When you need to input text, you can click on the icon at the bottom of the screen to bring up the text entry area. You can tap on the little triangle beside the icon to bring up a window to select between block recognizer, keyboard, letter recognizer, phone pad, and transcriber.
On my 8125, it is taking a long time for this window to pop up after tapping the triangle. It is taking a few seconds, when it used to take maybe 1/3 of a second. It is quite frustrating!
Why is is doing this? And what can I do to speed it up like it used to be?
This has happened before. It was when I first got the phone and was installing apps and games on it. One day I noticed this slow behavior, and I ended up doing a hard reset and slowly adding my apps and registry tweaks back on one at a time to see what would cause the problem. Well, nothing caused the problem and it stayed fast for a long time.
Then yesterday I updated to Summiter's latest ROM and started adding my apps back on. This text entry type window was working just fine through most of it, and suddenly as I'm finally finished putting everything back to where I want it, this problem is back!
Help! I don't want to do another hard reset already!
I have the same problem, I use transcriber as SIP but since it takes so long to show up when you click the triangle, I just put a shortcut to transcriber.exe in the start menu folder. So, I just use the Programs menu, it's much faster
I like to switch between letter recognizer, keyboard, and transcriber. I suppose I could put links to them in the start menu, but it would be so much nicer if I could just figure out why it's being so slow!
Any ideas?
I've read this is due to having MS Voice Command installed, although I haven't confirmed this myself.
I have the problem and never installed Voice Command, so there must be another explanation
anyone idea what the keyboard exe is called?
thanks
This is supposedly caused by a bug in the OS. I use an application called 'Smartskey'. There is a setting that talks about reboot notification for a Wizard. This affects the time it takes for the input method choice popup-. See the text about it from the manual:
REMOVEDUPSDDAEMON=0 (0 or 1)
Only for HTC Wizard. The function is originally not related to SmartSkey. The HTC Wizard contains a program called sddaemon that is the voice command program for wizard. It contains a bug that it will automatically create one more
notification for each reboot. It will make the program slower and slower after a number of reboot and overflow the notification system. To set this to 1 will automatically remove the duplicated notification event. If you are a user of Wizard, it is suggested to set it to 1. The flag is harmless for other machines.
I cannot remember where I downloaded the program, but if you search this forum, you should be able to find a copy.
i dont use smartskey, so is it something else causing my slowdown? i dont understand.
is that a reg key your talking about there?

Smartskey isn't the problem. It solves a problem with the OS. zIt appears that every time the device restarts, it makes a record in a log file somewhere. Eventually, the log is so full, it takes longer and longer to pull up the menu. I don't recall all of the details, but I found it here. You can probably search to find more information.
The setting I put in the post is a smartskey.ini setting to resolve the problem.
thanks, might give it a try then

I am having a little problem with my text messages. Whenever I get a new message or try to compose one; the screen goes to the bottom and doesn't show the message. I have to slide or scroll up everything when I try to send or read a new message. I am on VP3G's latest rom(check sig for more details), and I don't think this happened before, but I cannot fully remember when it started to happen. Is this a known problem, or better yet, is there something I can do to fix it? Its not that big of a deal, just more of an annoying bug...Are there any registry settings I can do or try another program to fix it?
Since no ones seems to have any answers, what about a Registry tweak? Does anyone know of a setting I could edit or add to make it open messages from the top?
Unsure about the registry tweak, but for a temporary solution, you could just keep your SMS inbox clean so that all messages display on one page, allowing you to see the new one at the top, even though you're at the bottom.
Have you tried staying at the top, then resetting your phone at that moment? Does this happen in Outlook?
Try This
Q: Every time I open a message it goes to the middle/bottom of the message.
A: Install KaiserTweak, and disable D-Pad Scroll Navigation or use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tools and disable 4-way navigation.

The problem isn't the messages in the inbox, its that when I open the message, it goes to the bottom of the message right away, so I can see the actual message, or maybe just the very last line. The same goes for when I try and create a new text message, It goes right to the bottom, and I have to scroll up to see what I am typing.

I have advanced Config from Schaps installed, but 4-way navigation was already disabled...I haven't tried KaiserTweak, will that work for my Hermes, or should I say will it work correctly? If so, then I will try that next...
Thanks for the replies...
You guys are so locked on
I had the problem with the messages going to the bottom. I did the Kaiser Tweak and there are no more problems.
This message board is so locked on to solving issues.
Thanks for all your help.
Hey guys, is there ever any other reason for this to happen? I've tried disabling it in the advanced config and kaisertweak but neither help :/
The only fix I have ever known for that problem, was to disable
the stylus 4 way navigation.

To be clear - you are saying that a fix for this issue (that I have and it's annoying as hell) is to COMPLETELY disable the ability to use the D-pad for navigation???
I'm not bagging on you, but that is completely and totally unacceptable.
Shall we just disable the touch screen to solve some similarly mundane issue??
It shouldn't have to be like that. And we shouldn't have to live with it either.
But that's life I guess.
Other solutions for getting messages to open at the top?

May in fact be a mute point as I changed this feature using both KaiserTweak and the Advance Config and it did not remedy the problem.
I also have the same problem. D-PAD is already disabled. I also don't know when this problem started.
This registry tweak (basically, that's what the aforementioned tweaking tools do) solves the problem for me:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Have you guys tried taping the "Arrange By" option on the upper right of the Message window. Choose the "Recieved" option. If you noticed, if you tap it one or more times it will arrange the messages from newest to oldest..
On the HTC website we can download an update for the handwriting.
But when I try to install it I get the error that this file is not compatible with my device. This is were the file can be found:
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=822&news_id=435
Anyone who could provide me more information about why it is not working for me?
hope this helps
i got this cab file from ppcgeeks. i installed this...then the transcriber becomes an option when you select which keyboard you want to use. transcriber lets you use the new handwriting feature.
hope this helps
I'm going to check it out

Installation Instructions:
Note: AP version control -> The criterion will pass if the Touch Input for Pocket versions is equal to Version 2.1 (Build 1920.2429), or lower.
To check the AP version : Press HOME then slide to Settings > All Settings > Personal > Input >
Tap the arrow to the right of the keyboard icon then tap About> Touch Input for the Pocket PC Version
Is it possible that this update is for wm6.5 rom?
My TP2 is still running on official wm6.1 rom and Touch Input for the Pocket PC version 2.0 (build no. sequence and how to check version number totally different from described) and I cannot install this update.
It isn't working
But I don't find it very important so I keep it so as it is now
I could it to work for me on stock ROM. Placed exe file on phone memory, ran it and soft reset phone. Did you hit the arrow key next to the soft keyboard? When the menu comes up, select other input methods then transcriber.
I found it actually to be fairly accurate for taking quick notes and stuff even with my horrible handwriting. To some extent it pushes the case for resistive screens a bit. I can't really see me using it more than for quick note taking though because one of the main reasons I bought the TP2 was for the full keyboard, and I can type a lot faster than I write. It's a tad bit redundant...

Installing now
I didn't put the file on my main memory
Oke!
Copy the file to your main memory and install it
Than it works fine
if this htc update only adds transcriber input to our devices then i think i know why i cannot install the patch - my tp2 already has the input method out of the box!

My EU TP2 WM6.1 already has the input method out of the box and I can install this update.
This update contains new reg. value:
HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip
SIPMenuEnableMSSIP = 1
Thx
but in my case, it's still saying "This hotfix is not compatible with your device"
What does this patch do exactly? I type using the keyboard the most so it's no real loss if I can't install it.

so this is just an update to Transcriber??
My TP2 is an Asia model so naturally I have downloaded my patch from the corresponding support site.

I can't select that option on my T-Mobile stock TP2, along with the "move to" option. I read on a wiki somewhere about a problem with the TF3D/WMO interaction and the threaded text messages.

Ive had a hunt for this query through the search but havnt spotted anything so far. The best way to explain is with an example. Im using the compact qwerty keyboard. It also happens in the normal keyboard but not as often (as the words suggested are generally more accurate!)
Il be typing letters for a word, say, 'tiddlywinks' (which at the moment isnt in the dictionary). so i type t, i, d, d which suggests tidd but then i press 'l' which then doesnt suggest 'tiddl' but infact suggests 'tuddl' as the only word.
So, i want to add a word, so i click the down arrow button thing which then lists the only word ('tuddl'), an 'add word' button and an 'x'. So i press add word, but that adds 'tuddl' to the message. I can type tiddlywinks in the ABC format, which appears in the little bar that popped up, but it doesnt add anything to the message.
So at this point, the message im typing has the only word as 'tuddl'. I have to then delete this word and then retype tiddlywinks in the standard way to add it to the message. A bit annoying.
Does anyone know why this happens? ANy way to stop it? Ive tried to explain it exactly as it happens, though its tricky :|
Thanks
Steve
Bump!
No suggestions at all for this? Is it just my device?
i dont have the same problem as you.. but my phone has a hard time remembering words... like " i'll " ...there is no way i can add it to the dictionary... i'll add it and it seems to add it but when you go into another thread and type the word again it doesnt pick it up, it suggests " u'll
"... and god forbid you do a soft reset, most of the words i added are lost, expecially spanish words... blah,
theres still a bug in the messaging app/tools
Here you go:
http://www.bytetips.com/how-to-add-delete-backup-t9-added-words/
This shows you how you can backup your words but more importantly for you, it reveals the built-in application we have which is perfect for creating new words that actually stay! For example, have it shortcut'ed in your start menu and when typing a text and need to add a word that wont add, open the app, add it, go back to your text message and there you go, its there!
Works for me, hope it works for you!
Thanks il give it a go.
Though it seems to suggest, from the comments above, that the words should add to the message as i type in the new word after pressing 'add word'.
The question is, why wont it let me, hmmm!
Hey guys.
Hoping someone can help me out here.
After the NoDo update, quick selecting / browsing contacts is gone. Or rather, it's still there, but all letters but A is grayed out.
I'll try to clarify:
I go into the Phone selection from the Home screen, tap the "People" icon, then tap "A". The alphabet pops up, but everything is grayed out besides "A". The same happens when I enter trough the "People" selection on the home screen.
Is there a way to remedy this, or should I contact WP7 support?
In advance, thanks!
Did ya check yr people's list... Phaps it's empty
Only "greyed out" letters i have are those with no corresponding name
My Peoples list contain some 200 contacts. And no, they don't all have names beginning with an A.
I had the same problem pre-nodo. One day it just wouldn't work any more. All letters were grayed out.
The only thing that helped was a hard-reset, which I think is pretty painless with WP7.
This is a bug, which has already been posted in the Microsoft WP7 help forums, but there was no solution in there besides resetting.
I have/had the same problem on my Omnia 7 in Denmark, stock. The problem persists on NoDo.
Maybe this "temporarely fix" helps on NoDo for you too?
Go to Settings -> Region & language -> System Locale
If I have mine set to Danish, I have the same problem as you, only "a" in the letters list - if I change it to English (US), then the contacts are sorted by their "real letters...
