Yahoo Messenger and Vega keyboard


Recommended Posts

Hi all

Just got my Vega with R8 ROM yesterday and love it!

Does anyone here know how to bring up the keyboard when in a Yahoo Messenger video call? The video takes up almost the full screen, and the only way Ive found to type at the same time is use the Back button to get back to chat window, but that then puts video on hold!

Any advice greatly appreciated!

I think multiple Android windows is still on the development path right now but some people are working on an app to do it. In the meantime the only solution (if you can call it that) might be to use your PC to setup the Yahoo video window and chat window alongside each other then use a 'Desktop Remote' app to view the Desktop and control the PC mouse/keyboard.

Other than that you could put the Vega into Host mode attach a USB keyboard and just check and see if the chat window still accepts input when the video window is open on top. You won't see the text you send or replies though but would be interesting to know if text input can at least continue in background? :)

Hi mark im not familiar with yahoo messenger but task switcher or some similar programme may help, if you set it to run on the home button action then you can switch between screens without closing either as the Vega

Is capable of true multitasking, hope this helps :)

Don't think Task Switcher will keep both apps open on the screen simultaneously though does it ?? Which is what I think Mark is after. :)

Well that would be ideal, but if you could switch to chat/keyboard without video going on hold that would do!

I will try out the suggestions and report back - thanks everyone for your comments. It's so good that people are kind enough to help others out!
