Hi all,
do you know of any modification or setting that would change the keyboard layout to ABC instead of QWERTY? My girlfriend can't get on with the QWERTY layout having used ABC on her old touchphone for years and before she throws her HD2 out of the window I thought I'd look into it for her.
I use SWYPE on mine and it works great for me but she can't get on with that either. Any help and/or advice would be appreciated.

Is it possible to change the layout of the keyboard when you write an sms?
It has now the qwerty in normal mode but I would like to have a keypad like on a normal phone(like t9 input mode) when writing sms with the X1(not to use the hardware keyboard)
all wm devices i've come across have been able to use phonepad
which does just what you request
dont see why x1 should not be able to use the same program
as keyboard
or any of the other 3th party onscreen keyboards for that matter
Eww why would you want to use T9 over the hardware keyboard anyway!

Yes it is possible, you should have a small arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen, tap on this and then you can select from a variety of keyboards including a T9 one.

No there is no T9 keyboard on the Xperia - just the ordinary and very small WM keyboard
Install TouchPal and you got yourself a nice thumbfriendly T9 keyboard on the Xperia

It was there on the demo version I played with some weeks ago.
You mean that you could select it when you open up the keyboard menu by clicking the little keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen? There is only two options there - Symbol Pad and Keyboard (and then the Options..).

When I use HW keyboard it always has ABC mode on. I have to use FN key and T9 key to choose T9 manually.
How can I enable T9 to be automatically ON when I use HW keyboard?
Thank you for your help
the t9 always works with a onscreen keyboard. Also if you manage it with a hack a problem would be to where the word suggestions should pop up on the screen.
when someone write a programme for your suggestion than it would be a custom keyboard without letters, only word suggestions and pops automaticly up when the keyboard on the pro is used.
Maybe someone already wrote it.
It would be nice trough
Search for the cab god damn it! There is a cab in one of the ezinput keyboard threads in dev & hacking that allows T9 to always be on (Yes, including the HW keyboard).

You don't happen to have a link to this cab at hand, do you? I for one would like to have the T9 always on (even with the hw keyboard), but did not manage to find the correct thread / cab even after an extensive search.
I searched with no result, unfortunately. If you could be so kind to address me to that cab, I would be very grateful indeed.

DeadKeys / T9 as default behaviour for the Fn+Space combo - Full HW Keyboard phones
I thank you very much. Even if I walk around here for years, sometimes it happens that I am not able to find out things. Fortunately there are others who help
You're very welcome, glad to help.
Thanks for pointing out about the keyboard, did you test it and it works?
why not FN + Space It´s working at my device
Because I would like that when I slide out the keyboard I can immediately type with T9 on, without switching it on manually - this is the meaning of "automatically ON"
okaaaay. sry for that, but just tell me the sense of T9 with a "complete" keyboard!?? Do you also have T9 at your computer at home?

I see a couple of ways T9 is useful with the full keyboard.
1. Words like "won't" can be typed out with w-o-n-t rather than w-o-n-FN-'-t
2. It helps with long words. We can use the arrow keys to choose the word after a couple of letters rather than typing out the rest of the word.
There's a fundamental difference between the keyboard on a mobile device like the Rhodium and your desktop keyboard. On our Rhodium, we have only our 2 thumbs. On a full size desktop/notebook, we make use of all 10 of our fingers.
It seems that we are concentrating on why I have asked to have T9 ON, while I was asking HOW to have it on.
If you don't agree that it is a good thing that somebody finds out how to, simply don't post here
I never used T9 but it supposed to offer words from vocabulary? in my case it doesn't...
well, has someone found a way to make this work on landscape or hardware keyboard ??
having to always activa xt9 is boring ..
(that cab does not work) looking at the registry is changes from 1 to 0 when changing to landscape and it's the htc keyboard doing this. If you activate xt9 and change to the default windows keyboard it works but then you have a small keyboard when on portait.
I agree, the same thing happens to me. The easiest solution is to have it rotate to portrait, pull up the XT9 keyboard and then open the screen.
It's a pain, though. Would love another solution.
Dead key
None of CABs which can be found here are not working the way that if I will press Fn+Sym it acts as deadkey - always T9 dialog is shown. Have anybody idea how to change it?
Do you use deafult keyboard, better keyboard, swype keyboard, smart keyboard ?
what ?
thanks
Default. i wish there was a keyboard like fingerkeyboard for WM - fully customisable.
I don't actually like any keyboard for this phone but about the best one is Slide Keyboard and its free. The buttons are much larger than the standard and its easy to work out.
I'm hating default keyboard because i keep hitting settings button, plus predictive words won't work in all forms (like here, i can't get words predictions and i can't understand why)
I'll try slide keyboard
Thanks
EDIT: unfortunately the italian dictionary for slide keyboard is not "available" on the tattoo market !
I wrote to the dev
Hi HTC Dudes,

Thanks in advance Dudes.

I have to switch the keyboard in settings. Then there is a little gear on one of the keys of the default keyboard. You just longpress that and it will offer you to select input mode. You can select the keyboard you have installed yourself.

On mine, my keyboard has an EN button on it. If I press that it gives me a shortlist of languages. If I then press Settings I can then alter text input settings - can't see arabic though...I'd expect you'd need an Asian ROM for that...
