How to get large keyboard???

[Ariel222]

Hi All....I've seen some people with a larger keyboard on the screen so they can just use their fingers to type. I feel dumb here, but can't figure out how to get the large keyboard up for gtalk and email and such. Thanks. :confused:

Click an area with your finger and the full screen keyboard will just appear. It seems that the N800 can tell the diffrence between a stylus tap and a finger press.

The menus will also respond with larger type to finger touch.

WOW!!! That is just way too cool. :) Thanks!!!! :):):) You have made me very very happy.

Glad to be of assistance. The large keyboard is not all that bad, especially if you get used to the predictive suggestions.

I think even iPhone does not have that cool feature... AFAIK :cool:

you can also toggle between the 2 keyboards by pressing the button in the center of the Dpad

Note to Nokia. They ought to take a page from Apple. Videos of the thing doing things helps much.

Only if you set that option in Control Panel.

OK, now where do I find that option in the Control Panel? I Looked at all the options and did not recognize it. :confused:

Control Panel
Personalization
Text input settings
Thumb board (4th tab)
Launch via rocker key

- not the easiest thing to find!

i noticed that the big thumb keyboard does not come up anymore when I touch the screen with a finger. I remember, though, that it has worked before. Now only if I use the middle (return) key after the small keyboard comes up I can have the big one.

Very strange - I checked the settings and changed the sensitivity of the thumb keyboard, but it does not work.

I can't seem to make the big keyboard pop up reliably on my 770 either. It's very frustrating, why the heck couldn't they have put a damn "go to big keyboard" button on their little keyboard?

If your finger is too small/you press with too little "area" of your finger on the screen, it will not be able to tell you aren't using the stylus. Try pushing "cruder".
