Hi guys,
Bit of an annoying one this that I hope one of you extremely clever registry devs can tweak for me.
When writing emails / text messages i always use the physical keyboard, however I like the XT9 setting as it automatically spell checks and inserts capitals / punctuation etc.
The problem is i can easily set it to XT9 in the settings or by opening the software keyboard and pressing the ABC / XT9 button
or
by using the green function key, space (XT9), XT9 English
but as soon as I've completed my message or turned off the handset etc. it's forgotten, meaning I have to do this manually each time.
Is there any way to set default as XT9 in registry?
Kind Regards
Darren
Anybody got any ideas here? Driving me mad doing it manually every time.
I've just got my new TouchPro2 and I'm suffering from exactly the same problem. I love the new phone but this is the one thing that's driving me nuts!
I used to have it in my TPro and now it's gone missing in the TP2
I know, well you can still use it but many keypresses per use.
Slightly annoying.
I find this highly annoying too. I don't see why it can't be in XT9 as standard or at least just remember the last setting used!?
It's working!!! I've just found out that if you activate T9 in the Full QWERTY virtual keyboard, you'll get it work using the hardware keyboard.
did you not even read the original post?
of course it works like that, however only for that session. as soon as you're done and try and send another text or email etc you'll have to press those buttons again to activate it.
I don't have any problem typing using T9 messages after another using the hardware keyboard...
Even after I soft reset it, it's still working
haha brilliant, worked it out.
Here's the fix...i think.
Open new message in portrait, open software keyboard, click XT9 and then OK to close the window.
Rotate handset and do the same, open software keyboard, select XT9 and quit using "OK".
After this it should default to XT9.
You need to use the OK to close though and save the setting. If you send or cancel your settings will be forgotten.
This will save for all portrait and landscape modes. You'll need to do it for each area but i can agree that i have it saved in texts and emails now.
No more having to repeat actions over and over again.
Edit: seems to only save sometimes, also totally unable to save the XT9 setting in Touchflo conversation mode with text messaging.
bump...
I really enjoy using the functionality of xt9. And subsequently would greatly appreciate it having it available while using the hardware keyboard. any thoughts of having this available by default without having to set it to XT9 each time i open the keyboard
There has to be a registry setting somewhere...

It does "per session" but it does not stick on program close/reset.
boooooooooooooooooooo....man i hope someone can figure this out
Has anyone figured this out? It's really annoying that I have to enable XT9 with several different keystrokes at the beginning of any txt msg...
(Using the 9/14 NRG 2.1 STD ROM.)
HD/WVGA Tweak
On some customer ROM's I have seen a program called WVGA or HD Tweak. I searched and found CAB file for this as well. In this software, there is an option to turn on X9 all the time. You can also set how many suggested words to pop up. It reminds me of how the WING would operate when it suggested words!
Wow, thread starter, you read my mind. I've been looking for something like this since the day I got my phone.

This turns on Windows Default X9, which makes phone SIP & compact qwerty SIP inoperable (only outputs numbers). So, this in no way is a fix.
And, the cab you're referring to is EZInput 1.5 specific, has 0 affect on EZInput 2.x.

same thing happened to me when I tried to use it. Turns the phone SIP inoperable.
no solution for this issue yet? (aka, bump!)
I did a tweak to add a drop down box which suggests words as im typing and for some reason i no longer have letters on the full qwerty keyboard...can someone help me with this
uh. undo your tweak. or at least mention what you did.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3452853&postcount=18
this is the tweak i did
Same has happened to me after doing this tweak. Reversing it and reseting made no difference. The keyboard now has all the number plus the letters p and w only.
This is very odd!
I am having this issue also it might be S2U2 or the slider CAB I installed those are the last major updates I installed. I am thinking about just doing a hard reset and reinstalling everything one by one but I am procrastinating or just being outright lazy. I will let you know though if I find the answer.
I re-edited the registry back to et9 instead of XT9 which restores the keyboard.
I then set it back to COMP and everything is OK again.
Hi All,
Searched high and low but can't find the answer and I'm a complete newb.
I have two small problems with my unlcoked AT&T HTC Tilt 2
1. After trying numerous radios 'my location' still does not update in the weather feature (currently using vers 4.48.25.20), just hangs then with USB I get 'connection error' message
2.Time stamps on SMS and MMS are way out of whack with when messages were actually sent or recieved.
Useing NRGZ8's ROM version 21.FEB.2010 WWE. I'm in AUST
Any help appreciated
Steve
1. Why are you getting a usb error when using weather?
2. Are your time zone and dst settings correct in settings-clocks and alarms?
If so then try this reg edit:
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\
set the value for TrustTimeZoneField to 0 (decimal)
If that key isn't there, then go ahead and create it and soft reset.

Thanks fone_fanatic,
1.No idea why I'm getting a 'connection error' when the USB is connected and I try to update location or even if/how it's related. I've since tried another Radio (4.49.25.05) and found in another thread that I need to have wifi enabled even if not connected...that seems to work..for now.
2. All settings are correct, looked at reg edit and seems that I need to create Trust time zone bit as you suggest...beyond me at the moment so I'll read more on reg edits.
thanks for your help
oh so you had the device plugged in via USB and were trying to update weather/location while its plugged in.
Yeah, activesync/device center will kill your data connection when connected to the device unless you change the settings.
as for reg edits. They're quite easy, not too much harm can be done, unless your just browsing through the registry and changing/deleting values that you don't know what they do.
Don't let it intimidate you.
a popular free registy editor is PHM registy Editor or Total Commander (which is also a powerful file explorer)
Whichever reg editor you use, simply browse to the folder (folders in the registry are called keys)
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\"
then create a new "Dword Value" and name it "TrustTimeZoneField" and give it a value of 0
exit it out, Soft Reset (generally a good idea to soft reset after editing the registry) and you should be golden.
Also there is a cab floating around, just can't find it at the moment, that adds the value for you, search for Message Time stamp and it you might find it.
best of luck
regedit worked for me, also try searching for "text message driving me crazy" it has the cab file i believe.
Hi, I have got a UK Touch Pro 2 branded Vodafone but it has the latest standard HTC WM 6.5 ROM installed (after Hard SPL).
I have installed TomTom and fixed the BTTrayCE error that created and also patched the clock which annoyingly wants to always show a time 1 hour and 2 mins behind, before flipping down like a 70s alarm clock to the correct time. I’m sure the programmer thought this was fantastic, but it’s just annoying and pointless! (/rant).
My problem is that I can’t find the spell checker. On my older XDA phones and my Touch Pro 1, in text messaging after typing a message, I just did Menu --> Spell check. It even allowed me to add words which it stored in the custom.dic file which I have been carrying from device to device as I upgraded phones.
However, even using the ‘proper’ text messing in Messages-->All Messages --> new message, when I click on the menu button all I get is “Add Recipient, Insert >, Quick Text, Save as Draft and Discard”. There is no spell check option!
The Vodaphone ROM which was slow and full of bloatware and incorrect settings for my network did have a spell check under menu – as did all the previous versions of WM.
I have tried enabling the XT9 feature and it does the XT9 thing of suggesting words and selecting them when you press space. This is quite rubbish for two reasons, it doesn’t auto correct i to I and you have to watch each word carefully, because if you type “hell” it might autocorrect it to “he’ll” depending on what you last chose. This results in having to go back and change about 5 - 10% of words, which is really annoying.
I have fiddled with the XT9 settings under Start/settings/all settings/personal/input/options and the only selectable input method is “Touch Input” although the hardware keyboard works and the options don’t seem to make much of a difference.
I have been searching for 4 hours now and hope that you might be able to help, please!!
Does anyone have a similar problem? Does anyone know if the standard HTC ROM should have a spell checker or not?
Is there a way i can set the HTC keyboard to be default for entering web addresses into the browser but set swype to be the keyboard for everything else?
Nope. You have to switch manually each time by holding on the text field then selecting Input Method.
yeah thats what ive been doing, its just tedious so i thought id ask lol
