hi i purchased vito sms chat and have had a problem with the typing in landscape mode, its not there. it doesnt appear in the text box until after it is sent. I had this issue in both wm6 and wm6.1 and have searched it for weeks and havent been able to find a solution, i tried disabling cleartype landscape and many other things but nothing seems to work. Can anyone point me in the right direction or has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance,
Fjc3
I've downloaded and tried the SMS-Chat, I think the problem is not the software but the WM6.1 have issue with displaying typed clear type text in landscape...
Vito's FunContact also does not work when you try to create/edit a contact and entered any text in landscape mode, texts simply would not show up untill you flip your screen back to vertical orientation...
I've sent a message to the tech support at VITO maybe they can give me an answer.
Unless the SMS-Chat have option to disable cleartype in landscape, it is not useable when typing in landscape mode using either QWERT keyboard or onscreen keyboard.

thanks for the reply, lets hope VITO can give us a solution!
I highly doubt Vito can give a solution other than revert back to 6.0 or just turn off cleartype in landscape.
6.1 doesn't allow it in any programs I have used.

I had the same problem with IE in landscape mode. I turned off cleartype and rebooted and it was fixed.

i had to do that for my IE as well but that fix doesn't seem to work for SMS-Chat.
actually i just noticed, oddly enough, if you type with keyboard (landscape) and then close keyboard before sending the message your written text appears in text box and if you slide open again the text will stay but new text will again be invisible... i have all cleartype disabled and cannot think of what the problem may be. maybe the application uses cleartype in landscape on its own???
You guys should try L26's Diamond V9 ROM. I have zero problem with cleartype in landscape mode in any application.

I am actually on L26 v9 coincidentally i have updated roms every time he comes out with a new one since v1 and check for v10 every day lol. I have no problems with other apps both in landscape and in portrait but this one is giving me a hard time tho.
This is serious issue, I have it on my tilt too and I havew l26V9 too... this is ridiculous...
I tried to change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings key: offonlandscape with no luck, anyone has any idea?
I have Alex's newest ROM, and have no difficulty using Vito SMS chat. I can see the text as I'm typing it in (in landscape mode, of course), and can see all of the messages I've received or sent. It's in cool colors, too!

I installed AT&T's WM6.0 Stock rom on my Tilt and it indeed works perfectly, so does Fun Contacts by Vito.
You can't simply disable cleartype in the system to solve this problem associated with Vito softwares. Why? Because the software itself forces the use of clear-type fonts regardless of system setting in landscape mode.
I've got a response back from VITO support, NO They can't fix this problem unless it is fixed by microsoft in WM6.1

that makes sense, i guess we will have to hope that the cleartype issue gets figured out in a new 6.1 ROM
Is there an alternative for that program?

PocketCM Keyboard is a freeware alternative. But I guess you've paied for Vito SMS Chat right? I would not be satisfied with their answer.
Vito should add an option to enable\disable in their program. Should not be the hardest thing to do.
Voice your concerns on http://www.technologyatplay.com/main-mobile/forums/forum-view.asp?fid=165
Seems its the VITO forum that their developer visit.
looks like this could be the solution to our problem.... i have asked Leo to include it in his next ROM. lets hope he does!

Hi
Since installing WM 6.1 from the Orange website on my Kaiser, all the popup menus display blank captions/text when the keyboard is slid out. Has anyone else encountered this issue? The menus work fine when using the Kaiser in "portrait" mode.
TIA

this is a problem with Windows Mobile 6.1 and cleartype in landscape. the only workaround: disable cleartype or flash back to 6.0
Thanks, that's done the trick
is there any other solution to do the trick..? i want to use cleartype..
htc tweak
hi,
50% solution:
you can use cleartype in portrait-mode when enabling via genereal setting.
BUT you have to disable it (via htctweak) in landscape mode, than you see all the menu-fonts.
-> htc tweaks (you find somewhere here)
cheers
Anyone have any suggestions for this one... I posted it on Google's Forum as well. I have done a bit of searching on XDA also with no luck thus far, thanks!
I have a Tilt with the HTC WWE 6.1 ROM on it, and everytime I use the directions option on Google Maps, I slide the keyboard open, select add new destination, and try to type an address. The cursor will move as I type, but the text cannot be seen... it is as if the font for this particular section goes to white, because the info comes up when I finish typing and go back to the screen to begin routing the directions. This only seems to happen when in landscape on the Tilt, and works fine when in portrait.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response... used KaiserTweak and changed that setting... still no luck. This started as soon as the update was pushed to my phone. Software related?
Yeah I'm seeing the same problem. I checked the registry and don't see any Google Maps-specific setting that could be changed to fix it.

Same problem with Ie and Google maps
I have the same problem in IE and Google Maps after upgradinf to official HTC Windows mobile 6.1 upgrade. I'm posting this message using Iris Browser and I've not any problem.
Ciao from Italy
also try disabling the cleartype in your phones settings i had this problem also until i did this and it stopped
Turning cleartype off worked for me.
Is there a solution to this that will allow the use of cleartype fonts? Things are really easier to read with cleartype turned on. Any other cooked ROMs out there found a way around this?
Phone: AT&T Tilt
ROM: Duttys Diamond 3.5 V1
Thanks.

I'm seeing this issue since I updated Google Maps today to version 2.2.0.16, but I do not have cleartype enabled.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that in my previous post - the phone's Cleartype settings do not seem to have any effect on Google maps, indicating that it's an additional setting set in google maps. This is on 6.1, not 6.0, and the stock AT&T ROM.
Have Cleartype off in the OS, have the same problem (only in landscape) in Google Maps. Don't have the problem in pocket IE.
The only fix is loading Kaiser Tweak? I thought Advanced Config superseded it but I can't find the setting in there...?
In Advanced Config, click Menu then More Settings (I think it's called), and then click ClearType... There's a checkbox at the top. Good luck.
When I'm trying to use PocketIE and I open up the keyboard (faster to type in)...I'm unable to read the text at the URL line or in the search box...but if I close the keyboard...then everything shows back up...
help?!?
same problem
Ihave the same problem. It is not universal, but it does happen in the google search box and a few other places as well. I had the same problem with a jade dialpad in that all that I saw was the white background and not writing. I am running the official 6.1 rom

Do not enable cleartype in landscape mode in any Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM based on the HTC official, they did changes to the video driver and it not longer works.
Just use Kaisertweak to disable cleartype in landscape mode.

I used Advanced Configuration Tool.
You can get it from:
http://julien.schapman.free.fr/touchxperience/advanced-configuration-tool.php
Install it and run it.
On the bottom right select "Menu"...then "More Settings"...then "ClearType"
Make sure that the "Enable ClearType on screen rotation" is turned OFF.
Click the OK at the BOTTOM LEFT of the screen...Followed by DONE.
It will ask you to soft-reset...select YES.
That's it.
Bah.. I just had my UK Vario III back from repair and it came with 6.1 (which oddly enough is still not available as an official update on the T-mob site). I wondered WTF I'd installed that had broken it :-/
No cleartype in landscape is pretty poor. I might need to think about flash another rom after all!
This is a cab that i used to ALWAYS use on my Kaiser to speed up the keyboard response of the device. Just tried it on my Fuze running ROMEOS and it definitely showed signs of improvement.
Install the CAB and soft-reset. Post your findings to this thread.
Makes this change:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409
Ime File=\windows\compime.dll
Layout Text=COMP IME
To Turn on again
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409
Ime File=\windows\eT9Ime.dll
Layout Text=eT9 IME
Hi, I've tried this registry hack on TouchHD with production firmware, and it certainly does disable XT9 and re-enable the native WM predictive text, *BUT* it makes my TouchHD slow to a crawl. The phone still works but extremely slow (like 2-3 second reponse delay) and also gets extremely hot behind the CPU. It's as though there is still some process in the background desperately making unanswered function calls to XT9. I've had to re-enable XT9 just to make my TouchHD responsive.
Can anyone point me to a CPU/process tool so I could see what it is taking up all those CPU cycles and generating all that heat when XT9 is disabled?
You tried that hack on the Touch HD? Does that even have a hardware keyboard? I don't think that it was supposed to work with that phone. (Maybe?)
yeah.. this would have no effect on sip inputs...
Well there is one problem i got is that when i install this tweak i cant type æøå on the hw keyboard:/ (norwegian keyboard) so is there away to use this tweak with norwegian keyboard support?
Still searching as well
I am also still searching for a way to get rid of the whole friggin' black et9 input bar, but keep my hardware keyboard to be responsive to the sym key, and the function key for typing euro sign and pound sign.
I hate the black input bar, especially since after you type first name in a text message address bar, and press space for a second name, it fills ion a name that's highlighted at the moment.
That's just so annoying...
Anyone any clue on how to deactivate et9, but keep the hardware keyboard fully functional?

I have jsut installed it on my kaiser and it seems to work very well, But i am also old school and running solace v1, works great thank you! no more.. t hanky ou...lol
just pade the registry change...
seems to be working well... barely any lag at all...
i've made this change VVV as well in hopes to fix this problem... it also helped a little
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
“InitialDelay”=dword: dec 775
“RepeatRate”=dword: dec 23
with this one tho seems a lot better.
After i uninstalled this "disable xT9" my manilla sms meny dissapeared... Anyone knows how to restore it?
this actually got my sip full qwerty keyboard stuck in number mode...
i just changed it back to et9ime.dll and it's back to normal...
too bad... seemed to work well for the hard keyboard.
Works well for me on my HTC Touch Pro.
Thanks heaps ... it's been bugging me for a while.

just a lil warning...
Be careful installing this on touch pros/fuzes. It has been known to get the on screen keyboard stuck on numeric mode. Some ppl have gone upto a week or two without the problem showing up. Just a heads up.
just a lil warning...
Unfortunatley, I did not read this post prior to installing the xt9 disable software on my Fuze. I really enjoyed everything, such as the older style auto correct, and the list of suggested words. Now that juicy "Full QWERTY" is stuck in number mode. Is there a fix for this? Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Rick
I did the reg change to get the win mob predictive text... which worked until I did a soft reset. After that, my FULL QWERTY is also stuck in number mode.
Changed the reg back to original, and I got back my FULL QWERTY. No need to soft reset.
this helped me! HTC messaging with hardware keyboard on xperia is much faster now... but not windows messaging...
but I found this, which helped out with that too...

great!
1st post...so here it goes...
Having this really annoying issue with the keyboard in landscape mode. I can't see what I'm typing in landscape mode!!! This happens only in a few programs such as Messenger, Notes etc. The keyboard is in ABC mode and T9 is turned off. I'm not having any key mapping issues. Everything types correctly, but I can't see what I'm typing till I either press enter (in messenger) or close the keyboard and go to portrait mode (in notes).
I had this problem on the stock rom after I had installed several programs...couldn't find a solution so flashed a new stock rom....things were great, everything was as expected and now the problem has appeared again, after installing several programs and tweaking the phone to my needs!!! The phone is just the way I want so I can't just go and flash the rom again, so I'm hoping someone knows of a solution to fix this really annoying problem.
I tried searching on google and here for a solution, but nothing. I tried installing some keyboard fixes floating around here, but nothing. It maybe a simple registry fix or some WM6 issue with some program, I don't know. The keyboard works fine in MS Office and when txting.
It's really bizarre and annoying. Hope someone can help!
Thanks.
hi,
try to disable the cleartype feature while in landscape.
there is an option somewhere that can do that for you.
cleartype is turned off by default in landscape, so this is caused by some change you made.
