Select input method is really slow ?

Hi all
Hope you all had a great christmas
Okay, back to my question ... when you tap on the input method selection arrow at the bottom of your screen, does it take like forever ... okay, not forever, but more like 6-8 seconds ... for the popup menu to appear and let you select type of input method to use ?
Is there a way to speed this up ?

Takes forever here too. I did use Tweak2k2 to hide some SIPs I never use, plus I have Calligrapher installed.

If you've installed too many sips and uninstalled them....basically messed around with the SIPs (installing and uninstalling)....the registry gets messed up. This makes wm5 to keep thinking and looking for certain dlls until it gives up...
the only way is, do a cleanup (hard reset) and install only the ones you need and are sure of sticking with it until the next hard reset
cheers!

Do you have Voice Command installed? If you do, that will slow down the SIP selection.

Wonder if it's a WM5 thing because I noticed it on my Wizard and now on my Magician II and just assumed that it was due to the 200Mhz processor. If you're seeing in on a Universal then I guess it can't be a processor thing. It is BLOODY annoying as I only ever use Letter Recogniser and very occasionally the Keyboard, but for some reason it keeps defaulting to the keyboard, particularly aftr the (all too frequent in WM5) soft reset.

Any tips?

Hmmm, as a matter of fact, i do have Voice Command installed ... but I seem to recall seeing this slow SIP selection even before that. Anyway, I have disabled Voice Command and it's still just as slow.
Can anyone else here who does not have Voice Command installed verify this ?

Indeed, it is bloody annoying ... I don't see how popping up a menu of available input methods can take that long. It's not like we're asking it to load all the input methods, we just wanna see the list of available methods.
I am also facing the same problem of defaulting to keyboard after a soft reset :roll:

The thing is, I have not installed or tried out any SIPs other than the ones that came default in the o2 ROM. Can I ask how long does it take for your SIP selection menu to popup ?

No Voice Command installed here and still a very slow SIP menu.....

I have a qtek 9000 running on the stock rom. My sip opens up almost instantaneously.
Before which, I had the same issue when I was beta testing calligrapher on another device running wm5. It apparently was a problem with one of the beta builds of calligrapher which they claim to have fixed in their final release...however, I've never installed the final release on my universal. So if you have CG installed, try not to install after a hard reset (Last time i had this issue, i had to hard reset...that was the only way out)

VJBigPhone, T-Mobile Videobutton on MDAPro

Hi all,
I am aware about all the other threads but yet could not get across some nonsense on my MDA Pro.
I went back to the t-Mobile ROM because of german support on many features but running ozVGA now successfully with two exceptions:
1. Each time I reset the device, I have to reinstall vjbigphone (0.91) and re-run the .exe to get my dialer back to full screen. VJ did a real got job, but I hope anyone coud tell me, what could be wrong?
2. Does anyone know, how to get rid of the stupid and ugly video-button in the t-mobile dialer? I replaced all BMPs with the one's from iMate, but yet video is the stupid grey. flat button.
Once this is solved, I will write down exactly how to get really the tiny machine running with the best tools for best results.
Greetings
ndee

ndee: why do you have to re-install the app?
After a soft reset, what happens when you choose the "load and fix" option from the tray?
I am hoping to spend some time on this app over the next few days. Many apps being fixed, one a at time...

Hi Vijay,
when I softreset, everything on the phone is back to the tiny layout. Even though I "load and fix".
Only workaraound I figured out is reinstall :-(
ndee

Strange - I know we spoke about this before, but then, after you re-install it works?
Have you tried not loading VJBigPhone, soft reset, load the phone (eg press green key, so you can see Tiny buttons) and then load VJBigPhone. Does that make any difference? Re-installing shouldn't make any difference, it doesn't load any settings etc from the registry etc...
v

I have some similiar problems. I'm using also the neweset german ROM on my MDA Pro and after a soft reset I don't have to reinstall the app, but I have to close it and restart it again to gain access to the phone application. Without close VJBigPhone nothing happens, after starting the application again everything works fine (till the next soft reset, which happens every morning after the daily backup)
Wolfgang

I have an idea what might be the problem then.
The code was modified a while back to try to find the "phone" program without you having to specify the name in your own language (eg "telefon" instead of "phone"). However, it's possible that if the phone isn't found, it's getting confused. I'll try to look at the code again soon.
I'm not writing any new programs for a while while I do updates to all the old stuff
V

out of sudden, I dont need to reinstall anymore. Just after reset, I run vjbigphoneres and phone comes up full screen. Dont know what I did and how long it will last - keep you informed though - thx so far.
Any solution for the ugly video button of TM insight?
ndee

TM Button: I know you've spoken about it for a while, but I've got no experience of it, I don't really use my Universal I think someone (you?) posted one before, but could you send me a screenshot if you've got appropriate software, and if you have them, a zip of your extended rom?

Cootek Touchpal

Has anyone seen/tried this? It looks very similar to pocketcm keyboard, only suretype style...
http://www.cootek.com/index.html
It's a free download until Dec 8th, 2008...

Cool stuff
This is indeed a great soft keyboard. I found the following reviews around this product, pretty amazing:
http://www.maxartonline.com/
http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/software/great_new_soft_keyboard.html

I can't get this to work.. Like some other keyboard, I suspect this could be due to the Chinese software / input method I've installed on my Trinity.
Can anyone with Asia ROM (with CE Star installed) confirm this?
So so sad...
[Edit] Ha!! ya, got it to work.. need to softreset after installation. Fantastic piece of application!!
[Edit 2] Ha!! You can drag the keypad and move them to your prefered position, e.g. spacing in the centre!!!

I think it just 'white-screened' my phone.
damnit. I tried to set it as a default input and now I may have to hard reset.

Seems you have to switch to TouchPal manually They didn't make it to be default IME in this version.
It works perfectly on my HTC Touch. So coooooooool stuff...
I really love word assoication feature...

Did you have to uninstall any other SIPs first? I had a couple other ones, including phonepad. I actually wasn't able to select it from the input selector, which is why I tried to make it the default.

Just paste the following to another thread:
Did you soft-reset your device? And it is possible that TouchPal is incompatible with some other non-default soft keyboards. My friend got TouchPal work after uninstalling a Chinese keyboard and reinstall TouchPal->Soft-Reset. He decided not to go back to other keyboard, even decide to give up hardware keyboard.

Hmmm. My device is now reset, and I have restored it to it's previous settings. I uninstalled tengo keyboard, and am now disabling spb fullscreen keyboard and phonepad.
Currently, TouchPal shows up in my SIP list, but I just can't select it still.
Update: still not working after disabling all other input methods besides the standard keyboard. will have to try something else...or give up...

do you have password setup for your device? if not, it is worthy of trying setup a password for your device. someone fixed this issue by this approach.

Nope. Dead end. I'm actually running BBConnect, so there's an override of the windows password with the new BBSecurity. It actually crashed my phone again. I'm restoring back to normal and throwing in the towel for tonight.
Thanks for your help anyways!

Hi
Did you soft reset after installing TouchPal? When I first install, I can't select it as well. After uninstalling it, I reinstall again and did a soft reset. And now it works well.

i don't know then. btw, what type of device are you using?

don't work on my p3600. when i try to select touchpal as a imput it set to normal keyboard. i soft reset , uninstall , reinstall , nothing... it don't work to me... any solution?

i have a trinity. i definitely tried the uninstall and soft reset but it didnt work. it's really strange since tengo, phonepad and fingertouch all installed no problem!

It's really wierd.. How come for some no prob, for the others failed??

did you guys try the stuff in the following link:

Not sure it works or not

Although I can select TouchPal after my installation, this morning I also experienced bring it back on (cos I select Phonepad after my last reset). I have experience difficulty in the SMS. So what I did is went to Contact and select TouchPal there, and managed to get it working. Then when I went back to SMS, TouchPal is still working there. Try it see whether this works for you guys.

Hmm...that's an interesting tactic. When I think back, I remember actually having to set the other SIPs as the default first to get it working.
Do you have G4 SIP Hide on your trinity? I needed to install it to make Phonepad work, and wonder if that could be causing an issue with Touchpal (not likely, but who knows...)

Nope, I don't use G4 SIP Hide. Not sure what it is also.

How about with pocketCM?
Anyone having any luck sending sms with pocketCM? I got the SIP input to work but cannot "send" from pocketCM.
Very nice SIP though...

Inesoft Phone 4 CallerID Problem

Hello!
I'm just trying the IneSoft Phone 4.4, because of its nice History features and callerID. I installed the trial version and initially everything worked fine. But after two days the CallerID does only show the default screen, instead of the skin i selected. Although I tried to select different skins and soft-reseted the phone I always get the default skin.
Does anyone has the same problem or any idea how to fix this issue?! (Reinstalling did not help!)
Or even better: Is there any free callerID supporting the "Mute Call" function (SUS2 unfortunately only support accept/reject call).
greetings,
gordon

Me too
Did you get any reply about this or find a solution elsewhere?

maybe because it's trial that's why it always displays the default skin.

I've searched many forums including Modaco and found a few posts from users having the same problem but unfortunately no solution
I dont think because its trial because initially it worked properly. The trial period is 14 days and it stopped working after three days. I checked the registry keys of inesoft and also the registry contains information to use the right callerID skin (standard_v.cid).
I'm uninstalling this program now and looking forward to try Iconsoft PhoneEx.

I had same problem and moved to Iconsoft Phone extender 1.2 which basically does the same function.

Hello! I've the same problem with IneSoft Phone 4.4, I've tried to uninstall the software then delete the registry keys and reinstall it again, the problem still here.
So I try the Iconsoft Phone Extension 1.2, it's look great and more smooth than the IneSoft Phone. However, I've found that the "#" button is no function after install this software.
So I'll get back to the IneSoft Phone, although just only could use with the default skin.

i have inesoft phone for about 2 months now but version 4.2 only but doesn't give me any problem like what you guys described

How to make keyboard change permanent

I replaced the infernal iPhone keyboard with the blessed fingerkeyboard.
But every restart activates the old nasty again and I have to manually switch.
Anyone have a registry hack for this?

Hello,
Search using this....http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all for an app called Sip Change. Install it, set your preferred keyboard and you are good to go.

Thanks for the hint, but I already tried SIP Change and it crashes every time my device (re)boot

Eh? Works absolutely fine on my device.
Take a look at some of the other software or keyboards you have loaded up. The problem may lie there. Also ensure Sip Changer to the phone memory if you can.
WB

Can confirm that the SIP change app works without issues...after a couple of crashes to start with. Try the software got st least a day or two before giving up...
