SOLVED-Help! I lost my keypad- no letters just numbers - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey Everyone,
I upgraded to Android 1.6 and rooted my phone.
All is working fine.
(I added the apps better keyboard and slide keyboard) days ago.
I JUST noticed that the default dialpad is missing the letters under the numbers that means if I have to spell a name using the dialpad I can't since I ONLY see numbers now.
Can someone shed some light on this?
How do I turn back on the T9 keyboard??? I think that's what I need to do, not sure.
The phone is an LG EVE.
THANKS!

How Do I delete this thread?
I turned off the better keyboard and now the dialer keypad shows the letters.
Strange...

Led, SMS and Input problems

Hello everyone! This is my first post here!
Ive searched for this issue but I didnt find any similar problem, so Im posting here.
Imagine that i send a sms to someone. Is it normal that after sending the sms my green led changes it yellow?
Anyway, the problem is that after i send a sms to someone, it takes too long to receive a sms. However, this same problem doesnt seem to happen if i dont send a sms - it seems that there is a relation between the yellow led and the time it takes to receive a sms (I dont know if I made myself clear...).
The second and also troublesome problem is related to the input methods. My touch and numeric keyboards dont type letters; instead, they insert the symbols each key corresponds to (numbers or symbols)... this is what happens if u touch for a certain ammount of time. But, for me, this happens with the most slight touch...
Help me please

Did you installed any other keyboard to polaris? I've installed pcm keyboard and i had the exactly same problem :S Since i uninstalled it, the problem gone
Yes, I installed PCm keyboard. However, i uninstalled it and it didnt solve my problem But i think thats the main cause.... maybe i need to delete some stuff of the pcm in the reg?
EDIT: hey! it actually did solve! i had to soft reset hehe
Now, for the other problem,can any1 help me?
Hmm... I actually found out that the yellow led is activated when I send the sms and inactivates when i receive a sms and there is no delay in receiving the sms.
Does anyone know why this happens?ยป

Kaiser on-screen keyboard?

.....i dont even know what i installed that caused it, but my on-screen keyboard changed....it now lacks spacebar, and caps, and some other things......i wish i knew exactly what it was i installed to cause it, but i dont remember smh....i searched around, but never found anything to fix this problem....please help!
also....with my dialer, theres a big delay in when im dialing numbers...it makes it difficult sometimes when im trying to retrieve voicemail and things of that sort...it wasnt always like this, and same as my other issue, i cant remember exactly what was installed or whatever that began this problem....
please help!
BTW why would you use on screen keyboard on kaiser u have hardware keyboard
and i think the delay in dialer is due to some dialer skin you might have installed try removing it......
you changed your keyboard to use the large keyboard with gestures.
(swipe right is space, swipe back is backspace, down is enter, ect)
you can change it back in the sip settings under the keyboard.
lmao, yet smh at myself.....no wonder i couldn't find anything through searching, the answer was TOO easy....
...now if i could only figure out this dialer problem...

Help
EDIT: Got it working now with the High Resolution version!
has anyone else had a problem, when using htc ime mod for 1.6
sometimes it will cause the phone to freeze, the vibrate for 3-5 seconds. Then it resumes typing the letters you typed seconds ago. Is my phone just screwy, or is it a bug in .27 of the HTC IME mod

It happened to me quite often back in 1.6 and it happens now too.
It's a bug of the keyboard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 there is the link for the latest, choose the non 2.2 hi res
lolz i was having the same problem as the OP! just figured it out thanks to this thread. i hate the stock 2.1 keyboard!

I cannot see what I am writing?

Sorry if Im asking an already answered question but I don't know the solution. I dont know if this is a Liberty issue because of the small screen, or an issue related to the google voice app itself. but when Im typing a message out in google voice and the text gets to the 4 line, I can no longer see what I am typing, the word suggestion row above the letters are covering what im writing. This used to be fine when I used swipe because it never did that, however I updated swype and no it is having the same issues. Does anyone know of a solution to this? a different keyboard? a fix?
I don't know of a fix, but rotate to landscape mode will keep the text box fully visible. This is really annoying to me as well.

yah, this has been a known problem. just tried typing in both G Voice and Handsent. wrote a paragraph of text with no issue in either landscape or portrait mode.
i remember in the beginning it didnt work for me either. running CM7.1, and all is well
I use Swype. So usually when this happens for me i just cycle from Swype to th Default back to Swype and it's fixed.

SuperOSR and DW Contacts issue

Sorry for opening another thread, but now it seems i figured out the behaviour that maxes problems:
For example if you install DW Contacts as dialer (since you need a dialer with smart dial otherwise you won't notice):
1. Press the green button so that "DW Telephone" will open
2. if not selected as standard, select the most left icon for the caller
So and now for example I want to search for some guy called "Holzer" in my phonebook.
3. start typing "HOLZ" and it will suggest "Holzer"
4. but if you type "e" now, nothing will be selected anymore.
So why does this happen?
Answer: All keys with numbers will be treated like on a T9-Keyboard. If you press E it will be an A, B or C - but not an E!
So, how can we fix this?
I did not have this behaviour on the standard dialer of the standard ROM, but I did not try DW Contacts there. Can anyone try?
BTW: The problem is other way round if I add a new contact and type into the field for the phone number. J will be a number instead of a "+". Could anyone try if this is the same with the standard ROM?
Video of the screen where to try this will be on https://vimeo.com/41715841 shortly.
i am using super OSR and DW contacts, i dont have this issue. The problem may be with your keyboard mapping.
And my friend, this is not the right thread to post questions, this is development thread and i appreciate if you can post the questions to general thread
What keypad patch did you install?
Sorry I thought it's a bug of SuperOSR.
But didn't have any special keyboard patch installed since it worked like expected when I'm not in any dialer app (od contact list). So you think that patch might fix this?
I thought it could be an issue with the keyboard patch.
Hmm... Ok then the keyboard patch might not solve this problem.
I wonder why other people don't have this problem - or did they just not notice? If you use the standard dialer that comes with SuperOSR you won't notice because it does not have a smart dial function that is doing numbers and letters at the same time.
So you have to install a 3rd party dialer app to notice that problem. Could any one else try with DW Contacts or Dialer One please?
Could anyone with stock ROM try DW Contacts and see how it works there?
And some other issue:
Try Download C64-Emulator "Frodo" and Type the Zero. It does not work while all other keys worked but it worked with the standard rom. Strange.
I did flash both chacha-keypad-ger-signed.zip and chacha-keypad-stent-signed.zip now, but there are the same problems. It doesn't seem to have any effect - even when I install the norwegian keyboard nothing happens.
