Word Completion does not work!

Hi there, i use the block recognizer a lot to compose SMS messages and on my old touch the word completion feature worked like a charm. However, no matter what settings i use on the diamond (e.g. suggest 3 words after 1 letter etc.etc.) this feature doesn't come up!!
Does anyone have the same issue, and any fixes for it?
I got the HTC touch on the first day it came out and haven't had any problems with it whatsoever. My diamond has been full of issues since day one!

Maybe stupid...
Did you check in the settings if word completion is active?

Yes, the option is definately switched on....but no luck in actually completing any of my words!!

I have the same problem with my Spanish ROM using the "standard / classical" keyboard
Help, please!

You are correct. I complained about this in an earlier thread. I am using the latest ROM and it does not work.......

Doesn't work for me either!

Doesnt work for me either. On my Tytn I choose to create a new message and when I start to type the contacts name for the To field it lists the contacts for that letter so I can select the correct one. Then for the message it will suggest words as I type, this is exactly what I want on my Diamond. I dont use T9. The nearest I can get on the Diamond is if I have "Word completion in ABC mode" ticked in the T9 Settings box then word suggestion works but it doesnt suggest contacts for the To field when creating a new message, instead it suggests words. This is not how I want it

Same problem....
I have the same problem, but only when I use the Block recognizer, using the keyboard works fine, but I'd rather use the block r... so when I need to list the contact I place the names and when I press send the phone give me the choice to select the right contact...

you need to disable xt9, then autocomplete will work again
Use something like KaiserTweak or Boinger's diamond config to change

Hi there, I try to create a cab file which can enable the word completion function for MSFT IME ( Block Recognizer / Keyboard / Letter Recognizer ).
Have fun~

I'm new to this level of use - I have had Win Mobile for years, but only yesterday did my first ROM update! How do I disable T9? I'm desperate for word completion on block recogniser (the only way to input!)

SOLVED
IMPORTANT: previously be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0.
Simply change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409
Ime File : \windows\xt9ime.dll change to Ime File :\windows\compime.dll
and
Layout Text : XT9 IME change to Layout Text : COMP IME
And soft reset.

It Worked!!!! ur a genius thx a million bro

Thank you for this - it worked beautifully!

Thanks to you, it worked like a charm

Nope it does not work perfectly. After that change, word completion only works for letter recogniser, but it does not work for the phone keyboard, compact qwerty, anything that uses the phone keypad.

The HTC keyboards all use T9 word completion, this thread was for the MS keyboards/input methods.

Do you know maybe a solution to have word completion in ABC mode also for HTC keyboards?!?!
Thnx

I tried it... It is working perfectly good!!! Thank you very very much.

Changed my registry settings as suggested on my HTC Diamond and it worked perfectly fine. Thanx a lot. I really missed this.

xT9 and eT9 at once- causes problems- how can i remove one completely

i am running the latest 6.5 21202 ROM and whenever i start writing someone name into the new sms to: field i get two different predictions- the bottom grey htc style prediction(eT9?) and a little white box predicition(xT9?) near the name- if i press enter the phone freezes up, and if i backspace at all the phone freezes.
is there any way to remove one of the two predictors?
disabling T9 only removes predictions in the body of the text message, even with installing Taiseer's xT9 disabler. also i have disabled T9 with advanced config and diamond tweak.
the problem is that when entering a name they both still appear- yes this is a very useful function, but only if one appears- now that both appear the phone freezes whenever i choose from one

I had this problem at first too...but for some reason after I soft reset the phone a few times the problem's gone. It's one of the weird 6.5 bugs...perhaps because the ezinput sip keyboard isn't made for 6.5 yet? not sure though..
hopefully your problem is solved too though!

hmmm, solved, but not perfect
so no, soft-resetting did nothing for me. but i used regedit and searched for T9.
i found the reg entries for HTC's bottom name predictor (eT9) and there was one referring to install directory i simply changed it from "/Windows" to "/" and now the program cannot load it. and now there is no more freezing and only one predictor the microsoft white box name prediction.
this is good, great in fact- however, it could be better
the HTC eT9 predictor is better because it takes one keypress instead of two, not a big deal, but if anyone has alot of spare time on there hands- finding a way to disable xT9 instead of eT9 would be much appreciated.

In Post #4 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3576500&postcount=4 ) of my ROM thread there is a cab file to disable XT9. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but it gives the drop down style word suggestion.

i have tried your cab and it "works" but will cause the compact qwerty to only display in #s and symbols :S

Xda IIs noob here, need help T_T

I recently had a xda IIs before i found out that the qwerty is busted. I've searched the site and found out that theres an app which is "Fingerboard" that can be used as a keyboard aside from the default one that xda has. Now the question is that, can we install it to the BA? ive checked the thread about that and it says there that it need to match the screensize (QVGA,VGA,WVGA im not sure)And if possible I wanted to use that as my default keyboard since Im really not comfortable with using the stylus..
Thanks in advance for all your replies...
Hopefully I wont offend someone or make someone angry about my questions.

1. you are probably talking about this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677
it is called fingerkeyboard 2.1 and it is great.
2. yes, you can install it to the BA, just pick the QVGA cab installer.
the screen (size/) resolution is very important for apps like this, because, it wants to bring you bigger keys, so you can control the soft keyboard with your fingers, on the other hand, it needs practically all the keys, the small soft keyboard has, without being too big, so you couldn't see the rest of the screen, hard to find a good way to do that, but fingerkeyboard2 is a good program doing all of that (in he 2.1 version). in case you were wondering, the BA's screen is QVGA, meaning 240*320, in contrast to VGA, 480*640 and WVGA 480*800.
3. i am using i as my default keyboard, too. there are different ways to set this as default, tweak programs, registry changes... but the easiest way to do so is, to install SIP change, pick fingerkeyb as default, and set the timeout to 50seconds, meaning, whenever you soft reset your device, sip change will start and set fingerkeyb as default, and after 50sec. the program quits, because then it is definitely set.
installing both apps isn't hard, just 2 cab files you copy to your device. fingerkeyb needs a bit of configuration to match your country's layout and other things like sound, vibrate, auto-correction, but it is self-expainatory, plus you will find a lot of help in that particular thread, so look it up, install it, have fun.
P.S. i forgot to mention the 2 biggest advantages: it is (in contrast to SPB keyboard) FREE & SMALL in installation size.

As expected of chef_tony!
Thanks for the quick reply and very in-depth explanation. I will try that one now. hopefully someday I can be of help to you too sir. Cheers!

Cannot type to search names in contact

Hi All,
Recently I flashed my Diamond2 to the latest ROM from official HTC website. (ROM 2.53...)
I found out that if I want to search for names in contact (All People) the keyboard available only for numbers. I couldn't key in alphabet characters to spell names. Is this how it should be or is it bug? Please help. Thanks.

I know that on the default SIP, it knows when numeric values are the default, however to search contacts it should still allow Alpha characters.
Maybe try a different SIP.

what is SIP? AND where can i get other/different SIP? Thanks

SIP is Soft Input panel. or your onscreen keyboard.
There are free ones such as Finger Keyboard avail here on XDA, or pay apps such as Touchpal, Zoomboard, Rescoe Keyboard, etc.

Keyboard issue still not resolved

Thanks bruce. Really appreciate your help. I've installed finger keyboard 2.1 yesterday, but it makes my td2 hang .today i've uninstalled it, no more hang, but my first problem still not resolved. also, i found out when using phone keypad mode, some of the keys not working/not woking well. how to fix this problem? please help. thanks

So, nobody here can help me?...

Have you tried to change the SIP to Alpha when numeric appears? or select a different default input panel?

There's no option to change to Alpha or other input. Please take note, this only happen when i want to search contact (by pressing magnifier button).

to get names workin
i use swype and i have to delete at least one letter out of the name i want and it brings the contacts up to choose from.
give it a try! let me know if it works ion the other keyboards as well.

Norwegian Apple Wireless Keyboard settings and how to make your own

I have a Norwegian Samsung Galaxy Tab and Norwegian Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Norwegian letters "æøå" on bluetooth keyboards are not supported out-of-the-box, so I searched forums without much luck. I found some helpful threads and decided to solve the problem and share the solution. Others can make their own modified keyboard settings quite easily using the same methods.
Using "adb logcat" I found that the keyboard layout files used were the "Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kcm.bin" and "Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl" (might not be the same on other devices - CHECK!). I had the "adb logcat" going while connecting and disconnecting the keyboard, so that I could see what keyboard files were used by the apple keyboard. I made a backup of these and started modifying them, with success.
DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU DESTROY YOUR DEVICE WITH THIS!
I offer no guarantee this will work for everybody!
HOW TO USE:
"Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kcm.bin" --> /system/usr/keychars/
"Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl" --> /system/usr/keylayout/
I did this simply by copying the files with the app "Super Manager".
Make backup first. My backups are included just in case.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN KEYBOARD SETTINGS:
I used a hex editor called UltraEdit on pc to change some symbols in the .kcm.bin-file, and I used the "KeyTest.apk" from github to make out all the scancodes and used them when editing the .kl-layout file in Notepad on the phone.
NB! If you use the hex editor, make sure you always change one symbol at a time and always do backups for each little change. Whenever I did some change that the system didn't like, it would turn to using the "qwerty.kcm.bin" as default, then I could use the backup to make it work again.
This is my first attempt of a sort of contribution to this great forum after
using it for years. Hope that others can use what I have learn't to make
their own settings. I have attached my original and edited settings files,
and a picture of the keyboard with scancodes.

I would be so happy if you could provide us with a swedish layout aswell as I am not so into programming!

Nice find, qsarklam!
Could you post some info which hex key is which character, and how to identify individual buttons in the hex editor?

I have exactly the same issue, need though the German layout. Can anyone from you help me with this?
I would also appreciate the Swedish layout so count me in that one aswell.
Thanks!!!

Spanish anyone?
Same issue, but in Spanish. The wireless Apple Spanish-ISO keyboard mostly works, even the Ñ, but some letters are not right and accented characters like áéíóú don't work. Also, the caps lock key LED doesn't light.
I tried using HexEditor on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab to edit the binaries but I can't figure out what maps to what so I'm stuck.
It's just so frustrating to have that nice keyboard sitting around. Would be a waste to have to buy and carry two keyboards, one for the iPhone and another one for the Tab.
To make matters more complicated, I like running the Galaxy Tab's Android UI in English, and I have a Mac so I can't run the suggested bin editors for Windows.
One would think that with the OS X being Unix-based and Android being Linux-based it should be as easy as copying a keyboard layout file from the Mac (or the iPhone) to the Tab, but it seems there is no such luck.

This thread is great! Anyone who has made a Swedish layout for the Apple Wireless Keyboard yet?

I've got one apple wireless keyboard also, and i'm remapping it. Does your Fn button works? How did you manage to find the scancodes from the F1, F2 ... keys?
Are you able pass the lockscreen with the keyboard? without touching the screen i mean.

For those who are not rooted or just don't want to mess with a hexeditor I've got an app that takes care of this and allready supports a lot of different layouts:
