Hello,
I've run into an odd problem with my HD and clueless on how to fix it. It seems that when I type using the compact qwerty and phone pad keyboards, pressing a letter key will instead produce a number. For example, if I wanted to type out an A letter, the number 2 comes out instead, M comes out as 6, T as 8, etc. Its always the little symbol above the letters for each key. However, the full qwerty keyboard works fine.
Any idea how I can get it back to normal? Any help would be much appreciated.

I had this same problem and I fixed it by disabling T9 mode in HDTweak.

I just recently purchased an atom stealth. Its been ok so far except for the Ezitext "multi-tap" recognition of the letters I input on the keypad.
Its very slow for typing letters. It takes about less than a second for the letter to get accepted. During the "wait time", it basically waits to see if i will change the letter I chose.
Is there any way to tweak the input method to make it recognize the letters I key-in faster?
Its very slow for SMS standards, expecially in the Philippines where Texting is an everyday communications medium.
Thanks in advance.
Good news
I just upgraded my ROM and the eZiTEXT bug has been fixed so smsing is almost like a nokia keypad There is also a multi-tap feature installed if you are more comfortable using that over ezitext.
see the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282292&highlight=stealth "where can i find english rom for o2 atom stealth?" and download it from the link provided there by the user wepinbell2000
Thanks.
May I ask for a favor..... (and for all who upgraded to the new rom)
Can you try the multitap function and is if you can immediately move on to the next letter, of if you can immediately choose a new key right after another?
say...... if you press "2" then immediately followed by "3" on the physical keypad, do you get both the letters "a" and "d" or do you just get "d"?
this is the problem i have on my curreny rom 061128, it only recognizes the last letter i chose, not unless I wait for the letter to be accepted which takes about 3/4 of a second.
I text very fast using multitap (like in nokia).
thanks again.
EZITEXT a big mess....
any one out there who knows how to tweak/fix eZitext on my XDA Stealth... device performance is acceptable enough, but the built-in sliding pad is a big HEADACHE...
i think the design of the keypad is meant to have the STEALTH perform as a normal phone (eg NOKIA series) for text/nos inputs, but the functionality is far worst than expected...
1) eZitext has no options/menus to change some settings...
2) whenever a push on the keypad is conducted, it would be recognized, but the device will start to provide SUGGESTED WORDS that totally BUGS me OFF...
3) for fast texters, TYPED letters are not automatically displayed, leaving it to wait for additional characters thus waiting for suggested words to be formed...
Why can't they make that KEYPAD worked like the KEYPAD of XDAIIs... "WHAT YOU PRESS IS WHAT YOU GET"... regardless of what keypad options you choose... i would rather want to see this device performing, like when i want letter "C", i just need to press "2" 3x...
eZitext is annoying and should be named as EZ---- hehehe...
thanks for the future help...
Hi, I am trying to write a program for Dopod C730. I am using VB.net Compact framework with WM6 standard SDK. However, when I put it to run in the C730, I can't input the characters in the textbox with those keys also represent numbers. For example, the key "E" should also represent number 1 in the keyboard. No matter "text" mode / "numeric" mode, the key "E" always be number 1. In other words, I can't input character "E" in the textbox in any input mode. Does anyone have any idea?
Thank you very much.

No. That's hardware keyboard. It is very weird...... That's a very very basic function and the program is running normal in the emulator. Don't know whether it is the bug in Dopod's rom or build-in .net runtime......
I'm noticing the same exact problem with my Dopod C730 using Windows Live Search. I can use all functions of Windows Live Search (http://wls.live.com), except for typing in a destination since I only get numbers or special characted (up, down, tab, etc.) when hitting the corrosponding letters on the QWERTY keyboard.
Any help on this would be really great!
Thanks,

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.
Dear follow DZ owner:
Just bought my DZ today, and disappointed to find a hardware problem.
1. the "printing" of the symbol on the hardware keyboard doesn't match with the soft keyboard, this creates a lot of trouble for the user who get used to the standard HTC layout. e.g. # is on S key and $ is on D key while on soft keyboard @ is on S and # is on D
2. the strange thing is the symbol output from the hardware keyboard IS indeed still based on the soft keyboard layout, which means what you type on the hardware keyboard is NOT what you get from output on the screen.
e.g. printing of the # is on the S key, however output generates by long press S is @ and the worst is output by pressing FN + S gives #.
I didn't see anyone discussing this issue. Am I the only one that is bug by this problem/issue???
In your second picture, it shows that your on-screen keyboard is the English keyboard ("EN"). Press the soft key towards bottom left and you should be able to select different languages, is there one that matches better in that list ?

Sorry, what I was trying to point out is that, when a key combine with FN its output is not the same as long press on a key.
Will remapping keys help fix this problem?
I'm also using HK version, but I don't use the built-in IME since I type in PinYin普通话拼音, didn't notice that issue.
If you wanna have a look at the key-mapping, go
/system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad-hk.kl

pull it to your computer and open it with text editor, notepad or UltraEdit etc.
The reason its like this is simple.
The hardware keyboard has its own design, made to make our use easier (according to the guys at HTC), however this keyboard still runs on the SAME software used to run the on screen touch keyboard this is why when you do things like long press you still get certain behaviours of the touch keyboard.
You will either need to remap, or just simply get used to the new layout, it will happen over time.
@OP: your key map doesn't match your physical keyboard.
@Lennyuk: No.

That's the whole point, the stupid HTC guy think the new key layout will help the user. The truth is they are re inventing the wheel.

Sometimes when entering data in a form, the standard stock samsung keyboard is replaced by a numeric pad - containing only large numbers in.
I would like to activate this pad at will, since it's a lot easier to enter numbers.
Anyone know it is possible?

it is possible if the coder set the attribute for the text box, so that it display a numpad instead of ordinary keyboard.
Yes, that's what I thought.
It sure would be nice to activate it from the user side when needed...
