Phone pad for M700 - P3600 General

I apologise in advance if this subject has already been covered but....
I have just changed from MDA compact 2 (terrible service from T Mobile ) to SPV M700 with orange. So far all is well but I do miss the predictive text phone pad style input method for SMS, notes etc etc. So much quicker to run off a note with my thumb than getting stylus out all the time, how can I sneaky text @ work with the stylus
From reading around I think I'm after the HTC touch pad or the T9 pad but am not totally sure and also can find where to down load either of these from. I have found many 'skins' but if Im right htey will simply change the look of my phone screen and not actually add the phone pad to the list of options along with the keyboard, transcriber etc
Any and all advice, links etc very much appreciated

You can download the .cab file as suggested in the following thread:

Or you can use the search function with: "Phonepad International" and get different looking ones.

Keyboard Miss Match

I bought my XDA Mini s from eBay and it is branded O2. I use it on Cingular so I loaded the ROM found here Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.
Most everything works except;
1) Skype will not connect to GPRS or WiFi - it always thinks it is doconnected
2) Ade this is really strange. The characters that appear do not always match the ones printed on the keys when using the slide-down keyboard. Usually one character off.
I really NEED a fix for two - BAD. Please help
3) Wifi just will not connect to security-enabled AP's. it will connect to open AP's.
Yo, if you look closely at your Mini S and then at the K-jam and 8125, you will notice that the keys are not in the same placement. The mini S is either a UK (yes there's a difference) or a german keyboard. The others are US/worldwide versions. Go download registry editor on this site, its on the thread called "easy tweaking your wizard. On the second page of tweaks, it lets you choose keyboard versions. The correct one is Englisch (not a spelling error).
Keyboard solved
Thanks for the tip and thanks to the author of the treaking program.
I have decided to got back to the OS ROM because I cannot get Skype (which I use a lot) to run using the Cingular ROM.

Is there no T9 predictive texting on a vario II

My o2 mini xda s had predictive texting, I found this useful as I could write a quick text with one hand rather than holding the device with both hands. Has this been removed from the vario II? and can i get it back, i don't mind installing a different rom etc..
Cheers

You can install the phone pad, it's on ftp:

T9 Input

Hi, ive searched pretty much for the last few hrs on the site, im looking to make the t9 input pad bigger. I downloaded a HTC Input WWE cab onto my wm6 XDA EXEC, its really small, i could before use my little finger to write sms on the front screen. Is there another cab i can use to make it bigger? or a reg hack.
Thanks in advance,
Have you tried this....

HTC Diamond Keyboard Issues on Mogul

Hi Guys,
after playing for about a week with the touch diamond keyboard on my mogul I've come to the conclusion of being the best SIP touch keyboard i've ever used BUT (here is the good part)
*"DO NOT INSTALL IT ON YOUR MOGUL UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CONTACT PREDICTION TO GO AWAY WHILE WRITING A MESSAGE OR EMAIL, SUPER SLOW INPUT WHILE WRITING AND ALSO IT TOOK 9 MINUTES TO UNINSTALL."*
with that being said it is up to you if you want to give it a try.

Other issues are that some are not able to uninstall unless they hard reset, issues arise with your physical keyboard.
These are not issues that arised on the 6800, but rather most devices out in the market. It has been stated in the thread with the leaked attached software that the software is very buggy and doesn't have proper testing.
Install at your own risk. I personally rather use the HTC Touch Keyboard and Keypad which is almost identical except for the skin.

Does this break the autocomplete feature for the slide out keyboard on sms/mms contacts too or just for the SIP keyboard?
Carlos, do you have a cab to upload for that HTC Touch keyboard? Cannot find by searching XDA.

Sweet, perfect. My cab directory on the server is stocked! \
edit: this cab breaks autocomplete too, huh?
any workaround? That is a rather good feature.

auto complete only seems to work when you use xt9.
but other then that idk if there would be a way to be enable it.
I installed it and used it for a while... i must say its a great keyboard for a touchscreen... but then i realized the main reason why i got the mogul vs the touch, THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD!
This completely screwed up the autocomplete in emails and sms, text predictions and SIP options, even when using the hardware keyboard.
Uninstalling was a nightmare... so I did a hard reset and went on with my happy mogul...
I still think its a great software keyboard, but for a devise that its designed to... not the mogul
The Diamond keyboard seems to work on my Telus P4000 running DCD3.0.4 with the only bug being that when you press a key the icon for the selected key is really big but this goes away as soon as you life your finger so it isn't a big deal. Autocomplete seems to work for me but I never used it much so I may not be testing what others say is not working. If I create a new SMS and start typing in someone's name using any of the Diamond keyboards (since there are 3) or the hardware keyboard the name comes up before I finish typing so I don't think there's any issue with that.
The Touch keyboard is almost the same you say? I may have to try that one...
touch keyboard
Aledc78:
Just for clarification, the keyboard you had so much trouble with prediction and uninstalling was the Touch, or was it the Diamond? I'd really like to give the touch one a shot. My large fingers are WAY too big to even consider using the default WM6 keyboard, its a joke. I can't give up prediction though, and as a general rule I steer clear of anything that is a "nightmare" to uninstall.

I managed to uninstall Diamond keyboard. I used SK Tools to uninstall and voila...it got uninstalled
Stay away
Yeah, this keyboard is really a pile of crap. It broke all my auto complete, and it also broke the ability to page down by pressing the space bar in a browser. And mine wouldn't install at all, it sat there for over 30 minutes doing nothing, I had to hard reset to get rid of it.
Seriously, if you want a device without a keyboard, just buy a touch. A physicial keyboard is better than any soft ketboard anyway
I found the latest version of the CooTek TouchPal keyboard with the Diamond theme works a lot better on the Mogul than the Diamond Keyboard. It's not free though.
CoolTek
Still, compared to the Diamond ported keyboard, CoolTek sucks.
I'm surprised that the problem with inputting contacts and having them autocomplete via the Hardware Keyboard is still broken. The hardware keyboard is generally preferred, but the Diamond port is amazing in small spaces / one handed typing.
anyone know of a fix?

Touch Pad T9 from HTC
I can't find it anywhere
EDIT: I have attached a keyboard .cab that came from an HTC, I've had this one before too, but I don't use t9 dial pads, so I am not certain if it has that feature. Anyways, it is uninstalled because I hate this keybaord (I replaced it with SPB Keyboard)
Does it work?
yes, that's what i need! (without t9) but I can't find a cab anywhere..
