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.

try this:
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.

Argh! its one of those annoyances that pisses me off lol.
Every time I enter a text field screen keyboard pops up covering half of the screen.
How do I stop it? I want it to open only when I click on it.
..........
Out of curiosity, are you using the standard keyboard or Pocket CM, resco ect?
Standard, the one that comes with Dutty's v4. It has a Touch skin, but I think it's standard keyboard.
If there's an answer somewhere - please point me in the right direction.. I searched and didn't find anything (it's kinda hard to phrase this one)
Sorry. Don’t have any answers for you. I was asking just to keejp note just in case a similar problem occurred with my Kaiser. I have an original non flashed rom by the way, so it probably won’t be a problem with me.

Yes you will.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.. and it comes standard with every ROM I've seen (WM5+). Most people won't have a problem with it, but if I type something, I use hardware keyboard.. so on-screen keyboard pop-up is useless for me.
ummm... well it hasn't been a problem with any of the two MDA touch's, MDA vario II, or two MDA Vario III's I've had in the last few months... Fingers crossed it'll stay that way....
I would also like to see a solution
I vaguely remember a blank-sip or none-sip program exactly for this purpose. You could make it the default. Maybe PHM made it, try searching on the web.
I like the option of using the SIP sometimes, but most of the time I don't want it. It seems like once you use it once, it thinks you want it all the time, until you use the hardware keyboard again. How hard would it be to just let me click on it when I want it. Jeez!
a blank SIP is an option in this free program: http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/PowerToys/
Blank SIP is a solution, but not a very good one. When I do want to use screen keyboard, I'd have to snipe that little arrow to open SIP selection, then find what I want and click it. Wait for it to load...
It'd be easier if it just wouldn't pop-up when cursor is in the text field. There's probably a setting somewhere..
Try this....

Try these registry settings that worked for me. When I used to open a new document with ms word or go to the address bar in PIE the sip used to pop up but not after applying these settings. After import .reg file or changing them manually you will need to soft-reset.
It now only pops up when i select rename file in resco explorer. But I can live with that.
Hope this helps...

Some programs call it automatically. It's the way they're coded. I would think there wouldn't be a way to suppress the on-screen keyboard without disabling it entirely.

The only other way to do this is to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip and change "AllowChange" from 1 to 0 and then soft-reset. However as you say this will disable it fullstop. So the only way you could enter info is either at the dialer (to call someone) or by using the slide out keyboard. To re-activate change the 0 back to a 1 at the above registry key.

I have been using the transcriber function and it has been working great. But now it has stopped working. When I click transcriber, then try and write, it acts as if I am trying to select text. How can I re enable it?
***bump***
You have obviously done the obvious - click on the keyboard at the bottom of the screen until the ARROW comes up beside it and clicked on the arrow and then selected TRANSCRIBER...
Obviously you have done that. What happened when you did that?

When I click on transcriber as you have mentioned, the transcriber bar shows up with the arrows backspace settings and all. But when I try and write on the screen, the transcriber bar goes away and it then acts as if I am trying to select lines of text. I have looked around on my phone but I can't find anything to reset it.
are u sure ur in the text box where u are supposed to type when u open the transcriber?
try giving focus to the box first and then choose transcriber
I tried using transcriber today, but it won't recognize my text at all when I try to use it in the Notes section of my contacts. I write a word, it disappers and I hear a beep.

I have done that. I click in the area where I would normally use the keyboard and the transcriber bar comes up. I then try to write and the transcriber bar goes away. Not sure what to do.

Mine won't even show the word I'm trying to write. I used to write on the screen and it would show what I was writing but it doesn't get that far. No beeps or anything.
Any ideas guys besides a hard reset???
The notes field will work with transcriber. So don't do a hard reset. You have to click on the EDIT button on the lower left and THEN it will work.
Bill
Actually works just fine in contact/notes....provided you are in the edit mode instead of just viewing
A hard reset seemed to fix mine...
Just a Reminder
Touchflo and the Transcriber don't play nice together so make sure to disable Touchflo.
I don't know if this is a general WM question, as I've never had a WM phone before.
From the Home screen I choose 'Messages' then click 'All Messages' - which gives me a standard looking screen with an Inbox of all the people I've sent/received texts from.
If I choose a person, then I get the whole conversation with the person.
How do I delete a part of the conversation without deleting it all.
I've found that if I click on the persons name I get their contact info - if I press 'OK' at this then their message is highlighted. I can then choose 'Menu' then 'delete' which clears that ONE message. Surely there must be an easier way?
Also... I'm currently using the HTC Full Querty keyboard as my chosen input method. I have the T9 on and it works great MOST of the time!!
My only problem is that if I type a word sometimes it will give me another word that I dont want. How do I say no to this choice?!
Eg... I was typing a message to a friend in which I said 'did you get your ass up on the dancefloor'. When I typed 'ass' it imediately pops up with 'assets' and 'association'. If I press Space it choses assets for me. Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass' without having to take its suggestion? I don't want to turn the T9 off as I find it really good for putting in apostrophes etc - and apart from this problem it works great.
Cheers...
"Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass'"
Man i tried my best to think of a witty comment to that - but i'm struggling!
Any how, I don't know either but what I do is press space to complete the word most like the one i want, then go back & edit it. After that, the word comes up automatically when typing the approriate letters.
SMAC
ha ha...
Its happened to me heaps of times, but ass wss the only example I could remember!
My iPhone had a great little X that appeared and let me ignore its suggestions. I wish there was something similar on the Diamond.

Cant answer your second part of the question but the bit about deleting one particular conversation??. Im sure today i was able to do it but now ive wiped my messages inbox so cant really check. But im sure if you highlight that part of the conversation u want deleted then go to menu and you should have delete available. Again im pretty sure thats how i did it...deleting them one by one.
Check it and see if it works...like i said im pretty sure thats how i did it...i could be wrong tho.
Use the circular navigation button (press "up") while in the conversation screen, and then you will be able to navigate between individual messages.
Yes I know, I had to hear this from someone else too. Not very intuitive... Annoying when a good delete option is lacking...
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.

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?
Okay... Soooo today has been spent downloading stuff for my tilt.
-I had the HTC customizer thing, and the htc today.. thing. whatever.
I downloaded;
-Diamond on screen keyboard.. (Which is awesome.... because i hated sliding out my phone to put in seven numbers to call. and it's an awesome keyboard.).
-Some games..
-The kaiser tweak thing, and the updates?, I wasn't really sure what I was
doing with that.. because it doesn't seem to work?
-The keyboard fix.. which fixed my D-K keys.. but not the weird spacing problem I have. (When I'm done typing a word, I press space and then type the next, but it does this. "heyw hata re youd oing?"... Am I just typing too fast? anyways.. it's annoying the crap outta me. Plus I look stupid when I send that.)
Okay... so I need help fixing that.... and my auto word suggestion thing doesn't work. and it's driving me mad. Also help on using the update things for the kaiser tweaks would help.. because I though it was supposed to fix the auto word thing.. but there aren't any options for it?
Come on, please?

It's funny because this problem came up in a thread last week, I thought I was bad at typing on the phone or something until they talked about the problem, which is a known issue.

Okay nothing changes when I do that. (Thanks though!)
Okay, I don't think I'm being very clear. Sorry if that is the case.
I used to have words come up when I type, and it would be a list of words and sentences that I've already typed.. ex; "What are you doing", "What's up", "What", "Where", "Where are you".. and I would have only typed "Wh". Then I could push the up button and select what word/sentence I wanted and it would insert it to my text.
Now all that is gone, and I cannot for the life of me get to to work again.
Thanks again!
Had a similar issue with the messaging, when i type the first letter of a nameit usually pops up the possible namesbut it stopped, it would not pop up with the options of who it was to. i had to either put the whole address or phone # or push the center button and scroll through and select...this really sucked. does it work on yours im just curious?
Well i had to Hard Reset to fix mine, after several hours of f'ing with it.
sorry for the bad news. honestly all the time you spend looking for the answer you could just as easily Hard reset and start all over before you even get 10 replies.
word of advise, always do a backup before you install anything new.
if I do a hard reset will i have to update my rom again?
i know I'll have to install everything again.. bleh. oh well. hmm.. I might do that. Because my phone freezes whenever I try to uninstall that diamond keyboard. BLEH. okay. well. hmm. thanks! : )
And actually no, that feature does not work anymore. WOW. hah. I haven't used it for I while. I always go to the contact then tap send text. I used to use it, I never knew it was there.. then I found it, now it's gone. GR.
