Upgraded phonepad text entry?

Firstly, may I say this is an excellent forum and a mine of useful information. I've had my Wizard (O2 XDA Mini S) for a couple of weeks and have found all sorts of useful stuff on here for it, so thank you very much.
I do have one gripe about the Wizard compared to my last phone, a Sony Ericsson P910i. The T9 phonepad text entry program is a bit pants. It's partly because it uses the screen rather than dedicated buttons, but mainly because some of the features in most T9 phones aren't there (or maybe I just can't find them).
For example, I want to type "pet.". I begin by typing 738, which comes up initially as "set". I scroll across to "pet" and then type 1 for ".". However, the text jumps back to "set." instead of "pet.". This, frankly, is a pain in the ass.
So, in short, are there updated phonepads out there that are more intuative than the standard one? I've searched on this forum, but have only seen different skins, which only change the look, not the functionality.
Many thanks in advance for any advice, and once again, well done on such an informative forum.

Funny you should mention this. I ran across this earlier today...(I had alot of time to play around here today)
Check this out. http://free.tengo.net/ I have not installed it myself, but check out the demo, sounds pretty cool and might help you in your quest.
If you do install it please post your results so we all can evaluate.

I had actually downloaded that already. It's quite good, but it's for use with the stylus and doesn't work with one hand (the buttons are too small).
Give it a go if you write a lot with the stylus, but it's not what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.

Help me please!!!!

I would like to think I am pretty tech savvy, but for some odd reason I can not get any of these to work. I am trying to get dutty's newest one plus the touchflo cube to work on my phone, but I guess I just cant grasp the concept of getting it to work. I have an AT&T Tilt.
If someone could set something up and call me and walk me through doing this, then I will literally pay you to do it. Just send me a private message or email me to set something up.

P.s. I dont want people telling me to search the forum, and all that because I have searched to the end of this forum and back, and Downloaded several different files and I havent had no such luck.

Sent you a PM

Unfortunately, people like me are going to tell you to search.
However, you need to search in the Kaiser Upgrading forum. Check out this thread to get started. It will guide you to everywhere you need to look to be successful.
!!PLEASE DO NOT CREATE A NEW THREAD IN THE UPGRADING FORUM!!​
That will irritate a lot of people...

Hey, do u guys have the anserws to theese questions?
1. I want to choose for how long the green lamp, which indicates "new message/sms", shall blink. Now the option is "grey" and it's set to 5minutes. But you can't change the time. What should I do to set the time?
2. I've tried all the pre-installed keyboards that comes with the phone. But I'm not really happy with it. One must, is that it should contain the charachters "åäö" (a swedish keyboard).
3. Can I set the vibrator to a personal setting? Like now, if I get a sms/message, my phone only vibrate once. Which is really hard to notice, when I got it in my pocket. So can I somehow make it vibrate more?
4. And how do I get my "sms-wordlist" to work?! Everytime I add a diffrent word in my "sms-wordlist" it disappear a time later. Which is really enoying. How do I fix it?
Thx for answering!

Regarding a keyboard with Swedish layout, try FingerKeyboard
I use it with Danish layout but you can also have it with eg. Swedish layout.

nobody else? Plz, I need thoose answers!
otherwise I'm thinking of buying a new phone, because the sms-function is at my greatest use..

There have been posts elsewhere on the Forum on all the issues you raise - for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606212.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a thread very recently about changing the vibration settings - if I did a search, I'm sure I could find it in a couple of minutes. Someone's responded to your question about keyboards - and, on adding words to T9's dictionary, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557320&highlight=T9+words+adding might help.
Usually, for most of the niggling issues, there is either a simple setting change (which may involve adding/changing registry keys) or CABs that can be downloaded and tried. Take a look - there's a wealth of material here waiting to be searched!

thx so much i've tried to search on xda, but I kinda failed ^^
I'll try the links and come back with some respons

Right now, I've fixed the led-lamp, t9-wordlist and fingerboard. But I've tried to search xda for how to do your own custom vibration when receiving sms, and I've just found one... (can't post url:s yet) here is the topic "Vibration pattern for Incoming Calls, SMS and EMail "
but the "program" is pritty old and the developer doesn't write how to uninstall it if something goes wrong. So can you try to find something else, that might be better?
Edit:
Then I've found the names "SMS POPUP" and "DGAlert" but none of them is available for install/dwl at xda...

How to overcome the character limit in contacts notes field?

Sorry to post a similar thread to others that seem to have no solution.
I posted this very similar question when I moved to an S-III 4 years ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/character-limit-contacts-notes-field-t2440978
I dropped Samsung devices al along in favour of LG, but recently I got a Note 8 from my provider, just to discover that Samsiung keeps doing the same weird thing of limiting the number of displayed and editable characters in the contacts notes field.
In the long time gone era of Windows Mobile, it can be fixed in the registry (not a big deal), but I've found no way to do that in Samsung Devices (my S-III question thread explain how LG solution is different, and workable).
3th party programs are either limited or incomplete, and are not a real solution to this stupid limit. Furthermore, some are limited themselves by dessing in other áreas.
