If (like my better half) you have a HTC Touch Dual 12 key, then you've probably come across the REALLY annoying bug whereby when you press the button to get an 'a', it bizarrely defaults to a 'c'. And then, you input the 'a' a few times to teach it to use that instead of a 'c', and in no time it forgets it again. DOH!

Well, help is at hand in the form of the 'MoDaCo Touch Dual 'c to a' fix' :) As the name suggests, installing this tiny little CAB onto your device will resolve this issue, and you'll be sending messages that now make sense to people in no time. Hurrah!

Enjoy, and post here how it works out for you!

Haha, yes, it annoyed me too, but when the missus makes it an issue, it has to be fixed right? :)

Interesting - after installing it I got a W????

Doing a soft reset sorted it out though - phew!

You should get a restart prompt after running the CAB, else soft reset manually!

Didn't get a restart prompt here I'm afraid.

All good now though.

A bit of mooching around in the windows directory revealed a text file that seems to be imported into the dictionary at startup. A few tweaks to that and hey presto :)

Thanks paul, just 2 things :

1) does it fix anything for a 20-key keyboard ?
2) if not, where is the text file in \windows please ? that way i could finally tweak my french touch dual which constantly mistakes my 20-key azerty keyboard for a qwerty one...
