Hey all, just wondering if anyone out there would know how to edit the reply button in the standard wm6 sms notification to open pocketcm in landscape mode? This would be really helpful in that you would have a much larger, more convenient kb, and have it do it automatically everytime.
Thanks, Jim.
Tene, the developer of pocketCM keyboard said this was not possible to do automatically. The best method is to map a key on your device to do the rotate screen. Unfortunately you will likely still need to open (press the keyboard icon) the keyboard once it changes orientations.

with my german MDA Pro I experience a very annoying behavior of the software keybord (the one displayed on the screen). Whenver I focus an textfield (i.e. pocketIE adressbar, or when renaming a file in total commander etc.) that software keyboard pops up. Now as long as I am in portrait mode that MIGHT be a helpful feature. But when I am in landscape mode and I have the hardwarekeyboard available this is useless and annoying. So is there a way to surpress this? I seems that this popup does nto happen always. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't - I just was not able to find out what it depends on.
Same Prob too.
It sucks !
Someone can help ?
PHM PowerToys has an "Extended Keyboard SIP" bundled in with all its other goodies. No keyboard pops up when you select that as your default input method.
I found a "ripped" version of just the keyboard SIP without having to install all the other stuff.

Let me know if this works for you.
what does this keyboard tool actually do? does it just set some registry setting ? can I uninstall it after I have run it ? Or must this App raun ALL THE TIME to make it work ? (the latter would suck since eats ressources)
It just add another SIP into your other one
But this time, it will show nothing so you can use your keyboard freely
And no, it should not take up any resource, if any, it will be very very very little
Fear not chaps, I posted about this and just use the hard keyboard and it 'learns' not to pop up in landscape mode.
Hope it helps
it does learn, but i think it learned by selecting an alternative input as the default.
how can I quickly change from portrait to landscape and viceversa without going through the menu? Is there a way to make some sort of shortcut to the command?
Portrait/landscape shortcut?
Yep, I'm experiencing the same issue. It is strane because the S100 have this shortcut on the screen, why it is not on the S200?
Someone can help?
Of course you can. Just go to the hardware buttons settings, pick your favorite button and assign the rotate screen command to it
But what about the icon like the one from S100?? Can anyone post here the registry hack for that??
I don't believe there is a reg edit for this. The on screen icon with the S100 was a native feature for WM2003 that no longer exists with WM5.
Assign a hardware button to this task.
is there a soft keyboard out there that has a ".com" key like the iphone? i find that key very useful on the iphone and would make typing a little easier as wm.
thanks
There are skins for PCM Keyboard that have that functionality. Check here: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/list.php?14 for more info.

thanks for pointing me to pcm kb guys...
i've been playing with it for a few hours and the first one i tried was max's skin. i love all the stuff you have in it, but it took up too much real estate on my screen, esp. in landscape mode. so after trying out a few more, settled on the smaller htctoucher LIGHT layout for the dream skin which is a bit more compact.
also, i am finding that each time i reboot my wing, it goes back to the default wm keyboard, is there a way to have the pcm my default kb?
thanks again.
try TouchPal
There's a lil program call SIPSelect (I think) that runs during startup that changes your SIP to whichever you want
With Touchpal you can also create personal messages and select them in a second...
It has also what you are searching for...
Touchpal has a button to enter a web site address..
You can push it and you only have to enter the name of the site, "www" and ".com" are automatically written....
is there a link for touchpal? i thought it was just another skin for pcm. i'm going to look into the sipselect thing when i get home tonight.
thanks
You can find TouchPal here:

it is by far the best soft keyboard out there.
you can even use gestures to control the size of the keyboard dynamically.
Hi All,
I am a newbie to I have a htc touch. I am trying to install Pocket CM keypad on my phone. I downloaded the .cab file from the website and i copied it to my phone using activesync. When i click on that cab file I just get a message Pocket CM installation unsuccessful.
Please let me how to install it. Also i want to install the contact on my phone
Also can someone suggest which is the best keypad software I can install. Also what is the software I have to install to switch the phone from potrait mode landscape mode and vice versa
Best input soft - EzInput
Screen rotation software - Windows Mobile Settings -> |System| -> Screen -> Landscape or tap screen rotation icon on HTC Home Launcher tab.
Thanks for that input. But that will permanently change the screen to landscape mode. I want it only on need basis. That is why I posted.
Besides In my phone i have two keypads. One is touch keypad and another touch keyboard.
The problem is most of the times when not reqd "touch keyboard" which is qwerty shows up.
When i want to type a message or a document then only "touch keypad" shows up.
This is highly irritating. Can somebody help me how to get around this. I want to use the qwerty keyboard for typing messages and working with doc.
I have been reading in the website that it is possible to have the qwerty keyboard working with messaging or while typing email
Can some body please tell me how to enable/disable the 20 key keypad and enable the touch keyboard when reqd.
Please please post a reply
I tried the work around of setting the registry key. but now i am having other problems when i press the green button the call keypad does not come. I also cannot press the button 1 to rotate the screen.
Now I have changed the registry key back now. Now I am back to square 1. The two key touch keypad appears for messaging or email. But i cant get the qwerty keypad.
Can some one point me to the fix for the same please. so that i can use the touch keyboard for messaging.
Many thanks in advance
Man, try EzInput. It looks better, works better and touch keypad doesn't switch to qwerty in some apps - you can choose which do you want! Touch keypad OR qwerty. I'm using it 'cause this switching freaked me a lot and now it's OK with EzInput
Can you please point me to the ezinput cab file and how to install it please. Many thanks in advance
