Tilt 2 Keyboard issues!!!.. - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Just got my Tilt 2 two days ago. Last night I used the reg edits to disable eT9 and regain Auto Complete and Word Completion. Everything seem fine.
Today I find that I have no space-bar any longer, instead I have a ".com" and "/" where the spacebar was.
Needless to say a WS keyboard without a spacebar is USELESS!
Any help? How can I fix?
What I did:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layout\e0090409
changed value
From: \windows\eT9ime.dll
To: \windows\compime.dll
and
HKLM\software\tegic\eT9
Changed XT9SupportMSSip value
From: 1
To: 0
I then set it to suggest 5 words with AdvanceConfigTool 3.3.
BTW in using the stock AT&T ROM for now.

Going to do a "clear storage" and start from all over. Hopefully I can set it up to my liking and keep a proper functional SW keyboard.

OK started all over again after a Clear Storage and so far so good.
There are a couple of options I would like to change.
1. Not have a space added automatically ofter I choose an Auto Suggested word.
2. Have it Auto Suggest after just 2 letters.
As the options menu for this is not available on my Tilt 2 are their any other was to do this?
UPDATE:
was working until I enter my owner info and while inputting my phone number the keyboard switched to a number keypad and now it stuck there. I can't get the regular keyboard to pop back up.

Touch input - Where did my spacebar go?

I have the TP2 with stock Sprint ROM.
I have changed the KBD settings to use LogMeIn with this reg edit:
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409]
(MS IME mode)
Ime File = \windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
Not sure if this is causing my problem, however my touch screen input keyboard is only showing the default that Opera uses, with the ".com" button instead of spacebar. How can I get my spacebar back?
Sometimes it sticks on number input also after clicking on a number field like the time.
Anybody?
Found it.
Kept searching and found it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566361&highlight=keyboard+fix
Changed HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime.change CurrentET9Style from 1 back to 0
This works temporarily, but when I click on the time in a calendar entry, it switches to numbers, and does not switch back unless I re edit the registry. Is there any way to keep the setting from changing at all? I want it to stay at CurrentET9Style = 0.
Anybody?
OK. Ignore this thread unless you have this problem!
Here is a fix I found at PPCGeeks:

Thanks to

Then you have to use KforTouchPro to enable the keyboard with LogMeIn. (And then the reverse to get back to properly working soft keyboard)

On-screen keyboard - numbers only

My on-screen keyboard is only displaying numbers, with no option to switch to qwerty. The only qwerty characters available are "p" and "w", which appear to the top right of the keyboard.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get the normal qwerty keyboard back??

Did you disable eT9 and to get Auto suggest and auto complete back? If so that is probably what did it.
I had the same problem when I hacked my Tilt 2 to get get auto suggest and auto complete back. Apparently when you do this it works fine until the fallowing happens:
A. You get to a field that triggers you keyboard to switch number entry mode (Nummber pad with P and W)
b. You get to a field that trigger the keyboard to internet entry mode (Keyboard with ".com" and "/" but no spacebar).
Once you enter either mode you can't key you regular keyboard back.
If that is what happened to you, your not the only one.

I haven;t found a way to make it work without breaking the keyboard. I had to do a clear storage and learn to use T9. It better than a broken keyboard.
Yes that's what I did. If I have auto-suggest but NOT auto-complete on do you know if this will avoid the problem??

I'm not really sure. I tried several ways and nothing worked, my guess is your are likely to still have an issue. BTW going back an changeing the registry edits back did not fix the issues for me. I had to clear storage and start from scratch each time.
For now I'm learning to live with XT9. I don't like it as much as the original, but it is usable. The alternative is using MS tiny little SW keyboard, and to me, that is even worse.
Now if someone could figure out how to keep the alternate keyboards from popping up, in theory, that should remedy the issue. Unfortunately, I have no such skill.

Try this to fix it: start Opera, tap the url field, which will bring up the "search the web" field. Then tap the "search the web" field. This should fix your keyboard (at least it works for me), at least until the next time something triggers the keyboard problem.

Thanks for the input, good to know.
That may be a work around for the Internet input issue (maybe), but we still have the issue with the numeric input Keyboard. Thus far the best option, at least for me, is to live with XT9 until a terminate fix is found.
On the bright side, over all I love my TP2/Tilt2!

Actually, this works for the numeric input keyboard issue as well - I have experienced this first hand. addmittedly, it is a bit of a pain to switch from whatever you happen to be doing, to opera, just to fix your keyboard.

ATT Tilt 2 rom problems

Hello everyone,
I just bought my ATT tilt 2 and I have a few issues that I would like to address. If you guys can help me address them it would be greatly appreciated.
(1) When I get a call and message at the same time, my phone doesn't stop vibrating even when I am in a call and the other end can hear a buzzing noise.
(2) In my message tab, I have a '1' icon showing that i have a new message but I have no new message. I even deleted all the messages and still it does not go away. Therefore TouchFLO is also showing me '1' new message all the time.
(3) In my previous phone (omnia), I could hit any of the front hardward key to light up the phone then I could unlock it. but that feature does not seem to work in this phone, I have to everytime hit the power key to go in and out, therefore I find no use for the lock feature. I changed the setting for it to never go on standby but then the screen always on (low visibility) and that would probably use up alot of battery.
Any fixes for these problem?
I do not mind changing ROMs but I have no idea which ones are stable and how to go about changing them. I can look up on how to change them but I need to know what people are happy with. I do not want to keep changing ROMs.
Thanks Alot for your help
Have to push power button to wake up device
I have a TILT2 and it sucks to have to push the power button to wake it up. Does anyone know how to modify this?
I would like to push one of the front buttons to wake it up as they are more accessible.
Thanks.
Number 1 is weird. Maybe try a hard reset.
Number 2: Go to Start>Settings>Today do to "Items" tab. Uncheck TouchFlo3D, and check Messaging. Hit OK, and go back to the Today screen. There should be some stupid welcome message from Microsoft in the text messages (for some reason doesn't show in TF3D). Delete it, and you can go back into the Settings and turn TF3D back on. The "1" message icon should be gone
I had the same problem, and this worked for me.
number three:
Try this link from XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578061&highlight=wake+device+button
If you want to wake up TP2 by any hardware keys, please try: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD "KeyLock" = 0 (default is 1) then Reset..

Input keyboard changing from QWERTY

Any one else have this issue and were they able to resolve it?
When ever I try to enter an appt into the calendar my touch input switches to a numeric pad with a P and a W. It is the same pad people have gotten with Opera 9. It does not switch back unless I go to Opera (it was never open) and touch on the address bar. At this point it will go back to the Qwerty touch input. This is a very clunky work around but it is the only one I am aware of.
It will do this even if I use the hardware keyboard to input data in the appt fields. Anyone know what causes this or how we can fix it?
Because you didn't mention witch rom you use I can only say try another rom. I never have had this problem. Or you can try a hard reset first.
I am using the stock ATT rom. I have hard reset it a few times for other reasons and it is still the same.
If you are entering text it stays as qwerty but as soon as you go to one of the drop down boxes for the time of the appt it switches to the number pad with the w and the p whichis fine as you are entering numbers. Unfortunately it does not change back to qwerty even if you try and add somting in the text boxes again.
If you open Opera and click first on the address bar, then on the Google search bar, the qwerty keyboard usually comes back.

Tilt2 When in "Phone" screen using keyboard 123 number keys show 678?

So I haven't done any crazy stuff to my tilt2, no roms or anything I added a gps program that's about it. I dont recall this being an issue before but it may always have been like this and I just never noticed.
but anyway, when I go into "Phone" mode to make a call. if I use the physical keyboard and try to type a 1,2, or 3, it comes up as 6,7,8. looking further it appears the top row of letters has taken on the numbers "@" gives me "1", "_" is "2" and so on.
Did I do something somewhere or is there some setting I can change to get it back so the number keys are correct?
