Gingerbread keyboard - HTC Sensation

Strange issues: downloaded gingerbread keyboard from market, installed OK, selected it as input source, edited some settings but when i need to write something the old HTC keyboard pops up?
How come i can't see/use the new keyboard?
Tried also with the bluishLatinIME APK from themes section...installed ok but doesn't pop up.
Any ideas why?
Thanks!

Long press on text field - Input method - select your keyboard
¤Violets are red,
Roses are blue,
Wait, what?
I have no idea what I'm saying,
But you lost the game¤

Anyone knows how to remove this black banner
When i type a recipientname i only get one name and this black banner
also with the message i type
disable xt9 and word suggestion
I did disabled the word completion, bud where to complete disable te xt9 ?
input methode => touch keyboard => i remove the checkbox there
Weird thing is, it doesn't show up every time you use the keyboard. In one screen it does and in the other screen it doesn't (or I'm blind).
The settings you changed should work I think.. lemme see:
start -> settings -> input -> *select 'Touch keyboard' from list* -> options -> XT9 settings.
In the XT9 settings you can turn off word completion etc.
However, I'm not sure if that also turns it off for the normal keyboard. I would assume it does, but you know what they say about assumptions eh
After this regtweak
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\
and change the key "XT9SupportMSSip" from value "1" to "0"
The black banner bellow is gone for keyboard input, the input sms recipients its still there and have only one name instead of the hole list with email names.
Try this. Will Disable xt9
Works great thanks
I have exactly the opposite problem - Word Completion doesn't work at all even though I set ip up several times in the "Input" menu (in "Settings").
Any suggestions??
Thanks.

Does that also disable T9 for the Touch Keyboard and Keypad?
Hi, I tried this CAB file and it works for the DUAL. May be you guys can give it a try. I got it from the HTC website. Good Luck!
Hi, I've also been irritated by the new XT9 on my HTC Touch Cruise. I have managed to stop the XT9 black bar coming up when using the standard jeyboard, but how do I get the original windows word suggestion to come back up? I have become very fast at using the windows word suggestion on my old HTC Artemis and like how it suggests a word but does not replace the one you're typing before you click on the suggestion.

I would like to know this aswell, I become very fond of this on my Orbit 1 (artemis) and liked that it learned words that you used frequently.
Exactly, I had the Orbit 1 and have now upgraded to the Orbit 2. The way it learned words was great, but it didn't interfere with what you were typing. I'd rather it assumed I was correct and let me choose when to go with it's suggestion.
Ah ha! I have managed to rid myself of the XT9 and get the nice old native pocket pc word suggestion back!
I installed PocketCM Keyboard. That's it.
As I was typing on the new keybaord I noticed word suggestions coming up as well as the PocketCM Keyboard suggestions. I then swithced back to the standard keybaord and the classic word suggestion was back! I went into word suggestion options and changed it to my favourite settings and hey presto, it's working as good as the old one was. It also gives me the nice standard list of contacts when typing a name into my SMS 'to' field. Fantastic.
I don't know if it was a fluke or if it would happen every time you install PocketCM Keyboard, try it out. I don't know if you can get the XT9 back though, and the XT9 doesn't work for the touch keyaord and keypad now either rendering them practically useless, so be warned.
I also haven't reset the phone since this discovery so i don't know if it's permanent, but, crossed fingers...

How I can completely swich off Touch keyboard and Touch keypad?

I don't know of any way to switch off the touch keybaord and keypad, but you can switch to another keyboard easily enough. If it's the black bar with predictive text in it you can switch it off pressing the XT9/ABC button on the touch keyboard, then using the keyboard of your choice. However this does not replace the XT9 predictive tet with the old style word prediction. The only way I found to do that was to install PCM Keyboard. I don't know why that reactivated the old style word prediction but it did.
Also, in addition to my previous post, i have reset my phone a number of times and the old style word predition has stayed. It seems to be a permanent solution, even if i don't know why it works.
I hope that helped.

Thanks Swidge. You are awesome!
noooo....
i have the reverse matter
i want to display that black banner....but the version of HTC Keypad+Keyboard I've installed won't do that....
arggggg...
someone can suggest me an htc keypad+keyboard cab with this black banner???
plese i need it

This is driving me mental! How do you turn off autocomplete with keyboard??

I have deselected it under settings / input. But it still tries to fill in bloody words for me when i am using a keyboard with all the keys i need! What the hell is it trying to do? I find it physically impossible to type anything without it constantly putting in random words!!! AHHH!!!!
Ok. I'm ok. Any ideas?
Haha no clue, but it does get annoying. I'll keep an eye on this thread and look through the user manual to see if I find anything.
Open the on-screen keyboard, tap the little arrow next to it then select "Touch Input Settings"
Clear the tick for Spell Correction and your problem should be solved
I've just been pressing FN + Space, and choosing "ABC" from the menu.

Is Swype enabled under your "Language & Keyboard" settings? If so, long press on any text field and a dialog box should pop up then select "Input Method" to switch to Swype.

once you check mark it in the settings menu, open a text message and hold your finger down in the area in which you would type the message. when you let go, there will be an "Input method" button that pops up. Select that, then choose the gingerbread keyboard from the list that pops up

[solved] Special characters

I feel really stupid for asking this, but how do I type special characters like / on the physical keyboard? Its labelled yellow on the same key as P, but I have yet to figure out how to actually type it. I would have thought it should be the yellow arrow key + P, but that doesn't work. I selected English US as the keyboard layout.
EDIT: it works if I deselect all keyboard layouts. However, if I do that, I keep getting a notification to select a layout.
You should try out FinQwerty. This app brings much better keyboard layouts, which you can select after installation.
Thanks, very useful!

In the Default layout you press & hold the Arrow key next to the left control key to get the yellow characters.

Yup same here, but after a few times it asks do you want to block the notification.
Thank you so much. I got the German Keyboardlayout working with lineage now )
