Hello Ahmed,
To let MA virtual keyboard (VK) work outside MA, you need to do the
following.
1. In Your phone settings (use MA Apps list to get into Phone settings), go
to Locale and Text and check the option "Mobile Accessibility". Remember
having more than 3 option checked in this window may cause issues so make
sure you have less option checked.
2. After checking the option, go to MA > Settings > Text input > Virtual
Keyboard > Advanced > Select input method. Here use your navigation aid or
sighted assistance to select Mobile Accessibility.
Now outside MA, if you tap on any edit field the Virtual keyboard will open
automatically.
Also note, outside MA, the virtual keyboard can be started by either tapping
on an edit field or y long press of the menu key.
To close the virtual keyboard outside, use the phone back key.
Also, to use the voice recognition outside MA, the virtual keyboard must be
activated.
Lastly, if you disable the option, "Use volume keys to change mode" for
virtual keyboard, you may also use the Shift key long press on VK to change
layout and long space to change navigation mode from char / word etc.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Mukesh Sharma

Hello All,
Just so you all know, if a phone has htc sense (at least the HTC
status) the onscreen keyboard does not seem to work anywhere outside
MA. If anyone has information about that I would greatly appreciate
it.

that is something i've never tried however i think you may find that
disables the ability to change the way you can read text such as by word
line excetra rather than the keyboard.

When outside of ma you don't long press volume up to bring up the
keyboard. In the markets case when you click on sirch provided you
have
mobile accessibility set as your input method the keyboard comes up
straight away ready for you to type. The only time you really use up
volume to bring up the keyboard is inside ma.
