I love (so far) my HTC Diamond but there is one pretty annoying problem. It seems I cannot get word suggestions while typing and this is for any keyboard type.
Any ideas?
Same problem in the IPAQ 614c
I am having the same problem on my IPAQ 614c. I installed this file to disable to XT9 option but it did not help. It may work for you. I would love to get an answer to my problem. Many thanks.
Jay
Could you please post a link to the discussion where this file is described?
Have you played around with the T9 settings?
Start/settings/input/ (check the word completion tab here and choose your options)
Go back to unput method tab
Have compact Qwerty in the window/Options/T9 settings
unfortunately this doesn't work.
keyboard
The best is TouchPal 3.0
correction, I'm speaking about default WM keyboard not about HTC one.
Ok, do you have a Word Completion tab in your input settings?
If so, which options have you chosen?
I have tick Suggest word when entering text
Suggest after entering 4 letters
Suggest 4 words
Tick in Add space after word
Tick in Enable Auto Correct.
I'm sorry, I was wrong, I just tried this out myself, and mine isn't working either. I've never used the normal keyboard before, as it's so small, but it seems like having the Touch keyboards stops that word suggestion happening in normal keyboard. My apologies.
There seems to be a solution to this problem here: PocketCM Keyboard. Good luck! I have tried it and it works great. Awesome!
This Should Work

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
I've done a a lot of reading and made good progress, but I'm stuck on this one.
I'm using "Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27 [FIX]" build atm and while it's fast and I like it for the most part, the keyboard is horrible, takes up half the screen is missing keys and I really don't like it. I've tried to get back the original keyboard but it won't all me to switch from the one he has built into the rom. I've uninstalled the pcm keyboard and installing Keyboard_Cert.reg KeyboardSkins.CAB and also SJ KeybSkin_Touch.cab. in several variations. At best I was able to turn the keyboard white with black letters.
How can i get rid of the pcm keyboard and load the defaults.
please help
p.s. How come many of the dutty roms and have a password and they say the password is in the 1st/2nd post but it's not? I read some of those 6 times and searched them for "pass" and never found the password. I found some people listing a password later in the thread, but it was a password that did not work.
Am I writing in the wrong language or something? I've spent at least 20 hours reading wikii and faq's and post after post and seariching with google and the site's built in search only to wind up going in circles, trying to find specific answers, but not getting anywhere.
Would someone please point me to the info or just tell me ?
Still need help
yea this thread should be answered i have having the same problem..
I have Duttys Diamond V1 ROM. I didn't like the default kayboard or the XT9 that guesses what word your trying to type. My ROM did have the original defult keyboard installed but it would not stay my defult keyboard after a soft reset. I'm not sure exactly what you issue is but this might help.
Install "disable XT9" cab to disable XT9
Install "SIP change" cab change the defult kayboard to the one of you choice.
the above can be found here (look for post 139, should be the 4th post down):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398271&page=161
I'm also including:
the "OEM default Keyboard" cab, with I assume installs the OEM keyboard (if you don't have it), and "Tilt keyboard fix" incase you have a Tilt with a hardware keyboard that dosen't have the FN keys coerectly mapped fot the Tilt.
Hope that's what you looking for.
Thanks worked fine only took about 1 min.

Hi,
I don't know what I've done, but when I'd like to write some message, or whatever, the original keyboard (full qwerty, or compact qwerty) keyboard starts up with the symbol pad and it's not possible to switch it back to alphanumeric mode. The only way is to invoke keyboard switch menu and select the same keyboard again. then it works as usual. Does anybody have the same problem?
as I said, I don't know, what I've done, or installed, bud I think, I've installed Advanced config 3.0 recently
I have the same problem... I also don't know what is wrong.
I also tried to disabled T9 with some tricks... that's all...
Some suggestions??
Thnx
Since yesterday I also have a problem with my HTC keyboards.
All 3 options, Qwerty, Compact Qwerty and the phonepad only gives me numbers.
I have tried all the settings.
It does not make a diverence if i turn of T9.
On the keyboard i can see the nummbers and the letters.
This is very irritating, can somebody please help?
Or is there an original cab version, al the cabs i can find are Qvga.
I have tried the Touch keyboard and it gives letters in stead of numbers, but its Qvga.
Thanks
Same problem here on the CDMA Diamond, I tried two different ROMs already the Sprint Stock ROM and a Telus Custom Juicy's 2.0 ROM. I can't use it at all and I hate doing a Hard Reset. Someone shed some light on this please.
Same problem here, have tried everything
Well I solved the problem by uninstalling PCM Keyboard... Too bad, I really liked it
Does anybody know if it's possible to run pcm keyboard without having this issue on the diamond?
since day 1 my keyboard did not show predict text ? anyone can help me ?
I had the same problem , it appeared from nowhere ..
After also trying different tricks , i solved the problem using Resco Keyboard
Pro ... It also responds much better to my taste with the touch screen
interface of the diamond.
I have had this problem on the Touch Pro too having used PCM keyboard.
Unistalled it and all back to normal.
Pity.
Same here, alas PCM's copy & paste was cool, but not if I can't use the other keyboards...

How do you use copy & paste with PCM? Which version of PCM keyboard are you using?
Hi, do you have a problem when you need to type text message but only one hand is free? Standard on screen keyboard has to small letters, for me it is impossible to use hardware keyboard with one hand. It will be great to install keyboard which will mimic standard mobile phone keyboard one click on 1 will type a, two clicks b, and so on… and which will cover half of screen similar to keyboard which pop ups when you are calling someone.
It will be great if someone posts link where I can download that additional keyboard for wm6.1
Thanks
Your Solution

Have Fun, Its free.
Just install cab, restart phone and then select PCM Keyboard from drop up menu for keyboard.
Any Probs, Message Me.

there are a lot of keyboard you could use for your device. All you have to do is a small and simple search with google, altavista or if you prefer in this forum too.
btw, you can look for Cooteck Touchpal, PocketCm, Resco Keyboard, Spb Keyboard and of course the one extracted from Diamond (P1TATER or similar)
good luck and sorry for bad english.
fausto
Sorry to say it, but for one hand operation I don't think anything beats the standard cell phone hardware keypad.
there is this HTC keypad.cab..that looks like the conventional cellphone keypad hardware..im still looking for it too
Check out the Touchpal keyboard before you make your decision once you get used to it you can type faster with one hand then some people with two.

Just wanted to say thanks. I hated this type of keyboard with it no individual key layout when I tried a similar version before. BUt this one is great.Takes some getting used to but I going to give it a week and see how it goes.
Many thnks!
No problem once I got used to it there is no comparison I hardly even use the hardware keyboard because it is slower than Touchpal. Good Luck
-McMex
what do you guys think about the Resco Keyboard Pro. I have been using that and seems ok.
All apologies for the unintentional hijack, but I installed PCM Keyboard and also Touch Diamond Keyboard, but now word completion no longer works. They work great, but I checked word completion settings and it is set, but no longer suggests words. Is this normal?

I found it to be the best. I downloaded some nicer iSkin layouts
Every time I try to use the PocketCM, nothing happens when I change to it in the menu where I can select which entry type I want.....what am I doing wrong?
I have used all other keyboards including Resco etc but I have found that SPB Keyboard is now the best. It has an option to have the keyboard in landscape mode and it becomes very big, enabling one to type with one hand very easily. Try it out. It also has many skins available for download from SPB's site.

i agree spb keyboard is great, but how do you make it as the default keyboard? it seems that after a soft reset the keyboard goes to the orig. one and have to select spb KB again.
I tried all keyboards and didn't like any. Then I found "EZ input". It works best for me.
try/google for SPB KEYBOARD v4.x
in my opinion, the best keyboard i've ever tested (and i've tested a lot of..)!
unfortunately it isn't freeware.. but the money worth(?) it

If you activate the Spb Keyboard, Tap on the sip arrow, go to Spb Keyboard Options>System tab then check box to make it default keyboard. Then it is always there even after soft resets. There are also several different skins to download for free from Spb's site. My favourites are skin4 and stainless. I use skin4 all the time now because keys are nice and big for my fingers.

hi, thanks for the response.
i did that already and even in the input method but every after soft reset the keyboard is the one appearing and not the spb KB, i have to select it again.
FingerTouch v1.0
I found FingerTouch v1.0 and I think Is´s better then SPB Keybord, because FingerTouch have relly big buttons and with this keybord is relly possible to write with one hand during walking. If I were you I would try It because It´s excelent keybord. It has 4 or 5 types of keybords and you can download a lot of skins.
