how do i disable T9 via registry hack

hi,
can anyone tell me how to disable T9 perminently via a reg hack? i am using wm6 and i have done the alt-space bar command, but sometimes at power up the t9 mode restarts and does not allow me to enter numbers so i cannot unlock my device and end up hard resetting it. i think this will be easier then bypassing the device lock password.
thanks

If you want to enter numbers, you should be able to just hold down the button that has the number. For example, to enter a "2" press and hold "E".

thanks for trying, but i am not new to smartphones and i have already covered all the basics. thats why i am looking for a registry edit.

there isn't one as far as i know.

on the S621, you just press the FN key and SPACE bar key together and you can choose your default input.
Cheers

i take it you didnt actually read the very first post in this thread.......thanks for trying but reading the question usually leads to a better result, lol

Strange... mine stays off with alt-space until I turn it back on -- through multiple reboots, even after one of those endless-rebooting sessions...

my problem is random. it will work fine for a couple of reboots, then lock up, or sometimes it will not get past the first reboot. very frustrating as i am on the road all day i rely heavily on my smartphone. looks like i will be waiting for a rom upgrade

I Have a S620 Italian..

You can use CeRegEdit to edit your registry from your computer

still waiting for a way to completely disable T9

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME
CarrierDefaultTextMode=dword:0
(0 for ABC / 1 for XT9)

When typing annoying.

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

Disable Keypress "Preview" As You Type

I've disabled all of the auto-correct and suggestion SIP options on the TP and that works great, HOWEVER (heh, heh)...
Is there any way to turn off that annoying "what-you're-typing-preview" that always appears on-screen as you type? It is such a waste of screen real estate.
Do you know what I mean? I'll explain...
For example:
Code:
PREVIEW STYLE 1
1. Start a new text message.
2. Pop out your physical keyboard
3. Start typing!
You will see what you type appear in a little "preview window" at the bottom of your screen.
Now here's the REALLY annoying one...
Code:
PREVIEW STYLE 2
1. Open an existing SMS message (threaded view)
2. Pop out your physical keyboard
3. Start typing...
You will see the preview appear *above* your text this time. Even MORE annoying since it's taking up real estate in the typing area this time around.
I've been scrounging for a solution to this and really hope one exists.
Thanks for everything, guys!

press ctrl + space and choose abc

Thank-you VERY MUCH, Brendo!
I thought that I had already done this but I realize now that it was probably in my dreams.
(YES -- I dream about my TP -- don't lie -- YOU DO, TOO!!!).
Lol.
Take care.

Hi Guys, probably very silly of me, but 'choose abc'. Do we have a 'abc' button? I can't seem to find out what you mean with this. Also pressing cntrl + space and typing abc does nothing (obviously). Help me. I also find the typing preview window quite annoying, especially since I have been so happy to be able to turn the auto correct options off.

It can be found on the SIP - pop up keyboard, providing you have "full keyboard", phone keyboard etc selected and not the windows default keyboard. You will see a button marked ABC->T9. Make sure T9 is not selected.

Gee thnx ardsar, this was clear and worked. Indeed I had to change the layout of my pop up keyboard, as I hardly ever use it and had it in the default keyboard mode.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU (yes, I'm shouting )
If there was anything that pissed me off on this phone, it was the goddamn useless preview!
Why do they expect that you're a retard, if you bought HTC phone? I thought these phones were for smart people

That's kool that it will take the dialog away but while I'm in programs it still types the letters in the background and causes them to skip. Is there any way to disable the typing of keys in the background while still reading the keystrokes. Let's say I'm using PocketNES while I'm in the game it reads the hardware keyboard as typing letters when I'm not trying to type any message. I would just like to use the letters as buttons instead. Hopefully someone has found a solution to the problem!

Auto toggle XT9/Keypad and ABC/QWERTY

Does anyone know of a tweak, hack or app that would do the following:
I want to be able to switch more easily between Phone keypad entry with XT9 enabled and QWERTY in ABC mode.
What I mean is that when you come across a word not in the dictionary it’s pretty fiddly to change to ABC and then use your fingernail to call up the change input method screen to QWERTY. I’d like to be able to hit the XT9/ABC toggle and have it automatically switch from Phone keypad to QWERTY at the same time. Another good use would be if you’re merrily typing away in XT9 phone keypad mode and hit the ‘+’ to add a new word to the dictionary – it would be cool if it changed momentarily to QWERTY to allow you to enter the word and then shifted back into XT9/Phone Keypad automatically when finished.
I know it sounds lazy, but I really think this would make the text input much more ergonomic.
Any ideas?

no-one? Seriously?
I wonder is this in the wrong forum??
*bumpety bump*

google nusipstylus.
that will do the trick.
When you pull out the stylus you can enter on a full keyboard and when you put the stylus back in you get the htc keyboard.

here it is...

Hi
Thanks a million for the response.
However, I've found that app made my device agonisingly slow.
In any case, I think this is somewhat of a retrograde step. I was actually after someone to mod the HTC keyboards to just allow a quick toggle between XT9 and ABC that would default back after you hit the space key.
I really appreciate you taking the time to send me the .cab, but I'm afraid it's not quite what I was looking for.

[Q] voice to text button disappeared

just got my Nexus 5 and really digging it so far.
The one thing I seem to be missing is the voice input key on the stock android keyboard, i still have the option checked for it in settings but all that is in its place now is a comma and with a hold down press just the settings button. it really bums me out i used to use that feature daily on my 4. so this morning i did a factory reset because it was there as i was setting up the phone. what it seemed to me was when i went to the input settings and disabled vibrate on keypress it disappeared and won't come back. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to bring it back?

You need to tick Google voice typing in language and input as an input option as well

you are on the ball! that did it! thanks for helping out a fool so quickly

You're welcome. I keep pressing it by accident because I'm used to the comma key being there on the cm keyboard on my N4.
Only just discovered that pretty much all the symbol keys have long press options, even though they don't display any subset options like the number keys.

This also fixed it for me! Cool
