Lightbulb Old Skool one-handed TXT messaging! :D

Are you TIRED of almost crashing because you feel obligated to respond to some TXT your woman sent you (or man) while you are driving? So you try to respond but you only have a FULL QWERTY (YEA!) hardware keyboard or software version or some hyped up keyboard that still requires the use of TWO HANDS no matter how COOL it looks? Well for those of you in this situation, I have the SOLUTION!!!

Now you can txt/type like you did way back in 1985 when your cell phone was just a phone with txting and you could ONLY txt using one hand!!! First you want a SIP KEYPAD or PHONEPAD. Here is a GREAT ONE!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
Also there is a cab that makes the keypad default to T9 rather than ABC, which is what I use.

Also I recommend using the Touchback cab, it makes your phone vibrate when you press one of the keypad buttons! Only takes up 4k!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478407


I have attached three cabs that I use. But you can check out all the options via the links I provided!

Hope this helps! I had my titan for a long time and would spend a lot of time on the road and had to ignore a lot of txt messages because of my dilemma. Wish I knew about this 9 months ago!

Have fun txting!

I believe that all of out TP come with this keyboar already. And the vibration is added by touch response.

I might be mistaken, but my TP has had it since day 1.

Re: Old Skool one-handed TXT messaging! :D

I'm using might 4.17. When I choose the phone keyboard, I can only press numbers. I tried changing it from ABC to t9, but I still can only press numbers. Anybody else having this problem? Any fix?

Re: Old Skool one-handed TXT messaging! :D

I text one handed all the time using the Cootek TouchPal KB & T+

I never use the hardware KB in my TP, I find TouchPal with T+ is MUCH faster......

That is correct, all three of my TouchPro's came with these sip KB's as standard equipment, you don't have to add them.....

I would try to avoid that myself.

We had a horrendous accident here last year where five High School girls where killed in a head on crash with a tractor trailer (the car burst into flames) on their way to a graduation party at a Summer cottage.. The cell records showed later that a text had been sent from the drivers phone 30 seconds before the crash............

Oh ok. Thanks. that never occurred to me until you said it just now. What would I do without you? Yes sir I will not txt so as not to scare you while I'm driving.

Texting + driving= idiot, flame me all you want but the fact remains the same.

isn't TouchPal the one where you have to swipe your fingers different directions to activate different characters? If that is the one I'm thinking of I cant do it. Never seem to get the swipes exactly right....unless there is another way of using it?
