Hi geo If you see an icon with numbers "123" in the title bar - then XT9 (text input program) is in number mode. Press and hold the star key "*â, the XT9 menu will popup, select the desired mode. Regards
I dont have an xt9 symbol on the title bar neither numbers when i hit in today screen switches to phone when in word or messaging nothing happens when i press * i have upgraded to 1.00.0.3 bootloader fw 0.81 i dont recall if i had the xt9 symbol on 1st boot i switched the regional settings to english nothing changed should i use factory recovery?
Iâm happy to help No need to use factory recovery. Open the Input Settings (Start/Settings Personal tab then Input) select XT9 as your Input method. Yes, pressing the * key will only pop up the XT9 menu when XT9 is selected as the input method (unless you use a registry tweak :) and it must also be in text entry mode â a blinking cursor. I found on my 614 (Bootloader Version: MP-1.00.0.1) that the XT9 features (word completion, correction, next word prediction) only worked when XT9 was the input method also the default on screen keyboardâs word-completion features did not work (I suspect it was disabled perhaps by XT9â¦) Anyway I got XT9 to work with Microsoftâs on screen keyboard (I prefer it to the XT9 keyboard) by using that tweak.
When you get XT9 working â to get symbols press and hold the # key. In word pressing the return key closes word! I wish it started a new line like in outlook and text messages â you need to press the thumb wheel to start a new line in word.
Hi geo The strange A's with symbols in my mail were meant to be dashes and apostrophes, it is a paste error.
The problem may be with pcm keyboard, I'm not sure if it can recognise key presses on the keypad. When you open word and enter text with pcm keyboard do you have a keyboard icon on the bottom bar or the XT9 symbol? Does the default on-screen keyboard work? (you can change input methods by tapping on the small triangle right next to the keyboard or other input icon on the bottom bar). Try to get keypad and XT9 working with the pcm keyboard uninstalled.
Press and hold the hash key (not the 3 key) to pop up symbol selection, this will work when you can enter text and XT9 is active.
I know you can get numbers but check Start/Settings on the System tab tap Keyboard, make sure the keyboard is not disabled.
