Help Needed! Touch Keypad and keyboard returns numbers in "abc" and "XT9" mode
I need any help I can get on this! Thanks in advance.
I am not sure why, but suddenly my touch keypad and keyboard returns only numbers even when I am in "abc" and "XT9" mode. For example in "abc" mode, when I pressed the key "abc", it returns "2" when it should actually show "a". Same problem in "XT9".
Problem persists even when I soft reset a few times. I am not sure if this is due to one of these programs that I recently installed - (i) pocketcm, and (ii) opera 9.5 (extracted from one of this forum).
I use the touch keypad very often and would really like to get it working again. Does anyone know how this can be fixed (hopefully not a hard reset)?
Thanks a lot in advance
I had the same problem - it was driving me bonkers! I uninstalled PocketCM Keyboard, did a few soft resets and a power-off and the problem went away
Same problem here. I'm using Bepe 0.66. Soft-reset has fixed the problem so far, but it's annoying when it happens.
Same for me too. I uninstalled pocket CM Keyboard and three soft resets but still the same problem.

Try doing a power-off and on. That solved the problem for me. Doing a soft reset sometimes causes the phone to "lose" the installed microSD. Had to re-insert the card a couple of times for the phone to re-detect the card.
Bump
I have the same problem, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. No rhyme or reason. It seams to work if I switch to full keyboard and back again but that defeats the object... Any ideas?
Same for me
I've tried multiple soft resetS and power off/on, but nothing...
I've searched in registry, but I did'nt find something.
Please, help us if you can
what kinds of applications that you guys running when the XT9/abc problem exists? ( Phone application , notes or others? )

All text applications. For me the problem starts with upgrading of pcm keyboard to last version, 0.14. This one works normally, but HTC keyboards always type numbers. Once unistalled, everything comes ok.
The same problem here. I have also installed PCM Keyboard 0.14. Now I know it is a 'known' problem, I can go to sleep normally again ;-)
I hope someone finds a solution...... thank you in advance!
Any one any ideas on this one? I have the standard O2 ROM and its really starting to annoy me. Its really painful to have to get the stylus out every time to send a text!
Still no solution? anyone recommend a keypad that can be installed over the standard ones? and used with one hand of course...
Thanks
I got this problem yesterday. I hadn't read this thread, but had only installed face contacts, sms-chat and pcm keyboard since it had been working OK.
I had been using SIP change to make my selected SIP work, so I changed the selected SIP from PCM keyboard to ordinary keyboard.
I then uninstalled the three programmes. Then used S-K tools to find all traces of all of them and removed them manually. Also, deleted the folder in program files for PCM keyboard.
Then I soft reset by power off method. To my relief, Touch keyboard worked again.
Re-installed Face Contacts, everything still fine, re-installed sms-chat, everything fine.
Did not re-install pcm keyboard as I think that was the problem.
During all this, TouchPal still worked OK and there is a free version, so those who are still having problems could try using that until you get the other stuff to work again.
i had the same problem after installing a t9 dictionary.
i have the same problem too. the touch-keyboard works fine in all applications except the Opera for Windows Mobile browser and typing a www-adress with the stylus does not really funny.
i am thinking about installing the Resco Keyboard Pro (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/) but don't wanna pay $20 for a bug in the htc's software.
I got the same problem, with Opera Mobile...there I just can use the "normal" windows keyboard, not the HTC Touch keyboards, they ae just typing numbers...if anyone has a fix for this, I would be really happy...seems to me that the opera mobile still has some bugs, for me it does not show all "labels" (text in menu) correctly, so that sometimes there just I have <-123456789-> instead of the caption...
Has anyone got a solution for this yet?
I think there were a bug with one version of Opera Mobile 9.5. Installing the most recent release may solve the problem. Here is the latest version and some discussion about it:

Thanks for the reply but I don't have opera installed and never have. Whenever I use the touch keyboard or touch keypad it just inputs numbers.
I just experienced the same problem. I installed a english t9 dictionary file and after a soft reset the problem was there. After reading this thread I removed the english dictionary and the problem went away.
Hi,
i have a "Problem" with my XDA Orbit 2, sometimes if i make a softreset, the keyboards shows no letters.
Only the Touch Diamond Qwerty and the TouchPal v3.5 Keyboard do that.
(Look at the screens what i mean)
The Touch Diamond Qwerty brings the letters after a certain time again, the TouchPal no.
I must restart and restart again, until the letters are back.
Would be grateful for any help

Hello,
hope somebody can help me out. the keypad of my touch diamond 2 is acting very strange. i have selected the "telephone" keypad with T9 to type messages etc. but the keypad will only display numbers when i hit the keys. when i do a hard reset, the keypad is ok again for a while (a day). i have diamond tweak 0.5.3. from montecrisof installed. hope anyone can help me out because i can't find anything about this bug on the net.
thanks in advance, mirko
can u help my problem?? i have polaris 2nd hand
my polaris dont have "touch keypad" & "touch keyboard" at input panel. how to solve this problem. thx
hellloo...
Do first soft reset, if don't help do a hard reset. I have same problem after installing new Rom, after restart the keyboard was fixed.
I can't too. I installed Touch-keyboard-keypad, Registry Enable HTC Keypad, as well as Finger Keyboard 2.1. I am able to select it, but it will return to normal keyboad. Touch keyboard and keypad shows not effect no matter how many times I'd selected it. I'd tried restart and restart, install reinstall.. it never seems to work. I went to SIP change too... everything seems ok while setting.. but the Touch keyboard and keypad never comes out.
Sigh... whole morning of setting it after flashing a new 6.5 rom... it's... really tiring...
I flashed another 6.5 rom before with those mentioned above, and it works well... im not sure.. why isn't it functioning this time.
anyone can help in this?
