So, I've recently gone from using an AT&T 8525, to a BlackJack II, and now to the HTC Touch Cruise. The 8525 was a great phone, and I'd modded it to be nearly identical to the Touch Cruise but with the option of the slide-out keyboard when I needed it. Then the unit started "white screening" on Christmas day, so I purchased a BlackJack II a few days later. When I realized how much I missed wireless and the touch screen, I finally broke down and bought the Touch Cruise I'd REALLY wanted in the first place.
So, having joined the Skyfire Beta VERY early on... and having downloaded the beta browser on my BlackJack II, I was anxious to try it on my HTC Touch Cruise. But, after instaling the program, I've hit an early snag. The browser requires my Skyfire username and password to run, but when I go to enter than info, the "touch keyboard" mode only enters numbers. It's ignoring the letters and not letting me enter my info!
I tried going into settings, changing to the "regular" keyboard, and restarting Skyfire, but it starts back up with the Touch Keyboard everytime. So the only thing I can do is click Exit.
Guess I'll try the NON-touchscreen version on my Touch Cruise, but it just SUCKS that I can't try a single web page after installing the program. Have e-mailed Skyfire and waiting to hear from them.
You could try remote screen software like pocket controller to use your desktop keyboard to enter your details.

Crazy I was just about to say the same thing. Search for MyMobiler if you don't already have it.

for you IM+ users out there...i'm having a big problem getting this to run properly on my Touch. I've used it before on my MDA and Wing with no issues at all, except the ocassional disconnect. Here's the problem: when i pull up the soft keyboard to type, the screen does not format correctly (i.e., the chat box is behind the keyboard) and when I attempt to close the keyboard, part of it stays open and i'm not still not able to see the chat window. It's basically nonfunctional like this. I've tried older versions and have had the same issue. Is this a problem with non-sliding keyboard phones? any help would be appreciated as I really love this program and want to continue using it.
the only program i've found that can compete with IM+ is Palringo..but I have a problem with getting disconnected and getting the error message "you've been connecting and disconnecting." anyone know a fix for this as well?
yea i have the same problem with IM+
it touchflo breaking it i built my own rom to fix it pm me if u need it
Well I finally made a decision and bought the HTC TyTN II a couple of days ago because I just could wait any longer for the Touch Cruise and wasn’t 100% sure I’d like the on screen keyboard to type text.
TyTN II Thoughts:
It’s definitely a power house PDA however in the little time I’ve had the phone, I’m still yet to get use to the size and weight.
Coming from using an o2 Atom Exec which everything is done by using your stylus, it will take a little getting used to sliding out that full QWERTY keyboard rather than pulling out my stylus.
The Keyboard has a nice feel, however you will need a little getting used to pressing the keys closer to the spacebar, other than that I was up and typing like a pro in only a few minutes of having it.
If anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to answer what I can.
Questions I’d like answered:
1: On my Today screen, is it possible to show upcoming appointments for the next 14 days rather than the next appointment only? Or will I need to get third party software to do that example: calplus
2. Current OS version 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2) is there a newer version or a third party ROM upgarde?
3. Select an Account – is there any way I can delete the E-Mail sample account and Outlook E-mail account?
4. The weather button on the Today Screen, is it possible to replace that with something I regularly use?
5. If I install TouchFlo and the Cube, will that slow my phone down?
6. I installed my miniSD card and the phone asked me if I’d like to install CoPilot so I did. When I loaded CoPilot it tries searched for a GPS but never locks. Do I need to set anything in particular there?
7. What is the on screen keyboard software used on the Touch Cruise, I’d like to try installing that too?
I've got a new Samsung Omnia i900 phone and I was wondering if there is a way to disable the use of the display when being called.
The reason is that I got a nice case to protect my phone (came with the Millionairs edition), when I get a call I have to get the phone out of the case. During this action I certainly will (and have) press the screen a couple of times. Most of the time it results in the call being ignored before I have even seen who called me.
It would be nice if I only could pick up the phone using the hardware-keys so I don't ignore people I want to speak to or speak to the people I want to ignore.
I know there is an application for Answerkeys Disabler 0.4.1 in the diamond forum which runs on WM6.1 same as the omnia
I would suggest maybe searching for that application and then installing it and see what happens. AFAIK it doesnt reply on anything in particular of the device, but what have ya got to lose!
Good luck

Nice app. unfortunately it doesn't work on my dutch Omnia WM6.1.
hello,
i've bought a secondhand touch cruise months ago, and quite like it, but the touchscreen keyboards all stopped working.
if i use the touch keyboard gives numbers or nothing, the regular keyboard gives a bleeping noise.
i've got tomtom navigator six, and am content with it.
i was hoping that a rom upgrade would fix this, but since i've got this thing secondhand, i fear what would happen to tomtom and the maps i have.
is there a way i could backup tomtom and the maps and put them back after i used the new rom? right now it's licensed and paid for, i'd like to either keep it that way or keep at least the same functionality and ease of use.
just go to the manufacturers website and grab a piece of original software (wm 6.1) flash it after reading the manual, get back your data with a synchronization and install your favourite apps.
thats it.
Forgive me, i searched and searched and found nothing.
I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro, on Boost mobile. Everything works great (sprint picture mail sucks and is very slow, but whatever) anyhow, you guessed it, teh slide out keyboard dumped on me after 2 months of use.
I have tried all the tutorials, taped the ribbon cables, and i am on the stock rom. It wont work.
Aside form being a PITA, i cant use the web browser. I can't find a way to get Opera or IE or Skyfire to allow me to start an on screen keyboard so i can type an address. if i click an email or text link it works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
