How often do you use the qwerty keyboard?

I hear some people almost never use the qwerty keyboard and just use the numkeys with t9 instead.
So, how often do you use your qwerty? Do you use it at all?

I use the keyboard a lot. If I need enter more than one word, I use the qwerty. I write many lines of notes, IM... Now I dont wait until I come to computer and reply to mails imidiately. It's really useful for me.
(Maybe you could make a poll. )

lots
I use mine everyday. Got free sms's every time i load my sim so i type a lot and spam all my m8's hehehe

Me. I hate numeric keypad with T9 - vote for keyboard! 1+

I disabled the XT9 garbage (it was so annoying with the qwerty). The keyboard is why i bought the phone.

It's good though having the phone pad for quick input. I used to have a Wizard and hated having to slide the keyboard out every time I needed to input something (I know there's a soft keyboard on PPC but they're far too fiddly!).
One other thing I like about the Wings QWERTY keyboard is that you can access most of the secondary keys by a long press instead of having to press the Fn key first. I thought it only applied to the number section but discovered by accident that it works on all keys with an alphabetical base key.
All I need to do now is work out how to map different function keys - I use '&' a lot but having to press Fn+Sym, then navigate the symbol grid is a pain.

I have same problem. I am spanish and I use spanis characters that can only be found in Symbol screen... and it takes too much time!. Any way to make shortcuts?

****ing Never
I use the Resco Keyboard Pro.

Does Resco Kb Pro works for Smartphones? I have only found it for PPC... and idea where I cand find it? How does it solve the problem?
Thanks indeed!

yeah your'e right need a ****in stylus. sorry went brain dead there.

There should be a way to redefine little blue simbols in keyboard buttons so I cand obtain spanish accent or spanish N instead of, i.e, ; or whatever.
Any other idea?
Thanks for your try, anyway...

sometimes i type fast and then the keyboard cant catch up with me. its really annoying. why cant the stupid processor not keep up with the input?? i also noticed that while im typing fast, some letters are missing.
does this happen to you too??
is there any solution?

I really didn't notice that; I am not very fast typing... my problem is that I can not type with XT9 while I am looking to the screen to ensure that the word choosen is the word that I want to writte... well, I can, but it's a very slow procerss.
This is ehy I like to writte with ABC, but having the option to input spanish characters in a fast mode ...

I have the same problem as yours. Is this a bug in Diamond because I haven't had this before with my Tytn II?

type "william" then press and hold the space key to get a " " (space); then type "b" to get wiliam beta.
press space key without holding it will select willam apple in your example.

yes...press Menu->Check Names. OK?

Guys, what you are all refering too is the famous t9 bug. (already in TytnII diamond ROM releases)
Look for "disable t9" cab , run it and use original (not Diamond) keyboard and you'll see ALL names when one or two or more letters are typed.
You will also have word completion / suggestion running than.
it is a workaround as there seems to be no full solution yet to have all names visible with t9 enabled in Diamond KB mode

Press the left or right or down button to see another contact.

I have been searching about this issue and only managed to find this thread. Has this by any chance been solved? It is annoying me to no end. The Left or right button press dows not do it for me!
If I have "Adam Alpha" and "Adam Beta" in my contacts list there seems to be NO WAY to choose Adam Beta except through the add recepients function in the menu. On my old touch, I used to be able to add receipients by simply typing the first few letters of a contact and the list of contact options would show up! This sux so bad now! If I type in the name, there is simply NO way at all to get "Adam Beta"...you can only get Alpha!
Grrrrrr.... Using that cab and the WM keyboard is not a solution for me....I need a thumb capable solution....

Thanks save ferris....I didn't realize that option was available....helps. However, it is still two keypresses longer than before. You have to press menu, and then check names....before, if you just typed in Ada, the names/options would show up to choose from immediately....
It seems to be a step backwards in design to me. I was just wondering if there was some kind of potential registry fix to show more options...

zooming on Opera

Goodmorning to all of you...
I'm having a question..I have a compact IV now for a couple of weeks which is now fully customized with an original stock ROM from HTC but since a few days i'm not able to zoom with Opera..
what I mean is that when I search for a mobile website, it will open, but I can't zoom in or out with tapping on the screen...I already looked into the settings and that should be ok..the mobile view option is enabled...
I'm also using Advanced Config..had that something to do with this??
I hope somebody could help me with this, maybe i'm not the only one with this problem!
Thanxx everybody in advance
Jeroen

is there somebody who can help me with this???

not just you
i can't use it too !

Have you tried a soft reset?
Mostly when I have a problem this is solved by a soft reset.
Also turning off and on wil help often to problems that occur after some time.
Grtzzz

Can you zoom by using the "wheel"? I mean by using a circular motion with your finger around the center button?

No, i'm not even able to use the wheel.. and a soft reset also doesn't work either.. also some text on the right hand side of the screen isn't aligned..maybe I can make a screenshot of it...

Which rom do you use? This might be the problem.
Remember when it worked for the last time?
If yes think about what you did after.
Maybe you installed a program which causes this.
Try to uninstall the program or programs if you did.
When you installed more then one delete one after each other and remember which program did make the problem to your browser and post it here.
Grtzzz

at this moment i'm using the original HTC stock rom v1.37 Europe edition, i've installed Advanced Config and that's all....i might try another hard reset but I would prefer another method to get rid of this annoying problem...

1.37
Why not go to 1.93 its much faster and smoother.
This might also solve your problem.
Grtzzz

Pirtje...as for the text overflowing on right side...Opera sometimes does not reposition text that are in tables of more than one cell (and possibly other times as well). If those items are in a table, that is most likely the cause.

I might do that later...because I don't have an version which I can use, because I have a mda Compact IV which is Hard spl-ed 1.40 but can't upgrade to 1.93..
at least...don't know how to manage that...

Check that you have not got a tick in the 'mobile view' in settings. You can't zoom when that is checked.

I have the same problem and I'm sure, first it was possible to zoom in mobile view for me. When I zoomed in this mode the site zoomed in and text was broken to the new format after a few seconds. Now it is in fact only possible without mobile view, but this is not very usefull for me, because text is will not be reformated in this mode. Don't know what happend.

first uncheck the mobile view box......and then anywhere on the website double tap the screen and this will zoom in automatically and then start using the wheel to zoom in or out etc....this will auto format the text to fit the screen......the catch is to "double tap" on the screen first before using the scroll wheel otherwise the scroll wheel will not auto format the text to fit the screen......

Messages name auto complete

Ok, so when I used to start typeing a contacts name in the 'to' field of message, it would give me a list of names or numbers after putting in a few letters or numbers. Now I have to put in a couple letters/numbers and then go to check name. Anyone have any idea how i turned this off.

try this:
u want to send sms to Johny, start typing to the name field "Jo" and then push the space bar on your keyboard, an option of the possible names should pop up at the bottom.

ok, now I feel a bit retarded, don't remember doing that before, but guess it was. Thanks.

Have loaded any new touch keyboards to your device. For me, that feature will stop working after I add any new keyboards. It will come back for a bit after a soft reset, but then it goes away again. Once I remove the offending keyboard, then it works again... I wish I could have both.
I have a similar problem if I use large title bar. When its loaded, the roller wheel on the side no longer controls call volume... Again, wish I had both!

You should't have to enter a space to get the options. It should appear as your typing.
As mentioned above if you installed a keyboard from another device, such as the Touch or Diamond, with T9/XT9 you will lose this auto complete and word suddgestion. There is a disable XT9 cab witch will give you the auto complete and word suddgestion back, but cause the non defult keyboards to enter number only, no letters. it that is the case you have to decide witch is more important to you.
Did you install another keyboard? or did it just stop working as it had?

I will agree that the Installation of Customer SIPs like PCMKeyboard or something else will interfere with this..

TouchPal 3.5 and HTC Diamond = incompatibility !!!

Does anyone else have the following problem ?:
When you go to the SMS tab, and press the small box to start writing new SMS, if you use the original Diamond keyboard, you can just type a few letters of your contact and it will fully appear. If you use TouchPal (I'm using version 3.5), this feature is disabled, you have to type your entire contact name every time, it doesn't recognize the first few letters and try to find a match. This is SO annoying !
Please tell me there is some workaround...

Could it be that the Diamond's original keyboard stores all the contact information in the Keyboard dictionary ?, if this is true, it means no keyboard apart from Diamond's original will allow quick find of contacts in SMS...

no problem with me..
say for eg you wanna call "home"
just press H O and enter and then it will detect home in my contact.
i suspect the problem may be.. touchpal "store" what you pressed in its own list instead of going up to the SMS directly..

Same problem. Would love to see an solution, but I think there is none...

Wizard,
Do you have the Touchpal keyboard ???

its free for personal use available online..

The contacts don't display when you start typing, but if you only type a few letters and then press send a page appears with all contacts that have the letters you've typed in their names. You can then tap the contact you wish to send to.
I don't find it a problem.
