SMS To: field autocomplete?

sebo · #1 (**permalink**) 04-02-2008, 07:31 PM

does anyone elses To: field have an autocomplete list of contact names as you're typing them?

mines doesn't and i haven't been able to figure out where to enable it.

i tried the registry hack:

HKLM>System>Inbox>RecipientAutoComplete and change value of the DWORD MaxSuggestions.

it has no affect though.. anyone care to help?

Are you using the Touch keyboard? I remember reading about issues with other keyboards not bringing up that option.

yeah i just did a quick google search and it appears it's because XT9 disables this option.. question is, how to disable Xt9 to get this feature enabled again.

i used the standard windows keyboard.

i found this which has no resolution though.

been wondering the same thing myself since I started using the touchpal keyboard. It is a bit of a nuisance to click on menu then add recipient every time I want to text a new person.

your fears are over, i found out how to work around this.. i learned that i usually waste my time posting here asking questions only to always find the solution myself.

the culprit is Xt9, when it's enabled it disables sms name lookup, so disable XT9 and whalla.

instructions... browse registry:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\Ime File

set the Ime File value from \windows\eT9ime.dll to compime.dll

soft reset device.

Just tried that and it doesn't work for TouchPal.

My Touch Keyboard would auto-complete and now after making this change it still does, it just does it differently.

I tried it and it did work with TouchPal. You just need to either add or delete the space after you enter the name and it comes up with a list!
Thanks!

That's funny that you mentioned hitting the delete button after entering the name because it works without doing the registry hack above.

I wondered why it worked sometimes and not others.

Thanks for the info.
