Hi!A silly question it may seem to be but I desperately need a solution
I slide out the keypad and I want to dial a number (make a call) ...... but I have to press the DOT button (bottom left) followed by the number keys,is there a possibility to type numbers with pressing dot button everytime?
In soft keypad its possible but not on the hardwware keypad
Pl advice..thanx a million!
I don't seem to have this issue. When I type on the number keys, it shows the numbers on the right hand of the dial box and letters on the left. I can then dial either.
Perhaps this is a function of smartdial (which I thought came on pretty much every ROM, but maybe not).

I don't seem to have that problem if I push the green button first.Slide out keyboard and dial, or slide out keyboard first,then hit the green.
My concern was not with hitting the call button and typing numbers but what if I only want to use hardware keypad rather than the soft keypad to type numbers without having to hit the bottom leftmost dot button??
ny ideas r appreciated!!!
I don't know of a way to not use the function key when inputting numbers but I thought I would mention, just on the off chance that you weren't aware, that if you have a string of numbers to key in, you don't need to press the dot for each number, just click it twice in quick succession and it locks the numbers lock on. When you have finished, just press the dot again and it takes the lock off.
I am sure you probably already knew this but I thought it was worth mentioning just in case you didn't.

Thank you very much,that solved my problem!!I never used a ppc before,,used a wm5 smartphone though....nyways,case closed!
Thankx again!
Excellent ... glad I could help
That's got me interested now - why do cbreze and I not need to press the function key at all in order to dial a number (or name) with the slide-out keyboard, but kkiran and Nicky do?
Screenshot attached from typing "yui" (which is also 123).
Are kkiran and Nicky missing SmartDial?

Hi arghness, I don't have to press the function key to dial a telephone number on my keyboard, I only need to for typing in notes, word, emails, texts etc...
I just assumed the reason kkiran couldn't do it was because he was using a different rom and didn't have the smart dial on his phone but I didn't actually check
Yeah Nicky,I downgraded to original Cingy 8525 ROM cos xda live 0.1 almost bricked my costliest investment in a mobile phone after Nokia 6600 (499$ in 2004)!!
I may try XDA Live 0.20 and hope it doesnt' disappoint me...So far,wm 6 failed to excite me...cos no interesting features - wm6 = = better skinned wm5
You are braver than me ... I daren't change my standard rom for that very reason, I am sure if I attempted it, it would be bye bye phone
I am only brave enough to try a few registry tweaks and install lots of programs ... and I did do the sim unlock on my phone, that was nervewracking enough
you sim unlocked it?wont' u void the warranty?I feel sim unlocking may benefit u only if u plan to sell the mobile or use it with another provider.
nyways,hope a generalised wm6 rom is released by providers/m$!!our hermes is by far da most popular phone,so they shud honor us!!

Yes, I think it may void the warranty but I have another phone contract on a different network and I really did not want to carry two phones about, I just wanted to be able to swap the sims over occasionally to check for texts etc.. so I took the chance.
My first Vario II developed the screen alignment problem and was returned under warranty months ago and I had also unlocked that one. I didn't mention that it was unlocked and they never mentioned anything so I guess I was lucky.
When I slide the keyboard out and pressing the blue dot to access the special character. When, for example, I want to press ! (s), it came out as @.
So I had to press ~(a) key and it will come out as ! It's as of the keys are one letter further. I checked the keyboard settings and it's set to English (UK) - what is causing this problem?
Thanks.
*bumpy bump*
Guess no one knows?
I'm guessing you want American settings, right? you have to change some keyboard reg value (sorry, dont know what it is) to 0409 for the american english. I think if you use Registry Wizard, that will make finding the value a lot easier.
Nope, to UK English.
I think I have Registry Wizard, will take a peek. Do you know the code for UK English?
Cheers
Right, got the registry wizard loaded up and it says thta it was set to English (UK) so it should be correct. Saved it, rebooted the phone, still the same issue.
I thought hmm, let try English (US), saved it and rebooted. Then tried again and it's all correct now.
Weird... does this seems to be right to you? or it's a bug with Registry Wizard?
Hi everyone...
I'm new in the WM world so i'm asking for your help:
How do I get PCM Keyboard to work in Portuguese?
I tried the 0.14, with a portuguese layout I found on the web (the only one I found!!!) and iphone skin... it works but... it has some bugs:
- missing the "_" in the layout
- when I try typing the name of a contact in a SMS so I would normally get the contact suggestion, the list only appears when a click on backspace button (ex.: I want to send a SMS to John, I type "J" (nothing appears), I continue typing "JO" (still nothing), then I click on the backspace button (and ONLY THEN, a suggestion list appears).
I installed the new version (0.24) but it's impossible to find a portuguese layout!!!
Any portuguese in the room (or others you may know where I can find the files I need...)?
Thank you so much!
Hi all.
Is there a way to disable XT9 text input on the mini? I've tried all sorts of stuff but the bar with the suggestion words keep coming up. I would like to use the plain ABC input instead of always having to correct my text entries, especially given that I use loads of technical words and the dictionary keeps wanting to correct them...
Thanks for you help!
look at settings - region and text (10) - text input (2)- text input options (3) and here turn everything off.
i have not an english version and do not know the exact namings, therfore the numbers. hope it helps.
thanks
thanks. phone's not with me right now. will try when I get home...
Wonderful! Just thought that there were some settings on the keyboard itself that would allow for the T9 disabling but was wrong! Can now do everything that I want, thanks!
Hi,
I have the Dutch version but when I go to country settings -> region, I only can select a country.
I don't see the text options.
Same problem, I'd like to switch it off.
Any help is appreciated!
Regards:
Daan
no no no. Actually as birgit123 said it, it's not the "region" in the Start-Settings. You'll be able to access the "region and text" on the last tab at the bottom, going all the way to the right where you see Personalize as the first option. Scroll through there and you'll find what birgit123 said.
Hi, it sounds so simple and I'm a user of the Touch Diamond 2 for over a year now, completely knowing how to use and configure it but my wife got the HD Mini now and it's different.
Here some screens comparing my Diamond 2 with the HD Mini. As you can see I can switch off XT9 at the Diamond 2 but proceeding exaclty the same way on the Mini, I don't see the region and text option????
Can anybody help me out here, maybe a screenshot of a HD Mini for dummies (because that's how I feel now )
Once again, thanks for all the help!
regards: Daan
hello
I've installed Android and the languages available are chinese and english, but with that I don't have problems.
the problem is when I write an email or sms that I dont have the portuguese dictionary
do you know how to fix this or download the dic?
thanks a lot
deiota
Hey! Me to! Where can we get the Portuguese dictionary?
Somebody?
if i hold my google voice button on my keyboard a settings thingy pops up if i go to that i can manage all kind of text message settings like auto correct and input language
if you don't have google voice installed you might just want to hold all your keyboard key one by one and see if there a settings thingy show up
