I install a third party Soft Input Panel (SIP) called "The Phraze-It."
the problem is when i choose to fire up the input, it does not fire up. it remains with the idiot default keyboard.
anything i can do in the registry? i try to use SIPChange but still not working.
Please help me!!
I encountered the same problem on ppc-6700 WM5. Their support say I need to hard-reset.
Could be a problem of Black ROM... Try LVSW ROM, works here...
Could be Black or could be a memory problem. I had an issue with Calligrapher that resolved after removing the HTC Home plugin.
I tried SIPChange to set a new keyboards (HappyTappingKeyboard and TenGO Thumb), but it didn't seem to work. Eventually, I found IMselector/IMselecter (the filename was spelled one of the ways). It is somewhere on the board, I'll go look for a link for you. I used that to set the new keyboard as the default keyboard, then softreset. The new keyboard worked perfectly.
the cause of this is the custom skin of the original keyboard. there is .mui file which u will have to overwrite but i dont know exactly to get it back to original.
at10ti0n,
can you elaborate further step by step on the .mui?
Anyone,
what is the link to download the IMselector? please! i still can resolve the problem
Here's IMSelecter. Install this to Device, not Storage Card.
After you've installed your 3rd party SIP, use IMSelecter to choose that SIP as default (there should be a drop down list, and in your case, just Phraze-It). Then, tap the power button to suspend and thus keeping the change (just to be safe), and then soft reset. Your SIP should work.
(this whole process was used on WM5, try it out, if it doesn't work, PM me.)
I installed IMSelector on my HTC Touch running stock HTC WM6 ROM. It correctly sets PCM Keyboard as my default SIP. However, the SIP icon now shows virtually all the time in the lower area (between the soft keys) every time I start a new app or go to the Programs window - regardless of whether or not there is an input box on the visible page. The default device behavior is to only show the SIP icon when the visible window contains some form of input control - i.e. text box, combo box, etc. Now, I get the icon on evrery new screen.
Any ideas on how to get the default behavior back?
Thanks,

I do not succeed in running PocketCM keyboard on B&B 4.0. I can install it successfully, but when I select the keyboard to use it, it always switches to the default keyboard.
Does anyone else have this issue?
You need to do a softreset after installing the .cab! That worked for me.
I don't know if you saw this, but on the site where you downloaded the PocketCM Keyboard there is also a forum where you can download dict. files in several languages (like Dutch, German,...)

i just installed it (v0.5) and immediatly after i made a soft reset. but i have the exact same problem you described. when i select it, it switches to standard keyboard instead. also, i cant open its option dialogue because PCMKeyboard has to be SIP to open that dialogue.
are you trying to set the PocketCM Keyboard via Setting\Input??
What you could try, is to change the keyboard from any screen where you see the keyboard icon down in the middle of your screen.
I am working with the 0.4 version and it works very good and quick.

i tried both with no success. i guess i will look for a v0.4 and try that one.
[edit: ok, v0.4 doesnt work.
what i found is this: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?11,801
this is not the best solution, but hey, it works even with v0.5]
I used SIPChange attached, selected PocketCM as default and soft reset. Works like a charm since then (4 days). Just to let you know.
I agree with Doume. It worked for me, too, with sipchange.
NEWS V.5 POcketcmkeyboard
http://pocketcm.com/keyboard.php
I tried with SIPchange, that didn't work.
This tip from the pocketcm forum worked for me:
Make a soft reset. Try to enter an app where there is no possibility to tape (for example Settings) and try to select this keyboard. And after that you can use it in necessary apps. For me it works.

great keyboard by the way!
It seems that this is a bug of BB 4.0, because I have this problem with PocketCM Keyboard AND Phone Pad (HTC). But Phone Pad works always for a few days and then i have to soft reset. PocketCM Keyboard works never.
That would be so great if Pocket CM v.10 and Pocket Keyboard v.5 would be integrated in rom 4.1. Just a suggestion.....
PocketCM Keyboard will work in B&B 4.1
Try this one, uninstall pocketCM Keyboard and soft reset.
Install IM default selector from CAB, now softreset another time,
Install PocketCM Keyboard 0.5, start-programs-imselector, and choose PocketCM, start-settings-input-PockectCM again.
Soft reset, and voila.
This method worked for me
I installed pocketCM Keyboard. Changed the SIP under settings. Soft reset my phone (using HTC P3300, WM5.0)
Opended program like ' Notes ' . Before start to write anything I've changed the SIP to the new installed app (with the keyboard icon on the bottom).
Changing SIP this way solved my problem of the self-changing SIP.
I hope this is of some help.
cheers

i just reflashed to B&B4.1 lite and installed the newest pcm (v0.13 beta) and pcm keyboard (v0.8). both work like a charm.
anyone knows how to delete the new htc keyboard(dutty's one), so that I can restore the input method to htc's original one?
cos I found it is not capable with some of my applications,
any help will be grateful, thanks in advance!
I want this also...the new thing, doesn't work for me...can help it!
So, someone???
My way to uninstall built-in apps:
1-Look for an uninstallable cab for the exact same app & same version.
2-Install this cab in the Device memory. The new files & registry keys should replace the old ones for the same software AND will make it uninstallable
3-After softreset (if needed/preferred) go ahead & uninstall the app
4-We're not done yet using SKTools/PocketMechanic or any other system tool software, cleanup the RAM, broken links & bad registry files..
NOW you got rid of the unwanted built-in software
But I'm not quite sure if this is HEALTHY for the device
the only problem that I have is that sometimes the keyboard is stuck at the numbers, so I can't type a normal text message with letters.
I found a work around.....
if you are experiencing that problem, open your opera browser and click on the address bar. then the keyboard will change back to qwerty
You can try to disable the input by using some tweaker like SKTools
Gota try it thank you, all of you!

deactivate T9 & soft reset
I have a Sprint TP2 stock ROM WM6.1...
This problem started, or rather, was discovered when I tried to disable TF3D SMS in favor of Microsoft threaded SMS.
I saw on this PPC geeks thread, a Manila file which, when put in /Windows, would allow me to tap a new SMS and open Microsoft SMS instead of TF3D.
After doing this and soft-resetting, I discovered that my pop-up keyboard was messed up. (ScreenShotA). I was able to get a full keyboard to pop up by tapping the invisible ^ next to the center keyboard soft key (ScreenShotB), however the keys were very small. I opened it up in landscape (ScreenShotC) but the keyboard was the same size with deadspace on either side. I deleted the recently added 47dd6acd_manila file from /windows and reset, but still have this keyboard. I want to get the original keyboard layout back (ScreenShotD).
How do I do it?
Please Help! Thanks!
lol
my guess is you just incidentally disabled the htc kb. i believe that i the standard wm keyboard, look in your settings
I found a solution on PPCGeeks:
set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\Ime\CurrentET9Style to 0.
occasionally the built in keyboard shows me a different than expected keyboard. For example, durring txt messages, it would show the phone keypad "with the 1-9, P, w keys" or it would show the internet one "with .com button". I tryed looking through the registry for it, but its a mess tryn to find the key that was changed. i have the touch input v2.0 (build 35555) on the AT&T rom.
If anyone else has had this problem and knows how to solve it, the help would be amazing.
p.s. on my previous phone, I had the VITO Zoomboard, but i like the way this new keyboard is in how it changes..but not when it changes to something that isn't appropriate for the given event
Did you install the classic word completion or word correction cab? If so,
GoodThings2Life said:
When enabling Classic Word Correction, Opera users may experience an issue in which the soft keyboard gets stuck in web or numeric mode. To avoid/correct this, click on the web page instead of the address bar before exiting Opera.

I installed the disable xt9 file which changes registry values?
Just now I used the resco registry explorer to extract my reg files and found which keys changed:
=== normal keyboard ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000000
=== web keyboard ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000006
=== numeric keypad ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000006
now I gata find a program which will make an exe or lnk to change that value of the reg
I have the exact same issue. The phone seems to get stuck on the number keypad with the W and P and will not go back to the full qwerty.
Soft resets do nothing to reset keyboard. I did the following edits to get word suggestion:
Go to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409
Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0
Otherwise I have done no registry edits except removing proxy info for Opera to get it to work on Rogers.
This is most annoying so any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
I have tried using opera page before exiting but it still comes up as a number pad.
Applies to any HTC Touch Input 2.0 keyboard

Thanks for this ... you really helped me save a lot of time!
I find that it will also flip to this input style when trying to add a contact. Once it does this I then have to go and start opera, touch the address bar and the input changes back to qwerty. Then I can exit opera. Its kind of a pain but at least I know of the work around.
thanks for the opera info - I did not install any completion cab, but this did fix my keyboard issue.
I just got this problem today. I have yet to be able to change it back.
I can tell you that this occurred in the Windows Edit Contacts menu (that is to say, go to HTC's "Edit Contacts" and select "More").
At first it gave me a simple numbers and arrow keys only keypad. I soft reset and it changed nothing. I then decided to retrace my steps to try to fix it, so I went back to the edit contacts screen and fiddled around, very shortly it switched to the keyboard as described by the OP. Numeric keys, parenthesis, a 'P' and a 'W', etc... stuff used in phone numbers, I suppose. I haven't been able to get it back to a full keyboard, yet. I've messed around with the keyboard options, switched to and back from other keyboard choices and got nothing.
Anyone else want to investigate this further with us?

Same problem for me, so I did the Opera method.
It definitely originated (for me) in "edit contacts".
I used the stock Opera (9?). I did try to just tap the google search bar with no luck.
Just click on the address bar after you start the browser and it will allow you to switch.
*Non-registry changin' noob method*
I have a Tilt 2 running the NEW ROM.
I want to disable the automatic pop-up of the soft keyboard, so that I get to decide when I want to use it.
Is there a way to turn this feature off?
I have seen references to making changes to the registry, I assume there is a switch in there somewhere, but how does one access the registry? Is there a hidden program somewhere I could start or do I have to download it?
Thanks,
Richard..
You need to download a registry editor. There are various choices out there. I use Total Commander:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
The reg edit that I have seen for preventing the soft keyboard from popping up, helps a little. But it doesn't prevent it in all situations.
As Redpoint mentioned, Total Commander is the preferred file explorer for most of us. Task Manager 3.1 is what I use for mobile registry editing. I do try to avoid doing any editing on my device, though. I rather edit on the PC side with the larger screen and less room for errors. For editing the device's registry from the PC, I use CEReg Editor 0.0.5.3.
For disabling the keyboard, you could try an app that I used to use on WM5 with my old Sable. It says it works with WM6, so give it a shot and see if you like it. It's called Nullkeyboard. All it does is add a blank SIP to your device. Select Nullkb from the SIP input button and you're good to go. Here is the link to the download.
I used Advanced Config. It gives you a nice way to select options and features and then change your registry for you. It is AWESOME for a tweaker. I'm using version 3.3.0.0 and it works great on my Tilt2 original OEM ROM.
Using this app, Under the Input category, change "Auto deply SIP" to disabled.
Okay, I downloaded the nullkeyboard and tried, it but it had no apparent effect.
I also downloaded the Task Manager 3.3 (latest version) and it works. I did a search for "keypad", but none of them appear to relate to controlling the pop-up feature.
Does anyone know what registry entry controls the soft keypad pop-up feature?
Thank you,
Richard..

Did you select the nullkeyboard from the SIP selection window that pops up when you press the right side of the soft keyboard icon?
You should NOT be searching around the registry for things to change without knowing what they are. Doing so can possibly screw up your phone and require a hard reset. You should only apply registry changes you see posted on here, and change them exactly as indicated.
The reg edit to prevent SIP for opening:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip
"TurnOffAutoDeploy" value="1"
NullKeyboard - Oh, is that how it works? Thank you for telling me. It does the job, except for the times I would like to use the keyboard for quik edits, I have to change it back to the regular keyboard first.
REGEDIT - I found the registry key: HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip
but there were no values in it for: TurnOffAutoDeploy
I added the value: "TurnOffAutoDeploy" value="1" (no quotes) with the type REG_SZ and then rebooted the phone. I also changed NullKeyboard back to regular.
This had no effect on the Auto Deploy of the keyboard.
I was hoping the RegEdit would work. The keyboard would be there, but would not pop-up until I wanted it.
If I did something wrong, or you have any other suggestions, please let me know.
Thank you,
Richard..
I think the reg type should have been a DWORD value of 1.
Great! That did it. The keypad stays out of the way and is there if I want it.
Thank you,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, cajunflavoredbob
I have one app in which the pop-up keyboard on my T-Mobile HTC HD2 drives me nuts, and several others in which I could do without it. You gave me the answer that I couldn't find in any of the other threads, and I really appreciate it.
If anyone is watching, this is another tweak that should go in a gathering of such things!!
I doesn't work with me
