Hello here,
I have lost Autocomplete of Contacts when writing a name in the To: Field of an Sms message.
I have Fun Contact installed, which gives the contacts an iPhone type look, since then it's been playing up. I have since uninstalled this, but it still doesn't provide suggestions of names in my contacts list, when I begin to type a name in the To field.
It's very annoying and one of my favourite features of using Sms on Windows Mobile.
Any Suggestions would be really appreciated.
Regards.

Does other predictive input work fine with your default keyboard? One more thing, when you try entering a contact name, the predictive function searches only for the contacts with numbers entered in the "mobile number" field. Check if your contact has the number there.

Carty..
I lost that feature when I installed touch keyboard + keypad from dutty's collection
but after uninstalling them its fine now
Hey Carty,
Thanks, that's something I hadn't checked. My other predictive imput isn't working either. I have an idea why it might be. I downloaded KaiserTweak and, changed quiet a few things with it.
I set the Autocomplete to suggest me 6 words and this option is not available from the Drop down menu in the settings menu Of WordComplete.
It is not working anymore even though I have set them both to 3 words and after entering 3 letters. I have since Soft reset the device? Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Found the Answer
As I was saying I had made some changes with the KaiserTeaks app.
One of the changes I had made was to Enable XT9 under the Text Message options.
I realised this just now as I was going through the options and have set it to disable XT9, which is the default and this has fixed the problem
Hope this helps someone out there.
thanks y0u5uf,
will try it out seems like your suggestion is the easiest way out since i installed app like kaiser tweak, touch keyboard+keypad
is there any way that i can erase the words that i have wrote in my predictive text, are they stored somewhere where i can just go into and delete them, i want to start all over??
nvm i got it lol sorry
SMS Input
I have a similar issue. When I enter a character in the "to" field I dont get a list of choices to pick from. BUT, if I hit backspace and erased a character the names and/or numbers pop up.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this?

Hi, I'm new here and I have a problem with SMS screen. When I start new SMS, the screen does not show any window for me to view what I'm typing or send to people. Is this a set up issue or I have to do a hard reset? Thanks for the help.
HELP!!! Im having sms issues now too.
When I reply or make a new sms - all I get is a blank screen. If i type anything, nothing comes up.
This all seemed to have happened after I tried some of the other input methods - eg. Transcriber. Plz help
I've also been having this issue. It's sporadic and doesn't happen all the time, but the text input field will be missing and the only way to get it back up is by hiding the keypad, then bringing it back up again. It does this with the default keyboards as well as touchpal. Any clues would be helpful. It also did this with the stock ROM as well as Swifty ROM which I'm currently using.
Hi, I've searched around on here and can't seem to find an answer to this one!
When I send a text message I have to actually click on the "To:" box and scroll through my contacts!
When I had my hermes I just typed the name of the contact into the box and the matching names were listed below the "To:" box. Like the smart dialing does.
Is there a way to enable this on the diamond? It's really annoying to have to go into cantacts all the time!
Which ROM are you using? This feature DOES exist in every Diamond ROM as far as I know. You start keying in the first 1-2 letters of the first or last name and you get a popup which you can scroll through.
Oh no! It must just be me then!
Err. I'll try a hard reset and see if that resolves it?
Maybe it's just got screwed up somehow. I thought it seemed like a strange thing to leave out!
Will be back if that hard reset doesn't sort it out.
1.37.405.1 Orange ROM btw
Try a soft reset first mate.
This isn't usually Hard Reset material because it is a core feature of the Diamond
Are you using the default ms keyboard by any chance? If so, then run a 'disable t9.cab' or something similar name (sorry, I forgot) from Dutty, it will enable the showing up of the contacts when typing first characters
And if that fails you could select your contact first and click send sms.
hey there,
i just recently update my att tilt to a new rom that was generously created by someone here. what i notice is the text messaging function lost one thing that i would like back. on the old default rom, if i was to start typing in the name of the person i am trying to send a message, the contact would list a few ppl that would be my possible choice. as of right now i have to go to menu and add reciept and i think that just takes to long. any cabs out there to fix this?
thanks in advance
try this
i had that same problem, but i found out that if i type the name and just hit space, it will show up at the bottom and you can select from a single-line menu and use the left and right d-pad buttons to select your contact without going through the hassle of adding a recipient and all that...
hopefully that helps?
wow that did the trick!
I thought this would fix itself over time, but it hasn't.
When I text, if I start typing in the name of the person, the HTC Diamond starts to suggest names after two letters. I really like this feature.
Sometime this summer, this stoped working for my wife's name (and you can imagine that a lot of texts go to her!). There were two contacts entries for her, I deleted one and updated the other. Her contact information is updated with ActiveSync correctly. But when I type the letters of her first name, it brings up similar names, but NOT hers.
How can I restore this to the way it was working without a hard reset?
Thanks.
I tried deleting her contact completely, syncing, adding her contact back in, syncing. Then went to text and typed in her name but is was not part of the autocomplete choices.
What is going on; is there a limit to the number of autocomplete names? Are all my new contacts being turncated out? (I have 1325 contacts).
Thanks in advance for any and all assitance.
Hi,
When i was on Fr19 i thought it was a bug, that when i make a new sms, and whatn to enter phone number that is not in the book, i have to use that stupid qwerty keyboard :S Now that i moved to new GB Rom, i still have this issue, either stock app or other marjet app as Go SmS pro.
I know i can choose in layout but i want it to be by default as Dialpad when entering a phone number
Anyone have a tip or hack to do this ?
thanks
You can use the default LG keyboard, or touchpal or any 12-key phonepad.
thanks for reply but did you understood my question ?
When i go into New SMS and want to type a number i get a normal qwerty keyboard, it is annoying to type numbers on it. What i want is a normal Phone numeric dialpad, which is more logic to automatically have when typing a phone number.
I am using the default LG keyboard.
I can do it by changing the Layout input of keyboard, but that problem is than it stay like this and for text i have to again change the layout to get qwerty keyboard,
You can understand it is quite annoying :S
Is this a normal behiviour ? or it ie me who is having an issue ?

It's quite normal. The reason is simple: The input field can be used *either* for inputting a phone number *or* for quickly searching your contacts. Searching your contacts requires letters, therefore the default keyboard is alpha-numeric. Unless you use another messaging app which allows you to input phone-numbers *only*, it will remain this way.
I can understand that we need to search so the keyboard is Standard Qwerty that show up when yoy first click
But what is not logic is when i press 123 it should understand that i dont want to search by name but type the number so it should show the Dialpad, that is how it works in iphone
So in Andriod it is normal and standard to have always qwerty keyboard :s I am surprised no one else has complained, may you guys only send SMS to your contact list lolzzz

Well, if Apple has that functionality, you can bet they've patented it as well, barring anyone else from using it.
Myself I cannot come up with any reason for SMSing anyone not in my contact list, but I'm sure you can.
Anyway, for now, that's the way it is on Android. (But I'm sure you can find another messaging app which will do what you want, until the patent-trolls notice.)
Hey mate,
Don't remember if on stock it's this way, but i'm on miui and I can enter Phone app(Dialer), dial a number with the number pad and then select "Send Message" so the sms app directly puts that phone on the message receiver...
Hope that works to u!!!
That can do a trick. I never used the dialer to send sms but thanks for the tip
No it is not dependent of what sms app you use all give same result as it is core feature of android.
Only way i found is to use another keyboard swiftkey which 123 is in Matrix format so more like a dialer but smaller
But i really hope someone can make a mod hack to show dialpad it will be handy and more logic

Or perhaps the ?123 key doesn't send us into a blind panic?
Lol
I buy a lot from site like kijiji. So i send a lot of sms to numbers which are not in contact list
Anyway having Dialpad when pressing 123 is more logic. Either in phone feild we want to type a name or a number
