Chinese Input, Dictionary, Calendar, Date & Time on Kaiser?

Sorry if i post at the wrong threads.
I'm interested in this htc kaiser at the first glance on it...
However i do have concern whether this device is can solve my need or not.
Most of the time i need somekind of mobile device that can help me on resolving the Chinese matter, Organizer, etc. With this device, i hope i can replace my mobile phone also.
Though pda phone, smartphone, pocket pc has been in the market for years. I'm not familiar with the technology yet.
Maybe i have been asking too much that i even dream i can just write the chinese word using the touch technology, rather than typing the pinyin.
So the question are:
Will this device (more on wm6) have both traditional and simplified chinese input similiar to windows xp?
Is there a traditional and simplified chinese dictionary software for this device?
Is there a chinese lunar calendar organizer software for this device?
Can it show the chinese lunar date & time besides normal universal date & time at the first screen?

I'm having the same kind of question.
I want to edit (or import) my own chinese dictionary table? How is it possible?

I bet you guys never used a Pocket PC or Windows Mobile before, don't you?
There is NO multilingual version of WM ever released. If it's a Eng version, there's only Eng input methods. If it's Chi, then you got very basic Eng input method plus Chi input methods including handwriting regconition.
However, that doesn't mean that you can't change the rom you are using, nor does that mean that you can't use some Chi add on software like CE-star or Monster.

haha... oh... you got me...
does those software come with dictionary to english and vice versa?
how about the lunar calendar, is there any software that you guys happened to know?
what do you means by changing the rom?

perhaps you can take a look on pdaviet.net

That depends very much on OEM. I know dopod china once bundled dictionary programs for their devices. But even if it don't come with one, you can install one yourself.

I know there's free lunar calendar program out there. Also, there's also a free today plugin for lunar calendar too. But I never used it and can't spell their names... You may want to try the developement forum.

By changing, I mean flasing the rom in other language, if one is available - of course that depends on quite a few things including if the vendor has locked your machine (CID locked) or if any free unlocker available, etc..

Thanks... thanks for the info...

Try CE-Star or Monster Chinese. These are add-ons to enable Chinese for non-Chinese Windows Devices.

Got it.
Thanks

I cannot recommend CE-Star nor Monster Chinese as they have a lot of problems working with Windows Mobile 6.
Because of that I am still looking for a working solution to be able to view and input Simplified Chinese on my UK Kaiser.
Anyone?

Hi, there're no choose for you, I have test the CE-Star and Monster, only the CE-Star is support Keyboard chinese input.

I have to come back to my previous post as I have been testing the latest CE-Star software (v2.8R3A) which I downloaded from the PxDxA from a user named Leies and so far it seems to be working rather nicely.
I uploaded the files to the following directory: CE-Star v2.8R3A
Right now only the Simplified Chinese base pack is uploaded but I'll add the traditional Chinese and other input menu's later on today.
I personally used the following files and can confirm that so far they seem to be working
- System_GBKC.cab
- Pinyin.cab
- Penpower_GBK.cab
- Crack_R3a.cab
First install the "System_GBKC.cab and do not reboot, then install the Pinyin.cab and Penpower_GBK.cab.
After that you must go to Start -> Programs -> CE-Star and run "install" and reboot after that.
After the reboot you can (must?) run "Crack_R3a.cab" and everything will work fine.
I suppose you can add the other input systems like "Jianyi.cab" and "ChaJei.cab" and also the Traditional Chinese base pack in the same way.

Best Chinese dictionaries
Guys, in terms of dictionaries for the Kaiser, have a look at Pleco Dict from Pleco Software. I have been learning Mandarin for a few years and found this piece of dictionary software the best, by miles. It has a huge range of functions and a good selction of dictioniaries.
I've run the current version on my MDA Pro, but note that there is a new version imminent and this includes Chinese-Chinese dictionaries. So for native speakers who might not use the language learning aspects of the current programme, the coming version will offer even more.

Hi Tr1gg3R,
I tried your link and not able to get the files. I have tried Monster Chinese on my AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925 or Tynt II) and yes it creates hell of issues such as:
1. Instant Messaging problem originally came with phone won't work (blank white screen now can't select AIM / MSN / Yahoo Messager to sign on)
2. Any / ALL Java applications won't work.
3. Most settings / menus now in Chinese without way to switch to English such as Google Maps
Uninstalling fixed all. I did eninstalled and they all function again.
I would like to try your CE-Star but the link you had is not doing anything. Help? Thanks.

Chinese
I have found a program that seems to work nicely with WM6.1 I have a tilt and it works fine. It does not allow for you to imput chinese other than simple, but it will allow you to read chinese. Also I use DR Eye 2.0 dictionary it slows my system down a little bit, but I really need to have some english to chinese dictionary. I do not know how to upload files but if you want them just send me a PM.

Chinese
I have uploaded the files to my 4shared account the link is. This is where you will find the cab file. I have tested this on most 6.1 roms ans seem to have no real lag or probles, but I only use my PDA for simple apps. If you have any problems let me know. Have fun Flashing

Word Completion problem

I was wondering if anyone has the same problem as I do. I am using ROM 1.34.8831.1 WWE and my word completion and word correction does not work.
I have tried START/SETTINGS/INPUT/WORD COMPLETION. but it changes nothing.
Comments or suggestions please..
Thanks

I encountered the same problem (I prefer the standard MS keyboard). I tried registry tweaks but must have missed something because still didn't work.
Then I installed KaiserTweak and in there disabled XT9 support and since then everything works great.
But again, that's for the default keyboard, it did work without tweaking on the diamond keyboards.

word completion with block recognizer
Hi
HTC in Australia) support clearly advise that word completion will not work on Touch Diamond when using block recognizer.
Is there anybody out there that can add this feature to the Touch Diamond - even if it is not available on other input methods?

Word completion does work for block recognizer, do as dutch64 mentioned.

Strange...i have exactly the oposite problem
i don't like word completion feature, and so i try all ways to disable it (from settings menu and from Advanc. conf. tool), but i only get it 100% disabled when i use Panosha ROMs ...

logmein keyboard issue **SOLVED**

o.k. There seems to be two ways to solve this.
If you want to keep the software keyboard do this:
go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2&postcount=36
1. Download & install the KforTouchPro app.
2. Launch KforTouchPro (It is installed into the Games folder)
3. Click the Switch to M$ IME button.
4. Click Minimize in the lower right corner
5. Launch Logmein using PIE
6. Type away using your hardware keyboard.
If you only use the Hardware Keyboard and do not want to use KforTouchPro:
This is a simple Regedit.
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409]
(MS IME mode)
Ime File = \windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
-or-
(HTC T9 mode)
Ime File = \windows\eT9ime.dll
Layout Text = eT9 IME
WOO HOO!!!!!!!! Thank you very much to KevinGibert, fhsieh, and Colorado_al

Same issue, on my TouchPro, with stock ROM and now with Elite ROM, same issue.
Anyone got any work around?

Same problem. Since my previous device was a Touch, I never missed/used a slide out keyboard. The keyboard works just fine on the Kaiser. I'm going to question Logmein on this issue.

glad to see i am not alone! I have been having the same problem

Yeah, one thing I dont understand is that the virtual keyboard from the apps doesnt work either...?
Also what Cab are you guys using for the remote client?
RACtrlCE?

I'm having the same issue, I think it would help if we all submitted a support ticket.

Ah, crap. Me too.
There is a workaround:
If you change your input method to the default WM keyboard by pressing to the right of the keyboard icon and choosing "Keyboard" before you start the session, you will be able to use the soft-keyboard. Still no hardware keyboard.
It sucks, but at least it works. If I can't have a fully functional LMI setup on my FUZE, I'm returning it.

No prob, will do.

Fix
Here's an app someone made in another thread. Basically the reason the hardware keyboard won't work with some legacy apps is because of the way the touch pro's auto completion system works. This app lets you switch it off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791652&postcount=36

Has anyone had the opportunity to test this app yet? I dont have my fuze with me today because I was kind enough to swap phones with my wife today to see if she wants to upgrade from her BB Pearl.
I would love to know if this works so I can update the first post with the info.

Make sure you're not using T9. On the QWERTY KBD, there is a switch for ABC - T9. Make sure it says ABC, then switch keyboards, and try it again.
Not sure, but worth a try.

I just tried the above posted CAB and it still does not work. The only keys that work... and they worked prior to the CAB were the arrow keys and the Del key.
Al,
Which ROM are you using?

I tried with this CAB in the past, didnt help.
T9 is one of the first thing I disable as well...
I just tryed again with Elite ROM, no changes. I can use shift/tab/del/enter/arrows, but no letters/numers/special characters =(

Just spoke to Support, they know about the issue, it has been escalated but there is no fix at this time nor is there a timeframe for an update.
Just wait till more people get there hands on FUZEs from AT&T, then they will blow their FUSEs!
So right now the best thing I can think of is to enable the onscreen keyboard (OSK.EXE) in windows and place a shortcut on ur quick lauch. What a shame... that we have this nice slideout keyboard and no use for it!

I feel bad for the people who pay for logmein pro, although I am sure they have more influence than I do as a free user.

That would me me... Unfortunately, I don't think I influenced anyone during that call. Not to say that 200 - 300 support tickets for the same issue wouldn't either. IMO I think anyone having problems with the TP keyboard and logmein should report it to Logmein whether they pay or not, it might get them to move on it a bit faster.

I just submitted this just now...
Hello, I am currently unable to use the built-in keyboard of my new phone in Windows Mobile 6.1.
My phone is a HTC Touch Pro also known as the ATT Fuze, I and other user of the same phone all have the same issue.
I am told it`s a known Issue, can I expect a patch/workaround or a newer CAB to address this issue?
Thanks

You might try the software found in this post:
http://www.forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791652&postcount=36
It changes the weird raphael IME to a default one. Works for me in PocketGBA and even DOSBox and TomTom.
If it works, maybe you encourage the author to open a thread especially for this software as I searched quite a while to find a workin solution for the strange keyboard behaviour.

Vlingo Released for Windows Mobile (but not Raph)

Vlingo, the awesome speach to text program has released a beta for Windows Mobile.
Unforunately, the Raphael isn't supported yet.
When I try to install the cab, it quits and says my phone isn't supported yet. I wonder if it doesn't support our devices because of a technical limitation, or they just haven't tested yet. Can we modify the cab so it doesn't quit on the Raphael?
Cab for touchscreen devices

I am testing it now and i think the problem is assigning it a hardware key since htc thought it would be wise not let anyone assign the hardware keys to what they wanted and as you go through the setup it asks you so pick a hardware key to launch the app from so unless you have a modded keypad.dll file you might have a hard time with this app.

I set what you mean. It's asking me to map button "???", but only button "Send Key(hold)" appears in the buttons window.

Loaded it up and mapped it to the talk (hold) button, then later changed it to the PTT button. It works, but it doesn't seem to like 6.5 much. It crashes when trying to send an email and if I try to say "email or text john smith" but if I say email or text and no name it brings up the window, but eventually crashes again. The errors are consistent with other programs that don't like 6.5. Otherwise it looks like some good competition for TellMe that should be released soon. I will keep toying with it.
The search seems to work well, although the program again is not finger friendly in 6.5.
Anyone have experience with VLingo and 6.1 or 6.0?

I used the cab from the 2nd post (fixed one) and it works with "HTC Fuze" and during setup, it force's you to map to the talk (hold) button, which you can change afterwards.

HTC Fuze
Hi - this is some great and clever work. We're glad to see users finding a way on their own devices. A few points to clear things up for you guys:
You are correct we don't support WM 6.5 on any devices.
The reason you can install on the fuze is because we did some internal testing and we allow the HTC Fuze model to make it through the install/setup. As you can see the graphics aren't fully there for this device compared to the other devices. As you mentioned the inability for average users to select a suitable key to map vlingo too on the HTC Fuze lead us to dropping official support on the device. For folks as eager as you guys - loves it - the normal touch vlingo.cab should install on the HTC Fuze running on WM 6.1. Please note that since this is a beta you will run into some glitches and since this device was not officially supported it may have more glitches than we'd like.
Please let us know if you have any additional feedback or run problems via our support channel - www.vlingo.com/support.jsp (the last question in the FAQ has a link to our support form).
Thanks for helping us with our beta testing.

Glad to see Vlingo here in the forums! I enjoy torturing my device daily, and look forward to 6.5 support in the future. As for the keyboard button remap, I think that was addressed in Rom update about a week ago from HTC, so this may solve the issues for the Fuze owners. If not, XDA users have apps to fix it. I also ran vlingo on the iphone and it's great. Keep up the active support and research.

Anyone? Anyone with touchpro (sprint) been able to do this?

I get an error when I try to run the vlingo.exe. So I removed it from my phone. However, I can't seem to delete the shortcut from my start menu?

with file explorer, look in your program files and delete vlingo folder also go to windows folder and delete it from there...

What I don't understand is if there is a problem with mapping a button on Vlingo why didn't they just copy the iphone's UI so we could just push it on our touchscreen instead of mapping it if that was the case then iphone shouldn't be supported either.

Any way you can post a CAB of the patched keyboard?
I tried it on NRG's 3.0 series and it would let me map (prolly because he uses Da_G's kitchen) but it wouldn't let me send text/email or initiate call. It was pretty much broken.
So I grabbed the only 6.1 rom that is still somewhat being updated: Elite RC4. However it must not have the patched keyboard, because I can't get past the intitial setup of vlingo, as it won't let me assign a command to the "???" button.
I really want to get this working! I think it'd be a lot quicker sending texts since the spacebar on my keyboard only works 10% of the time... heh

This seems to be the most active thread about vlingo...I have an htc herald and am using the fixed cab from this thread. It seems the key to the button setup is to use the number 1 button specified on your device. I struggled with this for some time. although i have vlingo activated through my buttons, none of the capabilities are working. after it tells me to speak and it starts thinking it comes back with two different errors. both errors are telling me it can't find the server and to check my data connection.
