XT9 predictive Input

[xandermac]

Does anyone have any idea how to turn this off? it is the most annoying think...

[xandermac]

Nevermind, I got it. Alt+Space lets you switch to ABC mode on a per application basis.

WM5 ONLY, YOU WILL LOSE CAPS!
To Disable XT9 change the following registry key to:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KbdDlls\000109FF=kdbhi d.dll

NO MORE XT9 at all.

Would be great... if it worked... just tried your changing the registry entry as you described, rebooted, went in to my note app -- created a new note -- started typing, and, up came that damn annoying T9.

[indiekiduk]

I like XT9. It seems to remember everything I type which saves loads of time.

[chaznet]

I really liked T9 on my SDA, but don't like XT9 -- really don't like that you can't just shut it off completely and use it as needed. Always comes back.

That registry thing worked for me. No more XT9....at all.

How do I ACTIVATE XT9 on my HTC S620 ?? Seems only the Dopod 720 & T-Mobile Dash have XT9, but they are the same phones, made by HTC ?? Thanks, kampsy

[chaznet]

lucky you... wish it worked for me.

Carriers add thier own stuff to devices they bring to market -- T-Mobile added xT9 to the Dash, HTC didn't. It's not something you can purchase.

This worked for me, but it's killed my CAPS key. I can't use it to capitalize any letters. Any ideas? Thanks.

[chaznet]

Did the same to my device. Wow -- great tweak whoever posted that, did't get rid of my xT9 and trashed capital letters. Sort of like a manually-entered virus. Anyone recall what was in the resistry before the change was made?

Yeah it REALLY sucks, I hope the poster was aware of this little 'tweak' before s/he suggested it. More importantly, I hope he or she used it on their own before recommending it. I am real annoyed by this result but it serves me right for not taking anything here with a grain of salt. Things have changed a lot in the last couple of years.

I guess, I will just wait for the official T-Mo WM6 ROM for the Dash to get rid of this nagging issue. Whatever.

[devo567]

on WM6 if you turn it off in one app it turns it off for them all and then stays off if you reboot. Its Beautiful!

[mar11974]

WM5 only, WM6 doesn't have the same issue or settings, but I'm sure WM6 users know that already. Yes, tested it on my Dash and yes you lose caps, but if XT9 is so annoying, so what. BACKUP BEFORE YOU TRY ANYTHING POSTED ON A DEVELOPERS FORUM, OTHERWISE WAIT FOR THE MANUFACTURER OR CARRIER TO ADDRESS YOUR ISSUES! What have you contibuted to improve or correct any thing in this forum anyways?

[chaznet]

Looking back, I see it was you who posted this little bug. Would've been nice if you posted something along the lines of 'the registry should say 'A', change it to 'B' so we could at least put it back. Yes, we should've backed our registries up first, but this looked like such an inviting little tweak. Who knew it was useles because:

A) It doesn't turn off xT9
B) It disables the ability to use capital letters

Oddly enough, when xT9 is active (which shouldn't be possible according to you) words that are remembered with capital letters are now the 1 and only way I can get a capital letter.

The other poster is right, WM6 is around the corner, might just as well wait until then to fix your 'helpful tweak'.

And, um, you consider this a contribution?

It's a contribution because he was trying. It's not his fault it also does something else. And it obviously works for some people, they're even saying so. So don't jump down someone's throat cause he was just putting out an idea. Back up your files, or do what I, and everyone should do, write down what it is you're changing so you can change it back.

[chaznet]

Did you make this registry change? If not, what is your registry entry? If you did, apparently you were smart and wrote it down? What was it before you made the change?

Now that would be a contribution

Dude, you are so off on this one, I am not even gonna dignify that with a response.

A warning that this tweak kills the CAPS key would have been sufficient as a courtesy. You want to contribute? Do it properly and follow the etiquette of this forum. An attempt is nice but not when it results in nags like this. And yes, I do have a backup of my registry, I just can't be bothered to re-enact it from the dead since I will wait for my new ROM in less than two weeks.

No, I didn't cause A: I'm selling my Dash this week cause I'm moving and T-Mobile nor any other carrier with sim cards comes in. B: I don't care enough to do it and C: I'd rather wait till WM6 that fixes it right.

Oh, and my reg says:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KbdDlls\000109FF = eT9.HQD.Excalibur.kdb.dll

Enough of a contribution?

[chaznet]

Thank you!!! Much appreciated...

[tacia]

to disable XT9 u can try this file I got from HTC web.
Good luck.

The default setting of Touch Dual’s input method is xT9 enabled currently. This application will allow you to use ABC input method as default on Touch Dual.

If you have such requirement, please follow the installation steps as below:
1. Synchronize your device with your PC
2. Download the cab file: HTC Touch Dual-default-ABC.CAB
3. Save the cab file in the Touch Dual device
4. Tap and execute the cab file on the Touch Dual
5. Please power off and on the device after installation.

MIGHT NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON AN EXCALIBUR

T9 has some superior functions particularly for SmartPhones than eT9. I grabbed T9 files from WM5 HTC (StarTrek-fairly common drivers) and the registry entry so this CAB should work for all HTC SmartPhones and probably others. The CAB will disable eT9 and activate the older T9 obtained from WM5.
