sms from keyboard

Hi , I would like to know if anybody figured out when sending an email or SMS how to go from "To:" to the actual message you will type without touching the screen ?
The Tab key didn't work for me .

Doesn't the down arrow do it? Works for me.
V

Both Tab and the Down arrow work for me. Just tried.
Press Message button to go to Pocket Outlook.
Tap LHS soft key to select New
Type first few letters of contact's name.
When number is suggested, press down arrow to select number.
Press Enter to fill in the number.
Press Tab to move to message area.
Type message

nope it doesn't on my xda exec, if I press the down arrow, the scroll bar will go down but the cursor is still on the "to:"

I dont' have a scrollbar anywhere on the New Message screen. I'm running in VGA landscape mode though. Maybe that's the difference.
Doesn't Tab work?

nope the tab + down key didn't work, it will go down on the scroll bar but the cursor will still be on on the "to:"
You said you were on VGA landscape mode, is it with ozvga ? or did you have asetting on the phone itself ?

Yeah - it's OzVGA.
Man, it would be really annoying if I had to use the stylus to create SMS. This is the biggest benefit for me: Doing (almost) everything in the system using only the keyboard. I hope you find a solution soon.

yeah, I just have to use my dirty fingers to put the cursor in the right place :?
One quick question, I have some app like wisbar/ netfront 3.3 in VGA already, if I install ozvga will it miss it up or they will still look the same ?
Or maybe there is only one way to find out.... :wink:

If you're using WA2 with OzVGA, you'll have to switch to a QVGA version of your Wisbar theme, otherwise it'll all go very weird. Not too much of a problem though, it just takes up a bit more space in your Themes folder having two versions of the same theme, and you need to switch them manually in WA2 when you switch resolutions.
This is because the system uses 96dpi (QVGA) icons, toolbars, fonts, etc, etc when running OzVGA.

thanks, I'll have a go.
still playing with it, just wait on an update so the phone can have a decent response time, miss my xdaIIs for that but, it is another subject 8)
Still love it BTW!

jeux_1, i have the same exact issue. It was driving my pretty crazy, but it helps to know someone else has this issue. Have you found a fix?

For the last three weeks, I was using the keyboard to write SMS, and my TAB key was moving the cursor from 'To' to the body of the message...
And now, suddenly, it does only a scroll down, like the down arrow, but stay in the 'To' field... :?
Any idea :?: it's really annoying....

Does anybody have an idea about that :?:

I think it is a bug for the O2 EXEC, my friend have an Orange one and work works fine.
I don't think there is a solution and it is a bug on the O2 one. Any of you guys can confirm ?
There is as well a new guy with a new Rom I will ask him if he has the same issue.

Actually, I use a Qtek 9000, different ROM
And it was working for at least three weeks... and now, it does'nt work anymore... smth changed, but I cannot find out what

here goes my theory..... :?

Ok, I found the solution.... my TAB key works again..
The problem came from Tweaks2k2 .NET, version 3.15... as soon as I apply changes with it, the TAB behavior changes... :evil:

Help! Slow input type selection window!

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

Text issue once upgraded to 1.66

Hi all,
I have upgraded my HD2 to 1.66 - the WWE version from the HTC website. Now when typing a text message, about half the time the machine starts to go slowly and the bottom text that I'm replying too turns a black colour and I can't see the text that I'm trying to type into the reply, but the XT9 text suggestions still pop up.
It's really weird and I was wondering if any of you guys had come across this, as I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else on the forums.
Thanks!

It's a known sms issue since the last sms update. Nothing can be done for now. You can either disable HTC messaging or wait for next HTC update? (if they even recognise this as a 'bug')

Adding words in xt9

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!

[PROBLEM]Energy Maxsense 21907 for leo 1024

Ok so owned my HD2 for 3 months now and just made the transformation to energy rom maxsense 21907 on my 1024 us leo.
I loaded up my phone and heres my problem.
There is a text message already in there and if I go in and swipe it to the left I don't have anymore today screen. I can hit windows button on my phone to bring up my stuff but nothing on the screen works after that until I hit the windows button.
Any advice?
Seems like an issue with sense I disabled it and Things are good
***EDIT***
Ok so I just got home from work and I saw in the energy thread that someone else is getting it.
It's a text message preinstalled into the phone from William Archbell it is an mms and if you try to click it from the alert window it'll bring it up and if you swipe to the left or click on it it freezes. If you restart sense things work fine but still can't get into it the message.

no one has a resolution for this?

Same here....

If you search the original thread for this ROM you will find a fix.

The thing is. I did search and the fix that I found didn't work. Unless I grabbed the wrong fix. Could you guide me to the right cab or fix as an attachement to make sure I got the right fix. I did the mms fix but I don't know I can't seem to find any other fixes.
I tried both the energy rom threads from in tmobile usa and in the regular hd2 rom dev.

same here , i have that problem when i open the outlook and then no more home screen.
