Situation is:
Phone One: HTC Touch running Danish O/S Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Phone Two: HTC Cruise running English O/S Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1623 (build 18129.0.4.5)
Word completion on #1 appears as a list of words above the keyboard (much nicer - not least because it works!)
Word completion on #2 appears as a black bar above the keyboard.
On #1 word completion works and it stores and suggests my words (except words containing any of the Danish letters, but that's ok).
On #2 I have tried to un-check all options concerning auto completion but I have not managed to get rid of the black bar - it appears no matter the settings. Actually, I'm not even sure this black bar is a word completion tool. I don't know what it is cause it does not seem to serve any useful purpose (apart from taking up space on the screen). It never suggests any words, but only copies whatever I'm writing, sometimes in two versions: one with a small starting letter and one with a capital starting letter. If I tap the x I get a label "Add My Word". If I enter something I don't see that it's added anywhere, cause it never suggests this word if I start typing it again. I have conducted all these little tests with both English and Danish words (without the special characters, though) cause I have no idea in which language the dictionary is.
But... I could live without any word-completion. Thing is, the black bar has another and worse problem that I can't live with: It does not recognize one of the Danish characters "å". The other two "æø" work fine.
When entering a word with the unrecognized letter - like "håb" (Hope) - the Danish character is not appearing in the black bar and the resulting word in the application in which I'm writing is "åHb". The Danish character is always placed at the beginning of the word it is a part of.
That was the background info. Questions are:
Does anyone know to turn off this annoying black bar?
and
Does anyone recognize the letter-switching-"feature" and know of a solution?
Late breaking news
Ok, so I'm talking to myself ... but who knows - if someone else experience something like or is equally confused about input settings, perhaps this might help them, too.
I have tried to find out more about the "black bar" and come to realize these "late breaking news":
Options/Settings relating to the Keyboard (Keyboard/Word Completion tab) has no effect on anything.
The black bar is related to the Touch Keyboard and appears even if the Touch keyboard is not the selected input method and even if word completion (and all other "typing assistance" functions) is turned off for the Touch Keyboard.
Turning on Word Completion in Options/XT9 Settings for the Touch Keyboard also affects typing with the Keyboard.
Thus, turning on Word Completion for the Touch Keyboard and using the Keyboard as input method, word completion actually works and it is possible to add words - even words containing the two (out of three) Danish characters that work.
So, word completion as such works (allthough it seems that the settings and effects of these settings are kind of mixed up and criss-crossing between the various input methods) but the one Danish character still does not work - it is still placed at the beginning of the word it is in, as described in the first post.
To remove the annoying BLACK BAR...

oops wrong post.

hi guys.great forum.
i have a simple problem.hope u can help.
since i installed slide to answer and the black dialer the numbers in my smartdialing are gone.
i mean when the names come up after typing with the keyboard u can't see the numbers by ussing the down arrow.
i could do this before instaling slide to answer.
There has been much discussion on this site regarding typing Right to Left languages like Hebrew and Arabic. After many hours of research I have not found any solutions with a softkey to change the direction of the text flow similar to the icon on a destop. From all that I saw it seems that even when the letters are aligned correctly from RTL still the cursor would be on the wrong side (in front of the last letter that was typed), and this makes it dificult when deleting what one wrote or when adding something in the middle of the text, since the cursor does not show where the letter will realy go.
I have Eyron Hebrew support installed on my ipaq running ppc 2003se, and here is an image of a softkey for changing the direction of the text flow.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone can tell me how to create such a key to work with other keyboards, on a Vogue or another smartphone running wm 6.5 or 6.1. Eyron's program does not work with 6.5 and besides their keyboard has tiny keys so that's realy not an option.
Thanks!
Hello
I'm newbie using the toucpro and i installed wm65 build 23009 with no problems during install and starting up, but when I open the keyboard for creating a sms and try to use the green fn-key the phone always opens the calender, could this have anything to with that i want to use the T9 function, but evrytime i press the "fn-key" the phone opens up the calender no matter whats on the display, i cant add any sign like %&$() using the slideout keyboard.
Pls give me a hint what to do.
hi, I was looking for answer on forum but i dont even know what to looking for so I post new thread...
I have in my TP EnergyROM with Coockie and Sense 2.5 from march 8 and I reinstalled EzInput 1.5 keyboards with polish lang pack cab...
my problem is that when i go into people->all people/add favourite->search field and start typing I'm kind of lost focus on first character - it marks itself and in a moment it unmark, then when i press another letter key it type automaticaly 2 characters at once and then unmark again - on text field is now 3 chars but i only tap on 2 keys?!?!?!?
example, to imagine what am I talking about:
1. in text field press "k"
k
2. then i press "o"
kkm
I use "phone kyboard" (and i really want to use this keyboard and not qwerty) with t9,
but when I disable t9 it does another stupid trick - I tap twice to get "k" [jkl] and he gives me jk in text field ?? :/
I also disable all t9/word completion/substitution in Input Options and in "Phone Keyboard" Options - reboot and still same behavior
when I am writing sms message or in the notepad there is no such behavior
and there is no such behavior when making appointments or typing in Internet serach text field....
I have also installed FingerKeyboard2 if this is important....
btw. sorry for my bad english...
