Sense Keyboard (or other T9) on TG01

youbrokeit · Jan 31, 2010

The TG01 is definitely a bittersweet pill. For its omissions, it has added features... for its extra functionality, stuff seems to be left out. Does one balance the other? In my opinion, unfortunately not... as the most useful things seem to be the things missing. In particular, a good T9 / Predictive Keyboard Input!

So - whilst I'm mostly happy with the standard WM 6.5 UI (with SPB of course) - when it comes to texts and emails, this handset is, as it stands, as good as useless, whereas on my old TouchHD, the 'Phone Keypad' allowed me to text and email with ease.

So what about the HTC Sense 'Phone Keypad' or other integrated T9 input system? Has anybody tried any 3rd Party Input devices? As the first paragraph said, something 'cool' in place of something 'usable' - I can't text or email with the device, but I *can* plug in a full size USB keyboard. Great!!

All opinions and options greatly appreciated. Let's make this TG01 something really good to use!!

Well I did not try a 3rd Party Keyboard but I like the TouchPal Keyboard very much. You can choose in the settings the T9 input and it works very well for me.

TouchPal... right - I'll have to find that one and give it a workout.

Any others to mention? URLs / Screenshots would be useful too... this could be the definitive 'TG01 Keyboard Replacement' thread! Ha.

Having tried TouchPal, I, too am an advocate to it now, and am already considering PURCHASING it!! So it must be good, because I never part with cash for software!

Yes, in my opionen it's far the best virtual keyboard for Windows Mobile

So, go and purchase it. It's worth the money.

does it work on your HD2?
because it's says that is for (Q)VGA.

cmstackar · Feb 17, 2010

I actually have a Touch Diamond2 (TD2), sadly not an HD2, so it comes preinstalled. It has a VGA version that should work or WVGA. And here is a newer version that says it supports wvga :

Great Keyboard!

Thanks a lot! I managed writing in Greek with the finger keyboard.

TheShowStopper · Feb 28, 2010

I have found a cab of the new style HTC keyboard if it's of any use guys? I'll try and find a screenshot of it somewhere.

Found! -

How to install... straight onto mem card, install, reboot (if you want to but not needed) and bang on.

Shows up on list as... TOUCH INPUT. Works great on mine

That's what i'm after if anyone has it / can get hold of it? Pref in the same new design as in the screenshot i just added here but if it's the old style, that'll do to!

Thanks, TSS

Hey, thanks for that cab! It's awesome! Been looking for something like that for along time. Only problem is how to keep it as a default keyboard when you reboot your phone? It keeps defaulting back to Standard Windows Mobile small one...
Any ideas? Perhaps a Cab fix?
