Hey. This isn't a big problem, as far as I can tell, but it is worrying.
In the Settings\Personal\Input area I can select all the input methods, however upon pressing "OK", nothing changes. Returning to the Input area shows that it's still set to "Keyboard". I initially thought the problem may have come about from me installing the blackstone keyboard, but after a full reset, wiping all data and programs, it still doesn't work the way it should. Any suggestions would be most helpful.
This confused me as well, but I figured out the solution to the problem. Go to a place where you could use an input method (like writing a text message) and from there change your input method. Then it will be changed.
no i think with most winmo 6 and 6.1 machine itll re load the microsoft keyboard evey boot there after
this app made by sleuth i think may help

Dude! It works beautifully! Still can't fathom why it didn't just do it in the menu, I mean what's it for then? I suppose must be there just to adjust settings and so on for the various input methods that you can then select from the popup menu when you're actually inputting things. Thanks for the help.

I can't find how to disable the auto-capitalization of first word ?
Under WM5 It's Start -> Settings -> Input -> Options -> untick 'Capitalize first letter of sentance'
I'm pretty sure from memory that WM 2003 was much the same.
Unselecting 'capitalize first letter of sentence' has no effect, at least on my device. I wonder why because I only have the default input method of wm5 ?
A search on the forum, make me see that some other user had a problem with auto-capitalization (but no solution):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...highlight=Capitalize+first+letter+of+sentence
this 'capitalize first letter of sentence' option is really not working.
I just tried on a fresh new wm5 image (on a TyTN, a Wizard and the PocketPC emulator), and the option has NO effect. It is always auto-capitalized.
Gajet, does disabling auto-capitalization work for you ?
Doesn't work on my Charmer too. I'm using the input Word recognition.
D'oh.
I was very happy when I wandered by this post, but it didn't work for me, either.
I have the new 2.26 T-Mobile ROM, and all sorts of things aren't working, though. >_<
So I am happy to see I am not the only one as this thing is driving me mad.
Maybe this option triggers a registry key change that is not done properly done by WM5.
Are there any people that know where is this regestry key to force the 'capitalize first letter of sentence' to DISABLED ?
Sorry for slow reply. For me the option works under Word and notes, however I do notice that adding a new entry in my calendar will continue to be capitalised.
So I think it is dependany on the application being used. What is it giving you most headache?
Personally I like the auto-capitals so I'd never noticed an issue.

sorry... couldn't resist it...

Gajet, for me the option as no effect whatever software I am in.
Is it possible to deactivate the virtual keyboard when, for example, a textbox is selected?

I've already asked this question somewhere but no answer :|

Try this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip>:
Create or change DWORD TurnOffAutoDeploy from 0 to 1

Edit 2: worked ... had to re-enter reg change
Edit:to disable sip completely use
HKEY_CURRENT_USERControlPanelSipAllowChange (DWORD 1->0)
I tried the first option and it didn't work. I'll try the second option and see the result.
Thanks

That really messed things up. Changing it didnt work, so I tried a soft reset. Once I did, the keyboard was permanently on the screen and refused to go away at all!! Changed it back to '1', did a soft reset and things were back to normal.
If you type something using the HW keyboard when the software keyboard is displayed then it should go away and shouldn't reappear next time.

the first option does work but you have to make sure the change is commited to memory in the registry
try using a program called Ceregeditor
available here
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/
I couldn't get it to work either, created the dword, saved it, soft rest and checked it was ok, still didn't work
the best would be a method to deactivate SIP only when physical keyboard is open

Yea that's what I was looking for. I want to disable it completely. Just use the hardware keyboard. But it doesn't work.

Yeap,
I've tried both registry chagnges today
First one doesnt work at all, sip is still popping up on thet field
Second one made a little mess in settings - the keyboard stayed all the time, there was no option to disable it so I've roll back settings to default and ... still waiting for solution
Regards
B.
So there is no solution so far or ?
thanks

I can think of a solution but the problem is who will implement it (it is not so hard):
If the physical keyboard is open it is detectable right? (the system already reacts to it, may play a sound, presents the side sortcuts, rotates the screen)
Why not in addition to those actions, also SWITCH SIP to an EMPTY one? This way even if we cannot easily interrupt the system from trying to pop up the SIP, at least it will pop up a "null" one!
What do you think?
did anyone find the correct solution for this to deactivate sip keyboard when hardware keyboard is opened.

Hi all
Sorry to make a new thread but this is something that just does not make any sense. I took the plunge when 5.0* was released and I currently do not have the onscreen keyboard. There is a guy on these forums that was nice enough to help me out through gchat but I haven't gotten anywhere.
Just to be clear I have wiped several times and reflashed several times and I do not even have the MENU OPTION to enable the onscreen keyboard. The following picture should show what I mean (sorry I'm really bad at photoshop).
Anybody have a clue what to do? I'm willing to wipe again but it seems pointless because I've done it several times.
Also, I tried out the "G" version just to check it out and the onscreen keyboard comes up on this one.
That's odd. I installed 5.0.2H this morning and have no issues with the VK.
Is there a way to DBAN the G1? Something "better" than al+w? I'm desperate lol.
You must of not flaseheed correctly.
Make sure when you flash you press home and back together. Don't press Phone - Menu and Power
If you still have problems go into settings - Locale & Text
Make sure touchput Chinese is checked.
Mine works fine so yours should as well.
Good Luck
Is this Robbie? If it isn't, there is someone else with the same problem on another forum, so it isn't an isolated issue.

I've got bad news for you. Robbie forgot that he disabled it because he didn't know what he was clicking in settings.
He remembered this morning what he did, and now he's got it back. I hope your problem is as easy to solve.
One thing, it took me a few minutes to find mine, because I didn't realize that you have to click in the text box to have it appear.
Great. I guess I am losing my mind. Does anybody's "Locale & Text" look like mine?
71HC, could you check if /system/app/HTC_CIME.apk exists? )This is HTC's chinese touch input application and it's huge (>1M).) You can do this by typing "ls /system/app/HTC_CIME.apk" in Terminal or adb shell. if it's not, extract the file from the zip and adb push it to /system/app/ folder. Then reboot the phone. You make have to long press in a textbox to bring up the context menu and select input method, but the IME has to be enabled in Locale & text first.
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it. I looked it up on terminal and it looks like its there. I also looked it up on Linda file manager and it seems to be there. Can I long press it and install it from there? I was hoping it would be missing so that your solution would work. Now I'm even more confused.
I went ahead and tried to install HTC_CIME.apk
It told me that textinput chinese could not be installed on this device
great
My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.
Any programs and or reg hacks to:
1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and
2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?
Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.
This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!
Thanks.
I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.
yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.
Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!!
I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info
1) make sure to backup your reg info
2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"
4) delete that string
5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.

OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:
Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.
Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.
Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?

That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.
If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.
Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
deleted old string with phone/....
So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.
Here's hoping all is OK!

Awesome, good job!
I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!
I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?

I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...
I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.
Posted this in HD2 general, might not have been the right section as no-one seems to be paying any attention, and I really want to sort this!
May be a stupid question, I've searched my phone and the net and couldn't find anything, though I'm not sure what I should be searching for anyway.
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to disable the box of words that pops up when typing something, trying to predict what you might be trying to say.
I'm sure it's only been showing up recently, possibly since I installed an application or something, as I don't remember it being there when I first got the phone, otherwise I would have asked this question by now.
I've attached an example of what I'm talking about.
I've tried going into Text Input Settings and enabling / disabling Spell Correction, Word Completion (XT9) and Word Complection (ABC) (all off at the moment) but it doesn't seem to make any difference, and it's really bugging me!
Any help would be really appreciated!
disabling those options and resetting the device does the trick for me.....
btw what kind of keyboard are you using there?
also you have an "options" when selecting the keyboard input, in that opting menu you need to disable them there too.
I've tried a number of different combinations of settings and resetting the phone in between, just doesn't seem to pay attention to the settings.
Also think there's something weird going on as the XT9 and ABC doesn't make any difference when using the normal keyboards, it no longer has the XT9 style text prediction instead of this blocky word suggestion. Though I don't care about the missing XT9 mode, I just want to hide this.
Also, I'm using Swype keyboard, which was installed after this happened in the hope it would hide the word suggestion, but no such luck
Anyone? Anything?
Really want to sort this, but need assistance!
Try going to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip. If you have the key 'suggwords', change it from 4 to 0. You may need to soft reset. There are many other settings that can be tweaked in there as well. You could just change 4 to 2, so the suggestion panel doesn't take up as much real estate. Still, it will occasionally obscure a control, which is annoying.
Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted.
I knew someone would know!
Many thanks.
