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.

Those two softkeys on the sliding keyboard... they're always getting hit when I'm typing, often sending half-finished messages and attempting to call/delete contacts.
Is there ANY way to disable them?
I wouldnt go as far as to disable them, but I do find them quite frustrating at times, HTC should've seperated the softkeys from the rest of the keyboard.
I would also like to know if this is possible. They are annoying .
I would imagine that if you would disable them you would have to disable the softkeys period. But i would like that them to get out of my way too
tiny screwdriver + leverage?
lol, might need a knife to cut the keyboard rubber too
wonder if the could be remapped rather then disabled
you know duprade's herald/wing keyboard fix? Maybe you could use that software to remap the softkeys, assuming it allows you to do so.
I think the hardware keyboard soft keys and the external softkeys are the same input... so if you tried to change them, it would disable/change both sets.
Use AEButton Plus to disable the keyboard SoftKeys
AEButton Plus will do this. I have mine set so that a single press does nothing, but a double press does what it would normally do. Onscreen buttons still work as expected. Works great.

Hahahaha. Yeah, I freaking hate that.
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".
hi how is everyoone? hope you are well. I was wondering if anyonoe has been able to obtain the keyboard layout that comes wtih the touch for the kaiser? My friend has a verizon vogue and the keyboard options are amazing. it has a transcriber thatr recognizes free hand writing and also a block recognizer likt the palms had back in the day. any help would be appreciated. sometimes i wanna just use the stylus to make a quick note in Word, but dont have that option
check the input method. you should be able to change it to the other options. transcriber and block recognizer have been around for a while and aren't anything new.
If you open up a program that is expecting input from the user, it should at least display the little keyboard 'button' at the bottom middle section of the screen (unless you have the physical keyboard open). On the right side of that keyboard 'button' is a triangle. Click the triangle and you'll have other input options such as transcriber.
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.
I need a keyboard that doesnt have the backspace in the lower right corner. I need to place it somewhere else. I'm always hitting it so it deletes letters while I'm typing. Drives me crazy!

The backspace being at a different location might be a pipe dream.
Alternative suggestion: maybe try swiftkey keyboard and make it bigger trough the settings, once the buttons are bigger it would be easier not to press the backspace. Also selecting a more contrasted theme and enabling a bit of haptic feedback vibration might somewhat make your life easier.
Good luck.

Download GoodLock from Galaxy Store. Then install Keys Cafe module from inside GoodLock.
It allows you to make a custom keyboard.
I have just used it for customising keys and effects but this may solve your problem.
Why don't you try it out? It's free.
