I was wondering if it's hard for the devs to implement a lockscreen delay as a default like CM7.

Right now you can buy or install extra stuff to make it work. But it would of course be the best to have one included. I am on a SGS2

I was just wondering.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopers1222:
This is basically a service or app that runs in the background that works with the device's proximity or light sensor. So when something comes up very closely to the sensor, it assumes a lid of some sort is being closed so the display is then disabled.

There's a free Android app that may work out:

It looks like people have gotten it to work with the HTC Flyer and the Motorola Xoom.

You could attach a small magnet where it is positioned 1.875 from the right side of the pad and .5 above the clock. This would shut the screen off like the dock does.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroTrain:
This worked a couple of times but too flakey. The folio case has magnets along the edge flap but this magnets maybe not strong enough. I don't have the dock but didn't know there was a mag on the tablet to auto shut off when it closes with the dock.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tengtengvn:
I tried this but it doesn't work. Do you need a strong magnet for it to work? I used the one from one of my old cellphone cases.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordgodgeneral:
Did you flip it over and check to see if the polarity makes a difference?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
Yes you need a 1/4x1/8 rare earth magnet not a standard one. I have put that size one in my wife's folio case and it works. Also move it around in that area for the exact trigger point.

-Mark
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroTrain:
Would this work? Can you show pics of how you attached the magnet on the folio case, I see some glue or sewing required.

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/super-strong-rare-earth-re-magnets-8mm-20-pack-4248

Just curious this only turns off the device how about like the Ipad 2 when the flap is opened would it turn the device on?

If no, since the sensor to shut off the device is already on the tablet can this be tweeked to have it turned on? Oh, Asus . . .
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
That looks like it should work.

ASUS designed the dock with a magnet to trip the hall sensor in the Pad.

I have been playing with another Pad and his does not trip without having the dock but mine and my wife's does. His is a new B50 Pad and we have B40 Pads the very first ones and I have tinkered with them. There seems that there is a change somewhere or rooting did something butI don't think so.

We are going to explore this some more as he want his to trip with the folio cover.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalundone:
Hey, just a heads up and if anyone else can keep an eye out for this...

I'm on German Generic w/ GB 2.3.3. I was charging on USB (usually do this while at work).

I plugged it in at 47%, checked it about 10 minutes later and saw it drop from 37% - 36%. WTF, i know, right? I re-plugged the phone and it's back up to 41%

I'm uncertain if it's due to the OS still trying to determine the correct battery percentage or if it really was draining. But if anyone else can double check their X10 when charging, it would be helpful if there is a problem.

Thanks!

[Fascinate General] ochuni3:
Quick question im trying to do my bro's phone (i have an epic so im a lil unfamiliar with the fascinate) its been a long time since i have done anything to his phone and i believe that he is in superclean 2.9.2. Well i tried flashing today the latest build and got stuck in a bootloop (mind you he's in red recovery) so i flashed an earlier build and everything went fine it even flashed cwm 4 so i left him thinking he was good. The thing is now he calls me and is telling me thats he is not able to make phone calls and it saying that he has no reception. so with the little bit of research i have done im thinking of oding him to ed05 fully and flashing cwm 4 and then trying to flash the latest build of miui. any help would be greatly appreciated :D

[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
What I sent earlier today:

Only been playing around 30 minutes, so will try to send a longer one after using a few days, but some quick thoughts:

- I kept typing "This is a test" to see if the keyboard would learn. I know on Swiftkey (which I own) that the first time I type it, it's the default next time (ie, when I type "This" then "is" "a" "test" will all be top suggestions in that order.

On TouchPal, the word "Test" didn't show the first couple times, then it did show on the right, and slowly moved to the left of suggestions - so I think it's learning. I don't know how the settings are, but might need some tweaking.

- With tracing turned on, you obviously can't slide down on letters to get alternate symbols :) But holding down works just fine. Likewise, with tracing on, you don't get to see the predicted next word until you hit a space.

The problem with that - with tracing keyboards I usually do trace-trace-trace, never hitting the space bar. Spaces are auto-entered. To get the next-word predition, I have to do trace-space (see if the word I want is on the list & if not go back to tracing). I'll have to try this for a few days, but right now it's faster to just trace the next word I want then hit the space & see if the word I want is up there.

On, with tracing on, no idea how to change keyboard layouts.

- Toolbar area, please change the buttons. Make the language one be settings with one click & language with 2 clicks. I don't need another settings button where words will be. Likewise, I don't need a tutorial button there. I do like the middle buttons for cut/copy/arrows. Maybe a button to turn tracing on/off or change layouts?

- Percise mode. One of the BIGGEST things I use in SlideIT is the ABC/Sliding button so I can turn off tracing and go to exact input. Very useful for web page addresses, user name, password, names - anything where you temp. need your exact clicks. Maybe make your TouchPal symbol a toggle to turn this mode on & off.

- Is it me, or is the bottom left A/Book button the same as the Shift button?

===========================

The reply:

Thanks for the feedback! Here're some quick response:

Please note that in the example, "a" is followed by "test". There are many possible words after "a", so inputting "a test" for once doesn't necessarily mean you will have "a test" in the next time. If "test" is promoted too fast, this would be a disturbing option. If you try some other combination, such as "This is a quick test", I believe "test" will be immediately promoted after you input "quick".

That's true. Because we need to give you an option to change the traced word first.

Slide from the toolbar button, such as shift key.

You do have such a toggle button on the left-bottom-corner with A and a book (indicating dictionary). Is it not obvious enough? Do you have a better suggestion?
[Android Apps and Games] dh2311:
My verdict.

I like it but currently swype is better.

Improvements

* the ability to add words to dictionary by manually typing it.

* Auto correct is to sensitive. A slight delay when typing gives you an extra letter. swype is smoother.

* auto capitalisation after fullstop

* symbols done the usual way, its a nice idea but annoying when having to scroll through pages, try to add more on each page.

to be honest i thought i would type this with TouchPal so i could see bugs whilst typing, and I'm starting to like it. autocorrect the only annoyance

Swyped from my MIUI Galaxy S II
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
As far as I can tell, it already does that. Type a word (no matter whether you are in dictionary mode or not), and next type you are typing it it will suggest the word. Or when swiping it next time, it will also come up.

My comments:

I agree with most of the things that are posted here. I had one

crash

of touchpal today, it occured while i tapped and hold the backspace key to get rid of a few lines of text. Touchpal closed and didn't give me an option to send a crash log, unfortunately. Tried it a few times more, and sometimes when "backspacing" a lot of text, it will crash. Pretty reproducible.

I just don't completely understand the dictionary button, I don't find a difference in behavior whether it's turned on or off?

And when clicking a word (that was a mistake), it would be neat if other suggestions would come up so you can easily correct it, like swype does.
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Thusfar, I think SlideIT (my normal keyboard) is better. My big thing is wanting the next word suggestion but I can't see an easy way of doing it and suggesting fixes for the Slide.

My only thought so far would be to split the suggestion line and make the first 2-3 suggestions fixes for the current word and then the next 2-3 words suggestions for the next word. Color code them so you know which are which.

I suppose you could also do two lines and let the user decide which one or both they want to see.

I will keep this one as my default for at least a week to see how it goes. I've found some other differences that would require adjustment. Spacing particularly going from single taps to tracing and back seems to be a bit inconsistent.

For a beta version, it's running pretty smooth. Suggestions and improvements can always be added :)
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I was trying to type 'sim' today and it absolutely would not let me. When I hit the s key, it typed an a. No amount of tweaking would work. If I managed to get the s to work, I'd type an i and then tried to type the m, but it automatically inserted 'sin', and would not let me type 'sim'. Very frustrating.

Plus, there is a typo - I can't find it now, but somewhere the word 'editing' is misspelled 'editting' (two t's).
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
That reminds me - any way to remove a word entered by accident?

This app makes me miss Ultra Keyboard, wonder how he's doing. That was the one that tried to cram in every dang option from every keyboard out there. I seem to remember that the tracing was pretty bad at getting the correct word, but sure had a lot of options. Don't think it had next word prediction though.
[Android Apps and Games] Francois88:
This is my review I posted on reddit

Here is my review after ~1 hour of playing with it

I know I can come off as bashing this, but I'm not. I'm just giving my honest, personnal impression of this beta. I'll also be comparing it to swype only since it's its main competitor

PROS

- The install was flawless (no registration or anything for now). Swype is annoying for this, particularly when it fails to generate license or w/e. Flashing new roms regularly on my phone, I've had a good share of failed installs of swype. Pain in the ass to remove as it's usually a system app (not uninstallable without Root explorer/Titanium Backup/etc.)

- I haven't seen crashes/bugs

- It has been fully responsive without a hint of slowdown unlike swype (sometimes I get a slight lag on swype)

CONS

- I couldn't find the "blank keyboard" shown in the video. I'm thinking it was just a way for them to show you can type blind with the keyboard

- The predictions are pretty bad for short words (2-4 letters). Swype is also not so great at this, but usually better

- The default dictionary seems like it needs much more training than swype. I frequently flash new roms on my phone and usually I barely have to train swype to get to a satisfactory level when typing. This wasn't the case. I'd say swype predicts correctly about 70-80% of my words out of the box while Touchpal is probably around 50-70%.

SWYPE VS TOUCHPAL

Here is some unscientific tests I did with a few sentences with both keyboards out of the box. Using "swype" method and not tapping amongst the suggestions (letting the keyboard pick its best guess)

"Why are you so mad?"

* TOUCHPAL: Whiff ate youtube sop mad?

* SWYPE: Why are you so mad?

"Reddit is the place to be"

* TOUCHPAL: Reaffirm its the place to be

* SWYPE: Freddie is the place to be

"This is a test of an android keyboard"

* TOUCHPAL: This its the testy of android keyboard

* SWYPE: This is a test of an android keyboard

"Let's do one more test for Reddit"

* TOUCHPAL: Lewis dull one mower test for restitution

* SWYPE: Let's do over more test for refit

TL;DR

Promising but swype still far "better". I'm hoping for improvement as I hate Swype installation.
[Android Apps and Games] dh2311:
i agree with what you say, TouchPals correction is poor, tries too hard to find what you're trying to say, shouldn't try to lengthen words, just ends up guessing words that begin around where you started. its a good idea but flawed by its predictions. shouldn't go longer than amount of letters you stopped on

Swyped from my MIUI Galaxy S II
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Quick questions:

Is it me or with tracing on, is there a way to quickly change keyboard layouts (from full keys to TouchPal+ to T9)?

Is there a way to do tracing while in TouchPal+ mode (2 letters per key)?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
After using this for a while, I agree with a lot of the comments here.

1. The auto-correction is too sensitive. Always giving me words that I am NOT often using even as I swype over and over again.

2. I cannot seem to swype words like "Haha" "Hehe" "Lol". Can't even seem to add them to dictionary. It never seems to learn that I like to use those words often.

3. I set my Keyboard Layout in Portrait to FULL QWERTY. When I am on an active telephone call and I want to use the keyboard, it will auto switch to 12-Key PhonePad for me.

So for now, I am still sticking to Swype app. =) Oh I hope there's a quick way to tap the :-) to have a smiley inserted immediately rather than tapping that Smiley > Going into a Smiley Menu > Tap a Smiley. Swype can do it it in one tap of a button.
[Android Apps and Games] jmbradd:
Currently reinstalling after a reflash earlier but i've got to say what stood out the most (negative) was the desire to lengthen words. I understand that its a great feature to type "ackn" and get "acknowledge" but so many times i'm trying to write something simple and the first suggestion will always be much longer and obscure (can't remember the one earlier for "hey").

Maybe some sort of gesture to let the keyboard know you're trying to write a longer word using less keystrokes? I don't know how many words start with double letters, maybe a quick double tap on the first letter before sliding? Trying to think of situations where that would be worse than what we're experiencing.

Given that this is a phone/tablet keyboard and most users right now are on phones using this for texting and/or quicker e-mails, I think you are more likely to see people simplifying their speech automatically rather than trying to swype a really long word like "got it" instead of "acknowledge"

Will post more meaningful thoughts when I get a chacne to play with it some more
[Android Apps and Games] do0b:
2 things that really bug me:

- not able to correct a word when i tap on it. have to delete the whole word and re-swipe it.

- not able to input custom words.
[Android Apps and Games] LemonPlusTea:
yeah.. tried to send feedback via the email they gave and it bounced back twice. :l
[Android Apps and Games] drpsyko:
TouchPal, it was doing great until it comes to learning new words. The promotion system sucks as the word I really use often move very slowly to the blue recommendation box. For those who are fast typist, use super simplified words, this app is not meant for you. Its a damn slow learner. But can be fixed if they implement SMS learning in it. Plus, if I edit some existing word, it will just create another new word, without taking the existed word into account. Even if I just want to add an -es into it. :(
[Android Apps and Games] xdahgary:
Really annoying to hit space after every word. Especially with a small space bar. Need continuous swyping!

thanks for adding me to the beta team.

i could use it for daily use if the german dict would also be released. so i only can test a few sentence because i only use english 5% of my typings.

a must have for me also is a configurable smiley button. want to change some smilies.

the thing i also miss is: when typing some words, and you want to correct a word typed 3 words before, that you put the cursor somewhere into the word and get the correction list as in smartkeyboard pro.

i would also like to see the cursor arrows all the time like in smartkeyboard pro. optionally.

[Android Apps and Games] Ultro:
I'd like to add this in case any Epic 4G users happen to read. I found that TouchPal affected my hardware keyboard by making the 'fn' and 'shift' keys lose their functionality. I was unable to capitalize letters and make symbols with it. Was fine before I installed TouchPal, and it was fixed after I uninstalled TouchPal. Tried re-installing it several times to see if it was just a mishap, but after 6 times the problem was always there.

Current build is Froyo 2.2.1, [EC05]SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2, Twilight 1.1.1 Kernel.

Other than that, some very nice features. Love the up/down slide on keys for capital letter/number/symbol shortcut. Would love if a future version had full text shortcuts when pressing they key and scrolling up, down, left or right. For now though, no go. I need my slide-down keyboard :3
[Android Apps and Games] nwo122383:
I have the same problem as ultro with the keyboard. When I have touchpal set as the kb I lose function and shift key. But when I long press and choose a differend kb as the input method they work again I tried this with flext9, swype, and the default keyboard and they did not have this bug. Otherwise this kb seems pretty good
[Android Apps and Games] kevho00:
I don't like the keypad. I think swype is 10 times better. And swype 3 beta is so much better, just saying
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
I need to know how we go about getting updates for it...
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
So turn it off in the settings...

This is what I find disappointing. I thought it would use some intelegence in trying to figure out which word you swiped, not guess what word I want next. I find it slows me down to keep looking what it wants to guess.

e.g. If I start a sentence "we need to", TouchPal thinks my next word might me 'test', 'control' or 'try' and I swipe something it thinks is 'testy' it should perhaps adjust this to 'test'?
[Android Apps and Games] indesisiv:
There are just a couple of things with this keyboard that i find.

Firstly I want it to predict my words it's actually quite good at this. However I really need the ability to turn off the accept word by pressing space bar. I just need to be able to select the word.

Also the ability to remove some of the settings and language buttons at the bottom would be good. I use one language and if i want to change the setting i will go through the menu. I just want the space bar to get bigger.

Other than that i quite like the keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] gerbetta33:
How do I activate the mode where it is just a blank canvas, but you can swype and it will still work? Almost as if the keyboard were invisible? It is shown in the movie, but I can't find it. It is one of the main reasons I want to give this a go.

I'm having issues typing, where if i start typing really fast, sometimes if i press two places at once, it 'swypes' between both keys pressed, resulting in unwanted words. I text a LOT and if I have to slow down in order to use it properly, then I will just stick with HTC_IME. But to be honest, it may just be my device (optimus v)

The swype portion of this is excellent though, just regular typing is messed up.
[Android Apps and Games] gerbetta33:
Also, when I click the smiley face button, in the bottom left corner, there is a lock symbol, when I click it, it changes the icon to unlock, but what does that do?
[Android Apps and Games] imhuy:
I am a big Smart Keyboard Pro user and here's a few things I miss from it and also a few features that would be nice:

-Double space inserts period (SKP)

-Top and hold words in suggestion bar to add to keyboard rather than auto-add (sometimes I type words only once and don't want it in my dictionary)(SKP)

-Auto-insert space after selecting from suggestion bar when tap typing

-Choice to disable auto-cap

-Choice to disable some buttons around spacebar, voice button

-Skin with more space in between letters (forces users to poke more precisely subconsciously)

-At this moment SKP is much better at tap typing prediction by far because you can press any letter AROUND the letter you want not just the letters left and right of it

-Swap punctuation and space after a word
[Android Apps and Games] rjax:
I was using this a little bit today to enter some numbers and really would've liked for the number-only keyboard to include a space bar and a return key.
