Is anyone having the problem where they pick another input type (i.e. PCM Keyboard, TouchPal) and it defaults back to the WM Keyboard? I like to use a soft keyboard for "one-handed" use sometimes. Anyone know of a workaround or fix?
Do a search for SIP changer.cab It allows you to set your default keyboard and it will restore it after a soft reset.

I downloaded the SIPChange program and it didn't seem to help. When I reboot, it still comes up with the MS Keyboard. When I select another input method like PCM Keyboard or TouchPal, it goes back to keyboard. Any ideas? This is getting extremely frustrating.
I found with sip changer, you need to run it and make the selection there and confirm it with the button in the middle of the screen, not the OK button in the top right.
If that doesn't help, I'm at a loss as it works fine for me.
If I understand the OP correctly, it isn't simply an issue of what defaults, it's an issue of being able to select the 3rd party keyboard, period. I have the same problem with ToughPal... I install touchpal, it works for a while, then after a while it can't be selected. It's in the pop-up list to select, but selecting it results in the standard keybard. I uninstalled, re-installed, and it worked for a while, and now it's back to not working.
SIP Change also addresses the issue of the 3rd party keyboards not showing up correctly. I'd tried PocketCM keyboard and it had failed, but SIP Change fixed that once I'd executed it correctly.

I tried a couple of things as well. One of them was to change the setting to 5 seconds first. That didn't work. Once I changed it back to 10 seconds, it worked fine on this reboot. Will post back here if I run into problems again. Also, I only tested it with PCM Keyboard and not TouchPal.
i searched all over and cant seem to find it, if there even is a way. is there a way to change my default keyboard to a different one?
thanks in advance
What do you mean? When using the on screen keyboard, you want to set a particular input mode to be the default?
like during texting i want to have PCM keyboard as my default so i dont have to keep selecting it. is there a way?
I know that you can remove some of the other input options, using Sktools or PocketTweak (freeware)
you could always remove all the other options from showing up, so the only thing that shows up is the one you want.
with sktools you can set default sip - BUT sometimes it crashes...
there is an app called "sip change" try my search function in signiture
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?

So, if you don't like the Swype keyboard for some reason, the settings menu on the Streak 7 does not give the "Input Method" option. I finally found a way to change the input method.
If you go to the AccuWeather app, which should be preinstalled, and go to enter a new location, you will be asked what input method to use. From there, you can choose the regular keyboard, Swtpe, and most likely, any installed keyboards. This setting should stick, even in other applications.
I know this isn't exactly the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I hope it helps someone out
Normally under android you can long press any text input box and it will give you the option of changing input method you can then select any available keyboards that way
If you download a new keyboard or something, you have to remember to turn it on in settings before you can use it

Damn...I thought I was onto something. I never noticed that before, except in AccuWeather
Hello,
I recently update my tablet to 4.4.2 thanks to the zip files packaged by sdbags, very easy to update, many tanks to him.
Since update I'm experiencing a strange issue with the physical keyboard:
my physical keyboard is french so AZERTY instead of QWERTY.
it is properly set with french localisation in settings, I can type without problems in several apps BUT
When I need to enter a password, when caracters are hiden by a * after 2 seconds I have some key who doesn't match whith french keyboard.
it is only a few special caracters as @ or § but I use those caracters in my passwords
using asus virtual keyboard bypass the problem it an issue only with physical keyboard and only when typing a hiden password (google password, xda password...
Asus update cames with a bug in the keyboard?
Anybody get similar issue with physical keyboard?
thanks
florian
Hi Florian,
I have the same issue here with my German physical keyboard after the update.
Normal typing in apps is fine, but in most password forms special characters !+äöü etc. are mismatched.
There are of course no problems with the Asus software/virtual keyboard.
I have tried many different keyboard or language settings without success.
So "YES" there seems to be a bug for international keyboards/docks.

Hmmm... Asus added some new keyboard layouts to the 4.4.2 release. I didn't see them remove any.
The way it normally works with the dock is, you must have the softwware keyboard set to Asus with the correct language and layout that you want to use and the dock mirrors this. If you install another keyboard or switch to google then the dock switches to US layout.
Make sure you have Asus selected as default and if possible disable the others to test. Check your language and layout of asus is working as well, then plug in the dock.
Ok I have disable the google keyboard and let only asus keyboard set in french AZERTY layout.
plugged on dock... same issue:
in google chrome physical keyboard is fr-fr
If I still with chrome but I need to login on XDA for instance; password field gets hidden caracters (after 2sec it's a *)
for un unkown reason my keaboard switch to belgian AZERTY fr-be layout difference are here http://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY
this behavior is only for password hidden field, exept this chrome is properly localized but get belgian accent to spell passwords
Well, I still have the same issue with wrong character assignments for special characters in password fields.
Meanwhile I have tried out many different settings/combinations of System/Keyboard languages without success.
In a German Android forum there are now some other users with the same key mismatch issues as well. So it looks like it is a bug with international (non-English) keyboards that needs to be fixed by Asus.
I suspect password type fields are forcing the keyboard layout from the language.kl file to something else - just need to find out which one and pint it back to the language one
I'll have a hunt about.
I have almost the same issue with a swiss keyboard.
However strangly, the issue for me only happens with secondary accounts. For my my main account, the keyboard mapping is correct. For all secondary accounts, it is US.
I have the same issue when using the dock keyboard...shift+2 shows up as @ and my password fields default to USA keyboard layout.
oddly enough for me, terminal emulator works fine, but chorme passwords or Juice SSH get the USA keyboard mapping and not the one set in the Asus Keyboard.
I'm free to test anything if it helps.

Same here, on my main Profile everything works, but i have Problems with Passwords, when i type them over the dock. And on a second profile the dock ist set to english keyboard qwerty instead of german qwertz so @ and other things are not usable as normal.
I hope they will fix it fast.
I have the same problem on my asus memopad ME176C with the latest 182 update and I don't use any kind of physical keyboard, just the virtual one, whenever I get in a password field, the keyboard switch to AZERTY and I tried everything including setting the tablet in english and switching to english us keyboard, but still, when I'm in a password field, the keyboard is the damn AZERTY. Anyone got a fix for this annoying issue.
