I'd like to use the HTC Touch keyboard on my Tilt for the times that I don't want to slide out the keyboard, but installing it seems to break the autocorrect feature when I am using the hardware keyboard. I see a few other people mentioning this in various threads, but I have yet to see any mention of a solution to this problem. I've tried all sorts of combinations of enabling and disabling autocorrect and various xt9 features, but the only way I can get autocorrect back is by uninstalling the HTC Touch keyboard.
By autocorrect, I'm referring to the ability to type in "il" and have it automatically change to "I'll"
Hi - did anybody find a solution to this? I've been searching high and low!
I'm in exactly the same boat - I love HTC keypad as it really helps me use the Kaiser one-handed, but I really miss the auto-correct on the hardware keyboard.
Is there a version of this SIP that doesn't break auto-correct?
I tried the HTC phonepad, but just couldn't get used to it after using the newer Keypad.
I would love to have a good T9 style SIP, but also have autocorrect on the hardware keyboard......anybody that can help?
Thanks!
I'd noticed that too, quite annoying as the touch keypad is so useful.

I too found the same issues yet I loved the T9 input using the touch pad. I removed the xT9 one and installed this one instead.
You still get T9 and it works fast too. The internal keyboard auto correct also works with it too.
Is also made by HTC but can't remember where I found it. May have been on here before or recently.
I've been earching for a solution to this as well for months now. The autocomplete that XT9 disables is part of wm6 which it calls "word completion." When XT9 is installed via htc keypad, word completion ceases to work along with the feature that auto-fills contacts as you start to type a new SMS.
Thanks for posting that pkonepad cab, but unfortunately.that' the sip that radatia mentioned above. The buttons on the new HTC touch phonepad are bigger and easier to use.
What we really need is someone here that knows some programming to somehow alter the touch phonepad so that xt9 can be toggled on and off (without a registry change and restart), or better yet somehow change it to use a T9 like the phonepad's instead of xt9...
I have exact same problem. I love the htc virtual keyboard because became useful. However once I installed it, the hardware keyboard word completion no longer work I need that too because I use it.
I have another question, do anyone know if I can make the default windows word completion to auto select the top most word suggested list so I can just enter space bar to select it. Now I always have to use down key to select the word 1st. Not efficient.
Just wanted to bump this topic. There have got to be others out there who share our frustration... and someone who can put an end to it!
I've given up on the HTC Keypad, much as I like it and it making the device usable one-handed.
Have moved onto the PocketCM Keyboard as my preferred SIP just so that I can still keep word completion when using the hardware keyboard.
Hope that someone posts here if a solution is eventually found......
oh man!
I'm the opposite.. how I wish the hardware keyboard is not auto correct enabled when I use it.
I've tried dis-abling the auto correct etc.. dun seem to work..
now using Resco keyboard..
it's the next best thing, but kinda defeats the purpose of getting the tytn II in the first place.
Yes the touch keyboard has many issues when used on kaiser. i can't get autocomplete to work with the hardware keyboard either unfortunately.
I do know that "multiword completion" in the xt9 settings or whatever is a bad thing and causes other problems, so i uncheck that. But, still can't figure out how to get autocomplete to work.
I spent a lot of time searching and installing/uninstalling these things to try and find a perfect mix, no luck though. It's still QUITE usable for me, but i would like auto complete for hardware keyboard, though, i dont think i'd use it as i type realy fast anyways with it.
It's quite hard to justify buying a keyboard when we are able to install a free one that *almost* does what we want! pcmkeyboard with iphone buttons and XL touch skin is good, but i am realy starting to like xt9.
:-( i have this problem now and love the keyboard...
Not sure if i should be posting this elsewhere but here goes.
I downloaded the above app and put it on my Vario3 and all was well untill...
A) xt9 always activates when i open it...how do i turn this off
B) it fcks up the rest of my input methods i.e. the hadrware keyboard no longer types correctly...brings up the word prediction from the onscreen keybord.
Any1 anyideas?
yeah i also d/l this, it works well until i use my querty keyboard and the xt9 is on and it messes the input up...i am also looking for a way to turn that crap off...i am using it on a TILT....help....
Me too!
I've trid all sirts of input methods and really like this as a softeware keyboard but it ruins the slide out keyboard with all sorts of rubbish appearing, eg instead of an "a" I get "?" making the slide out keyboard useless.
Any solutions?
Found answer to this problem that corrects errors on slide out keyboard on Kaiser.
There seems to be more than one version of the HTC keyboard and this other one works fine. It is posted elsewhere on the forum.
I dont know how to link to the thread but the thread is by someone called 'gbunton' entitled 'Touch Keyboard - Keypad' and in the thread is a zipped CAB file called 'HTC Touch Keyboard +...pad USE THIS ON
im wondering if this exists or not? i thought since almost everything else was available perhaps someone had a cab for this or something very similar to the TOUCH keyboard config. or would this be a part of a Rom?>
its available, i dont have a direct link on this comp. but there are many throughought the kaiser forums
Look at the cab collection post
But note that on my kaiser, it was causing troubles to PocketCM Keyboard...
So I just kept this one : PocketCM keyboard
I also had some troubles with it... on german dictionary the keys stoped working and stuff... i removed it and Use PocketCm Keyboard...
I installed this and it worked very well with the kaiser for T9 text but unfortunatley you lost the ability to
When sending text or e-mail if you type the first couple letters it shows you a list of contacts which meet that description, with this keyboard installed it takes that away and you phisycally have to go into contacts and select them. i use this a lot so anyone that has worked out how to install the keyboard and keep this feature please post up.
Thanks
ive been testing both, my only qualm with PocketCM is some words cannot always be added. ITS VERY annoying...and also the keyboard is still somewhat too small for my fingers...im testing the HTC keyboard as we speak...seems alright but both have advantages
Hi,
After installing the HTC Touch keyboard/keypad on the Kaiser, the hardware keyboard does not still to work.
I do not wish to disable xT9 when using the Touch Keyboard but when switch to the normal keyboard, the hardware keyboard should work as per normal as well as the contact autocomplete.
Anyone can help on this?

After installing, the contact autocomplete feature seems to be disabled.
Also, the predictive text feature for both hardware keyboard and soft keyboard seems to be disabled as well instead the xT9 menu will appear.
Can this issue be resolved?
this cab disables XT9 in my dual, maybe you can give it a try..
Cheers..
For a week I am a lucky owner of the Xperia X1. And it is everything I thought it would be!
But I have a question about the T9 function.
The Touch Pro suggest words (and has a T9 function also?) when entering text with the keyboard, is that also possible with the Xperia?

To a certain extent, it can suggest up to 4 words (or possibly more if you edit the registry) and that's enabled via the Options menu for the keyboard SIP. Personally I feel the Xperia's implementation of the autocomplete and especially autocorrect isn't nearly as robust as the Touch Pro, but something's better than nothing.
You can still install the Touch Pro On-Screen keyboard and T9 if you don't like the X1 default T9.
But does that improve the autocorrect/autocomplete functionality for the hardware keyboard? I read somewhere that installing that will actually disable whatever autocorrect/autocomplete feature that's currently on the Xperia.

no it'll break the autocomplete function when using hardware keyboard.
the only thing i dont like about my X1 is the difficulty in SMS text messaging
is the on screen keyboard you guys are referring to the same as the on screen touch panel when you go to dial a phone number?
the same as 'traditional' phone keyboards?
if so, where can i download this function at?
many thanks

Yea, but why use a software touch keyboard when u got a nice hardware keyboard to work around with?
I find the hardware keyboard much more of us. And one of the reasons I (we?) brought the Xperia because of his hardware keyboard.
i do like the hard keyboard, but the thing i loved about my older SE phones was i could use the T9 predictive text, and text very fast and effortlessly using the predictive testing and the traditional keys, where as with this, sending a SMS is quite an effort!
so is there an on screen keypad the same as when you press the receiver button and see the keypad?

LOL... I spent ages trying to find the perfect soft keyboard for my device after losing the ability to use my favourite (PPCLink HiKeyboard) because of screen incompatibility. THEN it dawned on me! I actually have a hardware keyboard, I just forget it's there sometimes DOH!

Did anyone find this yet?
I saw something about being able to access a t9 phonepad when using the chinese keyboard but it wouldn't work on my x10 and I loathe the qwerty boards on this phone.
