Hi Guys
Sorry if this has been posted, I did do a search and couldn't find a solution.
Whenever I change the input type in the input settings, it immediately defaults back to compact qwerty when I go back in to look.
Is this a known problem?
Thanks in advance
Nobody have any ideas?
After flashing the new ROM i've the same problem.
Every time i switch the keyboard layout, it automatically returns to compact QWERTY.
Can the layout be set in the registry?
I haven't found any solution yet.
fixing the default imput method
I also had this problem and it was driving me mad! However, searching the forum I came across a recommendation to use a little program called SIPchange. I installed this (it's free!) and it allows you to set any imput method as the default. So far it seems to work.
The only problem I now have is that the Letter Recogniser doesn't show me any suggested words as I enter text, despite this option being switched on in the settings. Any ideas anyone?

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.
Has anyone else had this. Using the touch diamond qwerty keyboard (not the tiny MS one) I go to enter information and the keyboard is stuck on the number and symbols page. No amount of pressing ABC will switch it back to the text entry mode.
I had had this error on two seperate Daimonds. One with world wide english and now one with the UK rom. It is driving me mad.
I've the same problem with both keyboards (the full one and the compact one). But until now, no solution

I have purchased the cootek keyboard based on someone elses suggestion. It is hugely better. They have a qwerty one as well as some other faster input ones all part of the package and it was only $12 with free trial.
I have this problem too. To get the keyboard back I have to select the compact qwerty keyboard and then the full qwerty again. But that only works until I have to open the input panel again. It's very frustrating and has only just happened. The last think I did was install the Live Mesh application but I don't see how that could have effected the keyboard like this. Is there a place in the registry where I can set the default settings for the keyboard?
Have you got PCM keyboard installed. Mine only did it when that was installed and as soon as I uninstalled it fixed the other KB's. I have had the same problem on two different phones but only when PCM is installed.
I haven't installed any other keyboards, this just seems to have happened all of a sudden. However I thought I would search for forums again using different keywords and I found this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412234&highlight=keyboard+stuck
It suggested a registry location where keyboard settings are located, I set them to the values suggested in the thread and so far my keyboard has worked normally. I hoping that it's going to stay that way.
oh right thats weird because it is the same problem I had but it was because of this third party KB. I wonder if there is anything else you have installed that could have affected it. I would try uninstalling a few 3rd party apps and seeing if that fixes it.
If it happens again I'll give that a try, as it is I have my phone just the way I like it.
Thinking back I did make some keyboard changes, it was ages ago so it slipped my mind. I used a registry hack to turn off defaulting to T9 on the keyboard.

Looking back it makes use of the same registry settings. This could have been the cause, but I made the changes ages ago and the current problem only happened recently. Still, it's fixed now and I'm happy.
Life saver!

You are a fricking life saver (as is studz who originally gave the solution). I thought I was going to have to reflash my ROM. It happened to me after installing the TouchPal SIP. I decided I didn't care of it, so I went back to compact qwerty and suddenly it didn't work! The part that was messed up on mine was HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\
"Layout Text" and "Ime File."
Hello,
I used the search and Google to look for an option to turn T9 off, but I couldn't find anything. I'm currently using the Full QWERTY keyboard on my MDA Compact IV and by default it has T9 on, which I really don't like. Every time I start writing a text or something else I have to switch to the ABC mode.
So basicly my question is: Is it possible to change the default setting of these modes? T9 is on by default, but I want to be off by default and ABC mode on by default. I hope someone can help me.
Also on another note, is it possible to show 'Tasks' in the start menu instead of just 'Calendar'. Now I have to click on 'Start', 'Calendar' and after that on 'Tasks'. I just want it to be right there. I'm by the way guessing those are the menu names, since I'm using a Dutch version. It's called 'Taken' and 'Agenda' on my phone.
Thanks in advance.
*bump*
Doesn't anyone know how to do this? Is it even possible?
Same here...is there somebody who knows a solution????
Really NOBODY?????
I've been trying to look for an option to change in the registry. So far I haven't been able to find anything. So, is there someone else out there who knows how to help us ?
There is a cab file here for disabling t9, the problem is that it doesn't disable only t9 in full qwerty, but in all the keyboards, and on the standard keypad version you only get numbers. not very convenient...

And by the standard keypad you mean the keypad of the actual phone? That's not convenient at all. I wouldn't removing T9 from all the keyboards though. I have never used it and probably never will, since I just don't like it.
To disable XT9 Windows Mobile:
Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\ and change the key "XT9SupportMSSip" from value from "1" to "0".
Works on my diamond, hope this is what you're looking for

Hm, that didn't work for me. It was also on "0" for me by default, so I tried setting it to "1". That didn't work for me either.
Hi guys,
to turn off T9 by default change the value:
HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\CarrierDefaultTextMode
from "1" to "0"

Wow, thanks a lot kasikm! That's exactly what I wanted!
What I would like is the opposite...I would like T9 active by default. I use Compact QWERTY and sometimes T9 is on and sometimes it isn't.
I tried doing some searches before asking but I could not find a solution that worked for me so hear goes.
With the phone is tilted I can not see any of the letters I am typing on the input fields. This problem seems to be only related to Internet Explorer as I have skyfire and it works fine with that. Its as if the font color is white and so is the background color thus making the letters seem invisible on the input field. When the phone is not tilted there is no problem.
anyone have any clue what setting is causing this and how to fix it?
TIA....
Kaiser Tweak
Hi
You should use Kaiser tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898, disabling Clear Type fonts in IE. This will fix the problem

Thought I move the thread to here to see if I will get more help:
Have had the phone for a few weeks and learning lots. All of sudden yesterday when trying to make a calendar entry, the full QWERTY, compact QWERTY, and phone pad can no longer be used to enter text. It's stuck on numeric mode. Tapping the "abc" key on the bottom of the full QWERTY keyboard doesn't change anything. Can still use transcriber and full keyboard for now. BUt when switched to Note program, all entry methods work. Have not installed any new programs lately (besides a few games and new calculator). Have been using S2U2 and Diamond tweaks to help with a few other problems...Help please since this is now my primary calendar and runs my life so need to have this working again!!
I"m using the GSM version with the latest ROM version. The problem also seems to be "periodic" in the sense that everytime I change mode of text entry to something else and back to QWERTY, it lets me enter text, but the moment I change it to numerics, I can't go back unless I change mode of entry again.....Argh.....
I suffer from a similar problem sometimes. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't open at all. I can't type anything. Perhaps it's because of TouchPal, dunno. Gotta reboot the device then ...
Sorry for abusing your thread, but it's a similar problem.7
Have you performed a soft-reset? Did it change anything or have you been suffering from the same problem ... ? Actually a stupid question
Done a soft reset once, and didn't change anything. Like I said it has a mind of its own...when I change the mode of text entry to full keyboard, everything works perfectly so I've been defaulting to that...then when I change from full keyboard to QWERTY, it would bring back the alphabet screen..but the moment I tap the 123 button to change to numeric pad to enter something, I CANNOT go back....I'm unwilling to hard reset for a problem that I have a "work around" on .....hence the post to see if others have similar problem, and HOW THE HECK did it happen???
ya i'm also facing the same problem, but now my COMPACT QWERTY keyboard stopped working completely, it was only taking no's, please suggest solution for this
Thanks in advance
same problem here. a complete reset to factory defaults was the only solution to that problem.
full querty worked normally, but without T9.
compact and phone pad numbers only, equal if i selected ABC or 123. Symbols worked normally
