I have the 16 key touch dual.
So on input options, you have the touch keypad, when I select that sometimes this comes out (please see attached)
I like it thought better than the 20 key touch keyboard.
Yeh... Where?
I second this, it works really well but there is no option to bring it up on the dual... it just randomly appears sometimes when you need to input text.
Thirded.
And whats more, why does text input seem to vary on web pages?
I've got some where it defaults to numeric input when it should be alpha numeric (ie. passwords), others where XT9 seems to be off (the subject on mails in facebook).
Its so stupidly all over the place and inconsistent! If I could just get this one to pop up all the time I'd be happy.
Doesn't that keyboard show when there's no text entry field?
And yes, i want it too, why would they disable it for normal usage?
Yeh I have found the keyboard to be all over the place when it comes to deciding if it will give you tx9, abc, 123, etc.... Anyone know a way to set one of the two alphanumerics as a default at least?
ok ive had this appear a few times now but couldnt figure out why, as you have been asking for it i have been playing around and think i know what is causing it. you may not need everything listed below but these are the settings on my device if you play around with them you should be able to narrow it down.
I'm running Toms rom, found here
i have disabled threaded sms by using the second setting here
i have enabled the favourite people button on the htc home screen by deleteing the key here
the only other app i have that may have changed a setting is the HTC home customiser.
After making these changes tick the enable xt9 setting in romsettings app, exit the app, then go back into it and untick the enable t9 setting, after closing romsettings you should have the keyboard shown in the second screen shot
as far as i can see this changes the keyboard in all applications
Thats great! Still albeit of a noob so you lost me somewhere there, is there a way to this on the stock ROM?
short answer is i dont know. try looking for an applcation called rom settings after installing it there is a t9 setting. untick it and closethe application if this makes no dfference you may want to try altering the other settings and then trying again until it works.

Ok will try that thanks. On the side, when you untick "T9" does this make "abc" default text entry as well?
I have confirmed that this keyboard layout come out when no text entry is needed.

thats the default action anyway, with the changes detailed the keyboard is available when entering text, if you look at the second image you will see that the cursor is actually in the message box, its the black line at the end of the word hello

Eh? Maybe I overdosed on the thick pills last night, but that doesn't make any sense? If I click on a password field in IE, sometimes the main phone keypad always seems to default to numeric entry. But clicking in the field itself pops up this lovely keyboard.
It really does make no sense at all. There doesn't appear to be any standard/global keyboard settings.
And this is in v6 of WinMo, you would have thought they would have got the basics right by now, but the darned sent items has the useless option of "order by from" - when all the sent items are sent from the same person.
Its got plenty of potential, but it just seems like lots of separate teams were implementing it, doing their own thing without any centralised discussion/design.
Has anyone managed to get this to work with the standard T-Mobile [UK] ROM ?
any updates on this as well? it would be nice to just get an option for this
I got it to work, rather by chance, but thing is after that, I could switch to back to the touchpad type anymore.
I installed POCKETCM KEYBOARD. After doing that, somehow it locked this keyboard in when I choose touchpad.
Its rather a workaround, but for those who to use it premanently, you can do it
it also shows up at times when you are entering a password
Ouch ! I read to quickly and did'nt see the word "permanently" !
It does the same for me after installing pocketpc keyboard and even after uninstalling it !!!
Did you find a way to get the classic keyboard back ? This one is nice but there are some important keys missing as "." and a key to hide the keyboard !
Thanks
EDIT : The installation of Resco Keyboard got all the original settings back + Resco Keyboard of course.
So if you need to use the famous "hidden HTC keyboard", simply install Resco Keyboard and then Pocketpc keyboard.
You will then have your classic "touch" keyboards replaced by the "hidden keyboard" (+Resco Keyboard installed of course).
But to my mind, Resco keyboard alone is better...
any way to do in topaz?
Maybe you could try SmileySMS, but it's for VGA. But it's possible to run on WVGA if I recall correct. The program is still very basic and lacks support. But it worked for me on my old Diamond 1 with threaded SMS disabled
I typically hit the number input button in the bottom right of the landscape keyboard... Faster access to smiley characters ( colon, parenthesis, hyphen etc)
It appears that smiley buttons are only enabled in text boxes on web pages, so may be an a feature activated by using Opera / IE only.
By default you can't have graphics to show up when using smilies in messaging for example. HTC keyboard does have the : ) Shortcut on the keyboard.
In this case I would recommend FingerKeyboard. This has the fastest smiley input around

Yes it does, you have to pull up the 12# tab and then click the 2/2 button, some predefined smileys there but all text and no actual smiley faces. Also only a few...
That was extactly what I was saying. It just don't do graphics!
Too bad there aren't any graphical smileys supported. Really basic, but still missing.

SMS doesn't support graphics, so what's the point anyway... the presentation of smileys is all up the receiver's handset.
Correct, but even if the receiver doesn't have and smiley support, you can have it when receive SMS, and it's so cool to see smiley in SMSs.
I miss Animated SMS from my Nokia N95
when i type a message in htc messaging the keyboard seems very slow at picking up spacebar presses, and misses them out, so it adds the next word to the end, then adds a space at the end. very annoying.
usiong wm 23542. manila 2.5.2012
rom is fine, for me apart from the space bar, so would rather avoid flashign a new one.
is there a reg tweak or something i can do to enable the phone to register quicker presses? the keyboard works fine on webpages / email ect.
possibly to do with the words it displays as your typing, (is it spell correction, or word correction?) is there a way to remove these from displaying to see if that allows for the messages to write correctly.
I have a issue pretty much the same, spacebar shows its pressed but doesn't always make a space in a message...
anyone else noticed this, or know of a fix?
Anyone have this issue?
In Opera if you select a textbox the IME pops up. If you select a textarea like a forum box, it doesn't. ie there's no way to select/type/paste/cut anything in a textarea

Try Opera 10. It's not HD2 specific, so you lose pinch-to-zoom, but it's a faster and better looking browser, and the zoom in with a touch is gorgeous! It's great for entering stuff on web pages, whether it be a small textbox, a dropdown list or a big textbox like the ones on forums.
Perhaps a silly Q, but is there any way for Opera 10 to import bookmarks etc from the HD2 one?
I can't find it anywhere.
Hello!
I have searched this and found little about it, so I'm gonna ask you about it.
I have LeeDroid HD running Android 2.3.3. I have 2 main issues regarding the sms app: the red dotted line that appears when using words not recognized by the phone (I write my messages in Romanian), and the fact that, when I tap a word in the message (say I typed a wrong character in the middle of it), instead of moving the cursor at that position and allowing me to edit freely, it moves it there, selects the entire word, and presents me options from an English dictionary to choose from as alternatives for the word. When I try to move the cursor back and forth, it navigates the suggestions, and the only way of getting out of them is to tap a white space, then navigating to the needed position with the arrow keys. All the options under Language and keyboard > Touch Input are unchecked (Spell correction, Prediction and Word completion). Am I doing anything wrong? Is it a way to bring back the behaviour of good old 2.2 sms app, or do I need to switch to a custom, less time consuming sms app?
Thank you!
