OK, this may just be a Pocket PC thing rather than a specific XDA II thing but I'm not sure.
Can anyone tell me if their XDA is learning frequently used words that are not in it's dictionary. For example, my name's Ravi and after a couple of weeks of typing emails, letters etc all ending '... Ravi', it's still not learnt the word. All it suggests is 'Ravaged' (!!)
This morning, I got a bit fed up of this so I created a note and typed in 'Ravi' about 100 times and guess what, it still doesn't learn it.
Is there a trick to getting the dictionary to learn new words or is it just my name it can't stand !!
Maybe someone else can try this and see if it works !
Ravaged
Ravi,
Did you ever sort this out?
I would love to enter a few words (including my name!) in to the database

Check out Fitaly. 60 days trial. You will be able to build own shortcuts. And I think it's a much faster SIP then the others.

I'm not sure if the XDA learns new words by itself, but you can add words. Not sure if there's a simpler way, but this (rather complicated one) works:
- open any transcriber-aware application
- write the word you want to add, using keyboard or transcriber
- mark (highlight) the word
- switch to transcriber; if the second row of icons is not visible, tap on the hand icon
- tap on the icon with the red check mark to open the "corrector window" (not sure if this is the correct translation for "Korrekturfenster" ); the highlighted word will appear in the new window
- double-tap anywhere inside the word.
- in the menu that (hopefully) comes up, chose "add to dictionary" ("Dem Wörterbuch hinzufügen")
Voila, you're all set!
But please be careful - I didn't yet find a way to remove words from the dictionary...
Cheers
Daniel
many thanks,
ashby
Never sorted it out - everyone I spoke to said that the OS doesn't add new words. I'm just about to buy Calligrapher - I tried the demo and it's amazing - I'm not sure that this feature is available on this program either though. I guess I've just given up adding new words but I will try Daniel's method outlined above.
BTW I tried Fitaly and what the hell were they thinking ? Is it supposed to be an easier input method than what we have already or is it just designed to fry your brain ?!!
TenGo's pretty decent though !
thanks all
Ravi
Getting Word Completion to learn dutch!
Does anyone know how to change the word completion dictionary on my Qtek 2020 / PPC 2003 to another dictionary / language?
It is said that in PPC 2002 you could swap the file \Windows\user.dct, but not on PPC 2003 (the file is apparently not there).
Try out WordLogic: http://www.wordlogic.net/software.html
Not cheap, but works very well!
I'm having a problem emails in Chinese on my HTC HD. I have 智能输入 installed with the fonts that lets me enter text in Chinese or surf websites.
But when I get emails in Chinese, the subject line comes up fine, but the message itself displays in ASCII, even if I view in UTF-8, and I don't have the option to view in other Chinese encodings.
Is there a component I can install to fix this?
Hi,
I also have an English HTC HD, when I bought it they installed for me:
雅黑字体_14mb , 马兰花全屏手写, and 梅花输入法
and I can see and write Chinese.
I'm also looking for an other pinyin input method, the one I have now is not very convenient for me because when I input in pinyin "hao" the soft propose me characters for "hao, gao, gan" mixed and it is more difficult for me to find the right one...(i'm a french guy and my Chinese is still not very good...)
my solution is with CE-Star installed, and replace the font with the one you liked say msyh, and change the FontLink registry (google it)
and install the SIP you're used to..
that would pretty much done everything
EDIT: you can even change the system language to chinese, meaning displaying almost everything in chinese like you're using a CHS/CHT rom
To any and all of the three of you. I am English but visit Chinaa lot and like to be able to show Chinese characters / SMS messages etc. to taxi drivers etc.
At present, I cannot even show Chinese chacters on my screen (they always come up as ASCII).
Can you explian what:
雅黑字体_14mb , 马兰花全屏手写, and 梅花输入法
is in English and I will try and track it down.
I don't want to replace my SIP or my default language at all - just have Chinese charcetrs display ont he screen.

u got the cab for 马兰花全屏手写 by any chance? i was brought up in the uk so i can't exactly type chinese but i can write a little
雅黑字体_14mb is a Chinese font
马兰花全屏手写 is to hand write, I found it at http://bbs.cnsmartphone.com/thread-441569-1-1.html
梅花输入法 is a pinyin input I found it at http://www.dayhand.com/temp/PlumSIP6VGABeta2.rar
Thank you for the information. I'm sorry to be a pain but since I really can't begin to search for the font:
[FONT="]雅黑字体[/FONT][FONT="]_14mb [/FONT]
in English, is there any way you could let me know if it is freely available and poiint me in the directin of a download site? I know I'm asking you to do some search for me but I'm not being lazy - I really can't do this on my own.
Thank you in advance for any extra help you can give.
I'm in the same boat. I don't read or write Chinese, but want to be able to display it on a WWE HD. CE-Star corrupted my softkey backgrounds (see here .)
The search continues
Funnily enough I have that same problem with my softkeys and I hadn't even heard of CE Star.
Mine seems to correct itself after every second or third soft reset an d I think was initially caused by trialling AEButtons Plus. Unfortunately, having uninstalled AEB+ many days ago, I wouldn't know which orphan files to look for any more.
Do please update this post if you find an adequate solution to displaying the Chinese fonts. I will do likewise.
In the following website you can find the package I used to display Chinese in the past year or so, on Kaiser and HD, the package also includes an input method but I use touchpal instead for Chinese input.
!!!!!IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!! PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALL
The msjh.cab is not officially supported on HD, I had to install multiple times to get it working - failed installation result in freeze that you can only get your phone back by HARD RESET! However once it works (restart after the phone without freeze) the problem never comes back, I have tried many many times and combination however cannot find a right combination to bypass the problem constantly..
Because of the problems above, please use it with caution. But I have to say this package in combination with touchpal (which are both free) is the best package for Chinese reading/writing I have tried so far, I have used CEStar and Monster Chinese, both have intermittent problems, compare to the package I am using, although not perfect, but it only gives you headache until you get it installed successfully.
http://www.studiokuma.com/wm/?section=support
(click on the link read "msjh.cab (3610KB)" to download, you will need to check the checkbox and click on the accept button on the popup page to start the download)
Note: you can also download the "droid.cab (1469KB)" on the same site, which will install the "Google Droid Sans Fallback" font, its very pretty and clear.
Fantastic - although scary! Since I am only interested in output rather than input, would it be safer for me to just install the Google Droid font? (I assume this is a Chinese font). And is WinMo clever enough to know that all incoming chinese text can be displayed in this font rather than ASCII or do I need to chnage some things to point it there?
Much appreciated lawrencel... I have ibnstalled only the droid font, and all looks well. It required a soft reset after install and no issues whatsoever.
When I try to download from that site, it gives me a 404 error file not found, can anybody upload it somewhere else. I'm only interested in the fonts only as well, thanks in advance.
edit: I went back to the website and tried to download again, noticed that I forgot to turn javascript block off, now it's download just fine. Works on first attempt, was kind of hesistant to install it after what I have read in this thread, but glad nothing bad happens. My thanks goes to lawrencel for the link.
I just downloaded and installed the "droid.cab (1469KB)" with expectation to be able to display chinese characters as well, and as the result, my HD has restarted by itself more than 10 times and I have not even saw the result yet. Now I have to find a way to uninstall it immediately. No sure what is the problem, but my HD cannot complete the reset process and keep restarting itself.
马兰花全屏手写 is this simplified chinese only?
No way to back out. I have to hard-reset my HD. I would advice you not to install this.
I have never seen such an intrusive software.
No easy way out
Here's a detailed reply I got on another forum :
The problem with IE (and any other browser/email program) is that most mainland chinese web pages are encoded in GB2312. A lot of traditional ones use Big5. The code pages for these charsets aren't included in the standard windows mobile builds. There are a few solutions to this problem:
Install the code pages
Unfortunately easier said than done. The relevant file is called wince.nls, and you can get the right version it if you search for it. However the only way to install it is download a ROM where someone cooked it in, or cook it in yourself.
Install CE-Star
CE-Star has a special hack which installs the full wince.nls file. However I believe it's this hack along with their anti-piracy garbage that makes CE-Star so flaky on many systems. However if reading this content is important to you you're pretty much stuck with this option unless you're technical and enterprising enough to muck with the first option.
I am only interested in simplified Chinese, but given what I've been hearing about CE-Star, I most probably won't install it. Until I find a ROM to download, I will stick with A4 and go check my Chinese mail directly with Opera.
And I'll check whether I can get any replacement email program that can handle Chinese, don't know whether QMAIL does.
Has anyone found so far any trusted method to receive sms, mails, surf web in chinese and keep the system in english??
Has anyone install the msjh.cab file lawrencel is talking about?
So far 2 members has installed the droid file, for one it worked marvellous for the another it was a disaster
Sorry to hear this is still a problem for some. What I didn't realise until a couple of days ago is that CE-Star Suite II is bundled with the Touch HD English version here in HKG. The EULA shows "CE-Star 1.1 License Agreement (05-25-2000)". I haven't installed it (and don't plan to because droid works) it but maybe someone has and can report back for other users.
works partially
with both the sunglobe font and ZTA4_VGA installed, I enter text in Chinese, display Chinese without any problem in Opera, IE, SMS, outlook-synched email, and the subject line of downloaded pop3 emails. Of course Pleco works beautifully, but they have their own system. All of the above in both simplified an traditional characters.
What I still can't do is read the body text of pop3 emails, which drives me crazy. I suspect this has to do with GB-encoding (I use simplified Chinese), which does not seem to be supported by either FlexMail or the WM native mail.
The weird thing is, I have an auto-forward from my pop3 email to Outlook at the office. After synching, the emails that come out garbled in my pop3 inbox display perfectly in the outlook inbox. It looks like Outlook does perform the GB to UTF-8 conversion automatically.
hi, i wld like to install simplify chinese input and ffont. tried some .not working veri gd. anyone has ant that can intro ?
i have tried zta4, sunglobe , ce star . nt working welll . anyone can help ? thanks
I am using QQ Pinyin Input, http://mobile.qq.com/py/ which currently in beta.
If you are not keen in beta app, try this http://shouji.sogou.com/
Although HD2 is not listed in the list of supported device, it worked for me with QQ Pinyin Input. I did not try the one from sogou.com as I was looking for both Simplified and Traditional Chinese input which QQ Pinyin Input serves my need.

Hi,
thanks for ur suggestion. May I check with u does this input disable the contact suggestion when u compose a sms ? I have tried others input before and although can type chinese, the contact suggestion function is gone. The QQ pinyin input u used includes chinese font to view alsoz ? thanks !
Here are the screenshots of QQ Pinyin Input on my HD2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647307
Sorry, I don't understand what you meant by "contact suggestion". Is it "predictive input" that you are referring to ?
I believe QQ Pinyin input did put a font on my HD2 during installation.

hi thats right . its the predictive input . previously, i have problem with zta4. after installed, when i want to sms, the function in which it will suggest names will be disabled. example, i want send to john, i just type jo then the name will appear . zta4 seems to disable that . otherwise its perfect. do u have this issue with QQ ?
Ok, I did a bit of digging around the web to find out what "contact suggestion" is about. I think I know enough to answer your question.
HTC Messaging app which has silhouette of a person on the right-hand side, which, when touched, will bring you into the contacts list selection tab.
What I am trying to say is that the messaging app has been designed so, therefore I don't think any IME is able to modify that field into one with a pull-down list with multi-selection capability.
You should therefore look for an alternative messaging app that can support "contact suggestion list" in the recipient field instead of another IME.
pool,
I need chinese input as well. I tried CE star which worked perfectly on my HD but on the HD2 the keyboard never shows up.
I just downloaded QQ and it works fine for chinese input but it does disable the predictive contact lookup display. If you type someones name and hit enter it will find that person and add their number to the message. But it does not give a list to chose from.
If you want predictive lookuo you have to press the person icon next to the "To:" field and enter the name in the contact search field. it is a little extra work but it is effective.
There is probably a registry edit to reactivate the contact lookup in SMS. I might search for that.
If you find someting better let me know.

hope will help all the problems
solved
Problem solved,
I uninstalled CE Star and noticed that when I would enter a contact name in sms or email the qwerty keyboard would stay on t9. When I switched off the t9 I would get the list of contacts dropping down matching the typed characters.
I uninstalled qq and reinstalled qq and CE star and now when I touch the to: box to enter text the keyboard automatically switches from t9 to abc and the contacts drop down aas I enter text. Now I can also use swipe to enter contact names and get the contacts to drop down.
I am happy now.
hi, was abit laggyy in reply. sorry. anyway, uwhat i did was to install QQ to type. my phone sonehow still unable display chinese, so i then installed sunglobe.
i too get the contact lost missing error when i type sms. my workaround was to exit and enter sms again. then the list appear. but seeing then u guys seems to find a perfect solution, i might follow ur way as well

Forget about QQ Pinyin, forget about sunglobe, I used them all and wasn't impressed by them.
Instead, back up your data, hard reset, and try THIS solution made by geniuses called Joseng and dioxda2 here on xda.

Why don't you PM the senior members that I mentioned above.
They're good people, and pretty sure they'll help you out if they could.
Would you try this ROM, it's in simplified Chinese, see if you like it ? Read the instructions and every info before you flash. Flash at your own risk.
Yesterday i flashed my wife and my phones with MP7. We both have HTC HD2 T-mobile editions. First i flased with XBmod ROM and found while it was brilliant, Chinese isnt supported.
We installed about 100 apps from the marketplace that allowed us to input chinese, but everytime we sent messages to each other, all we got was a message with some characters, some weird symbols and lots of squares.
As we both live in China, its kinda importants for us to be able to read and write Chinese.
Previously we used WM6.5.5 and we had to install two .cab files (1 for the chinese font, and 1 for the input keyboard) I know MP7 is different and uses .xap files (hense its not backwards compatable), but ive seen on the 'net and here that the chinese fonts are in MP7, but as they are 14mb, most chefs take them out.
Does anyone know of a ROM that has the fonts is embedded or is there a way i can get a modded ROM and put the fonts in myself?
Thanks in advance!
Try YukiXDA ROM.
I remember him testing chinese on WP7.
Brilliant, thanks for the tip. ill check it out!
Not sure if he has stopped support, but i downloaded the ROM with chinese in it from Yuki and didnt support Chinese, but thanks anyway!
Its WP7 not MP7.
Yes thanks. saw my mistake
For what it is worth, I was in a public relations office in Taipei that represents Microsoft Taiwan. One of the managers of a Microsoft account has an HTC HD7. Microsoft Taiwan sent him a program that allows him to read and write Traditional Chinese on his HD7. I am not sure if it would support Simplified Chinese, or if it would work on an HD2 with WP7, but you might try contacting either Microsoft Taiwan or Microsoft China and ask them about your problem. Otherwise, it seems that your only course is to wait until the Mango update is ported to HD2, as I understand that update does support Chinese.
Thanks for that info, ill check it out. We are currently using the "i'm Chinese app". Its ok, but to write an email, sms or search the 'net, you have to open the app, type what you want, then it opens the normal web or sms or email, insert the chinese, then send! i do miss the keyboard from WM6.5 i had!
My next question is trying to get Windows phone device manager to work! i installed it (as admin), plug my phone in, close Zune and wait. WPDM says "connecting to Nips HD2", so it knows my phone is there. It then says "Nips HD2 plugged into USB", but doesnt show the total storage, cell network or battery info and when i click on sonething in the list (manage apps, explore files etc) it says connecting for about 5 mins, then fails with "couldnt connect to Nips HD2". My phone is hacked(?) with chevron, i checked. WPDM also seems to fail to install touchxplorer on my phone. (on the WPMD post it says it should auto install the first time you use WPMD)
Ive read all the pages in the XDA DEV post about WPDM and nothing has worked, ive tried their website, no luck. Ive even contacted themm but no reply. Do i need to give them a donation to make it work, or am i missing something and being a complete noob?
Any suggestions and/or abuse would be great!
Thanks!
Hi guys,
how to use the new feature T9 dialer of the room nFinityGB v1.14? I verified that the feature is enabled, but i don't know how to use it. In particular on my contact doesn't appear the keyborad....

Easy: go to phone (where you usually input numbers) and you'll see a new keyboard layout, in which you have numbers and chars as well. If you input any number the t9dialer will look for contacts including that number or corresponding char. See attachment
Well... seems that the screen capture has problem :banghead::thumbup:

thank you very much!!
another question... if possible
How to calibrate the G-sensor?
Thanks
guess it's not possible with this rom... I use to have it in 1.6... a long time ago..I almost forgot it. Try to send a message to other users, maybe opening a new thread. Sorry that I can't help.
S
ok .. no problem!!
thanks again
You have programs that you can download from Android Market (Play Store) and with them you can re-calibrate G-sensor of your phone.
Can't remember now how those applications are called. If I remember, I'll edit this post.
lol dont feel bad, i was about to ask a similar question but found this thread
Just type the beginning of someones number in Phone app, and it will automatically show your contact.
My thought about this is just useless feature for lazy people.
