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.

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 Guys,
Hope you can answer this weird problem.
All of a sudden my TyTN 2 would not select key infromation within a message (SMS, E-mail etc)
When i open an SMS it will go straigh to the bottom of the message, and when i scroll up it will not put a box round the senders number or name like it used too.
I have looked in the settings to see if there is something i have missed but to no availe.
Am i right in saying that i may need to perfrom a hard reset?
Regards

Have a peculiar problem whenever i search for a contact.
i use the phone keyboard with t9.
On a few occasions i get numbers regardless of what letter im typing in, and this is genius because the number 1 gets hit on a-b-c and the number 1 in any number and the letter in any name...
But i cant find å way to figure out how the settings should be for this to be enabled?
This seems to work in the phone log but not for every contact, but as said earlier ive managed to get this function for the entire contact list when fumbling around a bit..
Anyone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it depends on where the focus(cursor) is, if it on the list then you'll have digits and search in Contacts, if your cursor in TextBox over the list, then you'll have just T9
So this means there is no way to get this function to f.ex in new/reply sms/mms/email ?

why not ? when you click to the address line you'll see the same windows as in Contacts
ohh, got it now, would still be nice if this var standard and you could just type inn the numbers directly without entering the contact list manually like that if you see what i mean
thanks for clearing things up
For the sms thing, it works for me.. but with the name.
I use Full Keyboard (t9 off).
in the TO: field, I enter V and it shows me the first name starting with V.. as I go on.. it matches the name and usually by the third letter, I have the name I was looking for.
I have set suggest words after 1 letter. Doubt it has anything to do with it, though.
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!
