Hi Everyone,
I have a nice shiny orange spv m700. Unfortuantly, in Orange's wisdom they supply a ROM which does not have any form of thumb based text entry.
In order not to void my warranty I am not going to flash the ROM. Especially as I have tomtom 6 working perfectly and removed the orange garbage from the today screen.
However I am going mad withouth t9 text entry! I have downloaded and installed phonepad english, phonepad international, tengothumb and none of them work! They install fine but not come up when you select them. Ive tried setting them to default text entry but to no avail. I have installed them on the device not the memory card and there is lots of memory spare.
Can someone please help me has anyone found the trick? I have 7 days to return the phone but until i try phonepad i dont know whether i want to keep it (never used a phone withouth keyboard before).
Thanks in advance
Warny
me too
i have been asking about this too the last day or so. the dopod rom has it built in but i am worried that once i have put the dopod rom on then i cant go back to the orange one if i dont want to keep the phone.
No one seems to be replying about dumping my original orange rom so at the mo we are a bit stuffed.

Try install the attached cab, then goto program>G4 SIP Startup select phonepad as default SIP, then softreset. However TengoThumb would not work for Trinity for some reason.

Hi, it doesnt work for me. I install the cab you supplied on the device, did the setup and soft reset, still does the same thing (select phonepad in list and nothing happens)
any more ideas?
Thanks

Install phonepad, then G4 SIP tweak, then select phonepad as startup SIP in G4 SIP Tweak, soft-reset. It works for me.

How did you get it to work?
Cheers the G4 does the trick
thank you for the solution!! worked first time for me, installed the tweak then phone pad english and soft resetted. so glad to have phonepad back!
OK I got the G4 Sip program installed but the phonepad never works - just pops up the standard keyboard. I have a Orange M700 - any suggestions? Thanks
Uninstall both then install sip change, reinstall phone pad select phone pad as default and it should work...
Or if all else fails purchase SK tools as this always works and has many useful extra features.
Thanks for all the useful info
I got mine working on my SPV M700 by:
1) Uninstall SIP Change & Phone Pad & G4 SIP Tweak (If you have any of them installed already)
2) Copy G4 SIP Tweak CAB to PPC and install
3) Soft Reset
4) Copy Phone Pad CAB to PPC and install
5) Soft Reset
6) Copy SIP Change CAB to PPC and install
7) Soft Reset
8) Start SIP Change (From Start Menu - Programs) and select Phone Pad and make sure delay is set to 10
9) Soft Reset
This is the only way I have managed to get mine working, and I dare not reset the device again incase it fails lol
Yet another hapless convert to smartphone

Hi, hope this thread isn't dead just yet...as a newbie here and a recent convert to the world of the touch screen... I've had a good search around the web for a thumb entry system (have to admit thought is was a standard feature on smartphones cos I'd seen it working on an O2 XDAmini. So was more than a little dissappointed to find it wasn't on the M700 (after my 7 day's were up).
I've tried installing tengo thumb with the same limited success as a previous contributor, lots of resets I assume a soft reset is button on the bottom you prod with the stylus?
I've tried various combinations of loading G4 SIP Tweak, and Phone Pad cab, and have the 'Phone Pad appears in list but doesn't do anything' problem...
I noticed in your post you mentioned uninstalling 'SIP Change' that's some I've not downloaded separately, got the G4 SIP tweak and the phone pad.
Also there appears to be two places (3 including the input icon in settings) where you can select Phone Pad there's 'G4 SIP Hide' in the sytem menu where it say's don't choose the wrong SIP here as its likely to **** everything up. And then there's the 'G4 Sip Startup changer' in my programs directory. Are either of these the 'G4 SIP Tweak' utility.
So i'll give it another go but wondered if I've
1. got the right cab's, tweaks and whistles
2. got my SIP application confused
3. just plain confused
Any help greating appreciated.
Also must be trying too hard with the stylus as I'm on no. 2 already!
Thanks for listening
Awesome, this has been plaguing me for a long time, whatever i did i could not get any keyboard except the standard ones to stick and be useable, fine with a stylus, no good for one handed operation.
Now it all works and like the rest its a case of remove anything resembling SIP management and alternate SIPs and then install G4 Tweak and then Phone Pad, select PhonePad in the G4 interface and soft reset. Bingo a working phone pad.
Phone Pad

I was in a similar position to you. I managed to get mine working eventually - I found that I didn't need Sip Change. I just installed SIP Tweak, then Phone Pad. I think perhaps the key thing is to soft reset immediately after selecting Phone Pad on Tweak. Once I'd done that it finally worked, and has continued to work even after when I've shut down normally.
Hello folks, i have searched these forums and cant seem to find the answer i am looking for regarding xt9 and the kaiser.
I have a kaiser and have installed WM6.1 duttys march04 rom and 1.64.08.21 radio, with the HTC touch keyboard and keypad CAB.
The keyboard/keypad work excellently when using the device with one hand, and xt9 seems to pick up alot of words
BUT
when i am typing long texts/emails, and using the slide out hardware keyboard,
xt9 deletes characters and corrects words when i dont want it to, even when i click the xt9 symbol to turn it off, or even change it to a different input like Keyboard or Transcriber. very annoying/useless.
please help!!
thanks in advance
mcall_r
nobody got this same issue?
You might be looking for a way to disable xt9 then.
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...w&q=Disable+XT9&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
no i dont want to disable xt9 totally i only want to disable it for the hardware keyboard, as it works great for the "touch" keyboard/keypad, and i hate using abc input.
Is this possible?
use the xda google search try these to search these words: Xt9 and hardware keyboard.
look at the fifth link. someone had the exact same problem as you and the solution was given. it was dutty's disable xt9

that disbale uutility will screw up your keypad even worse. When it installs, it wipes out the image files used for the xt9 and then you won't be able to uninstall the touch keyboard/pad at all. I would recommend not using the disable utility.
Keep in mind that the Touch keyboad/pad was designed for the HTC Touch device, which doesn't have a slide out keyboard. Therefore the code was never meant to run on the Tilt, at least perfectly. I've tried every variation of the touch keyboad and they all don't work well for one reason or another....
i see.... well thanks anyway.
does anyone know of a GOOD alternative to the touch keypad app?
ive tried alot of others such as
FingerFriendlyFriends
PCMKeyboard
Phone Pad
Touchpal
but none of them are as good/easy to use.
Cheers

yes please elaborate
"it" being the disable xt9, given that I have the touch keyboard installed.
it may be that you are using the touch keyboard that's already installed as part of the rom, in that case the disable utility probably works. I was using a cab based install of the touch keyboard, one that worked with my tilt fine except for the lost of auto-correct and no word suggestion anymore. When I installed the disable xt9 utlity, it wiped out the images used within the keyboard but still left xt9 installed but in a non-useable way. Then I had to manually remove everything, both the keyboard and the disable util manually because neither would uninstall now....
I have an European version of the Kaiser/TyTnII which I loaded Remote Desktop for WM6. I connect to my VPN using this after entering through SonicWall using Sonic's Pocket GVC. When connected I find that I can't use certain keyboard keys (both screen and thumboard) and others I can only use in Caps mode. Has anyone heard of this issue?
Thanks.
I had a similar problem some time ago. I was pretty clear to me that it had something to do with the keyboard mappings which weren't identical on the Kaiser and my computer(keyboard). I have no idea if there is a better solution out there, but this is how I fixed it:
Solution: Add support for a second keyboard mapping to your OS
Go to 'Control Panel'
Go to 'Regional and Language Options'
Go to the second tab 'languages' and click on 'details'
Choose 'Add'
Add 'English (United States)' and click 'Ok'
Close the opened windows.
In the taksbar you should see now a blue button with 2 letters in it. These letters represent the keyboard mapping you are using. By clicking on it you can change the keyboard layout.
Next time when you connect via Remote Desktop with your Kaiser, use your Kaiser to change the keyboard layout by clicking on the button and altering the keyboard layout. When you're finished, just click on it again and change your keyboard layout back to the original.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, i will give that a try.
VPN to SonicWall ?
I also have a European version of the Kaiser/TyTnII with WM6 Prof and I want to connect to a SonicWall TZ170. I tried Sonicwall's Pocket GVC but I could not install in on wm6 (not supported).
Could you give me more details about how you made the vpn connection the Sonicwall?
Thanks
VPN to SonicWall
I have the same problem with my HTC Touch Diamond (WM 6.1).
I can't find a VPN client. The one I tried only works with Windows CE Pocket PC 2003.
Anyone has found a solution to the problem?
Thanks
is there a fix to allow my phone styled keypad and compact qwerty to write letters instead of numbers. Even if the letters are selected. This makes it extemely hard to write texts when one the move as i have to use the full qwerty which now does not wish to return to letters, after inserting a new contact!
so far i have tried swithcing keyboards back and forth and a soft reset. is there a CAB to update this keyboard or anything like that.
I have tried searching but the search function returns pretty much every post with the word keyboard in it which isnt too handy!
cheers

i've had that problem with the diamond keyboard installed on my touch pro, and all i did was switch to the standard windows keyboard, and then back to the phonepad and it works fine. if you need to, you could reinstall the diamond keyboard, its on here somewhere in this forum.

i have been looking, but like i said i get every single return of 'keyboard' in the search!
Hello,
I was browsing through all settings and I was trying the default Windows Keyboard, but now I cannot get the normal keyboard back? I say that it should chose this keyboard, press OK and try it but it's still the Windows keyboard. If you open settings again it also says Windows keyboard. Any way to fix this?
Regards,
