Keyboard keeps sticking on number selection

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;

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."

disable word completion please

Hi,
is there any registry value i can change to disable the word completion on standard keyboard. it annoys me a lot coz the screen is small enough already don't want that extra line.
I tried into the input setting and untick the word completion, t9..... everything, but it just still there!!!
Thankx in advance

yeah would love to know too

Same here
Same problem here! It's the most annoying thing ever. I can barely write a SMS. Even with the keyboard (I own a Raphael!) the same thing happens. I disabled everything but...

For me disabling works when switching T9 off in one of HTC´s keyboard......then with the standard keyboard I also have T9 disabled.....(Stock HTC 1.37 German ROM).

I had to make sure that all of my settings for the standard keyboard were not selected (even the greyed out ones like "Add a space after word") before the annoyance stopped.

Just see!

Need help finding these apps...

I updated to Cyanogens 4.something and with it came with a bunch of apps like Log Collector, and one that I really liked. It was another virtual keyboard with QWERTY, Compact QWERTY and T9. Does anyone know what this other key board was? I really want that back I liked it alot better than the stock virtual keyboard. Oh, they all went away because I had some problem where the phone kept reseting it self so I just wiped it and reinstalled Cyanogen-mod.

Touch Input Keyboard
When you go to the text message screen do a long press on the part where you input the text, a pop up should come up stating input method. Select input method, and then select touch input and voila! there you have it.

Swype Woes

Swype is a incredibly awesome input method, i am addicted and i dont plan to EVER EVER LEAVE. But there are a few things that urk me about it.
#1 How come double tapping words only works in landscape mode to bring up the word choice menu?
If this was fixed, it would make my life and my #2 woe out of commission.
#2 Is there ANY WAY to remove hard coded words in the swype dictionary like
"Dint", i am SICK OF SEEING THIS POP UP. I want to type dont and 90% of the time it is dint. Yes, i know i can choose to type do not, but... its the fact of the matter here.
These are just the 2 things that are really bothersome to me at this point. I would really like to have full access to the user dictionary instead of just words we added.

I think you can get to the user dictionary through:
Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> User dictionary

...Or swype over "d-o-n-'-t" with the apostrophe. Problem solved, plus people will think you're even more intelligent than they do already!

that just accesses the android user dictionary not the swype one.
I agree that the it needs more control over the user dictionary. Sometimes it keeps coming up with really unusual words ahead commonplace ones. It also frustrates me that every time I update the android OS I have to reinstall swype and none of the user settings or custom words are saved. I have to start from scratch each time.

Ya, I'm used to spelling "dont" and having the phone auto correct it to "don't". With Swype, I have to use the apostrophe to get it to recognize the right word.

@op
Hello,
According to the swype developers, the double click feature for word selection is something that require OEM integration - which is why the beta version lacks it. In landscape though, the text entry box is actually part of the Swype object, which is why in that mode the double tap feature works.
Dictionary wise, all i know is they use there own custom one - Not sure you can really do much with in the official swype versions "/ Could always put a plus vote towards swype using the main android dictionary on there usersvoice account?

yeah, reinstalling is getting old lol, even my titanium backups dont restore properly. its probably so they can keep them in the beta status and expire at some point. i wish i could just buy it already and it would be in full release, i would easily pay 10-20 bucks for this.

All I do is select the word, or put the cursor into the word, then hit the swype key and that brings up the word choice menu

No chance, it is only going to be sold to OEM. It will not be on the market.

Kinda sad that we cannot access the dictionary. I dont see why the double tap correct works in landscape and not the other. Is there any developers out there that can change it, or are we not messing with swype anymore? The code is obviously there, and i know it would be something a TON of people that would want.

[Q] A Perm Swype Prediction Bar?

Does anyone know how to make the Swype keyboard prediction bar a persistent/permanent item?
At the moment is likes to vanish when I've finished a word, which means it then needs to adjust how much screen space the app takes up.
This is quite frustrating because for instance it means the Google talk app "send" button moves down the screen a bit.
It makes me rage every day, drives me nuts.
Is there some way to force it to stay there all the time?
I'm on the Stock ICS with root.
****Solved, upgraded from German ROM to Singtel ROM.

I would love for it to remain persistent as well, even empty.

that is exactly what I want. :-/

thts annoying :X
th text box keeps moving up n down :X like a staircase

Ok since You are a Note User, I will give you some alternative options to use with. These were the ones which I tried to use when I was in STOCK ICS with root.
1. Swype (which ofcourse you are using)
2. SwiftKey
3. SlideIT
4. Better Keyboard
Non keyboard Input Options:
1. Voice Actions
2. WritePad
So far I chose WritePad but after I ended up in LPF Based ROM, my built-in keyboard is good enough for me
If any of my posts help you, please press THANKS. The Best part is "Its free!". Peace xD

I'm confused by your reply.
None of it seems to address the option of locking the predictive bar in place at all times the swype keyboard is up.
I have bought and tried SlideIT and Swiftkey and neither keyboards are as good / Accurate as Swype in my view. (no idea if they have a locked in predictive bar)

lol
On a whim I upgraded the ROM from the German one to the Singtel one and now it does exactly what i want!
