Does anybody know of a tweak/hack or program that will allow the following:
When entering text I typically use the phone keypad with XT9 enabled. When I get to a word that isn’t recognised, I’d like to be able to automatically (or with one toggle) convert the keyboard to QWERTY with XT9 disabled.
For example the current button that switches between XT9 and ABC could automatically switch to phonekeypad when ‘XT9’ is selected and full QWERTY when ‘ABC’ is selected. Similarly, when you get to an unrecognised word and hit the + sign to enter a new word in the dictionary, it would be far more user friendly if QWERYT automatically opened when inputting the word, and switched back to phone keypad XT9 once you fnished.
I realise that this may seem particularly lazy, but I really think it would help the ergonomics. It’s quite hard to switch to no dictionary and then hit that small arrow with your fingernail to bring up the change the input method options.
Any ideas?

I've tried every possible trivk and hack, nothing worked! Soft keyboard is not activating "Auto Complete" in any way. I only experience the T9 auto completion but not the usual keyboard.
Is there a bug with T9 or some kinda conflict?
as already been here once and also in the diamond forum, There is no standard auto complete on the handset. The settings are there, cos they are built in to windows mobile, but no dictionary has been added.
the only word completion is using t9!
Hi,
a question about text messages.
Can anyone tell how I automatically get the mobile number in the "to" line? Is it "to" in the English version? In the German it is "an".
I hope you understand what I mean.
In my Vario II I just hit a key and from the contacts the number is automatically filled into the line.
Whatever I tried so far I am not able to do the same in the Raphael.
Thanks for your help.
S.
Just start typing the name of your desired contact, and WM will suggest? Then choose and voila, number is there.
autocomplete for soft keyboard/block recognizer is disabled due to t9. in order to use, you must disable t9.
to disable t9, use something like Advanced Config tool or KaiserTweak or something similar. On the list, look for xt9, and disable and exit. Power off phone and after soft reset, your autocomplete will show when writing some text.
I guess this was a typical solution...

Thanks anyways.
I've disabled all of the auto-correct and suggestion SIP options on the TP and that works great, HOWEVER (heh, heh)...
Is there any way to turn off that annoying "what-you're-typing-preview" that always appears on-screen as you type? It is such a waste of screen real estate.
Do you know what I mean? I'll explain...
For example:
Code:
PREVIEW STYLE 1
1. Start a new text message.
2. Pop out your physical keyboard
3. Start typing!
You will see what you type appear in a little "preview window" at the bottom of your screen.
Now here's the REALLY annoying one...
Code:
PREVIEW STYLE 2
1. Open an existing SMS message (threaded view)
2. Pop out your physical keyboard
3. Start typing...
You will see the preview appear *above* your text this time. Even MORE annoying since it's taking up real estate in the typing area this time around.
I've been scrounging for a solution to this and really hope one exists.
Thanks for everything, guys!
press ctrl + space and choose abc
Thank-you VERY MUCH, Brendo!
I thought that I had already done this but I realize now that it was probably in my dreams.
(YES -- I dream about my TP -- don't lie -- YOU DO, TOO!!!).
Lol.
Take care.
Hi Guys, probably very silly of me, but 'choose abc'. Do we have a 'abc' button? I can't seem to find out what you mean with this. Also pressing cntrl + space and typing abc does nothing (obviously). Help me. I also find the typing preview window quite annoying, especially since I have been so happy to be able to turn the auto correct options off.
It can be found on the SIP - pop up keyboard, providing you have "full keyboard", phone keyboard etc selected and not the windows default keyboard. You will see a button marked ABC->T9. Make sure T9 is not selected.
Gee thnx ardsar, this was clear and worked. Indeed I had to change the layout of my pop up keyboard, as I hardly ever use it and had it in the default keyboard mode.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU (yes, I'm shouting )
If there was anything that pissed me off on this phone, it was the goddamn useless preview!
Why do they expect that you're a retard, if you bought HTC phone? I thought these phones were for smart people
That's kool that it will take the dialog away but while I'm in programs it still types the letters in the background and causes them to skip. Is there any way to disable the typing of keys in the background while still reading the keystrokes. Let's say I'm using PocketNES while I'm in the game it reads the hardware keyboard as typing letters when I'm not trying to type any message. I would just like to use the letters as buttons instead. Hopefully someone has found a solution to the problem!
Found this cause I was having same problem...passing it along
To fix the Word Completion function on my Sprint HTC Touch Pro. It turns out the problem has to do with the installation of the new Full QWERTY keyboard that came with the ROM upgrade. My Word Completion was not working in Block Recognizer, the original Keyboard or the Letter Recognizer UNTIL I did this simple fix.. Here is how to do it:
* After confirming that you have the box checked for "Suggest words when entering text" in the Word Completion tab found in Settings>Input.
* Open up a new email or text message.
* Go to the bottom of the screen and change your letter input method to Full QWERTY (using the down arrow next to the "pencil", "keyboard" , etc. icon).
* In the bottom left hand corner of this Full QWERTY keyboard, just to the right of CAPS/shift button, is a button to toggle between T9 and ABC.
* Click the button and make sure that T9 appears below ABC. Apparently the opposite appears as a default setting.
* Switch back to Block Recognizer, Keyboard or Letter Recognizer and Word Completion should be active for you!
when using the keyboard this is not working . . .
Doesn't work for me either
I can't even get T9 to work with the full QWERTY keyboard...
If you install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2914474&postcount=8
Then you can get the old fashion word completion back on your Touch pro BUT it only works for the regular keyboards (not the new Touch Pro or Compact QWERTY Keyboard) Happy tappy would work with this. You need yo soft reset after installing this.
It will put you back on the old format with the old dictionary and auto complete and auto correct...but no more pretty keyboard...
What about auto complete with the harware keyboard
Still doesn't work with the hardware keyboard, any ideas?

Word Completion
Same problem here, not getting word completion when typing, even though I have it turned on. I would like a fix for this.
Does anyone have word completion working?
James
word completion
was anyone able to find a fix? i have the fuze and my word completion is turned on but not working.
It does work for the physical keyboard but you still need the onscreen keyboard set to either Happy Tapping or the standard windows keyboard. it cannot be set to Full QWERTY. Also, a soft reset is required since the dictionaries go into the ROM on resets...
Whats goin on
Whats going on man!!!
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this stupid problem
I have word completion working on inputs all except the full qwerty and compact.
It works when you backspace after a few letters???
Please help someone
I seem to have an opposite problem with word completion. When I type in an email or sms, the word suggestion forces me to use its word. The change gets made automatically. Usually the word replaced is not what I wanted. I have tried unchecking the word suggestion/correction and made similar choices in Advanced Config. How can I stop this forced word replacement? Is there a registry hack that would stop this for good?
it is not working , any solutions

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same problem with me.
Does anyone know of a tweak, hack or app that would do the following:
I want to be able to switch more easily between Phone keypad entry with XT9 enabled and QWERTY in ABC mode.
What I mean is that when you come across a word not in the dictionary it’s pretty fiddly to change to ABC and then use your fingernail to call up the change input method screen to QWERTY. I’d like to be able to hit the XT9/ABC toggle and have it automatically switch from Phone keypad to QWERTY at the same time. Another good use would be if you’re merrily typing away in XT9 phone keypad mode and hit the ‘+’ to add a new word to the dictionary – it would be cool if it changed momentarily to QWERTY to allow you to enter the word and then shifted back into XT9/Phone Keypad automatically when finished.
I know it sounds lazy, but I really think this would make the text input much more ergonomic.
Any ideas?
no-one? Seriously?
I wonder is this in the wrong forum??
*bumpety bump*
google nusipstylus.
that will do the trick.
When you pull out the stylus you can enter on a full keyboard and when you put the stylus back in you get the htc keyboard.
here it is...
Hi
Thanks a million for the response.
However, I've found that app made my device agonisingly slow.
In any case, I think this is somewhat of a retrograde step. I was actually after someone to mod the HTC keyboards to just allow a quick toggle between XT9 and ABC that would default back after you hit the space key.
I really appreciate you taking the time to send me the .cab, but I'm afraid it's not quite what I was looking for.
Hi everybody!
I'm actually using Dutty's HolyGrail R1 Rom for topaz, and for a long time (since original rom) I've been looking for a way to get rid of all the autocomplete and xT9 services on my TD2. The only thing I want is to freely type whatever I want without any kind of suggestions or corrections . I've tried the Advanced Configuration Tools to tweak this unsuccessfully. Does anyone knows how to do it?
Why not pressing the little XT9/ABC button on your device's keyboard and put the device in ABC mode? In that mode the topaz displays exactly whatever you type..
yea but this does not disable button, i want to disable button that it will be always in ABC mode, even if i press that button again, something like keyboard look when you type "To:" field (XT9 ABC) button is disabled...
Hi there
Have you tried using the Text Input Settings that you can find if you touch the Up arrow next to the Text Input Selector available whenever you can input text, ie, SMS or email entry?
You get a pop up menu which has Text Input Settings as an option. If you select that you get an options dialog that has a heading 'XT9 Settings' one of which is 'Word Completion (XT9)' with an On/Off slider button. Toggle this to Off and you should find that when the keyboard is presented you are now set in ABC mode with no option to toggle into XT9 mod.
Should point out that I am running a standard ROM with Manila 2.1.
Hope that helps?
