Virtual keyboards on touch screen phones

Hi, Can I activate virtual keyboard in a touch screen phone using J2ME? My application (developed using J2ME) takes input through keyboard in a textbox (this textbox is a custom item and drawing on a Canvas). I can't use my application on a tocuh phone, because i need the activate virtual keyboard.How can i open/close the virtual keyboard for entering text in touch phone?

Just an untested suggestion. Maybe you could Display#setCurrent a TextBox (or a Form containing just one TextField) when your CustomItem receives the focus. Then the touch screen device's implementation should take care of launching the keyboard as appropriate. You would need a Command (e;g; 'Done') to return to the Canvas.

Lumia 2520 keyboard and touch screen won't match

I have a very strange problem with my Lumia 2520. I bought the keyboard for my Lumia 2520 and for a while everything worked well. But now more often than not I can no longer use the normal touch screen at all - or the keyboard. If I start the tablet without the keyboard, it might not respond to normal usage via touch and I actually have to insert the tablet into keyboard to have any use for it at all. And sometimes even when the tablet is inserted in the keyboard the keyboard won't respond and the only way to get the blasted thing to work is to use the touch screen.
Has anyone else experienced this sort of trouble? If so, did you simply recover the factory settings and start from there? Or what else did you do?

Hi Tiriol,
Welcome to the forum!
Did something happen to the tablet or keyboard before this issue came up? Make sure that your Lumia 2520 running the latest software. You can check this link for the steps on updating the Lumia 2520's software: Software Update for Nokia Lumia tablet with Windows RT.
Hope to hear your feedback soon.

Searching For a Reliable Touch Screen Phone

The family is moving up to the share everything plan and we are shopping for 2 smart phones. Outside of the Iphone, is there a particular model that has the fewest touch screen freeze issues?
Jack

The iPhone is great choice and in regards to another quality device I would recommend the Droid Razr. The Droid Razr is the thinnest 4G LTE smartphone, has a scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass screen, and a water-repellent nanocoating to protect against water and everyday spills.
I have the Droid Razr as a personal phone and have never ran into freezing issues; overall it has been a great device. That is just my opinion though, you will want to make sure you pick a phone that matches your needs and usage, but the Droid Razr is a good place to start.
Thank you,

Keyboard and Touch Screen both not working

Hi everyone.
My dog got to my palm pre and put a crack in the screen. I ordered a new one on Ebay.
So I disassembled the phone, and reassembled it using Youtube videos. No spare screws or parts so I'm pretty sure I did it correctly.
The touchscreen looks great now, but is completely unresponsive.
The keyboard is almost as bad, but if you hit the buttons eventually one might come up on the screen, and the symbol screen keeps popping up repreatedly.
Did i reassemble it incorrectly? Any suggestions? Thank You!

Touch screen phone without data plan

Moved for greater exposure

The Samsung u370 which is available at non-Verizon corporate stores (e.g., Target); it is also sold at Walmart under the name that's something like "re-release Reality)"
http://community.vzw.com/t5/Basic-Phone-Discussions/Samsung-Reality-vs-Samsung-u370/td-p/467684/highlight/true/page/13
"I have just gotten my samsung reality for .95 cents at Walmart 7 days ago (8-11-11). what I found out buy calling verizon and some on line reserch was that verizon does not sell the Reality or the sch u370 but only outside venders. [...] After purchasing it and removing it from the box, which says Reality all over it, the phone part # is SCH U370 on the ID plate on the phone."
Very few complaints on this forum about it. There are about only three that I have:
- wallpaper has to be stored in the phone's internal memory. When wallpaper is stored on the memory card, the phone will usually revert back to the stock wallpaper
- music playback is fine as long as you listen to music through either the phone's speaker or through bluetooth headphones/headset. When you listen to music through plugged-in headphones/headset, there is a high likelihood that the phone will freeze or stop reading the memory card; rebooting the phone resolves either the freezing or the memory card reading problem.
- when you use the file viewer feature, there is a non-removeable banner that says that the file viewer software was intended for a model u820 and that this phone is not a model u820

Virtual keyboard in thai

Hi,how i could get into nokia X6-00 thai virtual keyboard. I bought phone in UK just i need that add or change in there....
Thanks a lot

Solution for this was:
Nokia Messaging connects to Hotmail accounts through MSP protocol, which has limited language support. Thai language is not supported by this protocol as of now.
So if you decline "Terms and Service" during setup hotmail to define direct access to email, Thai is supported when sending emails.

Cannot answer calls using touch-screen

I am using G900, it is a touch-screen phone, I am unable to answer calls using the touch-screen option.
1) Is there any update required for the software for the same to work.
2) Can I change the settings in the mobile to answer calls using some key on the keypad.
Thanks

One question, does the touchscreen works on everything else?

Touch screen vibration.

The touch screen vibration of Nokia C6-00 is very high when if it is always in level 1. I checked all Nokia C6-00. But i can see the same thing. Other touch screen phones have good smooth and low touch screen vibration. I search somany softwares to control this problem. But cant find anything. Any solution do u hav for this?

Hi JashiNlk,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately vibration intensity can be only set in the settings and if the lowest setting is still too high for you, there is no option but to completely switch it off or just endure it. Also, as far as I am aware, there is no application that would allow you to change the vibration intensity "low level" features such as this. One possible solution would be to get a case and a screen protector for your phone, it may dampen the vibration a bit.
Let us know how you get on,

Physical keyboard not working, touch screen not working on Torch 9800

I've had this phone a little over a year. First, my physical keyboard stops working. It is the one I use the most. I wasjust using the virtual keyboard and when I was watching tv, I decided to turn my phone on to check it (as I usually keep it on silent.) I turned it on and the touch screen would not work for me. I opened the physical keyboard, and it is working fine now, as is the track pad, but I cannot use the touch screen by actually touching it. Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it?
**Edit** I checked my phone right after I posted it and now neither are working.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck!

HELP: iPhone 6 Keyboard/Touch Screen Not Working

Hello.
I recently acquired to an iPhone 6, which has been working properly for the last two weeks. Today, my keyboard/touch screen stopped working properly. When I am typing in iMessage, or trying to compose an email, enter a URL, or anything else that requires my touch keyboard, my "123" button that switches to numbers, punctuation, and special characters does not open. I updated my software to iOS 8.3., which switched to a new and "improved" emoji keyboard, but I did this after my keyboard had already become unresponsive. If I click on the emjoi keyboard icon to switch over, the "ABC" button to swtich back to QWERTY is unresponsive. This is REALLY frustrating! The phone is two weeks old, and I cannot use to for a huge chunk of functionality.
It's not a dead spot on the touch screen. When I am not trying to access the keyboard, that little bottom left corner works fine to open/use my Phone app.
I really don't want to reset my phone. Any other ideas?
I made a Genius Bar appointment for next Wednesday 4/15, but that seems like an eternity from now.
Please help!

To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the Touch Screen . If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

I dropped my phone and the very bottom of the touch screen does not respond. would i need to get the screen replaced or is there another way?

I've dropped my phone quite often, and the back of the phone is cracked, but I haven't bothered to fix it. I dropped my phone again today, and a tiny bit chipped off near the top edge of my phone. Later when i got home, I couldn't unlock my phone except when I slid my finger across the very top of the arrow and it JUST opened. but I can't use the bottom now, so on the keyboard, I can't type with the space bar and anything else at the very bottom of the touch screen.

At Apple Store for $149 you can get a replacement iPhone 4 which will be just like New. Everything will work perfect and the there will be no chips or cracks. New battery and buttons too. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple.

Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
What version of BlackBerry Device software are you using on the Torch?

Wireless Keyboard for Touch Phones

Why not nokia should introduce wireless mini keyboard for touch phones?
If you like my post or think it was useful then please hit the star button. Thanks :-)

Here's what I've noticed: I used to use a keyboard with my T5. The keyboard setup screens on the T5 and Centro look about the same and both have a ON/OFF "button" the user must click on to activate the keyboard software in the Palm. I suppose the user could always leave the keyboard software ON, but I'm in the habit of turning things off when not in use. If the Centro user has already paired the keyboard and Centro, and if the user has turned OFF the keyboard software in the Centro, a Bluetooth pairing screen appears when the keyboard software is turned ON for the next use. This requires the user to search and pair the devices again. However, if the user does NOT turn the keyboard software off, or if the Centro's power saving shutoff occurs after being idle for a while, the pairing seems to be remembered when turning the Centro back on. I haven't tested this for "long" periods of being idle or OFF, nor have I tested this after folding up the keyboard. There doesn't appear to be any ON/OFF button on the keyboard itself, which seems strange. I don't know if the keyboard just times out when it realizes it's not communicating with another Bluetooth device after a while or what. I've only used the keyboard briefly so I'll learn more with time.

My iPod Touch screen is so sensative that when I have my finger right above the screen, not touching it, it will open the app or click on the letters on the keyboard that I have not touched. How to stop this?

All of a sudden my iPod Touch 4 Gen (got for Christmas in 2012) has started behaving strangely. When I go to type on the virtual keyboard I don't even have to touch the screen and the iTouch starts acting as if it's possessed and will start typing those letters that I'm hovering my finger over ... and it's usually not the letter I want. Has anyone ever had this happen? It's very frustrating.

First make sure your fingers and screen are clean. After that all yo can do is:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

[FEATURE REQUEST] Multi touch virtual keyboard

It is painfully slow to write on virtual keyboards. You need not only the time to put your finger down but also up and that makes your typing about twice slower. It is one of the most important features a multi touch enabled phone must have! Please let us out of stone age and take advantage of the wonders of multi touch enabled phones, otherwise I could just buy a simple single touch phone to have the same feature.

exactly. i find it to be one of the BASIC functions of a virtual keypad.
furthermore, the control over the caret should definately be improved. besides the arrows, there should be an option to drag it around as well (the option to tap si impractical, because it is not precise with my finger covering 4-5 letters when small font is used). and, even more importantly, to mark a word (e.g. for copy+paste operation) is really problematic! i can't see where the caret is while i drag the finger over some text. the same problem.
take inspiration in the red O browser for mobile devices, and i think the green robot phones also have the caret-control feature, not sure about other devices...
please! i bought nokia because i do not need all the games and apps and stuff, but need the basic things like e-mailing, phone functionality etc. to be perfect. the lack of features i described makes the phone feel .... outdated and clumsy.
thank you !
edit: i forgot to mention, I am using the 700 with Symbian Belle
