Is there any way to set the default method for entering text? I want to set my Jam up so that whenever I open the messaging program it goes straight to the T9 input method, regardless of what has been used for entering text in the past
Ta!
I think tweaks2k and possibly cetuner allow you to change the default SIP.
You can also try my program SipSwitch.

Wow! Quick reply!
Thanks for that. I'm interested in your idea on one of your numerous other threads regarding mapping a hardware button that will cycle between the various methods. Thats exactly what I'm after so I'll wait and see how that pans out.
Keep up the good work buddy, more and more of your software appears on my Jam by the day! :lol:

Thanks burnso
I've got an idea for a major PPC mod, but that's going to take some hacking. But I quite like the idea of the rolling sip menu, so I'll try to get it out first.

I'm intrigued! I'll watch with interest
So glad I found this site!!!
In the mean time, congrats on the aforementioned jail sentence *ahem* I mean nuptials ;-)
On my dopod 900, I use keyboard SIP and PlumSIP, I wanna switch between then quickly.
But Fn+SYM or PQZ doesn't work properly,I try vijay555's SIPSwitch,but it's hard to use.
So I wrote one to switch between different SIP.
First map it to one hardward key,
Then press the key, it change the SIP to next SIP in the system SIP list and show the input panel.
BTW , if u want switch between some peculiar input method, u can use POCKET TWEAK to hide others.
Sorry for my poor english.
thanks a lot !!!
it's what I, not only me but all the chinese, need.
thanks million times.
I also want to know the exact way of hiding some input method, as I have been searching for the POCKET TWEAK you mentioned, but don't get any outcoming.
u can got it from here

You're really unbelievable! FTSwitchSIP comes out just one day after you posted to try to find some tool to switch SIP. Many Chinese users of Dopod 838 and 900, known as Wizard and Universel here, have been searching for such a tool for a long time. I am just one of them who is lucky to find it out first.
I've shared your amazing tool in the pdafans forum, I hope you won't mind.
http://bbs.pdafans.com/viewthread.php?tid=203195
Thanks a lot.
Got PocketTweak.
there seems no direct way of hinding input method.
Would you show me some hints?
I think it has a bug here. I have been using the rom of Traditional Chinese. Got several input methods. And hide some of them with Pocket teak. And install CE and PlumSIP. Now I have 3 input methods. 1. Zhuying ( as default) 2. Mengtian Hand Writing 3. PlumSIP. At the beginning, the switch seems ok. I am very glad and thankful. But when I swicth several times, it stuck and both plumSIP and Mengtian displayed. The PPC is hanged. Only reset can make it work.
Thanks your reply.
I'll update it on this weekend.
I wanna add some setting and test it again.
thanks a lot.
I've been searching for such software a lot.

It toggles to all the oem sips but when it reaches pcm keyboard in the list I get "sipsetcurrentIM Error=0".

the tool works fine.. maybe u can try to hide sme OEM sips u dont use and try awain.. may be a memory issue
How do I go about that then - just delete the registry reference to them?
Also can anyone give me a tip on how to locate specific bits of the registry - it took me ages to find the registry entry to pcm keyboard (i'm using regedit).
Ta
works perfectly with ipaq hx2495 (WM5)! thanks for posting this cool app!
OMG! Thank you for this. Actualy, I figured out that it's a last thing that I need to be happy with my Artemis. To be able to change small stylus-friendly SIP which I'm used to use in my office to somethig finger-friendly when I'm on the streed by HW button.
Thanks!
What about new version with ability to setup two SIP to cycle just between them? - but as I said, I'm completely hapy as it is.
Link to fix for that annoying c instead of a when texting on slide keypad here, thanks to Paul.
Thanks for spotting that.
Thats a handy little fix, but I've found it only applies to SMS. It doesn't work in pocket IE
that's for the 16key right?
This works well on my 16 key t mobile touch plus
Hope Paul's missus gets him to fix any other bugs she has found
Jeremy
This is an excellent fix. Thanks!!
Another annoyance however, when typing 'an' it presents 'co'. Any way of changing this to be 'an' in a similar way please?
Thanks

Hi,
has anyone else the same problem?
the keyboard doesnt pop up when clicking on a text box. not even the keyboard-sign appears in the lower bar, so typing is not possible. it is esp. annoying in opera because browsing is kind of senseless without a keyboard.
i'm using my touch hd exclusively in landscape mode. The autorotate program is flip it and im running duttys v3.
would like to know if more ppl have this problem

that was me posting in the dutty v3 thread but there werent many replies. only one or two encountered the same problems since a lot of the dutty users seem not use landscape mode.
apart from that i dont really know if this has to be discussed in the dutty development thread since it could also be a problem of winmo or flipit or anything else. my research brought me to the conclusion that winmo is responsible for showing an input device whenever a text box is marked.
also the dutty thread is too big already. i have to read 10 or more pages to see if someone answered to the question. too many ppl asking how to flash or how to make their cats flash devices
so, if anyone has the same problem pls post here with your config
thx

Sorry if these same obvious or if you have already tried/stated these. I'm just asking these questions to get a better understanding of your problem and to see if I can replicate/solve your issue
Have you had similar problem on any other roms?
Is it standard HTC keyboard you are using?
Have you tried using HDTweak Automatic display pop up?
Have you tried a hard reset and then testing keyboard before installation of apps, then adding each app one at a time to see if any of them are conflicting with it?

Really??? I have the same problem and I have read pretty much every post in that thread and don't remember a solution! If you could point us to it we would be very greatful!

I don't think I've had this problem on a non-Dutty ROM, but I'm not sure about that.
I use Fingerkeyboard.
I haven't tried the tweak you mention - but I'm not sure it would change anything since the problem is NOT PERMANENT! Sometimes the keyboard does pop up, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to be pretty random...

SOrry for the late reply...
i dont think i had the same problem with standard rom (autorotate app was changescreen)
i tried standard htc and fingerkeyboard
no, i havent tried hdtweak since the duttyroms are already tweaked by duttythroy and i dont want to mess it up. what exactly does the function "automatic display pop up"?
i hard reset after flash and tested directly afterwards. same problem.
does anyone know if this problem is still in duttys 3.3?
thx
hdizzel
The problem is still there in v3.3,i have read every possible thread and did every possible search,i cannot find anything mentioned about this and i cannot find a solution. It is kinda lame to have to rotate the phone everytime i need to write smthing on opera,but meh i can live with this inconvenience, Dutty's Rom is worth it tbh.
Even so if anyone finds anything pls report back would be nice to solve this

Currently using V3.3 and I'm still not replicating your problem. If I use Opera or msm in landscape fingerkeyboard automatically pops up for me.
I've used HD Tweak with basically every rom I've flashed and had no problems with it. I'd go as far as saying it actually improves the phones experience and userability.
Try using it and see if it also helps you with your keyboard display
The funny thing is that i have HD Tweak installed(and auto pop enabled),and had it on every rom i used(well basically all of Dutty's Roms since 2.4),dont know what is going on.Maybe it is smth else on my phone,will try reflashing and using Fingerkeyboard only as the first app.Btw this only happens in opera for me.

I'll also reflash and try and replicate your problem. Let me know if it persists

ok, I finally see were your coming from as I am experiencing it as well. Not sure why this is though. I'll look into it and see if I can find a solution.
I never really use landscape to be honest, especially in Opera as loading time of pages is slower.
well i use landscape on opera mainly for forum browsing cause i can see more text!anyways awaiting on news about this,and i am gonna try some tweaking around myself.
Arrgh!!! Really annoying, Clownshoes figured it out before me!!! LOL. Trust you mate!!
Ok mate, it seems it does work, you have to hold down for 2 secs in input field, no more, no less and it should then pop up. You can thank Clownshoes for that one!
Let me know how you get on

Hmm,i might be doing something wrong,i press and hold in the input field for 2secs or so and nothing really happens,well if i press for more the opera menu pops up "select all" but other than that nothing.
Maybe it has something to do with keyboard settings like the popup timer or something similar,although my settings are on default. i'll keep trying though.
Thanks for trying to solve this

ok, which method are you using to rotate opera? Are you using FlipIt?
I've noticed if I set flipit to 0 and 270 degrees and then enter opera. The first time the keyboard will not pop up. But if I exit opera and then re-enter it works fine.
Have you tried a soft reset?
It seems to be very sensitive. Try using just the tip or nail of your finger in the text entry area for about a second.
It also helps if you double tap to zoom into the text entry box.
I've just tested it by doing it over and over again and using the tip of my finger seems to work every time.
this is very weird,i got it to pop but it is extremely sensitive,dunno what makes it behave like this.
Anyways thanks for the solution guys.
Hi all,
I have noticed a strange issue with my UK Vodafone HTC Magic (default factory build). I downloaded the slightly better HTC keyboard Touch Input and installed it to my phone. If I go to "Settings" > "Locale & text" I can see the option to turn on the Touch Input, but have no option to turn off the Android Keyboard. Hence, as it stands I cannot use any alternative keyboard (e.g. the HTC one or even Better Keyboard), as I've no means to turn off the default keyboard.
Can any other UK owners confirm that this is the case? Only I have searched all over the place and cannot see any reference to this issue. I am assuming it is a restriction of build to ensure people don't switch off the keyboard in error, rendering the phone useless as it has no hardware one to fall back on. Nonetheless though, it does seem rather odd.
If I am correct and it simply isn't an option, is there anything I can do to enable it short of rooting the phone?
Thanks in advance for your help!
same issue here after installing key
I had the compact keyboard working on the jf 1.51 build on my G1, but not on my Magic.
Yeah this is 100% factory spec - ie as its received out the box from Vodafone. Hence I'm guessing the option has been hidden,which seems pretty daft. I'm assuming I could still do a Force Close on the Android Keyboard to force the issue, but obviously that isn't a long-term fix.
Took me a little while to figure this one out but it doesn't set it as the active keyboard by just enabling it in 'settings'.
You have to go to an input box (eg. compose a text message) and select the text input box using the trackball (hold it down) after a few secs a menu appears allowing you to choose your keyboard.
Funny enough I was just coming in here to say that I'd found the solution, but you beat me to it! The one I found was pressing and holding the "123?" button, which then brought up the option to select the input method. Worked a treat.
Thanks for replying though; had I not stumbled on the answer myself you would have been a lifesaver!
Where we I find the HTC KB, i had a look on another post which suggested a file name .. HTC Chime i think - But googling that yielded nothing - Any clues anyone?
Found out one that works and installs w/o issue.
I downloaded the file called HTC_IME.apk, and this installed, without any issues. Works great, and has Full Size Qwerty, xT9, and Compact Qwerty(like Blackberry Pearl). Do a search on google for HTC IME.apk+android, and install it. Issue resolved!
Big big big thank you to swifty and trickshot!!! I had this working on my G1 and could not get it working on my magic, I was getting so frustrated. You ARE lifesavers!!
great discovery, thank you very much for this discovery, i'm going to install htc_cime again
Thanks, it works for me too
thankz gentlemen. i had searched every forum except this one(the only one im registered to) the keyboard was the only reason i could find to switch back to my samsung epix. that and a call recorder that workz. thankz
