T9 don´t switch

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,

Where does this keyboard come from?

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...

HTC SIPs stuck on numeric input?

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with the HTC SIPs (Full Qwerty and Compact Qwerty) - they're both stuck on numeric input and won't switch back to text input mode.
ie, I click on the "ABC" button and nothing happens. I therefore can't enter anything other than numbers and symbols!
Has anyone else seen this issue? I'm having to use PCM Keyboard in the meantime, which is frustrating as it doesn't have easy access to "." etc.
Thanks
J

PCM Keyboard prevents the HTC SIPs from working properly. Either remove PCK Keyboard or try the latest version (0.19)

I have the same problem
I have the same problem.
I haven't installed any additional keyboard software, and suddenly my text keyboard is stuck on numerics.
I have a feeling this may have been something to do with the latest firmware from HTC that I've recently installed.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Pete

Do you have HD Tweak installed?
this will happen if you enable T9

Sorted
Yep, that was it
Sorted - Thankyouverymuchsir

okay so I too now have this same problem, originally I had Dutty's Leo R6 on my phone with HDTweak so I decided to reflash my phone with Dutty's Leo R7 and this time not install HDTweak and see if it works.... But even after doing that, I still keep getting all 3 types of the keyboard inputs stuck on numbers and symbols. after a soft reset whenever I try and type in a text, the first time it usually works fine. But after I have sent the 1st message or just returned to the home tab and try to write another msg, all input keyboards are stuck. Note: I can temporarily fix it by clicking on a previous message, waiting for the menu to popup from the threaded view and then closing it, but after writing that message it will revert back to being stuck
So no HDTweak installed, using new HTC Messaging App, have turned off T9 Autocompletion + Symbol Lock under Input Options and I have also tried installing geniusgeng's cab here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486187&highlight=[solution]+qwerty+keyboard but that doesn't work...any thoughts on how I can fix this with something more permanent?
Thanks

Not sure of any reg tweaks, but why don't you install HD Tweak and then disable T9

Hey, thanks for the amazingly fast reply!!!
okay so I just tried reinstalling HDTweak again and disabling T9, but its still not working I keep having the same trouble. I have also tried all different combinations of disabling T9 only in HDTweak, or both HDTweak and under Input Options and only in Input Options and so on.... but the problem doesn't seem to get resolved.
I have experimented some more and it turns out that the keyboard will only get stuck when I go to the messages tab and click on a text I received to reply to it. If i go to the messages tab and create a new message (where I have to enter in the contact and can't see the threaded msgs) then the keyboard is fine all the time. Does anyone else have this same problem as well, or is it just me?
I would really prefer to be able to quickly reply to texts instead of creating new messages every time...gonna try disabling the htc messaging app (was going to anyway cause it takes waaaay too loooong lol) and see if that magically works
Thanks again!

I had a similar problem and fixed it
I logged on here to see if someone could tell me how to fix my issue, but it is regarding an HTC HD2, not a Blackberry. My problem was similar but not exactly the same. My phone somehow permanently got stuck on Xt9, which I hate and am worthless at using. I couldn't seem to find the answer anywhere online so i'm writing my experience here in case it helps anyone.
Hitting the XT9 / ABC button did NOTHING to fix it. Even though the button would visually change from XT9 to ABC and back, when I hit it (it would change to a green color), the keys themselves would not change at all, and i was stuck looking at keys that make zero sense to me qw... er...ty... ui.... it was like a bad nightmare. I have no idea how I managed to get it stuck on this (sorry I know most of you techies probably have no problem with it but I am just not very tech savvy).
I tried taking out my battery, popping the sim card in and out several times, restarting. Sounds stupid but I didn't know what else to do as I couldn't find any solutions online. Finally called tmobile.
First the rep told me to try going to Settings > Locale and Text > Text Input. She asked what my settings were on, I said ABC. She told me to turn it to XT9 instead, then close out the screen, go back, then switch back to ABC. I did that, and no dice. I figured either the settings are frozen or I'm cursed.
Then she had me go to the screen to write a text msg. When your cursor is in the text box to write in, you will see a little keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen. There's a little arrow next to it. Click on that arrow. That brought up the options of Full QWERTY and Compact QWERTY, and apparently somehow my phone got switched to Compact QWERTY. So I switched back, and that fixed it.
So yeah, apparently there are a couple of different ways to change it.
I wanted to hug this woman through the phone, i was so relieved to be able to text again (I could not write out one single word while on Compact QWERTY). I'm not sure if going this route can help anyone else but it was the answer for me. There may be other options for you when you click on the arrow next to the keyboard.
Good luck!

Howdyua Customize SIP Menu Choices?

Hiya xda, longtime reader and I am greatly in debt to you all for your insight into how to best get my Mr. Pocketphone awesome.
So, I have myself a Touch HD and am using Dutty's 3.9 which uses Touchflo 3D 2.0
The input menu on touchflo by default displays only three inputs when you pull it up. The first two are static: phone keypad, and full qwerty. The third one you can change by pulling up the "other input methods" option and selecting an input.
My question is: is it possible to change the first two static input options to something else with a registry tweak or something? I dont really use the phone keypad and would like to replace it with another one I regularly use so I dont have to go to the other input methods menu so often.
I have searched and searched, but cant seem to find an answer.
Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Use the following app SIPChange
Once installed, open up SIPChange and then select whichever keyboard you want to use as default. Now, even after a reset your choice will be default keyboard.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I should be a little more clear though.
I found this solution in the forums already, and thats not exactly what I want to do.
I want to change entrys that pop up when you tap the little arrow next to the keyboard on the bottom of the screen to bring up the entry menu.
On regular Windows mobile when you bring up the entry menu it just lists all the inputs you have installed on one long panel, but on Touchflo 3D there are only three inputs that appear, then to select additional inputs, you must click on the "other input methods" menu option.
My question is: Is there a way to substitute an input from the "other input methods" menu with one on the main input panel?
Of the two that are there by default on the main input panel I only use one, so i would like to substitute it with another input that I use more often, thus saving me the time of having to click the little arrow, then other input methods, then the input.
I guess this is a touchflo 3D specific problem. so i dont know if any registry tweak would fix it. Any help would be great though.

anyone know how to do this?
change order of the input menu entry's?

[Q] General questions

Hello, i have a few general questions, probably about android itselft:
1. is there a way to change blue color of battery and everything else that goes blue to pink/magenta?
2. How can i make "home screen" to rotate to landscape mode?
3. How can i have czech qwerty keyboard or US keyboard with suggestions in czech language?
4. Is it possible to have multiple speech inputs? Czech and english and switch between them? So i can search play store for real racing ie.
5. Is there a way to stop wifi networks from jumping in list? When i go to pub and want to connect to its wifi in keeps switching positions with other networks and it is quite annoying a uncomfortable for me.

1-2 - > i dont think you can do this on stock rom... You'll have to root and find a custom rom that support this

1 - Cannot be done on stock rom.
2 - The only way to do this on stock is to either use : UltimateRotation
Or
Use a Launcher like ApexLaunher or NovaLauncher
3 - I would get an App called : SwiftKey - You can have multiple languages at once, and it supports the most languages I have ever seen in a keyboard. (The link is to the free one, there is a paid version)
4 - Again the multiple speach can be done in SwiftKey, including dictator multiple speach along with the multi-language keyboards.
5 - Not a clue
Hope this helps.

1 is about the theme, I would be surprised you can't do this on the stock ROM once rooted but you have to find where this setting is (or in a config file, or in an apk, something like that). And gooood luck for this, probably that a themer would know.
For the language things, maybe you could create your combination in the advanced settings -> personalized style? Not sure your language is there though... If not, I was using ICS keyboard from the market that supports many languages and there is now a JB version, maybe worth a try.
About the WiFi, you can enter the network's infos manually by clicking on the + in the WiFi config. Not exactly the answer you wanted but a workaround...
My two cents that will hopefully be helpful.
Sent from my Nexus 7 still stock but not for long!

Pretty much everything been answered. I would really vouch for SwiftKey as well, I'm using it for dual languages as well and it picks them up nicely without having to even press a button to switch them like with swype for instance. But I guess if you want a different keyboard for Czech you'd have to switch that tho.
Regarding the wifi, I do believe that once you've remembered a network it will stay at the top...

Is there some way to send suggestion about keyboard to google? I would like to use OOB keyboard. And many people in CZ are used to qwerty.
EDIT: found it in language and input > advanced settings > custom input styles - so probably what johnride meant
Also you cen heve two voice inputs by default - just clik on language when using voice input. Tough i found out my english is really crap for voice recognition.
Still i would like to send suggestions to google about the wifi list, as hitting the right network is not so easy when it is changing under you fingers constantly

Yeah that's what I meant... I am on a french system and I translated wrong sorry!
