Old Skool one-handed TXT messaging! :D

[petermg]

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!

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!!!

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.

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'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?

yea, remove t9 and it will work...i mean completely remove. there is a cab that will remove t9 functionality totally

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......

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?
