Okay, so I have tried searching for answer to my question, but 90 minutes of reading later, and I'm still no closer to an answer.
I have been tyring to use SIP changer with the HTC Keyboard/keypad (from Dutty's cab collection). When I perform a soft reset, the home page loads and then hangs for about 20 secs, and then displays the 20key keypad on the home page. Until the keypad comes up, the device becomes completely unresponsive and once the keypad is there, I have to click somewhere else on screen to clear it.
First question: anyone know how to fix this? It doesn't happen if I use eg Touchpal as my default input method. I have tried changing the "default delay" time but it makes no difference.
Your help is appreciated.....
EDIT: Just to clarify, I am using SIP change by Sleuth, in case there are other programs out there with the same name.
EDIT2: Removed question 2 regarding complete removal of SIP change as I managed to work it out myself. Question 1 still remains though as, without SIP change, default SIP reverts to standard keyboard, rather than Keypad.
Hi there,
I have the some problem, always when I soft reset my Kaiser the HTC Keyboard/Keypad 20 keys appears on screen of the today screen and I have to touch somewhere to the keyboard disappear.
Any tweak for this situation.
Tks.
After a pretty nasty crash recently (screen turned to interference then total power off), I restored from my SPB backup (thank goodness for that software!)
Since then, the Dutty and HTC touch keyboard + default keyboard haven't worked right, and even re-installing the cab's seems to cause it not to be sorted.
Moreso, if I try and reboot after trying to re-install then the device locks up and never gets to the windows mobile boot screen, so I assume something is getting corrupted somewhere and causing windows not to boot.
So, can anyone please advise how to manually (since the uninstall/remove programs doesn't work in this case) remove the applications:
'duttythroy Default TouchKeyboard.cab'
'HTC Touch Keyboard + Keypad.cab'
Or advise how to extract the cabs and figure this problem out!
A bit of extra info, if it 'thinks' the keyboard/keypad is installed, I can see it in the list of keyboards available to me, but if I pick it, I get the default keyboard and the menu jumps back (I'm guessing it realised the touch keyboard/keypad wasn't working so defaulted back).
Thanks for any advise!

To me, it sounds like your backup is the problem. Hard-reset and use the keyboards without restoring your files first. If they work then some application/file in your backup is causing the problem.
I can't choose my input method anymore. I selected the normal keyboard, and when I click te small arrow to select another method the keyboard just dissapears.
The only way to change it now is to use the program SipChange I found on this board but I would like to know how I can enable the "quick" switching again.
I looked into HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip\AllowChange and the value is "1"
I really don't want to hard-reset because I just spend a whole afternoon configuring my Diamond and installing apps
Good news is that it is definitely a registry issue. I had the same (arrow should activate HTC custom thumb sized menu of SIPs, but does nothing) and a simple registry restore (spb Backup) fixed it. So, no idea what registry key the issue was (also checked AllowChange first) but it's there somewhere...
Not sure what caused it tho; installed TouchPal several tiems, but when I reinstalled after fix it was all good so can't blame TouchPal just yet...
Yeah I don't have a registry backup
For now I'm using sip changer but it's not very easy so I hope I can get it fixed without hard-reset
Anyone? It's starting to get very annoying working like this

Anyone? Just happened to me too!
Don't believe I've changed much on my phone since it was last working correctly.
I seem to be having an issue now and then when I start typing in landscape mode, the phone switches back out to the landscape home screen. I have to switch back to the app while in landscape mode in order for me to continue.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
Thanks!
thank God i've found someone who has similar problem like me! hopefully someone can guide us how to solve this problem.. many thanks!
I get the same problem, it does it in all different programs.
yeah, but it's odd because it only happens after some time of usage. Once I restart the phone, it seems to be ok again.
Well I must say that's why I've quit using RomeOS' ROM's, I had the same issue but not on the PROVEN ROM so I'll continue to use that one...
I have this problem, too. I'm using the stock att rom. Instead of rebooting to fix, you can just disable and re-enable tf3d.
It's also worth noting that a guy I work with just got a new fuze, and he has this problem as well. He hasn't installed anything on the phone yet, so that proves it's a problem with tf3d.
How i fixed mine...
This happend to my when I tried to install a different
HTCvolumeControl.dll
Maybe your rom has a bad HTCvolumeControl.dll
Try deleting HTCvolumeControl.dll and the rom will re-create after a restart.
If that doesn't work... maybe the rom has a bad HTCvolumeControl.dll
i have the same problem.. and i havent installed anything on my phone yet!
i have the same problem too,(i am running the stock att rom) mine switches back to portrait them back to landscape and back again a couple of time before stopping, i tried restarting a it works fine for a couple of minutes then it happens again, any help will be much appreciated
it has something to do with the customer taskbar icons, i only fixed it after removing sdkcerts, and the custom icons i had.

Thanks for sharing.. Would you mind to explain more detail?.. where is the "sdkcerts" ?
yeah, share information with us =)
I can't believe more people aren't talking about this problem. I deleted HTCvolumeControl.dll with no luck. I also uninstalled sdkcerts and even my custom icons. The problem still comes back. A second guy I work with got a fuze, and his has this problem straight out of the box. So that's 3 that I personally know of.
To clarify, the programs don't actually close, they just lose focus when the keyboard is opened, and then go into the background as the landscape menu comes to the front. Today, I noticed that opera goes to the background when I rotate my phone... the screen turns to landscape, then the task bar shows up, then it kicks back to tf3d.
Another way to test if the problem is happening is to goto the messaging tab, click to create a new message, then just open the keyboard. Sometimes I start typing, and then the phone comes up accepting the keys I'm typing. Then the landscape menu comes up on top of that.
I also changed my registry to disable landscape mode in tf3d. I thought that solved the problem (I didn't miss having the stupid landscape menu), but it still happened, only when I opened the keyboard, the phone came up. If I didn't hit any keys, it would disappear and whatever program I was in would come back. That was only slightly less annoying than before.
The past 2 days, I've been constantly testing to see if the problem was happening (restarting tf3d makes it stop for a while), and it didn't happen for 2 straight days. It started again today, and I hadn't touched my phone since I had last tested for the problem. In between that time, I received 2 emails. I didn't test before I opened the emails, but one had a link that I clicked on, and then the problem happened in Opera when I rotated the phone. So something happened when I either received the email, opened the email, or clicked the link to goto Opera.
I'm sure if we can pinpoint exactly what is causing this problem to start happening after a restart, we can fix it... or figure out some sort of workaround. So to anyone that has this problem, please post as many details as you can about what apps you were running or anything that could help determine the root cause of the problem. Only then can a fix be developed. I'm already digging all over the registry trying to find something to change that would fix this, but it's hard to fix something when you don't know what's causing the problem.
Is this only a fuze problem or are other TPs are experiencing this??
just to confirm im having the same problem on the normal version of the Touch pro (stock ROM)
a little pointer too: When you want to send an sms do the following. Start new sms, open the keyboard. Then WAIT a second (dont start typing immediately). Then start typing.
For some reason this does not seem to exit my messaging. If i start typing immediately it sometimes closes
To remove sdkcerts, download the .cab here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=67540&d=1201425248
i have a very similar problem that's been driving me crazy!!! on my TP everytime i slide out the keyboard when i have an app open in which i choose to type via the keyboard, my dialer pops up!!! The exact same thing happens as soon as i slide it back away. Very frustrating is the "g" rated way of describing this issue. FYI - even had this problem before any installations on a brand new device fresh out of the box.
yes.. i'm having that dialer problem too.. everytime i open my keyboard even in SMS mode or Opera, my dialer will pop-up.. very annoying...
i've also tried disable TF3D and use normal Today screen, the dialer problem and programs exit problem when opening the keyboard are still happen !!! wtf is wrong with the landscape mode??!! i've tried searching anything can be edited in registry but i'm too afraid i'm going to break my TP or cause me to hard reset
to all experties, pls help us...
p/s: i'm using stock ROM, for all custom made ROM users, do these problems happen to u? ...

Hey Guys,
I own an ATT Tilt and the hardware keyboard has been giving me problems. When ever i press the space button it selects the right soft key option and goes into contacts and then starts dial 2547 and god knows what. Basically I can't really use the keyboard, its not just the space bar problem ,there are some other keys which map to wrong options. I have tried changing ROMS but to my dismay nothing seems to have fixed the problem. Can anyone help me here ?
Thanks
This is an old issue and there are many threads that contain the fix. You need the ATT keyboard settings (get Advance Config Tool).
