I noticed there's no Word Completion when typing text, notes, word Docs etc...
anyone know where I can turn this on? or if it is/is-not an option?
I found some Options under Start>Settings>Personal>Input>Option (Under Touch input), for: XT9 Settings.... no clue what that is...it does have boxes to check Spell Correction, Word Completion in XT9 mode, Word Completion in ABC mode (For Phone Keypad only), and Auto-Substitution...but Word Completion still doesn't work.
Thanks
Figured it out...you have to change the ABC ---> to "XT9" on the soft keyboard, then it works for both the soft and hard keyboard.
Ah, answered my question. I had adjusted the option, but still couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. Now I know!!!!!

You can also do it on the hard keyboard by pressing ---> FN then "UP" directional key...which has the XT9 key ;D
took me awhile to get this haha

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.
How do I set the phone to always have XT9 active?
I know how to activate it temporarily: FN + Space > XT9 Svenska.
But every time the phone goes off I have to do it all over again (the setting with ABC is activated when the lighting has gone off).
I´ve tried all possible things but...
And I did search the forum for: XT9 and ABC but no matches on either or both.

Anybody knows?

This is an old topic with no solution. If you searched the forums, you would have seen this:

Thanks, then I know.
(I did search, try the specified words yourself)
I have my text settings set to be threaded but instead of putting my text's in a nice orderly thread (like the original TP did) I get all the messages from whoever is sending them at the bottome and everything I sent at the top. Has anyone else noticed this? If so has anyone discovered a fix for this? PLease? it makes it hard to track where my discussions are going and/or where we've been (like when some references a previous text from me I have to search through all the texts from me that are slammed at the top).
The other problem I have is on my touch pro it had the time of the text for every text not just mine, can we fix that too?
Thanks ahead of time. I tried searching but came up with nothing close to what I am having.
Are you on the stock build?
Yes, just got it last night, I like everything about it except this...well, not everything. the start menu takes time to get used to as well...
I forgot to mention that the keyboard doesn't have a CTRL button...who would design a keyboard without a CTRL button? How am I supposed to copy things? especially now that touchflo doesn't wanna let me press and hold and select copy (or what have you)?
most text fields you should be able to straight highlight and copy. For other text you may have to go into menu and set it to "Make text copyable", or something along those lines I don't quite remember the exact words.
As for your SMS, I haven't run across this issue and am unable to find anything via searches. Have you tried disabling and re-enabling? Soft Reset? Hard reset?

You can find an app in these forums called "Rhodium Key Remapper" that will allow you to assign one of the other keys to the "CTRL" function
i couldn't find a definitive answer for this, so I'm throwing my question out there:
I just moved to Starburst 1.3.3.4 from LeeDroid 2.3d, and now I find that Starburst, despite having Chinese language support, lacks the Chinese toggle that the stock HTC keyboard had (w/ LeeDroid had too).
Does anyone know how to put in the Chi language toggle? I've tried downloading Google's IME, and although it installed, nothing changed.
You have to change the input since you installed a new keyboard. Open up the keyboard in sms or something and in a text field, right click, well press down for few seconds and menu will pop up, select input method and change it.

Yep, stumbled onto this solution when my finger strayed a second too long into the SMS text box. Whaddaya know, voila! --input method came up, and the keyboard with Google IME I installed showed up.
Thanks anyway, appreciate your dropping by to assist.
Is there voice input apart from S Voice? I have tried a couple of other keyboards (including, of course the Google keyboard) and there is no mic icon to be found. I have scoured the menus, including the developers menu, finding nothing that would enable voice input or voice typing. Really perplexing and frustrating omission of a feature. I am running rooted and stock. Any ideas how/if it can be done? Thanx.
Samsung Keyboard has the Samsung Voice
Swype has it's Dragon key for voice input
You can also Select while typing Google Voice Input (not really a button but it is not really a keyboard either).
sorry, I don't understand...

Are you saying there is a way to get voice input? I do not know what the dragon key is. ?? I do not understand your last comment either. Sorry if I sound like a doof or something. I am fairly adept at setting up these phones but this issue just eludes me. Could you explain it to me like I was a 4 year old?

Yes.
You can select whatever keyboard you have loaded by selecting the keyboad symbol when you swipe down from the top.
Four Images...
1) Samsung Standard keyboard has a mic button
2) If you load Swype, they have what they call Dragon Talk which is the flame looking key on the right.
3) If when selecting input device (The keyboard at the top) and select Google Voice Type, you get
4) which is ready to listen to your text. It's not really a keyboard but can be used regardless of what keyboard you have selected.
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply with attachments. I just downloaded Swype/Dragon and surprisingly the voice input works! However I still have no 'mic' button in Samsung or Google keyboards. Strange. Any ideas? I am happy to use the Swype but I would like to figure why that feature is not working in the other two keyboards.

make sure voice typing is selected in language and inputs under your settings.
on your keyboard if you have a 3rd party keybard to the left of the keyboards space bar (the one with the 3 lil dots on it) hold the button down until the button shows more options. One of them is the mic. the button will default to whatever that last selection is.
I get what you're saying...
The problem is there is no selection in settings to activate voice typing. Also on the Samsung keyboard, pressing the button to the left of the space bar only yields the options shown in the screen shots below. Again thanks for your input and assistance.

Oh in that case, you need to install Google search, will automatically install the voice and GNow features.
Thanks
Yep, that did it. Thank you. Pretty lame that this isn't a feature of the OS itself, but hey we're talking Google... Thank so much to all who have contributed to the solution.
