Email and SMS and keyboard in landscape mode.

I was wondering if, by any chance Apple is working to enhance the iPhone's email and SMS capabilities by incorporating the use of the accelerometer. This would allow email and sms messages to be viewed in widescreen format making it easier for my older eyes to see. This would also allow email and text messages to be created and sent using a widescreen keyboard making it much easier for my big fumble fingers to use. This would be the one GREATEST enhancement that could be made for the iPhone!

No one hear can address 'what Apple is working on' - this is a user-to-user forum. There are aps in the App Store for landscape emailing; nothing for SMS.

  • IPhone keyboard in Landscape Mode

    Hey,
    Is any one else having the same issue ? Any solution is appreciated. When I use my iPhone keyboard in landscape mode (application - gmail) some of the letters in the keyboard don't pop-up. The keyboard inputs the letters in the mail however the on-screen prompt for a key being pressed (letters jumping up) does not happen. It happens for different letters each time. I have seen 'q' key do that .... r some times etc. It is not just the first row of letters too. I have seen other letters.
    I reset the phone, restored it and even got a warranty exchange. I still have this issue. Any ideas ?
    Peace...

  • IPhone 6 Plus - remove extra keys on keyboard in landscape mode

    is there a way to remove the extra keys that appear on the keyboard in Landscape mode? I would rather the extra keys are not there so that the letter keys are larger? thanks

    There is no way to modify the existing keyboard. However, iOS 8 allows for adding third party keyboard. Search the App Store. Another keyboard may better suit you.

  • Messages vs Personal Email vs SMS and MMS Text Folders

    Last week, I updated my software for my BlackBerry 8310 on the AT&T network.  I have been having problems with the receipt of emails since.  I seem to been receiving every email twice, once in my personal email folder on the main screen, as well as in the messages folder on the main screen.  I had posted asking for help and received help, which can be read here:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8300&message.id=42082#M42082
    I had separted my emails and text messages into their respective folders, and placed the icons for my personal email and SMS/MMS texts on the main screen.  I then hid the messages folder.  At first, I thought this solved my problem, so I marked the thread as solved.  I then received another email and realized that it was delivered twice, once in my personal email folder and once in the messages folder.  I then had to un-hide the messages folder to delete the email, so that the new email notification would disappear.  I am still in need of help, so that I only receive each email once.  At this point, I don't care what folder it goes to, as long as I don't have to delete the same email multiple times.  Thank you for any help in advance.

    they look like 2 copies, they are not 2 copies, they are the exact same copy, just mirrored in another location, but if you delete one... doesnt matter which one, the other one deletes. what you are experienceing is not new. I have been running 4.5 for 2 months now and it works the same as 4.3
    I receive an email in my gmail icon and my messeges icon, if I delete it in 'gmail', it deletes in 'messages' automatically
    If I delete it in 'messeges' it deletes in 'gmail' automatically

  • Song and Artist display differently in landscape mode (iPod on iPhone)

    I have a CD Compilation *50 Best Songs Ever*. When I play any song from this Compilation on my iPhone, if I turn the phone to landscape mode the Artist defaults back to the Artist on the 1st track, but if I turn the phone back to upright mode the Artist shows correctly.
    This is a CD Compilation of various artists, and the only one it seems to happen to.
    Any thoughts?

    No, the OP is correct, there is some sort of funky bug here. I have noticed it too. To the extent that it is almost comical. In portrait view the song/artist/album artist/album art are all correct; then switch to landscape view and you get a comical mix of songs from different artists, wrong album art (from first one in list) and the name of the song and artist are wrong, and inconsistent with what is playing. Rotate back to portrait view and all is good again.
    It is at best a minor inconvenience, and I love my shuffle anyhow, so the randomness of it is sort of fun/funny.
    But it is definitely a bug.

  • IPhone 5 and SMS and Pictures

    My iPhone 5 while on AT&T will not deliver sms messages with photos that are included in SMS messages.  It doesn't matter if I take the photo with the camera icon or atach it from the camera roll.  The iPhone 5 will also not send an SMS to more than 1 recipient.  Any advice?

    I do not know about ATT, but in Europe with most providers you have to activate the so-called MMS feature with your provider to send/receive SMS with pictures.

  • IPhone 6 Plus doesn't switch to landscape mode on the home screen

    my new iPhone 6+ will not switch to landscape mode when turned horizontally in the homepage. Any thoughts about why this is? It will inindividual apps, but just not on the home page. And no, my screen orientation is not locked in portrait mode.  Is anyone else having similar problems or have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    My iPhone 6+ doesn't:
     rotate to landscape mode on the home screen
     display dual-paned email
     display the extended keyboard in landscape mode.
    Curious if anyone else is experiencing all three symptoms on their 6+ too?
    (It ***** because I bought the horsey 6+ for these features.)
    I'm suspicious that it was my restore that did it. Did anyone else experiencing the "no rotate" bug restore from an iTunes backup? I did, and I think that it went afoul. I restored from an iTunes backup (via USB), from an iPhone 5s running the iOS 8 GM Seed.
    Does this ring a bell?
    I'd rather not wipe it and set it up as a new device as this takes HOURS that I don't have right now, but I suspect that the restore (possibly the iOS 8 GM) is the culprit.
    Thanks!

  • N9, missing SMS and chat notifications during musi...

    Hope somebody can help, as I've spent many hours Googling for the solution.  Just got a new N9 64Gb, learning to find my way around.
    I have a huge problem with notifications.  Basically my phone is my MP3 player for my lifestyle.  I'm trying out free Sigma player since it plays by the folder.  With incoming phone calls, music stops and a ringtone comes through.  Not the case with SMS and chat notifications.  As long as music is paused, I hear SMS/chat notifications.  Nokia music player does the same thing.  N9 earbuds or 5800 earbuds, no difference.  Unless I'm staring at the screen, I miss SMS and chats.
    With 5800, I was able to listen to music/audio books all day (used FolderPlay), and SMS and chat notification interrupted the playback no problem.  I don't seem to be able to do the same with N9.  Is there a solution to this?  Am I missing something in the settings?
    I'm getting desperate.  Help?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    You can try the following solutions:
    1. Uninstall and re-install the application.
    2. Update the application. If there's an available update.
    If it's still the same, then it's best to coordinate your concern with the publisher of the application. They'll be able to help you with your concern. 
    You can visit this link for the contact details of the publisher. The contact details are shown below the description: http://store.ovi.com/content/223031?clickSource=search&pos=1
    Note that you can also use the phone without the said application. 
    Hope this helps. 

  • IPhone 6 Plus keyboard in landscape - can you make keys larger?

    Hi,
    is it possible to remove the extra keys the iPhone Plus shows on both sides of the keyboard in landscape mode and instead have a larger keyboard with larger keys that takes up the whole screen?
    I have large hands/fingers and struggle to type on small screens; hence my disappointment that the iPhone 6 Plus doesn't have larger keys than the iPhone 5 or 6. I have not been able to find a setting to change this. I have also looked at third party apps but not found anything conclusive yet.
    Many thanks,
    Phil

    The keyboard size cannot be changed.  You could try a stylus pen.

  • No Landscape Mode on my iPhone 4S

    Dear community,
    Since my upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 I've lost the ability to view video, text messages, photos, podcasts or any content for that matter in landscape mode. I've tried everything i could think of without any success.
    Any ideas on how I may resolve this issue?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    trinibass.

    ok, here are the exact details for dummies like me. i followed trinibass's directions but couldn't see the locked icon. when i found it after 4,5 times, it worked. the "control center"  (the one you use for your flashlight and very few other things) is accessed by swiping up from the bottom of that pretty colorful screen w/all your apps that you usually see when accessing your phone with the manual button just below the screen. step 2, swipe your finger upwards. then you should see a gray/black/white screen. on the very top row of that screen, last icon is an old fashioned padlock. THAT is the one you click on, and voila, it unlocks your keyboard for landscape mode. however it got turned off is a mystery to me.

  • My I phone will no longer switch to landscape mode. How can I reset? Thanks!

    My I phone will not switch to landscape mode. How can I reset?
    Thanks!

    If I'm following correctly, double tap the home button. Then slide the bar on the bottom of your screen to your right where you'll see the ipod icons and and a black icon on the left. If you see an image of a lock on the black icon, it means that you are locked in portrait orientation. Simply tap the icon to unlock it and that should free up landscape mode.

  • Camera Orientation issue in landscape mode application

    Hello Team,
    I have developed one application and it is totally in landscape mode. I have one problem with opening camera in landscape mode. I have given only one orientation support "Landscape-Right" in .plist file . So that when i click Record button in my application at that time application crash and it gives me an error
    'Supported orientations has no common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate is returning YES'
    I have also read that iPhone support only Portrait mode for opening camera . In my application i have forcefully changed it to landscape using custom overlayview.
    Anyone have any idea regardig this?

    Please ignore, I have finally found the problem.
    I was initializing the UIView in my ViewController with the CGRect defined when in Portrait (bounds). So when I turned the device to go into landscape it was still using a portrait frame.
    I'm now initializing the UIView with: CGRect appFrameLandscape = CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320);

  • UIWebView in Landscape Mode Only

    Is it possible to drop a UIWebView in an app and have it view in landscape mode only. I understand and can get autorotate to work, but I'd like it to stick in landscape mode regardless of the phone's orientation.
    If so, how do I go about doing this?
    Thanks

    You need to go to the iPhone Developer website with this question.

  • How to make sure text in landscape mode appeared in portrait?, How to make sure text in landscape mode appeared in portrait?

    I think a few pictures speak a thousand words. I try to get creative and design some pages in landscape mode.
    This is how the TOC looks like in landscape. As you can see there is a chapter and many pages. I didn't use sections to make sure that they don't appeared as a list in TOC page.
    This is how Chapter page looks like.
    But when viewed in portrait mode. nothing appeared.
    How shall I make sure that at least the text in chapter page goes there?
    Thanks!

    If I add a text box, it does not seem that inline is an option.
    When I create the chapter page, the bottom part is empty, but I do not know how to add text. If I add a text box, it is not inline.
    I hope to be able to add inline text which appeared at the bottom, possible?
