When you are creating a message or a note, and you use the touch keypad as the input (whether using the touch screen or hardware keypad while TOUCH KEYPAD is selected as the input type) the letters are highlighted when you create a message, but if you text fast, and press space, your previously inputted word will dissapear. Is there anyway to stop it from doing this?
Trying selecting the keyboad layout entry and use the hardware keypad, this does not appear.
Any help on this?

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.

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

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
I have just upgraded to the new official WM 6.1 ROM, and have noticed that before, when I would type a new text message and begin typing in the name of one of my contacts in the "To:" box, their name and number would come up so i could just choose it without having to type out their full name. Now I can not do that anymore, I am not sure if it is after installing the touch (original not diamond) keyboard because i never tried text messaging before installing it. Is there a way to get this feature back, because it is much easier than having to click menu add recipient.
Also, for the touch keyboard, is there a way to choose the full qwerty keyboard always, because whenever i try to make a new text message, I can only get the phone pad like keyboard (three letters per block) or the qwerty with two letters per block, is there a way to always get the full qwerty?

It has been my experience that this is due to the Touch Keyboard. I had that same problem, along with characters not typing correctly when I used the hardware keyboard, that made me un-install it from my Sprint Mogul.
Also, it is a known problem with the Touch Keyboard that it will not let you select the full QWERTY keyboard. I know there is a fix for it by using an altered Touch Keyboard, but when I tried the altered one it also had the same problems as the original, so I un-installed that one as well. My advice to you would be to un-install the Touch Keyboard and use something else like PCM Keyboard, that is the one I use most.
Another thing, it might take quite a long time for the Touch Keyboard to un-install. I know I had to leave my phone sit for about 10-15 minutes with the wait cursor spinning around in the Remove Programs setting before it finally was deleted.
I hope this helps!
its not a keyboard problem thats how 6.1 is my phone does the same thing regardless of what keyboard im using
it seems to be a problem with the touch keypad, as after uninstalling it, I am able to select my contacts for a text message as soon as I begin typing their name. Thanks for the help.
I have an HTC Touch Dual and when I try to use the qwery keypad to write an sms it only shows up as numbers, how do I fix this?
press and hold the star key until you get a little menu, then select xt9 or abc.
I have just got a Sony XP1 and when I go to type a text message, I don't have the option to use the Phone Keypad as an input method????!!!
This can't be right??
Can anyone help????
Can anyone please tell me how to get the touch screen phone keypad on for text inputting? Please?????
I'm not sure what you want to know?
How to use the phone keypad to enter a message, ie. the number keys on the dialer? Or to use the touch screen keyboard?
Touch whatever symbol is displayed at the bottom of the screen in the middle, if it doesn't bring the keyboard up touch the triangle, and change the input to keyboard.

I have a Diamond with BsB6.5Q ROM.
Hi there, don't know if this is a ROM issue or a WM6.5 issue. I use the Compact QWERTY that is supplied in this ROM - I prefer to use the "phone keypad" style of keyboard. As I do 95% of my texts in the native Welsh language, I keep T9 switched off (there is no such feature in Welsh). However, when I write a text message in Welsh sometimes the spacebar won't work - it simply won't let me put a space there - I have to press 'enter' then 'backspace' to remove the restriction. This is not a screen sensitivity issue, because the 'shadow' appears above the spacebar to signify that it has been pressed. This problem doesn't arise when writing English texts, so I'm assuming that the problem occurs because the phone is trying to be clever and trying to predict that there shouldn't be a space after a certain letter.
I've looked through the settings and I can't find anything to switch this off. Any ideas?
Also, when writing, I would really like to be able to move the cursor backwards and forwards through the text, say if I want to correct an earlier error. Having to press the desired location with my finger is not good enough, because I need three or four attempts to get it right due to being the owner of a large thumb. I was then thinking about the Diamond's scroll wheel - this would be ideal for the job. Is there any way use that to scroll, i.e. anti-clockwise to move cursor to the left, clockwise to move right?
Thanks
Right, please ignore my last paragraph above - I completely forgot about the up/down/left/right buttons around the scroll wheel. The Left/Right buttons do exactly what I want.
Now, all I want is a fix for my keyboard problem (1st paragraph). It only happens for some words, and when it happens I cannot type any of the punctuation characters - I can only continue typing letters. Also when this happens the word (or most of it) is underlined. I don't understand why the word that's currently being typed would need to be underlined. It seems like parts of T9 is still on, even in ABC mode.
Any ideas?
