Hello guys,
Just received my device today and I am loving it to bits. Just one question tho and I haven't seen anyone asking this question.
When you go into SMS messages tab and click on new message. When I click on the 'to:' field, a numeral keyboard on screen keyboard is forced to be used (even tho I have chose full QWERTY keyboard). Haven anyone noticed that? That is the weird part but if you look closely, there is a 'P' and a 'W' key as well. Why those keys and no other keys.
I used to be able to type in the name of the recipient, now I have to use the hardware keyboard to do so, (I would like to have the option to use a soft keyboard, although I love the hardware one).
Also, I have noticed that the Numeral Pad for typing messages have now gone. It used to be on the HD. I thought it was quite useful when if was on the HD and find it was a good way for t9 messaging with one hand.
Anyone noticed?
Anyone????
Anyone knows what the keys P and W is for when entering receipiant details? I don't mind it but I just wanted to know why P and W and not any other letters.
P: Pause (1sec Pause before sending the tones)
W: Wait (doesn't seem to work on WM - on nokia phones there was a new dialog coming up - and you could decide when you'd like to send the remainig numbers)
Sorry double post

Thanks a lot mate!
This is the first time I have seen this on a keypad. Never knew you need those keys.
But why would you need to pause before sending the tone?

sometimes u need this for using gateway services where it will ask for password/id before the phone number dialled (VOIP, teleconferance use etc)
you need the pause key; else the system will treat is as a very long number and ended up error

Cheers mate. That is really something I didn't know. Never used such systems or ever needed such a function.
You have enlightened me today!

I just bought this phone and i would be wery sad if there where no option for t9/phonekeys/keypad (onscreen of course)
Thanks...

i got wm6 black and once i open SMS up..
the soft key on the left handside is "delete" i wanted to chante to "new"
can someone tell me how to do that please?
thanks.
This is asked for in another thread as well, but not answered I'm afraid. Seems like it's hardcoded in tmail.exe, so there's no way to change it like a normal softkey or in the registry or something.
The delete button is bugging me as well...
I have been searching for this in the registry but i can't find it. I want to change this softkey to new as it used to be in WM5, as it easier to press the softkey then go through the menus while in the car.
If any of the gurus out there can help out on this one..........................
There is a work around with this, if you use the softkey changer and apply one of your soft keys in the today screen to New SMS it will take you directly to a new SMS message. I don't you will find the solution that you are looking for without alot of trial and error. This might help in the mean time.
As Video calling has been disabled in the new WM6 Roms i have used the Video calling button on the Uni as the 'new' key which does get me around but its still so annoying where i am so used to pressing this button when looking at other messages to create new messages and now when i press it it asks if i want to delete the txt.

Yes., it's annoying. But what is really amazing is the utter twat that came up with this change and the equally dumb twats that said "Good idea! Let's do it". Really.
hey mike thanks for posting that little shortcut.

Your Welome!
I agree that it's frustrating that they changed the key to delete. I personally delete very few messages, and if I do I delete a whole batch of them in one go, the new button is one which I use MUCH more than delete.
Anyway, I was wondering if you might be able to help me with another issue which I'm having. When I open a message (email or text) it jumps down to the bottom of the page. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

This is asked for like 100 times, just use the search function on this beautiful forum, and your answer will be served right at your computer monitor
it's D-pad option in Pimp i enable.

My guess is that this was a customer-driven change requested by some of the huger Windows Mobile customers.
I'm not sure what is your background, but I am a "corporate type" and I receive about 100-200 messages per day in my Activesync inbox. I usually reply to messages rather than writing new ones.
I use the Delete key MUCH more frequently than the New key so this is a welcome change for me. Most messages are FYIs or system notification messages, or long threads (and I can read just the last message in the thread and then toss all earlier messages).
Have you changed the size of your scroll bars? if so change them back to default (13) i think.

Here's another preformatted shortcut. I found the one attached by Mike in post #6 just opened my Inbox. It was easily modified using the link he provided, but for the lazy ones among us! This one opens a new (blank) SMS, tested on my Exec running Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE.
Unzip the file, and copy it to wherever you want on your device.

This only start the messaging application and go into the SMS view.
It doesn't start a new SMS ; at least not with my Schap's ROM with SMS/MMS combined.
EDIT: Works with the new .lnk file ; Thanks !
Thank you Mike the link to the Modaco site was the solution I was looking for. I created that sms.lnk shortcut and then assigned it as a softbutton on my today screen, now with one click I have a blank SMS ready for sending. Works like a charm.
Hi all.
When i spellcheck my emails, the spellchecker takes-up so much of the screen that i can't see the word that is supposedly spelled incorrectly. What that means is; I can't see what word I'm about to replaced with one of the proposed spellings.
Does anyone know how to make it so that the spellchecker allows me to see both my originally spelling as well as the list of proposed correct spellings?
Sorry if this is unclear. I'm happy to try rephrasing if need be?
Thanks
-jm
Does no one else have this problem? If I'm just missing something obvious, please tell me.
I use my TP2 for business email (as i'm sure most of us do) and I really can't afford to send messages without spellchecking. Given the issue i'm having, running spellcheck is extremely painful.
thx.

Yup, I have this problem too, noticed it last night.. together with the TAB key being missing off the keyboard... and the two locations required to switch in Delivery reports...
As for a solution, I don't know of one except getting rid of the touch flow... which im tempted to do - as once you get past the pretty'ness its "pretty" useless!
Alternate solution :
* To have both "Touch Flo 3D" and "the standard Windows Mobile menus"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu]
"CUIHandler"=dword:00000000
With the standard menus you see the text while spell checking, and you still keep touch flo (which I do find helps when using the TP2 as a one hand phone).
Harvey
HarveyR, *thank you* for replying with that suggestion. I'm going to try that tonight and report back.
Harvey,
That worked like a dream... thanks so much!!
At the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth; can you tell me if there's any way to resize the font on the "menu" now?
What i means is, when composing a new message, if i click the "menu" button, the font is HUGE which means i have to scroll vertically to see all the options on that menu. Do you know if that font can be set to something smaller? If so, how do i do that?
thanks again Harvey.

So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.
click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

That's a great tip! I never realized that! You should put that in the wiki!

Thanks to both vigohz and MCBrian!
You can also press and hold the message in the list you wish to do something with and you will get the same list of actions as if you tapped on the small letter.

You seem to be lost...you have a Kaiser, not a Rhodium.
You should be posting in one of the Kaiser sub-forums.

Wow, I did not know either of these two tips, I had been opening the onscreen keypad and using the arrow keys to move down to the message. Thanks to both of you!
When I type a SMS message and hit the E key on the slide out keyboard, the email app opens, so I can't use the letter E. Anyone know what's happened and how to fix it?
... Of COURSE it'd fix itself as soon as I ask for help. Inevitable really. Still worth knowing how to fix it in case it happens again, so I'll leave this up.
I had the same problem as you, it is caused by the Application Shortcuts which I never used and only disturbed me while typing.
(On Gingerbread)
Go to settings, then to Applications and then to "shortcuts" or something like that(I have another system language) and then long touch on every button that has a shortcut linked to it.
That solved it for me, if you are using ICS the steps should be more or less the same.

hello everybody
i had a looooong e-mail battle with Sony support team to include option "disable autocapitalisation" for keyboard settings
can anybody confirm or deny the presence of this checkbox in settings for lollipop? because that is basically the one and only reason for me to upgrade and i'm not sure whether i'm should go with it
thanks in advance
cheers
i don't know what exactly are you asking, but i'll try.
In the keyboard, while typing, the first letter is capital. You can tap the capitalisation arrow to make even the first letter small, but you have to do this every time you want the first letter to be in small letters.
hope this helps.

i never experienced a problem with clarity of my speech, but anyway
BEHOLD!
exibit A: some unknown Samsung phone of my coworker
i67 tinypic com/2el6m12.jpg
exibit B: my C6502
i66 tinypic com/k03q14.jpg
(replace spaces with dots)
so, my question: does SONY included this option in the new android version or not
i can install third-party keyboard, like, google's. and the google keyboard do have the "autocapitalization" option. but i really like the appearance and layout of Sony's keyboard, so, i want them to change
if you have a ZL and update it for Android 5.x.x - just go to the keyboard settings. if you see the checkbox for autocorrection - tell me. if you don't see it - tell me anyway, hehe
thank you in advance once again!
forgive me my friend for not understanding the first time.
I have updated my Xperia to 5.1.1
as I told you earlier, the keyboard DOES auto capitalise the first letter.(you can change this behaviour on the fly with the Upward arrow below the letter "a" as shown in the screenshots.)
here are these screenshots you requested. see for yourself. if you want any help, I will surely help you
OK, auto-capitalization is still turned on by defaut and still unswitchable
guess, i'll stick with KitKat for now
thanks
