Anyone else get the problem where when you repy to a text you get numbers instead of letters, is there a fix for this yet?
If that happens I just hide the keyboard and then press the bit where it says 'Press here to type' or something like that. Takes a second to do and always seems to work for me when that happens
Didnt know you could do it that way, I tend to go into quick text or whatever its called then cancel back out and its ok after that.
Damned annoying though and surely something that would of been picked up in pre release testing?
I find that when trying to reply, it instructs you to tap screen to reply, but it takes several seconds and lost of tapping before it starts allowing me to type. Very annoying!
Hi all,
again, i dont like starting new threads, but I havent found anything about this keyboard bug im experiencing
I'm on 1.48.405.2 (71294)
So i'm SMS-ing with XT9 on and word completion:
If im typing away and end something with a QUESTION, like
"What are you doing today?"
I normally click the "12#" to change to symbol to select the question mark "?"
BUT i noticed EVERY SINGLE TIME when there is a WORD COMPLETION SUGGESTION hovering over the word and you CLICK "12#", the cursor will POP UP to the line ABOVE! (if i've gone past 1 line of text)
A word completion suggestion popup must be there before clicking "12#" for the cursor to pop up. But this is pretty basic for anyone typing a question.
this is SO annoying when i'm trynig to type fast and add a "?", cause then the cursor keeps popping up and screwing up my message...
Also another bug i noticed is when I receive a SMS, and in HTC Message i click on the message to go to Windows messaging..
Sometimes when i start to type (and it clearly says its oN XT9), no word completion pops up!
It's very intermittent, but the XT9 will be selected but just not work...
Anyone else experiecne this?
And better yet, does ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION/REGISTRY TWEAK?
That cursor popping up when wanting to type a symbol is super annoying...
I installed the Less sensitivity cab but im not sure if that caused this?
Why don't you just hold down the 'k' key till the question mark pops up?
I'm facing the second problem of yours too. Sometimes the T9 is 'on' but it is not functioning. This is really annoying. I have to close the message go to home screen and come back into the message again to get it working.
I've been getting the Xt9 thing too at random times. Although I never goto the other symbols keyboard to do the '?'.
thanks for the replies guys
least i know im not the only one
yeah..i COULD hold the "k" to get the "?" ...i guess i can do that from now on.
But i find the 2 clicks is faster than holding the K...maybe its just me
Anyways, hopefully HTC is aware of this so they fix this..
The keyboard is used all the time so this is a pretty annoying thing to see
has anyone had the issue of replying to a text and it just comes out as numbers ??? you then have to go into the text option Turn on Turn off an option then press done and then letters will appear ?
My keyboard annoyances are accidentally turning off XT9 modemany times when trying to press the A key. Why did they have to put the XT9/ABC key right under the A key?
Also I get the XT9 turning off bug too from time to time even though it is turned on.

I get this problem sometimes. Its bloody annoying!
I usually go to menu>quick text then press back and usually that sorts it.
Hope they find a permanent fix to stop it happening though!!

I have the same problem sometimes. I uses the Phonepad and sometimes it will only type numbers.
I have talked to HTC (danish) and they will try to look at it.
Sometimes the XT9 doesnt show words at all. Ive got those two problems
Its a joke man i can believe theres so much issue with there sms functions
- im a Texter and this isnt good - please keep me updated as whatever they send you im going to forward to HTC uk!
These faults need to be bombarded over to HTC for a imminent fix !
WHAT HAPPENED TO THERE TESTER ????
I have reported this to HTC support, but didn't hear anything back, in fact I didn't get an auto-responder either so I hope they got my email.
i have same problem .....
when a message comes i reply key pad types ok
but when again message come i reply key pad starts typing digits
problem is with phone pad and compact qwery pad ......
i have mailed HTc via support
but have not got a response yet .?
I also experience that sometimes the XT9 doesnt work even though it is marked as "on". Also, Im not able to add new words to T9.
Any news about the problem. Any solutions???
Every time I sent a text, when I tap on the button 12# to use the signs and numbers, the cursor automatically dislocate to the beginning of the message. This is really annoying and mess up the texting process. Does anyone have the same problem? is there a fix for this?
please help... Many thanks.
Confirmed
A workaround is to make sure there is a 'space' after your text before selecting 12#. Not sure how viable that is for you.
I have noticed the first time you select 12# all is fine.
However after additional texting, reselecting 12# produces your issue!
You can aslo easily click at the end of your text and you will still be in the numeric keyboard. Of course you can also stay in the default text keyboard and hold down the 'q' key to get to number '1', w for 2 etc.

Thanks for the tips. I wish the texting on this phone could be like the iPhone. The iPhone texting is the best so far I've used. Very responsive and smooth. Accurate texting correction too. sigh...
More texting tips
Sure thing.
Also check out the link below for some useful tips on improving texting and adding common used text or email addresses etc to the XT9 My Words, hidden on the phone.

I've noticed if messaging is in the middle of suggesting a word it will go back to the beginning, if not it won't.
do you guys think hard reset will fix the problem? I'm tempted to do it but worry that it could be a waste of effort since after a hard reset i have to set up the phone all over again from scratch.

It will be waste of time. All you got to do it complete the word and if any suggested words are still showing press the correct one. Then press 12#

I also get this problem quite often.
I am wondering if the Rom update that was posted to the HTC HK site (in English) will fix this problem.
The update seems to deal with their sms system, so I am sure we are not alone in this problem.

Hi, the 1.66 ROM doesn't fix it, I put that on at the weekend & still having the same issues. Battery life seems much better though
I didn't have this problem until I applied the sms hotfix from the HTC site. Have noticed it only affects the sms texting, emails and documents are unaffected.
I'm also having problems with the cursor but in a different behavior...my cursor goes ahead of my last text like about 17 spaces ahead, but when i type again, the letters (characters) will still appear after the last text that i typed, but still my cursor is ahead. it only happens when my dialogs in a contact reaches to 10 above and i am already typing at the second onward lines of my text message. it is difficult specialy when i'm deleting, i can't delete accurately. like this:
note: " l " is the cursor
" . " as the no. of spaces
"when are you going home? please
drop by the............ l "
and then
"when are you going home? please
drop by the store...........l "................and so on...
does anybody experienced this?
before my sms client is v1.5 (the stock client?), now v1.8....still the same.
I have the TMOUS HD2 and I am having 2 problems and I want to see if anyone else is either experiencing this or if it's just my phone.
On SENSE SMS messages, the keyboard will auto deploy and I will begin to type or Swype and nothing will show, unless I select or highlight the last message and then refocused on the blank area of my current message and then it will show. It's almost as if the screen doesnt redraw the text as I input it. It's VERY annoying.
When I'm in a call, and pull the phone away from my face, the screen will come on, but I can't press or access any button on the dialpad (Eg, Red Endcall or Keypad button) but I am able to press all of the hardware buttons and go to the home screen of Sense and do everything else on the phone. This is really frustrating, because I call my bank and I can't use the touch tone features to access my account or put a caller on hold and do the other features while on a call.
I would just like to know if these are isolated incidents that I'm just experiencing with my HD2, or is there a solution to theses issues. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys.

I think that's just something you have to deal with, I used to get it on the O2UK stock 1.43 ROM after installing the hotfix (I assume it's cooked into the TMOUS ROM). After installing Windows Mobile 6.5.x I haven't come across the issue.

This is a known bug that we all have. When you start typing, sense is busy loading all your txts from that contact, and when it has finished loading them it auto focuses on the last text. During that time you cannot see what you are typing, though it is still being typed. When you then select the text input area your typing appears.
The fix is to not have many texts saved.

you have either bsbtweaks "increase tap time" tweak turned on, or the increase taptime cab from the hints tips thread.
This tweak stops the incall screen from registering presses. Turn it off.
These are both very common, and there must be a few hundred threads asking the same questions.
The BST thing fixed the call problem I was having. And imma try to clean out the sms message to regain speed. Thankyou VERY much Samsamuel and Kalavere! Luv ya like a play cousin!
When responding to sms messages I find that as I am typing the message the words are appearing as desired but then sometimes the text stops appearing in the message mid way through as I continue to type and the previous message is highlighted for no reason that I can understand. I then tap on the message window where I am writing and everything that I typed, which was not being displayed is there. Annoying, happens frequently.
i second that motion...
happens to me 2, btw do you have the tweak where there is a send button above the insert file option?
thought it might be that?
Nope, I don't have that tweak.
yeah, happens to me too, I'm in the uk on t-mobile. its really irritating

For the problem regarding the message disappearing then reappearing if you tap on the input area i have no clue why is that so and wondering is there a fix for that, or probably custom roms do not have that problem.
However, if you want to prevent the problem of "previous message is highlighted for no reason.." i suggest each time you reply to a message in HTC Sense, use the right softkey and choose reply, the previous message is probably highlighted because you tap on the actual message and start replying from there, as you chose to enter the messaging client to view that message and the HTC MESSAGING CLIENT takes time to load all the messages from that contact, it will highlight that particular/latest message after loading all the previous messages associated with the contact hence the highlight interrupting your reply.
P.S sorry for my lengthy answer
That doesn't solve the problem as that option is not available in the message string view.
Yeah, i experience this problem too
i'm using 1.66 WWE ROM and im pretty sure its just on 1.66
Everyone using this ROM experiences it if you're in Conversation mode and select the text to reply..
Basically if you have a lot of messages with 1 person, the HD2 is loading the messages WHILE you're typing, and once its done loading, it will highlight the previous message and thats where your cursor disappears..
i'm still looking for a solution to this too
i'm curious if this appears on cooked ROMs like Duttys..
cause if it doesnt, i would probably think of upgrading haha
I got a similar issue, although it's not just SMS, but emails too. Another guy reported the same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6283141&postcount=2. Waht's going on suddenly?

The reply option is available when you go under menu>reply under the messaging preview in SENSE. For the highlight option, haven't found a solution to that either!

To enable graphic send icon button in HTC Messaging
The following registry tweak adds a graphic send button above the paperclip button. It also changes the 'send' left soft key to a 'back' soft key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\LSK_Send_Msg
Change from 1 to 0.

Ah-ha! Sorry. I misunderstood.
I'm afraid I can't shed much light on the problem. I have the same issue but only very occasionally. Every now and again it happens but not consistently. I haven't been able to pin down a cause.
Me neither - I cannot say why sometimes it does it and other times it does not when operating the phone in the same fashion.
You guys need to log this with customer services so that they can get onto it for the forthcoming firmware update. This phone is not that new anymore and there will probably only be the odd software update coming in future.
I always just hide the keyboard and reopen it.

OK, from where you are sat this is an 'endearing characteristic' of your phone and from where the rest of us are sat it's a bug.
Really common bug, reported here also:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585055
Please report it to HTC, it might get fixed then!

Never said it wasn't a bug, I just offered a simple fix. The same thing happens to me as well.
That's not a fix as it does not prevent the problem from reoccurring, it only remedies the symptom.
If this is affecting you, you need to report it to HTC.
