Dial pad software for SMS

[jpless]

Is there an Input replacement to have a "normal phone" style dialpad for writing SMS etc.?

Something like this:

Just search for "Phone Pad International" ;)

Some ROM's have this included by standard..

I have an additional language installed with it's own keyboard, but when I installed Dial Pad for Hermes on my Trinity I could only use the default English keyboard.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[mccune]

Yes, you should install the international version ;)

So I have done a search both here and google, but I can't find a place to download only descriptions etc. anybody got a .cab file or a website?

Google

Search: "phone pad international" cab

First link: XDADeveloperWiki - Hermes_Utils

Download: ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/Phone%20Pad%20-%20International.CAB

That's all ;)

No problem dude ;) You should know that almost every software is compatible with multiple devices as long as they run the same operating system ;) I know there are some exceptions, but most stuff will work..

Well I wasn't sure if this applied to PPC as well, cool! Guess I'll have to spend some quality time in the other forums as well :D

I use PhonePlus for SMS, try it from here: http://www.mesoftware.biz/phoneplusmain.htm

Need the additional keyboard for language support.
Any idea how to resolve the conflict?

Thanks

Dude this is basic stuff... ..open the CAB on your device, install on the Device not on the SD Card :)

[deniser]

Thanks, that is what I had been trying to do. Got it sorted now

I've tried the English and International versions (one at a time) but although the Phone Pad option appears in the input methods list, selecting it doesn't - the input method reverts to keyboard.

Any ideas?

hmmmmm Orange SPV M700? Running WM5?..... dump it and re-rom :)

[Merlin83b]

It's an M700, yeah.

Is that the only way to get it to work? I have no other complaints - why would I want to flash the phone?

[deech]

He he..... personal experience. I got Dial Pad to work.... but couldnt tell you how, and it was not stable, Orange seem to have got the machine so........ busy, screwed up, call it what you will, but it wouldnt go stable, you need SIP chooser ( I think) and DialPad international, and then some chicken bones and an amount of good luck

Flash the phone... de-brand the Orange gunk (unless you like it :) ) and get nice shiney and new WM6, with Dialpad already fitted :) Oh and stable, and no Lemon branding..... but thats just my opinion

[Merlin83b]

Flashed to WM6, working perectly so far! Probably a few things I haven't tried yet but it's all seeming good. Thanks for the nudge :)
