[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmd512:
I tried that route. I went as far as contacting HTC technical support in Taipei, where HTC R&D is located. Got 0 help.

I believe when so many people complained for the Raphael wanting to permanently disable XT9 for physical keyboard, HTC assumed ALL people wanted XT9 disabled for physical keyboard and went this route. Totally stupid if you ask me, but it is what it is.

I forget now exactly which value, but I found 1 registry value to constantly default back to ABC mode everytime your screen goes into landscape and, in turn, everytime landscape SIP is engaged. This also forces the physical keyboard to be constantly be in ABC mode as well.

I'm not sure how this behavior can constantly force the a registry value to default in this manner, but it does.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nunorsilva:
I really don't understand. How difficult can it be to to set default ON (or OFF) for soft keyboard and ON (or OFF) to physical keyboard?

Man, these things get completely on my nerves...

Thanks for you "support"; at least I know that there is nothing we (as users) can do...

Let's wait for HTC support answer... (If they ever get to answer) :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nunorsilva:
I just got this reply from HTC support:

"... XT9 is off by default when using hte slide out keyboard, this is normal as using the full keyboard we anticipate most users do not use xT9..."

:mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmd512:
Yep, stupid. Same response I got. It's literally programmed into the keyboard out action/landscape mode.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nunorsilva:
Well, after insisting I got a new reply:

"... There is no way to switch the default without using 3rd party tools such as registry editors, which we cannot support..."

I'll try to find this out; I anyone does find something, please post!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmd512:
That won't do it either, because the behavior is tied to the landscape event. I've registry dived this issue for quite some time, this isn't going to be an easy registry toggle for sure.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lowspeed:
Man this is annoying.... i want it fixed too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] carhigh:
Another here wanting this fixed
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lbjohnny:
+1

One day a fix will present itself......
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lowspeed:
hmm weird report.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lowspeed:
Weird thing happened to me.... i did a partial data restore to my phone from sprite backup.

Now ever since when i open the keyboard its at xt9.

I did notice that the default keyboard is coming up now when i reboot (Stock windows mobile keyboard) if i want to have HTC's i need to select it from the pull up. (but it sticks until the next reboot)

So there must be some sort of setting that controls this and its not hard wired.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NoWorthWhile:
Any news on this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmd512:
Nope, we're screwed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NoWorthWhile:
Great...

Will check the registry later today, I'll report back if I find out something relevant.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sergioalegre:
Any hope for a solution? :o:o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmd512:
LOL, +1. I've filed "grievances" with just about every branch of HTC (from Taiwan since I speak Mandarin, to EU, to US). Maybe when I visit Taiwan later this year, I'll take my TP2 to HTC and throw it an engineer to get their attention...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] malibu_23:
any update on this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmd512:
No, we're screwed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AlarmClock:
I sent a message to HTC support about this.

I got this response

"Thank you for your reply, regarding your request, kindly be informed that unfortunately you will have to toggle the XT9 every time you use the keyboard, however, you can search on the Windows market place for any 3rd party applications that might help you solve this issue"

Then i asked wich 3rd party aplication could solve this...

"Regarding your request, unfortunately I can't recommend a specific application, you can kindly use the search option to check if there is an application that might help you with this issue."

So... no solution what so ever, and the help from HTC support was none.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shappy0869:
I suspect that if it could be done, someone on here would have already done it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
There has to be a setting, reading thru the msgs, someone said they got an email back from htc stating about a registry editor and they dont support that. Well if I was a betting man, he gave you the answer.

What I hate is that HTC should have made two settings, one for landscape mode and one for portrait mode, this way they would both stick. Once I setup portrait mode it stays exactly the way I want until I slide the keyboard out, once I do that Portrait mode touch keyboard settings are lost and it defaults back to a qwerty keyboard. They should make the option stick when you make the change until you change it again. I would rather XT9 portrait in portrait mode all the time. As for landscape, I can live with no XT9 popping up, it does slow down typing with the full HW keyboard. But I do support XT9 landscape without the HW keyboard exposed. HTC we know you read these forums.

Now Im sure most know this and isnt anything new I am saying but I went looking for this on my phone with CEReg Editor and go to the following location: "HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9" Changing the touch options change this location. Spell Correction changes Spell Correction Mode, Word Completion (XT9) changes Word Completion, Word Completion (ABC) changes Multitap Word Completion.

What I havent figured out yet is "Prediction" and "SelectionListType" changing these values to 1 had no effect. Also another thing I found very strange is Two folders below "Tegic" is a folder "XT9 Input Method" in that folder is the word "IMEmode" which is set to '0' I changed it to '1' and then reset the phone, and the setting went back to '0' which I found odd.

The only other things I found was HKLM\System\State\Keyboard 'DWord: CurrentInputMode' "1"

Hope this helps, going to check my Original Tilt and see if I can find anything helpful, cause my Fuze did the same thing that the tilt2 did so thats of no use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Warren17c:
I'm no builder, but couldn't some thing like this happen...

a cab that runs off a keyboard slide out trigger, changes the reg settings to activate XT9?

there must be some trigger, as it flips the screen to landscape. That is my only theory on this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steviewevie:
You can also get the phone to make a sound when you slide the keyboard out, so there's definitely a trigger there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] seanvree:
Any update this, it's killing me!!! There has to be a simple CAB someone can cook up!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Plantje:
Same here! I'm also looking for this. And a colleague of mine is doing the same!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deeznuts:
You would think
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jago-k1:
BUMP for this :p Been trying to figure out something as well with no luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
Here are the two keys that change when you turn XT9 On and Off ..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]

"TextInputMode"=dword:00000001

"ContextAwareGlobal"=dword:00000001

1=on

0=off

NOTHING CHANGES In The Entire Reg. Other Then The Two Keys.

Here is a cab to change them .. but I dont think It Will Do Any good :(

Not sure But If you could make the two keys read only :/ Then It Might.

Or you could copy the cab or a reg. ver to your startup folder so if you do reset it will automatically

change it for you :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] seanvree:
Anyone try this? does it work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmd512:
No, trust me. Those Global values reset everytime you slide the physical keyboard, that's why this issue is so F'd up!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
maybe htc will realize something and fix it in a new build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
did anyone ever figure this out? cause i want it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Plantje:
Nope...no one figured it out! I want it too...but hey...if it is not possible :(

I checked on another forum if the T-Mobile ROM perhaps has this enabled, but on those devices one has the same problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] masrterk:
Problem Solved use diamond tweak it works

HTC touch pro

diamond tweak

option 20.2 keyboard on display mode t9 active..

diamond tweak

xt9 now work every time :)

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sexkgp:
Cud u plz elaborate....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Darkstonian:
Disable eT9. Enable COMP IME. This is a registry edit.

Go to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409

Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll

Layout Text = COMP IME

Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9

Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0

That will bring you back to the good old word suggestion and dynamic auto completion.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Darkstonian:
Also, you can use the advanced config tool to get rid of the 4 suggested words, and just have dynamic auto completion by itself. Make sure you have .NET 3.5 framework for the advanced config tool to work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:

I you are feeling really generous please consider donating by clicking here

Thanks

Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wiz0floyd:
Thanks for making such a great app.

So far, I haven't been able to get the Birthday Sync to work. Would it matter if my friends have their birthdays hidden?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:
Hi, thanks for your support.

Facebook just return the birthday as a string made up of all the parts the friend has allowed access to. I attempt to parse that and only update if a full date can be found.

So sorry if people are hiding their year of birth they wont update.

Mike
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlofea:
Does what it says on the tin.

Very nice, and very useful. Thank you for making this available.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Robrecht:
This looks very very good -- and I've tried every "Facebook to Outlook or Windows Mobile" app out there.

Really looking forward to:

* Higher resolution contact photo's

* Ability to select which of the matched contacts get sync'ed (so "matched" doesn't equal "sync'ed")

* Option to not sync pictures (if you just want to sync birthdays, for instance): I have a number of friends whose Facebook profile pictures aren't as nice as the contact pictures I've given them... :-)

If you find the time:

* More things to sync, like home address, work, Facebook groups to Outlook categories... (if possible)

* Individual sync settings for each contact that are stored for future sync'ing so it can really be used as an automated process.

These are just to inspire you, it's not a list of demands! :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:
Thanks

The pictures being sync'd are the highest quality pics that can be sync'd. Facebook gives you a few options to select from (square, small, big, normal), from feed back from mainly htc users I select the biggest picture possible to sync with. This is dependent on the image that the friend uploads of course.

Your other point about selecting which contacts to sync has been mentioned before. I plan to redesign the UI to include this. I'm an asp.net/win forms developer who originally wrote booksync for myself and decided to release it then it took on a mind of its own from feedback etc.

The redesign of the UI may take a bit of time as I learn so will be included in future release.

I will investigate how much can be sync'd.

Would really love for phone number and email address but these are not available.

Thanks for your feedback its just what I was after :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nagrom Nniuq:
Nice work. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
Wow. Ill give it a roll. Looking forward to the update you mention with choosing which pictures

Outlook Birthdays (if not given the year can be done by adding the "current year" but that should also be optional. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
I have tried it and loving it.

I only have to fix the file as after I am done syncing.

It would also be nice to import facebook contacts as well even if it is just a link to their web adress such as www.facebook.com/friend that way the contacts can be integrated into PIE as well.

any chance you also use myspace?

I have been switching over, but some of my friends have not. In fact, I have a lot more friends on myspace than on FaceBook.

thanks for sharing this great app. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:
Thanks.

Will look at working create contacts into a future release.

As for myspace I will have to do some investigating around their api (if they have one) I dont use myspace so not played around with it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lawsofpower48:
i installed it but uninstalled it on my htc touch pro...it worked once for me then it kept on crashing. i never got it to work since the first sync..not sure why...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:
Sorry to hear you're having a problem, did you get any sort of error message?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dashraider:
i got the same problem it crashes right after it tries to login
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
I got a minor problem of the login page not really fitting on my QVGA screen and no scroll bars to adjust. the size of the fonts are good, but I have to use the tab key to select the password and logn button. also have to fix file as in my contacts.

Login page needs the most work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lawsofpower48:
yea it says some type of program error and crashes...other then that it worked nicely on the first try....but until this is fixed i will wait again...great work on it tho..i just wished that it synced everything that the fonebook app does which works similar
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fazered:
Having some issues as it looks like everything is fine but it just sits with the "Syncing..." message on screen but does nothing, even after half an hour.

I was hoping to remove the link to the first contact in case it's just his contact causing the issue but I can't see a way. I ven uninstalled but it's retained the link. Where are the settings stored so I can start from fresh?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Robrecht:
Hi,

The picture quality is actually pretty ok. Much better than what you get when adding pictures in (desktop) Outlook.

Thanks for considering my suggestions. The option to select which of the matched contacts are sync'ed will be a great enhancement, I hope you get it done.

What would also make me happy is the option not to sync pictures, and being able to choose this for each contact individually... some of my friends have really ugly profile pics. :-)

Creating new contacts from unmatched Facebook friends, as someone suggested, is a really good idea as well. Somehow your program feels really promising. I think that's why a lot of people are rooting for you to make it into a full-fledged Facebook-to-Contacts sync solution (not just pictures). Too bad Facebook doesn't make phone numbers and e-mail adresses available, but well, that's how it is. :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Robrecht:
One more thing... From time to time, Booksync stops working: it starts up, tries to log in, then throws an error each time.

I noticed that by removing the <SessionKey> line from the settings file, I could get the program working again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blantoncg:
?

Where is the BookSync Settings file
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Robrecht:
It's under 'Program Files/BookSync' and is called 'settings.bss'. Removing the entire settings file would work too, but then you'd have to re-match all you contacts. If you only delete that single line in a simple text editor, you can keep the rest of your settings.

Hope it works for you too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeremy89632:
Mike, been using this booksync app for sometime now.

I wish to suggest that, can this application have an -autopilot- mode?

Which means, it lookups for your friends number in facebook and matches the number on your phone and sync the pictures (not the name) across.

Thanks,

Jeremy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cruiserrr:
Works great on my polaris.

Another suggestion: could it be possible also to update other data from the facebook contacts (mostly phone numbers)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roisagi:
20 % eorking, and 80 % not.

i get the attached error message.

i have a touch pro, wm 6.5

any advise?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pmtan666:
I think many of the folks have complained about this issue.

I think I have found the problem, it is due to the regional setting bug on booksync.

If you set the regional language to English (US), this will resolve the issue.

At the same time, the birthday update will becomes correct as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:
Sorry facebook won't let developers access to this information, I agree it would be great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:
Doh! my bad should be more invariant with date formats, will take a look
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:
Thats already there if you call booksync.exe -q it will perform a silent update from a schedule app or something.

This will only sync names.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roisagi:
i hoped this will slve the problem as well - but not:

still getting the same error

any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chronodrago:
i was getting a slew of that error as well and also i never seemed to be able to sync my contacts. i usually did the sync through an activesync connection, but i dont think that should have any efffect... any ideas as to why nothing get synced? the app definitely was connecting to facebook
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pmtan666:
Can you try these steps:

1) Set the regional language to English (US).

2) Soft Reset the phone

3) remove the .bss file (This is to make sure it run the 1st time)

4) run booksync.

5) try running booksync again to see it will still run?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DarkRay_:
I've seen this list in the wiki-developer of facebook

What is the client library you use for the program developed further?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:
I did look at available libraries but some didn't conform to the fb polices and the others were slow so I took the best of each bits and wrote my own.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeapple:
Update 1.E

Its been a while since my last post on here but I just thought I would update to let you know development has been ongoing and we are now on 1.E.

Lots of updates including new UI and many bug fixes (around regional stuff) and the option to sync names and well lots of things take a look

http://www.booksync.co.uk

support and feedback welcome on the facebook page

http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=76086365560

Enjoy :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Raptordin:
Wow, very nice indeed.

Hats off for your work indeed, this tool is the one that I might revert back to stock rom for.

I only used Coocked Roms so I can sync my contacts with FaceBook with the new Manila but Now I can go back easy.

I would Gladly Purchase the tool from your web site but I am from Egypt and Paypa does not support Egypt which hinders a lot of people like me from purchasing stuff online or donating to chefs that realy deserve it for their hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] debalex:
I'm trying to get it to work, but the phone contacts won't show up so I can't sync, any suggestions? :S really like the idea behind the app so really hoping it would work :S
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mariobl:
when i attempt to install netcfsetupv35 on my phone i get message on the screen that that program is already installed on my ROM, and i can't start booksync aplication it gives me error message also, it writes me netcfv35.messages.en.wm.cab for win mobile 5.0. and above or netcfv35,messages.en.cab for other platforms. restart aplication to see the message.
