Guest MarkBR Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 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! Mark

Any advice greatly appreciated! Mark 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? :)

Mark 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 :)

Which is what I think Mark is after. :)

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! M.
