Cannot change keyboard entry method - help please - General Questions and Answers

G2 using MoDaCo ROM v2.9 with teknologist 1.9 kernel.
I've been using the TouchPal keyboard for ages and today I thought I'd download and try some others. I've always found the Touchpal keyboard to be excellent though.
Anyway, I downloaded and installed a couple of alternatives. I selected one in settings and attempted to try it but the phone automatically used the default Touch Input keyboard.
I tried the Handcent keyboard, nothing doing - it still used the default Touch Input keyboard.
I tried to go back to Touchpal and still nothing doing; I'm stuck on the default keyboard. I've tried rebooting the phone to no effect.
Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this?

OK, it seems to be working again now.

I lost all of my Input methods!

I don't know what the deal is, I had them this morning, and even after a restore, I don't have any of my Input methods anymore. They all show but when I select one it doesn't apply. I should have:
Block Recognizer
Compact QWERTY
Full QWERTY
Keyboard (it defaults to this every time)
Letter Recognizer
Phone Keyboard
Transcriber
I have recently installed the new Landscape Full Manila update but I had these options even after that.
Anyone know how I can reinstall these options?! I hate that default keyboard!
It seems like they are all there still, like I can see options for them all, etc but it just wont change, also its like the small arrow by the keyboard isn't activated and I cant click it, I can change the default keyboard from small to large, but that's it!
ERRRR, what pisses me off is I backup ALL THE TIME, before every app install even, and when I do a restore, it still doesn't work, WTF good are backups then! Or does Spite Backup just suck and I should be using another?
This worrying about everything from one min to the next with this device is the only bad thing about it.
The only suggestion I have for you is to do a hard reset and restore using the most recent back up file until you find a back up file that works for you. I have used sprite back up many times before but this has never happened to me.
Are you using the stock Fuze ROM?
Yeah I'm using the stock ROM but I bypassed the bloatware and installed TF3D that was just released in the software thread, the full one with landscape mode.
I tried several backups and none worked, strange, not sure what caused this but I did find a work-around, its a small app called SIPChange, it was a shot in the dark but it worked for me, for anyone else with this issue, try it:

This actually even fixed the little arrow issue I have that wasn't letting me select the Input method on the fly, I did notice it loads at every reset tho, I don't care as long as it works!
Thanks guys, I hope this thread will help anyone else with the issue.

Anyone using the DX keyboard?

Ive done everything I can think of to get the Dx multi touch keyboard on my Inspire, but ever one I try force closes.
does anyone have a version that they got working on theirs? If so, did you need to do anything special other than installing, set the keyboard in the settings, and changing the input method?

[Q] Keyboard key problems

Okay, so shortly after flashing CM7, every five minutes or so a key on my (Gingerbread) keyboard stops working. After trying some things (like pushing a little harder, clicking other things) it works again. But then it happens to another key! I think I read one thread somewhere on the internet with some people saying using a different fixes the problem.. But I don't think it does :/ And I can't find any other threads about this problem. I can't even find that one again! Has anyone else been experiencing issues like this? Is this a problem with the ROM maybe? Things worked fine on all of my other ROMs, and the stock ROM. I'm really worried, and I hope this isn't a permanent issue. Sending my device back to get replaced would be really screwy for my schedules. I'm using an Inspire 4G btw, if that matters to any of you.
Anyone? Any tips? I can't tell if it really is a hardware issue or software
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G running Cyanogenmod 7
I have this issue with my stock inspire along with several others. Every now and then a key gets stuck and will not respond. I have to re-boot my phone. Right now I am using swype and so for it has not locked up any keys as of yet for about a week. It was happening to me approx once every 7 to 10 days. No fix that I know of. Hope they correct this issue with 2.3
I second the Swype keyboard - can't live without it!
:side note:
I'm using the latest version (I think) and the only issue that I've had is when I reboot the phone, sometimes the keyboard will work but the swiping feature will not (blue border flashes around the keyboard instead of posting the word I spelled). The fix is easy - go to Language and Keyboard, uncheck the box for Swype, run the Swype installer, click Enable swype, select it as the keyboard when the installer pops up the box for Input Type, and you're good to go (if it ever happens).

Samsung epic keyboard changed, swype not working

I'm not sure how but my on screen keyboard is still qwerty but a slightly different layout and the swype no longer works.. I tried managing settings of text and applications with no luck.. it happened when I accidentally changed the language. I went and put back to english but the keyboard is still different and swype not working. anyone know how to fix this??
thanks

Android, Custom keyboard won't stick

Hi,
I have a android tablet running on Nougat 7.0 not rooted.
The default keyboard is AOSP , when I install any custom keyboard like Gboard, it works fine, I'm able to set it as the new default one and use it normally.
The problem comes after a reboot where I don't know why, Android disables the 2 keyboards, not only the ASOP but also the new custom one.
That means after each restart, I have no keyboard when I select an input field, nothing shows up. I have to manually go to settings and re-enable one of them, again and again...
I spent many hours on forums but found no similar issue, what mostly happens if that Android reverts back to the stock keyboard, but for me is no keyboard...
Any idea?
