Anyone out there successfully installed CalliGrapher 8.5 onto the Tilt and got it working properly?
For me, it installed ok, but I am NOT able to select the Write Anywhere or Write Pad SIPs. When I click on the SIP selector icon, it takes about 8 seconds before the popup menu appears with the list of SIPs. And though I then manually select Write Anywhere, the popup screen goes away, but the SIP does not change.
I have a strong suspicion that it is conflicting with Voice Command because at one point I had it installed before Voice Command was installed and it worked fine. But I need to do more testing to see.
But I read on a blog that someone also experienced the same thing, but he reverted to 8.3 and it worked fine.
Launching the application via Start | Programs... produces the same results. The only difference is that I get the splash tip screen, but I still can't select the Write Anywhere SIP.
So, if you have any suggestions and especially if you are also running Voice Commander 1.6 alongside CalliGrapher 8.5, please let me know! Thanks very much!
I'm running both, but with the keyboard I'm using Calligrapher very little. In fact, their stupid dictionary irritates me so much I end up switching back to the regular keyboard sip. What irritates me is that when i'm NOT using Anywhere, just the sip keyboard or full keyboard, it no longer 'suggests' words or more importantly contacts/email addresses.
Finally the recognition for my handwriting is just off enough that I have to make too many corrections to be worthwhile.

Is anyone having the problem where they pick another input type (i.e. PCM Keyboard, TouchPal) and it defaults back to the WM Keyboard? I like to use a soft keyboard for "one-handed" use sometimes. Anyone know of a workaround or fix?
Do a search for SIP changer.cab It allows you to set your default keyboard and it will restore it after a soft reset.

I downloaded the SIPChange program and it didn't seem to help. When I reboot, it still comes up with the MS Keyboard. When I select another input method like PCM Keyboard or TouchPal, it goes back to keyboard. Any ideas? This is getting extremely frustrating.
I found with sip changer, you need to run it and make the selection there and confirm it with the button in the middle of the screen, not the OK button in the top right.
If that doesn't help, I'm at a loss as it works fine for me.
If I understand the OP correctly, it isn't simply an issue of what defaults, it's an issue of being able to select the 3rd party keyboard, period. I have the same problem with ToughPal... I install touchpal, it works for a while, then after a while it can't be selected. It's in the pop-up list to select, but selecting it results in the standard keybard. I uninstalled, re-installed, and it worked for a while, and now it's back to not working.
SIP Change also addresses the issue of the 3rd party keyboards not showing up correctly. I'd tried PocketCM keyboard and it had failed, but SIP Change fixed that once I'd executed it correctly.

I tried a couple of things as well. One of them was to change the setting to 5 seconds first. That didn't work. Once I changed it back to 10 seconds, it worked fine on this reboot. Will post back here if I run into problems again. Also, I only tested it with PCM Keyboard and not TouchPal.
When I install the keypad I get something really weird and unwanted when I want to write a new text message.
Without the keyboard installed I can write the first couple of letters of a contact and it will give me a list of contacts that match that set of letters. however once the touch keyboard is installed I just get its own autocomplete kick in... even when I submit the letters the contact popup doesn't come up?
Does anyone know a way of keeping the contact functionality and the keyboard at the same time?
I've tried disabling XT9 reg file in one of duttys threads, still no joy
Yeah the exact same thing happened on mine and unfortunatley i couldnt find a solution either and eneded up removing it from the device, this being a real shame cause it was very useful specially for texting one handed.
A part solution is to send new text, use touch keyboard to enter first couple letters like you would before then menu / check names it should then bring up a list of ones that partially match, bit long winded though.
Anyone else found a solution to this?
Anyone found a solution to this? I'd love to be able to use the htc pad...!
can anyone recommend a better input thing that will preserve the mentioned function?
I just press the 'to ' text yo the left and use the list , tis fairly fast -- but now I must go as my battery is almost dead!
Its quicker to just to press a letter
Can't anyone think of a fix!!?
Can I just use the sip file or something from the cab?
I've found a cab to disable the XT9 and it means that you can press a letter and it will come up with contacts matching the letter... however it messes up the touch keypad and board.. they both just display all the letters and numbers. :/
so, where is the cab file then ?
Hmmm I think i saw the cab file somewhere
Hi have upgraded my orange tytn ii over the weekend but i am having a few issues. Used the official wwe htc rom.
When i go to send a message and open the keyboard the menu is blank. Yet if i close the keyboard, the menu is there.
Also when entering the text the suggested word box is either blank or comes up in japenense or chinese. Again when i close the keyboard the words are in english?!!
The on screen keyboard is also different to the 6.0 build. The numbers are no longer present across the top. Is there any way of reverting back to this.
So far i'm not that impressed, i'm thinking of reverting back.
Any help would be great.

U need to disable cleratype in landscape. U can do it in KaiserTweak or Advanced Config Tool.
U can istall another keyboard, just find the one u want and install it.
"press OK to continue loading the contents of this page"
Is there an official, supported, safe way of going back? For now I am not recommending the upgrade:
I installed it on my TyTN II. Not good. Several problems, most seem related to Pocket Internet Explorer, an intermittent "press OK to continue loading the contents of this page" message pops up when loading some pages and when opening some email messages in the built in messaging client.
Sometimes the device enters a state in which it stops responding every few seconds, with a window of about two seconds of responsiveness. When this happens, control of the device can be regained by using a program like FdcSoft Task Manager (TaskMgr.exe) to kill PIE.
There is some difficulty in switching the phone from automatic WCDMA/GSM to GSM only, the phone setting application seems to hang.
I tried using PIEPlus to disable scripting and KaiserTweak to turn off threaded SMS thinking that it might help, but the "press ok" bug persists.
Googling around this problem seems to have popped up (pun intended) previously, well... years ago. Scary.
If anybody has found solutions to this issue please post. Thank You.

What do u mean by that?
About the screen freezes: did u install the latest spl?
"press ok to continue" SOLVED
I meant reverting to 6.0.
SPL? No. I just used the official download from HTC to upgrade the stock 6.0 that came with my Kaiser to 6.1
Anyway, I found what seems to be the solution for the annoying "press ok to continue" problem. Using a registry editor, navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main and make sure BlockStaticActiveX is set to zero.
And after hard resetting the device and a full reinstall the lock-up naver came back. Very strange.
So in general I am doing good now with 6.1, except for the same garbled text problem if I slide open the keyboard when Pocket Internet Explorer has the cursor in a text field.
Hi all,
I've finally narrowed down where all my sytem crashes are coming from, and it appears to be my installations of "duttythroy HTC Touch Keyboard" and "HTC Touch Keyboard + Keypad"
Both are installed (HTC one first, then duttythroy), and when I come to type something, the options are there in the pop-up menu ("Touch Keyboard" "Touch Keypad"), however if I select one, the normal keyboard appears and the selected entry jumps back to "Keyboard", so I'm guessing thats because it failed to access/load the touch keyboard?
So I then go to uninstall, and it cannot uninstall either of them, it sits forever with the little spinning icon as it tries to uninstall, eventually failing by either locking the device needing a reset, or by popping up saying it cannot remove the application at this time.
Can anyone provide me manual removal details for this application, I'll need registry, files, etc to remove it as cleanly as I can if possible.
Thanks in advance
I dont know about your system crashes, but the solution to the keyboard and keypad problem is found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008
Hiya,
Thanks for that but I don't believe thats the actual issue, as its not between resets that it won't permit me to select the touch keyboard, its actually when I manually select the touch keyboard it cancels that and reverts back.
So, I really need to manually clean/uninstall these applications that appear to have become corrupted somewhere along the way.
That is the actual issue with the keyboard, it wont let you select it at all - if you read back through the post linked above it's not aimed at setting a default selection, it's to make it work at all!
I had the same issue, clicked on either and it would just stay on keyboard and so have many others. Installation of SIPchange sorted it. Maybe then you can rule out this being the problem for your system crashes?
Good luck
Software Keyboard (seems fast)
Try FingertouchPRO, the layout is customizable and so is the keyboard height, I was able to make this as big as fullscreen and also little as I liked.
The cab resides on www.fingertouchpro.com , just click the big CAB button.
There is a movie showing this toy in action, the speed (if it's real) is incredible!
heya,
NB: Replace the text "REPLACE" with http and www, and the text "REPLACE2" with just http. As a sidenote, if a mod sees this, can they please verify my account - getting annoying not being able to post links...lol. Thanks.
I'm on Froyo 2.2 (well, the test image that's out) on a Nexus One.
I read about the new swipe for number bad feature here:
REPLACE.androidcentral.com/froyo-feature-better-stock-android-keyboard
However, it seems intermittently unrealiable on mine, particularly when I use it in Messaging. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Has anybody else noticed that? Any tips to get it to always trigger?
Also, I read that in 2.1 you could trigger voice input by swiping left-to-right.
REPLACE.androidcentral.com/quick-tip-swipe-keyboard-bring-voice-input-21
I can't seem to get this working in 2.2 at all (and I've never used 2.1). Has anybody else got this working? If so, any particular tips I could check? (I've tried both having the Mic button on main keyboard and symbols keyboard, neither made a difference).
Other people seem to report something similar, just not sure if this is verified, or how common the issue is?

I do find the Android keyboard a little weird and inaccurate, probably just still getting used to it (only day 3).
Cheers,
Victor
