On my original Orbit, the predictive text was the built in WM one (even after the WM6 update), but on the Orbit 2 it's the black one which isn't the WM6 one but presumably is the HTC replacement. However, I don't like it. Partly because I type a lot of texts from my PC using Pocket Controller Pro to type directly into the message. With the HTC predictive thing, if I type at normal speed, it drops characters, but the original Microsoft WM one doesn't. So now I have to type v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, which is a PITA.
So that's a long winded way of asking whether I can switch back to the Microsoft predictive text.. thanks!

Yes, neither of which came up with a solution. Is there a specific google search I should try which will give me the right answer?

According to the little black book which has 'manual' printed on it whith nice characters and was included in the basic packadge, the predective text input is called XT9... so try again...

Still nothing. "Is there a specific google search I should try which will give me the right answer?". If you've got a point to make about looking up answers then you're not making it very well. Perhaps demonstrate that the answer is out there and easily found by showing me what I should be looking for. Stuff like "remove polaris xt9" "remove touch cruise xt9", doesn't give me any site that tells me what I need to know. Presumably you know different, so let's see what you've got.

What a twat! If you know the answer, then share it - or even better, put it in the Wiki. Don't post three times on the same topic, just to tell the OP that he should Google for it - especially when it patently isn't intuitively obvious to find.
(I too would like to get rid of this Predictive Text mode, and I too am unable to find it using search engines - and yes, there are other search engines than Google.)
Besides him being a twat in other posts, he's got a valid point here.
RTFM, it's in the user manual that came with your HTC Polaris. Read it again, it's easy to spot.
Go to your keyboard options and select the specific keyboard settings... his hint about XT9 should be all you need by now.
By the time I finished typing this post and went back to thread listings I saw this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357744 thread as the bottom listing...
search and you'll find.. Most of it is already posted (besides the various hardware bugs this type of device is suffering from )

Nothing in the manual describes what I want to do. I've just checked a PDF of it and searched and re-read every reference to "XT9". Nothing in any of the threads I've read describes how to do what I want to do. You on the other hand seem to think differently so I've asked you a number of times now to be specific, but it seems you can't be. I wonder why...

Well firstly I'm amused that you would come up with this, despite telling me in your last post that "I'll make something obvious clear: You can't have the old WM word suggestion back". Sounds to me like you haven't actually got a clue what you're talking about.
But I've already tried that and it doesn't work, not on my device anyway, it makes no noticeable difference. TBH I was then a bit worried about installing a cab that turns out to make no difference that I could tell, but dissecting the CAB meant it was easy enough to ensure its changes could be undone with confidence.

Well you're wrong again. The manual doesn't tell me how to restore the WM6 prediction, which is what I asked for. I knew this before I even posted the OP. If the manual was enough, then how come, after all your bleating have you still not managed to point out a working solution?
Next time mate, learn to read the OP properly before making botched assumptions and then acting like a sanctimonious arsehole. You'll only look like a little twat in the long run when it's pointed out to you that you were wrong and have absolutely no basis for your whining.
The manual is useless to me also. I went into the Input mode and disabled everything, but it still suggests word, adds a space, etc.
I prefer to use the Block Recognizer and it continually adds spaces.
If I want it to suggest a word when entering a calendar event, it does not suggest a word even if I turn on the option to suggest words.
Basically, it does everything I do not want it to do!
I did some searches also, but I really did not get any useful results other than the basic text shown in the manual.
It's not my fault that you can't consider the lack of information in the manual and in forums as information in itself.
No info in the maunal, can't restore it to default (whithout tweaking).
CAB's not working, can't restore it to default (whith tweaking) - also according to your last post you found that already, so there is another (older) thread dealing whith your problem (at least partialy).
You don't have the knowledge to restore it, if you had it you would have restored it already.
In conclusion, you can't restore the Original one. How am I wrong?

The best thing you can do about it is to wait for someone comes up whith a solution, but I don't belive there will be one, just newer versions of XT9 that (maybe) works properly. Or try other ROMs (like the upcoming Polaris Project ROM, or bepe's), and hope one of them has the XT9 working properly, or has the original.

You're wrong because you told me to RTFM when (as I already knew), the answer to my question wasn't there. You were wrong when you suggested I was being lazy. You were wrong in your original misinterpretation of what I'd asked, leading you to give wrong advice. You were in a wrong position to get on your high horse because I actually wasn't guilty of anything that you were pontificating about. You were wrong to suggest that the answer lay in a Google search because you've yet been unable to come up with it. Oh, and you are wrong each time you put "whith" instead of "with", despite me already pointing this out to you.
That enough wrongs for you?

Well it had to happen, in fairness, I know announcements are sometimes overlooked. Maybe they should be in 72pt extra large BOLD or something.
Actually I think I will leave this thread to drift around, just in case others fail to see the announcement. It will save folks having to answer if others have the same question.

Maybe if the default announcements would show as a PM notice (that couldn't be turned off until a user hit's x number of posts) with a sexy man or woman (don't want to discriminate ) that reads the announcement with word highlighting for the user to follow along with. Maybe then people will actually read...
Or maybe not.
most people nowaday prefer to ask questions and want to get answer right there. They dont read anymore, not even skim/scan. Next time if you have an announcement, create a flash movie with audio that speaks what you want and put it up here. If they dont read the word in the flash movie, they could still hear.
Hi Guys,
I've been using this phone for about a month now and it truly is one of the best devices I've ever had! I've tweaked and modified it to perfection but, as the title of this thread suggests, the final thing I was hoping for was a way to move the lock-slider to the bottom of the screen when locking/unlocking the phone to make it more finger/hand friendly.

Hi Guys,
I've been using this phone for about a month now and it truly is one f the best devices I've ever used! I've tweaked and modified it to perfection but, as the title of this thread suggests, the final thing I was hoping for was a way to move the lock-slider to the bottom of the screen when locking/unlocking the phone.

There are plenty of posts about this on this LEO forum.
Anyway... be careful because rolling back is a bit hard.

Ok, I'll keep searching. What did you mean by ''rolling back is a bit hard''?

Heartofwolf improved the version of your link. You can find it on http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363
I used that version on my HD and now HD2.

Brilliant! I'll check it out now. I love this place!!!! PS I'm reading about cbr files and stuff. Will I need one or do I just install this cab alone?
Thanks
Im using heartwolf lock cab and it works perfect on my hd
Absolutely perfect! Exactly what I was looking for....
Thanks guys
heres the cab for anyone else.. beware, installing this cab overwrites original manila files so simply uninstalling it wont revert you back to original layout. if anyone has the cab to return everything back to standard layout please post it here...... i need it!! lol thanks.
(image of what you get installing this cab below)
Haha...yeah I've just noticed that myself. I uninstalled heartwolf's cab to change a theme and I was getting ''tap here to unlock'' instead of the old slider.
Funnily enough, I prefer that default method to the original one anyway but I too would like the original slider if anyone has it, just incase.
Thanks

i just installed the.... CAB IN QUESTION!!!!!! LMAO again until someone posts original unlock cab. (we may be waiting some time i think lol) to be honest i think i read somewhere before installing it to back up original files, but i havent got a clue how to backup or replace windows files. i did start a thread on the topaz forum asking how to put files/replace files in the windows directory, and backup files and stuff. but no-one answered it lol. think its a bit trivial to alot of the people who post on here, as its 2nd nature to them. they must of seen my thread and shook there head at me lmao. i did try the search but alls that would bring up was things related to what files to replace in the windows folder for various things, not how to. i DO know to use total commander or resco explorer LMAO thats about it. maybe doing a computer course in on the horizon! Mmmmmmmm. lol

I use SPB backup. Installed this after my first and only (so far) hard reset. It creates a back up in a .exe form so if your phone crashes and must be hard reset you can simply click the file and it will restore your phone (theoretically - I haven't had as of the time of this posting) This doesn't help your current predicament but maybe a hard reset will get you back to normal. Not sure though.

Well try Sprite Backup (http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-backup/full-edition). It backs up all settings, emails, texts, contacts, everything by all accounts. I have a Sprite Backup from before I installed the new cab anyway so, if worst comes to worst, I'll try that but to be honest, I re-installed heartwolf's cab again and I'm happy with the slider at the bottom of the screen anyway so I'm fine.
henv (the poster of the cab in this thread) should really edit his post to reflect that the original slider would be removed but, as I say, I personally don't really mind....
As above I got excited seeing the cab and downloaded it. Disliking it so much I have now done a hard reset which has returned everything to normal.
FU.K
HOW RETURN REGULAR LOCKSCREEN AFTER DEINSTALLING OF THIS "FIX"??????????????????
thanks for all your replys guys, very usefull! think i`l try backing up my files using one of them programs. nice to know a hard reset turns everything normal again, pheeeeeew!!! lol oh yeah it was me who posted the cab. and i did state it overwrites original manila files to stop anyone else going through the same mistake as me if they didnt like it, i even posted an image to show what you get! lol anyways thanks for your replys guys, much appreciated.

Hmm.
I've opened my HTC Dream, but I haven't been able to get my hands on a Magic..
The ram on some Magics is 288M, yes? And 192M on the Dream? This is a *huge* difference, as it takes what... 70M or so, just to load the OS, the home screen, an applet or two, and of course the 20M for the graphics chip...
So, that's a big upgrade.
Thing is, I've heard many a time, that the Magic is basically just a Dream. If so, wouldn't HTC have provided pinouts for hooking up a hardware keyboard? After all, there might have been plans to make a Dream V2.
Has anyone looked at the hardware inside, to see if it is possible to take the Magic circuit board, and slap it into a Dream? To see if the pinouts are on the board?
I'd *happily* buy a Magic, swap the hardware, and use the old Dream board + Magic case for a backup phone...
So, anyone looked?

Ah. Typical schmucky response.
Please point to where, in the service manuals, there are very-high-res images of the motherboard and daughterboards, so they can be examined in detail.

There was no intent to help, what so ever.
An intent to help would be:

or
"I have a dead Magic, I'll open it and see"
A smartass "go search google for service manuals, that have nothing to do with the question.. and can't help at all" isn't an attempt to help.

you want to fit the boards from a magic into a dream case
look at the service manual, you will quickly see that they will not fit
for one the camera is in the wrong place
unless of course your going to fabricate a new case for your 'magic with a dream keyboard'
but carry on dreaming your magic

Right.
So, since you did not state this before, I believe I am correct in my prior assumption that you were simply being a smartass. That is, you read my prior thread, saw the other comments that stated what you've just stated, and decided to carry the same marlarky here.
Clearly I've already stated, especially in that other thread, that I am looking for that pad/header first.
So, how are you helping? Comparatively, how are you being destructive?
Does it harm you, or others of this board, to allow myself -- and others that would like to see the same, to get together and look for a keyboard header/pads on the Magic? Certainly not!
For example, as for the camera, it's only a hole in the back of the case. A dremel will make a nice, neat one. As for the rest of the boards? Well, that's something to see. Clearly I've heard statements about the boards... repeating them is not necessary.
Heck, I haven't even stated that I'd have to use the case from the Dream OR Magic to make this work, have I? There is more than one way to skin a cat.
Of course, even though you apparently don't want to look for the pads, or investigate the hardware directly, the fact that I'm interesting in trying seems to erk you. It also seems to erk goldenarmz for some reason. Your thoughts of "Why is he even bothering with this?!" translate into "I should post as many detracting statements as possibile in these threads, to prevent it!"
After all, if you don't want to do it, and if you don't think it's possible... why, you must come to my thread, and do everything possible to prevent others from trying!
So, please.. go ahead goldenarmz and Firerat. Continue to post "you can't do that!" messages all over my threads. That's just great! I'm sure everyone will be very thankful, that you've both done everything you can to prevent my horrible abomination!
THANK GOD EVERYONE! WE STOPPED HIM FROM CREATING FRANKENSTEIN! OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE!!!

an idea
buy a magic and just do it.
then show off what you did
be sure to take step by step pictures and maybe shoot a video to use in your tutorial
Riiiight.
Regardless of whether or not you knew of the other thread, your "go look at the manuals via how-to-search-Google smartass page" was clearly not meant to be polite, by any means. It was meant to be a smartassed statement... and you received an answer in the same vein.
Also, your definition of an "idiot", is actually a misquote, I believe it was initially a _joke_ about sanity. Of course, such a statement in itself is "idiotic", unless you think learning by trial and error is only an idiots game.
Or, did you consider yourself an idiot, when you were learning to ride a bike... fell off, and got back on? Ha-ha, look at the idiot, trying to ride a bike again -- but expecting to stay on!
Please. Again, let's be serious.
Back to myself... what precisely have I 'tried again', except for trying to post a new thread, to clear out the blather from an old?

Hey! I have a better idea!
How about I post a thread to a forum somewhere... and ask if anyone out there has a Magic they can look at? Maybe someone will even have a broken Magic they can look at.. so they won't sweat so much when they open it!
Wow, what a great idea! Then I can verify if there is a header/pads for a keyboard, before I buy one and perhaps waste my money!
That's such a great idea! Maybe I should try it!!
HOLY SARCASM BATMAN!
As for the pics and such, you can be damned sure I'd document any hack of the sort, if I proceed.....

You've asked the same question 3 times despite being told, and being shown proof that it will never, ever work.
By insisting that you want to find these "pads" where a keyboard was never intended to be fitted.. You're trying to climb the garden fence when directly behind it is a 50 foot wall of impenetrable steel - namely, the fact that your creation won't fit in the sodding case.

if I truly repeated the same action then I would continue to fall off, no each time I got back on I did something different, hoping that it was enough to not fall off.
your not really all that smart are you

you don't need help with this, just buy a magic and try it

I've already stated that I don't have to use the same case. I've already stated that I'm also willing to modify my case.
Again, though.. you want to run up and down, screaming IT WON'T WORK! STOP IT!! STOP!! IT WON'T WORK, OH PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP TRYING!
I BEG YOU! STOP TRYING!
