FREE CooTek TouchPal v1.0

[Guest James]

Yet another touch pad for your Windows Mobile 5/6 professional device. Grab it whilst its free! I have been using it for the last few days on my WM6 Eten X500 and am slowly getting used to it. :(

oh wow -- i've been using it now for a few minutes, and so far, it's my favorite on screen keyboard i've ever used!!

[Guest xorangefirex]

I've had it for a few days now, and I'm just glad to be able to do some one handed texting on my kaiser. Although the purpose of it was to allow me to multi task (text and drive) (Not safe) it has been slow going getting used to it. I hope once a week or so go by I will have gotten used to it, and will be able to text with one hand quickly and effectively. Thanks for the link though. Much appreciation.

[Guest Sonicr360]

Hmmmmm well im struggling with this :-(

What I would like is a keyboard, that looks like a phone pad, that can be used easily and one handed.

Dont seem to be able to change the layout of the pad to accomodate a normal mobile phone keypad.

Anyone?

You think? :(

I've tried this for about a week and gave up.

The theory is nice but, on my Touch at least, it was just too awkward.

I'm thinking about trying Tengo Thumb next, but TBH I still use the standard keyboard with the edge of my thumb with surprising success. It can be a bit awkward when changing gear or indicating, but hey... :D

[Guest bananas78]

Move this post if required.

I download and installed the touchpal cab to storage card, soft reset the device and went into settings>input and selected touchpal.

trouble is it will not change to touchpal, bizarre though only the keyboard option is available, the block reconiser, transcriber, etc are available but cannot change to them.

SPV M700, orange, happens on my friends phone aswell

???

[Guest Sonicr360]

Similar problem with TyTN II

Install in Main Memory, soft reset seemed to help. Do find occasionly that I need to reset the device more than I used to before this was installed.

[Guest creamhackered]

You gotta install it to the main memory. Never had a problem with this. V 2.0 will be out by the end of the month - definitely gonna purchase it :(

[Guest Sonicr360]

Does it come with larger keyboard layout (ie: key sizes to that of a samsung D900 or Nokia)

[Guest S710demon]

Free period is extended. New version coming end of the month.

[Guest NuShrike]

There really isn't a point to 1.0 IMHO. It has a resources bug where it becomes unavailable as a SIP after a short while meaning you can select it, but only the default keyboard pops up.

It's been many months since a fix was promised, so don't bother with this version.

I've never experienced this...!

[Guest Confucious]

Just seen this. Free version still available, maybe you could change the thread title James?

The default SIP problem has been arround for ages and affects lots of input methods and, I believe, there is a fix available at xda-devs so I'm not going to let that stop me trying it out!

[Guest mandt]

I seem to find you get this problem more when you install them to the card, try re-installing to main memory

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Yeah, always install SIPs to the Main Memory!
