XDA Atom T9 Phone Pad

[Sooz]

I have an XDA Atom ROM 20051129B2 and like many others would like the T9 phone pad from the Imate on it.

I have the smart dialing installed and that gives me the phone pad in dialing but i am after the Input T9 phone pad for txt message, the keyboard is too slow!!

i've read different posts but none seem to address what im after, did try installin the Russian version posted elsewhere here but that didnt work.

Anyone have any ideas where i can get a copy of the HTC Phone Pad to run on the XDA Atom?

Cheers and many thanks

[geo77]

PhonePad for Atom - only Russian and English T9. WWE version (without Russian letters) I shall give later...

[Sooz]

thanks heaps for that i have installed and it works ! i get the phone pad now, only problem is it is in Russian, and i need it in English how do i change that?

[Sooz]

Oh and upgraded the Rom here now running on the latest one posted here on site if that makes a difference

[geo77]

thanks heaps for that i have installed and it works ! i get the phone pad now, only problem is it is in Russian, and i need it in English how do i change that?

Start- Settings- input- Input Method: Pone Pad /Options-Languages-English-Ok-Ok

[Sooz]

Doh! looked everywhere for that!......thanks heaps.....

[Sooz]

ok changed to English but still russian, soft reset still no change....any idea?

[geo77]

On buttons should be both Russian and English letters. But if you have changed Russian on English, at pressing buttons of a word there should be English. But if it has not occured, try to remove Pone Pad and instal again

[Sooz]

tried to uninstall it now i can't select it as an input...

[geo77]

Try WWE version (without Russian T9)...

[Sooz]

all working fine with the last phone pad version thanks heaps for your time and knowledge.....

[gabgab]

geo77, thanks for sharing the software
i have already downloaded the phone pad
how can i install it in my xda atom?
thanks for your help

[Sooz]

just use your file explorer and launch the cab file should install fine, just dont install it to your memory card or anything

[gabgab]

thanks sooz,
ok i download the rar file to my computer
then when i open the rar file it has lots of files inside
what should i do with this files?
copy it to my xda atom?
please help.. step by step if possible.. :D
thanks again!!

[Sooz]

no... just put the Cab (rar) file onto your device then on the device go to your file explorer and launch the cab file

[NcikRu]

Sooz, Ok I did it. Installed the program to main memory, but nothing has changed even after SR. I have Atom with last "leaked" ROM. What I did wrong?

[Sooz]

dunno about the "leaked" rom but the official version it works fine ..

have you checked the input in settings? do you have option for phone pad? i did install the russian one first and installed the WWE one over the top perhaps thats the difference......

[victoradjei]

works on my atom using leaked ROM.
victor

[gabgab]

[Sooz]

[jeremy_elman]

Just wondering if anyone's experienced this - on installing the new test rom I can no longer seem to go into the options for the (english only) phonepad. Nothing major but wouldn't mind turning the noise off everytime you press a button.

[Sooz]

Yeppers happened to me as well, just install phone pad again it will do a remove and install and all ok with options
Cheers

[jeremy_elman]

Sooz ... worked just as you said, I can now look forward to many hours of silent texting. Many thanks.

[Sh0t]

damn awesome, thanks a bunch

anybody recommend a good replacement for the number phone interface?

[titi123]

Thanks geo77 for your good works. I will try on to me Atom having latest ROM update ( Official May) and hope it works.

[Knightro]

Resco Explorer
PDA_Hack Smart Dial 2.2 with skin
Pocket e-Sword
Microsoft SQLCE 2.0
Saman WM5NewMenu

[bhaskar]

Hi i've installed "PhonePad_Atom_WWE.cab" & when i change the input to PhonePad & ok it, the input remains Keyboard.

I've just bought the fone a couple of days back & am my Atom's Rom version is 20060123B1WWE.

Can anyone send me the latest ROM update..?? I bought this fone last saturday & when i try to register onto O2 website, it asks me to wait for atleast 7days.

Plz Help

[Sooz]

Knightro ok can you also search the forum for the smart dialer install that and you should be fine

[Sooz]

knightro u need the wm5 version of the smartdialler its in the message about the original smart dialler for the English O2 Atom

[Sooz]

bhaskar

search the site in atom there is an upgrade for the ROM version, install the smart dialler first then the wm5 phone pad then soft reset, should all be fine

[Knightro]

knightro u need the wm5 version of the smartdialler its in the message about the original smart dialler for the English O2 Atom

Hi Zooz, I did install the said file. It was recorded as PDA_Hack Smart Dial 2.2 in my Add/Remove Programs. Still my PhonePad sometimes appearing and most of the time not appearing. I've got the same problem with this other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30591&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=phonepad&sid=49d7bfac1df3bb37430765c09ff2d60a with no solution.
Please help. Thanks for being helpful.

[touraco]

the phonepad utility is great!

[Sooz]

Knightro are u running AKU 2.2?..... i did have same prob with old rom but not such thing with new one... just had to reinstall it twice but works a charm now

[Knightro]

Is the AKU 2.2 means the ROM 20060426B1WWE? Yes I am on that latest ROM. I tried hardreset and reinstall again my programs including the PhonePad. My icons at SPB and Phonepad is working fine until I install MS Voice Commander. I think the culprit is the VC, still I'm not sure.

[Sooz]

yeah i have uninstalled that cause it caused me no end of problems with everything.. was a nice idea but far too buggy...

[nonatus]

guys been searching and testing posted software for phone pad, but of no luck!

for some reason even if I changed the input method to phone pad it revert backs to keyboard. Any reason why? Any suggestion?

By the way I'm running on latest ROM.

Thanks!

[collingan]

hi guys I'm very new to pocket pc.I tried downloading the phonepad/t9 into the atom,it was indentified as download.php.Then went to the file explorer to open it but unable..Any idea why?

[kropotov]

download cab file in your pc, then using activesinc copy it to atom. run (tap) cab on atom.

[collingan]

kropotov,
Thanks for your help! It is working now...

collin :D

[kush98]

It does work, but after sometime, it will revert back to keyboard, Anybody know why it only work after soft reset again

[mikey79au]

Thank you so much guys for this. One thing I loved about my XDA Mini was the Phone Pad, then to get the Atom and it's missing a fundamental necessity............. Love the Phone Pad

[furious_88]

HI anyone knows does this software (PhonePad_Atom_WWE.cab) eng ver works on HP RW6828?

[ipaq6300]

mine is rw6828 but it does not show anything after install to device and performing a soft reset

[kush98]

It works for my case. any way O2 have come out with phone plus. Anybody have a copy? thank :)

[zhangxf]

Hi,

This is a great tool and exactly what I was looking !

Only one problem, the key pad seems to lag behind and keep missing some of the keys when I'm typing SMS. E.g. whenever I type "you" very often it came out to be "ou" without "y". It seems the response of the keypad is so slow that it missed out the first character.

Not sure anyone else is encountering the same issue. Is there any tuning or tweaking to improve that?

Any help is appreciated!

Rgds,
Raymond

[lemonicetea]

Got a HP RW6828 - tried varios versions of the phonepad/intellipad and I have a similar problem as many others...

Shows up in the options for input method, but selecting it brings up the qwerty keyboard...

Absolutely not viperx! It works flawlessly on the exec, just make sure you install it in your main memory and yes, it can be uninstalled through 'remove programs'! Enjoy!

anybody know how to switch off the keypad sounds without turninng off other program sounds such as alarms and reminders etc?

I am using the ipaq 6828, have installed the wwe phonepad from the earlier thread with no problems. It's a great tool!!

[viperx]

Hi all
I've installed this program (phonepad_atom_wwe.cab) onto my atom exec and it pretty much works with no problems. I use it regularly now, it is invaluable. However, there is one thing I would like help with from somebody who is more of an expert at this stuff than me.... i can't even get a regedit to work

for some reason I need to softkey sound to operate the phone pad correctly... i think it is because i need some sort of response from the machine since there is no tactile response that the button's been pressed. however the default beeping noise is driving me nuts. i want to simply change it to the clicking sound that comes with wm5.

if anyone can help me with this, send me a cab file or something it would be invaluable.

Thanks all.

Albert

Mines 2234, and I *think* the problem is solved.

I install on my Atom Exec, but i cannot access the options of the phonepad to off the keypad sound. Anyone can advice?

[ozamalloa]

Guys, i have the smart dialer and when I input a name in the phone pad and the name has more than one number it inly shows me one and it does not let me choose more number for that name. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

[viperx]

In regards to changing the sound when you press a button, you can turn the sound off in the input options in control panel.

In terms of changing the sound, I've tried putting in strings "wave" and "sound" in the registry under the appropriate folder, and it doesn't work, doesn't change the sound. i can't seem to change the name of the wave files in the windows folder, can i do it with any other program, and will that adversely affect any other programs?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

I have the smart dialer from O2 and when I input a name in the phone pad and the name has more than one number it only shows me one and it does not let me choose more number for that name. Any suggestion?
I have seen other models of O2 that let you choose more numbers for one contact.

Hi, The "phonepad_atom_wwe.cab" version works perfectly on my HP iPaq rw6828! It's fully functional in English and I have found that my pda is finally like using a normal mobile phone to send texts!

The "phonepad_t9_atom.cab" gave me language issues as it would not change from Russian back to English.

I have tried about 6 soft keyboards and Phone Pad is the best!

About Phone Pad:
Phone Pad Input (for Pocket Pc)
Version 1.0 (Build 18526)
High Tech Computer Corp

About my rw6828 ROM (this is the latest ROM frlom the HP website):
ROM Date: 06/10/25
ROM Version: 1.01.03 WWE

I have included both cab files in the attached zip in case I have confused the versions above. I actually installed both (one over the other) as the 1st one was in Russian.

Cheers,
Shaun

[viperx]

maybe you've got your contacts on your sim card. not sure but that's my guess

[ozamalloa]

All the contacts are on the Atom memory, not on the Simcard, and when I use the smartdialer and the contact has more than one number it only shows me one of them. My friend has a XDA mini and it let him choose through a drop list wchich number he wants from a single contact

[Nightingale]

Just a quick note to anyone who might be having some reservations (like I did) about installing phonepad_atom_wwe on your new Atom Exec - I've followed the instructions from members here and it works fine! Am really thrilled to see that lovely familiar keypad that I'd gotten so used to in my old O2 Mini.

This is what I did:

1) Download the .cab file onto PC desktop.
2) Explore your Atom via ActiveSync, and drag the .cab file into Programs. (I guess you could also put it into somewhere else provided it isn't the Memory Card). Correct me if I'm wrong please! :)
3) Go to File Explorer in your Atom, search for the .cab file that you've just dragged into your device.
4) Tap on it and let it install - and voila! Should see the Installation Successful message.
5) I did a soft reset before trying it - just in case.

What an extremely useful tool. Beats the free Infrared keyboard that came with my Atom Exec anytime!

Hope this helps other not-so-savvy PPC users like myself. :D

[dspinoz]

Thanks for the T9 phone pad, it was just what i have been searching for!! :):)

[thebranded]

:thumbsup: great app, works beautifully on my 6828.

Though would be nice if it would auto search the name of the person you want to send the sms to (like the WM5 normal keyboard) apart from that its great.

[nasir791]

ihave an imate PDAL..a non-htc device..it lacks the HTC t9 phonepad ... I tried installing phonepad-atom-wwe cab....on the pdal...the phonepad did appear but after soft reset, the normal qwerty keyboard appered even if I selected phonepad option while messaging ...what's the solution?

[chrisonline]

This Problem have many users... me too :-)

Is there NO solution?

[kjskho1]

me too, still looking for patch but no avail. my workaround is try launch phonepad b4 u go into SMS (Messaging). for instance, if u r using transcriber, then go to Start>Programs, change it to PhonePad. once done, then launch ur sms apps.

[chrisonline]

I've tried your solution, but with no success..

The PhonePad works with english but not with german.
I change the laguage to german and it writes in english!?!?

After softreset the phonepad doesnt work anymore...

Is there another T9 program out there?
Or is the phonepad the ONLY solution for pda's?

[chrisonline]

I have a solution and it works for me...

1)Switch off any devices like WiFi, Bluetooth, and for the moment disable any start-up applications (from starting) - To minimize system memory usage
I have done it with SPB Pocket Plus. It can disable any start-up application becuase it starts in "safe-mode"...

2)Remove CF and SD storage cards - There have been some bugs reported for storage cards where they may drain system resources if too many applications are loaded on the cards.

3)Select the default keyboard as the default input method - To temporarily prevent other input methods from being the default method

4)Soft reset the device

5)Open an application like Notes/Word

6)Select Phone Pade as the input method by clicking on the screen's bottom right icon's arrow and selecting Phone Pad from the list of available input options.

7)You should be able to use Phone Pad in all other applications as well as switching on WiFi and the start-up applications.

For me works fine, after soft reset !!!

Please try this solution.... and give us feedback!!

Greetings chrisonline

how about smart dial? has anyone got it running on 6828?

Hello, is there an option for French T9 in this phonepad?

Hello, I have a quick question.

Is this compatible with the HP 6828?

thanks in advance.

rohseq

[mephistomann]

once installed (do not perform a soft reset), go to "Settings", "Input" and select Phone Pad then its "Option". Disable the sound function from the menu.

For some, once reset, the Option will become disable and not accessible.

By the way, this keypad works well with HP RW6828 :)

Hi Folks, this phone pad you are talking about is found in Dopod W700, C800 and selected series right? If that is so, this software can be installed in Atom Life? Kindly advise. Thanks!

Polo,


Are you just looking for the T9 .Cab file? if so I can e-mail it to you, pm me your e-mail address.

[polo007]

I do not know exactly. The iPAQ already has a T9 and it works with all the programs except the phone pad.

Is this .cab intended for the phone pad ? If you think it will work I'll try it.

Thanks in advance.

Polo.
leopoldo.plata@hotmail.com

[polo007]

I have tested the T9.cab and it is not what I am looking for, thankyou very much.

What I need is the "Smart Dialing" software ( or .cab ) - from HTC Corp - to install in the rw6815, this software is in the i-mate jam, Qtek S200, etc.

Does anyone has this software available to share ?

Thanks in advance.

may i ask where to get the T9 phone pad software? thanks.:)

Hi,

I've tried the various phonepad downloads for my O2 Zinc but none would work.

It only one that worked for a while was the wwe one. However, it only works if nothing else is installed, and even then, not always. Whenever when I install the O2 programs and SPB Plus, Weather, Time, it would stop working.

I can still see it as an option but I only get the normal keyboard.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[mousegan]

I have problem with phonepad-atom-wwe installation. I ahd copy the entire folder of cab files into my device and tap de setup to install. However, after soft reset it doesn't work for me. Can anoyone help me?

[polo007]

What do you mean by not working ? If it is installed correctly and you see it in the options but it does not pups up, what you have to do is go to: Settings>Input, select phone pad, and under options you have to select what you need. I hope this work for you.

[mightyox]

The phone pad works when it wants to. I have tried a number of installation and sometime after soft reset it works and other time not. I am now using TenGO and it works all the time.

Hi
Can it be: are Albert and I the only ones that want to change the sound???
Or is there a solution to the problem, that has escaped me???
Regards
Søren
In regards to changing the sound when you press a button, you can turn the sound off in the input options in control panel.

In terms of changing the sound, I've tried putting in strings "wave" and "sound" in the registry under the appropriate folder, and it doesn't work, doesn't change the sound. i can't seem to change the name of the wave files in the windows folder, can i do it with any other program, and will that adversely affect any other programs?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi, newbie here just joined today. I just bought a HTC Touch Phone today and it doesn't have the T9 Phone Pad for input. Searching for this program lead me to this forum.

Just want to thank Geo77 for providing the cab file. I was able to download the program and it's working fine with my HTC Touch Phone.

Nice job man.:)

Hi, I've installed the phonepad and it works the first time round, but after i installed afew SPB products it failed to work. I then uninstalled SPB diary, and the phonepad immediately worked again, but after the end of the day it failed again.

This is an issues unsolved for very long already. The problem is that anything that install on the today screen will "eat up" resources that conflict with SIP and not just this phonepad. So either you reduce the nos of today items or reduce the nos of SIP used. Btw spb product is great in all expect but memory and resource hungry. If you wan to keep the diary you should try the latest 2.5.5 version which is lesser hungry. OR even better you can try todayagenda, its much simpler version with no tabs but very very low resource needed!! :)

Cheer!!

[shauneli]

Hey Jeremy,

I've attached the English version of the XDA Atom T9 Phone Pad however would highly recommend that you use the new HTC Touch Keyboard. You can choose between a standard QWERTY layout or one similar to a phone keypad, where each key contains three letters, making its size even bigger.

I have tried most of the keyboards on the market but I can safely state that I believe anyone who tries the new HTC version will feel the same as me!

i have been using O2 Atom Life for a big while, and never bothered to use phone pad until i signed up for unlimited text messaging. to my surprise, my phone did not come with phone pad as i couldn't find it under my input.

i downloaded the cab posted in post#10 on page#1, copied to my phone, then double clicked to install it. It worked! Now, I really do enjoy texting alot. Thanks to all the posters who shared all the information here!!!

the HTC touch keyboard is much better from the atom.cab bcoz it has wider keypads and has an option in the keypad wherein you can input directly to the the message you're writing. i installed it by saving the file via 2GB kingston micro SD with adaptor and saved it to device. i uninstalled the atom phone pad from hp ipaq rw6828 first before installing the HTC Touch Keyboard. both keypads works fine when i tried them one at a time. its up to you which one you'll like.
thanks shaun for sharing the info & the file.:):)

Does this work on WM 6.5 on O2 Atom. Running Atom with WM6.5 ROM CE OS 5.2.21501 Build 21501.5.0.7.0 Khoa_Ha . Are they compatible?
