hi,
i can no longer type in the name of someone i want to send a text message to and have a list of potential matches pop up - i'm having to start typing and then use Check Names. anyone else having this issue or does anyone know of a fix ?
it's the HTC keyboards which have done it, either uninstall them or wait for someone to suss out a fix.
thanks again.
funny... i have the htc keyboards installed and it gives me suggestions when i start typing a name
Does the HTC Keyboards program also disable the umlaut/accened characters key on the keyboard?
Yes, it disables the accened characters key, does anybody know if this setting is in the registry?

I have this perfect model, but one big problem with t9 entering text. I need disable this funkcion for ever. Can somebody advice?
Hey, I am having the same issue. It always tries to predict / complete my words but it never does it correctly. I have changed it to stop doing it in both the Touch Keyboard settings and the input settings.
Any guidance would be helpful.
This will disable T9 but...
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\ and change the key "XT9SupportMSSip" from value "1" to "0".
... I did this as well as disabling the HTC built in keyboards via SKTools. I also installed 'PCMKeyboard' and 'IM selector' (To set PCM as the default).
In doing all of this, now on reset, one of the HTC keyboards still looks like it's default and I do not get predictive text anymore. Meaning that if I start a new email or sms, enter a letter in the 'To:' field, it wont suggest a contact.
I really haven't poked around as to what is going on so I'm living with it because I like the PCM keyboard to much.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
Your registry advice is not working on my device.
I obtained this reg suggestion through a thread in the 'elf' forum. I needed to use it to enable 'PCMkeyboard'. Sorry, I can no longer find the thread I was reading. You may want try and search for some clues there.

i think it will fix the problem
Hi GUys
The cab file works fine so well done.....
However if you are looking to use your keypad to msg[without T9] it wont work as the file disabled the use of letters, only numbers now work
Any chance that T9 can be turned off and still be able to use keypad to msg as normal.........
Thanks
Has there been any progress on this???
I'm tired of typing using the keyboard, along with the touchscreen and suggestions being made, then if i'm not looking, i press space and it adds the damned suggestion onto what i've typed (for instance: twotoo / memean)
Very annoying when trying to type a text quickly and sneakily in work, as i've got to focus on the text and not who's around me!
If it can be switched off, I would highly appreciate it, I can't find it in the Advanced Config Tool, or under any of the settings.
Thank you,
Hate to do this, but any ideas anyone???
Thank you,
The htc keyboard has 2 versions. One which has the individual keys and the one with the multitap keys. Does anyone know how to make it so that the default keyboard is ALWAYS the one with the individual keys as I am not able to select which one I would like to use.

I know what you're talking about but I am not really sure how to do that. Like when you enter input for a password in IE it pops up but for some reason only password boxes. That is definitely something to look into.
Check this post for a link to a cab file that - i believe - will disable the 20 and 12 key keyboards and activate the 40 key (password) version. the downside is that you have to give up the predictive text feature.

I feel so honored to have my post cited...
when i install this, and select the keyboard nothing comes up, I still see my defualt. I soft reseted many times, even the used the pin.
any help would be great.
When i go the options, It says "the selected input method could not be loaded"
Thanks
Some used IMSelector but didn't work for my Vogue. I used SipChange and it did the trick..... maintaining my selected default keyboard.
Thanks, but what i meant is.
When i select the HTC keyboard, it's blank. nothing shows up.
is that 20 key to 40 key cab an add on? or do I uninstall the original?
thanks
Hi! I'm new to the WM world and still getting to know my HTC Touch Dual. So please excuse any ignorance on my part! Been searching the web and this forum but can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem, would someone be able to help, please?
Am trialling the Listpro app and like it except I'm unable to figure out how to enter text entries from the 12-key keypad itself. Listpro only allows me to enter numbers when I use the keypad, and I'm only able to enter text through the touch keyboard with a stylus.
Does anyone know how to make the 12-key keypad work for text-input as well on Listpro? I can't seem to find any menu options/ settings in the app for this and wondering if it's just inherent in the program or if I'm just clueless.
Appreciate any feedback, thanks!
I have the 16 key touch dual.
So on input options, you have the touch keypad, when I select that sometimes this comes out (please see attached)
I like it thought better than the 20 key touch keyboard.
Yeh... Where?
I second this, it works really well but there is no option to bring it up on the dual... it just randomly appears sometimes when you need to input text.
Thirded.
And whats more, why does text input seem to vary on web pages?
I've got some where it defaults to numeric input when it should be alpha numeric (ie. passwords), others where XT9 seems to be off (the subject on mails in facebook).
Its so stupidly all over the place and inconsistent! If I could just get this one to pop up all the time I'd be happy.
Doesn't that keyboard show when there's no text entry field?
And yes, i want it too, why would they disable it for normal usage?
Yeh I have found the keyboard to be all over the place when it comes to deciding if it will give you tx9, abc, 123, etc.... Anyone know a way to set one of the two alphanumerics as a default at least?
ok ive had this appear a few times now but couldnt figure out why, as you have been asking for it i have been playing around and think i know what is causing it. you may not need everything listed below but these are the settings on my device if you play around with them you should be able to narrow it down.
I'm running Toms rom, found here
i have disabled threaded sms by using the second setting here
i have enabled the favourite people button on the htc home screen by deleteing the key here
the only other app i have that may have changed a setting is the HTC home customiser.
After making these changes tick the enable xt9 setting in romsettings app, exit the app, then go back into it and untick the enable t9 setting, after closing romsettings you should have the keyboard shown in the second screen shot
as far as i can see this changes the keyboard in all applications
Thats great! Still albeit of a noob so you lost me somewhere there, is there a way to this on the stock ROM?
short answer is i dont know. try looking for an applcation called rom settings after installing it there is a t9 setting. untick it and closethe application if this makes no dfference you may want to try altering the other settings and then trying again until it works.

Ok will try that thanks. On the side, when you untick "T9" does this make "abc" default text entry as well?
I have confirmed that this keyboard layout come out when no text entry is needed.

thats the default action anyway, with the changes detailed the keyboard is available when entering text, if you look at the second image you will see that the cursor is actually in the message box, its the black line at the end of the word hello

Eh? Maybe I overdosed on the thick pills last night, but that doesn't make any sense? If I click on a password field in IE, sometimes the main phone keypad always seems to default to numeric entry. But clicking in the field itself pops up this lovely keyboard.
It really does make no sense at all. There doesn't appear to be any standard/global keyboard settings.
And this is in v6 of WinMo, you would have thought they would have got the basics right by now, but the darned sent items has the useless option of "order by from" - when all the sent items are sent from the same person.
Its got plenty of potential, but it just seems like lots of separate teams were implementing it, doing their own thing without any centralised discussion/design.
Has anyone managed to get this to work with the standard T-Mobile [UK] ROM ?
any updates on this as well? it would be nice to just get an option for this
I got it to work, rather by chance, but thing is after that, I could switch to back to the touchpad type anymore.
I installed POCKETCM KEYBOARD. After doing that, somehow it locked this keyboard in when I choose touchpad.
Its rather a workaround, but for those who to use it premanently, you can do it
it also shows up at times when you are entering a password
Ouch ! I read to quickly and did'nt see the word "permanently" !
It does the same for me after installing pocketpc keyboard and even after uninstalling it !!!
Did you find a way to get the classic keyboard back ? This one is nice but there are some important keys missing as "." and a key to hide the keyboard !
Thanks
EDIT : The installation of Resco Keyboard got all the original settings back + Resco Keyboard of course.
So if you need to use the famous "hidden HTC keyboard", simply install Resco Keyboard and then Pocketpc keyboard.
You will then have your classic "touch" keyboards replaced by the "hidden keyboard" (+Resco Keyboard installed of course).
But to my mind, Resco keyboard alone is better...
Hi,
Has anyone else had this problem. 8 times out of 10 when I goto send an SMS and the input is set to Phone Keypad it defaults to entering numbers. It's as if a numlock is on and I cant get it to switch off. The only way I can get text is to switch the input to qwertry.
I had this with the original 1.43 and now again with the 1.48 ROM. I have all the HTC updates applies including the SMS fix.
Can anyone shed any light.
John
Does anyone have any ideas. Surely I'm not the only one with this problem.
Please can anyone help.
John
Of all the SMS problems i have had i haven't seen this one. This may sound silly but are you sure your not clicking the number button 8 times out of 10?
did you install any other keyboard or input method?this is usually the problem.
Hi,
No I'm not hitting the number button by mistake. When I get a text or I goto send one and the input method is set to Phone Keypad it enters numbers in all modes. ie, 12# and ABC every button from 1 - 0 will give a number. It's like a numlock is on.
If I set input to compact qwerty it does the same at times but not as bad. If I set it to full qwerty it works fine.
No other software installed. Stock HTC 1.48 ROM.
John
Have you thought about giving another keyboard a go like FingerKeyboard and Swype (http://www.swypeinc.com/myswype.html) or SlideIt? Not sure what the status is on Swype re finding a copy but SlideIt is very similar.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers

YES i have the same problem with my HD2 =) and the second problem is that my phone sometimes stops sending the messages(then i must soft reset)
HD2 is FULL of BUGS... well HTC SENSE is full of bugs...
even after all updates htc have given us =) JIPPIIII
HTC's personal beta tester is ME
1.61 and exactly the same problem.
I tend to use Swype now but this problems been around BEFORE I installed Swype so I know Swype isn't the cause.
