Problem with Touch Keyboard & Keypad

[badaccent]

Hello folks,
I have installed the HTC Touch Keyboard & Keypad (from Duttys CAB repository) on my Kaiser. It has the standard german HTC ROM. The device has not been flashed or otherwise modified.

However, I can not input anything with the Touch Keyboard or Keypad. They do not accept any input, not even the touch of the screen is registered. Nothing! The standard WM6 keyboard works just fine.

What could that be?

Could it be that the Touch Keyboard and -pad only work properly on English ROMs? I have a german ROM after all.

Any thoughts on this?

I noticed that this happens once I select a different language from English.
Probably the dictionaries are not available.

OK, can I somehow get the Touch keyboard to work? Can I disable the dictionaries somehow? I would really like to test the touch keyboard...

Or can someone provide a german CAB file?

[YYYYY]

Thanks, but unfortunately that does NOT describe the problem I have. The guy there can not change to any other 3rd party input methods. I can do this.

I can select the Touch KB and KP as default input method. I can also open it with no problem. I just can not input anything using the Touch Keyboard or Touch Keypad!

I suspect this is due to the ROM version. I have a german ROM, the Touch KB seems to be a english (?) version.

Does someone have a german version I could try?

Or other ideas? I am open for pretty much any advice!

OK, I have my answer.

I have set up two emulated WM6 Professional, one German, one English.

--> In the German ROM I experience the problems described above.
--> In the ENglish ROM everything works just fine. The Heyboard behaves as expected.

=====> Therefore, the HTC Touch Keyboard found in Duttys CAB repository does NOT work with non-english ROMs.

Can someone cook a CAB that works with german ROMS?

I encountered exactly the same problem on a HTC Kaiser with German ROM - inputs work fine while having selected english, while selection of german doesn't give any reaction at all while typing. Interestingly, number input DOES work even "in german", thus I also suppose it must have to do with the english CAB version.

Therefore I'd also be glad to see some solution to this problem.

Thanx!

Hi! Does anybody have a solution to this problem jet?

[badaccent]

It does not seem so.

I have "solved" the keyboard problem unconventionally: I have sold the Kaiser. :rolleyes: Now I am waiting for a Touch Cruise from amazon.de

Thanks for the quick reply! Have fun with your Touch Cruise!! :-)
