Motorola Admiral :: Automatically Disable Buttons During Typing?
Apr 19, 2012
improve the design of all motorola droid phones with qwerty keyboards, to make it even more attractive to former blackberry users. i am a person who switched from blackberry to the motorola pro+ which has exactly the same keyboard as admiral, but the admiral is more popular.
problem: during fast typing on a motorola phone, accidentally pressing a button (such as search) will cause an interruption. this can be annoying if this happens repeatedly while writing a long email on the phone. the button bar is very close to the keyboad. fast typists (me on Internet: 75 wpm on phone) get frustrated, when they mistype a key that causes an interruption. this interruption flaw even more frustrating for good thumb typists that can type without looking. business users and power users are the ones that give recommendations about phones, so this would be a useful to address.
the buttons (zenu/home/back/search), and the microphone button, should be automatically disabled (for a brief moment, like 1/2 second) when typing is detected. that way, accidental presses of the buttons during fast buttons, don't cause an interruption while typing an email or text message. this could be a configurable setting, to accomodate different users.this would be a relatively unobtrusive improvement to the phone software. people don't generally hit buttons mere milliseconds after pressing keyboard keys. when the user stops fast typing, the buttons are automatically reenabled.(the delay can be extremely brief, such as 500 milliseconds or less.) so that users won't notice this change except for dramatically reduced interruptions == this could mean more good reviews for motorola keyboard phones!
precedent: the apple iphone does a similiar trick for the microphone button in its on-screen keyboarrd, if you're typing fast, then accidentally pressing the microphone button doesn't interrupt you.i would like motorola to make this improvement, or perhaps help google add this improvement to future versions of android, for future physical-keybaord phones.

Is there a way to disable the PIN? When I go into the "screen unlock security" it looks like the option I need "None" is greyed out and unavailable.

I have no use for Direct Connect on my admiral. I don't know a single person who I can use it with. I've turned it off in the settings, but is there some way to remove the icon from my icon tray? And I'd also love to be able to change the functionality of the DC hardware button.

The text-messaging app or underlying UI aggressively corrupts my messages. For example, if I enter "/tmp/" as part of a URL, this is changed to "/top/". The software fights to maintain this corruption, so that I have to enter a blank-space and then delete it to maintain the actual string that I want. I want to disable this corruption.ne of the first things that i did with this hand-set was to change the settings for the hardware and virtual keyboards, to disable auto-correction; those settings appear to be as I left them.

The capacitive buttons are garbage in my opinion and I constantly accidentally hit them. Not to mention they are backwards. I would like to disable them completely and enable the soft buttons like on the Nexus 5. Is this possible?

I have been playing with this phone for a week or so and there are a couple of things that bug me. First of all is the annoying vibration every time you touch the screen or any side buttons.Can the vibration be disabled? Secondly, I hate the default touch screen functions like music, video and pictures. I use none of these.I want to have a button that shows the recent call list from the outer screen.I can do this when I have missed a call, but how can I change or add this function to the outer screen so I can see my missed calls whenever I want not just when I have a recent missed call.I use the phone with a headset most of the time which is why I would like to do this without opening the flip.

I like this feature especially when driving, however, could it be modified to first wake the screen if it's blank then wait for a second press to end the call? If a notification appears during a call, there's no way to see it without hanging up on the caller.

I've had a strange, but very frustrating behavior on my phone twice recently. My alarm will go off, but it will not make any sound whatsoever. I have the app alarm clock extreme and the regular android alarm. During this time, neither will make any sound. The default alarm will vibrate, but alarm clock extreme will not - although it should. A soft reset will fix the problem. Additionally, my ringtones will not make any sound when someone is calling. I'm trying to remember how the behavior was this morning, but I feel like pressing the volume up and down keys while the alarm was going off first snoozed my alarm, but then beeped to let me know the volume level.

My Admiral freezes/lags when dialing/redialing and the Touchscreen is unresponsive. Its really bad on missed calls. I can hit the green dial icon 20 times in a row and nothing happens. Finally wait for about 30-60 seconds and it will dial.
I routinely reboot. Not running alot of apps. Latest firmware. I've also noticed the browser is slow to render webpages no matter how fast the connection is.

Just got a Sprint Admiral, paired my bluetooth with it easily enough (Blueant T1), but at random, the phone will disconnect and reconnect bluetooth.I have actually watched the bluetooth icon go dark, then light back up so I know it is not an issue with the earpiece itself. It is becoming very annoying, and talking to others who have this phone, they have reported the same issue with other bluetooth earpieces.

I just recently bought the Motorola MOTOACTV because I have the Motorola Admiral, and they are supposed to be able to work together. However Google Play states that the Motorola Admiral and the MOTOACTV app are not compatible. And while the latest release states that the MOTOACTV app should work with all Android 2.1 and higher, the Motorola rep that I called (level two, ID 5545142) states that the app will only work with the RAZR, which is contrary to everything put out about the MOTOACTV. I'd be interested to know if this is correct.

I have an issue with my BB Tour.When I woke up this mourning and took my bb off the charger.I notice there were HLhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhhlhl type on my bb so I tried to press the esc button and the end button and it didn't work. So I did a Battery pull and let it load up...and that when i found out that my trackball wasn't working.then all a sudden it started to type the HLlhlhlhlhlhlhhlhlh again.So I did a another battery pull and it did it again.So I wiped the phone decided to install 5.0 on my phone and I get the same thing.The only thing I did before my phone went hay wire was a couple days prior.I downloaded a couple free themes and screen saver from BB App World.I thought by doing the battery pull and wipe I would fix it but didn't. I know I didn't get my phone wet or anything can anybody explain this?

Is there any way of disabling the media buttons on the side? (play/pause, previous, next). Or to set them to operate only with long press. Or to set them to trigger something rather harmeless. My father doesn't use them that much. Besides, he finds himself pressing them too easily and oops there it goes the radio blasting through the loudspeaker.

I managed to disable the back button by going to /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and adding # in front of key 139 menu and key 158 back but the recents button still works after rebooting. This was the old method when the left button was a menu not recent apps button. Which button number is for recents?

I am on the Mobilicity network which has a bit spotty coverage in some areas and the phone can roam several times a day for a short time when traveling about the city or when on the edge of coverage. My Mobilicity plan has unlimited data while in their native network but the roaming rates for data are extremely high. It is surprising how quickly the charges add up when out of coverage for a very short time. Selecting Disable Data While Roaming turns off the BB data while roaming, but not WAP data. I would like to automatically disable ALL data while roaming so that when out of coverage there will be no data charges but when back in coverage the phone will have access to all data services. I realize that the phone could be set to the Mobilicity network only but I wish to be available by phone and SMS, even when out of Mobilicity coverage. I would like the operation to be automatic since this situation is not quite the same as going for an international trip and it is impractical / incovenient to manually turn the data services on and off manually throughout the day.Is there a setting in the 9780 or a connection manager app that would take care of all of the data connections while going in and out of roaming?

How to disable the "car mode" feature on the desire model? It turns itself on automatically and when I try to disable it it just turns back on again, it's been going on for weeks and is really annoying because it turns on the loud speaker automatically. There is no mention of a car mode facility in the user guide.

Is there a way to disable the lock and mute buttons on the top of the BlackBerry Bold 9700? I just received my new windshield cradle that grips it from top and bottom, and the buttons are invariable pressed accidentally for a variety of reasons. Perhaps an application that can shut them off, or some type if setting?

It's actually starting to get annoying. what is happening is the downloaded ringtones that i have had for about 4 phones now are not working correctly, but thats not the weird part. the thing is its only for CALLS, and thats it. Any kind of phone call ringtone (default or contact) is not working after about half a day of being unplugged from the charger, and the only way to correct this is restart the phone. is anyone else having this problem? It also seems it does it to the ringtones that came with the phone, but just phone calls. TXT, facebook

how to sync Outlook with the Motorola Admiral? I haven't had much luck and it's starting to look as though it might not be possible outside of expensive additional software. I cannot imagine a business phone would be made without that simple function.
