Rooted with the Hack Kit, running attn1's inspired_dhd_vfr series ROM, I downloaded and installed the Swype beta from Swype's web site. For a while, it will work fine, then it will only send data to the input window if I type one letter at a time. If I trace a word, it does not send anything. Uninstalling and reinstalling works, but that is a pain.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Its a known swype bug. You can just press and hold to switch input methods choose something other than swype. Repeat and choose swype and all is good
this happens on every rom ive used on the inspire. its pretty annoying

Thanks so much Anthonok! Did the trick!
This happens to me and I'm stock. Never rooted and it happens like 10 - 20 times in a week.

Hi all
Sorry to make a new thread but this is something that just does not make any sense. I took the plunge when 5.0* was released and I currently do not have the onscreen keyboard. There is a guy on these forums that was nice enough to help me out through gchat but I haven't gotten anywhere.
Just to be clear I have wiped several times and reflashed several times and I do not even have the MENU OPTION to enable the onscreen keyboard. The following picture should show what I mean (sorry I'm really bad at photoshop).
Anybody have a clue what to do? I'm willing to wipe again but it seems pointless because I've done it several times.
Also, I tried out the "G" version just to check it out and the onscreen keyboard comes up on this one.
That's odd. I installed 5.0.2H this morning and have no issues with the VK.
Is there a way to DBAN the G1? Something "better" than al+w? I'm desperate lol.
You must of not flaseheed correctly.
Make sure when you flash you press home and back together. Don't press Phone - Menu and Power
If you still have problems go into settings - Locale & Text
Make sure touchput Chinese is checked.
Mine works fine so yours should as well.
Good Luck
Is this Robbie? If it isn't, there is someone else with the same problem on another forum, so it isn't an isolated issue.

Thanks for posting that. At least I know I'm not losing my mind or something.

I've got bad news for you. Robbie forgot that he disabled it because he didn't know what he was clicking in settings.
He remembered this morning what he did, and now he's got it back. I hope your problem is as easy to solve.
One thing, it took me a few minutes to find mine, because I didn't realize that you have to click in the text box to have it appear.
Great. I guess I am losing my mind. Does anybody's "Locale & Text" look like mine?
71HC, could you check if /system/app/HTC_CIME.apk exists? )This is HTC's chinese touch input application and it's huge (>1M).) You can do this by typing "ls /system/app/HTC_CIME.apk" in Terminal or adb shell. if it's not, extract the file from the zip and adb push it to /system/app/ folder. Then reboot the phone. You make have to long press in a textbox to bring up the context menu and select input method, but the IME has to be enabled in Locale & text first.
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it. I looked it up on terminal and it looks like its there. I also looked it up on Linda file manager and it seems to be there. Can I long press it and install it from there? I was hoping it would be missing so that your solution would work. Now I'm even more confused.
I went ahead and tried to install HTC_CIME.apk
It told me that textinput chinese could not be installed on this device
great
Is there any way to force the onscreen keyboard to popup? I've had a few instances in the browser where I needed to type something and the cursor was in the right place but no amount of clicking would make the keyboard pop up so I could type. Is there any way to manually force the keyboard open in instances where the automatic open fails? Thanks.
Hold the menu button and your keyboard should pop up.
that just brings up search
Weird. It definitely brings up the keyboard on mine.
is this possible to port?
do you think you can put up the files in your "system/user/keylayout"

Did you get it fixed?
I can not get the files as the phone i tested on is in the possession of someone else and is not rooted (crazy right?).
I checked the rom listed in your sig and the files are different from the ones on my cappy so I couldn't really compare them. Also, what phone were you using?

My roommate is using the captivate from at&t, completely stock and unrooted though.
And now that I checked it out, he's an idiot. I asked him if holding the menu button brought up the keyboard just like on my nexus one (and showed him) and he tried it and said yes, but it really just brought up the search plus keyboard... Ugh. My apologies. I should have just checked for myself lol.
hmmmmm.... it looks like we may have to bring in the big guns...... does anyone happen to know any big guns?

Hi,
I use SlideIt all the time,and it can sometimes be awkward to get going when I load up a new ROM.
I have found that it takes a few install/uninstall/install/uninstall/install before it will go right through the load-up menus.
Just persevere.
Hi,
Sadly I did that 5-7 times, but still swiftkey won't work :'(

Hi,
Not sure about swiftkey,as I have never used it.
Try SlideIt.
I am sure there is a free version to test.
I change between swiftkey x and thumboard.
After enabling your keyboards from the settings and confirmed that they are checked. Go to a browser bar to type something and before typing, long press about 3 seconds in the area. Another window should come up labled "input method". Selecting that will bring up a window with all your selected keyboards. Select the one you want and you're good to go.

Thanks, but I rather like swiftkey, it looks better
So I'm running cyanogen7 and I've run across a weird issue that I'm sure is just a setting that I messed up somewhere. Anytime I try to use the hardware keyboard, weather in a text field or not, there are certain keys bound to certain applications. For example; if I hit 'b' it takes me to the browser, if I hit 'e' it takes me to email. Can anyone tell me where this setting is so I can turn it off? I just can't seem to find it.

Yes this is a common bug that's supposed to be fixed on the last nightly 255 or UKE.
The settings are in settings -> quick launch.
Long press on each one and press delete.
Only way to get around the bug is to reboot without deleting all the shortcuts.

Thank you very much for showing the root of this issue. I had this problem since November and it always bugged me!

It's always bugged me too. I told toastcfh to remove it by default from CM7. I will mention this to one_love_420 and ask him to remove this from UKE since toastcfh is usually too busy to respond.
That is a really annoying bug! But no big deal if a reboot is the fix.

Reboot is only a temporary fix. It constantly happens.
Okay... So for as long as I've had this phone, I've been getting this error. Am I the only one who gets this, or does everyone here suffer from this every time you reboot your phone? It's insanely annoying and if there is ANY way to get rid of this, I would love to know how. Anyways, this is the error:
External Keyboard
Swype may not be compatible with this physical keyboard. If you experience issues, switch back to Motorola input.

Then it forces me to select my input method. I like swype and I would like you continue using it. I would just like to get rid of this message every time I reboot my phone.
On a side-note... which touch screen keyboard do you guys prefer to use?
For the relatively few times by comparison I don't use the hardware keyboard, I always use Swiftkey and wouldn't consider anything else otherwise.

Good, I thought I was the only one. I always hit the 'do not show this message again' tick box. I got used to it.
I use Swype when I type in potrait mode.

I often use swype when I'm skating and don't want to pull out the keyboard.
But yeah, the message really gets annoying. This is the only phone I've ever gotten that warning on.
I routinely get this message as well. I always select Swype and check to the box to not show this notification again, but it still comes back a day or two later.
Wish there was a permanent fix or way to suppress this message as it's quite pointless. Everything seems to work fine otherwise.
Yeah I have had 3 photon q's and they all do this! So *%&*#*@ annoying
