Word Completion help

Hello all, I am using verizon xv6900 and NFSFan's 6.5 v14 rom, I am trying to get something a little anoying fixed on my phone. I am not sure if it is a rom bug, but I don't think so as i see it seems to be an issue with HTC keyboards.
I have searched and see others have a similar issue, but really old threads and no real help
The word completion is not adding a space after i pick a word even though it is checked off. Anyone have any ideas??
The other is that occasionally, when first start writing a text, my first word dissapears after typing and hitting space. its random, but if i type it again it works fine.
The second issue isn't a big deal as it is random enough i don't care. The space thing is a little more annoying and I hope to fix it.
BTW this ROM IS AWESOME!!!! Hope someone can point me in the direction of a fix. Thanks!!

I second this. Also when i
try to use the compact qwerty, the numbers
are put in not the letters. Oh and also
the T9 doesnt work sometimes. BTW i'm posting
this from my phone and the T9 isnt working.
The rom is super smooth though and bery fast.
PS i also had these problems on v13, and yes
i flashed correctly.

in the FAQ on the front page theres a T9 .cab fix for that problem the 2nd guys having... as far as the rest, no idea sorry, i have the space problem too
me personally.. i dont like when i hit the + to type in a new entry it erases what you had so far, because sometimes ill have half the world, hit the + then have to start the word all over to enter it

Anyone else with any ideas?? Thanks again in advance!!

just hit space after you write the word twice, it isnt to much of a hassle... i dunno if mine works or doesnt, if it doesnt its never bothered me to notice
as far as the word disappearing.. sure you hittin space and not enter? i dunno sometimes ill accidently hit enter, or maybe it is space?.. the word disappears and the cursor starts at the beginning again like i never wrote a word, but if i hit backspace it'll re-appear

Sensitive G-Senor (How to fix?)

Hi Guys,
I am currently using a Cell Pro Rom and I find that my it keeps flipping to landscape too often when I have my phone in portrait.
I always have to give it a shake to fix itself and it does get a bit annoying.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
(I remember I may have (not certain) that I might have changed the Sensor registry when I first got it, but I am not certain, does anyone know the default measurements?)
Any ideas are welcomed.
Many thanks in advance!

Did you ask in the Cell Pro ROM thread? Seems a more logical place to ask. I tried that one out and did not have the issue you are describing. Good ROM too.
There is a G-Sensor Calibration in Settings- System.

I'm fearing the fact that I may have changed something in the registery as I got all excited the day i got the phone and went through the tweaks in the wiki.
I am not certain if I made any changes regarding the g sensor so I was wondering if anyone knows the defaults or if there is a .cab or ROM to flash to system restore.
Any clues?
Many thanks in advance

To me the g-sensor is a gimmick. I find it annoying and totally useless so I've turned mine off altogether. If I want the screen to rotate I push the keyboard out. I really don't see any use for it.
I did think the only use I had for it was the face down hands free thing but have since decided that I'd be quite happy to push a button for that. Hardly a hassle.

Switching off virtual keyboard

Can anyone help me with a way of stopping the virtual keyboard from appearing whenever I open text programs in portrait mode? Very often I only want to read a file, not edit, however the virtual keyboard constantly and irritatingly appears every time I open such a file. It's there any way of stopping this, please?
Or alternatively, would there be a way of switching off the virtual keyboard altogether? I almost never use it, preferring always to use the hardware keyboard.

I was wondering about this too. I almost always use the hardware (that is sorta the point of getting a TP2) and it is really annoying how the virtual keyboard always pops up on its own, and 90% of the time I have to close it right away. I could see how it would be nice on a all touch screen phone, but for the TP2 it's a really annoying feature.

I'm hoping for a solve for this annoying problem also!

Trying to resolve this too
This is the closest solve so far:

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)

Use diamond tweak, and then go to point 20.1 and set the keyboard automatic display to disable and this will stop it from popping up everytime you open your email or sms. Not sure what the registry settings are, but diamond tweak is quite helpful for some of these issues.

Anyone found a registry setting for this yet?

Since this was an annoyance I got used to, I never really thought about it till I saw this thread. Although I do tend to use the on screen keyboard a fair bit.
Anywho, you can go into advancedconfig and under the "Input" tab set "Auto deploy SIP" to disabled. Tried it and it seems to do the trick so far.
Surprised no one noticed this before as I got the impression most people use advancedconfig.
oops, just checked and noticed this doesnt work in opera. hopefully this doesnt apply to anything else!

I've never used advancedconfig, but I might have to check that out if it provides a solution.
...thanks for the reply

By God it seems to work!
Fade2black101 you are a genius!
Many thanks for the fix

This works for me on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 to keep the soft keyboard from popping up automatically:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000001

HD2Tweak works as well.

Does anyone know of a way to ONLY have SIP deploy in Portrait, NEVER when the keyboard is open? That would be my ideal setting, because I do use both, but I hate having to constantly close the SIP in Landscape mode

Am I supposed to create this entry? I don't see it on my Tilt 2. The extent of my registry editing has only been changing values to existing entries. Do I make the entry name TurnOffAutoDeploy without the quotes right? Case sensitive?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious...

Oh how I wish something like this exists. Unfortunately I'm currently clueless on how to achieve this though.

Basically just create a DWord in the appropriate place which is within the "Sip" folder. Then click on it and make sure the base is set to "Dec." Then under "DWord Data" put the value as "00000001" Mine is set to "1" though so maybe you can set it to that and it'll still work?? Don't really know the process behind all this to be honest
Was using Resco Registry so hopefully whatever you're using is of a similar layout and format.

without the quotes!

Thanks for walking me through that...I didn't think it worked at first, but it's been working fine after my device froze, and I had to reset it. I did a reset after I added the value but I guess it didn't stick or something...FINALLY, no more keyboard popping out!
It seems like I spend more time trying to get my phone to do what I want...than actually using it! One step closer though...

I know exactly what you mean.. I've had the Wizard and Kaiser before this phone, but because I was at uni I didnt really give a crap bout customising them too much and just got used to how crap the interface was. (especially when drunk!) That's why I had no hesitation bout getting the Touch Pro 2 once it came out. Wish I'd researched it a bit more though as I would have got the HD 2 which came out very soon after (wasn't ready to switch to android at that point). I've been trying to get the Touch Pro 2 perfect tho so haven't really been able to enjoy it properly! Constantly flashing new roms and hard resetting, etc!
On a two year contract and still got a year left, but as soon as it runs out I'm switching to android. I'd get the HTC Desire right now if I could afford it.

On a related issue: Does anyone know a tweak or fix to prevent the display, when the keyboard is closed, from automatically switching to landscape mode when the phone is tilted at a certain angle? I never need this feature and it infuriates me when I'm lying in bed trying to read the phone in portrait mode, and whenever I hit a certain angle it automatically flips over to landscape. I'd love to be able to stop that from happening.

Lol yeah I get this aswell.. I usually just switch hands!
Try downloading an app called "G-Config" which allows you to add apps to auto rotate. I think theres sum preset ones that you can remove too.
I'm sure there's registry entries that you can delete which would achieve this, but I don't know where. Hopefully someone else can help?

<Q> The keyboard is weird! Help!

I dont know since when this problem persisted but the keyboard on my desire is weird.
Everytime i try to type fast, there's other letter i don't touch appear in the screen as if i touch it. Mostly the letters appear are y, g, and v.
Knowing that, i then did some test. I tried to type fast only using the letters near my left and right thumbs like a/s and l/k and i did it continuously. As the result, i could see the letter g touched itself while i never touched it AT ALL and then it appeared on the screen.
Then i tried the other line by touching q/w and o/p and the letter y appeared just like the letter g.
That also happened with the third line with the letter v.
This happens everytime i use keyboard (messaging, notes, email, etc)
I dont know if the ROM i'm using causes this because I have tried using some ROMs (not all yet but plenty)and the only one I did not experience this is when i'm using Open Desire ROM. But I dont like Open Desire because I want Sense on it.
I also believe the applications did not cause this since this problem appears just after i flash the ROM and havent installed any application yet
Anybody knows why it happens and how to solve the problem?
FYI my Desire is rooted with Unrevoked way and right now using Lambros ROM.
Any reply is appreciated. Thanks.

Edit:
After trying using Open Desire again, it looks like the problem also occurs with it. I also have calibrated the keyboard but the problem's still there.
Still waiting for anyone can help.

Hi!
I have the exact same problem! (I'm using standard Froyo on a non-rooted Desire).
There's something else, when I type faster than usual and the random letters start appearing the backspace key stops working. I can't delete anything at all and the only solution is to retract the keyboard and then bring it up again. If I do that it works perfectly... until it starts acting up again!
My solution? Well.. I tried Swype and it seems to work just fine! Sure, it's WAY different but it's worth it. It just works flawlessly. And if I don't want to swype I can always type normally, it works for that as well and it doesn't malfunction like htc's keyboard.

Thank you very much for the reply and the solution.
Me have the same problem with the backspace either. I will try using swype although i don't use english often for text messaging or else.
Still waiting for other input which might have another solution without installing third party application or add-on.
So does the official froyo cause this? because i haven't had a problem like this when i was using eclair based custom ROM or N1 froyo based custom ROM as i recall

better keyboard is fab !!!!!! and it works very well typing fast .. the swype thing is rubbish , as I cant spell very well...

Well it doesn't matter any application you want to use since that's not the main concern. I'll try Better Keyboard as well. But when I tried to search it in the market with keyword 'better keyboard', I couldn't find it because too many add-ons and the application itself was beneath them. Can anyone help me with it? I can also not find Swype since there's only one application appear when I type 'swype' on the market and it's not Swype

this is beacause desire has no real multitouch.
any keyboard will have same issue

Better keyboard is a paid app. Can't see those if you are not living in eligible country...

I see. I tried the one in blapkmarket but it's still the same

It's been so long and i finally got the solution after all this time.
My friend told me that this problem is caused by multitouch error and that means hardware problem. He had the same problem but his is HTC Hero.
Then, I tried changing my ROM to MIUI J-Style 10.29 and unexpectedly the problem is gone. From that, I at least can conclude that this is not hardware problem. Anybody having similar problem can try having MIUI for the device's ROM. But maybe some Android-freak dislike it because it has iOS look.

keyboard issue

From time to time, I will notice that when using the keyboard, it will not type out the word I want. It seems to be a bug with this phone. All I am trying to do is text and then I have to resort to finger press each letter just to get a word out.
Anybody else notice this problem? Any solutions on how to fix or is this just a matter of Samsung just sucking?

hey i noticed this too..once in a while it will stop typing and not show anything even tho its typing...doesnt happen a lot but its annoying when it does...so far i just type what i wanna say and hit send hopefully they fix this
btw im using swiftkey 3

I am using what came with the phone. Everything is stock.
