Is WM skipping the handwritting input method or is my imagination? In the last Touch 2 it had a stylus but no handwitting input, only by keyboards you could entered a text ot a note. In order to get this function you had to do some registry tweaks.
Now after that they moved with HD2 and HD Mini that didnt even had a stylus and now we see that in WM7 phones by HTC.
How sad!!!

Alright I know its a beta, but please help. It runs fine, but when I click on the address bar to type, instead of using my default keyboard (TouchPal) it switchs to the regular wm6 keyboard (the one with small letters, need a stylus for it) and I have to change it back to TouchPal cause I can't type with the other keyboard! I am using wm6.1 on a sprint HTC touch. I installed Opera 9.5 to my storage card.
Is there a way to fix this? If so please tell me! Thanks. Btw I would've asked this on opera forums, but I'm not registered. So I need YOUR help!

Download the Diamond Opera 1660 build, there are no SIP (Keyboard) issues with it.
Have the same issue too.
I suspect it is a Opera issue. It is in the beta still so bugs are expected.
Also notable is the fact that the Diamond builds aren't crippled in the way that the official beta is thus enabling you to use flash and active x. My own experience with the beta was also interupted by out of memory notifications every 10 seconds while the Diamond build did not do this.
Just for informational purposes I am running a
Dell Axim x51v
L07 WM6.1 ROM (i think)
A diamond build though it might be different than the one mentioned above.
Registry fix for keyboard issue
I had the same issue with Opera 9.5 beta 2 (including version still on Opera site, 10th March 09). Up comes the really small keyboard as soon as you go to enter text. I found a posting in the Opera Mobile forum, which has done the trick for me (I have the Touch Diamond and preference for "Full QWERTY" input method).

You need a registry editor. The free PHM Registry Editor did the trick for me.
1. Open your registry editor.
2. Select "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT", which is one step down from the top of the tregistry heirarchy (might display as HKCR in different editor?).
3. Use the built-in "Find" function to find "IsSIPInputMethod". (PHM Registry Editor has the find function under "Tools".) It should find that entry under this class: {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}.
4. Set the value of Default to 0.
5. Exit your registry editor.
It worked straight away. I've subsequently soft-rebooted my Touch Diamond and it's still working nicely - no more annoying small keyboard!
Many thanks to Dexterously for his entry in the Opera Mobile forum.
Hopefully this helps a few of you out there who have been going nuts!

hi to all forumers...
I had a problem..
i just install resco keyboard on my HTC P3300 and it's working perfectly without any problem. It was easier for me because i can use my thumb to typing a text & better than an original keyboard (standard)..
I just install Opera mobile 9 (based on new HTC touch) to my HTC..
it's working and i can browse at no problem..
My HTC P330's specs are not too high performance pocket PC,
so.. the problem only happen when i need to typing something (example: user id, my email address, web address), it will "hang" suddenly because of resco's keyboard loads lots of memories...
So is there anyway (tweak, registry edit) for me to "just disable" resco keyboard only for opera application and revert back to resco keyboard after opera close?? ..and i want to set an original keyboard only for opera... can I?
thank you...
hi. flashed to 6.1 from 6.5. having trouble finding a better input software compatible with 6.1. a keypad type (like nokia) input would be great... thanks
hi and welcome to the forum, have a look in the read first! link in my signature, there is a bunch of finger friendly keyboards there.
try atom phone pad ..google will do the trick..
I miss having a d pad specifically the joystick from the apache. i tried everything-virtual dpad, assigning the updown keys and the ok and start with click double click triple click, the zoom bar one. reassigning the hardkeys worked best but still was only a fix. I really miss one handed operation without having to touch the screen especially to scroll through an article. I used to press down once and it would scroll exactly one page foward it made reading websites great. Now I use opera instead of pie but i find that the scrolling is annoying use and moves all over the place. Also when you need to edit something you typed, the joystick allowed you to get right where you needed. Ive tried using the hard keyboard but its also not as good as joystickk,trackball, dpad because i have to be in landscape. Does anyone here think its possible to modify the tp2 and disable the zoombar and put in a old joystick from the apache? Is that realistic. I would be willing to pay to have this done because i love the tp2 running 6.5 and spb and dont want a new htc device with android. Why cant htc get the hardware perfect they seemed to fix one thing and make another worse with each new model (apache,mogul,tp,tp2).
Thanks
I know I missed the joystick, but now, whenever I want to use my phone for more than a reply to a text or checking the time or something. I just open my phone and use the joystick there. I know its not always conventional, but it seems like the only logical thing to be done. If you notice, more and more of the new phones (most of them are Android OS) are coming out with the Trackballs like the Blackberry's (see Aria, Hero, Incredible, etc.)
This seems like its goin to be the new style, and there are going to be fewer and fewer phones with physical keyboards
I've recently replaced my ATC Tilt 8925 with the HTC Tilt2 because I like the windows operating system and the fully customizable capability I have with the Tilt (I don't like restricted phones with controlled options by the provider).
I do miss the dpad that the Tilt 8925 has. It would be nice if HTC developes a Tilt3 with the best of both 8925 and the T2 all in one handset.
It's funny you should ask, because I was just thinking about how much I miss the configuration on my 8925 Tilt! If they could have kept the d-pad and the scroll wheel on the side, I would be happy. Personally, I am not a huge fan of the touch screen, but the genie is out of the bottle now, I guess.
I share exactly your feelings. I had the apache witht the joysick which i prefered over the dapd but my wife had the mogul with the scroll wheel where I has the slider. They both worked great and are missing on the tp2. Altough I dont think im gonna like wp7 but i was hoping that thr new phones from htc would have at least a track ball but it looks like there qare just three barley buttons on the wp7 pro that will be coming to sprint- search,start and back. What a shame. Im really happy with the tp2 running 6.5 and spb mobile shell and the resistive touch screen and am not happy about what the future holds.
Hi Folks,
No sliding input in Windows8 is really crappy and boring!

Will you also be supporting Windows 7? Not all windows tablet users (such as people with Intel Atom N2600/N2800 chips) have the option to use Windows 8, and unless this is an RT app I can't see why you couldn't also make it work on 7...?
I've installed it on my Windows 8 X64 tablet and whe I run it, it just doesn't work. TouchPalToolBar is into process list but I can't call it in any way.
Any advice?
Edit: after a restart it works, but the Curve feature not. When I swipe on the keyboard appears the blue line but it doesn't write anything.
The version I downloaded from their website was in Chinese. Did not have an option for English. If you have the english version, please share it or link to where you downloaded it.
Installed this on my msi 110w tablet with windows 8 and it's all screwy...
It overlays on top of the stock keyboard (you can actually see both of them at the same time)... Then it has two different keyboard layouts, but one is unresponsive.... Then the swipe function doesn't work most of the time... If the keyboard is enabled on a browser, you can't scroll the page, so sometimes you end up typing "blind" because you can't see where on the page you're typing.
