damn i'll try on hermes too ....and on my artemis ....
but in my ce emulator it also didn't work fully correct....
sometimes i just get black buttons....
It works on my Trinity (WM6) but not the symbol page. But I'm ok with it. Like the 'intelligence' of this over T9, but the scroll left and right (on screen) button is a bit too 'small' and near the edge for ease of scrolling. If that can be fixed, it will be even more perfect.
no good for elf
when i set in french language they a are no letters on keypad
thank you
Anyone manage to 'perfect' this beta version?
While it is useable, without the symbol can pose some inconvenience when you need the symbols.
It works fine on my touch. To get the symbols in blue you press and hold the key. It takes a little getting used to so you don't end up with .. but it does work.
For those getting blank screens, this should only happen when you bring up the keypad without selecting a text field. Meaning if you are in a selected text box the keys should display.
Another bug I found was if you install this keypad and then choose another one that you have installed (pocketCM, HTK, etc), it will not display any text. It's like you are typing in white. The cursor advances, but no text displays. I had to un-install this keypad to get my other input methods to work.
It may sound a little obsesive, but I timed myself using this new touch dual keypad and my pocketCM skin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1597831&postcount=21) and every time I was able to type faster and more accurate with the pocketCM version. It was close (1:11 vs 1:08) for a couple sentances. I'm glad to see HTC putting a real finger operational keyboard on the Touch, but for now I will stick with pocketCM.
works on the mogul, install, soft reset...

Nah man, that's a great idea. I think a "type-off" of sorts is a good way to determine what's best; although everyone has difference preferences, I think 90% of us subconsciously type the same.
any status on a new version that works a little better?
thx.

working on Hermes!
Its working fine on my Hermes WM6. Still get the blank buttons when trying to use it outside an application. But within application (e.g. Onecontact, IE ect..) all working fine. Even symbol key is working fine.
Its a great keyboard (esp. the T9 version)...First keyboard where the buttons are large and responsive (iv used sooo many now!).
btw...dont forget to softreset after installation before use!
No symbols
I get all the characters and numbers but the symbols are all blank. I am in the UK. Otherwise it's okay. I personally don't like PocketCM because unless there is lots of free memory it just pops up the default keyboard for me.
is there any way to turn the xt9 off i used the keypad for 5 mins adn when i switched to the normal keyboard the xt9 was still there.. can it be turned off?
^^yeah I found that incredibly annoying, I LOVE this keyboard but I had to uninstall it because the T9 would be there even when using the hardware keyboard!
Can anyone post any pics of this keyboard?
Yeah...T9 still there on hardware keyboard is really annoying!
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.
Hi,
does anyone know an alternative onscreen keyboard application (apart from TF3D).
To me it seems the X1 onscreen keyboard is pretty much unusable without the stylus.
Thx in advance,
Sinergy
I use the SPB keyboard, i prefer it to the blackstone keyboard purely on the basis that the blackstone doesn't mess up with the predictive text of my X1.
the SPB has feedback options with vibration/sound, supports many languages and the skin fits nicely with the menus etc
my 2 cents: (copied from the my post at the inxperia forums)
THE FREE:
-------------------------
HTC Keyboard (from Touch HD)
the free HTC keyboard package also installs a normal phone keyboard.
So it installs:
- QWERTY Compact (two letters per button, for normal use)
- QWERTY Full (like hardware keyboard, for landscape use)
- Phone Keypad (phone keyboard, landscape and normal)
The Compact and Full version switch as you go from landscape to vertical, but you can't use the compact in ladscape and vice versa. So Compact -> rotate screen -> automatically oges to Full QWERTY.
Quite nice actually.
Problems: A bit sluggish within Opera and breaks the volume-zoom keys in Opera.
TouchPal (below) is better:
THE BEST:
-------------------------
TouchPal:
Installs itself as default on startup (great). Everythings fluid, no bugs so far. Goes away nicely in Opera and after a landscape switch.
I noticed a small, but *very* important detail about TouchPal:
The leftmost (QAZ) and rightmost (PLM) buttons are a bit further away from the edge (so they are easier to hit with the recessed screen!). I tested both Touch HD Blackstone and TouchPal QWERTY. TouchPal has the better buttons, as they are easier to hit.
The TouchPal also has tabs with:
- 3 keyboards (phone, qwerty, qw-er-ty)
- 1 symbol board (which slides to the left and right, customizable)
- 1 number board
- 10 configurable text snippets, multilanguage fT9 input and
- a navigation/cut/copy/paste board, which is really handy.
So my vote is clearly for TouchPal (also looks better). No problems on X1 at all!!!
Problems: No landscape resizing, just black bars on the left and right (I think its okay). The 2on1 buttons (QW-ER-TY) are strange (you can't double tap, it works differently)
tldr;
Get the TouchPal software. It'll change your life!
THE TWEAKERS Keyboard:
-------------------------
Fingertouch PRO
Completely skinnable and you can make custom layouts (dvorak for example)... Very good, I bought it but now use TouchPal.

I'm using SPB too. Much better than stock.
thx
I'll give a try to both of them.
Hi Guys,
I have installed touchpal V3.5. I noticed a little bug. Before installation, i do not have memory leakage problem, for example, the program memory does not increase much. Typically, the memory usage will be 65Mb.
After installation, the program memory keep on increasing and increasing even after closing all the programs in the quick menu. The memory usage is 75Mb now and still increasing. The last time i did a soft-reset was 2 days ago.
I did not face this kind of problem (memory leak) before installing touchpal. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
TIA
I tried few alternative keyboards, but still didn't find the right one:
- HTC is very good, but has bugs
- SPB is full querty but small buttons, A Q P are on the edges
- Didn't like touchpal
what i want is an HTC like phone pad/T9 style, any free keyboard like this?

Yes, I like those keyboard which is like phone pad style with T9 too so I have to stick to the HTC phone pad for now.
If anyone knows of such phone pad style which can replace the HTC keyboard, do share with us, thanks.

Try disabling the animations: Options-> (slide the screen) -> "Disable advanced animations". Maybe it helps.
Honestly I don't know. I had to turn my X1 off every 2 days because of exams I had. But the TouchPal keyboard has so many benefits that I won't mind soft-resetting every once in a while. I mean it's the only QWERTY where I can actually touch the Q/P/A buttons with the recessed screen.

Take a look at FingerTouch, they also have a lite (free) version on their site. The video (I time-marked it) with the Phone keyboard is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqhBMNr7iS8#t=47s
check out http://shapewriter.com - it's quite good if ur using two hands to type, works fairly well with one hand. Here's a vid of it in action on the Android => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJPS2piSSRE
TenGO Thumb pretty good too for one-hand operation, but falls flat on it's face when trying to type in one or two numbers vs HTC Phone Pad.
Cliquick (http://www.cliquick.com) has nice large buttons, layout like HTC Phone Pad but larger, excellent querty landscape keyboard and "optimised" key layout, BUT lacks T9.... which is a pitty because this would've been the best with T9 for one-hand operation.
I tried TouchPal but found learning curve too steep. Plus it's too difficult to use with one hand, which I need to do so when standing in a bus.
EDIT: Have been thinking about FingerTouch, BUT needs two hands to type fast, so that's a bummer. I'd prefer ShapeWriter over it.
I don't know if it's just me, but the Touch HD isn't working fine. Everytime i start typing (fast), the first letter always come at the end of the word. Let say I want to type "Clumsy", it would come out as "lumsyC". Quite annoying IMO.
Fingertouch has 5 keyboard layouts provided. At least 2 of them allow one-handed typing and pretty fast. It has its own T9 and also word completion.
I'm using Fingertouch Pro and allow further customisation, but unlike Fingertouch (which is free), the Pro version is paid software.

ameS ereh, I ustj an'tc eems ot ritew ightr.
Crzy! <--- my Touch HD keyboard "forgets" characters too..
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?
I have a persistent reoccurring problem with the software keyboards.
After a soft reboot, everything works fine for the first two or three days. From then on, the SIP icon will not present a keyboard. This is true regardless of which default keyboard has been used. This suggests the fault is not with any particular keyboard.
I use the following keyboards:
- HTC Full keyboard.
- Swype.
- TouchPal.
- Resco Keyboard.
When this problem occurs, all other functions of the phone continue to work perfectly (albeit I can't input any data). Thus, my only recourse is to perform a soft reboot - which solves the problem for a few days.
I have a Telstra HD2 with native ROM. I use the native Sense UI. I have a moderate amount of popular third party apps installed.
Question:
1) Does anyone else have this problem?
2) Is there any permanent remedy for this problem?
3) If not, is there another temporary fix other than soft reboot (ie: changing a setting in the Registery - but without needing use of the keyboard. This could be running a *.REG file to restore some value).
4) What could possibly be causing the SIP to be non-functional?
... any help or direction would be appreciated.
I believe I found the fault.
Resco Keyboard Pro, version 5, with Fitaly Skin. The skin was downloaded from Resco's website. It "seems" to be fine, but was found the cause an eventual disfunctioning of the SIP after a few days on two different smart phones: HTC TPro2 and HTC HD2. I suspect there is a memory leak on some type of registers (stack). Only after continual use of that keyboard does the SIP eventually fail to show the keyboard anymore. This does not happen with my other keyboards.
Remedy: don't use Resco Keyboard with at least the Fitaly skin.
Case closed.

What is the "SIP Icon" that you refer to in your original post? In the European Version of HD2 the SIP function is disabled and we need to intall external programmes for SIP/VOIP. Is your SIP original function (which is an integral part of WM) enabled?

SIP/VOIP is different is for phone calls.
SIP/Keyboard is "software input program"; SIP is the little keyboard icon that allows you to open the keyboard, or select a different keyboard.
