Hi guys, got an annoying 'problem' when I text. Basically for example if I am texting words (I have predictive texts on & use the traditional keypad layout, because I am old school like that), words like 'less' will automatically choose a name from my phonebook like Jess - is there a way to stop it from picking out my phonebook names as word suggestions? It's so irritating!
Plus, I also have another weird problem where some of the letters do not show up when I am typing so I can't even just press a single letter unless predictive text is off? This issue happens on & off randomly & I don't know why..
Example: I want to text this smiley =P
But when I have typed in = and want to type in P next, that letter doesn't show, instead it only shows R Q 7.. Therefore I will have to type in a word like Pet & then erase the 'et' from it!
What's going on? Does it make sense to anybody?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Then u will have what u want.
quick fix (un-check)
word suggestion ( 3rd: i never want to have...)
Thanks for the suggestion, however it still doesn't solve both issues
Never had any issues on my Neo so don't know if it's a bug or not on the Z regarding the last issue?

i don have this problem with keyboard !! can you send screen-shot?
View attachment 1812024
The P doesn't show up, & this happens with some other letters as well. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't done anything differently to my text settings or anything either? But even then those settings doesn't seem to affect this problem
Anybody else know? Sorry to bump it, No one will see this on page 2
Works fine in all the layouts. Try factory reset.

Try also with an alternative keyboard, like Smart keyboard pro

When I install the keypad I get something really weird and unwanted when I want to write a new text message.
Without the keyboard installed I can write the first couple of letters of a contact and it will give me a list of contacts that match that set of letters. however once the touch keyboard is installed I just get its own autocomplete kick in... even when I submit the letters the contact popup doesn't come up?
Does anyone know a way of keeping the contact functionality and the keyboard at the same time?
I've tried disabling XT9 reg file in one of duttys threads, still no joy
Yeah the exact same thing happened on mine and unfortunatley i couldnt find a solution either and eneded up removing it from the device, this being a real shame cause it was very useful specially for texting one handed.
A part solution is to send new text, use touch keyboard to enter first couple letters like you would before then menu / check names it should then bring up a list of ones that partially match, bit long winded though.
Anyone else found a solution to this?
Anyone found a solution to this? I'd love to be able to use the htc pad...!
can anyone recommend a better input thing that will preserve the mentioned function?
I just press the 'to ' text yo the left and use the list , tis fairly fast -- but now I must go as my battery is almost dead!
Its quicker to just to press a letter
Can't anyone think of a fix!!?
Can I just use the sip file or something from the cab?
I've found a cab to disable the XT9 and it means that you can press a letter and it will come up with contacts matching the letter... however it messes up the touch keypad and board.. they both just display all the letters and numbers. :/
so, where is the cab file then ?
Hmmm I think i saw the cab file somewhere
Okay ladies and gents, I have searched and searched and can't seem to find my answer. I am sure one of you smart lads can give me a response in 4 seconds.
The keyboard and keypad work great on my Tilt but I have two issues:
1) I've noticed the screen shots include a tool bar above the keyboard with options for BOLD, UNDERLINED text, ect. I do not have that. What can I do?
2) My xt9 works fine but if I want to create a new text msg, the drop box of contacts no longer appears. This is quite hard to explain but before xt9, if I inputted the letter "J," a drop box of about 7-8 contacts will show up to with names starting with J; sort of like a quick list. The more letters I inputted, the more specific of results the drop box displays. Even if I am in ABC mode, this feature is no more. Would I have to kill Xt9 via registry to revive this feature?
Thanks in advance.

I too have this similar issue
I am unable to type anything in the to: field cause of Xt9
but after uninstalling of the touch keyboard it works again
yeah, I figured it is software conflict with xt9 - you can have one or the other kinda thing. I think I rather have the xT9 than the quick list. I will just have to press one extra key (return) for every contact included.

thanks that did the trick !!!
the only annoying feature
NO SPACE after clicking a predicted word !! grrrr
anyway to overcome that ?
Ok, im really frustrated by certain things on the diamond, so much so im thinking of selling the diamond....
I love most of the features but a few things really annoy me...such as:
Why when a call connects, does the screen switch off?? This is really annoying when your listening to voicemail, for obvious reasons...
Secondly, i CANNOT switch my input type from FULL QWERTY, i change it, and then when i go back into INPUT, its FULL QWERTY again...why?
Thirdly, when entering a text, i dont want to view a full convo, and the last word of the text remains in the predict part, meaning when you click close, it asks if you want to save to drafts?
If im being stupid, then someone please explain....if not, can anyone assist? Please?
all of your problems have simple quick fixes and have been asked a million times by other people! i dont mean to be rude but please search the forum!
most of you problems can be solved with this one page thats always at the top of the diamond page!!

and look here for your input problem

took me 2 seconds to find the thread
SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and to asnwer your question, the light sensor turns the display off when you put the phone to your head, its a kind of safty feature so that you dont press any on screen buttons with your face.
i like the feature, but like many others like you dont, its on the first forum link ive just given you as is the fix to disable the sms chat interface
I did try search but came up blank....The above isnt really a solution, more of a workaround, i want the phone to function as it should, i.e be able to change the input type via settings....
Thanks a lot for your other assistance though Keyz...
you change your input option from the touch flo 3d interface, NOT the settings page on WM.
go into a new text message, and press the little keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen
im not using the TF3D interface though....using WM.....
you have TF3D turnd off?
Yes, but i have switched it back on to see if i change my mind about it...
I still cant get the screen light sensor thing to work....weird...
Does anyone else have the following problem ?:
When you go to the SMS tab, and press the small box to start writing new SMS, if you use the original Diamond keyboard, you can just type a few letters of your contact and it will fully appear. If you use TouchPal (I'm using version 3.5), this feature is disabled, you have to type your entire contact name every time, it doesn't recognize the first few letters and try to find a match. This is SO annoying !
Please tell me there is some workaround...
Could it be that the Diamond's original keyboard stores all the contact information in the Keyboard dictionary ?, if this is true, it means no keyboard apart from Diamond's original will allow quick find of contacts in SMS...
no problem with me..
say for eg you wanna call "home"
just press H O and enter and then it will detect home in my contact.
i suspect the problem may be.. touchpal "store" what you pressed in its own list instead of going up to the SMS directly..
Same problem. Would love to see an solution, but I think there is none...
Wizard,
Do you have the Touchpal keyboard ???
its free for personal use available online..
The contacts don't display when you start typing, but if you only type a few letters and then press send a page appears with all contacts that have the letters you've typed in their names. You can then tap the contact you wish to send to.
I don't find it a problem.

totally agree.. we're learn by mistake
just in case you guys are still experiencing this problem, i found a fix at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=241036
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\Ime File
set the Ime File value from \windows\eT9ime.dll to compime.dll
soft reset device.
yea i think touchpal has alot of problems. liek the new v3.5 when i ever type in the word "its" or "were" in my sprint diamond, phone restarts wtf and same thing in the htc mogul.
Anyone have this issue to or a fix to it?
Has anyone noticed that since HTC removed and replaced the phone pad and XT9 when you go to choose one single letter when typing then go to choose another single letter, it automatically adds a space in between the letters now?
Example: e y
I can't find a setting for auto spacing anywhere either. Do you think it's an error in the way they took it out then replaced it? I've never had this issue before the update.
I'm including an annotated screenshot of this page to help explain a little better what I mean.

Hey man, I am having the exact same issue as you... It's fine for people who use QWERTY keyboard as you select each individual letter yourself... Where as when you use the phone keypad you have to select them with the prediction, of course it then thinks you've entered a word and adds the space... If anyone knows a fix for this that'd be great!! I am even willing to try and edit the HTC_IME if someone can tell me where this setting might be stored.
I am also running into HTCs famous dictionary losing words like "am" "go" "in" etc... Yes it took me a hell of a long time to type this message on my phone...
