WM6 acting like it is using T9 texting - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Hello
I just upgraded my HTC Wizard to WM 6 black Diamond.
Now when i type it acts like it is using T9 predictive texting. it make you verify what you want instead of just type what you press.
Attached is a screen shot of what i get when i try to type 11750 from my keyboard.
Any help would be great. Thanks!!

Start/Settings/System/ROM settings: in the 1st checkbox (2nd line), uncheck "Enable xT9" and done!

An other place: Start/Settings/Personal: tab Input: in th 2nd tab "Word completion", uncheck Suggest words when entering text.

Thanks
I looked in both areas and the xT9 is not checked and under input that is not checked but it still is giving me what looks like in the screen shoot as T9 texting.

Reboot your device. I have checked changing those settings to be sure how it working before reply your post and it's perfectly responded.

Having same problem on Mogul
I am haveing the same problem on my sprint Mogul I have tried everything to get rid of the t9 texting and can't. It is Driving me crazy.

Virtual keyboard problem

1st my device: tytnII, running DCS1.7 wm6.1, using touchpal pro as default sip.
2nd synopsis: I have been having the this problem for a while and have been searching but found no answer. My problem is with the virtual keyboard auto pop up on any txt field i hit (in opera 9.5 as soon as a touch the screen, anywhere on the screen, the sip auto pops up).
now to the question: is there a way to stop this auto sip pop up? I know about the use the built in keyboard and the sip will go away (but that doesn't work especially in opera9.5 for me). the thing is I want to use the sip but I don't want it to auto popup I want to bring it up when I want to use it. is there a way to get that done? a registry hack of some sort? a program, utility, something?
regards, lennie.
no one is having the same problem?

H/W keyboard input lag issue. (SIP Related?)

Hi guys. Long time lurker here, first time poster - So before I get in to it I'll just take this opportunity to thank you guys for the countless times you contributing members have saved my ass, provided useful advice or applications - XDA-Developers rocks.
Secondly, I apologise if this issue has been covered, but I searched through the forums, googled 'n' whatnot, and got no love.
Okay - The problem I'm having is with input lag - Whenever I try to type anything on the hardware keyboard, there is an SIP running, suggesting words & alterations, and this SIP is massively slow - I can type out about 15 words before it finishes accepting the input for the first one. Am I the only one having this trouble?
I believe it's an issue with the "Full QWERTY" SIP installed by default on the device, but I can't seem to change the SIP to another option - it changes itself back automatically whenever the keyboard is used. I can't find a way to remove a factory installed SIP without flashing the ROM (Which I don't really want to do right now..) and I've tried SIPChange and another similar piece of software to no gain. I've disabled all suggestions and corrections, and this makes negligable difference to the speed of input.
So, if anyone is able to help me either remove the SIP - My preferred option - or simply stop it being so damned slow, my thanks in advance.
Did you change from t9 to abc in the on screen keyboard? There will be a slider from t9 to ABC. Then go and disable all the spell checks and word completion in the settings. That worked for me.
I appreciate the quick Response, Raspster, but I've already done that. It did remove one of the issues - that annoying grey bar - but the keyboard input is still way slower than it should be. My old TyTN was much faster.
Potential fix
Hi guys, try this seemed to work for me kb much faster on text input only for main body of message though, not for contact selection. Using a reg editor navigate to HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd then find value key InitialDelay and change to 0 or any smaller value. Mine set to 0 so keyboard responds almost instantly. naturally a soft reset is required. cheers
How did you get the annoying grey box to disappear? I think I have unchecked all the right things, but it is still there.
Thanks for your help
Steve
Sorry about the delayed reply, Steve. To get rid of the grey box, all I did was open up the on-screen "Full QWERTY" keyboard, and there is a selection button for T9/ABC. Slide it to ABC, and the annoying T9 box is gone. :]

How to stop the word correction nazi???

Every time I type sms, my TP auto corrects and forces me to use words from its dictionary, instead of my intended word. Then it won't let me change its word. I have tried to turn off auto-correct and set suggested words to 0, but no luck. Please someone tell me how to stop this.
are u sure T9 is not selected?
I have same problem. With sms messages the word correction screws up my messages. I turned off the suggest words option under advanced config...but doesn't help the sms/mms messaging helper. Haven't tried registry hacks...might have to explore the registry a bit...

Yes I am sure it is not selected. I am using slide-out keyboard anyway, but am sure T9 is not selected. Please someone must have come up with some way to stop this [email protected]@@@ing thing from changing all my words.
There should be T9 as a secondary function on one of the buttons on the slide out keyboard. For the FUZE it is Fn+right arrow. It brings up a menu to choose ABC or T9.
turning off word completion in either t9 or keyboard mode doesn't matter. The word completion still comes up. Doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off!
Try This. this should do the trick... hopefully!

I have disable word correction using the Advanced confing App 3.3
The Advanced Config. 3.3 application has been a great tool for me so far and allows for many customizations. I am using a Touch Pro and it was able to stop word correction on my device. If you are going to install Advanced Config tool, you will need to install Microsoft .Net compact framework 3.5 first. Hope this is helpful.
Anyone using the NATF fix? A few questions:
1. Does it solve the forced changing of words?
2. Does it stop all corrections such as auto capitalizing of 1st word in sentence? - (which I like)
3. Any side effects of using this program?
I like people like NATF that solve problems. Kind of a hero.
Krizza, I also use AC3.3. Under INPUT I changed suggested words to 0 (default). This didn't seem to do anything for sms. Is there another setting somewhere?
maybe it isn't Advanced Config......

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I just assumed that it was AC3.3 that was stopping the "suggest words" function. I have mine set to 0 (default) as well. My Touch Pro no longer suggests words when I'm texting, but I just checked out ,my phone and I have also adjusted START > SETTINGS > INPUT > WORD COMPLETION then I have unchecked the box that says "suggest words when entering text"......maybe that is what has been working for me all along.....hehehe
Krizza, I've had that un-checked all along. However the problem seems to have fixed itself when I reselected 0 (default) in AC3.3 then soft reset. It wasn't instant though, it seemed to correct after a few days. odd.

SMS contacts won't populate

Hello,
I was using Mighty Rom 5 and my hardware keyboard just stopped working totally.. I did a hard reset and had the same issue.. Re-flashed the phone and its working good again, no more keyboard issues.
Now the problem is when I type in a name in the TO: feild, it won't auto populate the perons i'm trying to get to any more.
For example I would type out Der and at the bottom of my scree it would say derek s., i could click on that name and it would fill out his number. Now i have to click the to field and select the name that way.
i've tired turning on the predictive text, auto-correct, suggest new words (none of them will work even in texts).. I've messed with other options as well, nothing works.
The odd thing is I used to be able to hit FN-spacebar and get T9 menu, doesn't work anymore either. Maybe part of the new rom update.
suggestions?
On thing I noticed is that when I go to settings and personal, input options, I only have 4 options, Keyboard, block recognizer, fingerkeyb(i installed that one) and letter recognizer.. I don't have the full qwerty option or the others..
well after flashing the phone, going back to stock and trying everthing else I can think of, I found a fix.
Take a hammer, smash the phone, get the new palm.
Thats the last HTC phone I will evey buy.. I replaced my mogul 3 times, and i'm on my 4th HTC Touch Pro (all hardware keybaord issues, or this software crap).
HTC can suck my D***

Spell checking?

When I would send an SMS on my Wizard using the keyboard, the system would automatically capitalize the first word of a sentence (and "I" or "I'm"), insert apostrophes in contractions, and remember words I used (sometimes). The input on my Fuze will capitalize the first word, but that's the extent of the spell checking it does. Is there any way to set it to something more similar to the WM5 spell checking? I've played with some of the options, but haven't stumbled upon the correct configuration as yet.
I would like this, too.
I got used to it in my 8525 and I miss it on my Fuze.
Since someone else seems interested in this, I'll mention what I did to 'solve' the problem. You have to turn T9 on (Fn + right-arrow). It behaves just like T9 normally does, but at least it will correct minor spelling errors on-the-fly and allow you to add custom words to the dictionary.
I just wish I could turn off the 'suggestion' line that appears. Oh well...
I should also mention T9 needs to be turned on every time I try to use the hardware keyboard. For some reason, it likes to turn itself off. Is there any way (registry hack) to force T9 over ABC mode?
There is some setup for the T9
Setting/Imput/Options/T9 Settings
There are just 4 check boxes
Spell Correction
Word Completion in T9 mode
Work Completion in ABC mode
Auto-Substitution
None of them were check on mine and i just barely upgraded my ROM to the 5.11 so every thing was set to default
