Virtual Keyboard is blacked out :( - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi All, first post on a great forum... pity its due to a problem!
My Diamonds virtual keyboard has been blacked out, no matter what I do, if I change the input method etc, it still pops out to input text, but I cant see any of the keys, its all black. If you press blindly it inputs, but it doesnt help me not being able to see the actual keys lol
Its rom version 1.93 and ive got the Core DivX player and Garmin XT installed. Thats about it... Any help is appreciated!

How to get rid of the letter suggestion bar?

Hola to everyone
I'm new here, and I most say I have been reading around and it is a great forum . I also got a HTC TyTN II, and installed the HTC Touch Keyboard... it works fine!
However I don't have a clue about how to dissable the bar just on top of the keyboard... it shows up suggesting some words while I am typing but dont know how to handle it...
How to get rid of that letter sugestion bar? Or how does it works? Is there kind of help about that in some thread here?
Thanks in advance for your help...
It's going to be a LONG road if you don't learn to search and read, my friend.

In the interest of good will........
Try looking under settings, input, word completion.
I second what grizley said.
Try looking for a disable xt9 cab. This disables the suggestion above the keyboard.
The suggest as you type is in Input settings.
Hi guys
Thanks,
Sorry if I said something obvious... (Im really getting use of Windows Mobile environment, I used to have a Nokia with symbian) When I posted here it was becuase it was already driving me crazy taping here and there for more than one hour (I like the riddles but...) I had no results. I was trying all kind of things in Imput (the up arrow)>options... but nothing worked to get rid of the suggestion bar, at least not in HTC Touch keyboard. In the TouchPal it was easy, it has its own options to solve this things.
I was trying in Settings>Imput and unchecking word completion, for instance, as suggested here... I also changed the language to mine (spanish) does not work yet, and the HTC Touch keyboard is now kinda frozen: means I push the letters and they do not react (nunbers do). I soft reseted, and the problem is still there. Next step: I will uninstall HTC Keyboard, and then (maybe) install it again. Anyway, Touchpal seems to be a easier and handier keyboard...

Best one-handed keypad / keyboard?

Hi all,
First off, my first post here, so be gentle .
I'm looking for a keypad or keyboard to install on my Vario III so that I can type SMSes with one hand whilst on the London Underground. As good as the keyboard is, it requires two hands to be usable.
I've used the HTC Diamond keypad / keyboard pack that's on these boards, and another one after following a rabbit hole, and although they do as I want, they removed another functionality: Whilst typing on the real keyboard, I lost the word/ name suggestion box whilst typing! I find this box very useful, not least in the names section, and don't want it gone.
So, in brief, can you guys recommend a one-handed keypad for SMSing, which doesn't lose that word suggestion box functionality?
Many thanks guys!
Hi,
I tried thumbkey but it is a little buggy
Touchpal (especially the last Version, 3.0) is perfect for me...
Hi szdavid,
just had a little go on touchpal now using the trail version, and although the suggestion box was there, I'm more of an 'oldie' when it coems to texting i.e. dislike T9 or any predictive texting, and it took a couple of different areas to get one char up (choose the button, then the character).
I'll try the other one once I get up tomorrow. Thanks though, and any other suggestions out there?
If I were you, I would get the Touch Diamond Keypad.
It is just like it is on a regular phone. I will attach the CAB as well as the other Touch Diamond Keyboard.
The .CAB in this attachment is all 3 Touch Diamond Keyboards. 1 is Qwerty and 1 is the Keyboard and the other is the Keypad.

I've tried that one, and I loved it, except for the fact that I lost the suggestion box above the cursor, which is important to me (which is why I uninstalled it).
Is there something like that, except without the loss of that functionality, please?

did you hit the ABC<->T9 toggle button second in from the left on the bottom row, it seems to give me exactly what you want..
I running the qwerty keyboard for info !!!
tengo thumb gets my vote.
http://www.tengo.net/tengo_thumb.html
I might try that Tengo one, and Jerwick, I did press that button, but it still didn't give me back the suggestion box.. I'm not sure you know which one i mean...
I think it's the keypad /board's own predicter that's causing the problem and stopping the cursor suggesttion box...
any tips?
I do know what you are talking about. On some occasions, it doesn't work for me either. It has some flaws- but other than that, it's about as basic as you can get.
pie, I never got it to work unfortuneatly, and I guess I use the inline thingy mor than the one-handy thingy
guess that means that there isn't one with the same great functionality as that diamond one, then
ive actually started using the full keyboard one handed. slide it out and type with one hand, its hard to get used to.

You're good, I can barely type on the Tilt keyboard sitting on the table with cut fingernails. I just can't get used to the feel, travel, feedback..... something.
OH, ANd THis ANoys ME TOo if I type too fast.
Right now, I'm using the resco keyboard which has already been mentioned.
I was wondering if there was one similar to that with bigger buttons? It would make texting while doing other stuff much easier using both thumbs.
Sometimes hitting the right key with the resco board is difficult as well.
Coudl we get the Diamond keyboard .CAB on another server? Please, we cant access megaupload in this country.

its in my signature under Cabs, Keyboards
There is nothing better than the Touchpal once you learn to use it period.
-McMex
Touchpal is the best for me hands down...
It offers several input methods ranging from QWERTY to T9...
And you can skin it very easily.

It's been on my 4shared the entire time.
it seems like there are a lot of avodcates for the touchpal one, which I did like, but wasn't entirely happy with...
I might end up with it because it's the nest of the lot that I've been recommended, that and maybe the resco one
+1 TouchPal for me

need help virtual keyboard

I've done a a lot of reading and made good progress, but I'm stuck on this one.
I'm using "Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27 [FIX]" build atm and while it's fast and I like it for the most part, the keyboard is horrible, takes up half the screen is missing keys and I really don't like it. I've tried to get back the original keyboard but it won't all me to switch from the one he has built into the rom. I've uninstalled the pcm keyboard and installing Keyboard_Cert.reg KeyboardSkins.CAB and also SJ KeybSkin_Touch.cab. in several variations. At best I was able to turn the keyboard white with black letters.
How can i get rid of the pcm keyboard and load the defaults.
please help
p.s. How come many of the dutty roms and have a password and they say the password is in the 1st/2nd post but it's not? I read some of those 6 times and searched them for "pass" and never found the password. I found some people listing a password later in the thread, but it was a password that did not work.
Am I writing in the wrong language or something? I've spent at least 20 hours reading wikii and faq's and post after post and seariching with google and the site's built in search only to wind up going in circles, trying to find specific answers, but not getting anywhere.
Would someone please point me to the info or just tell me ?
Still need help
yea this thread should be answered i have having the same problem..
I have Duttys Diamond V1 ROM. I didn't like the default kayboard or the XT9 that guesses what word your trying to type. My ROM did have the original defult keyboard installed but it would not stay my defult keyboard after a soft reset. I'm not sure exactly what you issue is but this might help.
Install "disable XT9" cab to disable XT9
Install "SIP change" cab change the defult kayboard to the one of you choice.
the above can be found here (look for post 139, should be the 4th post down):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398271&page=161
I'm also including:
the "OEM default Keyboard" cab, with I assume installs the OEM keyboard (if you don't have it), and "Tilt keyboard fix" incase you have a Tilt with a hardware keyboard that dosen't have the FN keys coerectly mapped fot the Tilt.
Hope that's what you looking for.
Thanks worked fine only took about 1 min.

Diamond Keyboard problem

Hi,
I don't know what I've done, but when I'd like to write some message, or whatever, the original keyboard (full qwerty, or compact qwerty) keyboard starts up with the symbol pad and it's not possible to switch it back to alphanumeric mode. The only way is to invoke keyboard switch menu and select the same keyboard again. then it works as usual. Does anybody have the same problem?
as I said, I don't know, what I've done, or installed, bud I think, I've installed Advanced config 3.0 recently
I have the same problem... I also don't know what is wrong.
I also tried to disabled T9 with some tricks... that's all...
Some suggestions??
Thnx
Since yesterday I also have a problem with my HTC keyboards.
All 3 options, Qwerty, Compact Qwerty and the phonepad only gives me numbers.
I have tried all the settings.
It does not make a diverence if i turn of T9.
On the keyboard i can see the nummbers and the letters.
This is very irritating, can somebody please help?
Or is there an original cab version, al the cabs i can find are Qvga.
I have tried the Touch keyboard and it gives letters in stead of numbers, but its Qvga.
Thanks
Same problem here on the CDMA Diamond, I tried two different ROMs already the Sprint Stock ROM and a Telus Custom Juicy's 2.0 ROM. I can't use it at all and I hate doing a Hard Reset. Someone shed some light on this please.
Same problem here, have tried everything
Well I solved the problem by uninstalling PCM Keyboard... Too bad, I really liked it
Does anybody know if it's possible to run pcm keyboard without having this issue on the diamond?
since day 1 my keyboard did not show predict text ? anyone can help me ?
I had the same problem , it appeared from nowhere ..
After also trying different tricks , i solved the problem using Resco Keyboard
Pro ... It also responds much better to my taste with the touch screen
interface of the diamond.
I have had this problem on the Touch Pro too having used PCM keyboard.
Unistalled it and all back to normal.
Pity.
Same here, alas PCM's copy & paste was cool, but not if I can't use the other keyboards...

How do you use copy & paste with PCM? Which version of PCM keyboard are you using?

[CAB] Speeding up your Hardware keyboard Responce - Disable XT9

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?
Is it working for Raphael??

I think it wirked.
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.

Works great for me, I've been looking for something like this! Thank you very much!
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...
