Split screen keyboard in Conversations app
Reposting some information I found on the net, I've tried it and it works.
For those with splitscreen qwerty keyboard in messaging, etc, but not in conversations after applying the Symbian Anna update, there's a solution:
Open application manager and uninstall conversation appl and conversation server. Then you get splitscreen qwerty in conversations!
Thanks to the person who originally discovered this.
I can happily confirm: uninstalling those two apps and a reboot finally activated split screen for my German Anna installation! And also I confirm that before I had the old dialog symbol from PR 1.0 while after uninstalling and rebooting I now have a new Anna symbol for dialogs.
BUT: Swype is obviously NOT supporting split screen at the moment! While it does support portrait QWERTY there is no split screen even after the uninstallation procedure. It is not necessary to uninstall swype, deactivating it suffices.
Read here: LINK
Swype seems to confirm this behaviour. There might be an updated version of swype.
So we have to distinguish different problems. It seems officially confirmed that APAC installations of Anna with Chinese character support do not support split screen at all (but may do in the future).
For other versions of Anna the problem can be solved by uninstalling those two apps mentioned above.
At last - Swype does not support split screen at the current moment. Hopefully they fix this soon (I NEED Swype, it's just the best type of input).

Symbian Anna missing split screen keyboard / no sp...
Dear Nokia,
It's very good news to have symbian anna in my phone, nokia n8. IT's very well build.
However, in my country product code, Malaysia, I dont have split screen keyboard appear in every section that should appear in firmware. I have clean all my phone state in zero apps and i flash my n8 with symbian anna together with 1gb memory card content which means i have fresh , pure symbian anna without any system disturbances.
I update all symbian anna packages in software update, but split screen doesnt appear in most of my country variant.
Returning back to old PR 1.2, what we had was no smart dialler to easy contact calling. Then in symbian anna again, we still missing split screen keyboard which had been promised to be in symbian anna.
I have waited this feature for almost 8 months, but misssing this split screen is kind of dissappointment to us.
I need full explaination how exactly this missing feature happen, I wrote this not for myself, but for whole people who still miss split screen keyboard. I have fresh symbian anna, 0 apps installed, empty memory card, resulting no software conflicts.
THANKS YOU for Symbian Anna and we still waiting for this missing feature.

There is no split screen text input on any firmware that has Chinese. So Malaysian, Singapore, China and Indonesian phones all do not support split screen. Futhermore, the pinyin input does not support portriate qwerty.
If you install a firmware version which does not support Chinese, you get split screen activated. I have tested both Thailand and Indian versions, both working with split screen.
Also, the 2 software updates that come after your have installed Anna will not add portrait qwerty.
Furthermore - this issue has NOTHING to do with swype. Please ignore any message your read which mentions swype.
I'm from Malaysia, didn't get it either.
This is very upsetting! Ten months of waiting, this is what Nokia has given us? This silly reason behind not including split-keyboard in our FW variant is not even a reason at all!
It's an obviously missing feature, and they seem to have not mentioned of this in any of their marketing videos or pages. Should have at least put a disclaimer saying it's not available for us. *Misrepresentation* -
Is there any way to turn off the split-screen in the messaging app?
I'd like to be able to write SMS in full screen just like it's possible to write emails in full screen: without the sidebar! But I can't find a way to deactivate the sidebar in the messaging app on my iPhone 6 plus. And no, I'm not in the zoomed in view.
Thanks for your help!If you go into Settings> Display & Brightness> View and change it to Zoomed, it won't show the sidebar. I don't know of any way to turn it off without going into Zoomed

Help. Why des a split screen keyboard come up all ofa sudden
Pull the two ends of the keyboard together with your fingers - toward the middle of the screen. Or ... Tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
You can turn the feature off ....

I have read on the boards that the split screen portrait keyboard does not support asian language phones.
1) When is this likely to be updated? Belle or earlier?
2) Is it possible to re-install Anna on my phone (from Hong Kong) so that it is English only? Thereby getting the split screen support.
3) Is it possible to re-install the Symbian software on my E7 to english language only (thereby getting the split screen keyboard) and then update with Chinese language support?
Have to add that I am disappointed that this is not an automatic update for all phones regardless of language support.Mine does that every so often as well, and I haven't been able to find one instance of this topic where anyone has contributed anything useful.
Sometimes shutting down and leaving it alone for a while will clear out the problem. Other times when I'll open the Powerbook to as far as the hinge will let me and book up, it will return to its usual resolution, so I suspect it's some kind of hardware bug, or some kind of slippery connection.
Other that these small observances, I'm as clueless as you. -
No split screen in CONVERSATIONS
So I had Swype installed on my N8 and did an OTA update to Anna. And yes after the initial install I installed the 4 other packages (Nokia Anna 1/2, 2/2, Ovi Store & Social).
I found that I didnt get a split screen anywhere. On Googling I found that split screen only works with Swype disabled. So I uninstalled Swype.
Now I'm getting split screen in the search widget, browser, phonebook etc... but not in CONVERSATIONS (messaging app).
Any ideas on how I can fix that? I'm using the FW for India (English).
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Great,...it will make chatting flow much smoother. Will I see the split window chats with the "My Conversations" app that came on my N8? Also,...I use Swype for my keyboard,..not for the swiping feature but for the larger keys that fit my big thumbs better. I noticed something about Swype in this thread. Does Swype cause any conflicts for the new split window chats. Thanks again for the assist !

Am I the only one who used the split-screen terminal we had before Leopard? It was great for watching scrolling output since you could keep an eye on new traffic in the bottom of the screen while scrolling back and even searching in the top half of the screen.
As far as I can tell, we no longer have a split-screen option in Terminal 2 in Leopard. If anyone knows away to enable it, please post it.While tabs are nice, I don't find them that much more useful than having separate terminal windows open. Especially since the only time I normally have more than one window open is to be able to cut and paste between them. The screen command provided most of what tabs offer (with the obvious lack of the tab buttons themselves). The biggest thing I found useful with split screens is for long running programs with a bunch of output. I used the split to examine the older output while watching the newest output at the bottom of the screen. For now I use old Terminal when I need to run a program like this and the new Terminal for everything else. I haven't noticed any problems from running them at the same time.

While using bluetooth wireless on iPad, it stalls and the on screen keyboard comes up.
I just bought my iPad 2 about two weeks ago. Before that I was playing around with my parent's iPad first generation.
For both iPads, I have the same problems while using the same wireless keyboard on both of them.
1. While typing, at random times the wireless keyboard stops responding and the on screen keyboard shows up.
2. While typing, also at random times, the wireless keyboard stops responding and the same alphabet that I last typed in would multiply itself until I either press "command + A" and delete or lock my parent's iPad and iPad 2.
3. While typing, my wireless keyboard stops responding, on screen keyboard shows up, I select my on screen keyboard to hide, continued typing on the wireless keyboard, it stops responding again and my iPad2 restarts in a split second with the black backdrop and apple logo in the middle and goes to lock screen. Then everything is fine.
4. While not typing, on screen keyboard shows up at random times while bluetooth is paired to wireless keyboard and then goes back down, all this while bluetooth icon at the top screen of the iPad2 flashes.
I don't know what is wrong. At first I thought my iPad 2 has a problem but when I remembered the same problems occurred on my parent's iPad first generation, I don't know if it is just my keyboard or the iPad(s) have a problem.
Please help me!If this is only one specific app, it is a problem with that application's programming.
You can try to reset your iPad by holding down both the Home and Lock buttons for approximately 15 seconds or until the device restarts while ignoring the power slider.

Windows 8 Tablet / Touchscreen - On Screen Keyboard shortcut missing on Desktop
Hi
On a windows 7 tablet, on the desktop, if I clicked a field (e.g. in Windows Explorer) a small keyboard icon appears with a shortcut to the on-screen-keyboard (OSK).
On windows 8, this no longer appears. Instead you have to click the field, then select the OSK from the taskbar, and then click back in the field before typing.
Technical Stuff:
So far we've found that in Windows 8 there is no 'Options' window for the Input Keyboard in the Taskbar. In Windows 7 there WAS an 'Options' window which included the setting "For tablet pen input, show the icon next to the text box". This setting controlled
the shortcut icon that appears when you click in a field, and changes the following setting in the registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7\ShowIPTipTarget. This setting does not appear in the registry on a Windows 8 machine and adding it in makes no
difference.
Rant:
Within 5 minutes of issuing a new Windows 8 tablet this problem was noticed by the end user, rendering the device almost useless if you want to work at any pace - and it was promptly handed back. Very frustrating and annoying as this feature appears
to have been removed. With Windows 8 pitched directly at the tablet market, surely this setting is in there somewhere - I can't think of any reason why it would be removed.
Any help much appreciated,
AndrewI fully agree with ssxIdent and all other posters who find the new touch keyboard rather dumb.
There is no point in explaining why MS has decided to do things this or that way and what philosophic reasons they can come up with. MS needs to understand that software has to be accepted by the users and should not irritate them.
But this is irritating.
I thought one of the main concerns of MS was to be as intuitive as possible and provide a most satisfying user experiance - this is definetly not.
Has anyone at MS ever tried to e. g. rename several files in a directory with the touch keyboard? Especially when you get to the bottom of the screen. Then you not only need to have show/hide the keyboard permanently, you even have to bother moving it or
resize the window. That is NO GOOD USER EXPERIANCE!
I'd find it intuitive, if there was a way for developers in WPF or in Windows Forms to tag any UI element if it
Needs a keyboard (making the touch keyboard appear automatically) or
Would like a keyboard (showing a symbol next to the box, just like the X in WindowsStoreApps.TextBox, to trigger the keyboard or make it pop up automatically, if the keyboard had an option that can be set by the user to respond to these UI elements) or
Can have a keyboard (behaviour as is now)
Once an application was built this way, users would intuitively be able to navigate through their beloved apps haveing the keyboard at hand when they will need it anyway, being able to access it just with a twitch of the hand if they want it and not being
annoyed by it when they normally would not need it AND not being annoyed by permanently having to show/hide/show/hide that dratted thing by making miles of hand movement for nothing.
For applications that are not tailormade this way some options to adjust the keyboard behaviour would help, too. Just provide an option to hook the keyboard to any focus change, and give users a selection of options to what major control types the keyboard
should respond. For geeks you could even provide white list where they can add the GUIDs for classes the keyboard should show up automatically, a black list where the keyboard has to disappear and a gray list where the keyboard comes up on enter and disappears
on leave.
Some other thing I'm not happy with:
I know Modern UI came somehow via Windows Phone 7, but our tablets, touch enabled laptops, ... are no telephones, so why has the touch keyboard numpad have the "1" at the top left corner and not at the bottom left like every other hardware keyboard
or even the MS Windows OSK???????? In this point I contradict the explanation in the otherwise quite interesting article about the
Design Concept because typing in numbers has more often to do with maths than with telephoning or switching TV channels. And calculators have the 1,2,3 in the bottom row, as have HW keyboards. The other misconception lies therin that you don't need to find
1,2,3 quicker with your eyes when you are typing lots of numbers e. g. into spreadsheets. The fingers of HW keyboard, calculator or cash register users are so used to the conventional position of the digits that won't be easy to reshape. Additionally when
typing in quantities of numbers right handed users (90% of world population) will have the hand rest on the keyboard, the thumb on 0 and index finger, middle finger, ring finger doing their respective columns low value low down, high value high up. Who
is dialing phone numbers or changing TV channels this way? But what will users do more often with the numpad - especially when dealing with loads of input data?
Why can we not at least have digits on the alpha keyboard like on Android with long press on "Q"="1" ... "P"="0"? Password policy sometimes forces you to add digits in a PW, calling for switch alpha/num/alpha/num which
is annoying, too! Even with the peek thingy, since you need two hands.
Why is there no indication what special characters are hidden behind a long press? It's possible when you press Ctrl, despite most people already knowing what Ctrl+C means. e. g. where is the paragraph sign "§"on the touch keyboard? Or have
you left it out, so lawyers can't sue you for developing this touch keyboard ;-) You have added a set of emojos, but forgotten to put a character on that is on virtually any other keyboard??? Rather give us a layer user/developers could fill with their own
set of special characters and swap the Ctrl hints for a special character preview.
When I have my keyboard docked I can split the alpha key gaining access to the ODD numpad in the middle, but why can I not have the numpad when the alpha stays unsplit in the middle having a big black block to its left and right - there was space, why have
you not used it properly??? Nevermind feeling crowded, as mentioned in the article, give us an checkbox in keyboard options than we can decide if we want it or not. Since the article argues that users tend to get comfortable with the keyboard after a while
and needn't look at it, this "over crowded" feeling would fade away just the same. Or you might even dim it a bit when there is no finger near it.
Where are the Fn keys? Give us an option - we'll decide if we want it e. g. on the left side of the alpha block. Just as with numpad this could be dimmed, too.
I'd have a lot more suggestions to throw into this, but I fear you'll not even pick up on the easiest or most fundamental ones.
Prove me wrong! Please do! I dare you!!! -
Apple Tv (3rd Gen) On screen keyboard US Version/UK Version
I have recently bought the Apple tv from Amazon UK and was supplied with the US version, and I guess the only difference is the power cord ?
What I would like to know is on some of the on screen keyboard down the bottom right you have .com .au etc (Something like that) and if anyone who has a UK model can confirm that this is the same on their one ?
Or on the UKmodel does it have .co.uk .com etc ?
I guess it's the same on all models and the UK version doesn't have a .co.uk only .com etc ?
If someone could confirm this for me please as it would be much appreciated and put my mind at ease.
Thank you in advance
GavinHowdy vicspainhower,
It sounds like you are not seeing all the options you expect to see to be able to setup your account to view on the Apple TV. First I would restart the Apple TV, just incase it need to refresh the app info:
How to restart your Apple TV
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
If you still do not see the option you are looking for, you may need to work with ESPN directly:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

IPhone 3GS On-Screen Keyboard Problem!
The number, space bar and return key on my iPhone 3GS on-screen keyboard is not working until you tilt it to landscape mode! When I tap the number key, it activates the cap key. When I tap the space bar,depending on weather I'm taping the left, middle or right, it will activate the "X, C or B keys, respectively and when I tap the return/done key, it will activate the backspace key! This problem happened suddently about two days ago!
What on earth is the problem and can anyone please help me?
Thank you very much in advance!Try pushing the "home" button twice rapidly to get the multitasking bar to open. Hold on the icon for the app store for a few seconds until you get the option to close it. Then try reopening it and see what happens. That will probably fix it.

I have searched high and low for a fix for this that works, but have yet to find anything.
I have a Gateway laptop running Win8.1. As it is a laptop, I have absolutely no need for the on screen keyboard. However, there is no way that I have found to turn it off. It is bulky, obtrusive, and gets in the way. On a tablet or a Surface, I can see how
it would be useful, but again, I have a laptop. It's just taking up space. There should be a setting to turn it off when it is not needed.
I have found the same couple fixes listed everywhere that have supposedly worked for others and tried them, but nothing has worked. They included disabling the on screen keyboard in the ease of access center (even though it was already disabled), and opening
Services, finding Touch Screen Keyboard and Handwriting, and telling it to stop. I even changed it to a manual start-up instead of automatic, but it didn't work, no matter how many times I switched it over, hit Apply first instead of just Ok, or rebooted after
switching.
Is there any way that I could just get rid of it entirely, since I apparently can't just tell it to stop popping up? I have no need for it and would rather just be rid of it entirely if I can't hide it. An uninstall would be preferred, but if there is at
least a way to hide it for good, then that would be incredibly helpful.Presuming you are using just a laptop without a touch screen interface, you’re right – you do not need access to the on screen keyboard nor should it be popping up. If your laptop includes a touch screen interface then we have a bit more troubleshooting
to do. For the next paragraph of this response I am going with the assumption you are using a standard laptop, without any touch features.
There should be an icon in the bottom right hand corner that is shaped like a keyboard if you click it then the keyboard should disappear and reappear on each subsequent click. If the icon is not present, you can add it by right clicking on your taskbar,
selecting properties, then selecting the toolbars tab and checking the touch keyboard box. One thing that is important to note though is that if the touch screen keyboard shows on the screen, it should automatically disappear. Since the automatic disappearing
feature does not sound as though it is the case with your scenario then I am wondering if you have a corrupt install of Windows 8.1 on your system. It might be best to attempt a repair install or, on a worst case scenario basis, a clean install.
Now, if you do have a touch screen laptop and are referring to the keyboard that pops up in the Windows Modern UI apps then that’s an entirely different answer. While there isn’t a specific or documented method for turning the on-screen touch keyboard entirely,
there is a way to
effectively disable the keyboard by stopping the service that controls it.
Press the Windows key + W
Type "services," and press Enter
Scroll down to "Touch screen keyboard and handwriting panel"
You can either right click and "Stop" or you can double-click and change it from "Automatic" startup to "Manual."
"This will of course, disable both the touch keyboard and handwriting service, so you'll lose handwriting recognition. This was totally worth it to me and has made my touch screen laptop experience much better, especially when I'm using the Full Screen
Browser. I hope this helps!" -
On-Screen Keyboard and a String Control
I am experiencing some odd behavior when I use the On-Screen keyboard (OSK) and a string control.
I am developing a application that will need to use the OSK to enter in some data on a touch screen monitor with no physical keyboard. I have a Event-Driven State Machine set up to the Key Down event when a word/characters are entered and the user presses the Enter Key on the OSK. I noticed if I probe the VKey wire wuen I press the Enter Key on the OSK, it comes across as a Return press. No big deal I thought, just see if the Return Key is pressed and continue on.
When I went to test my program, I noticed that my values were displaying as if nothing was entered. Digging a little further, I noticed that my original data is still there if I press the Backspace Key and remove the Return command. Probing the string wire within the string control indicates that that the value comes back as a empty string in my string control even though my entire string is physically still there. I can press the backspace key (deleting the carriage return) and see my original text. What I think is happening is when I press the Return Key on the OSK, it inserts something and moves my text either up or down and when I use the property node to extract the data within the string control, I get a empty string.
How have you gotten around this? I'd like to hear your solutions.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Since you marked Jarle's message as the solution, I hope it means your happy and he's helped you solve your problem.
I had never seen the OSK app before. It looks like it can be very useful, but these other issues like how to programmatically get into it, or out of it with a task kill seem like they are a bit of a hack to work with something that shows so much promise.
If these issues are too big, consider making your home pop-up keyboard as a LabVIEW VI. It would be a little bit of work, but not so bad. I've made a pop-up numeric keyboard that I've used in a few apps of mine. Of course that is fewer keys to layout and deal with. And I didn't need decimals for what I was doing so I didn't have to program that which adds a little complication.
A pop-up keyboard might actually be easier, other than having 3-4 times the number of keys depending on how many symbols you need to deal with, and if you need to deal with CAPS, or CAPS lock or whatever.
There is also a chance that someone may have done something already. A google search might find something. It is likely in the NI community if it exists. If you can find something that works or is close to what you want, it might be better than using this OSK executable.
Just some ideas to toss out there. -
I am so cross because iOS 8.1 installed yesterday has ruined my iPad 2! There are now no keyboard, message or app sounds, performance is slow, juddery and strange, the battery is draining fast and the iPad no longer security locks when put to sleep. I have checked all the settings, done a number of resets and really wish I hadn't bothered and stayed with iOS 7 when it all worked like a dream. I thought that by waiting until 8.1, teething problems would have been fixed and I am just horrified that there is no going back! I am not the only iPad owner that has this set of problems so why didn't you warn us Apple! What are you going to do to help us? I do not want to be forced into buying a newer version of iPad because you broke this one!
In spite of the fact that you said you checked the settings, I still believe that you have system sounds muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
AS for your other issues, have you done any other troubleshooting like resetting your iPad, resetting all settings or doing a complete factory reset?
