Seems to me that there was a post a while ago that hacked the registry so that the keyboard light stayed on for 30 seconds (or whatever you set it to). I tried it, but it didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
Also, is there some way to make the backlight on the keyboard come on when the keyboard is opened? Mine doesn't turn on until you press a key.
I'm running ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE from Summiter (thanks, by the way!)
what i'd like is a hack or app that turns the keyboard light on when the keyboard slides out or when the device switchs to landscape mode.

I would also like to know if there is a hack to keep the keyboard backlit longer than the 5 seconds it's set to.
Here's the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout

QKeyLedTimeout does not exist in that directory. Am I correct in assuming it must be added? and if so how would I set the timeout value?
It's been a long standing fact that the HTC Wizard's keyboard is Hardware activated, and the QKeyTimeout value in the registry makes no difference. We're still waiting on a way to get it to stay on longer or activate upon viewing in landscape mode or the magnetic switch between the keyboard and the screen
Are we still waiting for this? I thought I would ask since it is annoying to me and the last post on this thread was almost 3 months ago.

Is there a registry key for the backlight on the keyboard? I would really like to set it to a longer time before going off.
TIA,

damn i'll try on hermes too ....and on my artemis ....
but in my ce emulator it also didn't work fully correct....
sometimes i just get black buttons....
It works on my Trinity (WM6) but not the symbol page. But I'm ok with it. Like the 'intelligence' of this over T9, but the scroll left and right (on screen) button is a bit too 'small' and near the edge for ease of scrolling. If that can be fixed, it will be even more perfect.
no good for elf
when i set in french language they a are no letters on keypad
thank you
Anyone manage to 'perfect' this beta version?
While it is useable, without the symbol can pose some inconvenience when you need the symbols.
It works fine on my touch. To get the symbols in blue you press and hold the key. It takes a little getting used to so you don't end up with .. but it does work.
For those getting blank screens, this should only happen when you bring up the keypad without selecting a text field. Meaning if you are in a selected text box the keys should display.
Another bug I found was if you install this keypad and then choose another one that you have installed (pocketCM, HTK, etc), it will not display any text. It's like you are typing in white. The cursor advances, but no text displays. I had to un-install this keypad to get my other input methods to work.
It may sound a little obsesive, but I timed myself using this new touch dual keypad and my pocketCM skin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1597831&postcount=21) and every time I was able to type faster and more accurate with the pocketCM version. It was close (1:11 vs 1:08) for a couple sentances. I'm glad to see HTC putting a real finger operational keyboard on the Touch, but for now I will stick with pocketCM.
works on the mogul, install, soft reset...

Nah man, that's a great idea. I think a "type-off" of sorts is a good way to determine what's best; although everyone has difference preferences, I think 90% of us subconsciously type the same.
any status on a new version that works a little better?
thx.

working on Hermes!
Its working fine on my Hermes WM6. Still get the blank buttons when trying to use it outside an application. But within application (e.g. Onecontact, IE ect..) all working fine. Even symbol key is working fine.
Its a great keyboard (esp. the T9 version)...First keyboard where the buttons are large and responsive (iv used sooo many now!).
btw...dont forget to softreset after installation before use!
No symbols
I get all the characters and numbers but the symbols are all blank. I am in the UK. Otherwise it's okay. I personally don't like PocketCM because unless there is lots of free memory it just pops up the default keyboard for me.
is there any way to turn the xt9 off i used the keypad for 5 mins adn when i switched to the normal keyboard the xt9 was still there.. can it be turned off?
^^yeah I found that incredibly annoying, I LOVE this keyboard but I had to uninstall it because the T9 would be there even when using the hardware keyboard!
Can anyone post any pics of this keyboard?
Yeah...T9 still there on hardware keyboard is really annoying!
Hi,
Just yesterday I have noticed a very strange issue. The full qwerty keyboard is permanently stuckup on number keypad which is visible when we press 123.
Any (desperate) attempts to press ABC to get the alphanumeric keyboard back just doesnt work. I tried several ways but its just not working.
I really do not want to do a hard reset for this issue. Is there any registry key that I maybe able to alter.
I dont know the source of this issue but my wild guess is it might have happened after I installed cab to skin the stock calculator.
Any help will be appreciated.

I had the same problem when I installed HD Tweak, it started happening.
I disabled the T9 only in HD Tweak, Shut down the phone, start it again and it went back to normal. No tricky stuff. At least it worked for me."
Worked for me too. Thanks.
T9 only in HD Tweak? Where is that... I looked on options about T9 and disabled it, no go... is there something else I am looking for?
Fix for Full Qwerty Keyboard Stuck On Numbers
This happened to me sometime after I performed this reghack to change word completion behavior:
IMPORTANT: be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0.
Change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e0010409
* Value of Ime File from \windows\xt9ime.dll to \windows\compime.dll
* Value of Layout Text from XT9 IME to COMP IME
To fix it, I used a registry editor to revert back to XT9 settings, soft reset, verified normal Full Qwerty Keyboard functionality returned, then switched back to COMP settings by performing the above reghack again, soft reset, and now I have the auto-completion scheme I prefer and the Full Qwerty is back.
Hope this helps!
Solution found, thread closed
when ever i aet a custom keyboard as my default it changes after i restart my phone :s
any ides why or a fix?
From Finger Keyboard 2 thread:
Rozenthal said:
SIP CHANGE:
Installing this will allow you to keep FingerKeyboard as default keyboard after you soft-reset the device. Normally, it would switch back to default WinMo keyboard after every soft-reset, and it would have to be reselected under input options. Keep in mind that for this to work with Touch HD, you must increase the timeout delay to at least 50 seconds!

I have this problem too, and even after Finger Keyboard 2, it still changes back after soft reset.
I don't know if we'd need to change that timeout setting. It's not clear how to do that.
The old version of Shap's Advanced Config xxxxxxxx [edit]
EDIT: I got confused. See the post below about using SKTools to do it. That's what I used
10 second delay has worked for me with both the Blackstone keypad and Finger Keyboard 2.
hi guys.
i found better solution.install latest sktools.start sktools.choose category.under maintenance/input methods choose fingerkeyboard as default keyboard and soft reset sexperia.voilayour default keyboard is fingerkeyboard v2.cheers
Whenever a sms is open, the touch screen keyboard that is opened is supposed to be full qwerty. However, mine has turned in a number keypad. There is no way i can change to full qwerty again. I can change into transcriber, block recognizer, letter recongnizer but cannot revert back into qwerty. How can this be?
Even a soft-reset cannot solve this. Can anyone help? Thanks
If I tap the "Up" arrow next to the SIP "Show/Hide" icon I get a popup menu that offers ...
Touch Input Settings

Phone Keypad (this will be what you have selected)
Full QWERTY (this is what you want)

Did you turn on the T9 option with HD Tweak? This caused the same problem on the Touch HD, might be the same on the TP2.....just an idea....

Er Dave.... thanks for the suggestion. I already know how to change different input options from arrow up key. Sorry I didnt make myself clear earlier.
The problem is that even when I choose qwerty.... the number keypad still appears. It has happened before and the only way I can go back to qwerty is to go back to previous backup setting.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has faced any problem like this.

Hi michi, I never use HD tweak and T9 option before. Only use qwerty and hardware keyboard only. This number keypad just appeared out of nowhere.

See... funny thing is that 5hrs ago, I backed up the device. During this time, I did not install any software and hardly used the phone except for some sms and inputing new contact info. Suddenly, the qwerty keypad input doesn't appear any more.
I just restored my backup and the qwerty keypad is up again. Hope someone knows what is going on, if not, I have to backup everyday!!!
It happened to me too. I changed the registry so I could map keyboard keys to emulators, changing the eT9 IME to the windows mobile default. Perhaps you have done this? If so, change the values back and it fixes the problem after a soft reset.
I think the registry location was HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts
Layout Text should be "eT9 IME",
Ime File should be "\windows\eT9ime.dll"
I have same problem
I give up on the keyboard for now. Not sure what broke it and I didn't backup everyday. Registry looks a bit different for me.
I did this previously at it work very well.

Simply change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409
Ime File : \windows\xt9ime.dll change to Ime File :\windows\compime.dll
and
Layout Text : XT9 IME change to Layout Text : COMP IME
And soft reset.
------------------------------
Today it happened again.... lucky I backup last night. 1 hour ago everything was still working. Again.... no new software or settings changed. What could be the problem?
I checked the settings are still the same.... now even suggested words don't appear.
Sigh... until a solution can be found... I just have to keep doing backup / restore....

I just started having this same problem today. I tried cjatcti remedy, and it worked so far . QWERTY keyboard is back to normal. If the phone keyboard comes back, I'll let you all know.
Excellent work. Worked very well so now I have the word selection and the keyboard I like. THANKS
Wish
I would have seen this thread before I hard reset.
Changing the CurrentET9Style from 1 back to 0 works ... but once I go into, say edit a contact, then the number pad will re-appear again. The registry key is modified back to 1 again ... any quick trick to stop this? really don't want to change the key again and again...
I use my Kaiser with the ROM PDA Corner Ultimate X-v9 a six months ago without any problem. Today i saw the first page of the forum the application SMSer from "oldsap". I found interesting and tried to install. Soon after the installation I was testing it and realized that I had the same problem as everyone here. Changing CurrentET9Style from 1 back to 0 solved my problem. I think in my case the problem appeared after the installation of SMSer, so i uninstaled and my QWERTY is working normal now.
