I hear some people almost never use the qwerty keyboard and just use the numkeys with t9 instead.
So, how often do you use your qwerty? Do you use it at all?
I use the keyboard a lot. If I need enter more than one word, I use the qwerty. I write many lines of notes, IM... Now I dont wait until I come to computer and reply to mails imidiately. It's really useful for me.
(Maybe you could make a poll. )
lots
I use mine everyday. Got free sms's every time i load my sim so i type a lot and spam all my m8's hehehe

Thank you, a poll is added. Let the voting begin!
Me. I hate numeric keypad with T9 - vote for keyboard! 1+
I disabled the XT9 garbage (it was so annoying with the qwerty). The keyboard is why i bought the phone.
It's good though having the phone pad for quick input. I used to have a Wizard and hated having to slide the keyboard out every time I needed to input something (I know there's a soft keyboard on PPC but they're far too fiddly!).
One other thing I like about the Wings QWERTY keyboard is that you can access most of the secondary keys by a long press instead of having to press the Fn key first. I thought it only applied to the number section but discovered by accident that it works on all keys with an alphabetical base key.
All I need to do now is work out how to map different function keys - I use '&' a lot but having to press Fn+Sym, then navigate the symbol grid is a pain.
I have same problem. I am spanish and I use spanis characters that can only be found in Symbol screen... and it takes too much time!. Any way to make shortcuts?
****ing Never
I use the Resco Keyboard Pro.
Does Resco Kb Pro works for Smartphones? I have only found it for PPC... and idea where I cand find it? How does it solve the problem?
Thanks indeed!

yeah your'e right need a ****in stylus. sorry went brain dead there.
There should be a way to redefine little blue simbols in keyboard buttons so I cand obtain spanish accent or spanish N instead of, i.e, ; or whatever.
Any other idea?
Thanks for your try, anyway...
sometimes i type fast and then the keyboard cant catch up with me. its really annoying. why cant the stupid processor not keep up with the input?? i also noticed that while im typing fast, some letters are missing.
does this happen to you too??
is there any solution?
I really didn't notice that; I am not very fast typing... my problem is that I can not type with XT9 while I am looking to the screen to ensure that the word choosen is the word that I want to writte... well, I can, but it's a very slow procerss.
This is ehy I like to writte with ABC, but having the option to input spanish characters in a fast mode ...

Is that a special kind that you insert somewhere?
Hello !
I've got some trouble with the way you can put an accent on a character using the TyTN II Keyboard.
The way it has been designed you have to writhe the letter you want to put an accent on (i.e. e for instance) and then cycle through the different accented possibility for this letter.
So far so good... BUT what drives me crazy is that the cycle doesn't always start from the same point (making a fast keyboarding very difficult).
Would you have already typed once an é (typing e then fn+space) and would you want to type another é, you would have to type e then fn+space TWICE.. go figure...
Is there a way to change this curious way (maybe toying with the registry values) ?
That's quite annoying when you write in a language with many accents (for the record I use a French Orange TyTN II and é is definitely the most common accented letter in French).
Thanks !
I haven't got this problem, it always starts with the same accent op top of the previous letter.
Hi:
While not really on topic, I have a somewhat similar question. And this seemed like an appropriate thread to post it in
For some reason the Fn Space method doesn't seem to work for me at all. For example, I enter n, then Fn Space, the first time I press space the n becomes an N (capital), if I press space again (while still holding down Fn, it just enters a space. In order to find it I must actually go into Fn, Ok.
Do I have a defective keyboard, am I soing domething wrong?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

How do I enter an ñ?
I have looked through all the choices (Fn, Ok), and I don't see it there. I was able to find other Ns, but not Ñ, I did find only an ~ but no way to insert it over a normal n.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I remember some thread about this, you need to edit some file that contains the letters. Unfortunately I cant tell you more, you need to search it somewhere here.

Thanks so much for your reply. I actually did find the letters I needed in Fn, Ok.
My problem is I still can't get the Fn space method to work.

Actually I just realize that I wanted to reply to the first quote and not to you. It had to look funny that I replied to different question then yours but in my post was your question. What a fool I am.
Okay ladies and gents, I have searched and searched and can't seem to find my answer. I am sure one of you smart lads can give me a response in 4 seconds.
The keyboard and keypad work great on my Tilt but I have two issues:
1) I've noticed the screen shots include a tool bar above the keyboard with options for BOLD, UNDERLINED text, ect. I do not have that. What can I do?
2) My xt9 works fine but if I want to create a new text msg, the drop box of contacts no longer appears. This is quite hard to explain but before xt9, if I inputted the letter "J," a drop box of about 7-8 contacts will show up to with names starting with J; sort of like a quick list. The more letters I inputted, the more specific of results the drop box displays. Even if I am in ABC mode, this feature is no more. Would I have to kill Xt9 via registry to revive this feature?
Thanks in advance.

I too have this similar issue
I am unable to type anything in the to: field cause of Xt9
but after uninstalling of the touch keyboard it works again
yeah, I figured it is software conflict with xt9 - you can have one or the other kinda thing. I think I rather have the xT9 than the quick list. I will just have to press one extra key (return) for every contact included.

thanks that did the trick !!!
the only annoying feature
NO SPACE after clicking a predicted word !! grrrr
anyway to overcome that ?
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?
i have been trying all the roms from topix , energy , xannytech, miri, maryone ...but almost 99 % of the roms have the problem as shown in the image.
when i type something in the keypad , some other word gets highlighted and some other word is displayed ....
but once i press spacebar in the keypad the "wgat" from the display changes to "what"
i have tried searching for the fix in google and xda site too.but havent found anything to fix this.
as of now only two roms dont have this problem
RUU_Duttys_HD_WM6.5_Sense_2.1_Holy_Grail_R0 and
Energy.BLACKSTONE.23529.Sense2.1.16.Feb.2010
( i may be wrong here , but i have tried nearly ten roms in the last month.)
i have attached two images . you can see the difference ..( 1st is improper , 2nd is proper )
so is there any fix for this problem...any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks

Almost all cooked roms comes with T9 enabled, just disable it.
Anyway "what" looks more correct than "wgat" ?
T9 is not much use if you not have the correct language set.
To disable T9, just go to settings tab, Locale & Text,Text Input.
but the problem is that i send lot of messages . so typing with t9 ON feels better..
you had specified about "language set".. i have already selected "english" as the language..
(i havent clearly understood by what you meant by "correct language set")
I have been wondering this too. Previously in was on Dutty's R15 for over a year and with XT9 and spell correction enabled you would always see the suggested word on screen.
Have recently tried all the ROMs on the scene and settled on Topix 3.5.6 and all of them look like the first image, you see exactly what you have typed (wgat) but when you press space it is corrected to the first suggestion (what).
This is not a major deal because in effect the XT9 and spell correction are working. I just find it annoying because i would like to see it corrected on screen as previously on Dutty.
So far as i am aware it has nothing to do with enabling or disabling T9, i wonder if it is simply due to a new IME package for the touch input, i've looked at the registry with no luck yet....perhaps Dutty would know?!
Any suggestions welcome!
still no luck ???
I've noticed that Topix 1.5.6 for the HD2 has this working properly. Tried copying the registry settings and the et9 files but no luck. Still trying!
I dont see what you mean.
This is supposed to happen (the word is auto corrected). if you want what the SIP thinks is wrong to be entered, you click on the word. Maybe the ROMs you are saying work correctly are the ones that show old behaviour or something.
Have you tried changing the value of "AllowChange" to 0 in \HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip?
I.e set "\HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip\AllowChange" = 0
This should prevent the word changing to soemthing else you've not typed.
Let me know if it works for you.
All the best
thank you "oluwaponmile".. i will try it today and let you know..
and "ask768" i am not sure how to explain it to you exactly...when you type small words its ok..but when you start typing bigger words for example " immediate , probably , afternoon, or any word bigger than 4 to 5 alphabets , then it becomes an inconvenience.
anyway will try what "oluwaponmile" has suggested...
oluwaponmile , i tries what you suggested..but a new problem has come now. i am not able to open up keypad.i can see the icon for the keyboard at the bottom but no matter how many times i click it , nothing happens....
this is preventing me from changes the value back to "1" in the registry ...
i have tried everywhere but the keyboard doesnt show up.... soft reset dowsnt help. looks like i have to do hard reset...
I also tried the above registry change witht he same results, keyboard doesnt appear! So no luck there, will keep searching...
@sumedh_vsk - don't hard reset! either use a PC-based resitry editor (such as CE RegEditor) to change the value back or just copy the number '1' from any other file name and paste it in, that shouldnt need the keyboard either!
(double post!)
