So I'm new to the HD2 scene. I installed wp7 (mango) and have noticed some problems with typing. If I use both thumbs to type, it seems to cause problems. Is the default keyboard not able to take advantage of dual touch (since multitouch doesn't work on wp7 right?)
Regards

Hello guys. I'm fairly new to this whole android os. it works fine for me except the keyboard is really annoying. its slow to respond. I'm not sure if the problem is a result of my phone. I have an Htc vogue running android 1.1 pls help. I really like the android platform and if I can get the keyboard to work right that'll be great.
1.1 was designed to have a hardware keyboard, if your running the latest kernel you could try overclocking and see if it makes it better for you. Android 1.5 or 'cupcake' contains a keyboard in the userspace as well we've been able to get the new HTC keyboard working on the android kernel as well. Check our posts in the last couple pages of the other android thread.
Hi I just stepped over to WinMo 6.5(.1). I tried several ROM's already but they all lack the standard keyboard like the one I used in WinMo 6.1. Is there any way to get that keyboard for 6.5(.1).
I like the gestures for capitals and enter/backspace. It also looks the most like a normal hardware keyboard...
Hi,
I just wanted to know if the HD2 has a multitouch keyboard like the iphone.
Apparently the Droid doesn't.

Thanks
At the moment. No, the HD2 has no multi touch keyboard
This discussion has been going on from keyboard, to games ( emulators ), etc, about how to implement the multi touch, and figuring out where the hell or how HTC accesses the hardware directly ( bypassing WM ), for there multi touch pinch-zoom.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Would really like to see this implemented somehow if possible, could make typing that little bit faster
Any update about the multi-touch keyboard? without it multi-touch, many letters are skipped if you type very fast. Is it really that hard to implement on the virtual qwerty?
I would really like to see a multitouch keyboard for HD2 too. It will be really useful. Without multitouch, typing speed is quite limited. (Don't ask me to try swype, I can type faster than swyping )
hope some devs will be willing to create one!
any update?
yes I am interested 2
This would be nice indeed!
i would pay money for a multitouch keyboard for multitouch winmo devices.
I can't believe that an experienced mobile company as HTC failed to appreciate such important feature. They even replaced the stock multi-touch keyboards on their Android phones with a single-touch version
any update?
would be awesome to have this....
What language dictionaries have readers found to work well on the HD2?
Of course, that is mostly a general Windows Mobile question--what good WinMo dictionary apps are out there?
However, there are some factors especially important for the HD2, besides the general factors important to all devices. The features important for the HD2 would be finger-friendliness, and support for WVGA resolution. (As well, of course, as overall being a good dictionary app.)
What are your favorites, and why?
My daughter uses SlovoEd 7.1 Deluxe on their touch pro 2. Should work on HD2 as well.
MSDict works very well on HD2. The 7.02 version is especially touch friendly
I'm asking this here since we are those lucky guys who probably tried all kind of builds/bases on Android (evo, desire, nexus1,desire HD,....) and Winmo builds! So logically we know the most about these 2 topics:
1- Does the multitouch experience change from base to base in android!?
What i mean is, have you ever tried to play a multitouch game on Evo base, Nexus1 base, desire base...??? Is it the same experience?! Are multitouch drivers the same in those android HTC devices?!? If not, which in your opinion has the best multitouch drivers?!?
2- Is there is some kind of emulator of Winmo in Android?!?
I mean there is some apps/games that are only available @ Winmo, is there is a special way (emulator or other if possible) to run those on an android device?!? If not, To devs and advanced users, do you think this can be done?!? What does it take to do it?!
Thanks guys!
1) I've tried Nexus, Evo & Desire and there wasn't any differences. There is a calibration tools in some builds with Sense but sensitivity was equal.
2) There is no emulator. In Linux world we have Wine witch can run Windows apps but there is nothing with Windows Mobile support.

Thanks 4 ur reply!
However i have read somewhere that Nexus 1 multitouch driver is a bit "faulty", if it's the right word!
IMO all these HTC devices have bad multitouch drivers! I sometimes have some struggling to play let's say Fifa2010 because i take off my left arm from "move pad" but the dot still at its place until i take off my right arm from the "A & B" buttons! So i realize that it's interfering one touch at 1 place with another touch on another place! Of course that doesn't happen all the time but it happens!
About 2), excuse my ignorance bcz i know nothing about Linux, but is it so difficult to make this "Wine witch" work on android devices to be compatible with Winmo?!?
1) I thing we have us own MT driver. Every screen & digitizer (or however its called) should have diff driver to work. But not 100% sure - it's possible we have screen & digitizer same as some other phone...
Multitouch in hd2 is locking when You have two finger in these same line (vert or horiz). To work You should move one of Your finger to leave common line (that "line" is quite fat!). I suggest try some MultiTouch Demo App from store - it's free and shows how its working in our devices.
2) Windows on PC and PPC are quite diffirent. I think its possible to make "Mobile" Wine but it's a _lot_ of work. And it's not 100% legal (Windows source isn't open). Moreover emulator will be a bit slow and laggy. And of course some apps will work, some not and some will hang Your phone
Hopefully cotulla will finish the sd bootable version of winmo soon... I know he's working on one that we can use with magldr to boot from sd. So with that we can have wp7 or android on nand and still be able to boot winmo when we want. Soon we will have quad-booting devices... WP7 on nand, and WinMo6.5, Android, and Ubuntu on SD... and maybe one day have a meego port that works well!
