[Q] phone keypad download for x10

hi guys.
i appologise if this has already been done but i'm female and blonde and always nedd idiots guide to do things. soon i'm getting a x10 second hand. can't wait. played with it and loved it. the only thing i'm not keen on is the text imput of qwerty keyboard. i prefer the bog standard phone one. have seen the htc_ime.apk download but was told by carphone warehouse this would not work due to theoftware. to be honest i'd rather take the advise of you guys as you know more about what your doing. my phone is unlocked but prob not rooted and don't want to root it as more likely to stuff it up with being blonde asnd all.can anyone help me as want to be prepared for when it arrives early next week.
thanks look forward to your help and advice.

Firstly congratualtions on being blonde and female lol.

Sign up for this and pray they re release it because its suppose to be the bees knees, unless anyone else knows how to get it?

yes prob something normal people don't admit. thanks. their site is closed but when i sign up they will advise when open again. great will still welcome any other ideas as not only blode and female but now abnormal!!!!!!

I have trouble too. I think they design them for nimble fingered kids. For me the android keypad is awefull, i use the se one which easier. Not to worry, and welcome to the site

totally agree. don't exactly have fat fingers but so use to the old way. had x1 and managed to get the blackstone keypad which was great. but also told by carphone warehouse this would not work. was told there was some kind of text bundle app that had loads of choices of all sorts but can't find that either. thanks this is a great site and will enjoy using it. learning lots already. hopefully will soon be a competent blonde female.

Yes, it is too small for me too. I use HTC keypad and only used to the phone keypad and not Qwerty keypad.

Install the HTC_ime, as the guy at CPW doesn'#t know what he's talking about. Runs perfect on mine.

that's what i thought when he said it. it actually suggests it on a sony website. and great they even have step by step instructions. all a bit premature as still won't have phone til tues, but v v v v excited, can't wait and want to be prepared. thanks.

Personally, i dislike swype and htc_ime keyboards... The one im using it and which i love it is the Swift Key Beta from the market and its free
i love it. perfect for big hands like mine
do give it a try.
but if u still wana use swype here it is the .apk attached
enjoy
tc

I'm giving it a try now. Seems old so far, quick input too. Didn't realise some of these keyboard apps we're also key loggers.
Fast input tho.

Just downloaded it too. Very weird but pretty good. Another addition to my keyboard collection. Thank you.

i see alot about this handsent. its actually a free app on android market but is it any good? seems to do everything bar putting the kettle on.

i personally use the htc keyboard. tried swype and didnt like it. The stock android keyboard is okay, a lot better then SE's version of it.

Hey, when i downloaded the .apk and uploaded it and installed it on my phone using FileManager, i cant see the Swype app anywhere on my phone. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Go to Prefences and then scroll down until you se Search and click that above Search i dont know how its Named in English maybe Local and Text or somthing like that becouse my X10 is English and then you can select Swype then go to a SMS and click on Write and when the Keyboard is showing hold the left Button down named 12 or something like that then a Window opens then select input Method and then Swype. Sorry for my English i am from Austria and i forgot couple Words so i picked Google Translate for the Words that i forgot.

In my opinion, Swype is probably the best when it comes to typing things quick (I've gotten really use to it and I love it!).
...But it does lag once in a while...
PS- Welcome to the site. BTW Blonds are hot... I wish i was blond...

Hi, anyone using TOUCHPAL ?its pretty good too, IMO. There's a chinese kybd version but u can use it to type english perfectly

hey tell app for htc hd 2

my cousin just showed me this app for the iphone called hey tell. its a voicemail text app, instead of texting you say a brief sentence and sending like atext and its just as fast as a regular text.also they can do the same. just wanted to know if they have a similar app for the hd 2.

I'm not familiar with hey tell, but Android has voice to text throughout the OS. You can voice to text SMS. Voice to text searches, etc. Of course it goes the other way too with text to voice so that it speaks turn by turn directions.
Android on the HD2 is getting very stable and useable now. It's been my primary OS for many weeks now.

Its called Tellme (see it here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKWjPONWl_c)
This can crash your phone so install latest microsoft voice command MSVC, it worked on and off for me so gave it the flick but others give it the thumbs up so each to their own.

I dont recomment using that app, can really brick your phone.

Thanx willgill but i never really messed android on my hd2, too scared to mess it up lol. I just did little things like cht sense 2.5, and cht editor. I've been wanting to try to install android but I dont know where to begin, and I dont wanna mess up my phone.
As for the Tellme app, thanx guyz but not really like the heytell app. this is almost like nextel push to talk. Thank you guys for your advice. As for android lol when i get comfortable. Sorry I had a link from youtube, but they didnt allow me to post it because

Dude man up already! If you can do cht you can do android with your eyes closed. Its really not that hard and because it runs from your sd card there's really nothing that can brick your phone. Once you go android you will not give WinMo a second thought. Trust me. The latest builds of droid are just as if not more stable than my WinMo setup. Battery drain is the only issue for me right now (it's not really that bad but it's not quite as good as WinMo atm) but once we get a nand version this should get better.

lol can you help a fellow user to the right direction of where to begin. So atleast ill see the process of how to begin. I am insterested in trying out android, would invite the challenge, and probably could do it with my eyes closed. Again thank you

don't know how this app can brick a phone, its made for WM.
i do have the Tellme app and is wotrking great, and didn't have to download anything to make it work

Android isn't that hard, as long as you know how to hspl unlock your phone, flash a custom ROM and a proper radio. Nothing to it at all for a noob....
Maybe that's why we NEVER see threads that start "help me, I think I bricked my phone!!!"

I found out howto put android on my phone, out is simple its like updating your rom from tmobile. so im going to try that when I get home, hopefully nothing happens to my phone. I already downloaded everything I need, so wish me good luck guy s, thanx allod your for your help and advice.

I just want to let you guys know I got it baby finally got android working. Thank you all for your help and patience.

So what's the deal with the unresponsive screens?

Is this a hardware or software issue? It's pretty annoying. I can't scroll or type fast anymore because the screen can't keep up. If its a hardware issue I bet HTC will stay quiet about it, but if its software related I want it fixed ASAP. I absolutely can not use the phone like this.

I noticed this too, especially when typing.

I've never had any speed issues.... I text pretty fast and it's smooth as butter. Scrolling is especially great on mine....pages FLY up/down.
Just to let you know...that's not normal for the Sensation. It should be fast.... on properly working ones.... like mine
Do a factory reset AND a battery pull...if it still does it, there is a problem.
Make sure nothings slowing it down....bad app, launcher etc.
Love this phone...would never need anything faster
Good luck!

I had the same problems so i took my phone back and got a new one. This one works great.

To those who don't know, this problem usually occurs around the one week mark. If you just got the phone obviously you won't have this issue.

About the 1-week mark here as well. I actually kinda hope my replacement one does the same, as the AUO screen is grainy and unpleasant to look at with my sharp eyes.

Hopefully we will find a version which doesn't have a problem.

I wonder also is this a hardware or software issue? i really don't want to return mine device because i know how long i have to wait to repair it (i am sure the retailer will not exchange it for a new one because this is Bulgaria where i live).
Mine is with SN: HT 15EV, Taiwan made, Sharp LCD and i have the grounding issue- if the phone is not in my hand i cannot unlock it...
I want somebody to confirm if it's a hardware issue and to know what to do- return it or wait for a fix

So far everyone been returning it, just in case it is a hardware problem. BUT! The one i got replacement for, is still sitting at my home (they failed to pick it up twice now). Out of interest, i pulled it out, started it and guess what-no issue at all, no matter how hard i tried to replicate it. I have done factory reset before and it didn't help. but factory reset + keeping it turned off for a week seemed to eliminate the problem. So i sort of look like software problem, but why initial factory reset didn't help then?

Guys, I had this problem yesterday and here's some observations.
- I had this problem after a long charge about 9 hours.
- I couldn't unlock in normal way. I was able to unlock only if I slide that ring from its left side when I wasnt touching the phone. Might be dislocation problem.
- I've tried with a different lockscreen app(GoTo Lockscreen) this problem didn't occur.
- Pulled out the battery for a few minutes then put it back like HTC said. Didn't seem to solve the problem. Then I've deleted other launchers and rebooted. That seemed to solve.

Mine has gone to the HTC service centre in the UK, due to this issue. Will report back as to what they do.

My gut feeling says software. The reason I say this is I also own a Thunderbolt which is running a port of the Shooter RUU and it runs absolutely buttery smooth. The Thunderbolt has 768mb of RAM, same as ours, but is using the 2nd gen snapdragon chipset (single core). So certainly its a far weaker device hardware wise but can run Sense 3.0 flawlessly.

I just wrote an article about the issue. If you guys could share it around I'd really appreciate it.

Yeah, good article. I'm on day 4, so "it" hasn't hit, yet. 2 questions: is the EVO S-Off out of the box, and is the one you tested rooted? I would guess not. Hoping against hope that when we're rooted and can get rid of the damn bloat, things will be majorly different. Second, what real-world benefit does Gingerbread actually provide over FroYo? I had thought FroYo was somehow JIT-optimized, but that GB was from the get go and would solve all of the world's problems? Can anyone explain exactly what the benefit of GB is, and whether it can/will not be a benefit until root? TIA...

CoPilot Gps FREE

Hi guys, just a heads up. Copilot gps navigation is free. You can download any country map for free BUT, there's always a BUT, full voice guided navigation costs you £19.99 in the UK. But hey, its for free. Might be of use to somebody.

HELL YESSS!!!!!!!
I bought the UK one on my iPhone for £19.99, and was pissed that when I switched to android im told I have to buy it again! , can happily live without voice as I use it on my motorcycle where I cant hear anything over the exhaust noise anyway!
Edit: still annoying its only 2D

i have just downloaded this but i get 3d view and turn by turn voice i havent paid is it a trial or something like that?

Im getting the same, I assumed it was because I had the UK and Ireland map purchases link to my account already, only time will tell i guess!

ok out of interest i deleted it then re downloaded it direct from gplay and as stated no 3d and no voice is the link higher up a cracked version?

I don't think so mate. Its from the Play Store so it should be completely legitimate. I think you must've just encountered a bug or something that got you features that were supposed to be blocked.
Oh well, having read the reviews it sounds quite buggy in general. Waiting for the new Sygic...

Corrupt text inputs
Is it just my copy of it? On the Prime the text input does not work correctly and keeps adding or removing random letters. Cannot enter an email address easily and now have no idea what password was set.
Works well on the Xoom but not the prime.

Configuration issue
does someone know if there is a way to configure this app so the menu'es aren't so tiny?

i purchased copilot uk years ago on my G1 phone and for some reason its completely disappeared from my google account. so ive just gone ahead and grabbed a cracked copy.
its a good app but theres no way in hell im paying again

I can beat that I bought the v8 + upgrade to full europe maps total cost £70. After trying the "FREE" version of v9 alk(copilot) has closed my v8 licence and tells me I HAVE to use v9 now.

pfft, thats not right at all. cheeky bastards!

Yes, I would recommend finding a different navigator... I have the full version and it has a lot of bugs and their support basically sucks... Their solution to every bug report is that there is something wrong on my side and they want me to delete everything on my phone to fix their bugs....

Your dead right, i bought co pilot once, they totally screwed up my upgrade and then blamed me, the treated me like an idiot and took no responsability for they're software , wouldnt give me a refund, wouldn't let me migrate etc etc etc,
i urge you, all do not buy from this company
they are only money grabbers selling a bug ridden program, its almost as if they don't realise there are better alternatives out there,
i for one will never buy from them again, anyone else had similar experience with co pilot/dough pilot?

I bought this app for my Wm6.5 and had utterly terrible support, bad enough that I relish the opportunity to let everyone else know. They had this botched system where when you upgraded ROM you had to uninstall and deregister to be able to re-install. Needless to say the system failed and I had to jump through a million hoops to get them to give me a new activation code as if I was some kind of a criminal. Best avoided for sure.

sorry to dig up an old thread but I downloaded the free version of Copilot for my Galaxy Note running 4.1.2 Jellybean and the application doesnt open. It hangs on the splash screen and closes.
Anyone else experience this problem? Any fixes?

Go to Applications, Copilot, and then FC-Clear cache-Clear data... i did that and i dont have any problem... only once i had this problem

I tried that and it didnt work. I also tried a fresh install on my friends Galaxy S2 and he gets the same exact problem!
Unless there is an application or setting on the device causing it to crash? Ideally I don't want to hard reset my device.

Any thoughts on compatibility?

Well, $90 for a novelty ain't bad.
Most likely soon we'll find them in an OEM/aftermarket version, or just plain stolen from factory and sold by workers for half price on ebay.

This has been available for a while now. No reason it shouldn't work with our phone, as we have dlna software installed (assuming you're using the stock ROM). I use my phone to stream to my sony NMP-N200 all the time... and it almost usually works.

I have a rom that has middle option configurations hd link, I only need the device hehehehe if anyone would like me to discuss tested.
the rom is:

DLNA is awesome. I used it on my EVO Shift when I ported it into my ROM. At first I was like sweet I can use wireless to view my sdcard, then it scared the heck out of me (I'm paranoid) so I stopped using it.
