How do I set a "default keyboard". - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hi,
Every time I go to send a text message my keyboard keeps defaulting to the WM5 version. I then set it to "phone keyboard" which is fine for one text however, next time I send a text again it defaults back to WM5 keyboard default.
This makes one handed operation a real pain. Any ideas how i can sort this out??

intellipad question regarding sending text messages

When on the today screen, you select new message. Upon seeing the new message screen and intellipad input method is selected, you can't use the intellipad to choose names in contacts. You can type out the name of the person in your contact, but it won't automatically complete the name, and verify the contact you are sending to (with the contact's cellphone number displayed). But if you type a contact's name using the keyboard, after hitting 3 keys, it automatically displays candidates that you can choose to send message to. This creates additional hassles, use a keyboard to select the contact you're gonna send message to, then sellect intellipad to input text messages. It's kind of a hassle. Any ideas?
Agree.
I do it the other way around...when I want to send a text message, I click on the call button, find the person I need with intellipad, then click and hold the name, and the menu that pops up allows me to send them a text message...easier and faster this way!
Ok. Thanks for the tip. Sure hope somebody fixes the issue though.
Unfortunately, it's the way IntelliPad was designed.
<techie>
Instead of trying to handle the entered text on whatever text box/trich text pad/label/unsupported text object, IntelliPad builds the word in it's own little box until you tell it to move on (by pressing enter or space), and then just moves the word onto the active control.
This way, you have less issues with the text not working as expected, even though it causes the one or two niggles like in Messaging .

Issues with WM6

I upgraded to WM6 at the weekend and I've got a couple of issues. I'm not sure if this is for all WM6 roms or just the one I have ( LVSW(2007/04/23) RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.30.0.1). I've got the following problems:
1) When I open any message it skips to the bottom of the message which is really frustrating. How can I stop this?
2) I've hidden my sim contacts but when I compose a text message and type a recipient they still show up. How can I hide them completely?
3) I'd like the left button when viewing my inbox to be changed to "New" rather than "Delete".
Any help on the above 3 would be great. I've had a search for these issues/changes but I could not find anything

WM5-WM6 - Sending Text - predictive in To:

In WM5 when I wrote a text message to someone I could start to write the name of the person I was sending it to in the "To" field and then it would give me a list of people in my phone book which matched what I had typed so far.
I have now put on WM6 and it has XT9 on it. If I do the same now it does not present me with the list of people from the phone book, instead tries to do predictive text on it. I love all the rest of the place XT9 is active but this is one where I liked the way WM5 worked.
Is there a way to disable it for name entries into the To: field?
put a space after one or two letters
If you press space after a couple letters then it just puts a space in and waits for you to type the next word in, it does not then list a number of users who match those first few letters
on mine propose at least a name, you're right, not a list, but a namen yes
Hmm strange - I wonder if there is a XT9 setting somewhere which is causing this.

WM6.1 Text Messaging

In WM6, when I had several new text messages I could do the following:
1. Go into Text Messages
2. Read the first new message.
3. On the navigation buttons i could push the "left" button and the "right" button to go back and forth between messages.
The above steps no longer work with the ROM I downloaded from this forum (WM6.1 080408 Final For Excalibur WWE with English - By Kavana). I did download and install the eT9 fix already.
Thanks!
Threaded
Are you using threaded messaging or the old email style messaging? One of the best things about 6.1 is that you can use threaded messaging. To enable it, go to start - settings - accessibility - SMS Inbox threading and enable it. After that make sure to actually close the messaging app, or if you prefer restart the phone. Not exactly what you were looking for, but it makes texting so much better imo and makes switching between messages the old fashioned way irrelevant.
Yes, I am using threaded messaging. However sometimes I get messages from more than one person -- or I get alerts for work and I need to scroll through them all. It would be nice to be able to navigate to the next message with one button rather than three.
Then turn off threading messages.
Should work the old fashion way.

Arcsoft messaging reply keyboard appears and disappears

I spent the last hour searching for an answer before posting.
I'm using the NRG Titanium ROM with the native Arcsoft messaging (Windows) instead of the newer (and less user friendly) HTC messaging client but I had this problem in the stock ROM as well.
When a new sms message comes, I get the popup window. When I choose reply, the message window pops up briefly at full screen, then the on-screen keyboard pops up just like I want it to because I have "keyboardautodeploy" set to come up.
But then immediately it disappears and the message window comes back to full screen. Now I need to press on the keyboard icon for it to come up and then I have to touch in the text box to get the cursor back in focus.
I really don't understand why it does this. It does not do this on the email side and as far as I can tell the two are somehow integrated. Is there a registry setting in the SMS side that is telling it to open the messages in full screen which is conflicting with the autodeploy of the keyboard? It does not do this when i return to messages that I have already replied to, just new messages when they come in.
And no. I will not go to the HTC messaging client. It is a nightmare to use compared to the older arcsoft messaging client.
HTC Rhodium AT&T
NRG Titanium
Mobile Shell 3.5
no answers on this one?
i believe that the keyboard goes away because the Window focus suddenly goes to the top iframe of the messaging client, the keyboard will only auto deploy when the window focus is on an input area. Fix? no clue, sounds like a System issue, you dont want the htc messaging client, but thats what I use, and i have had no issues with it(just sayin)
