I like to text using the standard phone or blackberry layout and I find them easier and quicker.
However, when I type web addresses or info into Opera, I like to use the HTC Qwerty keyboard as I don't need to worry about the predictive text not knowing the URL's etc.
Can I set the phone to somehow give me Qwerty on Opera and Blackberry for Texting... instead of me having to flick back and forth?

Hello
I am trying to turn on autocomplete in Pocket Outlook on my Touch Diamond, like it worked on the Kaiser. Autocomplete/ word-completion works everywhere else, but not in the "To" field, even if i typed that e-mail 100x times or used a e-mail address from a contact.
I just wanted to type a few letters and get a list of all the possible matches from cache and addressbook.
Any idea how to solve this issue ?
any idea ?
Is there really no one else out there having, this problem or any idea how to solve this issue ?
I am getting ready to order my Diamond, and I have a fear of this as well.
I think that this is a limitation of Windows Mobile, as on my mogul the contact auto-complete will work with the physical keyboard, but not with any of the on-screen one's.
If someone were able to find a fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Works fine here - the name doesn't "autocomplete" while you are typing but upon tapping Send suggests a match if the string hasn't been matched before.
yes i know that feature, but as far as i know this feature doesn't use the cached names i recently typed, it just uses the names/mails from contacts.
Anyway the "old" Kaiser with WM 6.0 could do this autocompletion on the fly, so i just can not understand why the Diamond should not be able to do the same thing while i am typing.
Hmm.
Occasionally I forward emails with my Diamond from my work exchange email address to my personal pop email address [email protected]_example_domain.com. Merely typing "work" or even "wo" and pressing Send fires off the email with no problem. But typing "allen" then pressing Send brings up a picker even when the address should be cached...
I've just fired up my Artemis (unbranded & WM6) and that displays a picker as soon as one begins to type....never mind.
I really like the diamond (Ignito) but using it to dial people (in touchflo) or contacts (via Windows) is a nightmare. far too often I end up dialling someone when I'm trying to scroll using the touch screen. And the basic Windows contact manager is all too small scale to use without a stylus.
Has anyone got any advice or better still an alternative app that will let me use the touch screen and a big list in a reliable way. My daughter's Samsung Tocco is just a dream to use in comparison.
Thanks

You can use Resco Contact Manager. The beta is free and usable with touch function. Try it! You can enable/disable Resco Contact manager to handle calls, contacts, etc in settings

The Screenshot is on the website as well.
Thanks Satus - will try that now
Mike
personally i never use the contacts tab to dial out. I just press the phone key then use the dialer keypad to start typing the first letters of the person im trying to dial then hit call. much faster than trying to scroll and no need for the stylus..
tried Resco contacts last night and I love it. Scrolling seems somehow much less sensitive and even if you do make an accidental press, all it does is pop-up the contact with 4 big buttons for dial, sms, email, and something else. If you hit the big back arrow in the corner it takes you back to your scroll list at the point you were previously
Thanks again Satus

Hi,
When i was on Fr19 i thought it was a bug, that when i make a new sms, and whatn to enter phone number that is not in the book, i have to use that stupid qwerty keyboard :S Now that i moved to new GB Rom, i still have this issue, either stock app or other marjet app as Go SmS pro.
I know i can choose in layout but i want it to be by default as Dialpad when entering a phone number
Anyone have a tip or hack to do this ?
thanks
You can use the default LG keyboard, or touchpal or any 12-key phonepad.
thanks for reply but did you understood my question ?
When i go into New SMS and want to type a number i get a normal qwerty keyboard, it is annoying to type numbers on it. What i want is a normal Phone numeric dialpad, which is more logic to automatically have when typing a phone number.
I am using the default LG keyboard.
I can do it by changing the Layout input of keyboard, but that problem is than it stay like this and for text i have to again change the layout to get qwerty keyboard,
You can understand it is quite annoying :S
Is this a normal behiviour ? or it ie me who is having an issue ?

It's quite normal. The reason is simple: The input field can be used *either* for inputting a phone number *or* for quickly searching your contacts. Searching your contacts requires letters, therefore the default keyboard is alpha-numeric. Unless you use another messaging app which allows you to input phone-numbers *only*, it will remain this way.
I can understand that we need to search so the keyboard is Standard Qwerty that show up when yoy first click
But what is not logic is when i press 123 it should understand that i dont want to search by name but type the number so it should show the Dialpad, that is how it works in iphone
So in Andriod it is normal and standard to have always qwerty keyboard :s I am surprised no one else has complained, may you guys only send SMS to your contact list lolzzz

Well, if Apple has that functionality, you can bet they've patented it as well, barring anyone else from using it.
Myself I cannot come up with any reason for SMSing anyone not in my contact list, but I'm sure you can.
Anyway, for now, that's the way it is on Android. (But I'm sure you can find another messaging app which will do what you want, until the patent-trolls notice.)
Hey mate,
Don't remember if on stock it's this way, but i'm on miui and I can enter Phone app(Dialer), dial a number with the number pad and then select "Send Message" so the sms app directly puts that phone on the message receiver...
Hope that works to u!!!
That can do a trick. I never used the dialer to send sms but thanks for the tip
No it is not dependent of what sms app you use all give same result as it is core feature of android.
Only way i found is to use another keyboard swiftkey which 123 is in Matrix format so more like a dialer but smaller
But i really hope someone can make a mod hack to show dialpad it will be handy and more logic

Or perhaps the ?123 key doesn't send us into a blind panic?
Lol
I buy a lot from site like kijiji. So i send a lot of sms to numbers which are not in contact list
Anyway having Dialpad when pressing 123 is more logic. Either in phone feild we want to type a name or a number

Hi,
I'm looking for an android keyboard that is compact and would allow me to send texts and also have shortcuts for my favorite apps. Not sure if those are possible but I currently have a bluetooth keyboard, and while it does work when typing, I cannot figure out how to hit "Enter" on the stock text app to send it.
did you try shift enter?
Hello,
My Note 5 and my SGS6E+ both using the Samsung Keyboard continuously auto replaces words with no typos into email addresses, most of them not even saved in my contacts! This is extremely annoying.
My previous Samsung devices had options when clinking on predictive text to disable some personalized data, ie learn from Facebook, contacts, etc, however I can't find this option anywhere and Googleing ain't helping me either.... I could use swift key or another 3rd party keyboard, but I really am used to Samsungs keyboard and do not want to switch...
Please help!!! Thanks
