Thanks for the suggestions, SIPChange is exactly what I want to be able to set PCM keyboard as default, but unfortunately whenver I install it my phone takes forever (and a day) to start up. The phone looks like it has loaded ok, but it is almost entirely unresponsive, not ideal!

Why is this? Is there a  workaround? Are there any other apps that have a similar functionality?

I thought Id add this to the sticky post here is my original (This has been tested by numerous people btw and works well)

Morning,

I have been having a read of the XDA forums and came across this. Installed it. soft reset.



and man what a difference to scrolling in PIE! its like night and day. Improved PIE and its usability 10 fold. Now I am able to scroll up and down large pages with ease and not have to experience the laggy effects that my t mobile touch plus was trying to force on me. If you do not know what i am talking about try scrolling through a large page i.e. a long one, when it hasn't finished loading or If you have pocket plus 4 and the smart scrolling enabled try scrolling with this before and after.

The full thread is here

Think you need to edit that Paul

"Nike Applications" ... I was expecting some running shoes ;-)

I too suffered severe startup performance problems after installing SIPChange....worked fine on VARIO 2 should be taken off the list?

Any other application thats free and does the same thing?

Is there an apps for PIE that you can zoom in, out and flip pages like the iPhone?

netfront does it along with the leaked version of opera..

ME too, SIP Change NAILED my device. T-Mobile Touch Plus.
