Hi guys....
I've recently tried to "swipe" my stylus over words tha tI have typed but instead of the wrods being hightlighted.... this arrow comes up which then causes my words to be "MOVED" to the end of the tip of the arrow... something like a MOVE function...
Had to soft reset my XDA Mini before I could highlight my words again...
What's the arrow doing and how did I activate it?
what type of keyboard you are using?
this seems really weird!
I tried to do the same on my XDA, but nothing happened! no arrows appeared or anything! :?
don't know if it's the same arrow, but this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...=0&postorder=asc&highlight=arrow+pzp&start=25
said it has something to do PZP , but is already solved in the current version

When I type something on my text messages there is a screw up.
EX: If I text "i am going to store" and i dont hit space after store it sends the message but keeps the "store" in the message and if i hit send it will send "store" again by itself... I have to hit space since it recommends something and unless i hit the word it wont go away...
any suggestions?
Adding puntuation afterwards should clear it up, or tapping on the word, or maybe even hitting enter (although I don't know if that works!)

Thanks for the advice.
When I want to text and its quick I dont always use proper punctuation.
I really hope this windows device works out :/

If this is what I think it is, bring up one of the HTC keyboards and turn the switch on the ABC/T9 button onto ABC. That should disable it.
Yes, it is the most idiotic typing "aid" ever invented.
Turned off auto complete and auto suggest and still doesnt work!!! Did a soft reset! This is so stupid!
I will try the T9 thing.
T9 WORKED!!!
thank heaven!!
thanks allot guys
this has been driving me mad. i tried turning off word completion etc and that didnt help but this seems to have, thanks
yes it definitely fixed it for me. Great that was driving me mad.
Yes Kill xT9 Or Hit a Space at the end of every text.

Turning off T9 did not help at all. I still get the black line at the bottom of the screen. The f*#$%#% thing still wants to suggest some very useful words for me! Any other ideas?
Did you follow the steps?
When you start typing a new sms bring out the virtual onscreen keyboard, press the arrow and choose Full QWERTY. In full QWERTY mode you should have a little button on the bottom left of the screen with "ABC T9" written on it. Press it and let the magic work.
Now press fn + Space and a menu appears. Check that it is indeed in ABC mode. If you want to be on the safe side go also into "T9 Settings" (on that menu) and kill (untick) everything. Or at least that's what I did.
Excellent, thanks. The black bottom bar from SMS editing was very annoying. Now it's gone, thanks.
New SMS message, FN+ Space and then check ABC.
Thx!
Thx! You were right. In fact FN + Space then choosing ABC instead of English really does work. That #$%#$% annoying black thing disappeared! Thx!

Knew I'd find the answer to my problem here on XDA-devs! Just did a HR and somehow the ABC/T9 slider got into the T9 setting, causing all types of problems when typing. Thanks for the tip and now I'll know for next time!!!
i would actually like that, how do i get my phone to do that? i can make it happed when i switch from ABC to T9, but after sometime it switches back to ABS
Hey fellow XDA-ers.
I hope that in this thread we can unite in finding a solution for the annoying t9 input mehod, without breaking the hardware keyboard.
What's the problem:
I want to get rid of the annoying black t9 input and autocomplete bar, and use the standard WM6.1 version.
What anoys me the most is when you type an address for sending text, you start by typing first name of for instance friends who share a first name, but have different last names, , as soon as you hit space for the lastname, the person with the first name that's on top of the list gets selected..ARG
I also hate the lag it introduces.
So getting rid of the black ezinput part of the keyboard.
This can be done by replacing the eT9 values in your registry at the layout to COMP (et9IME replace by compIME and so on) and this works for soft keyboard.
However, this "fix" breaks some stuff in your hardware keyboard (the SYM key for instance stops working, also you cannot get the euro sign or the pund sign by pressing fn E or fn W)
I of course want the best of both worlds, and especially miss the sym button for getting a "\" whilst typing in shortcuts
So, I have tried so much, but haven't found a solution yet.
Does anybody know how to get this "best of both worlds" option?
Does opening up the on-screen keyboard and hitting the T9 --> ABC switch help?
nope
It doesn't use autocomplete then when typing text, but you still get the black bar at the bottom whilst entering an address, and the space-issue (filling in word after space) is introduced.
I just want the behaviour as when eT9 replaced by comp (ei. you get a couple of suggestion in your screen in light grey boxes, in stead of on bottom bar in black) but with FULL use of my hardware keyboard.
I want to do this without installing all kinds of secondary software that slows my device down, but want to solve it at the root.
Hope I am explaining the problem clearly
But thanks for the reply..
Maybe we can figure it out..
known problem
I've done the t9 compIME registry change and to me, is a must. That black bar was SO annoying and decreased effectiveness.
I have noticed the hardware keyboard does get screwy after doing this.
Using Da_G's roms, he has solved most of the problems in some of his earlier roms. I think the only problem I have currently is a non-working "cent" sign (FN+_). I'll test this again after I flash to his latest Rom.
I think he solves this by implementing SOME of the t9 files. I'll follow up with more accurate results.

If that's the case, making a cab, or posting the necesary files to replace would be ideal.
Does your SYM key work?
sounds like a very good start
I had this same annoying error
I managed to get it to go away by
sliding out the keyboard
whilst pressing the green FN button hit the spacebar.
This brings up a small menu, select
ABC and bingo, its sorted.

Tnx for your input Steve.
I allready have that set up, but as you will find, it does not get rid of the black bar during txt msgs to field input, if you know what I mean.
It also gives lag on the hardware keyboard input comapred to the comp ide input method, which I find anoying.
What I really want is just the old wm input and auto complete feature without breaking my keyboard.
but as said before, thanks for the input.
This way we can narrow it down and hopefully make the problem easier to understand.
Ta...
tried editing sym files
Tried editing and replacing the txt files in windows directory,
eT9.Raphael.0409.kmap.txt and eT9DeadKeys.txt and renamint the et9 to comp, no luck.
Anybody any suggestions?

I did that and the black bar is gone! No more annoying auto-capitalizing and duplicated words! Thanks a lot!
Not quite

It get's rid of the black bar whilst typing a text, however whilst typing an adress in the to field, you will notice that you still get a black bar and proposed name in the bottom of your screen.
This is actually eT9 still running, and slowing down your input, trust me on this
The "old" way, you'd get the proposed names next to your to field, in a light grey box, and you could scroll through them and use the space bar without getting it to autocomplete.
I normally type the first few letters of the persons name, and then use the left and right arrow keys to gp through the matching contacts. That does the trick for me
indeed

It does the trick and it is how I use it now.
It's just not the solution I am looking for.
I'm a bit wierd in that way, if I see it poping up, I know it's there and it just annoys me...
Don't you just love the way things were before
But thanks for the tip.
No luck here yet
I haven't had any luck yet, anybody else?
This issue is really starting to bug me
Any luck yet with removing the T9 Black bar? I am having this problem as well.
Me too!
i want the old way with the little grey box, it was so much better. It gave a number of people when you typed in a user name for sms and it also gave better autocomplete options.
Solve for all us
Try attached CAB guys from our famous Russian PDA professional. It's remove this bar completely.
yes it worked for me on Touch HD perfectly
Works

TY it completely rocks on Touch HD.
Does this just disable T9 on the hardware keyboard? AND, when entering a contact into sms or email you get the grey list like before?
What about T9 for soft keypad/boards? How does it function now?
I stumbled upon your thread while searching for "disable t9 hardware keyboard".
I have the same problem on my Kaiser... Installed ezinput keypad/board and now have that 'damn' black bar. I'm getting used to it like 'GaZ' but dont really like it...
<<<UPDATE: Only selected abc over t9. Black bar still there.>>>>
use different sip
im not sure if this help but wasnt this issue introduced with the diamond sip set? maybe using different sips might get rid of it. or maybe replacing the new eT9 and using the old wm6 t9 instead in wm6.1 roms. just a thought
Hi,
I am just new to this pocket PC phone (just the old HTC Touch) and i tried out installing an IP Phone Keyboard program. When I wasnt happy about it, i uninstalled it but it messed up my SIP. The default standard input keyboard now is cut at the bottom (meaning i dont see the entire last row of Ctrl, space bar, etc.) but there's a black row appearing at the top of the input keyboard. It looks like the input keyboard was dragged down. Worse, the suggested words now appear at the bottom of the screen (where your normal Send or Cancel buttons are).
I really would appreciate your advise and help in getting this resolved. Dont know where to run to or whom to raise this to.
Thank you and looking forward to your response.

Restart your PPC. After that go to settings--> input---> select default input keyboard and try.
Hope it will help.
Are you using the default keyboard?
You can install any other SIP and it should work fine even if the default keyboard's having problems.
You can also hard reset incase you don't manage anything else.
I'm not aware of a bug concerning the default keyboard showing wrong except for something which goes away after a soft reset.
Thanks very much for your responses. Unfortunately, I did all that (set keyboard as default, try installing another keyboard software, soft reset and hard reset) but the problem still persists. I am almost in the vicinity of regretting why i had this PPC.
can you specify exactly which app caused this problem?
Hi,
I'm on a Topaz with WinMo 6.5 Hebrew enabled but English interface.
Lately the number keys in the phone application are shifted one row down. I mean' when I press a number, the phone thinks I pressed the number one row below that. (i.e. If I press the place showing 5, an 8 will be dialed)
Oddly the "TALK" button and the "backspace" arrow button next to it do function normally, as does the whole screen in any other application.
My verbal explanation is not so clear, so please see the attachment. A screenshot with explanatory text.
Any idea what could have caused this? or how to fix it?
I was thinking about removing and re-installing the phone application, but don;t know how to do that, so any help in that direction would also be welcome.
Thanks!
~Azaria.
What is the right forum for this question?
It really bothers me, so really want to solve it.
I imagine i have missed something simple, but since i have had my Moto G back the keyboard is different,
I'm missing the long press options for punctuation, the numbers are there but nothing else ?
The phone updated to latest after i got it back , factory reset then installing bits again but then noticed keyboard and cannot find options for this.
I have always used these long press keys and never installed anything extra or changed any settings so this is confusing, i have another 4.4.2 device and they are there on that too.
Has this been removed on Moto G now ? if so any suggestions for free replacement keyboard with long press punctuation ?
They are there, but they aren't indicated anymore. They seem to be grouped together like the bracket symbols. If they can be long pressed, when you long press them there will be "..." in the bottom right corner. I think you can reduce the delay before they show in the settings for the keyboard somewhere.
almost , but i got it now.
I was trying them anyway and they dont work , like for example i think 'K' was for ? , but it does nothing.
The point on the dots ... was spot on though , any key with options has them at bottom right - all your basic punctuation is under the full stop key . , hold it down and you can select .?!:",# which is actually better, just have to get used to it.
I guess this change came with the latest moto g firmware, i cant see anything on change log though.... https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/98313/action/auth
Thanks for the hint eastdata.
No worries.
I'm trying to wrap it around my head too. I couldn't find the "<>" symbols.
Thanks for the link, I didn't realize that the OTA was a free download.
