Hi,
Is there any app I can use on my xda2i that will allow me to enter SMS messages on the phone application keypad (or another similar screen keypad) - just like a regular GSM phone. I sometimes find it a right pain takin out the stylus to reply to an sms message.
I would like it if SMS could be send directly from the "phone" app keypad or another similarly styled keypad... you know press number 2 twice for 'B' etc.
Even the SPB fullscreen keyboard is a pain in this situation - just need the numbers and an enter button to enter the text into the messaging app so that you can select recipients or just press send if replying.
A version of spb that worked in portrait with just the number keys would be perfect
Any suggestions ?
Many thanks in advance.
malty.
well, ignore me i'm an idiot..
ive just found the phone pad option on the keyboard prefs and it does EXACTLY what i want
sorry for the waste of a thread !
cheers,
Kev

hi friends of the net,
help pleeeease.
when i go into go into calendar i get numbers come up and not letters when the key pad is closed, if i open phone to type on key padi can get the letters, if any numbers have been entered already the numbers do not delete and i have to press the home key and then go back to it again before it lets me write anything, this also happens in internet explorer! after this has happened if i try to access contacts via home page or via menus it does not let me access them.
also my i bar/cursor vanishis sometimes when i am in text messaging.
tried factory reset and it still happens, also had a new phome sent out and the new one does the same!!!! assume its software fault on many phones.
Can you vox owners try these out...
This is regarding my friends phone, member - Wezog. Ive taken a look at the phone and im just wondering if any of you guys out there have these problems?
1 - Make sure your phone is closed (qwerty keyboard is hidden away), using the right soft key or by going into the start menu select the calendar application.
Once in here start typing an appointment, do you find that you have numbers appearing instead of letters?
Its as tho you cannot type any appointments using the keypad, but you have to open up the e650 and use the qwerty keyboard to enter information.
Do you HTC owners get the same problem or is it just the Orange e650 owners, or is it just my friend being unlucky? (being his 2nd phone to do exactly the same thing - hes let orange know about this but apparently has to decide what he wants to do)
2 - Once youve tried the Calendar above, exit out of it and then try and select CONTACTS as tho you were going to call someone either by using the left soft key or by actually going into Contacts in the start menu.
Do you find that Contacts dont display and nothing comes up? My mate has to then soft reset his phone to get things back to normal again.
Thanks in advance for your help, its very appreciated.
Cheers

Frankly - actions like creating an appointment is why I chose a phone with a QWERTY keyboard after all
But for the sake of your test I tried to create an appointment on my closed Vox and it worked.
Pressing a pad key repeatedly scrolls through its lowercase letters + the number, starting with the first letter. The *-key switches between lowercase and uppercase.
Contacts open and work normally after closing the Calendar.
I have an unbranded HTC S710 with the original ROM.
The behaviour you describe is definitely weird. And it happens also after a "Clear Storage" / Hard Reset ?
for those who use on-screen keyboard on devices such as HTC Touch, the "send" button is very close to the lower side of the keyboard and it sometimes happen that I accidentally press "send" before I finish composing a message is there a way to either set a timer on the button (i.e. having to press it for 200 ms in order to send the message) ?
also, is there a way to delete all sent sms without emptying the inbox (apart from selecting all messages and pressing delete, of course...) ?

I don't think there is.. sorry. Its actually a pretty good idea cause I do that a lot too on my Tilt
ok to avoid this problem, i now use Pocket CM which is pretty good (except for a few bugs to be ironed out in next release), it requires a 250 ms "send"press
and by the way, if you want to empty only one of your sms folders ("sent" for exemple) without clearing the inbox, go get "inbox extender" at MoDaCo !
1. Scroll using touchflo to Messaging
2. select a message and choose MENU > REPLY from touch 3d screen.
3. Slide out keyboard and start typing
4. PROBLEM: it kicks me out of the text message and opens up into 'telus quick find' and continues typing what I started to type. (It boots me out of the text messaging application).
Anyone know why this is?
It shows my blinking cursor in the text messaging field.... just before it boots me out of the texting application.
Mine does this sometimes too, haven't found a cause and/or solution.
Another problem is that if I close the keyboard as soon as I press the send button, sometimes TF3D crashes.
I don't worry too much though, they only happen occasionally.

I have a similiar problem and I need to click the blinking cursor in the text field to "lock" it there. It went away after a hard-reset. Still do not understand why...
i think i can help
i had a similar problem today, my problem was it switched to landscape, in 1 second opens my dialpad then i have to close that and continue typing.
what solved my problem was installing a file called "RemoveSkcerts.cab" or something similar, sorry but i dont have it with me on my touch pro, hope this helps u out
When you hit reply, do you wait fully until the whole messaging screen pops up or do you do press reply, and immediately open up keyboard?
I used to have this problem until I realized that you should let the whole messaging screen come up.
keyboard closes
when I reply to e-mail or even SMS, when I hit the space bar (both in physical keyboard & SIP), the application CLOSES ! ! this just started happening.

Exact issue i have
Yep, mine's been doing the same for a couple of days now... Stock T-Mobile ROM UK... Only had it a month, so haven't researched enough to change anything much.
I hit reply for the text, slide out the keyboard. I start typing and about 3 words into the reply it closes the SMS window and goes back to the main screen. It's fairly annoying as bugs go.
I hope this helps you work it out.

Hi!
Post number 5 is correct.
When you hit reply, do you wait fully until the whole messaging screen pops up or do you do press reply, and immediately open up keyboard and start typing? This the cause.
I used to have this problem until I realized that you should let the whole messaging screen come up.
So let the messaging screen come up completely.
Hope this help.

tried this....i still have the same issue......tp inadvertently kicks out to either home screen, or in most cases the phone dialpad screen !!!!
i tried soft reset and then reply, then things are fine......mebbe this happns because the dialpad application does not really close properly???? although i don't really see it running in the background or anythin......the dialpad cannot run in the background......but this dos'nt explain why occasionally it kicks out to the home screen???
Hi friends
i noticed, each time if i want to send a message, i've to go to message-> selecting the account->and then new.
And what abt recently used numbers.. Each time have to select from contacts
I love this phone.. but why this phone lacks these basic stuffs
You can also start typing the number or the name (i.e 5->6->4->6 for John) on the home screen and switch left or right to SMS (txt) and then press the click on it, it will open the messaging app and you can start texting that person! Just a little tip
Otherwise look for AEButton which can assign a function to every hardware key!
Also, when you are in the messaging app and the "to" field is highlighted, just start typing the name, just like I told you above and a popup will open with all the possible names!

Thank you very much bro.........will try it now itslf
Hi everyone, i have some problems messaging with SMS stock app.
Often, when write something, if I click on the option button (for accessing smiles), the conversation go back to the first message, and the stock keyboard crash (only in landscape mode).
Additionally, when I press backspace, it came up with 'delete by selection' function...
Try Hard Reset, but without results...
It's by the way... a bug?
Or it's my Device?
Thanks a lot.
p.s. sorry for my bad english
i can't reproduce it on my device.
what do you mean by option button? it's on keyboard or you mean HW menu button?
yup, it's the HW button (to the left of home button).
This issues appear usually after I unlock the screen or after other operation.
Example:
Device screend locked -----> unlock -----> answer message ---> issues in landscape mode.
Example 2:
Playing with some game------->answer message (or write new one)---->issues in landscape
Not noticed any issues and had the phone for over a month but I don't use the phone in landscape mode ever so must be a landscape problem.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
is it software-related o HW-related?
What do you think?

and does it happen right after pressing menu key? or after selecting smiley to insert?
when i press menu key, keyboard is closed right away and menu is opened.
when pressing the button or when pressing the 'hide qwerty' button...
Not every time... like..
5 times over 10 tries.
I have just tried this and the first time I started a reply and typed some words then presses the option button then more then smileys I pressed back and the kb had gone and it took me to the first msg in my conversation. Have tried it several times since but could not replicate it.
I don't use the stock sms app, I use handcent sms and have no issues
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
you hit the spot, is that problem!
Is it a bug? Hope that it will fix soon...
Handcent is good like stock app?
does changing another ruu help?
I have this problem! I find if I press backspace too many times while in landscape mode, say after I mess up a word typing that it won't autocorrect, it takes me to this delete message menu. Going to install a better messaging app.
RUU= Rom Upgrade Utility?
@ridley1000
The same problem here, then i believe that is a problem with gingerbread+stock sms app.
