Just one small bug, with this new keyboard the password keyboard isn't coming up it's still using the standard keyboard(XT9/ABC). I use remote desktop apps a lot and some apps only recognize the password keyboard. I know there was a similar problem in v17/v18 which you did fix so hoping it's the same fix for this.

Other than that it's great.

It should still use the 20 key keyboard, but when you type, it should display the letter and then hide it with the *.

Is there anything I can do in the registry to force the old style password keyboard up? Right now the only thing working for my main remote desktop s/w (logmein) is the super ghetto built in WM keyboard...and it's not very finger friendly!

At a minimum you should be able to use the HTC Full qwerty board.

I don't use the software so can't comment.

If that was the case believe me I would not have even made a comment about it. I tried downloading other keyboard cabs but it seems like nothing has fixed it--and using the WM 'keyboard' sucks! I know you mentioned using a different Vogue Keyboard before than the ones floating around here, would you mind posting it. I really want to try fix this on my own rather than bug you for a revision.

For your reference I also dug up a post regarding your fix with it before in case it can jog your memory on a possible fix for the issue:

I used the keyboard from Alltell ROM and it is a little different. On some password fields it stays in the xt9 keyboard and briefly shows the letter you typed before changing it to a start ( on Windows Messenger ). On PIE, it went to the full qwerty board.

I am making a few other minor changes as well and then will release a patched v19.

This new KB behaves like the alltell one did, but your 19.1 release reverted to the classic keyboard which fixed the problem. At least I'm hoping that's all you did in which case I can just grab that specific cab from you.

Either way, many thanks for your help!

Hey Derek, I have a bad memory. Quick question, have you always used the thick bars for the signal bar? Or have you just switched to that recently?

Anyone know how to switch it back to the thin bars?

i think he has usually had the thin ones, and there is a sprint customization cab that you can run that i heard of once that changes that and a few other things...google it? idk...

I will second this. I downloaded and installed 20.1 the hour it was posted and I have had absolutely no lockups. GPS has worked within under 30 seconds (Live Maps is amazing for tracking via GPS and giving turn by turn directions). I've talked on the phone extensively on the handset and via bluetooth headset for long periods of time - no issues or dropped calls. I've been browsing the internet with Opera Mobile 9.5 and get calls just fine while browsing. No real issues at all. Fantastic work.
