[Q] Droid 4 Stopped responding to touch input topic

A month ago I ended a call with Verizon custotmer service only to find the touchscreen on my D4 had stopped working. There was no ghosting, no other problems I knew of at the time besides a speaker that wouldn't work. Rebooting didn't work. Factory reset didn't work. The only thing different was that the phone had recently upgraded to Jellybean. Now when the phone is rebooted the WiFi automatically comes on. I could still use it attached to the lap dock, or by using the keyboard to bypass the touchscreen. I switched to my backup phone and searched for answers.

I ended up getting a new-to-me D4 from eBay. I took the slider half of the phone with the screen and switched the whole thing to my D4. Phone
was fixed, seemed to be fine.

Today rooted my phone. All was well until I was playing a game, then again the touchscreen just stopped working. I am at an utter loss, what happened to the touchscreen? Neither one was dropped, both had screen protectors on and were in cases. I was using the phone at the time both times. The picture is clear, screen uncracked. I just can't get it to accept touch input anywhere on the screen. And the WiFi is turning on again when I restart the phone.

I have never seen this happen before on any other phone, I have heated the glass and pressed where the flex cable is in case of a loose connection, nothing happens. Removing the sim and SD cards didn't help either. Any suggestions or fixes? Will replacing the glass again fix it, or should I try a factory reset again? Stock ROM, rooted jellybean, using atrix lap dock to type this.

Tasker profile to change input to Swiftkey on reboot topic

Hi,
I use SwiftKey ($) as my standard keyboard on the S3 since the built in keyboard mostly stinks. But the one problem is the input method reverts to the Samsung keyboard when the device reboots. I searched around & couldn't find exactly what I was after, so thought I'd post my solution here to pay it forward. :angel:

Requirements:
Rooted phone (using SuperSU free)
Tasker ($)
Secure Settings (free)
Busybox (free)

Process:
0. before starting, install Secure Settings, go to system+ tab, click to enable. It will help you get busybox if not installed. Once installed, again go to system+ tab and get it Enabled.
1. create a tasker "Event" profile
2. Event type is System>Device Boot. There are no options here, tap to go back
3. New task, give it a name ("Change Input Method" is good)
4. + to create an action, then Task>Wait. I put 40 seconds here. This is the delay after reboot before tasker goes & changes the method. It takes a while for my phone to be ready to roll after a reboot. YMMV. Tap top left to go back.
5. Now + to add another action and select plugin
6. Secure Settings, pencil to modify configuration
7. System+ Actions>Input Method, tap to select the input method (Swiftkey for me but this could be anything you want).
8. Click the save icon.

That's it. Try rebooting and see if the input method is changed to Swiftkey after the reboot. Works for me! Enjoy! :laugh:

[Q] Input for going S-Off topic

Ive been S-On for years now with no issues, currently 2.09 and 3.15. Running Sense 5 Y10 with ElementalX Kernel. I was curious if there are any advantages to having the latest firmware which means going S-Off ?? Like I said, its running fine and snappy with no glitches, PRL updates, but with newer ROMS coming out, I dont know if it will conflict with my older firmware, Also if I do go S-Off, can I keep my current Sense 5 rom ? Thanks for any input, Im kind of old school and if it aint broke, dont fix it. ;)

disable finder/hand input topic

Hey guys,

is there any possibility to disable finger/hand input in polaris office and ezpdf, so I only can write with the s pen, like in snote.
In snote there is an option to just write with s pen and only activate zoom via fingers.

I hope you can understand what I`ve meant.

Greetings

Language Input? topic

I am on a rooted nexus 5 and was wondering if anybody has ever heard of a way to add additional languages to Google keyboard for gesture typing other then the 26 already supported languages.

Is there ANY way to add an entire word list to the custom dictionary or anything like this at all?

[Q] Samsung Keyboard no longer has Chinese input language after hard reset topic

:eek:
Hi all, wondering if anyone has the same incredibly frustrating problem.

I'm using a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105

I used to use the Samsung Keyboard with English and the Chinese language input (downloaded in it's language settings).

But after a hard rest (My phone had recently updated itself to 4.3 with no change) I no longer have Chinese as a downloadable language.

WHY is this so annoying... Becuase if I use another keyboard that has chinese I can't swap between it and the Samsung Keyboard in Keyboard. The Samsung has to be selects in the phone setting and can't be selected as one of many keyboards.

The reason why I wish to use the Samsung keyboard is becuase of its great swipe input function. I have not found another keyboard that has swipe in English and Chinese input funtionality.

Which means I can never using any combo of keyboards swap easily from chinese to swipe english keyboard. Aarrgghh!!!!!

I think It has something to do with the locale version of the 4.3 android os. I heard that different locales have different downloadable language options. But why has mine sudenly changed!

Anyone?
