Stop soft keyboard from showing? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Is it possible to stop the soft keyboard to popup by default? If I read an SMS in portrait the soft keyboard will show and take up half the screen, but if I would reply I would flip out the hard keyboard and type on that.
Still it's good to have the option to type with the soft keyboard, so I dont want to remove it completely, only stop it from showing by default.

The advanced configuration tool has a setting for this. I can't say if it works, I've never tried to shut mine off.

Rubbish MMS

anyone agree with me that texting on the touch hd is rubbish?
i use the phone keypad (simulated obviously) to text and the first word i type gets binned so i have to type it again. i like the app to change the keyboard but i use the phone keypad and there doesnt seem to be a skinning app for that.
are there any proper alternatives out there or can i disable some of the useless buttons on the keypad?
cheers all

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.

[App]NoRotate

NoRotate is small utility application, that will enable or disable device rotating.
Why would someone want to disable rotating?
Maybe I'm only one that wants this but im using it for 2 main reasons:
I'm mostly using device in portait mode. When i want to type something i have to slide keyboard, type and slide keyboard back. But when i slide keyboard, i have to wait for OS to rotate. Disbling roation makes typing much faster.
Lots of apps dont support rotating or even causes problems on device. For exapmle if you accidentally move keyboard while using MorphGear in RawFrameBuffer mode, device will freeze and you will have to soft reset
Camera key is not working when rotating is disabled. Use "launch camera" button in application to launch it.
Thanks, that`s very usefull for me.

remove sip from opera landscape and keyboard slide out

Hi all,
i did update the rom on my rhodium with the latest one from HTC.
Now,in Opera,in landscape mode,with the hardware keyboard slided out,the soft panel button appears each time in lower middle of the screen,when i type an url in the top bar.
This is very annoying,as it hides the opera middle button for tabs,whicj i need often.
In the previous rom,with hardware keyboard slided out,the sip was simply turned off,or invisible.
Does anybody know,how to get rid of the soft input panel,when the hardware keyboard is slided our,or may be in landsacpe mode?
Thanks
Y.

Very annoying.

Looking into solutions but so far I have none. Any thoughts, anyone? Thanks in advance!
i use fakesip
although its an all-or-nothing solution, it completely replaces the soft keyboard, supposedly you can switch back by selecting a different soft keyboard, but that doesnt work for me and i have to uninstall to get the soft keyboard back (which is fine for me since i never use the soft keyboard)
