i found sometimes it is very hard to bring out the input selection menu by touching the small arrow on bottom of the screen... Not sure it is problem of my device or not. but as i said, when i need to change input method i have to touch the arrow several time to see the selection menu. so i'm wondering if there's a shortcut key for change input method?
yes i have the same confuse
why all the arrow button is so small in wm OS
iphone's touch button is big ,so i can use my hand easy
wm should learn iphone
Are you specifically talking about the unresponsiveness - lag when you hit that small button. Takes about 5 secs to bring the menu up? I heard there was a registry fix for it some where but never tried it. You can search for it.
If you are talking about the button being small and hard to hit, then I don't know how to help you there. Perhaps you can link a command to pop open that menu and then map that command to a hardware button? Do you switch SIPs a lot?
yes, it is the unresponse, it is frustrating...
i 'll search for the registry fix.
In that case here's one thread that mentions a registry fix for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301433
Read through it, try it and post your results if it works or not. Note one user mentioned they had to HR, so backup just in case.
thank you hambola, it really works. that registry fix is like a magic
Hey fellow XDA-ers.
I hope that in this thread we can unite in finding a solution for the annoying t9 input mehod, without breaking the hardware keyboard.
What's the problem:
I want to get rid of the annoying black t9 input and autocomplete bar, and use the standard WM6.1 version.
What anoys me the most is when you type an address for sending text, you start by typing first name of for instance friends who share a first name, but have different last names, , as soon as you hit space for the lastname, the person with the first name that's on top of the list gets selected..ARG
I also hate the lag it introduces.
So getting rid of the black ezinput part of the keyboard.
This can be done by replacing the eT9 values in your registry at the layout to COMP (et9IME replace by compIME and so on) and this works for soft keyboard.
However, this "fix" breaks some stuff in your hardware keyboard (the SYM key for instance stops working, also you cannot get the euro sign or the pund sign by pressing fn E or fn W)
I of course want the best of both worlds, and especially miss the sym button for getting a "\" whilst typing in shortcuts
So, I have tried so much, but haven't found a solution yet.
Does anybody know how to get this "best of both worlds" option?
Does opening up the on-screen keyboard and hitting the T9 --> ABC switch help?
nope
It doesn't use autocomplete then when typing text, but you still get the black bar at the bottom whilst entering an address, and the space-issue (filling in word after space) is introduced.
I just want the behaviour as when eT9 replaced by comp (ei. you get a couple of suggestion in your screen in light grey boxes, in stead of on bottom bar in black) but with FULL use of my hardware keyboard.
I want to do this without installing all kinds of secondary software that slows my device down, but want to solve it at the root.
Hope I am explaining the problem clearly
But thanks for the reply..
Maybe we can figure it out..
known problem
I've done the t9 compIME registry change and to me, is a must. That black bar was SO annoying and decreased effectiveness.
I have noticed the hardware keyboard does get screwy after doing this.
Using Da_G's roms, he has solved most of the problems in some of his earlier roms. I think the only problem I have currently is a non-working "cent" sign (FN+_). I'll test this again after I flash to his latest Rom.
I think he solves this by implementing SOME of the t9 files. I'll follow up with more accurate results.

If that's the case, making a cab, or posting the necesary files to replace would be ideal.
Does your SYM key work?
sounds like a very good start
I had this same annoying error
I managed to get it to go away by
sliding out the keyboard
whilst pressing the green FN button hit the spacebar.
This brings up a small menu, select
ABC and bingo, its sorted.

Tnx for your input Steve.
I allready have that set up, but as you will find, it does not get rid of the black bar during txt msgs to field input, if you know what I mean.
It also gives lag on the hardware keyboard input comapred to the comp ide input method, which I find anoying.
What I really want is just the old wm input and auto complete feature without breaking my keyboard.
but as said before, thanks for the input.
This way we can narrow it down and hopefully make the problem easier to understand.
Ta...
tried editing sym files
Tried editing and replacing the txt files in windows directory,
eT9.Raphael.0409.kmap.txt and eT9DeadKeys.txt and renamint the et9 to comp, no luck.
Anybody any suggestions?

It get's rid of the black bar whilst typing a text, however whilst typing an adress in the to field, you will notice that you still get a black bar and proposed name in the bottom of your screen.
This is actually eT9 still running, and slowing down your input, trust me on this
The "old" way, you'd get the proposed names next to your to field, in a light grey box, and you could scroll through them and use the space bar without getting it to autocomplete.
I normally type the first few letters of the persons name, and then use the left and right arrow keys to gp through the matching contacts. That does the trick for me
indeed

It does the trick and it is how I use it now.
It's just not the solution I am looking for.
I'm a bit wierd in that way, if I see it poping up, I know it's there and it just annoys me...
Don't you just love the way things were before
But thanks for the tip.
No luck here yet
I haven't had any luck yet, anybody else?
This issue is really starting to bug me
Any luck yet with removing the T9 Black bar? I am having this problem as well.
Me too!
i want the old way with the little grey box, it was so much better. It gave a number of people when you typed in a user name for sms and it also gave better autocomplete options.
Solve for all us
Try attached CAB guys from our famous Russian PDA professional. It's remove this bar completely.
yes it worked for me on Touch HD perfectly
Works

TY it completely rocks on Touch HD.
Does this just disable T9 on the hardware keyboard? AND, when entering a contact into sms or email you get the grey list like before?
What about T9 for soft keypad/boards? How does it function now?
I stumbled upon your thread while searching for "disable t9 hardware keyboard".
I have the same problem on my Kaiser... Installed ezinput keypad/board and now have that 'damn' black bar. I'm getting used to it like 'GaZ' but dont really like it...
<<<UPDATE: Only selected abc over t9. Black bar still there.>>>>
use different sip
im not sure if this help but wasnt this issue introduced with the diamond sip set? maybe using different sips might get rid of it. or maybe replacing the new eT9 and using the old wm6 t9 instead in wm6.1 roms. just a thought
Does anyone know of any browsers that either have the ability to "bind" keys, or have directional buttons?
What I need to do is mimic the left and right arrow keys found on a normal keyboard.
I know there are a few keyboard apps that have these, but the problem is the page I need to use this on doesnt have a text box so the keyboard 1. does not pop up, and 2. does not interpret the arrows correctly.
Basically the page Im trying to do this on is a flash based page where you press either the left or right arrow key to get your next assignment. There are no visual "next" and "back" buttons on the page, which is making this really hard!
I just tried this app, and set my search key to "dpad left" and it didnt work in the browser... Maybe its not possible, idk.
Can someone please help me?
I have a rather specific issue with the keyboard dock that is a bit of an annoyance. Here's how the issue comes up:
1. With the keyboard dock attached, open the YouTube app and watch a video.
2. In the search box of the video screen, type anything that has a space in it (example: "Asus Transformer")
3. The "Asus" bit shows up in the search box, but when I hit the space key, the first "Related video" is highlighted and I am unable to type any further.
The only solution I have so far is to toggle the "Use physical keyboard" option to "Off" and type using the on-screen keyboard.
Am I the only one with this issue?

I had experienced this as well. My solution used to toggle On/Off of the physical keyboard. But I had come to realize that this can be easily rectified. You just need to go back to the very 1st page to type in your search. Seems that the keyboard issue only surface when u have gone through multiple search pages (3 or more). Try my solution & let us know the outcome.
Thanks for reading.

Yeah, that's always worked for me as well, but it's just annoying to go all the way back sometimes.
I am new to this device and am having some issues
I loaded some apps on it and now I am unable to get the key board up. The hand writing works and the hand writing recognition to text work but I can't seem to find the keyboard.
I wish there was a place to go to get a full tutorial on how to use the device as well.
any help would be appreciated.
If you are using the default keyboard, then in the script mode, you should see an icon that looks like a keyboard on the left side of the space bar. Tap it and you should be switched to the keyboard screen. If you long press it then you will see 3 icons pop up one for voice one for toggling between keyboard and script and the last one for settings.
