Simply change these two registry keys under:

Ime File : \windows\xt9ime.dll change to Ime File :\windows\compime.dll
and
Layout Text : XT9 IME change to Layout Text : COMP IME
And soft reset.

Keypad issues

I am sure this has been covered somewhere before but I was unable to locate the thread.
I just flashed Pro Black 3.0.1, wonderful rom by the way, and I have found the symbols on the keypad are confused. Is there a fix for this? I still haven't found my question mark.....
Thank you
Steel
Flames for my ignorance are welcome if they point in the right direction...
This is a known bug with the Cingular 8525.
You need to change the keyboard layout in registry: Go to registry editor program and find the key LOCAL MACHINE--->Software---->OEM--->Qwetry. Over there change the keybaord layout key to 40409 (hex value radio button should be selected). Then reboot the phone (turn it off and on) - and you all set.
Or if you have program HTC Custom: go to start>programs>system> htc custom> keyboard> put cingular.
Thank you, that is what I needed.

Word auto complete not working

Hey everyone,
I cant seem to work out how to get auto complete to work when using the hardware keyboard.
It worked on my TYTN II and i really liked the feature as i am entering service log numbers and i dont have to look at my book each time to see what the next number is.
Any ideas how to get this going>
I have set in advanced config for word suggestion to 4 (it was on 0) and in input options > options > xt9 settings > i ticked word completion in abc mode (for phone keypad only) and its not coming up.
I have soft reset the phone as well.
Have tried searching but havnt found much.
Cheers

This is my first post, so please forgive me if the answer has already been provided somewhere else.
I have a TP2 purchased in Hong Kong that has the Chinese Fonts built into the ROM. The ROM version is 1.19.721.1 (51489) WWE.
I have checked in the registry and there is no HKLM\Software\Tegic entry.
The other keys are
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409
Ime File :\windows\compime.dll
and
Layout Text : COMP IME
Word completion using the onscreen keyboard and/or hardware keyboard does not work.
There is no normal keyboard available for selection, only the Touch Input
Could anyone advise how to fix this?
Thanks in advance, Gary
this should do it

Just wondering if anyone has faced the qwerty keyboard changed to a funny number key pad that has only 2 alphabet p and w in it? I am wondering if it is because of this tweak that is causing it. It will change without new software installation after a few days of usage. It has happened to me in 3-4 occasions already.
Only way to overcome it is for me to restore to previous backup. After a few days, same thing would happen and again I have to restore. So frustrating!

Yea it happens to me to!
Changing the reg keys back fixes it but then i loose auto complete... stupid bloody HTC, why couldnt they just make it all work!!!
I seem to get the proper keyboard in my text messages though, and everywhere else the numbers :S
Hmm.... seems that this tweak is causing the keyboard problem then?
I really dont want to lose the auto-complete feature.
i wish one of the smarter members of the community could work it out!
Same problem here! And it's very frustrating to be trying to type words and have numbers appear... please help! I did the registry edit and am having number appear when I press letters on the keyboard......

Normally, all you have to do to enable the word completion on the hardware keyboard is to pop up the SIP keyboard and tick the box at the left of the keyboard from "ABC" to "XT9," then simply slide out the hardware keyboard. It works for me every time.

Touch Input problem

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,

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.

Get numbers in the top of the keyboard for TILT 2

If you have a AT&T tilt 2 and want to have numbers on the top as in some previous htc devices, do the following changes:
Be sure that:
HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0
Change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e0010409
•Ime File: \windows\et9ime.dll --> Ime File: \windows\compime.dll
•Layout Text : ET9 IME --> Layout Text : COMP IME
Soft reset and you're done!
but you lose the features of hardware keyboard symbols, unless you can have it memorized.
A better method would just replace the keyboard with an original Touch Pro 2 like what many have done with the original TP, except this hardware change isn't every easy on the TP2.
I would love to change the tilt 2 keyboard to the regular tp2 keyboard with the numbers accross the top, but i cant see paying what the keyboard cost at this time. eventualy i will do it to all the tilt 2's in the house

True, this hint is for those who do remember where the symbols are assigned. Alternatively, symbols can be accessed using FN mode.
It's so stupid on AT&T's part to change the layout of the keyboard on the Tilt2, honestly who uses the number pad on the keyboard to dial phone numbers.
Can anyone tell me where to find the replacement keyboard for TP2?

[SOLVED] How to turn on Word Completion for Full QWERTY keyboard

Hi guys!
I'm trying to turn on Word Completion for the full QWERTY keyboard, but I cannot find how to. I know that you can toggle Word Completion through Personal => Input => Options, but only for XT9 and the Compact QWERTY. I would like to enable it for the full QWERTY.
Does anybody know how?
Thanks for any help in advance!
Kind regards,
Piet
I'd very much like to know how to do that as well. Tried in the past, but it didn't seem possible via the standard settings.
I found the answer myself!
I found the answer myself! The trick is to change 2 registry keys.
Change these two registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Layouts\e0010409
- Change the value of Ime File from \windows\eT9ime.dll to \windows\compime.dll
- Change the value of Layout Text from ET9 IME to COMP IME
Perform a soft reset and you wil now see that word completion works in the default language of your device.
You could replace the dictionary used (\Windows\Mssp2.lex) by one of your preferred language to change this.
For the Dutch users I have attached a CAB file which does this all for you. This is for WWE devices and you end up with Dutch Word Completion only.
Kind regards,
Piet
On my device I can turn it on whenever I want by bringing up the on-screen keyboard then hiding it. It is only temporary, and works until I close the keyboard and go back to portrait.
The problem with the reg edits is that eventually your keyboard will get stuck. The way to do it without messing anything up is through HDTweak. Not HD2Tweak. There is a difference. Once installed scroll down and turn xt9 off. Then the very next option will be T9. This is what you enable. Dont forget to soft reset. You will have auto correct and word completion perfectly after that without any problems.

The funny thing is that HDTweaks does the exact same thing as my cab does.
I used SKTrack to monitor the changes made by HDTweak and it changes the exact same registry keys to the exact same values I suggested...
