I have searched the forum and couldn't find anything which helps me on this.
Is there a way for the Compact qwerty from HTC to have T9 as the default mode instead of ABC? Now I am having to toggle from ABC to T9 every time i use the keyboard.
See the attachment.
Thanks in advance.

When typing text using the physical keyboard, XT9 will favour 'c' before 'a'
When typing text using the touch keyboard, XT9 will favour 'a' first
This is really irritating, can anyone suggest a fix?
Thanks
unfortunately it's not just that!
It's pretty lame that there are differences in XT9 using physical and touch keyboard. I've been noticing that a lot!

hi there!
I use the iGo (Stowaway) bluetooth keyboard with the WM5 drivers on my niki300.
unfortunately, it clashes with XT9, even in ABC mode.
with XT9, typing is very slow, as i am much faster on the keyboard than XT9 is with keeping up with what i type.
whenever i switch to ABC, the bluetooth keyboard behaves like the 20key slideout keyboard in ABC mode.
for example, if i hit the Y key twice, it writes X, not YY.
has anybody any idea how to solve this? ain't it possible to disable XT9 (and its bad habits) completely for use with bluetooth keyboards?
thanks
Bernhard
update: I just found out, that i have to slide out the hardware keyboard, long press the SYM button to show the XT9 options, go to ABC and close the hardware slider again! now the stowaway behaves correctly...interesting.
maybe you wanna try this cab so that you don't have to press XT9 to oget to ABC everytime you wanna type.
Cheers
thanks tacia, I know the thread where this was posted.
actually, I wrote two little MortScripts that set the registry key to 0 or 1 and put them into the HTC home launcher.
so when i want to use the bluetooth keyboard, i launch the ABC script. when i quit using it, and i am back to using the built in hardware keyboard, where i want XT9, i launch the XT9 skript.
I can upload them here tomorrow if somebody else is interested (along with the start menu links you need to add it to the launcher).
hello, im using elelinuxes superb rom, one question though, when you go to htc ime settings, it gives you chance to change from qwerty keyboard, to phone keyboard or compact qwerty, i prefer phone keyboard, as I got big fingers, but after changing option to phone keyboard, it still shows normal keyboard, it seems to do this on all froyo roms, can anyone help me to change? what am I doing wrong?
The black keyboard is not the HTC _ IME one. Long press on the text box to change to the HTC one and not the stock keyboard.

Just installed a modded HTC keyboard. There are in fact 3 keyboard styles in one installation: full qwerty, compact qwerty (2 letters per key with XT9 system) and dialpad (T9). Got it here:

I chose the high resolution version for Froyo and it works great. It's got many languages and also English speech-to-text which works remarkably well. Too bad it's not available in the other languages. The only disadvantage over Swype I found so far is switching between languages which takes an extra keypress because you have to go into the menu. The Swype keyboard has a direct key for this.
I used the compact qwerty keyboard for many years on my Windows Mobile smartphones. Swype works ok but it is just more prone to errors, at least with me. So having HTC's keyboard in Android really made my day.
The keyboard is skinnable but I can't be bothered because the standard look is fine for me.
I'm using it as well since I got defy. if you want to quickly switch languages there's a settings voice where you can assign that function to the volume buttons .

Went through the settings again today and I switch through languages with left and right swipes now. Also disabled the languages I don't use.
The volume button now moves the cursor which is a huge improvement on a phone without a track sensor! I love this keyboard even more.
Nice job man
this is great , i was longing for one. tried a lot on winmo 6.1 but couldent get it
i have keyboard like n73 or n95 !!
pls send private msg
thx
I know, I should have searched.
But I have searched and did not find anything usable.
I have a HTC Leo with WM6.5 and Energy Sense mod.
Recently an idiot (me probably) bewitched my keyboard. Instead of my good old QWERTY traditional keyboard i get a QW ER TY keyboard with two letters per key.
Ok. let's change the input type...
Where?
On the Sense Settings menu under Locale & Text, Text input? nothing there usable.
On the start menu? Settings? Tools? I did not find anything that worked.
Could anyone give me a hint where to retreive my good old QWERTY?
Thank you
with compact qwerty open give a quick tap offset to the right half of the keyboard icon & you should get the extended menu come up with options of Qwerty including full standard qwerty.
You can also use my attached mortscript & use the .exe to launch the script which will make the input extended menu popup.
Thank you. It was too easy... I spent hours trying to find the way...
