a great thing to do with the universal in my opinion is that when your in the phone layout, ou can use the keyboard keys a=z to get our contact, much like you can with contacts.
Through Smart-Dialler?
I've forgot how to turn it off; any ideas?
I really don't know if it is possible to use the hardware keyboard with the generic smart dialer. However as an alternative there is a program by the name of Imaginet FingerClix. This is also a smart dialer with added functionality to send SMS as well. This program can be configured to use the hardware keyboard to search ad dial contacts.
A great program and recommended

My Tytn was replaced under insurance after loss.
When in the phone app, pressing numeric keys used to enter the number but also showed matching contacts containing the sequence of alpha characters from the keys pressed.
The firmware in the new phone is different, and the phone app doesn't support this feature any more. Typing numeric keys simply enters the number. The only way to find a contact is to enter the contact list and select manually.
The new ROM is 2.07.161.1 with WM5.0 5.1.461 (Build 15671.3.3.0).
Can anyone cast any light on how to re-enable the alpha search feature in the phone app?
Thanks in anticipation!
Sounds like you're referring to PhonePad app?
There are CAB's for the PhonePad app on the XDA FTP server - your best bet is to do some serious searching as there have been issues reported using PhonePad with other 3rd party software.
You can download the English only version of PhonePad from >HERE<, but I'd suggest some light reading of the results of a search for "PhonePad" in the Hermes forum before you run off and install wildly
HTH,
Mark.
I think you miss smart dialing function. However this should be already implemented in your ROM. Search for smart dialer. The Phone pad application suggested above is T9 based input method, not a dialer.
Hi, This is my first post so go easy on me....
So, lately, my T9 is getting full of words that i accidentally have misspelled... For example, every time i write the word don't, the word font is displayed on the screen. It's really annoying
I Have looked under the keyboard input setting, but the only setting that is useful is the option to delete all of the dictionary that i have added.
I'm just wondering if there is a program out there that will let me edit my dictionary? I've tried a few, but, none of them use the existing dictionary of my HTC Elf.

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?
Hi All,
I am trying to figure out if this is a bug on my phone or working as designed. When I type an email in gmail, or the HTC mail app or an SMS in native or handcent I always get the HTC keyboard which predicatively corrects my text entry as i type.
When I use the built in browser to browse the web I do not get the same predictive correction and it accepts whatever key my finger touches. This also happens in the URL bar, Google search page, any web page, or the box that appears when you press the search button in the bottom right.
Is this working as designed? how can i get it to correct my entry when i am typing something into google to do a search?
Thanks
this is the normal behavior,
If you want prediction and correction in search and browser you could give the HTC_IME mod by Jonasl a try.
It's the stock htc keyboard with some really cool mods like gestures ,prediction wherever you like and MUCH more.
I use it myself and I would recommend it. It even fixes quite some bugs from the HTC stock keyboard.
Check:

BTW: You need the low res version for the HTC Legend.
Ok, Good to know it is the stock behavior and not just me. I must say I find it a little strange though as the prediction is a great part of HTC SenseUI and to not include it in the browser is odd.
I have installed the mod as suggested. It is just what I was looking for. Thanks.
