I love (so far) my HTC Diamond but there is one pretty annoying problem. It seems I cannot get word suggestions while typing and this is for any keyboard type.
Any ideas?
Same problem in the IPAQ 614c
I am having the same problem on my IPAQ 614c. I installed this file to disable to XT9 option but it did not help. It may work for you. I would love to get an answer to my problem. Many thanks.
Jay
Could you please post a link to the discussion where this file is described?
Have you played around with the T9 settings?
Start/settings/input/ (check the word completion tab here and choose your options)
Go back to unput method tab
Have compact Qwerty in the window/Options/T9 settings
unfortunately this doesn't work.
keyboard
The best is TouchPal 3.0
correction, I'm speaking about default WM keyboard not about HTC one.
Ok, do you have a Word Completion tab in your input settings?
If so, which options have you chosen?
I have tick Suggest word when entering text
Suggest after entering 4 letters
Suggest 4 words
Tick in Add space after word
Tick in Enable Auto Correct.
I'm sorry, I was wrong, I just tried this out myself, and mine isn't working either. I've never used the normal keyboard before, as it's so small, but it seems like having the Touch keyboards stops that word suggestion happening in normal keyboard. My apologies.
There seems to be a solution to this problem here: PocketCM Keyboard. Good luck! I have tried it and it works great. Awesome!
This Should Work
I've read a lot about the HTC_IME keyboard on this forum and really want to install it on the G1, but I've read conflicting reports about it causing conflicts with the G1's physical keyboard. Is that true, or can some G1 owners confirm that the HTC virtual keyboard works without conflict?
NO i use it on cyanogen rom, first get the files needed onto your sd.Turn off android input in local, then use astro to install ime then the clicker.apk, finally goto settings->locale turn on new input setting, reboot.
I use it sometimes can be tricky to get in but it is some much better than stock.
it CAN cause conflicts, but they do work together well. i have an unthemed version of HTC_IME and i have them both turned on so that when the keyboard pops up, you see the android VK instead of the HTC_IME keyboard, and it still uses all the functions of the HTC_IME. (honestly i dont like the way the HTC_IME's keys look so cluttered with numbers and symbols, but i love the user-dictionary functions and such. )
Anyway right when i made the switch to donut i had a problem with it when i tried to calibrate the HTC_IME keyboard without having the clicker.apk installed, continuous loop of FC's of the HTC_IME and i had to go all the way back to cm-4.1.11.1 and then flash back to 4.1.99 THEN back to the latest to get everything back to normal again. but since then i havent had a single problem with it, and they both work perfectly together...

the only "conflict" i've had with HTC_IME and the physical keyboard was when i was typing on the physical keyboard, it made the sound it makes when i type on the VK. not sure that's really a conflict though.
The only problem I've encountered with the HTC IME on my G1 is that when I touch the screen with the keyboard open, the soft keyboard's suggestion thing comes up when I start typing again. It goes away once you close & open the physical keyboard, though.

Yup this and the one above is the "conflict" that is widely known. its more of an annoyance
Thanks all for the input. I've searched and read through a lot of threads on this forum about installing the HTC VK, but there seem to be a lot of different installation procedures out there.
What would be considered the safest/easiest procedure for someone who is a novice with modding Android?
I've modded phones before, but that was only flashing feature phones with generic unbranded firmware...I've never done anything with Android. In fact, I've never even plugged in my phone's USB cable. If someone could post or link to the best installation procedure for the HTC VK I'd appreciate it.
EDIT: I'm running the stock T-Mobile 1.6 ROM if that matters.
Download the files from this thread and use AppInstaller from the Market. I'm just going by what other ppl have said in that thread so I cant guarantee anything w/ that app, I used adb to install the IME on my phone.
*EDIT* Also, just found this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_install_HTC_Keyboard.

That does sound annoying. Does the conflict go away if you go to Settings and switch back to the Android keyboard? Or is the issue there whenever the HTC VK is installed?
Yes it can be annoying when suggestions pop up when using the physical keyboard w/ HTC IME, just don't tap text entry fields when using HTC IME, use the trackball instead. Probablem solved. Just install it. You can go to settings > Locale and switch to the google IME whenever you want.

Only when HTC IME is enabled.
I got it installed and it's working beautifully!
Thanks to HTC for creating it, and to Cyanogen for making it available!

ya this is what i do. i like having this vk over any other vk because its accurate.... i dont always wanna open my phone lol.
I'm actually not having that problem. My issue is a little different.
Even though I have auto spelling correction enabled for the device keyboard, auto correction isn't actually working. This has been the case ever since I installed and switched to the HTC virtual keyboard.
Does anyone know a fix for this, or is this one of those things I'll have to live with?
what rom are you using it on?
This is the stock T-Mobile 1.6 ROM.
I have a 1.5 Dream & no prob with HTC_IME! Just looking to go up to 1.6 now!
I'm having trouble pairing my keyboards with my phone. I know it didn't work in stock 2.1 ("paired but not connected"). I'm seeing the same in aospMod 0.9.9.2 ("paired but not connected"). Using my phone frequently today for calls to swap to GB (maybe this evening), but does anyone have any suggestions for connecting bluetooth keyboards?
Older 2009 threads pointed to an app in the market, but wondering if the recommendations are still the same. Specifically I'm trying to connect either a Logitech DiNovo, or a ThinkOutside Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard.
Thanks
Got it to work finally. Here's how you can do it:
Download BlueKeyboard JP from Android Market & Install
Under Settings > Input & Keyboard > check BlueKeyboard
Access bluekeyboard (right below the check one), pair up the keyboard
Go back once, choose the keyboard & layout.
Now, go into an app, long press > input method > bluekeyboard
You're set then Now if only we could put HID support in roms, or even Android native.
The CM6.x roms work with HID Keyboards natively.
I just switched from AOSP to BlackMod 6.2 rc1 for this very reason. I'm using a Stowaway Ultra-Slim. All of the programs I tried from the market failed to work for me.
The title says it all really. I'm still running stock, and find it's fine apart from the non-sticky shift key when using browsers. Do any of the Custom ROMs address this issue? I'm assuming that there isn't a fix for the stock ROM.
Cheers,
Steve.

The shift key functions normally on all the 4.2.2 ROMs I have tried. I found Eclipse to be hit and miss just like stock. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
shift key
the default software keyboard will mess with the hardware shift key, try using another one like jelly bean keyboard or hacker's keyboard.

It's all a bit frustrating. The shift key on the hardware keyboard works perfectly with SwiftKey on stock, but for me SwiftKey interferes with the keyboard function too much in other areas (such as automatically putting a space after a comma, which always catches me out, and showing suggestions).
TBH the 4.2.2 ROMS just look a tiny fraction away from being suitable as a daily driver for me - I use the lap dock, and that doesn't seem to be supported, as far as I could see.
If I could get SwiftKey to simply go into a "silent" mode with the hardware keyboard, then I'd be sorted. I don't want correction suggestions, or for it to try and mess with what I've physically typed, but although these suggestions have been made on their forum, it doesn't look like they are working to provide functionality like that - probably because there aren't many devices with a physical keyboard.
All the other keyboards I've tried (Swype, Jelly Bean, various "null" keyboards) all seem to suffer the shift key issue in browsers (the default keyboard seems to be intermittent, in that I've seen it working once or twice, but most of the time it seems to fail).
Cheers,
Steve.
I got a new Bluetooth keyboard and it will connect on both images, but I cant type on anything. It doesn't do anything when typing. I tried it on my phone with 6.0.1 and it works with no problem. I also tried to the Bluetooth keyboard fix app for 4.3 and up with the same results. I've look look through the threads and I cant find a similar issue.
Thank You
Update
I found an image which lets the keyboard work. A different user had similar problems and he refers to apple keyboard support been added to that image for the keyboard to work. I'm assuming that on the rest of the roms apple keyboard is not supported since I can connect my keyboard, but I cant type anything. Under Language & Input its registered as a Broadcom Bluetooth HID on this image.
This is the keyboard I'm using
Anker Bluetooth Ultra Slim-Keyboard
This is the rom that I'm currently using.
cm-10.1-20130712-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip
I first tried this image and it didn't work
cm-10.1.3-ovation_OC6
I have tried CM 12.1, 6.0.1 and the new 7.1.1 image with the same results as well.
