One soft I find very usefull with my qtek 9100 is Xbar (new pocket pc version).
This soft was designed for smartphone (one handed operation).
It happens that qtek 9100 is a smartphone too and one haded operation is good for it also.
Especially considering the fact that most task switcher have not yet been optimised for WM5.
This one is also great for in it is only 57 ko.
Now the problem is you can map buttons but as it was designed for SPV c500 (like HOME, BACK, 1, 2, 3, 4, *, #) I am not able to find what are the buttons for Qtek 9100.
Did someone managed to map some buttons or even the full keyboard?
That would make a fantastic launcher with 40 shortcuts in 2 clicks.
Yes, specially since there`s no CUT/COPY/PASTE shortcuts on the keyboard and that Xbar has them. Can you map some shortcut frrom the keyboard to these?
yes no problem.
you have to create shortcuts to the copy/Paste in "xmacros" folder.
Then you put it in "key" folder and rename it whatever you want.
I used "w.lnk" and "x.lnk" as it is mapped to volume UP/DOWN.
But it also work with w and x keys on the keyboard when it is open.
I guess you can use "c" and "v" if you are more classic.

Has anybody worked out if the keyboard has a Ctrl key or a function that works like Ctrl , handy when quitting apps eg Ctrl Q.
Or editing.
I couldnt find it when I used the device.
Cheers
That's very strange because I have it on my MDA II's touchscreen keyboard. Are you talking about the touchscreen keyboard that you have to pop up by pressing the up arrow in the lower right-hand corner in the Messages app for instance?
I wonder whether this feature would also be ROM-dependent.
i meant the hard keyboard not sip. its on sip but when i used the universal i couldnt see it.
Yes I am interested in the Ctrl button on the universal as well, I owned a XDAIIs and found the keyboard on that didn't have the Ctrl key either so you can't do CUT/COPY or paste unless there is another way. I cut and paste heaps so the keyboard was useless to me on the XDAIIs.
Any one know if there is another way to do this on the Universal Keyboard.
what a wind up this is, cant believe they missed the ctrl button off the proper keyboard.
The keyboard has Cut/copy/paste function, so I am happy.
Jasjar is the most awesome PPC Phone yet.
there is a screen tap key (a bit like the right mouse click key on a full computer) this brings up the menu option, with copy and cut in it !! then you can just pres the relevant letter on the keyboard, thus having the same effect (ie press a function key then C or T or V).
PS its Fn [Space] key
cool... i wondered what that key did! that is useful!
[ctrl] is used for more things than copy+paste.
I use my Exec to communicate with *NIX servers using Pocket PuTTY. [ctrl] is kind of essential.
Agree, using putty is a nightmare without a ctrl key. Is there any way of mapping another key to do the same function
As I am using my Wizard open in horizontal position in my brodit car-holder I would like to know if it is possible to use the hardware keyboard (instead of the on-screen soft keypad) in the dialer screen using the smartdial options.
Also is there a hack that keeps the hardware keyboard light on when the device in on charge?
I don't see why not - just use the number row of keys (QWERTYUIOP - no need for the dot key) to type any numbers, and use the arrow keys (bottom-right) to select from the smart dialing list, and the enter/return key to select.
As for the backlight - SOL until somebody figures out where that's controlled, I'm afraid.
maybe I was not clear enough, I would like to use the whole slide-out keyboard.
ie. when i want to dial John i would just type j o h n (whereas on the on-screen keypad i would type 5 6 4 6)
When driving using the slide-out keyboard gives me more confidence when dialing (on my Himalaya the on-screen dialpad was bigger which made i better useable without a stylus)
I know what you mean. The phone apps doesnt support hard keyboard. Try clicking contacts and type on the hard keyboard the name in contacts. then dial from there. hope this helps.
well, you could still type 5646 - and it'll still go to 'John'
But I understand what you mean now - does seem silly. The contacts suggestion sounds good, but ideally maybe get one of those phone front-end replacements.
As for the buttons - they're fairly large here.. large enough for touching with fingertips anyway. Does your Wizard have some customization cab making the keys small, maybe? or am I underestimating the size of your fingers?
underestimating the size of your fingers!
Use Microsoft Voice Command instead
I tried the trial version of MS Voice Command v1.5 on my Cingular 8125 (aka Wizard) and it is just fabulous. No voice training needed. I tried the registry hack to use the BT headset to to take the voice command just couple of hours back. Need to check how well the 8KHz sampling of the BT works with the 16KHz sampling based algo in VC. You can really be hands-free with this s/w. Amazing!
I've been searching for a while for a re-mapper/utility that will remap the d-pad to move around the numbers while on the Phone screen. Currently the D-pad does nothing while you're in the Phone dialing or call screen. It would make the Wiz into a great one-handed device if I can get the D-pad to move around the on-screen numbers pad. The center button can emulate pressing of the on-screen numbers. This way I can use one hand to enter the phone number and not having to use use my hands or the stylus while on-the-go.
I know I can slide out the keyboard but are you able to slide the KB out with 1 hand and use the number keys? I tried and it's VERY awkward and you'll have to remember to press the dot twice to enable the numbers. I'd rather not do that in a time of emergency.
Any one has tried to make this happen? Is there an app out there which will do this? This plus smartkeys/smallmenu will make the Wiz the ultimate one-handed device.
Anyone? am I the only one with a Wiz wishing for this function? I guess people like touching the screen with their hands more than I thought...
I would really be interested in something that could achieve this. I have my K-JAM in a PDAir case and being able to simply dial numbers with the keypad would be great. Rather than scroll through the contact list or opening the cover to access the keypad.
On Himalaya the D-pad had function in the dialer to get to call history and speed dial. That would help too.

hi all,
A cool Japanese Freeware called FakeCursor does this. It doesn't tab between fields, but emulates a Dpad controlled 'mouse'.
There is a program called AEKmap that allows you to remap the keyboard.
I have attached several layouts I made for the Phone and Calculator for use with AEKmap. (2 of the layouts work in AEKmap free mode, the other 6 require $20 activation to avoid NAG screen.)

btw on my qtek9100 the keyboard is automatically in number mode while in the phone application. I don't need to push the blue dot twice.
I'd just as soon se a remapper that brought back the WM 2003SE phone functionality (right - Call Histtoey, left - Speed dial, etc.)
It's a shame M$ took that out in WM5
*One WM5 developer*
"I got an idea. Let's make our new phones LESS functional. That'll give us a leg up on the competition."
*Everyone else there*
"BRILLIANT!!!"
:roll:
Did anyone create an aek file for mapping the alfa keys of the hardware k/b to the phonepad values.
ie: pressing a, b or c generates the code that is recognized by smartdialer (and interpreted as a, b or c respectively)
This way we can use the h/w keyboard letter-keys in the smartdialer!
This is especially handy when youre using the Wizard in your car in the landscape brodit holder (on-screen 'keys' are simply too small to be used safely)
it would be very cool.
wonder if Water can extend SmartyKeys for that - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060

Sorry for my bad english ... google english ...
Then that same one, time towards which was looking for the way to completely hide the keyboard that appears to us in the screen in the Qtek 9000 and Qtek 9100 (also the trick with other WM5 would be compatible, but must have physical keyboard).
That keyboard did not do more than to bother to me, see at the most inopportune moments cut the screen, and was almost half of her the one that in oblong way, so I put myself to navigate and to look for by the registry until I gave with the key...
We took hold the publisher of registry and we go away to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip key where they will appear to us some keys, those that interest to us they are these DWORD:
- AllowChange with value of 1 that we will change to 0
- DragStyle with a value of 0 which we will change to 1
- MenuBarHeight with a value of 52 (Qtek 9000) or 26 (Qtek 9100) which we will change to 1
Soft-Reset and, already we will have the totally hidden keyboard, to return to activate it we would have to the values of origin.

Much safer to use a null keyboard like PHM External keyboard.

Hi Vijay,
Do you mean this program? http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/nullkeyboard.shtml Would this leave a blank spot where the keyboard used to be? (I think I read it some where, but not sure).

What I want is disable the automatic appereance of the keyboard (like when I open IE), so can I use the keyboard (on display) if I just tap the icon below??? Or is it all gone after these reg tweaks???
zago187: it sounds like this is physically shrinking the size of the window. But I guess it will require a reboot to show it again.
If you just click on the normal keyboard icon, it should hide it. Otherwise, use a null keyboard SIP. Otherwise, use VJSipSwitch and hide keyboard. Otherwise, use this registry hack if it works ok for your needs.

Allright,tnx mate. But what I want is disable the automatic keyboard apereance. Does this registry hack cancel the keyboardfunction? anyone tried it yet???
Ive just installed TomTom5 onto my O2 XDAII. It works well but when I want to type in an address to navigate to, I can`t find an option for the onscreen keyboard. Annoyingly i`m having to take it out of the holder and drop down to use the mechanical keyboard. Strangely I have the same TomTom 5 installed on my QTEK2020 (which does not have a keyboard) and this brings up an onscreen keyboard every time. Does anyone know how I can get the XDAII to show an onscreen keyboard please.
