Onscreen pop-up keyboard

Is there any way to disable the pop-up keyboard? I have no need for it, I have a keyboard on my exec :roll:

Install phm tools and use the external keyboard SIP.

You could follow vijay's suggestion, but you should also find that in normal use (i.e. if you're using the hardware keyboard) the SIP input thing never appears unless you tap its icon on the screen.
The system is smart: if the SIP keyboard appears when your cursor enters a text input field then just ignore it and use the hardware keyboard. (Don't tap the screen to clear the SIP!) Once you've started using the hardware KB the SIP KB won't appear again until you tap the SIP icon to raise it.
If you tap the SIP icon to hide the SIP before you start typing on the hardware KB, the SIP will still appear next time you enter a text field.
The SIP on my Exec hasn't appeared on screen in days. This behaviour is perfect IMHO, so well done Microsoft!

INPUT KEYBOARD pop , how to stop automatic popping up

INPUT KEYBOARD pop , how to stop automatic popping up
I have some software that requires and User and password input, and the WM5 INPUT keyboard pop up tool automatically pops up when I go to this screen.
How can I turn this Wm5 input tool off, or to manual, or just not to pop up, whenever a text entry is required in a software form.
Any ideas ?

look here

See
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/03/27/562162.aspx
look for "Make the SIP stop coming up" under Pocket PC Specific

Check this freeware solution out:
PHM Power Toys.
Scroll down to the bottom for the external keyboard.
Select this from the SIP panel and the popup is gone.
There are a few other good utilities in this package, but that one solves a big problem.

All the above solutions dont work for Wm5, any more ideas ?

I found this solution for WM5 and nullkeyboard
http://personales.ya.com/beemer/prod03.htm
nullkb.ARM4.cab (84kB) Windows Mobile 2003 y Windows Mobile 5, QVGA y VGA.

I'm using this Nullkeyboard since 4 months, works fine.

I've been using the method described in the MSblog linked to by mrandery. Just click in a text input box, ignore the on screen keyboard (i.e. don't close it) and type with the universal's built in keyboard. The onscreen keyboard will go away and won't come back unless you click on it again, unless you use some badly written software that explictily calls for it to appear.

is it possible to write a message without

is it possible to write a message on the qtek 9100 (wizard) without using the stylus. When i open the new message menu and input the number i can't move to writing with both cursors on keyboard or 5way joystick...when i press down on both it just moves the scrollbar but not the writing cursor...please help or tell me if it is the same with your wizards...thanks in advance!

if you're using the keyboard you can do it.
type in the number you want to send it to then push the "tab" key and it will move down into the message body.
- Tatusmi

no, this is not the way i tried it...does it happen with your wizard?

The tab key to change fields works perfectly on my wizard...

do you mean fields in the write new mesage menu does the tab change between recipient and text menus?

I'm not sure I understand what your asking...
Tab would take me from the to field to, say, the body field.
Is that what your asking? Are you trying to get tab to do something else? Like cycle through the contacts when you hit "Menu" -> "Add Reciepient"? That I do with the D-Pad...

when i write a new message i input the number and want to start writing the text. but when i hit the tab button it scrolls the scrollbar the same way the navi button does...it just moves the screen "down" but the cursor stays in the phone number field...

Try pressing Shift and then the down arrow on the keyboard.
I noticed this issue when I first got my Mini S however I also noticed that in later revisions of the ROM they have changed this behaviour so that tab, shift and the down arrow both move the cursor from the To field to the body field.

when i press "shift" and then "down" it happens the same as if i press just down or tab...it scrolls the scroll bar at the right...the tab changes the field i every other menu i repeat EVERY except the menu when you write sms...my rom is the latest on te qtek site 2.17.0001 os 2.17.7.2 is there any newer OFFICIAL rom?please tell me that also(;...please verify this thing in the write sms menu not in any menu with fields because the tab doesn't work only there...weird huh?

I hope I have the reason for not being able to jump from one field to the other without using stylus: it happens when you are using smooth scrolling in internet explorer by the help of a third party program i.e. like tweaks 2k2, spb pocket plus etc.
Try to look if you have somehow enabled smooth scrolling, disable it and make a soft reset. After that messaging without stylus should work again.
Hope it helps!
Kind regards
M.

I had the same problem, and this is the solution for me!
You should change the settings in the following key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\
open key "4-Way Nav" and set value=1

THANKS MAN! I appreciate that you wrote those words for me i hope it returns to you someday...cheers

atom stealth EziText

I just recently purchased an atom stealth. Its been ok so far except for the Ezitext "multi-tap" recognition of the letters I input on the keypad.
Its very slow for typing letters. It takes about less than a second for the letter to get accepted. During the "wait time", it basically waits to see if i will change the letter I chose.
Is there any way to tweak the input method to make it recognize the letters I key-in faster?
Its very slow for SMS standards, expecially in the Philippines where Texting is an everyday communications medium.
Thanks in advance.

Good news
I just upgraded my ROM and the eZiTEXT bug has been fixed so smsing is almost like a nokia keypad There is also a multi-tap feature installed if you are more comfortable using that over ezitext.
see the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282292&highlight=stealth "where can i find english rom for o2 atom stealth?" and download it from the link provided there by the user wepinbell2000

Thanks.
May I ask for a favor..... (and for all who upgraded to the new rom)
Can you try the multitap function and is if you can immediately move on to the next letter, of if you can immediately choose a new key right after another?
say...... if you press "2" then immediately followed by "3" on the physical keypad, do you get both the letters "a" and "d" or do you just get "d"?
this is the problem i have on my curreny rom 061128, it only recognizes the last letter i chose, not unless I wait for the letter to be accepted which takes about 3/4 of a second.
I text very fast using multitap (like in nokia).
thanks again.

EZITEXT a big mess....
any one out there who knows how to tweak/fix eZitext on my XDA Stealth... device performance is acceptable enough, but the built-in sliding pad is a big HEADACHE...
i think the design of the keypad is meant to have the STEALTH perform as a normal phone (eg NOKIA series) for text/nos inputs, but the functionality is far worst than expected...
1) eZitext has no options/menus to change some settings...
2) whenever a push on the keypad is conducted, it would be recognized, but the device will start to provide SUGGESTED WORDS that totally BUGS me OFF...
3) for fast texters, TYPED letters are not automatically displayed, leaving it to wait for additional characters thus waiting for suggested words to be formed...
Why can't they make that KEYPAD worked like the KEYPAD of XDAIIs... "WHAT YOU PRESS IS WHAT YOU GET"... regardless of what keypad options you choose... i would rather want to see this device performing, like when i want letter "C", i just need to press "2" 3x...
eZitext is annoying and should be named as EZ---- hehehe...
thanks for the future help...

Touchpal freezing

Hi,
I use Touchpal V3.5 and i absolutely love it, if you haven't tired it I highly recommend it, especially good is the mixed language input and I actually type faster using touchpal+gsen in landscape mode than I did with a hardware keyboard (a worry that almost prevented me from buying this marvelous device). I do have two little niggles that would be great if i could overcome somehow:
1. Setting Touchpal to the default keyboard does not stick after a restart/reset. I have to change the keyboard each time i start up. I tried SIP Change but it doesn't seem to have an option for running at start-up....anyone know if i can get at the registry somewhere or something?
2. When I first open it, if i try to type in Chinese before using English, it freezes in a bad way, disabling EVERY window that tries to call the sip and requiring a soft reset to make the phone useable again. If I open it, type something in english, and then switch the input to chinese it runs like a charm until I restart again...what is that about?
Actually neither of these issues is a deal breaker, but it would be nice not to have to worry about it, is anyone else having these troubles?...any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

touchpal
i have touchpal also and cant keep it as default. Ive tried all the fixes there are on all the threads. Doesnt work for Touchpal. any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Well I figured out the answer to problem one on my own...TF3D takes a little time to load and interferes with SipChange so you need to adjust the delay so as to happen after TF3D is finished.
Just tap SIPChange, select the IM you want, and set the time to 45 seconds (shorter may work). Bingo, stays the default IM on restart

whats the difference (apart from it's tabulated) between touchpal and "compact QWERTY" mode keyboard?

you also need to Go make this change: HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps and remove the folder called "Startkey"

I have the same problem with touchpal, where do i do this?
Just tap SIPChange, select the IM you want, and set the time to 45 seconds (shorter may work). Bingo, stays the default IM on restart

@FRUSTIN:
TOuchpal is third-party software by CooTek, "Compact Querty" is just a different layout for the tock HTC input method. TOuchpal is MUCH more feature rich and just kicks the [email protected] out of the default keyboard in every way, it supports tons of languages and multi-language input (go back and forth between two languages in the same sentence without changing any settings), web hotkeys, adds copy/cut/paste and D-pad to EVERY app, etc. check it out at www.cootek.com
@DIAMONDBS:
I did NOT do that and it works perfectly for me...why do you need to remove an entire folder from the registry? Can anone confirm this?
@WEETABIX1980:
Just go to start>programs>SIP Change, when the program opens you select Touchpal from the list of input methods and then change the numbers in the box below the list to 45, then click "Select"...should be the only button there...tapping "OK" is not good enough, be sure to tap "Select"

thanks, any clue what sip change in dutch is in the programs?

anyone knows this?

SIPChange is a little tool developed here at XDA:

Download the cab to your phone and install. This should then give you the options mentioned above.

Touchpal intermittantly hangs on me aswell. I post on here about it before. I tried allsorts to cure it (hard resets, clean installs etc). So annoying when demoing the phone to a friend and all of a sudden the keyboard hangs and wont popup.
I used to love Touchpal, now I hate it and will not install it on my phone.
