Keyboard problems with my HTC Touch Pro - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, however, this seems to be the closest match to my phone.
I now have a new HTC Touch Pro and when I try to use the compact qwery keyboard, I cannot get the spacebar or shift key, also when I go into options to change to the different keyboards, none of them work correctly, exept for the phone keypad..now if I choose Full qwery, then it show the numberpads and the ABC key, however, when I choose ABC, it will not change.....
Is there a fix for this???!!

Can someone pls help with this issue????!!

Right soft key

Hi i have a kaiser on Uk orange. the right soft key says 'Go To ...' ttry as i may i can not change it at all. i have tried FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx, Key swop, Advanced Config and even editing the registry at Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\today\keys\113 (where they have two extra keys called 'mem1' and 'mem2'.) however whichever method i try the key always resets itself back to 'Go To'
Does anyone have any ideas how i can try and change it at all?

Thats strange, I always use advanced config for that and its working like a charm.
if youur on orange chances are youve got that crappy side bar on. go to settingsstart - settings - today - go to the second tab laballed ITEMS then untick the orange item. when you go back to your today screen contacts should be on the right
Yeah that did it cant believe how long it has taken to find that out, however is there any way i can get the sidebar back (not necessarily that one but an alternate one) as its really useful to have that stuff on the screen.

About the HTC Home, no I dont have it in my corner. I have some modified Diamon style tweaked for some of the dialers but havent made a cab of it since there is floating several around in here already. I might whanna have a go skinning one if I come up whit a kewl idea though. I am working on a SPB Theme atm (well not now, vacation atm. But will continue that project once back home), after that I have planned to make a cab/guide whit a nice theme for ultimatelaunch. And I also have promised a icon pack and some animations and on top of that I am eager to get back and work whit Leo on future projects. So it is kinda tight program for hobby timeline, but if you got a certain wish you could request it in my corner and who knows what happends from there and out
cool. it was just to show edblack in the right direction

No paste menu item on phone dialpad

Hi Guys & Gals:
Have you found there is no paste menu item on phone dialpad?!
Please if you found it, tell me how, cause it too much difficult to use. thank u!!!
Errr there is on mine (tlr 3 rom), if you have already copied something (a number i am assuming) then go to 'phone' and click menu (bottom right), then click 'paste', it is like the 7th option on that menu... what's the problem? maybe I misunderstood your issue...
hi man:
no, actually even i copied something like a phone number, this item still not exists. my rom version is 1.35.707.3 WWE, it's official.

Why don't try so:
1) select with the stylus what you need
2)push the stylus over there(it will appears a menu with copy option)
3)tap on copy
4)go to the application in wich you want paste it and simply re-push the stylus
5)it will appears the paste option...done
Edit:excuse me, i didn't read the title(No paste menu item on phone dialpad )sure you know my option.Sorry
Nevermind, but no one got idea?

Hm... nobody seems to get it - What Nuclear says is that there is no PASTE option in the phone keypad view. Used to be there on my TyTN, now it's gone!! Anybody know how to get it back?
I re-raised this issue here yesterday...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407216
It seems to have been an issue with the Diamond from the start, but no one seems to know how to enable pasting directly onto the dialer.
I think it's time HTC addressed this, as in my book it's a serious ommission.
I'm interested in a quick straw poll of Diamond users out there for whom this is an important issue?
If there's enough response, perhaps we can bring it to the attention of HTC.
Phone -> Menu -> Paste doesn't work?

Phone -> Menu -> Paste doesn't exist!
Perhaps the ROM you're using has the paste as an option here?
Perhaps also this is the reason that more of you aren't jumping up and down over this as it's perhaps ok on some versions. I've got a UK Orange with 1.37.405.1 WWE, and the more I hit times I need this feature the more wound up I'm getting about it.
I also don't have that option on my UK Orange Diamond, not really had to use it though.
It would seem that it has been fixed in .93; could some of you with standard .93 confirm this for sure?
If confirmed, it'll spur me on to flash an upgrade. Also if confirmed, could any of the more technically minded work out if it's a registry tweak, or a software re-write/upgrade.
TIA

Official vodafone UK 1.93.161.2 upgrade had the PASTE in the menu.
Previous 1.37.161.2 did not have it.
It may be due to HTC phone skin? Newer version has the menu option. Older version does not.
OR, may be due to code base 1.93.xxx.x has the option and previous code bases don't?
??
Thanks, mystery solved. So paste was obviously added as an option in the menu to .93. I can feel an upgrade coming on... just need some time to fit it in.

[Q] Paste in dialer
No, i haven't put shoe shine between my hardware keys.
What I really would like to find out is whether anyone has adressed the COMPLETELY INEXPLICABLE lack of a paste menu item in the dialer context menu? This is such a basic feature I can't believe they left it out!
Saw this issue in a search but there was never any conclusion.
Is this perhaps adressed in any ROMs?
Is there a registry setting?
Anyone?
Did you not read what's been just posted above?
Upgrade your rom to a 1.93 variant, and you should have it.

Welcome to the HTC Touch Diamond - home of many illogical choices and omissions of basic features
I've got Diamond Project 3.3 and no paste in the menu
It seems that diamond project is based on 1.93 but no paste option...
Any idea

Stuck with the SW-keyboard

Somehow I managed to change the keyboard look, but I don't have a clue how to get back to the letters. So if someone could give me a hint, I appreciate it.
hey, looks like its EZ input from HTC, just uninstall it, or very simple ckick in the middle bottom softkey and choose a different input method from dropdown menu, or install a different virtual keyboard, i recommend FingerKeyboard...
oh, just remembered, you can also change input setting from /settings/personal/input..
I already tried that, there are only two keyboards availably, but opn the other one also no possibility to change it. It seems I need to install a different one. Will try FingerKeyboard and report.
No that wasn't the solution. I re-installed WM 6.5 once again (had to although), but now the same. It changes, when I use the calendar in e.g. my contacts to create a birthday reminder. The display at the bottom in the middle is also not the usual one.
may be
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ezsip\CurrentSIP\
"D00" --> "A00"
That didn't worked also. I figured out that it happens when I switch to an option with time-settiings like in the calender. And then I can't switch back.
That is really a pity since I found a really good 6.5-ROM fitting to my.
Also changing the keyboard to another installesd one like "FingerKeyboard" doesn't work, there also is the Num-pad listed.
So any other suggestions? Beside "Change the ROM"

chinese input and keyboard layout

hi, I just installed the chinese input method that I found on this forum (the ngn4_cht_ezinput) and I love it. However, I got a little problem. Since the input mehod comes from a diff device, it has different keyboard layout than my tilt 2. Is there anyway to get the tilt 2's own ATT keyboard layout with the input method? I want it so I can use my keypboard to type stuff.
thanks a lot guys

thank you so much for the link.
I have already gotten the chinese input to work with the program I have previously download a working chinese input. However, my problem is not that I cannot input and view chinese but rather, I cannot use my included keyboard layout to type them due to the different layout that ATT uses on the Tilt 2. Anyone has any idea how can I use my keyboard to type them?
thanks a lot guys.
Try This! So far best for me.

Install from smaller to bigger file size. Including SIP, Ping Ying, Chinese Serch, Chinese Writing and recognize Chinese charators , work for me. Been using since WM6 till now. Now problem at all.
thank you so much for your feedback. I follow the instruction and installed it. It does let me type and read chinese but again, my ATT keyboard on the tilt 2 still is not working properly, ie the physical keys are not matching the onscreen keyboard layout.
Looks like it maybe impossible to use the physical keyboard with all of these other input methods that are not officially supported.

Thank you very much.
if you are using energy rom.. mayb u could try this:
quoted from Energyrom thread.
Carrier Provisioning: There are many different carriers, and some require different provisioning. If you are experiencing issues such as sending/receiving SMS/MMS, or your physical keyboard is not mapped corrected, you MAY need to provision for your carrier. For AT&T and T-Mobile, go to Start > Tools > Carrier Provisioning and select your carrier. For other carriers, go to Start > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks and either select from the drop down menus to edit or click on New to add a new one (you may need to contact your carrier to get the configuration information).
you can try 搜狗 input for wm

[Q] Soft Keyboard with Direction pad

My Droid 1 has a direction pad on the slide out keyboard which makes it nice for moving the cursor when entering in text instead of using your finger.
Does anyone know of a keyboard that can be installed that has a directional pad included? I got fat fingers and moving the cursor is hard enough lol. I'm running a few releases behind the newest Vegan build (just haven't backed up everything yet).
Thanks!
Bryan
(just realized this might want to be moved to the general section, not themes and apps.... sorry)
Smart keyboard use cursor keys.
Smart keyboard pro
Anyone actually managed to use them
I installed smart keyboard and Ultra keyboard but even when enabled the don't replace the existing keyboard. ( Vegan5.1 )
Using it now with tnt lite 3.1.2
Install with mod as discussed in other threads
Thumb keyboard is great for this tablet. Has cursor keys, and is easy to use. Can setup the layout for different size devices too.
Thanks for confirmation, I'll look for it

Do you actually know how to enable the keyboard? You have to select the checkmark in settings to let your tablet know it is available but to actually use the keyboard... You open something with a text box and then long press in the box. A popup should come up with input method as a selection. Tap that and all your keyboards will be there to pick from.
I only say this because I don't think you were doing the input method, change the keyboard thing...
Yes, I have them enabled the but I don't get the pop up to sellect the keyboard when I want to type. ( Working fine on my Desire phone)
Update, stupid me - long press in the text box
I am using thumb keyboard also and it has a great directional pad and seems to have great support. But either its the touch screen of the gtab or thumb keyboard cuz there is some serious issue of "lag" or lack of response. I am actually blaming the grab touch screen cuz I find it unresponsive in other places at times.

There was a thread awhile ago about touchscreen sensitivity, and a calibration apparently at boot. Search for 'calibration.ini'. It fixed the problem for lots of people.

I have found the directional keys on occasion to be a little slow myself. If you want to do the calibration of the screen just create a empty text file named calibration.ini and place it in the internal sdcard. I have one on the external also because I can never remember where it looks for it. Then reboot you tablet without touching the screen and it will do it's thing. You won't see it do anything, but it seems to work.
thumb keyboard
i also use thumb keyboard. goto handango to purchase it. less than 2 bux and its the best keyboard for gtab
ill have to give these a try out! Thanks!

Saw the video of it, looks great. Searched for it but can't find that version yet. Hope it will show up as an update soon.
OK, what am I doing wrong...
I installed several different keyboards (the free versions until I know they work for me) and I can not get any of them to be selected. I go into the settings and I see them listed and no matter how many times I press the checkbox they will not select. If I go into the settings for any of these new keayboards I get a force close.
Running TNT Lite 4.10 now. Same thing was happening on older versions.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

That is a known issue with TnT. There settings menu doesn't let you select keyboards. I don't use TnT anymore but there is a way to change the settings app to the normal Android type, select the keyboard, and then there is a way to go back to the TnT settings menu and they stick. Pain in the A.. You can't just change the settings menu and leave it because it hoses up other things. There are a couple other ways I think people do it but you just need to search for "alternate keyboards" or something like that.
I personally can't stand anything TnT and run vegaN.
I get a force close when using either Smart Keyboard Pro or Thumb Keyboard. Force closes only began after repartitioning .....any ideas?? I was successfully running Smart Keyboard Pro before repartition.
