I used to be able to do this fine, and now it's stopped working for no reason.
Any suggestions? All the other input methods are working fine.
Do you mean the program that should start after pressing the green call-button? And do you also have Wisbar Advance installed by any chance?
I had this problem yesterday and almost made me hard reset the damn thing. Untill i realised that i changed Wisbar Advance to start up after sofreset. Somehow there is a bug in WA that will not let you startup the phone properly. Removing the autostart function of WA solved it for me.
No, I mean the phonepad input method. With T9 etc...
I've got WM5 on my mini s and I find that if I've been anywhere neer the task manager, it plays havoc with the phone. I just do a soft reset and this sorts it. A right pain, but it works!
In fact, I'm even more impressed with my spelling after re-reading that.

I'm a big fan of SPB's pocket plus, but the 3.0 version has some conflicts with the I-Mate K-Jam. While I can wait for them to work those out in most instances, I REALLY miss the ability to completely close tasks via the "X" in the upper right corner of the screen.
Has anyone found a compatible program that allows users to COMPLETELY close programs using the "X" button?
Thanks for any advice!
(As an aside, you'd think that after 5 versions and all the problems with programs/memory in WM2003PE, Microsoft would have included this feature in the OS.... but.... nooooo....)
wisbar advance 2
works for me.
NOT REALLY
IT WORKED FINE FOR ME TOO BUT.............

When you install SPB + 3.0 go to settings for SPB and uncheck "Safe Mode on Soft Reset" This is what causes it to hang. When you uncheck that everything runs fine
I have SPB + on my K-Jam
Me 2
yes but my k-jam don´t lets to install pocket plus ?¿?
regards?¿?
I installed Magic Button - worked fine when I actually tap the "X" icon. For some reason, though, it doesn't seem to work when using a hardware button assigned to OK / Close.
Any ideas?

Well, forgetting the broken English, I am having this same problem, too -- the CAB file only installs 10-15%, then just craps out, and the Windows "unsuccessful install" message pops up.
Any thoughts? Have I corrupted some registry entry or something, that after the first bad one, does not allow the Pocket Plus CAB to properly install?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
bit of an extreme suggestion, do a hard reset and re-install from scratch,
sorry all i can suggest. :?
i do but, it´s imposible
Has anyone seen/tried this? It looks very similar to pocketcm keyboard, only suretype style...
http://www.cootek.com/index.html
It's a free download until Dec 8th, 2008...
Cool stuff
This is indeed a great soft keyboard. I found the following reviews around this product, pretty amazing:
http://www.maxartonline.com/
http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/software/great_new_soft_keyboard.html
I can't get this to work.. Like some other keyboard, I suspect this could be due to the Chinese software / input method I've installed on my Trinity.
Can anyone with Asia ROM (with CE Star installed) confirm this?
So so sad...
[Edit] Ha!! ya, got it to work.. need to softreset after installation. Fantastic piece of application!!
[Edit 2] Ha!! You can drag the keypad and move them to your prefered position, e.g. spacing in the centre!!!
I think it just 'white-screened' my phone.
damnit. I tried to set it as a default input and now I may have to hard reset.

Seems you have to switch to TouchPal manually They didn't make it to be default IME in this version.
It works perfectly on my HTC Touch. So coooooooool stuff...
I really love word assoication feature...
Did you have to uninstall any other SIPs first? I had a couple other ones, including phonepad. I actually wasn't able to select it from the input selector, which is why I tried to make it the default.

Just paste the following to another thread:
Did you soft-reset your device? And it is possible that TouchPal is incompatible with some other non-default soft keyboards. My friend got TouchPal work after uninstalling a Chinese keyboard and reinstall TouchPal->Soft-Reset. He decided not to go back to other keyboard, even decide to give up hardware keyboard.
Hmmm. My device is now reset, and I have restored it to it's previous settings. I uninstalled tengo keyboard, and am now disabling spb fullscreen keyboard and phonepad.
Currently, TouchPal shows up in my SIP list, but I just can't select it still.
Update: still not working after disabling all other input methods besides the standard keyboard. will have to try something else...or give up...

do you have password setup for your device? if not, it is worthy of trying setup a password for your device. someone fixed this issue by this approach.
Nope. Dead end. I'm actually running BBConnect, so there's an override of the windows password with the new BBSecurity. It actually crashed my phone again. I'm restoring back to normal and throwing in the towel for tonight.
Thanks for your help anyways!

Hi
Did you soft reset after installing TouchPal? When I first install, I can't select it as well. After uninstalling it, I reinstall again and did a soft reset. And now it works well.

i don't know then. btw, what type of device are you using?
don't work on my p3600. when i try to select touchpal as a imput it set to normal keyboard. i soft reset , uninstall , reinstall , nothing... it don't work to me... any solution?
i have a trinity. i definitely tried the uninstall and soft reset but it didnt work. it's really strange since tengo, phonepad and fingertouch all installed no problem!
It's really wierd.. How come for some no prob, for the others failed??
did you guys try the stuff in the following link:

Not sure it works or not
Although I can select TouchPal after my installation, this morning I also experienced bring it back on (cos I select Phonepad after my last reset). I have experience difficulty in the SMS. So what I did is went to Contact and select TouchPal there, and managed to get it working. Then when I went back to SMS, TouchPal is still working there. Try it see whether this works for you guys.
Hmm...that's an interesting tactic. When I think back, I remember actually having to set the other SIPs as the default first to get it working.
Do you have G4 SIP Hide on your trinity? I needed to install it to make Phonepad work, and wonder if that could be causing an issue with Touchpal (not likely, but who knows...)

Nope, I don't use G4 SIP Hide. Not sure what it is also.
How about with pocketCM?
Anyone having any luck sending sms with pocketCM? I got the SIP input to work but cannot "send" from pocketCM.
Very nice SIP though...

Touch Cruise / Polaris Hardware Buttons not working after 6.1 rom update
Having performed the above update the send, end, camera etc buttons and the scroll wheel have stopped working.
I have done an install of the official HTC WM 6.1 rom, this went fine, after installing the hard keys worked. However I then sync with both of my PCs after some messing around this went well also. I then started to install some of my apps.
I cant recall which one, but one of them has now stopped the hard keys from working.
I then did a soft reset, this did not help, then a hard reset which did restore the operation of the keys. Just to be sure that all was well I then reinstalled the same rom and exactly the same thing happened as above
Thus I think that one of the apps that I am installing is corrupting the hard keys within the software.
I am considering uninstalling the apps one by one with a soft rest after each one to see if I can get the keys working again and thus identify the problem app.
Can anyone offer any help or ideas?
Is there a way that I can remap the hard keys to override any conflicts? Or a registry edit for this, or a registry search for conflicts? I have tried adjusting these in start, settings, buttons but they still don’t work no matter what application I assign to them.
I know that it is not a hardware fault as when the hard reset is performed they work fine, also when I press the buttons the backlight comes on so they are working just not performing the assigned task
Thanks in advance for any help, I really don’t want to perform another hard rest !
as you said, one of the app that you are installing after is causing a problem:
maybe it's not compatible with wm 6.1
It wolud be a good ideea to modify your thread to hardware buttons not working after install "xxx" app on wm 6.1
Many thanks for your reply, i have adjusted the thread title, i am not sure what App is causing the issue at present. I cant identify it at present as each time i am having to do a hard rest, it is taking me hours!
Managed to get this working, i uninstalled each of my apps one by one with a soft rest between until i found the one which then allowed the keys to work.
In my case it was my windows mobile remote desktop that was causing the issue
Thanks
You should really put your solution up top and change your thread title. To most it would seem like they risk losing hardware button function if they upgrade to the oem WM 6.1. This clearly isn't the case...
Good point will do so now
Hi there
I just got my HD2, and I'm very happy with it
I tried installing skyscape (Dr Drugs) on my device, but whole thing looks different from the one I had on previous device (all were qvga)
The layout is more finger friendly I guess, but still.. no search option! take a look at these pictures
the "Look for" bar that usually was at the buttom of the page is not there anymore!!
I tried with skyscape technical support, but the guy was clueless, just a waste of time....
did any of you guys had similar problem?? or had skyscape working properly for them??
cheers
When typing in the drugs do you just guess then? I'm looking into getting the HD2 but my Dr.Drugs on my tilt looks different than yours. Maybe try the 2010 version?
Otherwise do the skyscape aps work well?
well I tried typing before, it did not work, however today I tried again and it works fine, however it's very inconvenient!
I think if there is a keyboard that has a small tab at the top that shows whatever you are typing, it would be great...something like the full screen version of SPB keyboard, but in normal portrait position
I did a hard reset, and now everything works fine, still don't know why that happened in the first place
same happening to me. Tried hard reset. Worked. Then restored backup. Happened same issue. I don't want to install everything from scratch. Is there any other solution?
Thanks...

Hi Communiteee...
I have just started tweaking my TP2 and for some reason the above mentioned keys die on me...
I initially thought it was the "Classic Word Completion" cab but I do not have this installed and this AM it died again
If I hard reset with the internal storage it does not fix the problem BUT when HR with the Hardware keys it Does
Is there a way to check in the registry if these are still mapped correctly please.
The path would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

If you loaded on a new rom then you probably have to find and install the keyboard fix for whatever version of your phone you have. Look in the thread you downloaded the rom from and you'll likely find it in there.
That said.. if you havnt installed a rom and your keys randomly stopped working I would still try a keyboard fix. You can do a search in the rom subforum for them.
Good luck
ASDF
Thank you Aaron,
I have only loaded the stock 6.5 ROM upgrade - will try to re-flash that and if that does not work I will try the Keyboard Editor I found on the Must have Apps Thread...
Will let ya know If I could get this resolved...
I am in the US and use AT&T. I have to install a cab every time I install a ROM or my keys are all screwed up. Maybe that is your issue. Good luck.

Hi There kimtyson,
Please advise which .cab that would be which you have to use?
I reflashed the Stock ROM and the keys worked for a while and then they decide to stop I have no idea why - I downloaded Energy ROM last night - will flash that at work and see if this resolves my problem...
HTC have replaced my Hardware Keyboard so it has to be something to do with the software
Thnx!
Bad Boi,
You mentioned your keyboard was replaced by htc already. I would send it back. If a hard reset doesnt fix the prob then I would say its a hardware prob. Maybe I missunderstood you but a hard reset puts the registry back to stock. You may have a bad flash and need to try to reflash the upgrade. Also, every cab or reg edits I did to get back the good old predictive text/word completion, it would always mess up my soft keyboard not the hard one. I have found that if you install HDTweak and enable the T9 option it will give you the predictive text back. You can even adjust how many words it suggests. Dont forget to turn off xt9 on your device. It works like a charm. If you need a good keyboard remapper I use Tarkim keyboard controller. I have to do almost my entire keyboard cause there isnt a 100 % fix for the Tilt 2. Here are links for the programs I mentioned. I hope this helps.

Thank you thebigrhinoone,
I have reflased stock upgraded ROM and the problem still pops up now and then - with or without tweaks added...
I have the Clasic Word Completion from PPC Geeks (Similar to Vogue Stock) for my TP2 and that works without any problems and no remapping required...
For the time being the ASDF is working - I will Flash the new ROM if the keys lock up again just to make sure if its hardware or not...
FYI
The way I get the predictive text working doesnt require any key mapping. The key remapper was for you to reassign the keys that arent working to see if that solves the problem. Sorry if I wasnt clear about that. If your problem persists try using the hd tweak method to see if that takes care of it. There are a lot off options in that program that you might like as well to tweak your phone. Take care and good luck.
