Hello,
Newbie here, P1i user. I got some questions regarding handwriting feature, it took quiet slow before it 'recognizes' my handwriting. On some P1i units, theres this option to adjust the sensitivity of handwriting, but...theres none in my phone.
Tried updating the software via update but did'nt fix the problem.
Can anyone help me on these? Please
Thanks |

I don't know about the adjustment of sensitivity(never found that feature) but the slowness might happen if your phone does something else at that point-playing music,internet traffic,etc which might take the juice from the processor. Try to type with the keyboard and see if it's a difference:they both use a program to run and the recogn one is just more demanding.

Haven't heard of an option to adjust the sensitivity, but I've never experienced slow handwriting recognition input. Not on P990 and not on W960 (which is actually faster and better at this than P990).

I think he's talking about the touchscreen calibration in the service menu. |

The screen calibration has nothing to do with writting recogn.

I had a thought that this was what he meant by sensitivity, but yeah well, that doesn't really have anything to do with this

Well.....TS calibration maps the sensitivity and accuracy of stylus input on the TS, doesn't it ?
So maybe a poorly calibrated / sensitised setup does affect HWR.
Anyhow, I've never experienced slow HWR on an Pxx phone, so not sure what's going on here.
Of course, one assumes the OP is using the handwriting defaults suggested by the user manual, and not expecting the phone to recognise his unique cursive scrawl

Even though I've freed my RAM (no other application is running on the background), the problem still persists. But with using the keyboard, its ok.
On this particular unit that I've tried, its the one with chinese character appearing on top of the screen (mine is arabic characters), there is a handwriting sensitivity adjustment, this is seen when composing a new SMS by pressing the 'more' button.
Could this be a problem on the handwriting recognition software itself????
Because Ive notice that in the control panel>device>text input>handwriting, ther e is this option to setup handwriting, but upon clicking there appears "nothing to setup" . Thus, handwriting setting couldnt be change??
Please give me your thoughts on this one.
Thanks

Really,I don't think you can't set up anything on hand writing recogn. Just use it as it is. Actually,since I had the M600i and now the P1i,I never use the HWR,just the keyboard which is awesome, so much better than the hwr!

I also use only keyboard or onscreen keyboard and I think those are faster inputs than the handwriting recognition.

..there is a menu- item in the handwriting recognition of some sort. It reads 'nothing to set up', or something like that on my phone.
But I had the same problem with slow hw- recognition a while back. And it disappeared when I disabled the dictionary. Eventually the phone would hang when I typed something starting with an 'h'. I've no idea how it happened, but maybe it was some sort of problem with the two dictionaries - number of entries, or size on the buffer or something like that (it saves longer words, maybe it was a parser problem with special characters on different charsets, or something?).
Anyway. I changed to wg1 (from /92) after that - never saw it again. |

I did have the same exact problem, I've tride both P1 and W960 HWR with having the ability to chose inputing arabic or english(once on a time) characters from the more menue as he said.
And I was wondering too about this thing because it's killing me, I have thought it might be because of the arabic HWR software and i just want to make sure that this is whats all about.
So please anyone who had used (P800, P900 or P910), can you confirm that the HWR in UIQ3 has the same great performance they used to have it in UIQ2?
Thanks in Advance. |

After using UIQ since the P800 I've become expert at Jot and much quicker than keyboard entry.
Have had all the SE UIQ devices except the P1i, now having the W960i. I can say that the W960i is just as good if not better than on the others so would imagine the P1i will be the same. |
