yeah. I finally changed the T-zones key to something useful: IE!
where do I find these links?
i can only find the short_camera.lnk
i can't find the faq.
i have the htc s620 and what the messaging key to run a different program?!
Same problem
ZIt seems the Dash and 2620 have a lot of diferences. I can't find any keys .lnk files to chane the keys--I wouls like a task manager wehere ie is.
Also - the htc s620 does not have the text key hold and switch character function (which is really handy) and there is no t9 ot t9x on the s620.
Frustrating
but this hold functionality you can achieve with 3rd party tools.
at my s620 i only have the short_camera.lnk

change to keyboard with diferente button positions
Hello, i'm waiting from ebay an keyboard for qtek 9000(in this case, T-mobile MDA) and it was a qwertz layout.
the question is, if I change the original keyboard to a new keyboard with diferente button positions such as Ok button,video call button and others, will pda recognize the diference and atribute right function to each button?

no i believe it will not.... the keyboard replacement you bought are just button pads... external only and does not contain the board that corresponds to the button press.... this means it will still follow the original keyboard format even if the buttons say otherwise... you could use a software however to remap these buttons to suit your new keyboard layout.
Universal Keyboard
Hi!
I have a Universal with a German keyboard running WM6 in English.
There is no need for any sort of special software to map the keys when you change from German to English. When you load a WWE WM6 your device will automatically have a US QWERTY layout. It will be then up to you to remember your Touch Typing 101 lessons.
It's generally not that bad with letters and numbers--just swap the Y and the Z. Punctuation is harder. When I first got my phone I printed out the keyboard layouts from both a German Vodafone manual and an UK manual and carried them around for reference. After two months I don't even notice anymore.
Good luck,
shrines
Hi,
Why are you suggesting that??? It's much easier to fix the registry for the german layout. That's what I have.
1. for the german keyboard on english ROM
2. get a registry editor (like Resco)
3. search the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
4. edit - Layout in decimal to 66567 (from 66569)
5. softreset
(thanks to macznik)

Numeral keypad for typing messages?

is there a tweak or something that can give the TP2 "onscreen numeral keypad" for typing messages,like on the touch hd and diamond 2 ?
i have looked through the hole tweak tread but didnt find anything for this problem...
can someone please help me...
It can switch to entering numbers and symbols by pressing the "12#" key on the onscreen keyboard. Is this what you mean?
no i mean how to get a onscreen "mobile T9 keypad" like on a "classic" cellphone. for typing messages. i like it for one hand typing. i know the diamond 2 has it, and i think also the hd.
Oh, you wanted a T9 phonepad!
When my Dopod D810 (Trinity) was upgraded to WM6, HTC omitted from the ROM the PhonePad that was originally on these WM5 devices, so they issued a patch to install it. I wonder if the patch would work on TP2 as well

If you press the "new sms" button and when the onscreen keyboard pops up you press the little arrow to the right of the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen. Now a menu should appear with several options. Choose "Phonekeypad" and you're done.

How do you customise keyboard keys?

Can anyone tell me how can I customise the email key on the TP2 keyboard to ok? I really miss this on the TP2 and was so useful on my TyTN II.
someone posted this. haven't tried it yet though, but i do plan on changing the Messaging button to "Ok" as well.

Touch Pro 2 - Auto Complete? Spell Check?

I recently upgraded from a T-Mobile Wing to the T-Mobile TP2, and for the most part I am really appreciating the improvements in hardware and software.
One thing that is bugging me, though, is that when texting or writing an email on my Wing I would be offered a list of possible words after typing the first few characters. I could select one with the arrow keys, and then press space to accept. This made typing out messages much faster. Also, it would auto-correct certain words - like changing "i' to "I", or "adn" to "and".
I can't seem to find a place to turn these features on in my TP2.
It originally came with WM 6.1, but I have since upgraded with the official WM 6.5.
Any ideas?
Edit:
I should also mention that I am talking about using the hardware keyboard. I am aware that you can bring up the on-screen keyboard, select XT9, and close the on-screen keyboard - and then you will have word completion functionality, but the setting does not seem to be persistent.
Thanks!
It should work, just open up the keyboard in landscape mode and click the same XT9 key. If not go search for a registry change to have it default to that setting.

My point was kind of that I don't want to open the on-screen keyboard and select XT9. It becomes pretty unwieldy to add those steps every time I slide out the keyboard.
I was hoping that someone could point me to an option setting that I hadn't stumbled across.
It seems an odd bit of functionality to have been removed from the OS, so I was hoping that it was there, but not enabled - make sense?
Thanks for the tip, though

On my phone it was saving XT9 as the default for messages, even after a soft reset. I'm running Mighty Mike's 6.5 sense 2.1. Here is a possible solution (post 7):

Thanks,
My phone is not saving XT9 as a default at all. As soon as I open a new message it is back to ABC mode. I checked the setting in the link that you shared, but mine was already turned on. Seems to make no difference to the hardware keyboard.
Thanks again
