Easy fix for TomTom and Citrix keyboard issues - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I found this fix for Citrix where the keyboard wasn't working (transmitting letters/numbers) which also fixed the TomTom issue I was having with my version 7.450 where I would get that accented a after each letter.

\HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Preload\1
changed string "Default" from "e0010409" to "00000409"
If you change this registry setting for the keyboard it fixes both issues and so far no side effects anywhere else.

No good.
Disabled my keyboard completely, as well as all buttons. Ouch. Using a Telus TP2.

I'm using Verizon TP2, wouldn't think it would matter, but I guess it does.

Yeah, it's a bit strange.
Glad it fixed your issue however. I'll keep looking.
Cheers!

I'll give it a try, couldn't get the New TOM TOM .EXE and dat.chk files 7.916.9189 released specifically for the TP2 to work, couldn't register my maps after replacing files, of course mine is bootleg using easy tools, the offical patch seems to work well for people with legit copies.
So let me try this, otherwise, u really don't need the keypad for tomtom, so no biggie

Broke mine too, just not until a reboot. I had made the change then used Citrix and TomTom and they both worked, then after I did my first soft-reset my keyboard stopped working. This sucks.

Delay in choosing text input

I've got the o2 version of the Artemis, had it for a few weeks now and very happy with it. The only problem I've found is that when the device is restarted it sets the default text input as the on screen keyboard and not Transcriber (which I prefer) Is there any way I can set the default method as Transcriber from start-up?
I would happily choose the transcriber each time but clicking the keyboard icon to choose the input from the menu causes a delay of 20-30 seconds for some reason. Does anyone know why this is?
because the OMAP sucks.
I'm not talkin about slight processor lag here tho, TomTom 6 and everything else runs fine with minimal slow downs. And once the menu has been displayed I'd expect it to be quicker the second or third time which it isn't. Could anyone else running the standard o2 build confirm if their's has any delays? As I suspect its a software issue rather than hardware.
I have the same trouble, although not to the extent that you have. I have the T9 input cab, and the text message input dfaults to the keyboard which I find useless as I can't use my finger to do it. I click on the select input icon and it can take 5-6 seconds before it opens.
bit annoying but I get used to it.
I don't have that delay - I use HappyTapping, and T9 input.
Search for a program called AC IMSelecter on here or on google. It lets you overide default keyboard choice, and has helped solve some problems I've had with non-standard keyboards displaying incorrectly.
I think I found it bundled in a HappyTapping keyboard zip.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289370&highlight=SIP+select
I've just installed the SIP Select program as I couldn't find the one you mentioned Squire. Have got to soft reset to see if it works but need to copy the shortcut into my startup folder first. Cheers for the help guys.
EDIT: SIP Select works a treat, cheers for the link to the file.
Those with the problems - have you installed the Microsoft Voice Commander? This is suspected of causing a massive SIP menu delay.
I've got a solution to improve the speed in switching SIP. Just try to export the registry of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT_CLSID and import it again. And after that you'll feel much better when you switch SIP.
Don't ask me the reason, because I've no idea at all...
I did have it installed but quickly realised I hardly use it so uninstalled it. Perhaps its left some unwanted registry entries? Does anyone know of a program that can remove unnecessary registry entries for WM5?
EDIT: Talking to Leyton about MS Voice Commander btw
Can someone solve this situation - what is needed:
Hard reset.
Take an image using SKTracker
Install MS Voice Command
Uninstall MS Voice Command
Take an image with SKTracker
Compare the images
Whatever is left over will be the problem causing the slow SIP.
Anyone who does this - please post your results!!
(I would but can't afford a hard reset at the moment)

If you have the time, download the WM5 emulator stand-alone for PC, install it there and do all your testings.

TOMTOM does not need speedy processor, but when you change sip, yes, the speed of processor counts. So just be patient, 5-10 seconds will be ok for you.

Has anyone tried this. Did it work?? I'm fairly new to the Ordbit/XDA and am not sure how I got about this.
Also, anyone experiencing this problem got any ideas?
If someone has the time and can identify the changed registry key(s) that is left behind using the steps above this can be solved for everyone.
@ markquinton,
I use SKTools/Inputmetodes.....I set tht letterrecognicer as default, deactiveted all other inputmetodes, so I havn´t any problems, ´cause I want to have just 1 inputmetode.
this way works perfect for me.

That's fair enough, I use SIPselect to default the block recogniser, but the issue remains that if I want to swap between Block recogniser and T9 pad it'll take ages.

Windows Mobile 6 (Black 3.1) and Orangeworld

Hi,
Just upgraded my rom, and for some reason, when i go the the orangeworld site in pie, it only displays a text version. No graphics or anything.
Any ideas?
all these fantastic genius's here, and no ideas?
I have noticed this too, and it must be something to do with what PIE reports itself as for User Agent.
The sites work fine with Opera, but cant see if that reports as Mozilla for whatever.
We need someone with WM5 to look....

I use PIE+ and tried all the user agents, but no change. Also noticed gprs/3g connection is real unstable! I'm in london, so definately a good coverage!
Erm....?
Any ideas?
What is the URL? Assume you have "show pictures" set etc ? I have black 3.1 on T mobile (well, virgin) and connection seems stable. This is on a m3100
Yeah I noticed this before too... I've only installed Black up to 3.0, so it the problem existed in at least version, maybe earlier.
http://wap.orange.co.uk for orange world. WEorks in opera fine. in PIE every other site i look at displays correctly, only orange so far is appearing as plain text.
As for the connection, i'm using the latest radio upgrade. to be honest, the connection was pants when i had the standard os installed, but then upgraded the radio, which improved it. But now i upgraded the os, the connection is worse than ever.
Also, Skype refuses to log in!
I'm pretty much ready to the sell piece of $h1t on ebay and get something else!!
So nobody able to help me?????
I don't use Orangeworld. Sorry. Have not had this issue. What apn are you using, the orangewap one or the orangeinternet one?

I dont think its down to that in any case, coz it works fine with Opera.
yeah I know, just grasping at straws. I seem to remember that some of the orange sites only worked via the orangewap apn. never use them so dunno really.
Hi, sorry am unable to help as I have same on orangeworld, but would just recommend that before you sell, you try reverting the radio version to 1.38.0.10 or .01.
Makes it a whole different phone, no dropped signals, better battery.

Yeah, no problems - orangeworld works fine in PIE for me WITH graphics (after I fixed it of course!!)
First I would recommend the latest Orange Radio ROM which is 1.38.00.01 - works best for Orange UK (this is not necessary for my fix to work though.)
See my cab file which installs the Orange UK MMS and internet settings as well as fixing the voicemail icon issue and the orangeworld graphics issue
If anyone needs it, I suppose I could create a cab file containing just the fix for orangeworld on PIE
Ok, here is the cab to just fix the Orangeworld site on Orange UK - it also fixes the voicemail icon since this is kinda essential
This should work on all WM6 ROMs on Orange UK
ps. you DO NOT need this file if you are using the cab file in the post above
Thanks alot Rabdo!!! I'll try the radio downgrade when i get home!!! Orange now works a treat!!!
Thanks!!
Just a quick question. What was the problem? It almost looked like it didn't pick up the css or something, but the strange thing was the fact every other site i looked at was fine. Would be nice to know exactly what was up with it.
rabdo! my wife can have your babies if you like!
radio fix and settings cab have sorted me right out!
keep getting the "H" symbol. did a quick test and was close to 500kbs! not sure how reliable that is, but just browsing now is a dream, and no connection dropped!
thanks a lot!

I installed the diamond keyboard and it screwed up my autocomplete for the To field of a sms. Checked all the settings and everything and nothing, removed it and all is fine. I still like the HTC phone pad better.

It's almost the exact opposite for me. When I use the "To:" field in a new SMS, I just type the first couple of letters of the persons name into the field and hit enter, and the keyboard offers up the names that match that in the auto-complete field. Working fantastic on my Hermes.
So who actually has this working on the hermes?
I would like to have a keyboard that thumb friendly..

It works fine on my Hermes, but scratch what I said above. It has totally disabled contact auto-complete from the hardware keyboard. In addition, I've tried to uninstall it three times and it just hangs at the screen where it's doing the uninstallation, with the spinning Windows thing, forever until I soft reset the phone. I'm thinking I may have to do a hard reset to get this thing off my phone.
Has anyone had trouble uninstalling this from their phone?
I have it working- I like it a lot actually. I used to like the old HTC phone pad, and this is like that but a little more polished. The word prediction works well.
Don't know If i'm going to stick with it- want to see how it eats memory, etc.
I had it working too, I like it except that auto complete bs. It took awhile, but it did uninstall. Here is the htc phone pad for anyone that needs it.
Okay, you're right, it did uninstall. I probably could have taken a nap in the time it took to do it, but it finally did. I'm back to the old trusty phone pad as well.
Tried it too, didn't like it much though...
Tried to uninstall, took ages, and never uninstalled after all...
The keyboard is still there, working fine. But the option to uninstall it is now gone. I would really like to get rid of it, so if there are any one who's got any bright ideas I'm open to suggestions... (I did soft-reset the device after the "uninstall")
Can't get alphabets from the keyboard. Just the digits and no way to get it. If any one knows about the settings it requires the please update. I have uninstalled it successfully.

Problems with TomTom7 on Touch Pro 2

Hi, I see some threads that suggest TomTom 7 can be installed on a Touch Pro 2. I bought TomTom 7 on micro SD and it won't run. I get a message "Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!" Is there something simple that I am missing that is causing this. TomTom support were no help.
Offtopic: Why not ask your question in one of the threads you have found
Ontopic: Officially the TP2 is not supported at this moment. It will work, just ask Google
Hi PGLion.
I started a new thread because none of the other threads were actually about TomTom7 on the TP2, they just gave me hope!
On the ask Google suggestion, I may be a bit slow, but I have not found anything that helps me. If you have a link that you think will help, I'd be very grateful if you could post it.

Has anyone got TT7 working on TP2 yet? I've checked on google can't find a copy
Thanks.

yes,
try >"7.910" "(9196)"< as search terms in google.
before installing that version you should also chek the reports of other users stating that after installation bluetooth stopped working.
You want "ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab"
Works fine.
In fact a quick google takes us to this very site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482075
Bluetooth still working fine for me.
Yes, TomTom7 DOES work on TouchPro2. I use it almost daily. It's very nice.
But it DOES cripple bluetooth (at least the build that I'm using). It replaces a couple of bluetooth drivers in your Windows directory that are incompatable (or so it appears).
If anyone's having issues with this, PM me. I'll find the thread (I think it was at PPCGeeks) that has instructions re: fixing it.

i too can confirm that TT7 works on TP2, might be best you use a software called cabinstl to install the cab file to your required location
The biggest problem I'm having is some serious GPS lag on my Verizon Touch Pro2 running TomTom (I've tried v6 and v7).
TOMTOM 7 install issues on Tilt 2
Has anyone had problems with the install going automatically to the device and not having enough memory to run?
Mine works, but I have a few issues. The physical keyboard doesn't work correctly (when I type, I get multiple non-english characters entered, but the on-screen keyboard is fine). The keyboard on my previous Tilt (original) worked fine with TT6. It also appears that there's no GPS: it shows reception of 0 satellites, yet it works fine. Seems way to accurate to be getting position from cell phone triangulation. Also, I'm using the "black VGA" map, but there appears to be an issue with POIs. Gas stations were shown on screen in completely undeveloped areas. Fortunately, I wasn't looking for gas.
TT7 (V7.915) working OK on my stock UK Vodafone (WM6.1) TP2 with no major lag or loss of any other features. Gets a lock fairly quickly (10-30 seconds).
Custom POIs are accurate and as expected.
Satellite reporting is behaving itself.
Hardware keyboard: Worked fine first go, then started printing double/foreign characters (eg: A gave A+A(Umlaut)), then back to OK after I went into soft keyboard settings and re-selected English. Exited TT, came back in and hardware keyboard seems OK still.
The only major issue I have is that TT sometimes crashes while loading ("We're sorry..." Windows error screen) and I have to turn the phone off/on to get TT going again.

What is the fix for?
What problem is this patch supposed to address? Slow/intermittent GPS lock, Lag, or some other problem?
As far as I can see it is simply an animated GIF set to display during boot and changing some registry entries relating to the GPS intermediate driver and increasing the file system cache.

yes tom,
the reason i added the gps is that the stupid microsoft visual studio wont allow to build cab files with out a file in it.
it indeed adjust a couple of registry settings but if you do it in the way it is writen above you get a gps fix,
It is for the
lag problem, getting no gps signal in any way.
i even get gps in house now

if yours works out of the box, don't patch it.
mine is Tmo TP2 and get almost instant sat lock, so I am not going to patch mine for now.
That's the radio version I have. What does the cab file do? Does it automatically change the registry settings for the GPS Intermediate driver? If so, I have made those changes and I still get GPS lag.
gps lag
i work at a auto repair shop and on occasion i get the oppurtunity to drive a customers car that has a dedicated gps. what i have noticed is that the lag time with those dedicated units and my old touch diamond and touch pro is that the lag time is about the same. i have not tested it with my current phone (tp2)just yet but it seems about the same maybe a little faster. imho i think it has something to do with the lag time with the gps signal having to travel so far. if we think about it, the signal has to travel out into space and then back down. things no matter how fast are not instantaneous.
btw i love this phone. i just typed all this on my tp2! great keyboard.
just my two cents
GPS is another reason I miss my HTC Dream. It was fast and worked indoors. SO far, I see no improvement with this radio and .cab. Of course, I already had an alleged GPS fix with a different radio (3.44.25.27 +A-GPS hot fix). I will test outside now. So far nothing indoors. update: well... it does seem to pick up faster outside now. good fix! not great but a bit better than before. good find!
This Fix works great in my TP2...
Question: Installed but my free program down 6MB..? BTW I'm using Miri V 1.1 Manila 2.5
Edit: My Garmin 5.00.20w works better than my TyTNII... It locks inside my house within 5 second.. More amazing in my bed room which I never get any GPS signal... Antonius .. Genius...
