Hi all
Hope you all had a great christmas
Okay, back to my question ... when you tap on the input method selection arrow at the bottom of your screen, does it take like forever ... okay, not forever, but more like 6-8 seconds ... for the popup menu to appear and let you select type of input method to use ?
Is there a way to speed this up ?
Takes forever here too. I did use Tweak2k2 to hide some SIPs I never use, plus I have Calligrapher installed.
If you've installed too many sips and uninstalled them....basically messed around with the SIPs (installing and uninstalling)....the registry gets messed up. This makes wm5 to keep thinking and looking for certain dlls until it gives up...
the only way is, do a cleanup (hard reset) and install only the ones you need and are sure of sticking with it until the next hard reset
cheers!

Do you have Voice Command installed? If you do, that will slow down the SIP selection.

Wonder if it's a WM5 thing because I noticed it on my Wizard and now on my Magician II and just assumed that it was due to the 200Mhz processor. If you're seeing in on a Universal then I guess it can't be a processor thing. It is BLOODY annoying as I only ever use Letter Recogniser and very occasionally the Keyboard, but for some reason it keeps defaulting to the keyboard, particularly aftr the (all too frequent in WM5) soft reset.

oh ohh,
I last week I installed MS Voice Command and now I got the shown problem. And after a softreset the PDA didn´t starts with my favorit: keyboard.
Any tips?

Hmmm, as a matter of fact, i do have Voice Command installed ... but I seem to recall seeing this slow SIP selection even before that. Anyway, I have disabled Voice Command and it's still just as slow.
Can anyone else here who does not have Voice Command installed verify this ?

Indeed, it is bloody annoying ... I don't see how popping up a menu of available input methods can take that long. It's not like we're asking it to load all the input methods, we just wanna see the list of available methods.
I am also facing the same problem of defaulting to keyboard after a soft reset :roll:

I have a qtek 9000 running on the stock rom. My sip opens up almost instantaneously.
Before which, I had the same issue when I was beta testing calligrapher on another device running wm5. It apparently was a problem with one of the beta builds of calligrapher which they claim to have fixed in their final release...however, I've never installed the final release on my universal. So if you have CG installed, try not to install after a hard reset (Last time i had this issue, i had to hard reset...that was the only way out)

Hello Folks!
my mdaII has extraordinary symtoms when i want to mark some text in notepad ore other text application!
instead of the black block (shows marked text) i get a extraordinary arrow symbol (see attached picture) and so i cant mark text any more.
this serious function does not stop till i make a softreset. after this everything works well.
has anybody an idea For what reason this arrow appears and how i can get rid of it??
Did you install TenGo?? I think that either TenGo or Fitaly produces this and I've no idea how to stop it. I also have this occasionally.

No what is this?
Maybe we can find out which software we have both ?
i use:
ZenPhone
Repligo
TotalCommander
Visual CE
Code Wallet Pro
Spritge Backup
ScreenCap
if nobody knows an answer i have to hardreset my device because this problem is very distempering...
hmmm... from your list I have Zen Phone and Sprite backup. I recently upgraded both applications too.
Hmmm.... what to do, I thought it was TenGo and I removed it, but the problem is still there. I was then thinking that this could be Fitaly but you don't have fitaly so it can't be that.
I've found that when this problem happens if I switch input modes to another sip, then back again the problem is gone. This is a work around, not a fix and like you I do not know what's causing it.
I'm reluctant to hard reset as I've just done a rebuild recently. I'm hoping my next hard reset will be for Second Edition.
Have you had any more luck with it?

Sorry for my lousy english what do you mean with "switch to another sip" ??
@Guest,
Just select another input method like character recognizer and then back to the keyboard or whatever software input method (SIP) you preffer.

I also have the same problem. It seemed to appear after I installed ThinkOutside BT Keyboard.

Hi Folks!
Now i got my MDAIII an have THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!
that means it HAS TO BE an part of software i install because my new device has windows mobile 2003 SE!!
Did nobody find out how we can get rid of this "feature" ???
This is very interesting indeed! Are you saying you have the "feature" on a XDA3 out the box? Did you install any keyboard related software? Then again the XDA3 has the internal keyboard and therefore I assume it has some form of drivers pre-installed to support this.

Sprite Backup 3.1
Codewallet Pro 3.6
Resco File Explorer 4.30
Total Commander

hmmm...
I still have this too, I thought it might be Fitaly but coming to the conclusion that it's not. It's a severely annoying problem.
Narrowing down the lists of software that have been published, I have the following in common.
SPB Pocket Plus
PocketZenPhone
Sprite Backup.
I noticed that both PocketZenPhone and Sprite Backup appeard on both published lists, has anyone found the culprit?
Cheers
Howard
hmmm.... starting at the top, I removed SPB Pocket Plus and the arrow is gone from notes.
Two soft resets and the arrow is still gone!
Yet another bug with PocketPlus then???
Cheers
I have seen this on my XDA II - and the only applications from the lists that I have installed are PocketZenPhone and Resco.
Well having removed Pocket Plus to check, I've reinstalled it and I still don't have the arrow. So far, so good.
I don't know if the soft reset cured it (temporarily) or if installing the latest build of PocketPlus did it.
I'm a big fan of SPB's pocket plus, but the 3.0 version has some conflicts with the I-Mate K-Jam. While I can wait for them to work those out in most instances, I REALLY miss the ability to completely close tasks via the "X" in the upper right corner of the screen.
Has anyone found a compatible program that allows users to COMPLETELY close programs using the "X" button?
Thanks for any advice!
(As an aside, you'd think that after 5 versions and all the problems with programs/memory in WM2003PE, Microsoft would have included this feature in the OS.... but.... nooooo....)
wisbar advance 2
works for me.
NOT REALLY
IT WORKED FINE FOR ME TOO BUT.............
THE NAJOR PROBLEM THE WHOLE DEVICE HANGS UP AFTER A SOFT RESET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
every time i soft reset the device with spb3 installed the device just hangs up and the only way to get it working was a hard reset.
I do not have this problem when spb3 is not installed
anyone else had this problem????? any ideas??

When you install SPB + 3.0 go to settings for SPB and uncheck "Safe Mode on Soft Reset" This is what causes it to hang. When you uncheck that everything runs fine
I have SPB + on my K-Jam

yes but my k-jam don´t lets to install pocket plus ?¿?

I installed Magic Button - worked fine when I actually tap the "X" icon. For some reason, though, it doesn't seem to work when using a hardware button assigned to OK / Close.

Well, forgetting the broken English, I am having this same problem, too -- the CAB file only installs 10-15%, then just craps out, and the Windows "unsuccessful install" message pops up.
Any thoughts? Have I corrupted some registry entry or something, that after the first bad one, does not allow the Pocket Plus CAB to properly install?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
bit of an extreme suggestion, do a hard reset and re-install from scratch,
sorry all i can suggest. :?
i do but, it´s imposible
Hello everybody, I am facing a strange problem. Some of my phone buttons have stopped working as they used to work before. The complete buttons on the front panel at times they work and at times they don't. The below mentioned buttons only are not working:
1. The Internet Explorer button.(Above on the right)
2. The Message button.(Above on the left)
3. The Call buttons. (The call picking and disconnecting button, below left and right) And the 4 keys along it.
And one more strange problem is the phone goes to the internet explorer by its own, at times when i open the phone it is on the internet explorer, though before going to the sleeping mode after getting locked it is on the normal screen but when i switch it on and put the password, i find it on the internet explorer screen. Pls help to resolve these problems, I'll highly appreciate you all.
The buttons would be controlled in the settings section.
But I have to agree about the IE coming up. I think its related to getting the phone out of the case on your belt and it presses itself - as it were. I've tried setting that button to nothing to see if that makes any difference.

Thnks for the msg. Can you advise where in the settings section the changes have to be done.
Regarding IE, i believe it is not due to removing and inserting in the cover. Even when it is removed from the cover, and at times if i press the key which is right below the contact(to open contact details), It opens IE and with the call button which is the green one also.
Pls help me, I never knew atleast with this device after spending a huge amount still i will come across such problem. I am really frustrated with the device.
Anybody pls help!!!!!

This may be quite wrong but I'm just wondering if you guys have programmes running in the background. You may know that just tapping on the X top right does not close programmes down fully. You need something like Magicbutton or HTC X Button installed to quickly and fully close running programmes. If you don't have such an application installed then some of these hard keys may be responding to the background programmes. It would not surprise me in this case that Internet Explorer pops up because it's never been fully closed.
Just a thought.
And if you knew all this already I apologise, but it might be useful to someone who didn't know.

Not saying this is the cause of your problem but could be.
Magic Button shows running programmes and lets you fully close them:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=7438
It will ask for you to register and give e-mail address but you do not need to, you can still download without doing all that.
There are other programmes like HTC X Button but this one works fine.
Mike
i have the same problem! maybe something funny is going on with JASJAMs... anyway, i tried pressing the IE button after resetting the device (soft reset) and it STILL says it cant find the location. it must be SOMEWHERE in the registry!
can anyone please help??

Can we assume that IE works ok when you start it from the Start Menu, and that it is only when you try to start it from the hardware key it does not work?

Given the programme is working fine, this I think will be a simple matter of remapping the key to the shortcut/programme. Unfortunately it's late here, hopefully someone else can give you the detail. If not I'll check this thread tomorrow.

Go to Start>settings>Buttons>
Select button 2 and choose Internet Explorer from the drop down list below.
(If IE is already chosen then I would choose something else for button 2 (anything) tick to say ok. Try the button it should open whatever programme you selected. Now go back to the buttons menu and choose Internet Explorer for button 2 again.)
Hopefully this will work if not report back.

hi guys i have same problem my panels buttons are not woking just center buttons are wokring, its not work 2 week , then suddenly one day it work but next day again offf.... does any 1 have same problem?

It's a free download until Dec 8th, 2008...
Cool stuff
This is indeed a great soft keyboard. I found the following reviews around this product, pretty amazing:
http://www.maxartonline.com/
http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/software/great_new_soft_keyboard.html
I can't get this to work.. Like some other keyboard, I suspect this could be due to the Chinese software / input method I've installed on my Trinity.
Can anyone with Asia ROM (with CE Star installed) confirm this?
So so sad...
[Edit] Ha!! ya, got it to work.. need to softreset after installation. Fantastic piece of application!!
[Edit 2] Ha!! You can drag the keypad and move them to your prefered position, e.g. spacing in the centre!!!
I think it just 'white-screened' my phone.
damnit. I tried to set it as a default input and now I may have to hard reset.

Seems you have to switch to TouchPal manually They didn't make it to be default IME in this version.
It works perfectly on my HTC Touch. So coooooooool stuff...
I really love word assoication feature...
Did you have to uninstall any other SIPs first? I had a couple other ones, including phonepad. I actually wasn't able to select it from the input selector, which is why I tried to make it the default.

Just paste the following to another thread:
Did you soft-reset your device? And it is possible that TouchPal is incompatible with some other non-default soft keyboards. My friend got TouchPal work after uninstalling a Chinese keyboard and reinstall TouchPal->Soft-Reset. He decided not to go back to other keyboard, even decide to give up hardware keyboard.
Hmmm. My device is now reset, and I have restored it to it's previous settings. I uninstalled tengo keyboard, and am now disabling spb fullscreen keyboard and phonepad.
Currently, TouchPal shows up in my SIP list, but I just can't select it still.
Update: still not working after disabling all other input methods besides the standard keyboard. will have to try something else...or give up...

Nope. Dead end. I'm actually running BBConnect, so there's an override of the windows password with the new BBSecurity. It actually crashed my phone again. I'm restoring back to normal and throwing in the towel for tonight.
Thanks for your help anyways!

Hi
Did you soft reset after installing TouchPal? When I first install, I can't select it as well. After uninstalling it, I reinstall again and did a soft reset. And now it works well.

don't work on my p3600. when i try to select touchpal as a imput it set to normal keyboard. i soft reset , uninstall , reinstall , nothing... it don't work to me... any solution?
i have a trinity. i definitely tried the uninstall and soft reset but it didnt work. it's really strange since tengo, phonepad and fingertouch all installed no problem!
It's really wierd.. How come for some no prob, for the others failed??
did you guys try the stuff in the following link:

Not sure it works or not
Although I can select TouchPal after my installation, this morning I also experienced bring it back on (cos I select Phonepad after my last reset). I have experience difficulty in the SMS. So what I did is went to Contact and select TouchPal there, and managed to get it working. Then when I went back to SMS, TouchPal is still working there. Try it see whether this works for you guys.
Hmm...that's an interesting tactic. When I think back, I remember actually having to set the other SIPs as the default first to get it working.
Do you have G4 SIP Hide on your trinity? I needed to install it to make Phonepad work, and wonder if that could be causing an issue with Touchpal (not likely, but who knows...)

Is Swype not compatible with this rom? What am I doing wrong?!
It isn't compatible. If you want this feature, you'll have to:
1) buy an HD2 that has it in the ROM already.
or
2) flash to a ROM that contains it in order for it to work properly.
I did so, largely for this reason, and although many have complained about its function, particularly on secondary/long press keys, I have not had much difficulty with it, although I have seen the issue and have worked my way around it when it presents, because I find the software an absolutely indispensable feature for the way I use my phone every day.

I've noticed that it seems to happen in specific contexts, and that in general, if I can keep my finger dead steady during the long press, it won't have a problem reading the long press about 95% of the time. Long press "?"/M seems to always work at the end of sentences, at least for me, for example, so I think there is some context issues related to this.
I also tried deleting the Swype User data files and it seemed to help. Not sure why, or if it was real or imagined, but the issue was less common after doing so.
I can't do without it in my HD2, so I'll live with it the way it is, because even with these issues, I don't mind it.

Hi Donal,
Do you have a download link for the OzROM you have mentioned in your sig? I assume that installing it will wipe phone memory/data? I'm only asking as I have a problem with Swype, with it often causing the 'keyboard button' to become inoperable, I'm wondering if it's a problem with my Rom, as I only have the old 'out of the box' one, 1.43 or so I think.
I just reinstalled the Omnia2 versin of swype.
I somehow prefer that version..more used to it and it doesn't have that secondary key problem...

Tap them out once and Swype should add them to its database. You should be able to slide them out thereafter.

1) buy an HD2 that has it in the ROM already.
or
2) flash to a ROM that contains it in order for it to work properly.
I did so, largely for this reason, and although many have complained about its function, particularly on secondary/long press keys, I have not had much difficulty with it, although I have seen the issue and have worked my way around it when it presents, because I find the software an absolutely indispensable feature for the way I use my phone every day.

Don't mislead people by offering advice when you don't know what you're on about.
There is no connection between the Swype CABs and the ROMs. It should all work.
Now, that error isn't uncommon, I've had it myself. Unless you get the error after installing the Swype HTC skin found on XDA, you can fix the error merely by uninstalling Swype and reinstalling using the CAB. Select the Swype keyboard to make sure it works and then do a soft reset.
I've used both the Omnia II and T-Mo HD2 Swype CABs on a variety of phones with a variety of ROMs and it all works. Currently using the HD2 CAB on official 1.66 WWE ROM and it works well.

I already followed this steps with v3.9, but i had lost the e-mail & wi-fi passwords, the phone was blocking and needed to reset with the red button under the cover, with a long press on the keys to get symbols 90% of times did not working... swype it is really fast, but seems not working, at least the one fixed for hd2 , as it claims (with the .txt in /windows folder)
I just posted a cab that worked for me, here it is:

i had open it... it's the same i had tested.. nothing to do..
can you select swype by clicking the up arrow at the centre bottom off the keyboard? I only ask because this one worked for me whilst the other version I tried wiped my data connections too.

Yes indeedy.
I have used both versions of swype, Omnia 2 and 3.9. I find 3.9 more pleasing to the eye. The buttons are bigger and the letters are bigger. Yes its a little harder to press and hold to get the numbers but it works everytime for me. Seems that the touch points are smaller.
But when installing both versions I lost email settings and wifi settings. The wep password disappears for the router and my smtp and pop settings disappear for emails. I have switched back and fourth and both versions cause the same issues. But so does pulling the battery when to do a reset. So it seems to be more of an HTC issue and not a swype issue.
I have heard others saying about the 3.9 and lock password being changed. I have a feeling swype 2.0 does the same thing. Might be linked to the other problems.

I had the same error. I solved by installing my language version and on Device memory instead of Storage card.
Anyway, I'm wondering how can I edit keyboard layout...

Could you please pull your cab. We do not yet have an official beta for Windows Mobile. It has been announced that Swype will be available through T-Mobile on the HTC HD2, but today it is only available through Verizon on the Samsung Omnia II.
