I have the same problem as yours. Is this a bug in Diamond because I haven't had this before with my Tytn II?

type "william" then press and hold the space key to get a " " (space); then type "b" to get wiliam beta.
press space key without holding it will select willam apple in your example.

i too feel it should, but, either the feature is not there or I've not found the correct procedure to get the list.

yes...press Menu->Check Names. OK?

Guys, what you are all refering too is the famous t9 bug. (already in TytnII diamond ROM releases)
Look for "disable t9" cab , run it and use original (not Diamond) keyboard and you'll see ALL names when one or two or more letters are typed.
You will also have word completion / suggestion running than.
it is a workaround as there seems to be no full solution yet to have all names visible with t9 enabled in Diamond KB mode

Press the left or right or down button to see another contact.

I have been searching about this issue and only managed to find this thread. Has this by any chance been solved? It is annoying me to no end. The Left or right button press dows not do it for me!
If I have "Adam Alpha" and "Adam Beta" in my contacts list there seems to be NO WAY to choose Adam Beta except through the add recepients function in the menu. On my old touch, I used to be able to add receipients by simply typing the first few letters of a contact and the list of contact options would show up! This sux so bad now! If I type in the name, there is simply NO way at all to get "Adam Beta"...you can only get Alpha!
Grrrrrr.... Using that cab and the WM keyboard is not a solution for me....I need a thumb capable solution....

Have you tried the check names option in Menu?

Thanks save ferris....I didn't realize that option was available....helps. However, it is still two keypresses longer than before. You have to press menu, and then check names....before, if you just typed in Ada, the names/options would show up to choose from immediately....
It seems to be a step backwards in design to me. I was just wondering if there was some kind of potential registry fix to show more options...

Paste option in Phone

I have one very important missing in my Diamond.
When I want to call one number that is written somewhere (if someone send it to me by SMS or if I write it in a note) usually in my Qtek s200 I copied and then pasted the number in phone (the option paste was in the menu)... now in the diamond I don't find this option in the menu!?!?!?!?! How is it possible?!?! Do I have to write it somewhere else and then use it in phone?!?!!
Please... do someone have an idea??
Thnx!!
Urosh
I also am missing this feature is it hidden somewhere??
i dont have this problem
errr im not sure how you did it on your old phones but this is how i do it for an sms for example: click on SMS in TF3D, get rid of keyboard, then highlight the text/number i want in the received message, then long press on the highlighted text and menu pops up so say copy (and some other options) i then click copy...
go to where i want to put the number, long press on screen again, same menu pops up, i select paste... whats the problem, am i missing something here?
Usually if you want to call and the number is in SMS, it is usually highlighted and you can click it and it will ask if you want to call it.

The first part is ok.... but then if you want to call the number that you have copied (it means that it is in your clipboard) how do you do this? In the s200 I started Phone and then Menu and there was an option Paste and the number that I copied was pasted ready to be dialed. But now here there is no paste option in the Menu.
Kraize92... and if it is not?!? Paper and pencil??

This may be specific to the dialer used in your ROM. But generally, you can copy the number in your email/text/mms or whatever. Then when you open your phone's dialer, if you have a Menu option (lower right soft key in my case), you should have an option to paste. It will then put the number into your phone pad.

I realised that the paste function is present in the phone status menu (and not in phone keypade menu), but it is impossible to use because it comes out while you have a conversation. The problem still persists!! Any suggestion how to paste a copied number in the phone keypad???
Thnx

No, I'm not using the ROM you referenced. Never even touched the Diamond before. Just speaking in generalities based on my experience with other HTC devices and Windows Mobile.
So I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "it is impossible to use because it comes out while you have a conversation". Are you saying you're trying to paste a number into the dialer WHILE you are having a conversation on the phone?
Normally when you paste a number into the dialer it will open the keypad and put the number into the same field as if you'd pushed the soft number buttons on the screen. It doesn't matter if the keypad is up or not when you paste. You just need to have the paste option in your dialers menu.

Exactly this is the problem... I don't have a paste option in the dialer menu... like I had in my Qtek s200!

Yes. I met this issue too.
Anyone? Thanks.
/////////////
Sorry about my English. Highlight the phone number received, such as SMS, to restrain the phone number, click Copy.
Then enter the dialer, click on " # " in the lower right corner on the menu and already is the desired Paste.
I have Menu->Paste in my Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Atom Life and Xda II Mini.
From experience, the Menu->Paste command normally went missing if you installed other dialer. Even after you uninstall them, it won't be there anymore. So far, I never tried to find the solution for it.
Anyway, if you're using the stock rom, hard reset would definitely bring back Menu->Paste. I'm not sure about cooked rom.

Messages name auto complete

Ok, so when I used to start typeing a contacts name in the 'to' field of message, it would give me a list of names or numbers after putting in a few letters or numbers. Now I have to put in a couple letters/numbers and then go to check name. Anyone have any idea how i turned this off.

u want to send sms to Johny, start typing to the name field "Jo" and then push the space bar on your keyboard, an option of the possible names should pop up at the bottom.

ok, now I feel a bit retarded, don't remember doing that before, but guess it was. Thanks.
Have loaded any new touch keyboards to your device. For me, that feature will stop working after I add any new keyboards. It will come back for a bit after a soft reset, but then it goes away again. Once I remove the offending keyboard, then it works again... I wish I could have both.
I have a similar problem if I use large title bar. When its loaded, the roller wheel on the side no longer controls call volume... Again, wish I had both!

You should't have to enter a space to get the options. It should appear as your typing.
As mentioned above if you installed a keyboard from another device, such as the Touch or Diamond, with T9/XT9 you will lose this auto complete and word suddgestion. There is a disable XT9 cab witch will give you the auto complete and word suddgestion back, but cause the non defult keyboards to enter number only, no letters. it that is the case you have to decide witch is more important to you.
Did you install another keyboard? or did it just stop working as it had?
I will agree that the Installation of Customer SIPs like PCMKeyboard or something else will interfere with this..

yes, but its the workoround if u have installed other sips. I dont hyave this isue and have resco keybord installed, so that one is not causing the issue.

Correct, but I was just replying to him saying:

because he shouldn't feel stupid, because he did't have to do it previously.

TouchPal 3.5 and HTC Diamond = incompatibility !!!

Does anyone else have the following problem ?:
When you go to the SMS tab, and press the small box to start writing new SMS, if you use the original Diamond keyboard, you can just type a few letters of your contact and it will fully appear. If you use TouchPal (I'm using version 3.5), this feature is disabled, you have to type your entire contact name every time, it doesn't recognize the first few letters and try to find a match. This is SO annoying !
Please tell me there is some workaround...
Could it be that the Diamond's original keyboard stores all the contact information in the Keyboard dictionary ?, if this is true, it means no keyboard apart from Diamond's original will allow quick find of contacts in SMS...
no problem with me..
say for eg you wanna call "home"
just press H O and enter and then it will detect home in my contact.
i suspect the problem may be.. touchpal "store" what you pressed in its own list instead of going up to the SMS directly..
Same problem. Would love to see an solution, but I think there is none...
Wizard,
Do you have the Touchpal keyboard ???
its free for personal use available online..
The contacts don't display when you start typing, but if you only type a few letters and then press send a page appears with all contacts that have the letters you've typed in their names. You can then tap the contact you wish to send to.
I don't find it a problem.

just in case you guys are still experiencing this problem, i found a fix at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=241036
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\Ime File
set the Ime File value from \windows\eT9ime.dll to compime.dll
soft reset device.
yea i think touchpal has alot of problems. liek the new v3.5 when i ever type in the word "its" or "were" in my sprint diamond, phone restarts wtf and same thing in the htc mogul.
Anyone have this issue to or a fix to it?

Unfortunately hit "send"

Hallo
I'm tired of all the the time hitting "send" by mistake when I'm typing a sms.
Does there exist a tweak so you need to hold the send bottom in for a while for it to send? So you can't press it quick..
The right notice
I have suffered from this when using extra thingie to enter (exotic) estonian letters like äüöõšž and if the device slows down a bit there (it happened just few times) then I notice that I unfortunately have pressed Send because the softbutton just had another function

Turn off TF3D! ;O)
Better solution:
FingerKeyboard 2.1 (search in Forum)
1. You get a better keyboard.
2. If you want, the keyboard covers the windows bar including the button "Send". You have to tap the keyboard away to push "Send". Works like a charm.

Don't use the 3DFO message. Simple as that.
I never use that, just the built in outlook to send text messages.
In fact I disabled the 3Dflo plugin in today and I'm using right now the standard today with all the plugins that I want.

you write a scipt using the "input keyevent" commands .. dont quote me on the command but its very similar to that .. and umm u gotta find the key mappings too ... i have it somewhere and will upload if u still need it
EDIT: uploaded a script that is almost 100% automated .. for some reason i cant get it to hit Menu so thats the only thing you have to do yourself ... after it brings you to your contacts you have 2 seconds to hit menu ... it should then go to the add contacts screen .. DO NOT hit anything besides menu from the time you start the script until you arrive at the add contact screen .... again this is a very crude script but it does what you want and with only ONE button press (not counting the one to start the script lol)
EDIT: also .. the manual way consists of only 4 button presses .. is that really too many? lol

4 button presses is actually too long. Numerous occasion where someone is giving me their number already and im still in the menu trying to add their contact number.

Why don't you just open up the keyboard and type in their number, then hit menu 'Add to contacts' ?
