Hi, when entering text on the touchscreen, if you click the small keyboard icon at the bottom you get a choice of input methods like Transcriber, Keyboard, Phonepad... For me, when I click Phonepad it just brings up the regular QWERTY keyboard, not the nice chunky Phonepad skin that 2003 used to use for T9 input. Anyone got this same problem or is it just me?
I've never had a 2003 device, so I'm not sure if it's the same as 2003 or not, but I definitely get a phone pad type thing when I click on phonepad with my Jasjar.
HTH,
Brett
Is it the same Phonepad you get with the 'Keyboard' option from that menu, or is it a sort of 3D modelled effect numeric keypad only with the T9 alphabet on the number keys?
If the latter, anyone any idea why mine isn't?
It's definitely different than the Keyboard option and it sounds like what you're describing... a sort of 3D phone dial pad thing with a couple of extra buttons thrown in (arrows mostly).
I have no idea why yours isn't working... as much of a pain as it is, maybe try a hard reset? I had a problem getting my LED to notify me of new mail messages... it seemed to work for everyone but me. Finally I gave in and did the hard reset and it's been working fine since.
Brett
Just as I got it all how I like it!
Is there a good, free, backup program out there for WM2005?
Ok this is weird, it wasn't working, then I messed with some of the Phonepad Options (changed language, unticked boxes, etc.) to try to trip it into life, and it worked!
Then stopped working
Back to just Keyboard now. Any other ideas guys? Maybe a registry entry that tells the device what applet to call upon to show the input method?
Mine is very dodgy too. It works at times and then at other times changing to is simply causes the standard keyboard to appear. I *think* it's a memory issue as I've found that closing all applications through the task manager, then changing the input method to Block Recognizer and then back to phone pad sometimes works.
I've tried more than one hard reset without any luck...

Glad its not just me. Damn that memory issue!
Try to make Phonepad als default
Same Problem,
no memory Problem.
Try to make PhonePad als default SIP. It works fine on my MDA Compact (Marican) GERMAN T-Mobile
But when i switch back to Keyboard it will hang.
Somewhere on this site's FTP ftp://[email protected]/ there is a phonepad application you can download. I did and it re-installed the program which then worked. You could try that. Good luck!
I had the same problem and used the a quick fix for it disappearing found somewhere on the forum,
something along the lines of do a reset
go into contacts
choose phonepad input method
and it will display correctly until next time it goes wrong.
However upgrading to the latest rom it has never disappeared for me yet.
03 has no such keypad. Not on my XDA2 anyway. There is a 3rd party app called Quickey though which does the job reasonably.
I think the problems with the phone pad entry has been fixed in the last 2 software updates from O2 - are you still on the old versions?
I had the same problems when I first got my Exec but not had any issues with it for a while now.
Smiffy.
Has anyone found the fix to the phone pad issue? Been around in the FTP site but do not find the phone pad application. Any kind souls to help?
there is no fix for the keypad issue i looked and looked and looked the only way i got it to reappear was by upgrading to a new rom it still wouldn't appear with any other rom previous to aku 2 either but now i am running on summiter's aku 2.2 rom for my wizard and it works great and the phone pad is there
Is there an solution out there?
I have the same problem with my htc p3600.. the phonepad does not appear...
Solution Found
I have a solution and it works for me...
1)Switch off any devices like WiFi, Bluetooth, and for the moment disable any start-up applications (from starting) - To minimize system memory usage
I have done it with SPB Pocket Plus. It can disable any start-up application becuase it starts in "safe-mode"...
2)Remove CF and SD storage cards - There have been some bugs reported for storage cards where they may drain system resources if too many applications are loaded on the cards.
3)Select the default keyboard as the default input method - To temporarily prevent other input methods from being the default method
4)Soft reset the device
5)Open an application like Notes/Word
6)Select Phone Pade as the input method by clicking on the screen's bottom right icon's arrow and selecting Phone Pad from the list of available input options.
7)You should be able to use Phone Pad in all other applications as well as switching on WiFi and the start-up applications.
For me works fine, after soft reset !!!
Please try this solution.... and give us feedback!!

Hey guys & gals,
I have a problem, whenever i click on the small arrow beside the chosen SIP icon, it takes alot of time to display the menu to choose from.
I thought it was because of the Arabizer software. But i did a hard reset while removing the arabic software from the extended rom and just left the imate stuff and clear vue. Yet i still have the same problem.
Anyone would know why it takes soo much time? can any one direct me in the correct direction: check the processes, dlls...etc?
Thanx guys.
NOTE: i did search this and several other forums with no luck. So i am sorry if this has been asked before.
Which application are you talking about? SJphone?

I am not talking about an application. I am talking about the SIP (Software Input Panel) which is where you choose one of the following
Block recognizer
Keyboard
Letter recognizer
Phone Pad
Transcriber
It takes alot of time to display and i was wondering why.
I hope i cleared any misunderstandings .
It's strange that this is still causing a problem even after you removed the Arabic software. This is a known bug to I-mate which hasn't been resolved yet however they said it only occurs when using Arabic:
http://www.clubimate.com/t-DEVICE_KJAM_ISSUES.aspx
"When running Arabic, the SIP (Software Input Panel) icon is slow to respond after it has been tapped. It can take up to 20 seconds for the pop-up menu to appear providing the user with the option to select block/letter recognizer, phonepad etc."
Why don't you try using the WorldWide English ROM from I-mate (if u don't want arabic) and see if that works any better ?

Hi,
Recently I got a m600. One of the reasons was that, although it doens't has al keyboard, I remebered from the old MDA Compact that the handwriting recognition was pretty good. But I can't find this feature on this orange m600!!! On the microsoft site it is clearly described that multiple input is possible, from keyboard to handwrite recognition (different possibilities), so why is it missing.
I hope someone knows the answer!
Thanks in advance!
When in pocket word or messaging or anything that allows character input look at the little keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen and tap the tiny triangle next to it. You will be given a range of input options including 'transcriber' which is the handwrting recognition.
Thanks for the quick response Paul!
Unfortunately, I already tried that and the only two options I get are "Phonepad" and "Toetsenbord" (= dutch for keyboard ). There should be a way to install the other options as well, don't you think?

it may help if you instal additional keyboards in the main memo (not the memory card) and use a program like IMSelector (not sure where to get it from).

Ive been using SPB Full Screen Keyboard. It works like a dream, both portrait and lanscape mode (landscape better ) Fully customised keyboards to download for FREE I would fully recommend this!!! Best of all, when installing it gives you the option to 'map' a button to activate the keyboard
Google it, try it, buy it
EDIT-oh, I forgot to mention, being a full screen keyboard it makes it difficult to see what your typing but you can scroll left and right. If you map a buttton, it takes a second to start-up and close down with a push of the button!!!!
Have a look at this link Using alternate keyboards, i had a similar problem and installing the G4 SIP manager solved the problems.
Hey guys, I'm new to this using smartphones/pocket PCs. I just got my Sprint Mogul yesterday, but I've been trying to read up a lot on it for the past week or two so I had what programs and such I wanted kinda of planned out.
Anyway, so I got the WM6 Threaded SMS application installed on my mogul and I ran into the same problem that many people are also which is that the virtual keyboard covers the typing portion of it. So this thread ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=350095 ) gave me the only viable option of changing the SIP Dragstyle from 0 to 1 so that my keyboard is draggable, however, I did not use the Resco keyboard as recommended because I like using the PocketCM Keyboard.
Now the problem is that when I change the dragstyle to "draggable" (1) then it puts that bar on top of my keyboard so i can drag it but it also pushes my keyboard down so that the entire last row of keys are now not visible. I was wondering if there was some way that maybe someone knew or could figure out how to get it to not push down they keyboard like that or to maybe increase that keyboard window size.
P.S. It does this to both the oem keyboard and to the PCM keyboard.
Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks everyone!
wow
i thought i was the only one
i dont want the draggable keyboard ..
i prefer rescos keyboard but i dont know how to remove the bar and the draggable feature
what really bothers me is that it over laps the scoll button so i can scroll down as i used to before..
if u know how t ostop the draggin please let me know
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
change value DragStyle to 0
