The T9 input method of ASUS P525 doesn't work with HTML forms. When trying to fill a fields in HTML form, I can only key in digits using T9. Pressing '*' key won't bring up the input options as it normally does.
I also notice similar problem in "My Information" screen. T9 works properly on the name, company and address field, but I can only enter digits in the email field using T9.
Do you have the same issue? Is this a bug of P525's T9? Thanks for help.
many people have the same issue
Yeah I suspect I get that same problem too when entering any password, you know, the sort where everything you typed/keyed in appears as a "*" on the screen.
Every time I use T9 for that, no word list pops up, so I think T9 is working in number pad mode.

I recently flashed my SPV E650 with a HTC rom (HTC_Vox_ARA_1.27.415.4_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.exe) and almost everything's peachier than it previously was with the ancient Orange ROM which was full of awful bugs. I have one minor problem however, I cannot input text! When I try to input text (browser, text message, contact name) via both the numeric keypad or the qwerty keyboard I just this oblong character, like a square O basically. I've seen this character before but only in code ie when you open a non text file in a text editor, a JPEG for example. I can get numbers just fine, both from the numeric pad from the keyboard, and I can get characters such as !,.& etc (I need to hold the function key to get these) from the qwerty, but alas no letters at all.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
While writing SMS, push and hold "*" button, and choose "ABC" mode or change language.
Aha! You are a star, thank you intensely. The input was in Arabic, the old regional settings trick at work has back fired on me, stupid boy! Thanks again matrix
I have the problem that one of the three Danish letters is placed at the beginning of the word it is in. The other two Danish characters work fine. Maybe these Danish characters don't display right everywhere, so all through this text let's pretend it is the 'o' that doesn't work.
A sentence like 'Looking forward to solving the problem.'
becomes: 'ooLking ofrward ot oslving the oprblem.'
Not exactly expedient for meaningful communication, right!
The flow of it, letter by letter, while writing is this:
In Danish "blot" means "blue".
When tapping "bl" the two letters are displayed in the black bar and in the application.
When tapping the "o" the black bar displays "bl" and the application "o".
When tapping the "t" the black bar displays "blt" and the application "oblt". "blt" is hightlighted/selected in the application, the "o" is not.
I tried with English and Danish regional settings: Doesn't make a difference.
I would like to try it without that black bar - but I can't turn it off. I turned off all "writting help" in Settings/Input/Keyboard/Word Completion but it didn't make it go away. I really don't know what the black bar is for, cause it does not complete or suggest any words (not in Danish and not in English). Tapping the "x" on the bar only brings out a "Add My Word" label. Since I don't know what to call this black bar, please see attachment. If anybody can tell me what it is called or what it is for, I'd be glad - hard to surf for issues relating to it when I don't know what it is called :-(
Clearly, there's a bug somewhere. But I can't tell if it is in Microsoft software or in HTC software.
Facts are:
O/S: English Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1623 (build 18129.0.4.5)
ROM: 1.25.405.1 WWE (date 12/11/07)
Radio version: 1.58-21-23
Protocol version: 25.65.30.04H
What I'm trying to figure out is who has the bug?
I reported to Microsoft, who said it was a localization thing. On the HTC homepage it was not possible to select HTC Cruise P3650 in the list, but I reported to HTC anyhow, making clear in the description that it is a Cruise and so far they have only responded by asking customer info of which they had the major part from the entry on the homepage already, seems like they're just stalling me.
I want to pursue the problem to have it solved but I have to pursue it the right place.
Can anybody make out who has the bug?
If it's the keyboard, I guess it's Microsoft, right?
If it's the black bar, is it HTC?
Late breaking news
Ok, so I'm talking to myself ... but who knows - if someone else experience something like or is equally confused about input settings, perhaps this might help them, too.
I have tried to find out more about the "black bar" and come to realize these "late breaking news":
Options/Settings relating to the Keyboard (Keyboard/Word Completion tab) has no effect on anything.
The black bar is related to the Touch Keyboard and appears even if the Touch keyboard is not the selected input method and even if word completion (and all other "typing assistance" functions) is turned off for the Touch Keyboard.
Turning on Word Completion in Options/XT9 Settings for the Touch Keyboard also affects typing with the Keyboard.
Thus, turning on Word Completion for the Touch Keyboard and using the Keyboard as input method, word completion actually works and it is possible to add words - even words containing the two (out of three) Danish characters that work.
So, word completion as such works (allthough it seems that the settings and effects of these settings are kind of mixed up and criss-crossing between the various input methods) but the one Danish character still does not work - it is still placed at the beginning of the word it is in, as described in the first post.
Keyboard bug narrowed down
Entering Options for input sets Touch Keyboard back to XT9 - no matter whether it is the active input method or not and no matter whether any changes is made in the Options tabs.
Settings on the Options/Word Completion tab have no effects - no matter whether HTC Keyboard is set to XT9 or abc.
Setting the Touch Keyboard to abc disables the black word completion bar for both the Touch Keyboard and the Keyboard - also if Word Completion is selected on the Options/Word Completion tab.
With Touch Keyboard set to abc, and thus no word completion, the third Danish letter works without problems on the Keyboard.
With Touch Keyboard set to XT9 typing the third Danish letter does not work on the Keyboard.
Typing with the Keyboard while the Touch Keyboard is set to abc (third letter working) adds words with the third letter to the dictionary. Turning the XT9 on the Touch Keyboard back on and using the Keyboard, 'Word Completion' and 'Next Word Prediction' works also for words containing the third Danish letter saved in the dictionary while Touch Keyboard was set to abc.
In other words, it is not the letter as such, but the typing of the letter with XT9 activated, that is the problem.
However, I would like to stress that it is completely impossible to work-around the bug by entering all words in all occurrences with the third Danish letter in the dictionary - there are too many and it would make cleaning up the dictionary impossible.
I think I have now narrowed down the error as much as I possibly could, hoping it will be easy for HTC to correct it so that the letter works with word completion - not least since two out three Danish letters are already working well.
Facts on the Touch Keyboard: Touch Keyboard for Pocket PC Version 1.0 (Build 29567)
I have mailed the findings to HTC, hoping for a speedy answer and patch.
Am I the only one, who thinks the functionality-mix between the keyboard is confusing?
Is it possible to disable that black bar?
I have found that the keyboard is hard to trouble shoot. That is all I can say.. lol.
Black bar
Yes, it is possible to disable the black bar: Select the Touch Keyboard and tap the XT9 button so it becomes 'abc'.
Now the black bar is gone - also for the standard keyboard.
The XT9/Touch Keyboard has been programmed so it interfers with other keyboards, for instance it is not possible to select 'word completion' for the standard keyboard without having XT9 turned on on the Touch Keyboard.
I'd say HTC made quite a mess of it.
Just curious: have you tried TouchPal keyboard? I had a previous touch device that only had the simple keyboard, so I started using that and I like it so much that I haven't bothered to even try the new HTC keyboards.
I'm not sure if it would solve your problem, but it may be worth a try.
(you'd have to pay for the dutch version, but it sounds like it would be money well spent )
http://www.cootek.com/
No, I haven't tried TouchPal keyboard.
I also had a previous device which came with just the ordinary keyboard (which worked fine, by the way). I installed HTC Touch Phone Pad International on it to also have a more sms-friendly keyboard. This also worked fine. The functionality of the two keyboards were seperate back then.
But my current phone came pre-installed with HTC Touch Keyboard - it does not even appear in Options/Remove Programs (probably also for the best, cause I have this nagging feeling it would spoil more than "itself" if it were uninstalled since it is so mixed up with the functionality of other keyboards).
So, with a total of five preinstalled keyboards, I don't feel like getting any more ;-) and while HTC is looking into the problem I think I'll leave the phone as is until they find a solution at least.
But thanks for the tip!
I've tried every possible trivk and hack, nothing worked! Soft keyboard is not activating "Auto Complete" in any way. I only experience the T9 auto completion but not the usual keyboard.
Is there a bug with T9 or some kinda conflict?
as already been here once and also in the diamond forum, There is no standard auto complete on the handset. The settings are there, cos they are built in to windows mobile, but no dictionary has been added.
the only word completion is using t9!
Hi,
a question about text messages.
Can anyone tell how I automatically get the mobile number in the "to" line? Is it "to" in the English version? In the German it is "an".
I hope you understand what I mean.
In my Vario II I just hit a key and from the contacts the number is automatically filled into the line.
Whatever I tried so far I am not able to do the same in the Raphael.
Thanks for your help.
S.
Just start typing the name of your desired contact, and WM will suggest? Then choose and voila, number is there.
autocomplete for soft keyboard/block recognizer is disabled due to t9. in order to use, you must disable t9.
to disable t9, use something like Advanced Config tool or KaiserTweak or something similar. On the list, look for xt9, and disable and exit. Power off phone and after soft reset, your autocomplete will show when writing some text.
I guess this was a typical solution...

Hey everyone,
If I have Opera open on my HTC Touch Pro with the hardware keyboard slid out, it still shows the onscreen keyboard (and it's annoying having to keep closing it all the time). Any idea how to fix this?
I too would like to know the solution for this. I have a feeling that this is kind of a feature from Opera and can't be disabled but it's very annoying for users with hardware keyboard.
I have this issue on my kaiser too

Actually, it's not Opera. It's Raphael itself. HTC should have made it in such a way that if the keyboard is out, the SIP should not be displayed.
To prove that it is not Opera, try creating a new SMS. Do this in portrait mode first. Try hiding the SIP and change field (To or Message). You'll see that the SIP is displayed every time you change field. Now slide out the keyboard. Try changing field and you'll see that the SIP is also displayed.
As far as I understand (from another post somwhere on the forum) it's not technically a bug...
It's a requirement of Windows mobile that the SIP is deployed whenever text is entered into a field. Seems rather daft when you have a hardware keyboard on your phone though...
I've had that registry tweak above work for me, the same tweak is implemented in Advanced Config 3.3 as well. There's another fix that *should* work throughout Windows Mobile, for text fields.
It's called nullkb, and installs an option into the SIP menu that gives you a null keyboard option, and any attempt to bring up the SIP brings up nothing. I installed it, and it appeared to work, but after a reset, it defaulted back to the normal keybaord, so you have to select the null keyboard everytime you reset the device.
I'd love to find a way to simply disable auto deployment of the SIP in ALL circumstances. NullKB forces you to go into the SIP menu and select another keyboard should you want to use symbols, for example. The registry fix only seems to (sometimes) work for opera.
I just want the SIP to stay hidden until I want it, and a single click on the keyboard icon should bring the selected keyboard up.
I have no idea how to go around getting this working, I'm more of an end user than a developer...
e: there's also this reg key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip\AllowChange=1
Change that to 0 and it disables the SIP entirely. I'm thinking this fix and judicious use of PQzII (once I figure out how the hell to set it up...) to set up hardware keys for lots of symbols (where the hell is "\" on the keyboard? On a WM phone I would've thought a \ key would be mandatory...) might be the way forward, though it's a fair amount of work to get everything set up.

Doesn't work on my CDMA Touch Pro That regedit makes the keyboard appear on screen all the time, with no way to minimize it.
it is a bug in opera...
it is well documented as one
you can see if you disable autodeploy of keybaord (use advanced config) and youll see it still appears in opera. the only work around is to download nullkb and select it as your input while using opera
I had the problem with nullkb that it wouldn't stay as the default SIP after a soft reset. Loading PQzII and setting a link to PQzII in the startup folder fixed this, as within PQzII you can select which SIP should be displayed in portrait *and* landscape individually.
This still means a couple of clicks to get a keyboard up in landscape for entering symbols, but if in portrait the SIP will display normally.
I still can't get the "\" to work properly through PQzII though... it displays odd characters whenever I enter it into any of the PQzII configuration options. I suspect \ is used extensively in the code or something, and this messes up what's going on inside PQzII.
Found this cause I was having same problem...passing it along
To fix the Word Completion function on my Sprint HTC Touch Pro. It turns out the problem has to do with the installation of the new Full QWERTY keyboard that came with the ROM upgrade. My Word Completion was not working in Block Recognizer, the original Keyboard or the Letter Recognizer UNTIL I did this simple fix.. Here is how to do it:
* After confirming that you have the box checked for "Suggest words when entering text" in the Word Completion tab found in Settings>Input.
* Open up a new email or text message.
* Go to the bottom of the screen and change your letter input method to Full QWERTY (using the down arrow next to the "pencil", "keyboard" , etc. icon).
* In the bottom left hand corner of this Full QWERTY keyboard, just to the right of CAPS/shift button, is a button to toggle between T9 and ABC.
* Click the button and make sure that T9 appears below ABC. Apparently the opposite appears as a default setting.
* Switch back to Block Recognizer, Keyboard or Letter Recognizer and Word Completion should be active for you!
when using the keyboard this is not working . . .
Doesn't work for me either
I can't even get T9 to work with the full QWERTY keyboard...
If you install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2914474&postcount=8
Then you can get the old fashion word completion back on your Touch pro BUT it only works for the regular keyboards (not the new Touch Pro or Compact QWERTY Keyboard) Happy tappy would work with this. You need yo soft reset after installing this.
It will put you back on the old format with the old dictionary and auto complete and auto correct...but no more pretty keyboard...
What about auto complete with the harware keyboard
Still doesn't work with the hardware keyboard, any ideas?

Does anyone have word completion working?
James
word completion
was anyone able to find a fix? i have the fuze and my word completion is turned on but not working.
It does work for the physical keyboard but you still need the onscreen keyboard set to either Happy Tapping or the standard windows keyboard. it cannot be set to Full QWERTY. Also, a soft reset is required since the dictionaries go into the ROM on resets...
Whats goin on
Whats going on man!!!
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this stupid problem
I have word completion working on inputs all except the full qwerty and compact.
It works when you backspace after a few letters???
Please help someone
I seem to have an opposite problem with word completion. When I type in an email or sms, the word suggestion forces me to use its word. The change gets made automatically. Usually the word replaced is not what I wanted. I have tried unchecking the word suggestion/correction and made similar choices in Advanced Config. How can I stop this forced word replacement? Is there a registry hack that would stop this for good?
it is not working , any solutions
