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.
Seriously...is there no way to permanently disable this onscreen keyboard? It is ridiculous!
Does this happen with all WM5 devices?

Install it and set it as your default keyboard.
Please, does anyone have a more reliable and permanent way to disable the onscreen keyboard? Perhaps a registry edit? I have tried several of the null programs and none are effective. This pop-up is really ruining my experience. Any help is appreciated.
Currently I am running an 8125 with summiters 2.17 ROM.
How is this not perment? You set that to be the default keybaord and it will never show up.
None of the null programs have proven to be permanent on my device. And all of them often have an issue of not being able to choose nullkb if the pop-up is already onscreen.
This is not a solution. I need something to permanently remove/disable the onscreen keyboard.

See my post in another thread "Disable virtual keyboard via registry"
why would you go and do that. Install TenGo and you'll see a better on screen keyboard.

Tengo seems like a cool app but I think the real quest in this thread is about preventing the virtual keyboard from auto-popping up. Couldn't tell if Tengo has a mode where it does not pop-up unless the keyboard icon is explicitly tapped.
Does anyone know if it is possible to prevent the soft keyboard from popping up. It' really annoying - especially when I don't want to use it like when I'm browing the internet or something and it's so bloody persistent!!
It can probably be hacked to disable it, but the easiest way is to install a null keyboard SIP. I use external keyboard from PHM tools. It's free and it works.

When I use HW keyboard it always has ABC mode on. I have to use FN key and T9 key to choose T9 manually.
How can I enable T9 to be automatically ON when I use HW keyboard?
Thank you for your help
the t9 always works with a onscreen keyboard. Also if you manage it with a hack a problem would be to where the word suggestions should pop up on the screen.
when someone write a programme for your suggestion than it would be a custom keyboard without letters, only word suggestions and pops automaticly up when the keyboard on the pro is used.
Maybe someone already wrote it.
It would be nice trough
Search for the cab god damn it! There is a cab in one of the ezinput keyboard threads in dev & hacking that allows T9 to always be on (Yes, including the HW keyboard).

You don't happen to have a link to this cab at hand, do you? I for one would like to have the T9 always on (even with the hw keyboard), but did not manage to find the correct thread / cab even after an extensive search.
I searched with no result, unfortunately. If you could be so kind to address me to that cab, I would be very grateful indeed.

Oh that was so hard I almost had to use my brain
First result when searching on ezinput T9 always enable came up trumps...
DeadKeys / T9 as default behaviour for the Fn+Space combo - Full HW Keyboard phones
I thank you very much. Even if I walk around here for years, sometimes it happens that I am not able to find out things. Fortunately there are others who help
You're very welcome, glad to help.
Thanks for pointing out about the keyboard, did you test it and it works?
why not FN + Space It´s working at my device
Because I would like that when I slide out the keyboard I can immediately type with T9 on, without switching it on manually - this is the meaning of "automatically ON"
okaaaay. sry for that, but just tell me the sense of T9 with a "complete" keyboard!?? Do you also have T9 at your computer at home?

I see a couple of ways T9 is useful with the full keyboard.
1. Words like "won't" can be typed out with w-o-n-t rather than w-o-n-FN-'-t
2. It helps with long words. We can use the arrow keys to choose the word after a couple of letters rather than typing out the rest of the word.
There's a fundamental difference between the keyboard on a mobile device like the Rhodium and your desktop keyboard. On our Rhodium, we have only our 2 thumbs. On a full size desktop/notebook, we make use of all 10 of our fingers.
It seems that we are concentrating on why I have asked to have T9 ON, while I was asking HOW to have it on.
If you don't agree that it is a good thing that somebody finds out how to, simply don't post here
I never used T9 but it supposed to offer words from vocabulary? in my case it doesn't...
well, has someone found a way to make this work on landscape or hardware keyboard ??
having to always activa xt9 is boring ..
(that cab does not work) looking at the registry is changes from 1 to 0 when changing to landscape and it's the htc keyboard doing this. If you activate xt9 and change to the default windows keyboard it works but then you have a small keyboard when on portait.
I agree, the same thing happens to me. The easiest solution is to have it rotate to portrait, pull up the XT9 keyboard and then open the screen.
It's a pain, though. Would love another solution.
Dead key
None of CABs which can be found here are not working the way that if I will press Fn+Sym it acts as deadkey - always T9 dialog is shown. Have anybody idea how to change it?
Hi everyone...
I need advice on how to resolve this problem. When i select full qwerty keyboard option, the keyboard with ABC missing, only the numbers keyboard appears.
I read somewhere that people mentioned to deactivate T9 and problem will solved. I tried but nothing happen, problem still exits. I also tried soft reset a few times, problem is still there.
My HD is running on WM 6.5, is there a bug that causes this? I tried to select other keyboard, such as phone keypad and compact qwerty, nothing happen, still the same numbers keyboard appears.
Anyone please help...desperate here...
Thanks so much
did you install HD tweak and enable T9? if yes, then disable, soft-reset and that should correct the problem.

Hi brother cortez, thanks for your reply. I have not install tweak. I did try to disable T9 and soft reset, but it couldn't help.
I did a hard reset at last. But it happens again. I just found out that it is the problem with a program called ZTA4 which is a IME i installed for chinese input. I uninstall this software and the issue to missing keyboard will be solved. I then re-install the program again. Not sure if this is the right way to do it, but it solves the missing keyboard issue.
