It never did until yesterday. Unless i clicked the "show keypad" button. Now on entering any message program and Internet explorer etc it pops up !
thanks
I always thought the default settings for the keypad was that when you opened a page, if the 'default' place for the cursor was in any sort of 'text input' box (web browser URL bar, messaging login or text box etc...) then the keyboard would pop-up automatically, as soon as you clicked outside of the text box the keyboard disappeared?.
I'm at work so there may be mistakes so just let me know!
You will need to download:
Cool Texter(An app that allows you to never send boring messages anymore, this app makes your texts look cool!)
Handcent Sms (send sms/mms with customized options.
Better keyboard (An alternate on screen keyboard)
After downloading all of the apps you will have to:
Go to Setttings>Locale & text>Better Keyboard
Go to anywhere where you can use the on screen keyboard. Long press on the text field. There will be a pop up. Click Input method>Better Keyboard. When you click on the text field you should see a different on screen keyboard. (If you go to Better Keyboard setting you can change the skin of the on screen keyboard.)
Open Cool Texter
-Making a signature for texting.
-Click Name Maker and type what you want the signature to be. (If you want to have the letters looking creative you can type first in the Cool Text top field box and click on the text field on the bottom and it will automatically copy the new style of the text. There is an option in the middle to change the style.) Choose the signature that you like and click on it and it will automatically copy it.
Open Handcent Sms
Click Menu>Settings
You can change almost everything. I will explain the signature part only cause I had you create one in Cool Texter
.
Click on Enable signature>Personal signature than in the text field box with the keyboard open press Menu + V. Click Ok.
There you go enjoy. There will be many questions just ask. The more you check the setting and try the apps out you will see more things. You can edit individual setting to different people you are texting. At least from my experience.
Or change the dictionary into what i'm using for (for example Indonesian, etc.).
It's quite annoying when i'm pressing space key, the word will auto complete into the word i'm not wanted.
is in your language & keyboard settings. Enter and select Android Keyboard
then just toggle off Auto-complete.
Yuh gotta try this - definite best keyboard i've used.

The Beta worked for about 14 days, and then the phone started doing some random hangs. and after not being able to type anything in a SMS i changed the keyboard back, and my phone is now normal.
Cool keyboard, but might cause problems....
when the beta stops working you might want to try Perfect Keyboard, and Smart keyboard, they have similar options, except importing SMS into dictionary.
Thanks for it
I will try and see
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Premium App
i can absolutely recommend swiftkey. try it guys.
This looks nice. Will try it out...
Go Keyboard problems
1. I use the speech recognition a lot. When I set the Voice Key to 'On main keyboard' I loose the Comma key.
Is there any way I can get both the voice key and the comma key on the main screen?
2. When I use the voice recognition (the Voice Recognition is great, 90% or better) but if I try to edit the phrase it shows because a letter is incorrect. I put the cursor to the right of the letter and hit backspace or space and it pastes the whole phrase in again in the middle of the phrase I am trying to edit. Any idea how to avoid this?
I really like Go Keyboard, but these 2 things are driving me nuts.
Regards,
Mark
I cant seem to be getting the T9 on the messaging. As soon as i click on the msg body , the t9 button just disaapears.. it appears on when I am adding a contact name... any clue on how to fix this ?
How does it compare to Swype?
This version of Swype is not the latest, but it works with the default HTC msg app. The latest beta does not capitalize or add spaces between words. This one adds spaces when you enter the NEXT word in the sentence. It's odd, but at least it works.
Download the apk, use Root Explorer or another file manager to install. Go to settings / language & keyboard, and enable Swype. Then go to any text input field (browser, msg app) and longpress the input field. When you lift your finger, "Input method" popup box appears. Touch the box and select Swype. Go back to settings / language & keyboard to change Swype settings as desired.
Thanks for the info. For me, Swype doesn't add a space between words. I've reinstalled and tried everything and it still doesn't work.
I'll download and try your fix.
