Default Keyboard during Phone Usage?

[bob_beringer]

All,

Can anyone provide me the tweak or registry key to allow for me to continue typing on the thumb board while on a phone call? (Presently while talking, the system defaults to the number pad while talking)

Any help would be appreciated. I have seen a couple threads about changing the default keyboard config, but not for this one directly.

Thanks,
Bob

what rom r u using

Using AP4, had the same issue with AP 3.0 as well. I assume that they would be different registry keys, but any help would be appreciated...

Interesting, so when you are in a call and you type an SMS or email at the same time, the "Y U I H J K B M N ." keys don't type numbers in their place? I would love to have the letters instead of only numbers. The numbers are a help in 2% of the cases, but for the most part, I want to type notes about phone calls and without having the thumb board working, I am stuck with the touchscreen and it is much slower for me.

Either way, I appreaciate your help :-)

i just tested to confirm and yes that is correct. i was on a call and i hit notes and started typing and it types letters not numbers. i am looking at the reg files now ;)

[irus]

i used windiff to see if i could find a difference but there were sooooo many i could not find it sorry.

[bob_beringer]

Thank you :-)

Does anyone else have any ideas on how to set the keyboard mode while talking on the phone?

Thanks,

I'm using original spanish ROM WM6 and I have the same problem.

Let's bump this thread up the date sort:

AP 3.0, still. I can't get letters with the kbd at all when in a call, so I end up using an on-screen, or translating whatever I typed after the call. It sucks. I thought the active prg would dictate what happens with the keys. ???

I must admit the convenience of the automatic switch when in the phone app is nice.

I'm not getting why some units do this and some don't, or if it might be that people aren't using thier keyboards during a call in a different app.

Reg key? Any better ideas?

On screen keyboard or hardware keyboard? On screen works fine, hardware not since WM6.

its important to me, i would love to type using thumb keyboard while talking, i can confirm that vanilla version of 6.1 does that too but its a beta rom and i like AP4, maybe the athena project people can inlight us about this matter and creat a patch for us to use

[Rabia]

for importancy am trying to keep this up, guys its doable, someone is required to just lead us, at least someone post me a clean (hard reseted) registery from a rom that works during call normally, and i will install it on my mobile (which doesn't type letters during call) if it works then at leaset we know its defenatly registry and there for i dedicate my life for it. any clean registry anyone can supply

PS am willing to Hard reset but not willing to reflash another rom am very tried from that business

If this drives you that nuts, then maybe you wouldn't mind doing a bit of investigation and sharing that with us?

Take a look at this registry key: HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyboardMapping

There are some subkeys there, ToNum and ToSD. I'm guessing that those are responsible for the letter remapping. Would you mind taking a look and letting us know? Thanks!

It also could be that it is deppendent on dialer used in your system. Some dialers can switch keybaord to numbers and some can not. It would be nice if those who can write letters during a call could tell us which dialer is in their system.

[bob_beringer]

HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch

Looks like this could be the ticket, will try to mess around with it and see if it makes any difference :-)

check out this thread, shows that it is really difficult to get the phone to accept changes, but that others are happy with the edits:

Let me know if anyone can apply the fix and solve this problem...
