T9 don´t switch

I have this perfect model, but one big problem with t9 entering text. I need disable this funkcion for ever. Can somebody advice?

Hey, I am having the same issue. It always tries to predict / complete my words but it never does it correctly. I have changed it to stop doing it in both the Touch Keyboard settings and the input settings.
Any guidance would be helpful.

This will disable T9 but...
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\ and change the key "XT9SupportMSSip" from value "1" to "0".
... I did this as well as disabling the HTC built in keyboards via SKTools. I also installed 'PCMKeyboard' and 'IM selector' (To set PCM as the default).
In doing all of this, now on reset, one of the HTC keyboards still looks like it's default and I do not get predictive text anymore. Meaning that if I start a new email or sms, enter a letter in the 'To:' field, it wont suggest a contact.
I really haven't poked around as to what is going on so I'm living with it because I like the PCM keyboard to much.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Your registry advice is not working on my device.

I obtained this reg suggestion through a thread in the 'elf' forum. I needed to use it to enable 'PCMkeyboard'. Sorry, I can no longer find the thread I was reading. You may want try and search for some clues there.

i think it will fix the problem

Hi GUys
The cab file works fine so well done.....
However if you are looking to use your keypad to msg[without T9] it wont work as the file disabled the use of letters, only numbers now work
Any chance that T9 can be turned off and still be able to use keypad to msg as normal.........
Thanks

Has there been any progress on this???
I'm tired of typing using the keyboard, along with the touchscreen and suggestions being made, then if i'm not looking, i press space and it adds the damned suggestion onto what i've typed (for instance: twotoo / memean)
Very annoying when trying to type a text quickly and sneakily in work, as i've got to focus on the text and not who's around me!
If it can be switched off, I would highly appreciate it, I can't find it in the Advanced Config Tool, or under any of the settings.
Thank you,

Hate to do this, but any ideas anyone???
Thank you,

Touch Keyboard-Keypad

I installed the Touch Keyboard-Keypad and now when I slide out the full keyboard, it is still using t9. I changed the keyboard on the bottom of the screen to "keyboard" but it still says t9 at the top of the screen and my full keyboard doesn't function correctly. I'm sure there is something dumb that I am missing, anyone out there have the same problem, or a solution perhaps? Thanks!

you know what i think there are different versions of this software ill see if i can get you a copy of the one i use on my titan. send me a pm to remind me. im not near a pc now.

Hey elgreek84, I'm having the same problem along with being unable to pull from the contact list when manually adding a To: recipient. Be nice to have this working as I really like the Touch Keyboard-Keypad.

i just installed the Touch keyboard-keypad today and when i slide out my keyboard it still says xt9 or whatever at the top but i don't seem to have any problems. i guess i got the "later" version.
one thing that's annoying to me is when i pull up the Touch keyboard i can't see what i'm typing. i use Threaded SMS and when i hit New i can see what i'm typing, but if i'm just responding to a txt i can't see if what i'm typing is messing up or if it's right.

Heres the one elgreek84 hooked me up with. I haven't had a chance to test it, but he says you shouldn't have the t9 problem with it. Good luck.

thanks guys..this is what i needed...awesome...

I can't seem to get this to run (it installs) on my XV6800.

always qwerty
ok that's great but I'd like to have the qwerty keyboard all the time, because in certain apps shows the qw er... and in others the full keyboard!! Any ideas???

This is working for me, but it seems that with it enabled, it seems to disable AutoCorrect/Suggestive text... Autocorrect is checked in input options, but it just doesn't work...
In general, I wouldn't mind since the xT9 is fairly intuitive, but when I'm typing with the slide-out, I rely on it to correct the words i frequently mess up, and moreso for conjunctions (dont=don't, etc). It's too much effort to actually hit the apostrophe. So - is there any way to make xT9 NOT active when the slide is out? Or even to disable xT9 all together? I have unchecked all the boxes in the xT9 options, but it still shows xT9 at the top, and autocorrect is still broken.

Just me or is the keyboard too small ?

Hi Guys,
Got myself a magic a few days ago, love it to bits but really struggling with the OSK.. the keys are just too small to type quickly/easily.
Is it just me and my big hands ? lol
Are there any alternatives for OSK out there ? (maybe like the phonepad style that comes in HTC EZInput for WinMo?)

Not sure how the keyboard could be much bigger than it already is. The screen is 3.2 inches across (diagonal) and that's all you have to work with. All that can be done is to make the buttons on the bottom row bigger (wider) by omitting the Shift and the Del button, but that would make the qwerty layout kinda funky.

Turn it on its side (landscape mode) -- the keyboard will be bigger that way than in portrait mode.

You can install the app "big keys" in the market and see how you like that. Or you can install the htc keyboard found in the Dream forums. HTC_Chime.apk is what you are looking for.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll have a play with the HTC keyboard and see what it's like.

Does the Magic have the option of the T9 Dialpad keyboard? Or is it just a plain full QWERTY keyboard that auto-corrects?

I haven't seen a T9 option, but it's easy to turn the auto-correcting off, although it will still offer you suggestions, but won't mess with what you're writing.

...double post...

That reminds me, I must add "org" and "uk" to my dictionary so I don't keep entering my email address as [email protected]e

I do not know what video i was watching, but I saw that there was a dialer keyboard available on the HTC magic. Now, I do not know if it was a rooted phone (which it probably was) or if it was an application that was added to the phone. If I am correct, they were showing haykuro's work and it showed in the text input a dialer keyboard. If this is true, would one have to root their G2 phone for it to work? The thought of possibly bricking the phone, sort of...well...makes me feel uneasy lol.

Can't have T9 automatically ON for HW keyboard

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.

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?

touch HD keyboard. yes. i read the forum rules

Hello everyone!
Just a quick question. I have had to start a new thread as no one seems to be answering on the other threads.
I have the HTC touch HD. Now i got a registry editor last night solely to see if i could change the scanning frequencies that it uses to see if i could get it to lock onto a particular usa 3g band.
However in the process i see that when im typing a message now the keyboard (The HTC full qwerty one) now doesnt show the menu with the numbers running along the top and the most common symbols when i press the abc key to enter just numbers or symbols. I now have to press and hold the relative key so that they little grey version can be used.
This is frustrating me as i love this keyboard and i want it the way it was. restoring the registry has had no effect.
Any assistance rendered would be really useful.
Many thanks

Thats what you get for messing with registry
Only thing i can think of is a Hard Reset.

I am not sure how you made the "number" input keyboard missing with the Regedit. But as far as I know if you've installed one of the HTC hotfixes namely BLAS00369 Office Mobile Enhancement, it will make the number input keyboard missing. Once installed that hotfix you will no longer be able to fix the problem except a HARD reset. As my advice goes, do NOT install that particular hotfix upon your re-installation then you are OK. Let me know if this solves your problem.

have you tried installing another keyboard and switching back and forth to see if that helps?

*UPDATE*
Thanks for the help all. yes i had used the hotfix and i then saw that my problem was the exact same one that other users had experienced. upon navigating to the correct threads i saw the relevant solutions. I installed the suggested keyboards and removed them. then it all started working again. Stupid hotfix....
thanks very much
