Tilt 2: Either Disable Touch Input or Disable Auto Correct - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I have read several threads regarding Touch Input in this forum but I still don't understand why I cannot change from Touch Input to any of the other 4 listed soft keyboard options. I can choose them in the pulldown and then select OK. But then if I go back into Input, Touch Input is back as the choice.
And if I cannot choose a different soft keyboard, is there at least a way to turn off the auto suggest for words? It is driving me crazy as it often changes my acronyms and other spelling to something I don't want. But I don't see any options to turn it off.

Just turn off XT9...
The toggle button is under the "a" and to the left of the "z". Just tap it to switch to ABC mode.
Then you can type "cant" and it won't autocorrect it to "can't".

On-screen keyboard - numbers only

My on-screen keyboard is only displaying numbers, with no option to switch to qwerty. The only qwerty characters available are "p" and "w", which appear to the top right of the keyboard.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get the normal qwerty keyboard back??

Did you disable eT9 and to get Auto suggest and auto complete back? If so that is probably what did it.
I had the same problem when I hacked my Tilt 2 to get get auto suggest and auto complete back. Apparently when you do this it works fine until the fallowing happens:
A. You get to a field that triggers you keyboard to switch number entry mode (Nummber pad with P and W)
b. You get to a field that trigger the keyboard to internet entry mode (Keyboard with ".com" and "/" but no spacebar).
Once you enter either mode you can't key you regular keyboard back.
If that is what happened to you, your not the only one.

I haven;t found a way to make it work without breaking the keyboard. I had to do a clear storage and learn to use T9. It better than a broken keyboard.
Yes that's what I did. If I have auto-suggest but NOT auto-complete on do you know if this will avoid the problem??

I'm not really sure. I tried several ways and nothing worked, my guess is your are likely to still have an issue. BTW going back an changeing the registry edits back did not fix the issues for me. I had to clear storage and start from scratch each time.
For now I'm learning to live with XT9. I don't like it as much as the original, but it is usable. The alternative is using MS tiny little SW keyboard, and to me, that is even worse.
Now if someone could figure out how to keep the alternate keyboards from popping up, in theory, that should remedy the issue. Unfortunately, I have no such skill.

Try this to fix it: start Opera, tap the url field, which will bring up the "search the web" field. Then tap the "search the web" field. This should fix your keyboard (at least it works for me), at least until the next time something triggers the keyboard problem.

Thanks for the input, good to know.
That may be a work around for the Internet input issue (maybe), but we still have the issue with the numeric input Keyboard. Thus far the best option, at least for me, is to live with XT9 until a terminate fix is found.
On the bright side, over all I love my TP2/Tilt2!

Actually, this works for the numeric input keyboard issue as well - I have experienced this first hand. addmittedly, it is a bit of a pain to switch from whatever you happen to be doing, to opera, just to fix your keyboard.

I while typing

When I type, I never cap the letter I so it stays lower case. With the original Tilt, it woudl change from lower to upper.
Is there a way to do this on the Tilt 2?
Thanks
I believe in your text message settings you can select for the auto correction to take place. Open up your on screen keyboard, click the little arrow next to the icon and then select the "Text input settings". Once there select any settings you wish to use.
BTW, I've never tested so I'm not sure if it corrects "i" to "I".
Or you could just type properly... there's that route too

[Q] Word suggestions ON/OFF on the go

Hi,
Is it possible to turn words suggestions on and off while typing. On my old phone I can do that by holding the #-key. Is there a similar way of doing it on Windows Phone.
settings > system [pivot] > keyboard
a whole lot of options there, one being "suggest text and highlight misspelt words"
that's the only place i know of.

Can't turn off keyboard haptic touch on CM10 nightly?

Running CM10 11/07 nightly and can't turn off the haptic touch when using the keyboard. I've turned it off system wide, but it still comes on using the keyboard.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
Go to settings, language and input, in keyboard and input methods portion, click settings icon on the right of your selected keyboard, uncheck vibrate on key press.

Thank you so much, was going nuts trying to figure it out

Vibrate on keyboard

Dumb question but where do we disable haptic feedback on keyboard presses? I’ve updated the keyboard binary but have been poking around without success. It’s a powerful vibration - distracting to type in a quiet room.

Annnnnd i found it. (its under Virtual Keyboards, not Physical. Of course.)
Settings->Languages & Input -> Virtual Keyboard -> Gemini Keyboard -> Preferences
The google keyboard allows to customize vibration duration which might be a good option down the road.
Just as a quick note to help anyone else out. Once the settings were changed on my phone to disable the haptic feedback it still carried on. A quick reboot makes it go away though
