Hey ya
well ive been searching high and low to try and find out if the SMS program is decent enough on the Polaris and others. i had a play with a HTC touch, only to find the default SMS program is not only combined with email, but is also. . . crap, with no option to use an on screen keypad with T9 predictive. Does such a thing exsit. Obviously the touch dual would allow this with its keypad and its T9 predictive text entry, but it doesnt have Wifi or GPS and probably wont anytime soon, so im looking elsewhere (Polaris/Cruise/Orbit2)
cheers

the phonepad input tool you can find here using search if your device dont come with it
does t9 and everything
it works on all wm devices from htc
"SMS program is not only combined with email,"
same thing for all htc/wm devices it dont slow it down
and emails and sms's are not placed in the same dirs
Thanks for the quick reply
Is this the one you mean ?

or is there an official HTC one that comes with the Polaris?
Jamie
same program diff skin i think
if it comes with polaris may depend on if one get it from a phone company they
at times customize their stuff
but a cab is a cab it will install and work

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a way in WM5 to use a different default SIP keyboard for different applications?
EG, for SMS messaging, I'd like the HTC Phone Pad to come up automatically, but for, say, Pocket Internet Explorer or Word Mobile I want the normal stylus Keyboard to pop up.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Cheers,
Ben
Perhaps you could use Mortscript.
write a batch script that will change the default keyboard depending on what active program is running. Plenty of information on Mortscript in this forum.
Hi. I have purchased my HTC Pro recently and installed my most usufull programs. One of them is softmaker. I was really confused when couldn't have input any word in Plan Maker and Text Maker using built in keyboard. The same problem had with logmein remote control aplication. When connected to my PC thru HTC Pro I also couldn't have input any words using the slide keyboard. What's the problem? Have you experienced the same problem using these programs? The slide keyboard works when writing text messages so I suppose that the problem lies in OS.
dunno about softmaker, but had the same problem in log me in.
I noticed in log me in, that only the standard keyboard worked, and not any of the HTC qwerty t9 stuff.
Try setting the normal keyboard as the SIP and see if it comes back to life. I've a nasty feeling that the T9 is interfering...
Same here for LogMeIn... I was kinda shocked that the hardware keyboard didn't work... But the regular soft keyboard works. I have posted on the LogMeIn forums (there were already posts there from people with the Diamond with the same problem). I'm hoping they'll fix this, I'd love to be able to use LogMeIn for work... I work on a mainframe, so text input is kinda important...
I had the same problem with Softmaker Office 2006. I've downloaded the 2008 demo version, it works fine with the keyboard (at least you can use it for 30 days!).
So I've emailed Softmaker support, I don't want to upgrade at least until they handle Office 2007 file format, there is not much new in this 2008 version. Let's see what they say...
Have problems same too with DOSBox.
And also when I type with the keyboard in TomTom it adds a an a with a round on the top after each letter typed.
Me too
Sad to say, having the same keyboard issue with logmein service (rather disappointing). Maybe I have to switch back to the Dopod 838Pro workhorse I have - a bit of a fat boy but at least it worked as it should.
guitarguy: how did you get the software keyboard to work? it doesn't seem to work for me...
Note: I noticed in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417616&page=3) sub69 had linked up to logmein in a tv out demo - not sure if they'd used the keyboard to login to the remote unit though. If anyone knows sub69 perhaps they can shoot them a pm...
I guess we can all shoot a message through to HTC and ask them. At the least, they'll be aware of the issue. I've contacted logmein for any help - but all they've sent back is a "not supported yet" message.
That may caused by ClearType in Landscape mode. Try to go to Settings->System->Screen->ClearType, clear checkbox Enable ClearType.
Had the same problem with pocketinformant 8.
I disabled t9, autocorrect and stuff like that , and now no more probem.
Except that, in french, when i push on FN then on é , the program closes !

I had problem with Softmaker Office 2008. When i pressed Fn Key+another key like !, &, # or else, the cursor in Planmaker/Textmaker will move away.
With my TyTN = Hermes and WM6.0 the autosuggestion of words seems much better than the Raphaels (at least in the hardware keybord stance).
Can someone explain why that is or if I have haven´t understood the utility or something else right?
With TyTN it basically suggests 4 alternatives in a diagonal way, it can be one word or SEVERAL words in a row, depending on what I´we written before. And you choose from them with the upp and down arrow keys. Simple and quick.
With Raphael it suggests several ONLY singular words horisontally, and if it´s not in the dictionary it automatically chooses another word than the one you´we just written (!?). Slow and awkward.
Also - who is behind this solution? Windows Mobile 6.1 or is it HTC Raphaels unique solution?
Thanks in advance
/Danne
Anybody have an opinion or information on this matter?
At least the system is a part of WM6.1 or if it´s Raphaels unique solution? Because I´m thinking about buying a Kaiser with WM6.1 instead and wonder if it has the same solution.
Sorry, no additional info, but I'm in the same boat so to speak.
I find it completely useless, specially since I don't always use English in my SMS messages, and I found that it becomes a nightmare if it doesn't find a match and then forces my word to something it thinks it should be.
What I cannot understand is that under Settings-Personal-Input-Word Completion - I have DISABLED it, but it still friking tries to complete my words, even in keyboard mode???
Do you know of another place to disable this dastardly excuse of a feature?
HAH!
Found it! If you want to disable it completely, the do the following:
1) make sure you disable it under settings - all settings - personal - Word Completion.
2) When you open a new message, bring up the virtual keyboard and look for the button that reads "ABC T9" - it has a toggle on the button, make sure it is on "ABC" and NOT T9 -voila!
Now I can SMS again!
I´m glad I was not the only one being irritated about this. But at least it´s possible to turn it off, so thanks for posting the solution Piie
I actually returned my TP because of this and severeal other reasons but I´m thinking about buying it again or some other WM6.1 phone. So do you know if your solution to turn if of works with Word Mobile documents as well?
And still, if somebody knows if it´s part of Raphael or WM6.1, please let me know.
Agreed 100% on the uselessness of word completion feature on the TP. On mine, the T9 feature actually slows the sms application so much as to make it completely unusable. This is probably my biggest complaint with this device.
Yip, following the steps as posted also removes the predictive text completely for Word ( and all other apps I have used so far)...
Thanks piie
I believe its part of the TP keyboard (SIP) not WM6.1 , when i had my kaiser with wm6.1 this "IRRITATING" issue was not there, but when i installed the diamond keyboard on my kaiser, this thing came out...... now its part of the TP because of its keyboard.......... so its HTC
I was getting annoyed with the behavior described in posts 1 and 2, disableds the whole thing too (I had an Excalibur before and it seemed to work far better on this particular aspect).
However, I decided to give the TP's T9 another shot and started changing it's configurations and finally got rid of the annoiance related: when on a text field, bring up the T9 options by pressing "Fn" + "Space", select "T9" settings and on the screen that appears uncheck the "Spell Correction" and "Auto-substitution" boxes.
Now I'm using the word prediction (T9) again just like I used in my old device, tipying much faster! (specially because I commonly write in portuguese and my keyboard is the UK one...).
Hope this helps you guys.
Cheers.
Sweet!
So you can still have predictive text, but remove the actual "irritant" of it overriding your word if it doesn't match it's dictionery - seems like that is the answer to your problem Danne?
For me - I really don't care for ANY kind of prediction - most often than not, even in English, the suggestions are maybe 30% usefull if that...
Great!
Yes, this is solution and now I know it´s part of Raphael/Diamond and not WM6.1!
Still, the Hermes WM6-solution with prediction of several words based on what you previously have written seems better. But I am happy with this!
I guess that´s the last words for me in this discussion.
Thanks guys!
just wondering how to disable word completion without installing htc ezinput, because at input settings by disabling it, doesn't work at all.
here's everything you need to know on how to get back to the old style autocorrect and change your dictionaries: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1527
That however breaks your hardware keyboard
sym key will stop working and you can't get pound and euro sign using FN key....
see my thread here:

Hello everyone,
After a lot of "tricks& hicks" on my phone, I've lost the ability to type sms, mail and MMS...
I mean I can type the To: with letters, but when typing any letter in the sms area, nothing except a beep.
I've surfed the forum but nothing, I think I changed in the registry the type of input specificity of the tmail.exe when trying to install HTC keyboard, EZ input...
but can't find where.
Does anyone faced that before, and could give me another answer than Hard Rest ?
Best regards, ad long live XDA

Seems no one ever had this strange sms issue
Hey hey,
I've just seen the answer of skribzy in this topic this night, and it WORKS!!!
big big up to you
QUote:
I had this problems - First get 'HD Tweak'
Open HD Tweak and go down to section 20 (Keyboard)
Disable T9 mode - I think that did it!
Regards and Xda rocks!!!

Cheers Jeant, you just fixed my Diamond from enterring numbers rather than letters in SMS with the keyboard set to phonepad. That'll learn me for changing EVERY setting at once in diamond tweak, if it ain't broke don't fix...
Hi !
First of all I'd like to apologize for my English, actually I'm French... But since there is no French XDA community I will do my best to understood...
I've recently bought an HTC Diamond 2, but I'm disappointed because of the keyboard when writing an SMS with touch flo indeed, I don't manage to have my phone in landscape mode with the big keyboard, and only get the small one in portrai mode. Is there any software or hack to get it ?
Moreover can you tell me the software the most useful, I've already setup the ATI drivers, and Advanced config tool (which I'm a bit afraid to use, is there any guide ?). Any softwares which would improve my way of using this phone ?
Last question, what about the SMS memory ? how much SMS can we keep in memory in the phone ?
Once again sorry for my English, I did my best.
Thanks in advance !

Go to the settings tab of the TouchFlo, at the bottom (you have to scroll down with your finger) you will find G-Sensor, click it and turn on Auto Rotation. This should enable auto rotate in SMS.
As for number of SMS, it is practically unlimited, I have more than 2000 SMS's in my TD2.
thanks for your answer, but it doesn't work, I am not triying to have the keyboard rotate in the windows mobile messenger software, in this one it does very well.
But when you receive a message in the touch flo tab, you press on it so that you can answer (but you're still in the touch flo interface), but here the keyboard doesn't want to rotate....
I think that you are selecting the message which effectively takes you to the people tab and the threaded message where I dont think the keyboard will rotate.
You can however click on 'menu' then 'reply' where the keyboard should rotate for you there. hope that helps
By the way using Advanced config should be quite safe to use. the latest version advises you on what the default settings are and what the advised settings are so it is pretty straight forward.
Just dont try changing things you are unsure of or post a question on here and i'm sure someone will answer specific questions
I finally have my question solved thanks to a topic here which explained how to make the TouchFlo 3D rotate.
Thanks to your answers !
