So I downloaded sbp keyboard, but this part is pretty annoying. I go to send a message, I type, press send, then I have to click "ok" in the top right, then click the x, and of course it lags some. Is this normal?
Press the red button
When I do that, and then get an e-mail and click the icon, it brings me back to the message I didn't X out of.
when you're in text messaging just click start then today. then under drop down task manger x that sucka out. bingo blamo. tis way I do it anyway.

I have 6.1 flashed. I love the phone, however a few things are bothering me. I'm sure there are quick fixes for the problems.
1. Whenever I receive a message, it takes quite a bit for it to show up on my homescreen. I see the phone light up and maybe 10 seconds later the message shows.
2. When in an SMS Conversation, pressing the back button doesn't take me back to the main SMS screen. It does nothing. I have to press the home button in order to get out of the conversation.
3. After going to the homescreen from a conversation, the last message read still shows up as a new SMS on the homescreen. I have to actually go back to the conversation in order to get rid of the notification.
4. The bottom key on the JOGGR bar is too easy to press. The way I prefer to hold my phone, part of my hand is almost always near that button. Therefore, I'm constantly being taken to Messaging.
5. My Skyfire CAb repeatedly gives me the error message "installation was unsuccessful." I've tried re-downloading it numerous times.
What does the this button on the Touch Pro2?
Is this button also an okay button? I don't see any ok button on the Touch Pro2 keyboard and if it doesn't have it, I won't get the Touch Pro2. The picture is attached on my first post.
It is the "back" button

So it deletes text and moves back in opera browser? That's all? That's the dumbest hardware choice ever.
Seriously man, what does it do and WHEN DOES IT DO IT?
When it goes back, does it alt tab also?
Please be specific, I obviously know what back does but the point is that I need to know exactly how it works.
For example the zoom bar on toshiba tg01 only works in the web browser while the zoom bar on the touch pro2 works in both the browser and in images.
So please explain in detail. I need an okay button.

No TP2 for you. It's a return key.
What is does? Well, it goes back. Twice if you press it twice.

Yea. it backs up pretty much any program your in. Also, if your in a windows menu, hitting that will take you back to the previous menu, or to the home screen if you hit it enough times. hitting the 'end call' button im told also takes you directly to the home screen.
Not sure if it works for Text typing. as when your typing, you should either be using the on-screen keyboard, or the hardware keyboard, both of which have their own backspace.
It interesting that not a lot of people know this. The back key can be used as an okay key. Every time you have a window with an okay button, you can use the back key for it.
(I've actually seen a review of the TP2 that blasts it for not having an okay button)
Hmmm very interesting posts.
You see my Xperia has an okay button but it only serves as functions for pressing the ok or x on the screen.
However the okay button does not goes back between web pages and that kind of stuff or text editing.
But my Xperia has a [del/backspace] key on the keyboard and it also serves as a backspace and web page browsing button that goes to the previous page.
So are you saying that the 3rd button on the TP2 is a combination of both the [del/backspace] and the okay button?
By the way...does the Touch Pro2's back button also apply settings when it presses [ok]?

Yes it functions exactly as the ok button on screen. I've just tried it out and it saves settings etc
Here's my attempt at a definitive answer to this. The back key
does the following:
-In Opera, if any text fiels is selected (ie, address bar, search bar, text box in website) it functions as the backspace key. (This is quite silly, I think)
-In Opera, if no text fields are selected, it functions as a back button.
-In all apps, it functions as an ok and minimize button. It will save settings. Eg, if you have the calculator app opened, pressing this button will minimize it.
-In level 1 TF3D tabs, it'll return you to the Home tab. Eg, if at Weather tab, it'll bring you to Home tab.
-In the Album app, if viewing a picture, it'll bring you back out to thumbnail view.
-In all 2nd level views of TF3D, it'll bring you back to the level 1 tab where you were. Eg, if you're in the Music Library, it'll bring you out to the Music tab.
-In Calendar day view, it'll bring you back to month view.

Thanks, I will highly consider swapping this for the Xperia X1 and paying maybe 100-150 dollars that the X1 can't pay for (if I get the money of course).
I wonder if anyone knows about what the "House" button on the T-Mobile Touch Pro2 is going to do. They switched it from a Windows Symbol into a House.
hi,
since i've put the brand new latest ROM from htc.com on my htc touch pro 2... text messaging is a real issue...
the problem is:
i get a text, so i press the "text" icon in the bottom menu.
it shows the last one i allready read... so i have to move up by stroking the screen with my finger.
i get to see the new message.
when i press "reply" in the menu, i automaticly open the keyboard (it's a habbit).
first i have to wait till the screen tilted and the phone is done thinking.
then i just type and press "send".
i close the keyboard and have to wait for several seconds before the screen changes from landscape mode to portrait mode.
after waiting for a while i press the "home" button, and again i'm waiting for several seconds before i get to see my home screen.
my phone acts as if i'm trying to run windows 7 on a 386 dx4 that's over 15 years old (if you know what i mean).
it's really annoying because it takes me very long to read, type and send a message.
what i would like to change:
open with the newly recieved text message.
quicker response when i press "reply".
quicker response when i close the keyboard.
quicker close of the "message program".
no stalling at all....
any ideas?
nobody has a cleu?

Hey for quicker response when closing the message program, instead of closing the program with the "X", try using the Arrow hardware button instead. It doesnt work all the time for me, but most of the time the phone doesnt freeze as it used to when i would press "X".
Go to your messages>all messages>menu>tools.sorty by and select "received"
see if that helps. As for the lag, I don't know how many processes you are running but you may want to give "HTC Clean Ram" a shot. I run it once every couple of days and on average it clears up around 20 mbs of memory. BsB tweaks is another option since there are couple of options there to enhance performance.
Soooo I had to call tmobile warranty. My touch on the my screen no longer works. But what I find crazy is that for this to be a phone that is not just ALL touch im starting to wonder why even have a keyboard or am i just dumb? I cannot press send on a text if i want to send a message. I cannot even save a number 2 my contacts. With out the touch screen am I just SOL till my new phone comes in the mail? I can make phone calls my opening up the keyboard and using the arrow keys. But the limitations with this phone and no touch screen are ridiculous.
Just wondering am I not able to do NOTHING while my touch screen is out? If anything I want to send text messages and I cannot even do that. Any help? PLEASE ASAP THANKS! CED
so 20 people gladly view my post and out of the 20 no replies...wow
in your inbox for mms/text, press and hold H for a list of keyboard shortcuts. Press OK to get out of that list. press and hold key for desired shortcut. They are listed below:

But unfortunately, I can't figure out how to actually get the message to send once creating and typing it. Maybe you will have better luck.
Edit: actually you can use front facing buttonto get to start menu then use arrokeys and enter to navigate to (start->settings->personal->buttons), then you can set your ppt button or other button to left softkey and send that way... to get to set the button, use down arrow to get to the button you want,then right arrow once to highlight the "assign a program:" field, hit enter to expand that field, then scroll up or down with arrows to get to the <left softkey> (its at/near the top of the list), then hit enter and "OK" your way out of it. I'm assuming the version of the phone you have has the OK shortcut. You may need to soft reset afterwards, but should be good to go at that point.

The shortcuts are the same for his device, but you may have forgotten that the TMo version is unique in that it has no PTT button, no OK button (the enter key works fine to get rid of the shortcut box, however), and the Start button is actually a Home button. you could install tarkim's key remapper and set a hard key to the left soft button, but I haven't used this in a while and it may require some touch input.
Also, I use ZoomBarPlus which makes the zoombar function as a d-pad with up/down, action, and back keys. If you follow the instructions on the thread, you can omit the inbox from the default action and have ZoomBar work with it.
If these don't do it for you, then just wait it out for a couple of days. TMo sends these replacements out very quickly.
Thanks a lot !! worked like charm !!
Im from India , a place where TP2 is not released ( Can you believe that ?? ) , Hence no service for it..
So checking out some new mobiles or will wait for Q1 of 2011 ..
This might be one the n00biest questions ever posted. But where the hell is the enter button on the keyboard? I'm currently in the stock text messaging app, texting to a friend of mine & for the the life of me cannot find the damn enter button? ... Help? Lol

It's there for you in the stock text messaging app? Everywhere else (like right now as I type this from my phone) I do seen the enter button below the backspace button. But only in the stock text messaging app there is no enter button under the back space button.. only a Smiley's button that let's me put a face when I tap it, but gives me the option of choosing many emoticons when I hold it.. no enter button lol
You're right, it doesn't appear on the messaging app, you have to press the arrow shaped button next to the text field to send.
