you're talking about when the hardware keyboard is used, right?

Trust me..I have tried it all! Going to options, then T9 settings and checking off the "Word Completion in ABC mode" box. No matter what..if you're using the slide out keyboard, the full qwerty keyboard, or the regular keyboard it WILL NOT suggest any words. You know how on the mogul..you would type a word then a square little window would pop up to the right of it with 4 suggestions..this is what I'm talking about & it is not working. Really wanna straighten this out because it was extremely useful..way better than T9!! PLEASE HELP!!

mine is working with the onscreen keyboard, but not the hardware keyboard -- they only thing i want to use it for is auto-correction -- things like capitalizing "I" and putting apostrophes in words like "can't" and "don't"

My girlfriend was complaining about this today. I'm also looking for a fix to get suggestions/auto correct with the hardware keyboard.

Make the registry changes in this post:

It gives me the auto-correction and word suggestion like on older phones. This will also work with the hardware keyboard, but make sure you don't have "Cleartype on landscape mode" enabled or you won't be able to see the word suggestions.

If you are using the new Touch keyboards, it seems you also have to go in and enable Spell/Word Completion and Auto-Substitution in their options too. Activate the keyboard, click on the little up arrow to bring up the settings, click on Touch Input Settings and check every item there (Spell Correction, Word Completion, Auto-Substitution) that you want to use. It also seems like you have to set the keyboard ABC/T9 switch to T9. This may mess up the Compact Qwerty keyboard -- all I can get now are numbers. But it does work the the Full Qwerty keyboard.

In case you want to switch back to the original settings, here they are:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409]
"Ime File"="\\windows\\eT9ime.dll"
"Layout Text"="eT9 IME"
"Keyboard Layout"="00000409"

Anyway, here are the registry files for the original and new settings. You need to have a registry editor to import them. You may have to soft reset after making the changes.

ya..that totally did the trick! tweaking the registry. Wow, thank you lots!! my registry has this setting:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409]
"Ime File"="\windows\compime.dll"
“Keyboard Layout”=”00000409”
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"

& everything works like a charm now..really appreciate it!!

[chachimus]

ohhhh..spoke to soon! Now I can't use the full qwerty (just numbers)! How annoying!!

hmm, All I did to get T9 to work on the slide out keyboard was press the function key and then the space bar (which has T9 in green). Then switch the setting from ABC to T9 English and I was good to go.

I'm good again! I took the "Keyboard Layout" string out and after I did a soft re-set I realized I had a problem so I tried to put it back. That didn't work so I just set the registry values the way they were originally, soft re-set, then ONLY modified the "Ime File" & the "Layout Text" and LEFT the "Keyboard Layout" THE WAY IT WAS. Now it's working perfect and I"m done!

i find that the predictive text and auto-correction works well with the slide out keyboard but you have to select T9 onscreen first. it's nice to have the option
