hi,
I am developing windows mobile application using c++ with visual studio.
In qwerty phones I am not getting correct/desired ascii values for the key pressed, so I opened up IME to my application tht do solved my problem related to getting correct ascii values to the keys but it also enabled my t9 mode to the application even when i choosed abc mode for the application and tht resulted in suggestion box being poped up which is really not desirable . Wt can I do to remove this suggestion box or better one will be how to remove t9 mode for the application.
Regards,

This question is for WiMo Standard developers. I am a Windows .NET developer willing to learn more of this platform if you guys think this is doable and relatively simple.
Do you think it's possible and would you say it's relatively easy to implement a "dormant" application (in the Windows desktop world, this would be a service or any other type of TSR application) that intercepts keystrokes (interrupts?) and sends to the OS another keystroke defined in some sort of mapping configuration?
What I'd like to have (or be able to build) is an application that will intercept a keystroke like Fn+A while typing text and type á (or Á, depending on whether I'm writing in lower or uppercases). If I don't release Fn, but press A again within a second or so, then replace that previous letter by à (or À) and then by â (or Â), etc. Just toggle through all the foreign characters that resemble the letter A (configurable through a GUI or even a configuration file) until the Fn key (or Ctrl, etc., depending on the device) is released. Most QWERTY WiMo phones do this, but not all and the Samsung BlackJack II (i617) is an example. That is really my biggest complain with this phone and I'd love to overcome it.
Keep in mind that, although this may seem like an easy task at first, there are many things to take into consideration. For example:
- The application should only work when the device is accepting text input, not when it's in the home screen, a menu, etc.
- The application should be able to handle more than one mapping per key combination.
- The application should be able to delete the previously written character if Fn was not released and the second key was pressed again and a new mapping was found (á, backspace, à, backspace, â, release Fn, done!).
- The application should be able to determine whether the next letter was supposed to be lower or uppercase and return the correct character.
- The application should become friendly with T9 if enabled (or disable itself if T9 is enabled; I personally wouldn't care, since I always disable T9).
TIA for your feedback!
Hello,
is there a way to enter unicode characters that are not displayable into an application?
I've got problems with an RDP Application that accepts and transmits unicode input. But on the other side of the RDP my windows server 2003 machine expects windows-1252 input. So I thought if the app developer doesn't integrate support for different codepages I could get around the problem by sending two windows-1252 characters as one unicode character with the same binary representation. (For example 0xe466 in unicode would be äf in windows-1252)
I'd also love to see a way to switch the codepage, but I doubt that this would be possible without access to the applications sourcecode.
Thank you in advance.
I am using a Samsung SCH-i760 with Windows Mobile 6.1. On this phone, I installed this T9 Program that works well. However, I noticed on the suggestions list for the number 1, there are no parentheses. It has pretty much any other commonly used symbol (. ? !, etc.) except the open and close parentheses. Is there a way to edit this program to have it include parentheses?
There is a bug with special characters and the Windows Phone Auto Completion / Correction in Whatsapp and maybe other 3rd party apps.
To reproduce the bug you have to set the Phone to German language. The bug happens when you try to write a word with a special character like: ä ö ü ß which are very common in German language.
I will do a example with the word "Geräte":
1. Enter Whatsapp and start writing a message
2. Type in "Gerä"
3. If your language is set to German "Geräte" will show up in the auto completion band
4. Click "Geräte" on the auto completion band and you will end up with "Geräteä" which is false
If you type in only "Gera" without the special character the auto completion band will also offer you the word "Geräte".
Now if you press it, it will end up correct. So it is clearly a bug with the special characters ä ö ü ß.
I'm not sure if this happens with other languages that are using different special characters.
I'm also not sure if this is a common Windows Phone bug or a special Whatsapp bug. It only happens in 3rd party apps like Whatsapp, if you write a SMS or a email it will work correctly.
I posted a bug report on the Windows Phone 7 Support page.

If you can reproduce the bug please vote for this question to raise awareness of this bug.
It happens to me all the time, also happens in rowi for me.
I'm a spanish user and everytime I write a word with a "ñ" or any non american letter(á, é, í, ó...) the correction writes itself after the frament of word I've written.
I would like to have a fix for that but I think it may be a problem of the 3rd party apps.
A Windows Phone Developer answered already:
This is a known problem in Windows Phone that will be fixed in an upcoming update.

So it's not a problem with 3rd Party apps it's a bug in WP7, and
Microsoft already knows about it.
Anyway keep voting, showing Microsoft how important it is to fix this bug.
It is really annoying and seems to occur in all languages with special characters.
You can also contact them on Twitter @WinPhoneSupport. I already told them some Problems about the autocorrection. But the more people report, the sooner this will be fixed.
Hi, I brought the G100 for the useful Ready For (desktop mode) feature.
I tried multiple apps and it's really easy to use
Advice : Opera has a default desktop mode ; I disable auto open link to keep in the browser instead of auto open the corresponding app (Google Drive, docs, sheet, youtube...) ; Parsec gaming is realy good to control my PC remotely when I need more features.
Anyway, the only problem right now is my physical keyboard. I'm French and the disposition is not right.
It's in azerty mode : that's good
But all other keys (1..0 &@!?:;.....) are placed like in qwerty mode. It's hard to write, especially for the accents éèà...
I tried 2 keyboards : logitech K800 with the dongle plug in a hub ; and a bluetooth keyboard given by my internet service provider.
I hope my question is clear.
Thank you
Clément
When you plug in a physical keyboard, there should be an option in your notifications about the physical keyboard, you should be able to make changes that way, or in the phone's settings.

Thanks, I can change the layout but the French keyboard or wrong (I don't know the other languages).
I ask in the Lenovo forum and as a bug report for Android 11 too. It seems to be an issue with Android 11.
Last news : "I'm happy to report that we will have improvements coming in a future software update. I don't have the timing, but it's coming."
I posted a comment on the Lenovo forum and there will be an update...
It's fixed with the last update
Hi, where do you "plug in" the keyboard??
