INPUT KEYBOARD pop , how to stop automatic popping up

INPUT KEYBOARD pop , how to stop automatic popping up
I have some software that requires and User and password input, and the WM5 INPUT keyboard pop up tool automatically pops up when I go to this screen.
How can I turn this Wm5 input tool off, or to manual, or just not to pop up, whenever a text entry is required in a software form.
Any ideas ?

See

look for "Make the SIP stop coming up" under Pocket PC Specific

Check this freeware solution out:
PHM Power Toys.
Scroll down to the bottom for the external keyboard.
Select this from the SIP panel and the popup is gone.
There are a few other good utilities in this package, but that one solves a big problem.

All the above solutions dont work for Wm5, any more ideas ?

I found this solution for WM5 and nullkeyboard
http://personales.ya.com/beemer/prod03.htm
nullkb.ARM4.cab (84kB) Windows Mobile 2003 y Windows Mobile 5, QVGA y VGA.

I'm using this Nullkeyboard since 4 months, works fine.

I've been using the method described in the MSblog linked to by mrandery. Just click in a text input box, ignore the on screen keyboard (i.e. don't close it) and type with the universal's built in keyboard. The onscreen keyboard will go away and won't come back unless you click on it again, unless you use some badly written software that explictily calls for it to appear.

Texting on the P3600

Hi, I'm very keen on buying the P3600 and am just wondering about a couple of things - firstly, not having used a touchscreen before, how easy it texting using the on-screen keypad. Secondly, an odd question, but one I've been wondering about - if you're viewing a web page, but are holding the P3600 in landscape (or sideways) when you use the scroll button which way does the page scroll - horizontally or vertically?
Thanks

Vertically.
Texting is fine on the Dopod D810 - I use the stylus and keyboard only now but if you prefer Phone Pad style, there is one installed too. I just don't like the way it requires you to select the word from the prompt list rather than just display the word in the msg straight away. If you're ambitious (& patience), you might also like to try the Transcriber with your hand-writing

TenGo text entry
Anybody tried TenGO Thumb and if so, does it integrate well with the Trinity and more importantly is it easy to use?
Thanks for all your help so far.

I've tried to install TenGO before but couldn't get it to work. Right after that, I found PhonePad and haven't looked back. For long texts/emails, I use Spb fullscreen keyboard...no stylus necessary...

Hi
i have tried to install TenGo and this phone pad, oh and a couple of other alternate keyboards, and try as i may i cannot get them to show up. They exist in the list, both as an alternate input method and as an option on the keyboard choice pop-up. A soft reset after picking one still returns me to the original keyboard.
Am i missing something really obvious? If so where should i start looking?

Banafish, what is 'Spb fullscreen keyboard' - is it a stand-alone application?

Try using the iPhone-like keyboard. Love it for texting.
Of all I've used so far, thats the most comfortable, especially in landscape mode . Not only the keys are big, it also doesnt eat up all your screen space when writing like that of spb keyboard (which is good for writing essays, which I'll never do).

SPB fullscreen keyboard is an application:

You can install/uninstall it like you would any 3rd party app. Once installed, it will appear as an input option and you can access it that way. I have it mapped to one of the hard buttons so that I can just activate it when I need it.

Does anyone know if there's a sip out there that shows how many characters you've typed...because you really need to know when you've reached the 160 characters limit for a single text message?

I thought you can see this in the default message window, just that you need to close the text input panel first.. or scroll down the window.

ok, I just got tengo keyboard to work. Not for fast one handed operation, although you can try tengo thumb. There's a free 'lite' version of the regular tengo keyboard available.

Anyone ever tried using Fitaly? I managed to get upwards of 40 words per minute using that, even sometimes hitting 50 wpm. I installed 3.5 on it though, and it slowed down my phone so much, I had to take it off.

getting morphgear to work on landscape?

I was wondering if anyone can help me get morphgear to work with landscape because it doesn't seem to want to change to landscape mode when i slide my keyboard and aswell i can't change my button configs.

Landscape
I set my Morphgear always to be in landscape, you set this under the "Global setting" - click the third icon from right and select "Global setting" and set "Orientation" to east. Remember to click on the word "Orientation" and not "East".
Also for configuring the buttons i use "K for Raphael" - have you managed to configure the keyboard in a different way?

I'm very interested by this topic.
It is possible to play the game in full screen WVGA 800x480 landscape?
And to configure every built-in keyboard's buttons to play games?
Thanks for your answers!

Hi, does the 'KforRaphael' really works? Because I tried 'kforTP' and it doesnt work on TP2...

Yes it really works When i start it it says:
"You can now map: A, S, Z, X, TAB, 1, 2, -, =, BACKSPACE, ENTER, UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT in game."
and also you can toggle the TF3D
I've configured the keys and it works good. Then when it comes to the emulation, well you have to turn of the sound on the SNES - i haven't tried any other emulator - to make it really playable. Super Mario works fine though, with sound, a bit slower than original but still works. Im haven't figured out the most optimal setting and i don't know how to tweak the whole mobile to make the gaming experience faster.
Maybe someone else has managed to make this emulator go fast on a newer HTC device.

SNES module works with some problems - crashes if you slide out the keyboard while open. Genesis module is far too buggy and requires soft reset every coupld of minutes.

Yes... it's not superstable - that's for sure. If saying it works like playing the real deal, then i would say it doesn't work. It seems like the emulators are outdated and doesn't seem to be updated for newer handsets. It would be really great if someone could pick this up and make some really nice emulator that would work with as many different phones as possible.
For me it's just fun starting it up an play a little, even if slow. It hasn't crashed totaly on my Rhodium.
If you need it for serious gaming, no it doesn't work.

Morphgear solved
To get hardware key working on morphgear first enable both input in global section.
Then go key binding in emulator section. Slide hardware keyboard on. If you have problem go down use hardware cursors. Press option for key. Press "..." and window popup. Now enable virtual keyboard and input key. Close virtual keyboard. If you get 229 code try again. Go binding next key. accept ok. Play with hardware keyboard. Tested on my HTC Touch pro 2, 2409 morphgear version.
But please found solution for hardware keyboard in dosbox.

my tp2 works fine with morphgear.... to lanscape mode change the 100% zoom to window size, change the auto driver to GDI(in global settings) , orientation North(global settings) . to config the input u have to tap your virtual keyboard first , tap "other input methods" and tap keyboard. after that u tap the button that u want to config,tap the (...), tap your virtual keyboard and tap the virtual button (q,s,e,w,a. your wish). if u do something wrong u'll stay with the number 229(229 cause u don't change the input method in your virtual keyboard). if u does the right way u'll see numbers like 89,81,72,.... cause u config your virtual keyboard right. hope it helps....

here is what i posted on another emulator forum.
I have the (telus) TP2 and have got morph gear working if you have a ctrl key there is and easier way but to get it working on my phone i downloaded KforTouchPro and morphgear start KforTP and hit switch to M$ IME then minimize then slide out my keyboard and open morphgear (i have found sliding after causes plroblems) and then im free to play (however another issue if i touch the landscape Right side of the screen if gets all screwed up but if i touch the landscape Left side of the screen it goes full screen.

there was the comment about going into global settings and changing the orientation to east that is also required
and yes KforTP works atleast on the telus model

Keyboard options not viewable

On my HD2 phone I have installed Resco Keyboard (also there was another program but I have uninstalled it) and I don't see (or know) the options menu that it is said to be when you tap the triangle next to the input method indicator. I don't see any Option in the menu to configure the selected text input options ?
Where it is ?

Never mind found it in Settings menus...

So you replaced the default, powerful, HTC onscreen keyboard with a rip-off of the crappy iPhone onscreen keyboard?
The iFanBoyism will never cease to amaze me...

No, I don't like this either, now I just try all the keyboards I can find, until now Finger Keyboard is my preferred

[Q] Cant get rid of compact keyboard

Hi All
Bit of a silly problem this.
I flashed my HTC HD2 with a Windows embedded handheld ROM a couple of years ago. I haven't used this phone for ages and have no idea which ROM I flashed.
Anyway, it all worked fine until one day, I found I was using the compact keyboard (2 letters / key) and I cant find a way to get rid of it and return to the normal keyboard)
IIRC originally there was an input selector icon below the keyboard. But on this ROM all I get below the keyboard are
Windows, Done, Keyboard, cancel, OK
I've tried settings>personal>Input where this is an option for phone keypad and compact qwerty but it is not selected and changing it seems to make no difference to the keyboard in use.
Its driving me nuts so can anyone tell me how I get my regular keyboard back?
TFAI

tap & hold perhaps to top of keyboard icon or slightly to left or right perhaps !

If only . . . .!!
I've almost worn a hole in that part of the screen!!

Normally it tap & hold for about half a second slightly to right on the keyboard.
Perhaps try it with keyboard open or closed.
Could also try tap & slide to left on keyboard icon with keyboard open .
If all fails you could do a search for a sip selector tool that can be used for toggling through sips or use sipchange & select sip you want & set delay to 8sec & soft reboot & it should have loaded your chosen sip once booted.

Tap and hold to the right brought up a Text Input settgins window (hopeful but closer examination showed it onoy contained XT9 settings, a tutorial on text input and 'Symbol Lock' + 'Typing Sound'
.
Could also try tap & slide to left on keyboard icon with keyboard open ..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That brought up a single small pane which had 'Touch Input' and a green circle.
Then touch and hold that made it go away
Then touch to the left of the keyboard icon produced the desired menu !!
I mean WoW, how is anyine supposed to work that out!!!
Anyway I donwloaded the cab in case I get stuck again
Thanks for the advice

Glad you worked it out :-S
Is a bit out of the usual on your ROM.
Really needed a more detailed sip icon so was intuitive of left/right tap zones :-/
Most proper roms have htc ezsip built in which also can have a shortcut in programs for activating a full sip selection menu.
if you decide you want a change/improvement I would recommend the NRG custom ROM, link below should you ever want try it.

Another one I remembered for sip selection was vjsipswitch.
this pops up a sip menu from shortcut in programs, you can also make advanced shortcuts to select specific sip or have toggle effect
cab & thread link below to round this thread off nicely for anyone who stumbles on it.
