Swype problem - HD2 General

HTC TP2 - T-Mobile US - WM 6.1 Prof
I loaded the HD2 swype on my phone. Works great except that when typing in the To: field of a message, the old HTC keyboard would suggest the nearest match right above the HTC keyboard. When using Swype it does not offer any suggested matchest for my To: email address. Does it work the same way with the HD2. Just wondering if it swype or the combination of swype and my phone (device/os/etc).
Thanks

i know what you mean, i don't know of a fix, but if you swype the name, then delete the last letter the suggestions should come up.

Touch Dual 20 keys keyboard not compatible with Opera Mobile

Hello!
I am using Touch dual with 20 keys keyboard, chinese version.
I have got a little problem in my H/W keyboard with Opera Mobile. Cannot input characters in address bar... only the numbers can be show.
Any idea??? Thanks!
I have an HTC Branded Touch Dual 20 Key English Version (Dont know if its WWE)
I dont have any problems typing with the keypad in abc, or XT9 in Opera mini 4 at all; I dont know how different this is from Opera Mobile. Opera Mini is a java/midlet app and I think Opera Mobile is a full blown application. Hope this helps in your research.
If you need additional information, let me know what you are looking for, like version or rom info.
Thanks

I think this is a bug in the keypad because the same thing happened to me when I was writing an SMS the other day! I closed the SMS and terminated the messaging app and then reopened and it was fine. No idea what caused it...
Nope, and it's not the first Phone where the hardware keyboard only type numbers in opera mobile.
Asus Phones with T9 Keyboards have the same problem.
So seems to be really a opera problem.
Opera mini works because keyboard is handlet by the midlet manager (jbed on the star) and not by opera itself.
Getting the same issues on my 20 Key version also.
My keyboards is using the first character on the button for example in the address bar and I right say i.e. facebook
it will display 4a718oo6
I am getting this same same problem in IE on the device.
Say I want to check my mail at yahoo mail
Username filed keyboard works fine
Password field keyboard will act like it does in the address bar in Opera.
How are you guys entering details in the password filed are you not able to use the slide out keyboard for this?
same issue on my 20 key version. However, the browser DO work with keyboard on the touch screen. In essence, our input method just got narrow down to the ones onscreen. cannot use the slide out keypad.

Another difference is that Opera Mobile ($24 USD) allows you to save image from the browser whereas the mini (FREE) does not.
Same issue here. I have installed "Goodlink" on my DUAL - same Problem. I every good application (mail, calendar, notes etc.) you cannot use the keyboard.
Also Mozilla MINIMO hv the same problem.
When type something only number are displayed.
HI, I have recently bought Touch Dual and experienced the same problem with Goodlink. Could you find a solution? Thanks

Interesting,, I thought it was just me, but my 20 key dual is the same as you describe. So far I've noticed only opera mini 4 is an issue and I've been using the on screen virtual kb for that.
I have same problem on my 16Key T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus. Hardware keyboard types numbers only in Opera Mobile, Composing/replying to email or sms. Very frustrating, have to use touch keyboard all the time.
If anyone has a fix for this, let us know!
try this...a more permanent fix would be great tho...
It happens to me when im texting to, Orange Touch, unlocked to Tmobile. I find the easiest way around it is this:
After selecting reply to a text message and then opening the keyboard to type, close the text you were going to write.
Then find the text and click on reply again.
It should then let you type letters ok. (keep the keypad open)
Bit of a pain so a fix would be great but this is what im doing to work around it at the mo.
Im guessing if you have the keypad open then opening opera would solve it.
Hope this helps.
I am the same problem, 16key, problem is with VITO SMS CHAT. Not only does the 16key not work, but also the touch keypad doesnt work, it doesnt rotate the letters but types all. example: Pressing 5(j-k-L) three times consecutively, type J-K-L, where it suppose to type L only.
I have yet to try this with opera, but haven't installed it yet.
has anyone found a fix yet for the opera problem?
I've noticed that this problem doesn't occur when using the dutch vodafone stock rom...
I can't find the needed files.
Edit: O, it seems that the problem still exist in the addresbar... the problem with entering passwords is gone though....
I had the issue where it would only use the touchpad in the address bar on the native T-Mobile ROM.
I'm now using the Opal keyboard (patched for the Nike) and everything is fine.

HTC Diamond Keyboard Issues on Mogul

Hi Guys,
after playing for about a week with the touch diamond keyboard on my mogul I've come to the conclusion of being the best SIP touch keyboard i've ever used BUT (here is the good part)
*"DO NOT INSTALL IT ON YOUR MOGUL UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CONTACT PREDICTION TO GO AWAY WHILE WRITING A MESSAGE OR EMAIL, SUPER SLOW INPUT WHILE WRITING AND ALSO IT TOOK 9 MINUTES TO UNINSTALL."*
with that being said it is up to you if you want to give it a try.

Other issues are that some are not able to uninstall unless they hard reset, issues arise with your physical keyboard.
These are not issues that arised on the 6800, but rather most devices out in the market. It has been stated in the thread with the leaked attached software that the software is very buggy and doesn't have proper testing.
Install at your own risk. I personally rather use the HTC Touch Keyboard and Keypad which is almost identical except for the skin.

Does this break the autocomplete feature for the slide out keyboard on sms/mms contacts too or just for the SIP keyboard?
Carlos, do you have a cab to upload for that HTC Touch keyboard? Cannot find by searching XDA.

auto complete only seems to work when you use xt9.
but other then that idk if there would be a way to be enable it.
I installed it and used it for a while... i must say its a great keyboard for a touchscreen... but then i realized the main reason why i got the mogul vs the touch, THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD!
This completely screwed up the autocomplete in emails and sms, text predictions and SIP options, even when using the hardware keyboard.
Uninstalling was a nightmare... so I did a hard reset and went on with my happy mogul...
I still think its a great software keyboard, but for a devise that its designed to... not the mogul
The Diamond keyboard seems to work on my Telus P4000 running DCD3.0.4 with the only bug being that when you press a key the icon for the selected key is really big but this goes away as soon as you life your finger so it isn't a big deal. Autocomplete seems to work for me but I never used it much so I may not be testing what others say is not working. If I create a new SMS and start typing in someone's name using any of the Diamond keyboards (since there are 3) or the hardware keyboard the name comes up before I finish typing so I don't think there's any issue with that.
The Touch keyboard is almost the same you say? I may have to try that one...
touch keyboard
Aledc78:
Just for clarification, the keyboard you had so much trouble with prediction and uninstalling was the Touch, or was it the Diamond? I'd really like to give the touch one a shot. My large fingers are WAY too big to even consider using the default WM6 keyboard, its a joke. I can't give up prediction though, and as a general rule I steer clear of anything that is a "nightmare" to uninstall.

I managed to uninstall Diamond keyboard. I used SK Tools to uninstall and voila...it got uninstalled
Stay away
Yeah, this keyboard is really a pile of crap. It broke all my auto complete, and it also broke the ability to page down by pressing the space bar in a browser. And mine wouldn't install at all, it sat there for over 30 minutes doing nothing, I had to hard reset to get rid of it.
Seriously, if you want a device without a keyboard, just buy a touch. A physicial keyboard is better than any soft ketboard anyway
I found the latest version of the CooTek TouchPal keyboard with the Diamond theme works a lot better on the Mogul than the Diamond Keyboard. It's not free though.
CoolTek
Still, compared to the Diamond ported keyboard, CoolTek sucks.
I'm surprised that the problem with inputting contacts and having them autocomplete via the Hardware Keyboard is still broken. The hardware keyboard is generally preferred, but the Diamond port is amazing in small spaces / one handed typing.
anyone know of a fix?

Wing Keyboard

The keyboard (virtual) on my Wing is the one that I use and like. I want the 4 rows of keys like a normal keyboard. Meaning, 123.... top row, then qwerty next 3 rows. I don't like the ones that are ABC or 123. I also like the way my words are saved and stored for quick recognition. Where is this keyboard located in the Wing? I would like to copy it and the Dictionary to another phone.
I have tried all the other keyboards such as SPB, Rescoe, Interkey, etc., and do not like them.
Thank you!
I dont know how or where to get the stock htc keyboard you are looking for but I did want to make a recomendation, have you tried "BJK HTC EzInput Full Keyboard?" if i am not mistaken its what the latest htc models are rolling out with. Search this forum for it and give it a try all you do is download and install the cab for the keyboard and then the language cab and your set to go.

Swype 2.0 Problems

Hello,
I installed Swype 2.0 for WVGA screens on my HD2
and also installed the 'Baly23 Swype HTC-Like Skin'
however I cannot seem to get the app to function,
frankly I don't even know what to do after installation.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
start a new message or note or something,I guess the normal keyboard shows up? press the arrow just to the right of the small keyboard icon bottom center below the keyboard, choose swype.now start using it.
I didn't install any skin, i'm just using the one that was posted yesterday from the tmobile hd2 and it works perfectly. is the skin that important to you? I would say just use it without the skin

do you have a link to that post? can not seem to find it
I can't get the skin to work either lol, not that bothered though but I do agree that the latest build of Swype from the T-mobile ROM, works very well and it's clearly optimised for the HD2, unlike the one from the Omnia II.
I'd post a link but I fear Swype is going to be categorised as a 'Grey Area' just like Microsoft Voice Command.
ok i now realise hte mistake i was making lol, i was expecting it to be with the predictive text or abc functions on the left of the keyboard, the picture shows up however when i click the swype icon a error appears regarding a missing 'EnglishUS language' which i have no clue about, any ideas?
thanks

Swype for Wildfire?

Have someone installed swype for wildfire? Any sugestions?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
What is swype ? What does it do ?
With swype you can text without lifting your finger off the keyboard.

I installed swype 1.47.24.6828.t100. Page I downloaded this soft from said that it was a version for QVGA. Sadly it does not work :/ I'm waiting patiently for someone to figure out what to do.
Swype installed correctly but despite enabling swype in language&keyboard in settings I could see swype keyboard. I don't know if it's because of HTC sense or something.
Has someone succeded in installing swype for wildfire?
Remember, when you have installed and enabled a new keyboard, you need to "switch to it" too. That you do when e.g. typing a sms message. Then you hold down your finger on the text area, and in the bottom menu "input method" or something like that you have to select swype.
I haven't tried it for myself, because I own a Desire, but sounded like you didn't switch to swype

Thank you so much!
That's exactly what I needed to do.
So as you said you need to:
1) install swype from apk
2) enable swype in languages&keyboard
3) start typing message. hold finger on typing area and select "input method". Select swype and voile - you can type in swype. In the beginning there is a tutorial on how to use swype.
My version was for QVGA but it still said I have an incorrect screen size - despite this it worked fine!
Thanks again.
I don't know if it's allowed here but that's the version I used:
If it's against the rules, just delete the post.

Hi, I´m using SlideIT on my Wildfire and it's working perfectly. There are many languge packs available.
Yep, i installed slideIt, and is working great. Thanks for the help.

hey kosiara, is your swype version outdated? cos when i tried running it says trial period ended ):
I am using v. 1.54 for qvga. No FC. No trial period end. Perfect.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Could you please give the link or attach the swype Apk you got
If you use a google and write to "search box" a Swype 1.54 for qvga, first link will be right.
Now the first link isn't right. You have to choose third or fourth link now.
did u got any problem in lanscape mode?
mine seems weird
Swype included with wildpuzzle rom works fine

Huh? Skype? Are they even the same on the first place?

We're talking about Swype, not Skype.
