OK, I keep my phone on the Touch input method so it does auto period. I almost exclusively use the hardware keyboard. One thing I cannot figure out is how to gt some of the auto-correct things back. For example, the G1 use to automatically do things like change ive to I've, dont > don't, wer > we're... how do I get that functionality back?
Edit: OK, I see I simply activate Prediction, which is cool, but is there a way to get this without it actually bringing up the "suggested" words as I type them?

All,
I just used an IMEI service to unlock my two DASH phones. And now i obviously want to maximize the use of my phones. first by getting rid of the T-Mob crap that is on their by default, then setting up my POP email so that I am not limited to the default T-Mob "My-Email" config.
So...
1)What do I gotta do to get rid of the T-Mob crap? Is the IMEI unlocking a full unlock of the phone? Do I need to flash a custom ROM or change some REG KEYS?
2)How do I config my DASH to work with any POP mail account I want? Gonna guess that this will be partially sorted once the first issue is sorted. But surely there is way for me to config email on my DASH so that when connected (WiFi or GPRS) I can send/recieve my mail as if I were on my laptop?
3)Games and Apps. Would like to know the best site for FREE smartphone apps. (I am assuming these are different then Pocket PC apps?) And what would be the top recommended programs to make my DASH more functional?
4)Are there any good English-Spanish translators and Bibles that are available for download.
5)What is the best way to get movies (DVD's) on to my Dash so I can watch them. What format is best
6) Is there a way to get more use and function out of the JOGGR bar? Thought it was to help with scrolling and overall navigation, but it only seems to work for the volume (even though I have changed the setting for device and phone control)
Long list, but any help especially with the T-mob crap and the POP.
Thanks
Anyone??? C'mon some of you got to have answers to some of these issues and questions??

You could try searching this site a bit. i know that the answers to at least 3 of them are fairly easily found here.
also, nothing is stopping you from adding pop accounts, not even the t-mobile app.

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.
does anyone have the qwerty reg settings, now i no longer have that function all i have is regular keyboard or when qwerty is selected i have just numbers...thanks
Anyone???? I dont want to Hard reset my phone again
i had same problem today. soft reset no help. i went to opera and tried to type an address in and the keyboard came back. but after that it happened again. Possible problems: I used the HDtweek to get my word completion restored. I am also running SPB mobile shell. Trying to get a handle on it.
I have also seen this twice
I have also seen this twice.... had to restore from backup to fix.
Thanks,
Just typing in the address bar in Opera fixed the keyboard. Did this yesterday and I's still good. I'll post again if the keyboard disappears.
I used Mobile reg editor to get word completion back now I have all kinds of crazy keyboard problems. I am currently using Resco Keyboard but would still like the one that comes with the T-Mo TP2 if anyone has those Reg keys available...Tj
here is the tread in the tmobile forums for the keyboard settings. I used hdtweek to reset the setting according to this thread. It also has some reg settings you might want to look at. I hope it helps.

THANK YOU!!! Got it back to somewhat normal (no word completion )...Tj
No problem. And yes I like this keyboard also. I just discovered you can type numbers by just holding down the top row-no need to shift to the number keyboard. On my Tilt, I used Zoomboard. I loved that keyboard because you could slide left or right if you hit the wrong key. I might go back to that once I get the Touch Pro 2 down pat.
TrekkerJmm and Record1,
Both of you "fixed" the loss of the TouchPal Keyboard (the one where you hold the key till the number is highlighted) by undoing the word completion reg change. No way to have your cake and eat it to. I have lost this keyboard three times now (fixed with Sprite Backup Restore) and ended with that softkeyboard that has the p and w and the numbers only.
TIA,
Actually I have the touchpad keyboard and word completion. However, I still get the disappearing keyboard every once in a while. (I think it happens when I use internet explorer.) when this happens i simply open Opera and type anything in the address bar at the top and the keyboard magically reappears. It stays good for awhile. I think its internet explorer that breaks it, but im not sure. I use opera most of the time anyway. As I stated earlier, I used HDtweek and the known good instructions in the Tmobile forum the get word completion working again.
The disappearing keyboard is rare now so I'm living with it for now.
Okay so ive been browsing this site for a few days, each day spending hours trying to find the solution to my issue. and i havnt found it yet.
***I bought this phone off somebody, it wasnt mine originally. already came with WM 6.1 and alot of other stuff***
my problem isnt that i want T9 texting instead of the predictive type(like mostly all of the ones i find)
my problem is that my phone is stuck in some hybrid qwerty/standard cell text entry. the pads that are grey (Numbers) are stuck assuming i want to type useing them as a standard cell. ( multi-tap)
but what i want is for the button to be used as its QWERTY. all the solutions involve downloading some keymap. but i already have done that, and used all of the Tegic ET9 keymaps. none of them change the text enrty.
then i find that im supposed to hold ALT and press space, well my ALT button appears to not work. so then that doesnt help either. thers no way i can find to get full QWERTY texting, which makes it annoying that it even has a full keypad that i can only half use.
does anyone see my issue? can anyone help?
is there a way to go back to predictive type and maybe that will bring back QWERTY?
okay, so after EVEN more reading and researching, i see that i can either try a remap (which im pretty sure i have tried) or reseting back to original ROM.
which i dont want to do really, because i kind of like the 6.1 build.
a new question i have is, if i upgrade to the 6.5 i see on this site, will that fix my problem?
is my ALT key broke? i see the same problem happened to alot of people, but i dont think that we can all have ONE similar broken key, resulting in the exact same problem. seems kind of... odd?
so yeah. if anyone could help, that would be awesome...

Hmmm... I know that in the ROM threads there are multiple posts of keymap files. Try using one of those.... If that doesn't work, then definitely do a reflash. Realize that you CAN go to the original ROM, and then go back to whatever you want, going back to the original may clear up some issues (or tell you if it is the ROM that is causing the problem.) ANother alternative is HARD-RESET, which is like flashing a new ROM, but not exactly, it just clears the memory to "factory default" (or just the basic ROM files that were originally installed)
Good Luck
okay, so im thinking of just trying these steps, tell me if this should work.
1. hard reset
- keymap/ xt9 and see if that works
2. rom downgrade to original
-see if that works with maybe the xt9
3. after downgrade, upgrade to 6.5
-with all the many fixes this should work?
so im thinking this should work?
oh and im just going to give my older sister this phone, she doesnt use phones to the extent that i do. so if i go to 6.5 would it be user-friendly for her? i still need to fix this text entry problem tho.
and how long do you think this would take?
I just finally upgraded from my Evo to the S3, and the first thing I hate is the keyboard. I'm used to any and all keyboards from my rooted Evo and previous android versions/gingerbread keyboards/etc. I believe I have the correct settings enabled for spell correction/etc, but words never get fixed. Any idea why?
For example, typing 'gane' wont switch to 'game' as before. 'Ne' to 'me'..'soneone' to someone and so on. I find it hard to believe I have to manually select every word I want corrected..
