I have a question for those of you (if any) who are using the letter recognizer, the block recognizer, or the original Windows Mobile keyboard as your input method on the Touch HD: Do you get word completion pop-ups?
I'm a long-time WM user (the Touch HD is my fifth WM device) and the letter recognizer is my preferred method of input and one of the reasons I like it is the convenience of not having to type entire long words most of the time, with the ability to simply pick from the completion suggestions pop-up instead. However, I get no completion pop-up on the Touch HD when I use the letter recognizer. The same is true for the block recognizer and the WM keyboard as well. Am I alone in experiencing this? Am I alone in being annoyed by this? What gives?...
I use the Letter Recognizer and find it faster than any of the keyboard. Make sure you enable T9 in the default keyboard and word completion will be available. I thought I lost it too when I accidentally disabled T9.
Thanks for your response. This tells me that something might be wrong on my device, because I get no word completion pop-ups even when I do that.
Here are all of my current settings related to this:
On the Full QWERTY keyboard, the "ABC <-> T9" slider is set to T9.
On the Compact QWERTY keyboard, the "ABC <-> T9" slider is set to T9.
Under "Touch Input Settings", "Word Completion in T9 mode" is selected, "Word Completion in ABC mode" is selected, "Auto-Substitution" is deselected, "Spell Correction" is deselected.
Under the input "Options" (the original WM input options), on the "Word Completion" tab, "Suggest words when entering text" is selected. (The "Suggest after entering" setting is "2 letters", the "Suggest" setting is "4 words", and "Add a space after word" is deselected.) And "Enable Auto Correct" is deselected.
Still no word completion suggestion pop-ups...
I have no idea what could be wrong!
If there's anyone out there with additional insight into this, your feedback would be appreciated. You might be my only hope.
It's odd, I set mine to the "phone keypad" and now it wont go back to any of the others, I've tried them all, selected them, go back in and *poof* it's gone back to a standard phone layout. Turning it on and off failed to fix this so I'm presuming I'm going to have to reset
I have the same problem here too.
What keyboards do you have installed? I have the SPB Keyboard, reckon that might affect things??
All my settings are the same as above...and HD Tweak says T9 and word completion are on. T9 and word completion wwork fine on the keyboards but not the letter/block recogniser.
I don't have any third party keyboard installed (if I don't count the HTC stuff that came with the phone). I do have a bunch of other software installed, on the other hand. But, I don't think any of those have anything to do with input methods (although, it's hard to discount "unintended consequences"...).
I must add that suggestions don't work for me on the Windows Mobile default keyboard either. (I'm not sure if you implied that it works on yours.)
So, my exact situation is as follows:
HTC Full QWERTY keyboard:
Suggestions displayed horizontally listed (i.e., HTC-proprietary)
HTC Compact QWERTY keyboard:
Suggestions displayed horizontally listed (i.e., HTC-proprietary)
HTC Phone keypad:
Suggestions (surprisingly) displayed horizontally listed (i.e., HTC-proprietary)
Windows default keyboard:
No suggestions
Letter recognizer:
No suggestions
Block recognizer:
No suggestions
Suggestions aren't applicable to the Transcriber, naturally.
Perhaps I should have tried this much sooner, but it just occurred to me to try a wider Google search on this topic, and I came across another thread on this site that seems like it might contain the solution(s):

I'm at work right now, so I can't try it right away, but I'll surely do it as soon as I get home. If anyone else with this problem is willing to try that before me, please let us know about the result.

I use the phone keypad on mine and it was fine up until yesterday.
The only thing it gives now is numbers! every other method of text input appears to be ok
Strange, I have had no issues with word complete as long as T9 is selected in the default HTC Full QWERTY keyboard or any of the HTC keyboard. Had this issue with my Omnia in the past where if T9 is activated, the Word Complete pop-up won't work and I had to do a registry tweak to enable word complete, after which T9 is disabled in the other keyboards.
One questoin from a newbie -
i have a problem that I can not menege to use Letter Recognizer.
In settings for inpust I select Letter Recognizer. And confirm.
But always I get keybord. If I open settings again the Full Querty is chosen.
thanx
sorry - I've read the f... manual
I was to lazy

I had a similar problem on my rom (German) after setting T9 to enabled in HD Tweak. Setting T9 in the keyboard settings is fine but you might wanna try to deactivate it in HD Tweak if you enabled it there before.
should it only work when T9 is on ? Or should it also be on when you use ABC?
Cause I would like to have it on when I enabled ABC
I use the letter recogniser about 50% of the time.. I find it slightly quicker than the keyboard on WM.. However as a long time user of UIQ... SE P800/900/990/1 I wish there was something similar to the letter recogniser available on those?? Any one know? It was so logical.. Use the lower half of the screen for letters, top for numbers, and straddle the middle for capitals.. Not like WM where you are restricted to a small box at the bottom.
anyone know if you can get this for WM6.1?
Well, I'm happy to report that the solution explained in the post at the following URL has done what I was trying to achieve (post #8 on that thread):

This brings back the word completion pop-up lists on the standard Windows Mobile input methods. It does eliminate the HTC word completion on the HTC input methods, though (including T9, which makes the Compact QWERTY useless for typing words). But, if you're not interested in those input methods and all you want is to be able to use the Letter Recognizer, Block Recognizer, or WM keyboard with word completion, this may be your solution. (Naturally, try it at your own risk...)

How exactly did you get the Letter Recogniser to work? I used to have it in the OEM ROM but my Enable_recognisers.cab doesn't seem to work on Dutty's 2.1 xtreme ROM.... or is it me??
As a resident of Norway I'd like to have a Norwegian layout on the on-screen keyboard. The standard Android keyboard has it, but the ASUS keyboard doesn't. The Norwegian dictionary in the ASUS keyboard is quite good - but its useless without our local characters æøå (which is missing in the layout). The Android on-screen keyboard seems to be missing the Norwegian dictionary (it only get hits from the contact list!).
Does anyone know how to get anything else that the US layout on the ASUS on-screen keyboard? And does anyone know what happened to the Norwegian dictionary on the Android on-screen keyboard?
No idea on the dictionary, but for the norwegian letters, I imagine its similat to the swedish version. Press the a/o and hold it for a bit, and you will get options, including swedish/norwegian letters.
The same is for true for ASUS Finnish keyboard - no direct umlauts and long pressing a/o is a subpar solution.
I use Swedish Android keyboard when typing on-screen and switch to ASUS Finnish keyboard when using Scandinavian keyboard dock, because the keyboard dock is not functioning properly when stock Android keyboard is selected as the input type (pressing "ä" on keyboard equals ";" in produced text).
Bit inconvenient, glad that it is quite quick to change the input type.
I rooted my kindle fire and the only thing that is missing is a keyboard in my language. I did the trick to change the input language on the stock keyboard but it doesn't have the Greek language. I installed a different keyboard but I cannot find.how to.change the keyboard. Is there a way to change the keyboard or install my language to the.stock keyboard? Thank you.
you can change the input language on the stock keyboard allthrough the options are not displayed in settings:
there is a app called "any cut" on the market
in any cut you can select new shortcut - activity - and select input languages or so - can't tell exactly cause mine is german
then you have a shortcut on kf and you can select your language
btw. with playing around with the activities you'll find some other settings too (accounts and settings, ...)

When I wrote I did the trick, I meant I did what you just said but my language is not included. Is there a way I can add my language to that list?

Install a kbd with your language (Swift and anysoft both have Greek). Then long press in any text entry box. A popup will show. Select 'Input method' and then choose your new kbd. It will then default to the new kbd.
When want to write messages & on samsung keyboard, swipe the space bar to change language keyboard input, it won't change the
language. As on samsung keyboard settings, input languages, as there is 2 languages on it.
However on keyboards and input methods, the samsung keyboard tick is grayed out.
There is just only Samsung Keyboard & Google voice typing.
When I did factory reset, it did work. But later when adding some apps,
later it won't work of changing languages..
What's the problem?
