Can't select other input methods anymore...

Hi there,
THis is a strange one:
On a fresh hard resetted K-jam, I'm not able anymore to select other input methods than the standard installed ones. I tried with Fitaly, MessagEase and TextPlus but the show up in the list but when I select them, I get the standard keyboard!
The strange thing is that when I bought my K-Jam, Fitaly would work. Then I noticed that Fitaly wasn't completely compatible with 2005 so I uninstalled. Of course ( :wink: ) this wasn't done properly by the OS so I manually removed some keys in the register so Fitaly wouldn't show up anymore in the input method list. From that moment on I couldn't select any other alternative input methods anymore.
I thought a fresh hard reset would solve it but I guess not...
Why not? :?:

Same problem here. Have a 9100 and no special input software installed. I want to use the phonepad input, but when I configure it in the setting menu it switches back to the basic keyboard. Anyone have a solution for this problem?

There's a standard registry hack to do this. search for sip and registry or check the usual places.
Otherwise, use tweaks 2k.
Otherwise, use my sipswitch program as a last resort.

Hi Vijay555,
I checked your website. Nice tools there! :lol:
But were can I find the sipswitch and why use it as a last resort? :wink:
Wouter

on this board. search for sipswitch.
it needs updating before it goes on my site, but it works, i hope!.

Hi Vijay555,
The download link to the sipswitch file is not working anymore. Do you have a copy of the file somewhere?
Wouter

wouterk: try it again, I've updated the post on that thread, but here you go anyway!
Links to the app.

Hi Vijay555,
The download is working but the program doesn't do the trick I wanted (change to the input of my choice)
Too bad but thanks for the program!
Wouter

does it work at all, eg switch to keyboard with the keyboard command line parameter etc?
I've never tested it on WM5 but it should work...

Hi Vijay555,
It does work on a commandline for:
Flexslide and Speedscript but I'm able to switch between those two most of the time even without your tool. :wink: It does work somehow because just now I couldn't get Flexslide activated and with your tool from the command line it worked!
It doesn't work somehow with MessagEase. I can't switch to MessagEase at all no mather what I try. So there must be something different in MassagEasse compared with the other two... :?:

It sometimes depends exactly how the SIP is named. I've not tried it on many odd SIPs, but if you read the SIPSwitch thread I know some peeps had some experiences and advice on oddly named sips. Tell me how it goes.

ftSwitchSIP , Change SIP by one key

On my dopod 900, I use keyboard SIP and PlumSIP, I wanna switch between then quickly.
But Fn+SYM or PQZ doesn't work properly,I try vijay555's SIPSwitch,but it's hard to use.
So I wrote one to switch between different SIP.
First map it to one hardward key,
Then press the key, it change the SIP to next SIP in the system SIP list and show the input panel.
BTW , if u want switch between some peculiar input method, u can use POCKET TWEAK to hide others.
Sorry for my poor english.

thanks a lot !!!
it's what I, not only me but all the chinese, need.
thanks million times.
I also want to know the exact way of hiding some input method, as I have been searching for the POCKET TWEAK you mentioned, but don't get any outcoming.

u can got it from here
http://tillanosoft.com/ce/ptweak.html

You're really unbelievable! FTSwitchSIP comes out just one day after you posted to try to find some tool to switch SIP. Many Chinese users of Dopod 838 and 900, known as Wizard and Universel here, have been searching for such a tool for a long time. I am just one of them who is lucky to find it out first.
I've shared your amazing tool in the pdafans forum, I hope you won't mind.
http://bbs.pdafans.com/viewthread.php?tid=203195
Thanks a lot.

Got PocketTweak.
there seems no direct way of hinding input method.
Would you show me some hints?

I think it has a bug here. I have been using the rom of Traditional Chinese. Got several input methods. And hide some of them with Pocket teak. And install CE and PlumSIP. Now I have 3 input methods. 1. Zhuying ( as default) 2. Mengtian Hand Writing 3. PlumSIP. At the beginning, the switch seems ok. I am very glad and thankful. But when I swicth several times, it stuck and both plumSIP and Mengtian displayed. The PPC is hanged. Only reset can make it work.

Thanks your reply.
I'll update it on this weekend.
I wanna add some setting and test it again.

thanks a lot.
I've been searching for such software a lot.

the tool works fine.. maybe u can try to hide sme OEM sips u dont use and try awain.. may be a memory issue

How do I go about that then - just delete the registry reference to them?
Also can anyone give me a tip on how to locate specific bits of the registry - it took me ages to find the registry entry to pcm keyboard (i'm using regedit).

works perfectly with ipaq hx2495 (WM5)! thanks for posting this cool app!

OMG! Thank you for this. Actualy, I figured out that it's a last thing that I need to be happy with my Artemis. To be able to change small stylus-friendly SIP which I'm used to use in my office to somethig finger-friendly when I'm on the streed by HW button.
Thanks!
What about new version with ability to setup two SIP to cycle just between them? - but as I said, I'm completely hapy as it is.

register problem

Hello everybody, I found a big problem here when I am going to register some softwares. Everytime I input the button 'Q' on device keyboard, it showed 'O' instead of 'Q'. So that, I could not register the softwares. Although I used different kinds of keyboard software to input, it showed 'O'. However, it just occured on registration only. Word and Excel or others are normal. Any idea is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi ione!
If the q buton works in word - type it, select it, press control+c, then in the registration window press control+v. This will copy and paste the "Q" character.

Thanks for your idea.
I had done it before, it got no change. Anyway, thankyou for your kindly reply.

You ought to contact the person who write the software.
It sounds illogical. First of all, the Q and O aren't really related in terms of keyboard layout or any regional settings and stuff. It is VERY (almost impossible) the OS will make any mistake in banging Q with O. Further, if you have tried the copy-paste method, it further make sense that the software you are tryign to register is faulty. The copy-paste method will do exactly what is said, changing nothing throughout the process. If there is anything that can go wrong, I would bet it is the program you are trying to register.
Anyway, my best guess is that the software (you trying to register) is displaying the Q at a different way that it looks like an O, but in fact, that is really a Q. The problem is that, the registration code may be faulty (on other ways NOT because the Q looks like O).

Thanks hanmin.
The problem is ocurred in the similar registration page. I had two softwares with the same page. Which is not ocurred to the other. Any idea, thanks?

As I said, software problem? the software which cause the prom is causing the problem. check with the author, maybe get another reg code what doesn't need a Q

Thanks hanmin again.
I had successfully installed the softwares before and the button 'Q' was no problem. After I had refreshed the rom again (since I had to completely uninstalled some softwares), the problem occurred. That's why it drived me crasy.

Program to turn on Flash (LED light_

I would like to be able to program one of the buttons to turn on the flash, it takes too long to sometimes open the cammera so I would like to get the flash to go on.. (and on the brighter light also).. any ideas, links?
thanks
e..b

Nope - no solution as of yet. Your best bet is to go to the following thread, and choose "Watch this topic" at the bottom.. then just follow any updates to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41642&highlight=flashlight - VJCandela - torch/flashlight on HTC Phones
Just to make this clear - at the time of this writing, vijay's utility does not work on the HTC Wizard. If anybody has an HTC Wizard to spare to send to him, he can probably make it work

any news on this one ?
or has anyone an idea where to look in the registry for it ?
i really like to have a litte prog or shortcut key for the flashlight to
function as a flashlight

vj has one

if you would read then u should have noticed this little part of text which says: vijay's utility does not work on the HTC Wizard.
offcourse i tried it and many others and even tried to alter the program
but since no-one knows what keys involved i thought i might bring this to
attention... hopefully someone will try and find this out as i think many
people would like to have this feature.

Problem with WiFi

If I press wlan button in Comm Manager than WiFi should be ON but it is not. I did use some different roms but still nothing. Somebody know what to do ?
settings-connections-wireless lan - there is only message:
Wireless LAN is OFF.Turn on Wireless LAN.
It does not work. Please help me.

Go back to wm5. If your lucky it might come back. The more I dig through here the more I see people with wifi problems after flashing. You might be out of luck
HOWEVER
I noticed under WM6 the bubble that pops up when you click on the wifi tower ALWAYS says 'turn on wifi'
Good luck!

Same problem with my WI-FI, Not working please help!!!!
Hi All. I am facing the same problem with my WI-FI as Vomithaus is having. Whenever I try to to connect to WIFI from Commmanager, it tries to and then to show disconnected. When i go to settings> Wireless LAN, it asks me to "Configure Network Adaptors", and lists all the adaptors and going into them asks about the ip settings and stuff like that. By the Way I Bricked my phone once and then i flashed with T-Mobile Ship WM6.0 RUU for the WING. And I strongly suspect that the registry setting are not right or the Radio ROM is F***ed up. Can any knowledgeable person help me please? I would greatly appreciated any help.

Same problem with my WI-FI, Not working please help!!!!
This is the addeneum to the last post. The last remaining screenshot for the above post. The last screen shot of the "Wi-Fi Status" in the "Settings > Connection", gives me an option to "Turn on Wi-Fi" but toggeling it results in nothing. Thank You everybody for your time and consideration.

It might help us to figure out how this happened too. I bought the EXEC off of ebay and it was like this from the get go. The previous owner flashed it to wm6 about 1 month ago, but said it was working fine... all he did was hard reset to get rid of the personal information. I want to believe him, but there are a few people on here complaining of flashing the exec and losing wifi. (even the official rom from O2).
Flashing COULD have damaged the transmitter, but it seems more likely that a setting is wrong somewhere (especially since there is a slider bar for WIFI battery vs performance).
This is good news (somewhat), but the bad news is that if there is one, no one knows about it. I have messed around in the registry (there were some promising entries related to POWER), but nothing that even showed a response. I found the entry that connects to the slider bar, but PERFORMANCE = zero, so there is nowhere to go there but WORSE.
This really sucks, is all I can say. I blew $500 on something that is useless (well... not useless, but no WIFI? WHY COULD IT HAVE NOT BEEN BLUETOOTH!)
Another step I have taken is contacting PPC Tech's via email and asking them if they have any idea how to repair it, and how much $$$
I'll keep you informed.
Can you tell me if yours EVER worked, and if so, when it stopped?

I just looked closer at your screenshots.... Do you have a WIFI card? (it say's 'adapter').

No, I dont have a WIFI card but this is way how windows handles all is peripherals (services), as an add-on card. just like you laptop.

Guys, There is a registry fix for this problem.
Please take look here :

I am afraid Ron that this is not a case as suggested in Beowulf6's solution. If it is the solution I dont know how to exactly implement it. But I am posting here the exact registry key screenshot for you guys to take a look also. I can't see and TNETWLN1 or TNET12345 key here in my device. I still think it has to something with the registry. Can any one here with a T-Mobile WING verify and post their screen shot? or maybe send me a registry backup to compare with? It would be really grateful it some does that. Thanks everybody for a few seconds to read this.

In my herald i can't see TNETWLN1 or TNETWLN12345 too.
I did use Mobile Registry Editor for that , what you guys are useing?
(sorry for my English, if you dont understand me just tell me please)

Look at the screenshots, there a Reg Folder with the name WLAN, open it, and then open the key with all the numbers and letters. At the end of that line is a code. TNETWLAN1 is what it should be for the Herald.

It is like Bio88 says.
You are already on the right track... click on WLAN and you will find the key.
Change the value of the key into TNETWLAN1
Done

Hi Please look at my screen shot again clearly. I did post what is inside the WLAN folder. There are only two keys :
1) (Default) \Windows\ctlpnl.exe
2) CmdLine cplmain17
I still can't figure where is the key with numbers and letters. Sorry If I am a bit dumb or wrong. Thanks.

it is possible if you use the default Commanager that you dont have this registry key.
I dont know if it helps if you create it on your own.
but for me where i installed a different commanager, the Key was there and i edited it for the wlan button.

My Tmo Wing has "TIACXWLN1" in that registry key.
Do those changes apply to the herald and the Wing interchangeably?
