HTC S620 (Excalibur) and T9...

Does anybody know a way to install T9 or the newer version from the Dash on the S620? I really like the word-completion feature of my other smartphones and PPC's.
Thanks!
we'll probably have to wait until someone extracts the extrom of the dash rom
Careful what you wish for
why did you buy the S620 if it is to put T9 on it?
The only benefit of this smartphone is the full qwerty keyboard, it sounds a bit strange to want to restrict yourself to the numeric pad to type your messages?
It's actually the newer xT9, you're not restriced to the numeric keys -- it predicts as you're typing words with the qwerty keyboard. Future versions might be more useful, but I find it more of a hinderance now. There's no way to configure it or edit the dictionary, it kicks in when you don't necessarily want it to and memorizes passwords, as well as showing them while you're entering them. Where ever the dictionary resides, mine is full of typos and passwords. Would be nice if you could uninstall or just shut it off. You can press ALT then SPACE and switch to just letter entry, but at some point it'll come back...

I understand that T9 is directed more towards standard phone keyboards, but I use it on my Hermes all the time. When typing a long email, the word completion can save time.
T9 dictionary edit
I am super annoyed by wrong words being added to the T9 dictionary!
I tried using the msT9Ed.exe, but it seems to not find the correct file.
I did find a file called "eT9Cdb.cdb" in the Windows folder, but don't know if this is the right thing to edit.
Anyone found something lately to edit the T9 dictionary?
newer xT9

No it doesn't but was worth a try, not that fussed to be honest.
I am having exactly the same problem, texting with the multi-tap system is really annoying. Is there any way to have Qwerty back? My tab key is not working so the pop-up menu that's supposed to appear when pressing SPACE+TAB is not working for me. Thanks in advance, I am new to this and I've done a lot of research, your forum is the best!

i have a excalibur S621 that originay come with windows ce without mobile office, but the htc have other same S621 with windows mobile 6.5 with office, and becouse of that i upgraded my phone with the windows mobile 6.1. But, with the new version comes with T9 keyboard driver and my keyboard (qwerty) become to be confuse, like the phones that dont have an keyboard like my phone.
Thank you guys, this site is very good for all the people that are ingressing in the smartphone world!!

Dash sms keyboard effed?

ok so used the WM 6.1 rom on the site that kavana released and everything works flawlessly except for on thing, when im in messanging the key board layout is weird. When i type i must click the number keys over and over until i get the letter i want which becomes quite annoying when you have a phone like the dash/Excalibur that has a full key board.

XT9 Bugg !!!

hi guys
i have found a strange bugb on my tp2
the options of the XT9 is working on the keyboard input but not on the touch keyboard !!!
for the touch keyboard, all the options are On all the time ( spell correction and world completetion) even when u chose to uncheck them !!! but when u chose that they stop on the hardware keyboard
any ideas how to fix that bugg?
also the spelling correction is not working

I think I speak for everyone when I say this: What?
Could you try explaining your problem again please? Concrete examples or screenshots would definitely help.
I think it's behaviour by design.
When you are typing on the keyboard, you don't want to take your hand off to tap on the screen to choose the words - it's much slower, and there is no spell correction, really, that's just word completion doing its job.
On the keyboard, it's speed typing all the way.

So simply, in the Xt9 setting there is 4 properties u can check them (v) or uncheck them
1- spell correction
2-World completion in xt9 mode
3-world completion in ABC mode
4- Auto-Substitution
i don't want the Auto substitute so i didn't check it
now when i use the keyboard with the xt9 every thing as it should
but when i the touch Full Qwerty its as if i didnt unckeck the Auto-Sub
its still working !!! furthermore if i tried to test it and even unckecked the world completion ..its still work in the touch Full Qwerty !! as if its not responding to what ever i chose while the actual hardwear keyboard follow whatever option in the xt9 i chose

So u mean i cant stop the Auto-substitue while taping the sms using
the XT9?
ok any way I have another problem and since the seniors r here i hope u can help me with it ..casue its more imp for me that the Xt9
its the TF sms
when i receive sms and i tap it in the TF to reply
it bring me the thread mode in TF mode also
in that screen there is menu from it u can message option
inside it is a request for delivery report
if u check it (v) its not permanent !!
if u go out and back again to that window u will find it unchecked
so to have delivery report using the TF thread mode i must check that every time i reply sms ??????
sure when i reply using the windows interface the delivery report comes normaly ( i stoped threading sms in windows using the Advanced Config)
is there a solution for that ?
some times even when i check it to have a delivery report it say sms can not be sent !!!!

There is no auto-substitute, at least not like on the iPhone. There is word suggestion function and before you finish typing the word (say, with typo error), you can tap on the suggested word to enter it, but if you finish typing the typo and you press [space], it does not replace typo with the correct word.

but my friend, when i press space it dose replace the typo with the 2nd word he is suggesting
which allot of time i do want the typo
(thats why i wanted to uncheck the Auto-correction)
ok here is another thing i found when i disabled the TF
in the contact list using the TF, when u select a name and then go back to the contact list ..it bring u from the start of the list
while in the normal contact list without the TF, as in my old tytn when u go back from editing a name or even checking its data to the contact list
u go back to that name in the list , not to the top of the list
also the fact that i can't change the soft key in the TF , and the fixed icons in the start list which can't even moved to a lower position all those r another silly things i find in the TF
i wish there is a solution for that beautiful interface buggs
no one can help yet ?

[Q] - Can't write with S-Pen

Hi there, I maby got a little noobish Question for you, but I can't write with the S-Pen.
I can write with it on images, and on s-note and stuff like that, but I can't write facebook status, sms or other
places where u can use keyboard or s-pen. Hope someone can help!
In the samsung keyboard, press the button to the left of the spacebar and enter T mode. From there you can write with your s-pen.

Thats the problem, I have no T mode, think I have turned it off somehow!
Have you tried changing the language option under keyboard settings? I had to change S-voice language to English UK from English US, to get S-pen working on S-voice.

I was having the exact same issue with write input (not just for S-Voice).
Still don't know how it magically changed to English US while watching youtube video's but it did for some reason.
I imagine this is a Samsung bug as I don't see any reason why this should not work for a US keyboard.
I've disabled/removed all the English US keyboards where possible so this won't happen again until it gets fixed with a software update.
Thanks shadow_007 for finding this fix :good:
