a great thing to do with the universal in my opinion is that when your in the phone layout, ou can use the keyboard keys a=z to get our contact, much like you can with contacts.
Through Smart-Dialler?
I've forgot how to turn it off; any ideas?
I really don't know if it is possible to use the hardware keyboard with the generic smart dialer. However as an alternative there is a program by the name of Imaginet FingerClix. This is also a smart dialer with added functionality to send SMS as well. This program can be configured to use the hardware keyboard to search ad dial contacts.
A great program and recommended

HELP.
I love my new Qtek 9100 and basically all works well.
I even like the default skins and theme.
1 problem!
The Dialpad buttons are too damn small. Especially if I call a number where I have to keypad an extention number.
I have found some dialpad options that might be a little better, but I have not been able to install them.
I need to know an easy (i.e. newbie rated) way to either install a new dialpad with big buttons (if you have a skin, please let me know) OR if there is a way I can just enlarge the existin skin buttons.
Of course I still need smart dialing to work and it must be WM5 compatible.
HELP PLEASE
any ideas or suggestions?
you'd need a separate dialer app... not familiar with any that do native smart dialing, though - but some may implement their own by looking at your Contacts data?
An alternative, maybe, is to have your device in landscape mode. The buttons get a bit wider (but no taller)
Qizard/Qteck 9100/K-Jam - Dialer/Large Buttons
Anyone make any progress getting large buttons on the dialer (that still work with Smart Dialing) or found a 3rd party Smart Dialer program that works with WM5???
HELP and ideas??
As far as I know there is not a dialpad with large buttons that still retains smartdialing
but look at this thread here where there are downloads you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35326&sid=a428d6fe3b1f4dd93a95290a5354d5eb
and try buzzdev.net - http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,showcat/catid,36/ lots of development here for dialpad skins
My Tytn was replaced under insurance after loss.
When in the phone app, pressing numeric keys used to enter the number but also showed matching contacts containing the sequence of alpha characters from the keys pressed.
The firmware in the new phone is different, and the phone app doesn't support this feature any more. Typing numeric keys simply enters the number. The only way to find a contact is to enter the contact list and select manually.
The new ROM is 2.07.161.1 with WM5.0 5.1.461 (Build 15671.3.3.0).
Can anyone cast any light on how to re-enable the alpha search feature in the phone app?
Thanks in anticipation!
Sounds like you're referring to PhonePad app?
There are CAB's for the PhonePad app on the XDA FTP server - your best bet is to do some serious searching as there have been issues reported using PhonePad with other 3rd party software.
You can download the English only version of PhonePad from >HERE<, but I'd suggest some light reading of the results of a search for "PhonePad" in the Hermes forum before you run off and install wildly
HTH,
Mark.
I think you miss smart dialing function. However this should be already implemented in your ROM. Search for smart dialer. The Phone pad application suggested above is T9 based input method, not a dialer.
Hi, I'm very keen on buying the P3600 and am just wondering about a couple of things - firstly, not having used a touchscreen before, how easy it texting using the on-screen keypad. Secondly, an odd question, but one I've been wondering about - if you're viewing a web page, but are holding the P3600 in landscape (or sideways) when you use the scroll button which way does the page scroll - horizontally or vertically?
Thanks
Vertically.
Texting is fine on the Dopod D810 - I use the stylus and keyboard only now but if you prefer Phone Pad style, there is one installed too. I just don't like the way it requires you to select the word from the prompt list rather than just display the word in the msg straight away. If you're ambitious (& patience), you might also like to try the Transcriber with your hand-writing
TenGo text entry
Anybody tried TenGO Thumb and if so, does it integrate well with the Trinity and more importantly is it easy to use?
Thanks for all your help so far.
I've tried to install TenGO before but couldn't get it to work. Right after that, I found PhonePad and haven't looked back. For long texts/emails, I use Spb fullscreen keyboard...no stylus necessary...
Hi
i have tried to install TenGo and this phone pad, oh and a couple of other alternate keyboards, and try as i may i cannot get them to show up. They exist in the list, both as an alternate input method and as an option on the keyboard choice pop-up. A soft reset after picking one still returns me to the original keyboard.
Am i missing something really obvious? If so where should i start looking?
Banafish, what is 'Spb fullscreen keyboard' - is it a stand-alone application?
Try using the iPhone-like keyboard. Love it for texting.
Of all I've used so far, thats the most comfortable, especially in landscape mode . Not only the keys are big, it also doesnt eat up all your screen space when writing like that of spb keyboard (which is good for writing essays, which I'll never do).

SPB fullscreen keyboard is an application:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/fsk/?en
You can install/uninstall it like you would any 3rd party app. Once installed, it will appear as an input option and you can access it that way. I have it mapped to one of the hard buttons so that I can just activate it when I need it.

Does anyone know if there's a sip out there that shows how many characters you've typed...because you really need to know when you've reached the 160 characters limit for a single text message?

I thought you can see this in the default message window, just that you need to close the text input panel first.. or scroll down the window.
ok, I just got tengo keyboard to work. Not for fast one handed operation, although you can try tengo thumb. There's a free 'lite' version of the regular tengo keyboard available.
Anyone ever tried using Fitaly? I managed to get upwards of 40 words per minute using that, even sometimes hitting 50 wpm. I installed 3.5 on it though, and it slowed down my phone so much, I had to take it off.
FakeSIP
This SIP is placeholder, so you don't see keyboard toggle if you select it as current input method.
This is useful if you use keys, but keyboard autoshow irritate you.
Install cab and select "Fake SIP" in menu.
When you need to use real keyboard, you can switch it, of course.
thanks m8.
Search xda-developers for "NullKB". Someone beat you to it by a few years.
On another note, I find NullKB to be indispensable in combination with PQzII. So when I slide out the keyboard the device switches to NullKB and prevents the soft kb from popping up. And when I slide back to portrait mode the SIP changes back to the soft KB.
I don't see PQzII talked about much anymore. It's hard to describe all its functionality, but in general it handle all sorts of keybinding and event-based behaviours.
fluxist
Hey, guys!
I've tried to use NullKb, but got no stability in daily usage. Sometimes i can't select it - whatever i want to select, the build-in keyboard is choosen. I've thought that it NullKb's fault and I've made my own implementation [ didn't saw your Fake SIP, GreateVK, sorry ]
But even with it, sometimes I can't open the SIP which I want to use. Does anybody encountered sucha problems? And what the technical "background" of it?
Another trouble is that I can't set height of SIP to zero - it have the same height as every other SIP in system. I've even excluded SIP_DOCKED flag from IMINFO.fdwFlags, but it was a useless step. What is the right way to setup height of SIP control?
My little SIP stub [source code + binary] is attached
Hi.
I have an issue with the T9 quick search which I use alot. (Default SGS2 dialerapp)
An example:
Searching for 'Kåre' is complicated, because 'å' isn't recognized as a member of the '(2 abc)' button. Pressing 527 as I would do, won't match Kåre.
So when I need to call someone named Kåre, I can't use the T9 quicksearch.
The same is true for Bjørn, Øystein, Øyvind, Åsmund and many others.
I simply can't find them with T9 quick-search.
I know there are other dialers, but I have not found one I can stand for more than a day. I really like the swipe to call/sms feature and the big buttons in the default SGS2 dialer.
I've tried RocketDialer, TouchPal, DialerOne, GO Contacts, Fast Dialer, Eir Fast Dialer, AContacts.
As I'm syncing the contacts with various social channels it is not an option to change the names to Kaare, and Bjoern etc.
Is there a way to fix this myself, or do I need Samsung to do it?
Any tips and hits are appreciated.
Also please do suggest dialers with T9 search if there are any out there I should try.
