work anyway, even more so the wireless update. If you ran any decent anti-malware / anti-virus software on the device you would find the trojan. The solution is to uninstall the Wireless Update without running it and reboot.
For the white circle with the line in the middle, that is the DO NOT DISTURB icon. That can be changed in settings. Search for the word "Disturbed" in settings and turn it off.
Should you happen to get the White Trojan Token icon again, see what apps you have recently loaded. Run an app, like Malwarebytes against it and see if you possibly loaded something you really don't need on your device.
It should be noted a lot of MTK and S912 devices with hacked Chinese firmware may cause this icon to appear. It also shows up with hacked Yoka KB2 software upgrades. In this case, it is usually a BitCoin miner installed on your system, and it takes more than root permissions to remove it. Should this appear on an MTK device, run any form of benchmark software to test memory and you might be surprised the memory and CPU cores you thought you had were all a coded facade.
Hope this helps.
Everything is up to date as of the time of this posting.
When I go to settings I see accessibility I click on it and nothing happens it will not open. It has opened in the recent past. I'm trying to get in there to see if there's a setting that will help me with another problem which is that anytime I use speech to text swear words are suddenly censored. F***.previously I have kept all of the buttons on the do not hide offensive words setting. And those settings are still in the off position.
This happens whether I'm using Google assistant or any of the keyboards I have installed.
Thanks for your time
