SMSing with 1 hand.. - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

I recently got the JasJam and wanted to know is it possible for a developer to be able to write a code for a '123' keyboard with the 'abc' letters on each number to appear when typing an sms with T9 functionality.
Your replies would be much appreciated..
Thanx.

lol, I would probably be prepared to be flamed for this...
And we wonder why people get in accidents...
I've never seen anything like what you are asking for though, and I think that it would still be very hard to do something like this while driving since it's a touch screen...

actually i think it'd be easier if somebody could write a code to modify the normal keyboard to accept sliding...
that is, if you poke at G then move to H and release at H, H gets typed not G
this makes things very easy to use 1 handed as you can keep your finger pressed to verify what is being typed before actually typing the letter

no he has a valid point... trying to type in porn websites on your hermes while you're masturbating is quite tricky.
also... yes it is possible to do; if MS have released docs on writing your own keyboard map, then it could easily be done

you could try the phone pad cab in the ftp under tools and programs, it gives you the option to have the onscreen keyboard work like a normal phone pad with t9 predictive text

Well, there is an application that I use for one hand SMS. I don't actually use it when I am driving, however I do use it when I don't feel like sliding the keyboard. The app is "Tengo Thumb" and below is the URL and it is not free.
http://www.tengo.net/

Thanx for the replies. Will try TenGo and let u know how it works out..

phone cab is the way to go. Install it, then soft reset and select it instead of the on screen keyboard and you tap on your screen as if its a phone with a keypad.

Pls excuse me..
I am having diffculties locating the Phone cab file..
Pls help.
Installed TengoThumb but it takes time getting used to.
Thanx in advanced.

Found it.
Thanx for your help gents.
Here's the link incase anyone else was looking for it.

@kastro,
I have never used Phone-Pad so I am interested on you thought between the two products.

The reason why i ask this is because it is difficult to type an sms when driving...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the this country it is not only difficult but illegal! I nearly got killed by somebody using his phone while driving.

for those that don't know after installing the phone cab and restarting you have to select the onscreen keyboard and then press the arrow next the keyboard button
as for how it works, I find it pretty responsive, the t9 works as well as other phones, although if your a fast typer you can outpace the phone sometimes, I didn't find it a big problem.
the only real negatives I found was leaving fingerprints on half myscreen and the phone pad is a lot taller than the normal keyboard

OMg txting while driving

@lpsi2000
Phone pad is much better and more practical to use. It's exactly like using a normal keypad to type T9 sms's - it's actually even better..
The driving was simply an example to 1 hand typing. I started the thread cos there was no possible way i could continue with the Jasjam using its current features to type out an SMS.
And yes, it is illegal in my country... But who obeys the laws at the best of times?

i use the full keyboard while driving yes yes, flame me now...
but actually it works out kinda better, as i can put both hands on the wheel while holding the keyboard and still keep my eyes on the road...
WARNING, do not try this at home, this is a stunt performed by a professional with years and years of texting experience. I will not be held responsible for your inability to multi-task

@kastro,
Thanks for the tip and I will give it a shot.
@shogunmark,
Using the full keyboard while driving is definitely not an easy task especially at night. I agree with the warning, please do not try at home.

Japanese Input

Hey all....
I recently change the language of my X01ht from Japanese to English.
Unfortunately i dont seem to be able to type Japanese anymore.
I can see it and read it, but not type it myself.
also, i seem to have problems with my Radio. after the device enters standby,
and i turn it back on, i cannot reactivate the phone. i have to soft reset before i can turn the phone on, using the comm manager.
this is not my first upgrade of a HTC phone, but certainly the most exciting
i hope someone knows what i did wrong.
Also, is it still possible to bake my own roms for the HERMES???
Sorry I can't help with the japanese input... but for the other questions:

This is very weird, which radio version are you running?
As you said you changed your phone from Japanese to English I assume you already have bootloader 1.04, then you can try to flash an extracted radio rom to see if it fixes the problems.

Unfortunately not yet, the hermes upgrades use NBH format instead of the NBF you have probably seen in older HTC devices.
The available shipped ROM upgrades contain all the rom parts in one single NBH file (IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, GSM, ExtROM, and OS), this file is signed with an HTC private key, and checked against a certificate stored on the phone before it is actually flashed, so if you cook your own ROM in a NBH file you get an "invalid cert" error from the bootloader when trying to flash it.
Some of us have started researching how to hot-patch the SPL in RAM to allow flashing self-signed code, but it is still too early to have results.

thanks for your replies.
Im running Radio Stack version 1.07.03.10. I just realized that i cannot send emails via my Gmail account under Flexmail2007. If i connect to a WLAN everything seems fine. But using 3G, i cannot send anything. Internet and receiving works fine though.
Also, once i use my hermes for a while (surfing internet via 3G), the back of it gets quiet warm.
I guess around 38-40 degrees celcius.
@qtotter
thanks alot, mate. That really helps.
i seem to have a few problems with this device. i didnt have a HTC for a while, mainly because i moved to Japan and my phones didnt work there.
Now i seem to be a bit behind.

This is a configuration problem, check the 3G and proxy settings with your provider, this has nothing to do with the radio stack, you won't fix it by upgrading it.

i can send email via gmail with pocket outlook, and so does a friend of mine... i guess it's your setting in the email client as pof says.
also, my x01ht gets warm, too, when it's connected to the internet via 3gpp.
Thanks guys...im gonna do a hard reset tomorrow and built it all up again.
right now its all kinda messy.
I have over 5000 programs and games for PPC and i wanted to see what still runs, so i have alot of dead folders and probably some unnecessary registry entries.
I also might change from Flexmail back to PO or something else.

Thats certainly true...thats why i usually use only the ones that are interesting to me. but thats still alot...but since alot of the are a few years old now, i am reluctant to try them. i already had some problems with some software under WM5.
I installed the Japanese input...this language bar thing. But its really annoying. It opens 1 more bar every time i start a program/game.
it is also making itself very present. even if im in camera mode, when its in the
background, i can still move it. During games i have to move with the stylus, i will always pickup that little bar....very annoying...

i am not sure what the little bar you mentioned is. i guess you tried the method for non-japanese speakers?
i have never tried any input methods other than atok 4 ppc. if you do not mind spending a couple of thousand yen for japanese input, i would recommend you buy it. but it does not officially wm5, and you need a little tweaking...

How to avoid the unwanted appearance of the IME floater
1. Download, unzip and copy GWinter's KbdSwitch to Program Files. http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winte...are/index.html
2. Run KbdSwitch and set to Japanese IME.
3. Soft-reboot.
4. As soon the Pocket PC starts up again, the IME should be in Japanese. Sometimes, it is not and so you may need to reset KbdSwitch to Japanese IME and restart a few times.
5. Run any application that may use the Japanese IME, i.e. dictionary and wordprocessor.
6. Switch back to English IME (COMP IME).
NB: The floater should only appear only in applications that you started with Japanese IME on. Also, remember that the "X" in the upper right corner of the windows is actually a "minimize" function.

if you get rid of the software totally, why don't you uninstall it???

Hello,
Please, I tried this but couldn't make it work properly ... maybe I couldn't understand ... can you explain it better?
Anyway, Is there any way (even paying) to make the Japanese input work in a proper way, just like when you have the device in Japanese (always without the floating bar)??

Teksoft Fingertouch, used or not used?

I'm curious as to how many people are using the Teksoft Fingertouch keyboard donated by Teksoft to the Athena Project. I've since abandoned by hardware keyboard and use Fingertouch only.
Anyone else using this only or using something else?

hehe im also a dump the hardware for fingertouch person.
The thing I hate about the onscreen keyboard is that whenever you tap the screen to enter data,
it automatically pops up. 95% of the time I use the hardware Keyboard, and if I'm filling at a large
form with many fields, the darn KB app pops up every frick'n time and I have to close it to continue.
Is there a hack/mod, that turns off this auto pop-up setting? Its really
getting on my nerves.

Hi, i removed the HW-keyboard too.
The Fingertouch-Soft-KB looks great but it's a little too big.
It lets only 1/5 of the screen show if selected pad 5.
If selected pad 1 still only 1/3 of the screen shown.
This isn't much. Is it somehow possible to make the keyboard smaller?
Now i use the standard Keyboard with big keys and gestures and this is still a little too small for fingertouching, but now i see what i'm typing.
Any app which has size between Fingertouch and standard keyboard i think will be better.

Fingertouch can be skinned. I never did it as one of the guys at Fingertouch took care of this for us. If you visit their forum I'm sure they can help out or maybe there are instructions...hell they may even do it for you if you tell them you're using their product on your Athena. They donated, for free, their full version keyboard to help out. These guys are great. Their forum is also very helpful and they respond quickly based on my experience. I'm sure Fingertouch can be skinned/modified to be exactly what you want.

Thanks, i didn't know FT-KB isn't freeware.
Great to have it inside the ROM.
I use it in combination with the hardware keyboard. I tend to find the HW keyboard easier to use when 'stationary' i.e. sat at my desk. But when oot and aboot, its easier to use the fingertouch.
I did alter the registry so that it uses keyboard '1' rather than '5' as its easier to use. Just a shame there's no £ key and the \ key isn't a shift key on board 1.

Much as I don't own an Athena anymore, the Fingertouch keyboard made a great difference and I never used the hardware keyboard. For an alternative I used a bluetooth keyboard. Without Fingertouch and the black ROM in general I would've got rid of my Athena much sooner.
I enjoy my hardware bluetooth keyboard a lot, as I work with translations and need to type out big bodies of text. As my fingers are accustomed to hardware keyboards I guess I am the conservative old goat who says "software keyboard?!?!?!"

Default Keyboard during Phone Usage?

All,
Can anyone provide me the tweak or registry key to allow for me to continue typing on the thumb board while on a phone call? (Presently while talking, the system defaults to the number pad while talking)
Any help would be appreciated. I have seen a couple threads about changing the default keyboard config, but not for this one directly.
Thanks,
Bob

Interesting, so when you are in a call and you type an SMS or email at the same time, the "Y U I H J K B M N ." keys don't type numbers in their place? I would love to have the letters instead of only numbers. The numbers are a help in 2% of the cases, but for the most part, I want to type notes about phone calls and without having the thumb board working, I am stuck with the touchscreen and it is much slower for me.
Either way, I appreaciate your help

I'm using original spanish ROM WM6 and I have the same problem.
Me too
Let's bump this thread up the date sort:
AP 3.0, still. I can't get letters with the kbd at all when in a call, so I end up using an on-screen, or translating whatever I typed after the call. It sucks. I thought the active prg would dictate what happens with the keys. ???
I must admit the convenience of the automatic switch when in the phone app is nice.
I'm not getting why some units do this and some don't, or if it might be that people aren't using thier keyboards during a call in a different app.
Reg key? Any better ideas?

On screen keyboard or hardware keyboard? On screen works fine, hardware not since WM6.
its important to me, i would love to type using thumb keyboard while talking, i can confirm that vanilla version of 6.1 does that too but its a beta rom and i like AP4, maybe the athena project people can inlight us about this matter and creat a patch for us to use
for importancy am trying to keep this up, guys its doable, someone is required to just lead us, at least someone post me a clean (hard reseted) registery from a rom that works during call normally, and i will install it on my mobile (which doesn't type letters during call) if it works then at leaset we know its defenatly registry and there for i dedicate my life for it. any clean registry anyone can supply
PS am willing to Hard reset but not willing to reflash another rom am very tried from that business

If this drives you that nuts, then maybe you wouldn't mind doing a bit of investigation and sharing that with us?
Take a look at this registry key: HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyboardMapping
There are some subkeys there, ToNum and ToSD. I'm guessing that those are responsible for the letter remapping. Would you mind taking a look and letting us know? Thanks!
Dialer/Dialer skine deppendent
It also could be that it is deppendent on dialer used in your system. Some dialers can switch keybaord to numbers and some can not. It would be nice if those who can write letters during a call could tell us which dialer is in their system.
Possible Path?
HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch
Looks like this could be the ticket, will try to mess around with it and see if it makes any difference

There are some subkeys there, ToNum and ToSD. I'm guessing that those are responsible for the letter remapping. Would you mind taking a look and letting us know? Thanks!

Thumb Keyboard problem

Lets say I'm typing something and the last word is "end." If I hit enter to start a new line but then decide I want to add something to the previous sentence I would move the cursor back to the last word "end" and hit space... instead of inserting a space, it will insert the same word again "end"
So it looks like this "endend"
Anyone else have this problem
yeah i get that as well.
Yeah. Same here. It is annoying.

I sent an email to the dev and explained the problem. He said he'd look into it. Do u think its fair to ask for a refund since it doesnt even work properly for us?
I'm having the same problem with Thumb Keyboard, I also installed Swiftkey X for Tablets and it has the same issue. Did anyone find anything out on this?
are you guys talking about in the notes app. because I get the same thing but only in the notes app. for example I typed this using thumbkeyboard and tried to replicate the issue and didn't have the problem. but when I typed this in notes I did have the problem.

I too am only having an issue with the notes app. When I tested in gmail, the browser(in a contact text field), in evernote and all worked fine.
I can confirm the issue happens with swiftkey x
I also tested it with smart Keyboard pro and I didnt experience this issue.
Man, there is nothing more annoying than seeing the question you are thinking of, pop up almost word for word on google....then seeing that the only responses are "I am having the same problem!" Come on, so NO one knows how to fix when you are typing, and (for example) want to add a letter to the middle of a word, like you want to add a "E" to death, and the cursor automatically goes to the end of the word instead of actaully putting the letter where you want it.
Does ANYONE have a clue what settings the Tumbkeyboard needs set to in order o not have the cursor jump to the end of a word?
I gave up on thumb keyboard... really made typing difficult with the double words. Kii keyboard is where it's at now.
i'm the same issue
That's strange : I don't have this issue with mine (SwiftKey X tab last version) !

Swype problem in official ICS update - Alternative Free Input Method

I have had issues with Swype since installing the first ICS, where it would stop working, cause the screen to freeze at the most inconvenience times. I thought I was alone with this problem, it appears not here.
I tried troubleshooting, reinstalling, clearing cache, uninstalling, reinstalling, fresh boot with nothing else loaded, nothing worked and I don't know what my problem must of been and was surprised I couldn't find anything else with it.
I searched for an alternative keyboard that would cut the mustard, I don't mind paying for things, but found slideIt not particularly good on the trial, also I do like the way Swype worked when it worked, so was looking for something similar, think I found it below.
I'm not one to normally worry about bothering anyone else, however after my woes of Swype and getting pretty much to the point of going back to Gingerbread because of it I have been very impressed, you can also utilize the unconventional keyboard layout if you wish.
Give it a go, worth it, for free anyway!

Good you found someone else with the issue but still there are far many more including me who got zero issues.
I always wipe before and after flashing.
I always use stock ROM or AOSP.
I format system every Time I went frm one type to other.
And I only use Swype as I'm used to it and even thinking about typing is tyring.
I can't believe I just read that spam excuse of a post, in Comic Sans MS no less
Is it possible to un-see something?

Throw it back over here when you're done so I can do mine.

Yea cheers for that oinkylicious (WAC), I stated I do not normally post something, but found a benefit to myself that others may assist from. Personally I prefer Comic Sans - and?!
May I take it from your comment you don't want me to post any more.
I'll just observe, good job everyone doesn't just do that, xda would be dead and buried...
Go troll and spread your love elsewhere if you've no post related comment or have any form of positive input..
