I downloaded the HTC Keyboard+Keypad as a new SIP. Really nice. Got it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336587
Only problem is that once i use it, it takes over the calling dialpad. I end up having to hit the red button end, go back to the today screen, then hit the green button send to bring up my real dialpad.
Any ideas how to fix that? Anyone else download that keyboard? Have problems? Or is it just me.
hmm i dont seem to have prob with the new cab except that it kills the native 'auto-correct' feature.. which i DO need when using the hardware keyboard.. so.. too bad for me
Can someone post a screenshot of what this keyboard looks like?
Not sure how to do that but I can say after a days usage it is MAGNIFICENT....
Go to the link I put in my first post for screen shots.
How do you get it to work flawlessly?
I end up with the full keyboard and can't change it to the keypad.

How to do it on Kaiser?
For me, it is working fine in Words.
But I cannot use XT9 on SMS.
Does anyone know what is the problem?
does anybody know a way to disable the automatic change to the querty keyboard when in a java app or on a password field?
I prefer to keep it XT9, but it sqitches to querty on it's own.

Has anyone tried it yet? Does it work? Looks nice, probably way better than the diamond one. I'm still waiting for my diamond so I can't try it out myself. If someone would be so kind, I'd really appreciate it.

Yes, Touchpal v3 is better then the Diamond one...
There are lots of staff in Touchpal V3 which Diamond one doesn't have.....
Does it also work in landscape mode? That is if you change the screen orientation by some other program first...

You misunderstood me I just wrote that bit of information just so that you know that I know that the screen doesn't rotate automatically on the diamond
TouchPal 3
I have been using Touchpal 3 for a while. I wouldnt use anything else. It is a great keyboard. You can change swizes on the fly, change keyboards instantly, store passwords and phrases. Works and looks great on my TD. Skinnable....get it..much better than TD keyboard.

I must totally agree, great keyboard
I have it installed too, it is a great Keyboard but I have been experiencing lock ups when using it so currently using diamond one! gonna try going back to it again soon, see if the lock ups come back!!
Rich
Make sure you install in main memory, I've had lockups on TouchDual if installed in storage...
I can't get it to work. Intalls then says it needs to reboot to finish, then when it comes back on - nothing there?

Make sure u download the version for Windows Mobile 6.1
I had the same problem, after downloading TouchPal for WM 6.1 everything worked fine
Better use FingertouchPro directly.
It's by far superior, supports several languages, and uses very little CPU. All in one, it's a more compact product, designed with high speed text input technologies , I've seen two on the website: www.fingertouchpro.com
Why choosing touchpal when are several other (better) alternatives?

I did, unfortunatelly
I tried it and had to give up. There is absolutely no way to move the 'space' key in the T9 layout, unlike the other layouts. Which makes it unsafe to use when holding in the right hand I find.
Did you enable "Allow drag able keys"?
I have no problem moving the keys around, ncluding space.
TouchPal V3 the greatest SIP by far. Ever since I had started using it I rarely use the slideout hardware keyboard on my TyTn II

It does work in landscape mode, but not as you might expect:
it will not scale the buttons like for the iPhone. You will get left and right borders, so it is not easier to type with.
But: I bought it, the swifting feature is wonderful. Just try it, you have some day of fully free usage!

Better? Maybe in your opinion.
I, and many other people, find Touchpal much better and more advanced than the alternatives.
From the tone of your messages, it sounds like you had some problem with Touchpal...well fair enough, but maybe you should describe what the problem was?
I've been using Touchpal for some months, first on my Touch Cruise, and now on my Diamond, without any major problems. With the latest version 3.5 is just gets better and better.
Ben
Is version 3.5 really that much better then the Diamond's own keyboards ?
Obviously the sliding of keyboards and stretching are cool... but are the keys that much easier to use ? I know its not that expensive, but it still takes up space and cpu cycles on the phone.
Maybe good idea to see how well I get on with the built in keyboards first then instal the trial.

Have looked everywhere and don't see that as an option. I can move the space key in the usual keyboard layouts but none other.
Any ideas where the setting is?
Cheers
EDIT
Apparently you can't move the space key in T9 layout due to the disambiguation that occurs down left side. A HUGE mistake in my opinion as having the space to the right makes this a very unsafe keyboard to use right handed. My Diamond is too precious to risk dropping for a space key. Back to the original T9 for me then! That's a lost purchase on CooTek side.
After many trials, I found that the keypad from Diamond on the Kaiser is the best solution for using T9 and XT9
With this I have a fair area for touching with thumbs and the phisical keyboard is working too, despite other keypads from HTC that on the Tytn II caused some keys to not work anymore in the physical keyboard
I couldn't sort out the problem of loosing the functionality of the sequence "letter" plus "fn" plus "blank" that in origin took to get the letter with accent. For example "a" plus "fn" plus "blank" could get "à"
Any solution for this?
I tryed disabling XT9 but no way. Installing the Diamond KeyPad I loose this functionality... and getting letters with accent from the symbols list is far more unconvenient!
Sorry I don't have a solution for you but I am curious as to how this fn+blank shortcut works. What rom are you running? I'm not sure what the 'blank' is you're talking about... I tried the space bar but that didn't work.. can you explain please?

Hi everyone,
I've tried to search in the forums but I couldn't find it.
It's not a really big issue, but it annoys me a bit..
I found that the HTC keyboard's font looks a bit different after soft resets. The font looks a bit thinner than it is supposed to. (Screenshot attached)
However, after toggling between Compact QWERTY back to Full QWERTY, the problem is gone.
This only happens with some ROMs that I've installed .. now I'm using official 1.93.707.1 WWE .. it used to happen with the elite 3.0 as well.
Has anyone experienced this?

I got the same problem with the 1.93 original dutch rom.
Still no solution here?
The same happens to me with original Vodafone ES ROM (1.93.164.2 ESN)

Omg WHY does it matter?
I have another very annoying issue with my "Full Qwerty" keyboard : it stays locked on the symbol tab, even after a soft reset, and the "ABC" button does not work anymore. Is there any way to "reset" all the settings of that keyboard (perhaps by deleting some reg keys)? Thanks in advance!
This has happened to me, too. Keen for an answer. Thanks

Aswers like this is just what this community needs....
ontopic:
The font problem occurs when you use a ROM that does not has the Manila plugin. If you do have it you might want to hide and show your keyboard to fix the issue.
I've attached a CAB that makes the font change from Helvetica to Segoeui it should make look your keboard just fine.
It's part of my personal tweaks so don't know where the original came from...

I had exactly the same problem after installing Pocket CM keyboard, I uninstalled it and the problem went away

I've tried the .cab. Thanks for that.. the font now looks close to the original one,..almost..but not the same..
Still looks ok tho, I'm going to use it for the time being.
I think we're heading to the right direction.

Yes, I had. I just uninstalled it and my Full Qwerty SIP is back to normal. Thanks a million for the hint. Now we need to go after Tene and ask him to fix that bug ;-)
Hey guys,
I just did like 5 different google searches through the site and I cant find the HTC Black Dialer/Phone Canvas cab.
Does anyone happen to have one?
Thanks a bunch!
Daniel
You didn't look hard enough I tell you
right on!!!
Honestly I did, the closet thing I found where the black IMG files from LantisOS ROM, but that didnt include the phone as well.
Thank you for the cab!
EDIT: Im trying to install this on top of Da_G's latest 6.5 ROM, and I am still getting the default Windows Dialer...do you know what I can do to make this work?
Yes, sometimes it's hard to find certain things. I simply wanted to find the black manila start panel skin for my TP and it took me hours but I finally found it.
Is there a version without the slide to answer?
I installed this cab and love the look but have been experiencing a glitch; the on-screen buttons get blurryed and are not responsive once a call is dailed and I press send. I cannot access the speakerphone/note/end call etc that are displayed in a blurred fashion...anyone else getting this?

I think it might be possible that it is the in call curtain you see. Have to slide it down to access buttons behind it.

Well this one was the charm for my Sprint TP. Works Great, and did not foul anything up
to whoever said they tried the s2a on wm6.5 with no luck.. I believe that the dialer is still an issue with wm6.5 that has yet to be fixed..compatability issues between htc and m$ i think..I also tried installing s2a and when i would receive a call the screen would glitch and switch between the traditional 6.5 slide to answer, the older 6.1 style answer screen, and the s2a screen lol very glitchy...
