Hi!
I have this very annoying problem. Sometimes when I compose a new message, and I'm about to type in the name of the recipient, the letters and list just disappears after about 3 letters, and "deselects" the recipient window, so I have to touch it again to activate the keyboard.
Often when I write with the keyboard, my phone appears to kinda "forget" that I just typed in a letter when I follow up with the next letter to fast. This doesn't happen as long as I keep pressing the letter before typing the next one.
Anyone experience similar problems? Would've been awesome if there was some kind of fix to this...
Thanks in advance!

When on the today screen, you select new message. Upon seeing the new message screen and intellipad input method is selected, you can't use the intellipad to choose names in contacts. You can type out the name of the person in your contact, but it won't automatically complete the name, and verify the contact you are sending to (with the contact's cellphone number displayed). But if you type a contact's name using the keyboard, after hitting 3 keys, it automatically displays candidates that you can choose to send message to. This creates additional hassles, use a keyboard to select the contact you're gonna send message to, then sellect intellipad to input text messages. It's kind of a hassle. Any ideas?
Agree.
I do it the other way around...when I want to send a text message, I click on the call button, find the person I need with intellipad, then click and hold the name, and the menu that pops up allows me to send them a text message...easier and faster this way!
Ok. Thanks for the tip. Sure hope somebody fixes the issue though.
Unfortunately, it's the way IntelliPad was designed.
<techie>
Instead of trying to handle the entered text on whatever text box/trich text pad/label/unsupported text object, IntelliPad builds the word in it's own little box until you tell it to move on (by pressing enter or space), and then just moves the word onto the active control.
This way, you have less issues with the text not working as expected, even though it causes the one or two niggles like in Messaging .

Hi guys
Just upgraded to Black 3.0.1 and got a strange problem with SMS. Whenever I used to write a new SMS, I'd fill out the "to" info then press tab then start to write the message. Now, I press tab and it jumps right down to the bottom of the SMS and if I start to type it still types in the "to" box.
Anyone else experiance this?
Thanks
Try going into the Pimp my black app and turn off the "Navigate with D-pad" function under the Pocket IE tab.
You legend, worked a treat! Thanks
In WM5 when I wrote a text message to someone I could start to write the name of the person I was sending it to in the "To" field and then it would give me a list of people in my phone book which matched what I had typed so far.
I have now put on WM6 and it has XT9 on it. If I do the same now it does not present me with the list of people from the phone book, instead tries to do predictive text on it. I love all the rest of the place XT9 is active but this is one where I liked the way WM5 worked.
Is there a way to disable it for name entries into the To: field?
put a space after one or two letters
If you press space after a couple letters then it just puts a space in and waits for you to type the next word in, it does not then list a number of users who match those first few letters
on mine propose at least a name, you're right, not a list, but a namen yes
Hmm strange - I wonder if there is a XT9 setting somewhere which is causing this.
Does anyone know how to fix this function in WM6.5? Running Energyrom on my TP2. When I enter the first characters of my contact name in the To field both in sms/mail, nothing happens. Only when I press backspace once the suggestion list appears.
This goes for both my software and hardware keyboard, regardless of XT9 settings... For the rest it doesn't lock up or anything like I read in other forums, I can select the contact from the list and it replaces the entered characters with the full contact address. This works fine. It is just that I would like the suggestions to appear directly when typing characters...
An update to the latest EnergyROM fixed this! Case closed
Previously, when I would start to type the To: of an email, at the bottom of the screen there would be an entry with a match from my contacts - or at least I thought it was from my contacts. Recently I lost my email account and had to create a new one. Now the auto type does not work. Is it because of the new account? that the auto type really worked from previous email addresses entered in previous messages?
if you use a keyboard with predictive text then it doesn't work. If you're using the slide out keyboard it should work.
Does it work of the contacts list or previously sent emails?
in my experience, it should pull from your contacts...it's a bit buggy, to say the least...in the "message to:" field, you can press the "enter" button to select from your contact...i end up having to do that most of the time...
Did you install swype recently? I noticed it wouldn't pull up contacts when I installed swype, only when I backspaced one letter would the contacts be pulled up.
that may be it...ive had swype installed for quite sometime...
It is swype that has made the closest match selection stop working. Even though I am individually typing each letter (not swyping), the swype keyboard does not seem to allow it.
