Hi guys!
I got my TP a week ago and this is my first post on this nice forum.
I think the phone is amazing; it's my first WM powered device, however there's something bothering me about the Software Keyboard. When I'm using the hardware keyboard and access a textbox on the screen (especially in the Opera browser) the software keyboard automatically pops up, although I don't really need it.
This feature may be very useful on devices which do not have a built in hardware keyboard, like the Diamond. But on TP I find it highly annoying.
Does anyone know if there's a way to disable this behavior?
dowload Advanced Config 3.2, install and change Input/Auto deploy SIP to Disable..
Thank you very much, that solved my problem. I had ACT installed, but I didn't notice this setting so far.
Edit: however, this setting does not affect the behavior of the Opera browser; maybe they'll fix this in a future version.
UR welcome..
every1 was a noob..i still AM..;-)
Hey! good tip! I never knew this...I was just living with the software keyboard always popping up.
Thanks!!!
don't know why, but i started to re-appear to me in some apps, even when i disable it..
Try this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip>:
Create or change DWORD TurnOffAutoDeploy from 0 to 1
(Sorry, this is exactly what Advanced Config does)
Hello, guys!
I just found the solution for this problem.
There's a program called nullkeyboard (download from http://personales.ya.com/beemer/nullkeyboard.htm)
It's a SIP keyboard that does nothing (doesn't popup) and I think it's great to use it when browsing with opera or when using other apps that don't know that setting you mentioned.
I tried it and it works fine.

Hi, I would like to be able program macros and set them to either a hardware button or an alarm. For example I could press one button and then it would close all, hibernate, OK, with one press. Also I would like to include screen taps so that I could have SPB insight update all its channels via wifi while I'm still asleep in bed, and a soft reset after. I am probably missing something totally obvious, for all I know it's already a part of wm6. But I think I need some software, so if anyone could point me to a free solution... Thanks.
try doing a search for mort scripts
sounds just like what the doc ordered
Thanks Rudegar, I read a lot about mort scripts, but I really am not sure what to do with them, I will investigate. In the mean time I have found out that some software called "AlarmToday" coupled with "ButtonMax" might do it but I think they are comercial apps. Also ButtonMax may have wm6 issues.
Hi all, don't suppose anyone gives a toss, but I found this which is exactly what I wanted (except a trial) SKschema, It is a really useful looking thing if I can figure it out, we all know SKtools, so it should be good.
I was wondering if anyone has either of these apps working in a usable state on an AT&T Fuze? I did a search over on the forums there and got zero hits on the word Fuze so I thought I'd inquire here.
I understand that PocketCM requires a VGA theme for the Fuze so I tried HTCTouch's themes and the fix to the settings.ini file but everything is still so messed up I wondered if it's just too much work to get going or if it just wont work at all.
I can get the keyboard app to load and work but the keyboard is scrunched on first launch every time until you hit a key and then it straightens out. The other anomaly is I'm unable to set the options specified to load HTCTouch's themes properly.
I'm just trying to feel out if I'm doing something terribly wrong and other people have this working fine, or if this is a work in progress kind of thing and I should wait to mess with it. I do know from what I could see that I'd love to be able to use it. It looks really slick and I think it's an improvement on the standard apps.
Any input is much appreciated,
Eidolen
Sorry - I don't know where else to ask, and I've been asking around for years it seems.
I have more then one 3rd party sip on my ppc, (Tengo Free, Slideit, Touchpal, Phraze-It). I use Sipchange to pick which one I use when I reboot.
However, when I change from one 3rd party sip to another, most of the time I get the standard keyboard instead. I am unable to simply switch back and forth between the sips.
The default ones (like Letter Recognizer) all work fine, it's only the 3rd party ones that have the problem. It also doesn't matter which one sipchange makes the default.
Hard-resetting doesn't help, and I've had this problem on my current htc advantage, a samsung i730, and a samsung i760 - so the pocketpc doesn't seem to matter.
Is this just me, or is this some sort of windows mobile bug?
If no one has a fix, can anyone with more then one 3rd party sip tell me if they have this same problem?
Or does everyone just stick to one of them for all times (or built in keyboards).
Personally i tried most of the third party offerings and ended up using CooTek TouchPal as it was one of the few that would even load reliably on my Trinity. Most of the time i would select an alternate and it would fail to load, or it would load and then if i swapped to the standard one i was unable to swap back. The CooTek one swaps in and out no problems and is, well for me anyway, finger friendly.
I use both Resco Keyboard and TouchPal and they work fine.
One thing i suggest is, that you try to increase the delay to like 25 secs.
sometimes the OS is mixed up with all the stuff loading up that it will load the default sip AFTER loading the 3rd party one..
let me know if it works

That sounds like the same problem I am having - so it could be an os bug that doesn't show up often since I imagine most people stick to 1 keyboard.
BTW, agreed for the most part on Touchpal, my only gripe (which I hear they're working on) is a better landscape mode (I tend to work mostly in landscape).
Thanks for the reply!!

Which delay do you mean? Is there a setting for when you switch sip's that I'm not aware of.
OOC, why both Resco & Touchpal - do you use one or the other for different reasons?
I still prefer SlideIt over anything (cause I'm mostly a stylus guy), but sometimes - like when I'm in a car & need to type just a word or two - that I would take any keyboard with big buttons... as long as I can switch back & forth between them (which is my problem).
I use resco keyboard for hebrew and touchpal for english (i WISH touchpal had hebrew..)
in SIPChange you can set a delay...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008
that's what you're using right?
I'm using sipchange to change my default keyboard on bootup, which works perfectly.
My problem is switching between say Resco & Touchpal while it's running. (in this example)
F'instance, say I have Touchpal set to be the default in sipchange. I soft-reset, and Touchpal works fine.
Later, I try to switch to Resco. Instead of the Resco keyboard coming up - I get the standard vanilla windows keyboard instead. I can switch back to Touchpal - but the only way I can get Resco to work is by using sipchange, and soft-resetting.
SOMETIMES I can switch to Resco when Touchpal is the sipchange default. When this works, I can never switch back to Touchpal - when I do I get the standard vanilla keyboard again, and can't get Touchpal to work until a soft-reset.
Note that it doesn't seem to matter which sip's I use either - just using Resco & Touchpal in this example.
Are you able to switch back & forth as often as you would like?
Sometimes after first loading a keyboard (after install and before soft reset) You may have problems, but never have i really had problems after a soft reset. What version of wm have you been having problems with.
Currently with a HTC Advantage x7501 running Windows Mobile 6.0.
I also did a backup, hard-reset the device, installed Touchpal & SlideIT & had the same issue. I hard-reset, and installed other combinations of Touchpal / SlideIT / Tengo Free / Phraze-IT with the same problems every time (grr).
I used to have this problem on my older Samsung i730, but ignored the problem since I usually used the built-in keyboard. (I think os was 5.something)
Finally, I borrowed my wife's Samsung i760 & had the same problem with a hard-reset as well. (6.0)
Other then the gps on this unit having a weak antenna (hard to get a lock) - this is the only thing that causes me to regularly bash my head into the wall (ppc-speaking)

I've looked at that keyboard, but can't say I'm too interested in it. Touchpal simply looks better.
Will this sip fix the problem I mention of using multiple 3rd party sips?
When I open contacts and chose a contact to make a call, after finishing a call phone application closes but contacts remains open.
Is there a way for contacts to close automatically after making a call?
thank you for answer in advance.
I have HTC touch cruise wih original WWE WM6.1 ROM.
Don't know about the default contacts app but i use iContact and it is set to close on use - problem solved.
thank you for answer. This iContact application looks good.
But problem is, since I use original ROM I can't remove original applications, and I
don't want to install any unnecessary application, especially if it is double.
I do that only if it's really neccessary (like Skyfire because of flash).
The installation of iContact will remap the "Contacts" soft key to itself so in all honesty you wont see the built in app unless you actively seek out th eshortcut created fo rit. The one on your Start menu will also be remapped.
For me its one of the must have apps to get a finger friendly PPC.
I understand I won't see original application. But it will be there. And that is what I don't like. I don't like hidden unneccessery things in windows on my PC or PPC. So I would like to find a solution with original application (which is finger frendly BTW). This is it's only lack. And inability to hide SIM contacts which doesn't bug me that much.
But if I don't find solution I will definitely try this application. And maybe you can suggest me best version since I found more of them here on xda-developers.
Thank you
You can't remove the original version as it's provided in the ROM and so without cooking your own ROM it can't be removed. The original is not overly finger friendly unless you have wee fingers.
Given your dislike of duplication of software does this mean you surf using IE.
Personally i am using the Burt Edition v6.4.5 of iContact.
unfortunately if you'd like to change preferences on your device... and enhance it, you will also have to install new applications as not all default apps can be changed the way we want.
you have a touch cruise. it's a strong device, with enough memory to hold lots of applications. don't worry about it.
Ok. I know I have to install new apps and to try things if I want to enhance performance of my mobile. And I do that. I try things and I have to hard reset sometimes because of it. And I know my phone is capable of having a lot applications installed. That's why I bought it.
I just want to find the solution that pleases me the best.
And because original application is good enough to me, except this exit problem, I think best solution would be to have original application and make it close after use.
I don't like having double applications because of my experience with windows. Everything in registry decreases performance and if I have a few applications for same thing there's usually some kind of conflict.
But as I said I do try things in search of best solution, so I tried iContact.
It really is great application, much much better than original. and much more finger friendliy.
I decided to keep it.
And then I noticed that my cube freezes after using iContact. It seems to be a common problem and I found no solution for it.
So I'm back on the beginning.
Anyway, thank you for your help, ideas and suggestions.
Hi all,
I just stepped over from windows to android, through the Nexus one, and really happy I did.
There is however 1 thing I am missing, and have looked everywhere but can't find it.
On my windows phone I have the program Pocket Keyboard (http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php) which enabled me to change any key into either any other key or a string of key. i.e. when I log into a site I would like to use my standard login name through one keypress, and not have to spell it out completely.
The question thus is, is there a way of remapping any of the keys of the virtual keyboard.
Thanks in advance
Patrick
I would also like this
No body with any idea how to enable this? is there an app available rooted or not (mine is not yet rooted, but would do that just for this opion)
Patrick
please, anybody have any idea? Is this at all possible, can I maybe adapt the stock or better keyboard? I'm willing to try to get this enabled, but need some herlp
I was also asking about thing a few days ago. I used fingerkeyboard on my xperia which also offered all this possibilities and really miss an app like that on android.
Although not the exact answer you are looking for, this will work for what you are trying to accomplish on the Nexus One.
Follow the file path: Application Menu - Settings - Language & Keyboard - User Dictionary
Then select the menu key, select the add button, then type in the "username" of your frequently used logins in the Add to dictionary prompt.
This works well for me for this specific issue.
