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 everyone
I first dismissed this error as another manifestation of the N1's touch screen drawbacks; but since I owned the Nexus S, the same error reappears, and it’s driving me nuts:
All signs point to the fault being caused by the Gingerbread keyboard. This is how you reproduce it:
1) Use more than one keyboard layout / input language
2) Type anything, switch to the first symbols keyboard
3) Hit any key from the symbols keyboard, and afterwards, directly the space bar
4) The keyboard switches back to letter mode, all good up to now
5) Hit the symbols button again
6) The input language automagically changes to the adjacent one, the keyboard switches back to ABC mode
Suffice to say, this is quite an annoyance. There’s a workaround, though: this doesn’t happen if you hit the ABC key before hitting space, but that’s not how I expect my keyboard to work.
Is anyone else able to reproduce this issue, and if yes, does anyone know how to fix this? Unfortunately, extensive research throughout last week didn’t bring back any usable results.
Thanks for your help!

Hey!
this happens also on my Nexus S...really disappointing (
I played around in the Keyboard settings but couldn't find a way to fix this (unless you remove multiple languages....but that's not the point :S).
I recently bought a lenovo s580 phone. It has android 4.2.2 installed. I was able to pair an apple bluetooth keyboard with the phone and the keyboard is working fine. But there are several keys not working.
I found out that the phone has TouchPanel Gesture. I have never seen this feature before. This feature has an alphabet gesture in it. There are several keys in alphabet gesture including: o,w,m,e,c,s,v,z, left, right, up, down. These keys when pressed from bluetooth keyboard, it flashes a window saying Invalid Application: Application not set.
Basically this flash window keep on poping up and won't allow normal typing on bluetooth keyboard.
I tried to delete tpgesture app from system app list, it removed the window messaging, but the keys are still not working.
I've been trying to tackle this problem for a week now and could not find any other post about this issue.
Can any one help me solve this issue?
By the way, the touchpanel gesture otherwise works fine, I can assign any app to 's' key and pressing physical s key will launch the app. But this effectively makes the physical keyboard completely useless. I really want this feature be entirely gone so I can type normally.
Anyone have an issue where the Samsung keyboard will stop responding to SwiftFlow, also known as "swiping"?
For example, sometimes when I want to input text, the Samsung keyboard appears, but instead of being able to swipe through letters, It will only detect "tapping" or the first letter I touch.
The simple fix is to hit the "back" button on the phone which will close the keyboard, then bring the keyboard back and SwiftFlow/Swyping will work again. The problem is I seem to be running into this a few times a day during heavy use, so it's obviously annoying when it happens.
90% of times I type 't' in clash of clans, the screen flashes and the keyboard stops working. The text box AND THE SUGGESTIONS BAR above the keyboard disappear. The keyboard remains visible and I get haptic feedback when pressing the keys but nothing gets typed (text box is no more there to type in). I have tried Google keyboard and SwiftKey keyboard but the same result. I think the combination of coc and suggestions are somehow causing this. Can anyone test this on their op6? Anyone knows why is this happening or how to fix it?
