Help with Hero Keyboard - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The HTC_IME keyboard thing or whatever its called lol...can u make it so that it doesnt do auto predict when you use the g1's slide out keyboard? It's really annoying and slows up the phone. Ive looked in the setting and nothing works.. can someone help please?

Open the soft keyboard, look in the bottom left corner. There should be a cog-looking thing next to the comma key. Pressing this will take you into a settings screen. Tap "Text Input" and there you are.
Hope I helped.

Deactivate touch keyboard?

Is there a way to deactivate poping up of the touch keyboard? Everytime when I am in an input field the touch keyboard pops up. But if I really want to enter something I want to use the QWERTY hardware keyboard. So is there a way to deactivate that the touch keyboard always pops up?
3 new threads out of 5 total posts... some would look down upon that. Since a simple search by me for your problem did not yield any direct answers, here's your freebie. Welcome to XDA!
When you go to a text box in landscape mode and the onscreen keyboard pops up, tap the space bar on the hardware keyboard. That will tell the phone not to pop up the onscreen keyboard again until you tap the icon for it.
No, I mean not when I have my hardware keyboard folded out. I mean when it is folded that the touchscreen keyboard doesnt show up.

OK, let's try this again... so is this your situation?
You are using the phone in portrait mode with the hardware keyboard closed. When you click into a text box, the onscreen keyboard pops us. But you do not want the keyboard to pop up. You want to be able to click into text fields with the phone closed, but not have the onscreen keyboard pop up.
Did I summarize that correctly? If so, I'm working on the answer, give me a little bit.
--Edit--
I just tried the following steps:
Slide the phone open
Open PIE and go to Google
Tap into the text box; the onscreen keyboard did not come up
Tap the icon for the onscreen keyboard; it came up
Tap away from the text box; keyboard went away
Tap into the text box; keyboard came back
Tap Space on hardware keyboard; onscreen went away
Tap away from the text box
Slide the phone closed
Tap into the text box; onscreen keyboard did not come back
Follow my steps just to see if that is your solution. If not, it could quite possibly be ROM dependent.
Your summary is correct.
Here is what happens at my Kaiser:
When I am on google the onscreen keyboard is there. Everything else works fine but I dont like that the onscreen keyboard comes everytime I am in a textbox.
I am using the ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403214
Try the steps I listed above. Also, if you tap a second time in the text box, the keyboard will close, but pop back up if you go to another box.
The problem is that if I open PIE and got to google the onscreen keyboard will pop up without doing anything and I want to get rid of this "feature".

Touch-IT Blackstone keyboard bug help

The Touch keyboard cab which I downloaded here has some kind of weird bug. When I go to contact and edit info, in the number bar, the keyboard automatically turn into symbols and 123. Then I can't change it back into ABC. I keep on pressing the ABC key but nothing happen. Even I go to Word or sms I can't go back into ABC.
Any help?

Landscape Toggle?

Hi
I'm a big noob and I apologize in advance if this has been covered, but I have been looking everywhere for it and dont even know what it would be called. I have an AT&T Tilt and running mbarvian's amazing Solacev 3.1 ROM. I recently spilled coffee on my phone and cant use the qwerty correctly. I ordered a new one on Ebay, but it will be a while before it gets here. I have installed the HTCDiamond qwerty on the phone, and really like it. I would prefer to use it in landscape when I SMS and browse online. Is there a way I can put my phone into landscape without flipping the qwerty out? Maybe a setting I cant find or a .cab out there I dont know about? What I would like is a program where I could assign it to a button to put the phone into landscape view. Any idea what I'm talking about or am I just retarded?
You could use mortscript (you'll find it somewhere around here) and create a script to flip it into landscape. Dead easy.
simple!
i have button 6 hold (button 6 is the PTT button on the left side of the device above the scroll wheel) mapped to "Rotate Screen".
goto Settings->Personal->Buttons and select "Button 6 (hold)" (or whatever button you want) and map it by choosing "<Rotate Screen>" near the top in the drop down list on the bottom.
Awesome, thanks alot

[Q] Is there a rom that increases the keyboard size?

I am having an extremely difficult time texting or entering text on this phone. is there a particular rom that addresses this? perhaps simply a replacement keyboard style? It's really the only thing holding me back from somewhat liking the phone.
Thanks!
You can try other keyboard programs.
Try spb keyboard (it has a full screen mode), resco keyboard or FingerKeyboard.
This may be a dumb question, but did you try tapping the tiny little triangle icon beside the tiny little keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen when you're typing an email or text?
When you tap that little triangle, a menu pops up with some options. If the selected option is "Keyboard" you only get a really tiny little keyboard, which sucks if you've got bad eyesight, if your hands shake, if you lose your stylus, etc. If you pick the one "Full QWERTY" you get a much larger keyboard that's alot easier to use, even without the stylus. There's also an option to explore "Other Input Methods" but I've never messed with that because the qwerty keyboard is great for me.

Swype cant be turned off, I tried too, but couldn't find anything. You can disable suggestions by holding the Swype button in the bottom left corner of the keyboard and selecting options, in that menu there are the prediction options
in settings there is "next word prediction" and its off. But we still see words prediction above keyboard... Ill try some aosp keyboard, any advice?
I had the same problem. in the end i downloaded a AOSP like you mentioned and I no longer see predictive words!! yahooooooo
I and unsure why huawei made the phone like this. Other than that its an awesome phone
Why do you say you cant remove the Swype option? I chosc gboard and the swipe button/icon dissapeared. Anyway I now have this prediction issue. Really a pain in the neck. What to do? AOSP? What is it?
