Hi, I am trying to write a program for Dopod C730. I am using VB.net Compact framework with WM6 standard SDK. However, when I put it to run in the C730, I can't input the characters in the textbox with those keys also represent numbers. For example, the key "E" should also represent number 1 in the keyboard. No matter "text" mode / "numeric" mode, the key "E" always be number 1. In other words, I can't input character "E" in the textbox in any input mode. Does anyone have any idea?
Thank you very much.

No. That's hardware keyboard. It is very weird...... That's a very very basic function and the program is running normal in the emulator. Don't know whether it is the bug in Dopod's rom or build-in .net runtime......
I'm noticing the same exact problem with my Dopod C730 using Windows Live Search. I can use all functions of Windows Live Search (http://wls.live.com), except for typing in a destination since I only get numbers or special characted (up, down, tab, etc.) when hitting the corrosponding letters on the QWERTY keyboard.
Any help on this would be really great!
Thanks,

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!
I have couple of troubles with my 9100.
1. Virtual keyboard has Cyrillic layout. To write in English I have to tap au virtual key for each letter. I didnt find how to switch to English layout. It's very hard to write this message using virtual keyboard, believe me.
2. I cannot use Terminal Services client because I cannot enter English letters to specify login name and password. I tried to switch layout on sliding keyboard by it enters always Cyrillic. I tried virtual keyboard too but the same result.
I supposed any third party keyboard layout utility will help but I didnt find anything that works fine on 9100. I tried qkeys and Resco keyboard.
Does anyone know something about?
Resco works fine on mine.

Which version?
Had the very same problem.
1. Tap au key twice (fast) and it would switch to english
2. Use any registry editor to change "Keyboard layout" string value in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\ from "00000419" to "00000409". Wait a couple of mins and soft-reset the device. After that ts client will be using english by default.

This is where Resco Keyboard would come in handy
Excuse me, I've found it. It appears near spacebar when shift is pressed.
Russian Rom Wanted!
Guys, can you share the firmware (rom image) ? Please!
Russian edition?
Yes, please!
Want to change language to Russian.
I own a TC UK version, and I edited the registry as described by jeroen_76 to be able to use the Dutch T9.
Now when I use either the keyboard or the keypad I only get digits, no characters or symbols. Strange thing is, when it is in character mode, it shows the ABC key. If you press this, it switches to digit keys.
What did I do wrong?
I recieve exactly the same behavior after installing the german language on my XDA Orbit II with bepe ROM..... is there a key combination to enable/disable the numbers? On a notebook i would hit the "Function" key ...
Hello,
I've run into an odd problem with my HD and clueless on how to fix it. It seems that when I type using the compact qwerty and phone pad keyboards, pressing a letter key will instead produce a number. For example, if I wanted to type out an A letter, the number 2 comes out instead, M comes out as 6, T as 8, etc. Its always the little symbol above the letters for each key. However, the full qwerty keyboard works fine.
Any idea how I can get it back to normal? Any help would be much appreciated.

I had this same problem and I fixed it by disabling T9 mode in HDTweak.
When I want to use the keyboard and have the Full QUERTY keyboard selected, it's in numeric mode. When I tap ABC to get to the alfanumeric mode nothing happens. What is the solution?
Axum
Did you try tapping on the right side of the keyboard button so you can choose which keyboard you want to use?
Right hand side there is a abc button, is it not there?
yes, I tried that, both full or compact QWERTY is not working when I select them and then tap ABC. When I select the standard Windows Mobile keyboard, then I get a Qwerty keyboard that I can use.
I had this problem earlier on the same phone (but I did a hard reset then) and now the problem is back.
The problem started when I selected 123 for the first time in the Full Qwerty mode.
Axum
Anything installed before the problems started?
I've had this problem before as well. Do you have any other SIP's installed?
I have the same problem, except mine also does it with the
123
456
789
Caps0Symbol
keyboard. Yes, a horrid explanation, but I have no clue what the English word for it is, since I'm running Danish OS.
go here for a few fixes

same happened to me today, and it came back after doing the regedit fix
i found that the change to T9 mode in advance config or HDtweak was what was causing it to come back
have now disabled all the T9 options throughout and seems to have stayed put
How do I completely remove t9 from full qwerty? I dont even want to see the little bar that appears when I begin to type.
Thanks

Go to touch input settings and uncheck everything.
I did, I no longer get suggestions but the knob or switch is on T9 by default when I begin to type and I get the bar above that duplicates whats being typed (in an sms for example).

Hmm strange sorry man I got nothin. Maybe disable supportmssip in hklm/software/tegic/et9 ?
Ok I noticed that its on ABC not t9 when I attempt to enter text on tasks for note for example, but text entry in sms is set to t9 by default. Weird, shoulndt it be consistent between applications.
