Sometimes when entering data in a form, the standard stock samsung keyboard is replaced by a numeric pad - containing only large numbers in.
I would like to activate this pad at will, since it's a lot easier to enter numbers.
Anyone know it is possible?

it is possible if the coder set the attribute for the text box, so that it display a numpad instead of ordinary keyboard.
Yes, that's what I thought.
It sure would be nice to activate it from the user side when needed...

Hi Guys,
I just got a Jamin and have it setup with MS Exchange Direct Push. Working great so far.
Our company IT policy has the device set to 10mins timeout and it will lock. I need to enter a 6 digit PIN code to unlock the device.
Currently when I unlock, I can choose the keyboard or letter recogniser input options etc. I have seen screenshots where you get a simple numerical touch pad on the screen for the PIN code. How do I get this? This way I can enter the code with my finger instead of using the stylus.
I think the big numerical pad you see for the pin input is the built-in security feature of pocket pc. I don't think what you are refering to (in your case) is the standard pocket pc pin thing, as the standard is only 4 digits (vs yours, 6 digits).
What you could do is to try to search for thumb keyboard, or big keyboard, which offers you very big keyboard that you can use for anything (e.g. not just entering pin). I find that difficult to use as you need to re-train your memory to know each character's location.
I think there are some posts available in this forum, but just google it will do.
Hi,
I've had a good search and can't find anything to help with this problem; basically when the key locak comes on, instead of the numeric pad on the screen to unlock, there is a text box, and the numbers are needed to be input with the stylus or via the main keyboard. This is realyy awkward while driving!!!! PLease help, how can i get it back to the numeric screen pad????
Thanks.
It's very simple.
When you set a numeric password consists of only 4 digits you will see unlock screen with big numeric buttons.
If the password consists of 5 or more symbols you will see what you can see now.
Thankk you very much! it has been driving me crazy!!
I have just upgraded to the new official WM 6.1 ROM, and have noticed that before, when I would type a new text message and begin typing in the name of one of my contacts in the "To:" box, their name and number would come up so i could just choose it without having to type out their full name. Now I can not do that anymore, I am not sure if it is after installing the touch (original not diamond) keyboard because i never tried text messaging before installing it. Is there a way to get this feature back, because it is much easier than having to click menu add recipient.
Also, for the touch keyboard, is there a way to choose the full qwerty keyboard always, because whenever i try to make a new text message, I can only get the phone pad like keyboard (three letters per block) or the qwerty with two letters per block, is there a way to always get the full qwerty?

It has been my experience that this is due to the Touch Keyboard. I had that same problem, along with characters not typing correctly when I used the hardware keyboard, that made me un-install it from my Sprint Mogul.
Also, it is a known problem with the Touch Keyboard that it will not let you select the full QWERTY keyboard. I know there is a fix for it by using an altered Touch Keyboard, but when I tried the altered one it also had the same problems as the original, so I un-installed that one as well. My advice to you would be to un-install the Touch Keyboard and use something else like PCM Keyboard, that is the one I use most.
Another thing, it might take quite a long time for the Touch Keyboard to un-install. I know I had to leave my phone sit for about 10-15 minutes with the wait cursor spinning around in the Remove Programs setting before it finally was deleted.
I hope this helps!
its not a keyboard problem thats how 6.1 is my phone does the same thing regardless of what keyboard im using
it seems to be a problem with the touch keypad, as after uninstalling it, I am able to select my contacts for a text message as soon as I begin typing their name. Thanks for the help.
Hello,
I've run into an odd problem with my HD and clueless on how to fix it. It seems that when I type using the compact qwerty and phone pad keyboards, pressing a letter key will instead produce a number. For example, if I wanted to type out an A letter, the number 2 comes out instead, M comes out as 6, T as 8, etc. Its always the little symbol above the letters for each key. However, the full qwerty keyboard works fine.
Any idea how I can get it back to normal? Any help would be much appreciated.

I had this same problem and I fixed it by disabling T9 mode in HDTweak.
My last winmobile device (treo 750) allowed me to just start typing on the qwerty keyboard to get to contact I might want to phone.
On the htc hd2 if I press the phone button I can start typing in the name on a numeric keypad. So if I want to call Aaron I need to press 2,2,7,6,6.
Is there no way I can choose to type on a querty keyboard so i can just type Aaron.
There is a slightly clumsy way of doing this by going into contacts, choosing keyboard and then typing but it is a much slower process. Are there any other ways of doing this?

Nope - you can't change it (unless you find a 3rd party dialer that does what you want). How would you dial a number if you had a qwerty keyboard?
I must say I hardly ever had to and if I did I would either create a contact or use the on-screen keyboard.
It is just wrong having to type a word on a numeric keypad.
Are there 3rd party dialers? Would it still act this way if you removed sense?

Yes, there are 3rd party dialers (you'll have to search to find them), but I've never heard of one like you're asking for. And yes, turning off Sense would have no effect.
This is annoying.
Are software developers geeks that don't have an idea of usability?
With my last WM phone I've dialed 3 times faster.
But someone think I need to do more finger exercise.
Ridiculous.

Eh? Dialers should be numbers. Simple.
Just to inform that it's working again with the last rom.
