hi friends of the net,
help pleeeease.
when i go into go into calendar i get numbers come up and not letters when the key pad is closed, if i open phone to type on key padi can get the letters, if any numbers have been entered already the numbers do not delete and i have to press the home key and then go back to it again before it lets me write anything, this also happens in internet explorer! after this has happened if i try to access contacts via home page or via menus it does not let me access them.
also my i bar/cursor vanishis sometimes when i am in text messaging.
tried factory reset and it still happens, also had a new phome sent out and the new one does the same!!!! assume its software fault on many phones.
Can you vox owners try these out...
This is regarding my friends phone, member - Wezog. Ive taken a look at the phone and im just wondering if any of you guys out there have these problems?
1 - Make sure your phone is closed (qwerty keyboard is hidden away), using the right soft key or by going into the start menu select the calendar application.
Once in here start typing an appointment, do you find that you have numbers appearing instead of letters?
Its as tho you cannot type any appointments using the keypad, but you have to open up the e650 and use the qwerty keyboard to enter information.
Do you HTC owners get the same problem or is it just the Orange e650 owners, or is it just my friend being unlucky? (being his 2nd phone to do exactly the same thing - hes let orange know about this but apparently has to decide what he wants to do)
2 - Once youve tried the Calendar above, exit out of it and then try and select CONTACTS as tho you were going to call someone either by using the left soft key or by actually going into Contacts in the start menu.
Do you find that Contacts dont display and nothing comes up? My mate has to then soft reset his phone to get things back to normal again.
Thanks in advance for your help, its very appreciated.
Cheers

Frankly - actions like creating an appointment is why I chose a phone with a QWERTY keyboard after all
But for the sake of your test I tried to create an appointment on my closed Vox and it worked.
Pressing a pad key repeatedly scrolls through its lowercase letters + the number, starting with the first letter. The *-key switches between lowercase and uppercase.
Contacts open and work normally after closing the Calendar.
I have an unbranded HTC S710 with the original ROM.
The behaviour you describe is definitely weird. And it happens also after a "Clear Storage" / Hard Reset ?
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643
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 am just new to this pocket PC phone (just the old HTC Touch) and i tried out installing an IP Phone Keyboard program. When I wasnt happy about it, i uninstalled it but it messed up my SIP. The default standard input keyboard now is cut at the bottom (meaning i dont see the entire last row of Ctrl, space bar, etc.) but there's a black row appearing at the top of the input keyboard. It looks like the input keyboard was dragged down. Worse, the suggested words now appear at the bottom of the screen (where your normal Send or Cancel buttons are).
I really would appreciate your advise and help in getting this resolved. Dont know where to run to or whom to raise this to.
Thank you and looking forward to your response.

Restart your PPC. After that go to settings--> input---> select default input keyboard and try.
Hope it will help.
Are you using the default keyboard?
You can install any other SIP and it should work fine even if the default keyboard's having problems.
You can also hard reset incase you don't manage anything else.
I'm not aware of a bug concerning the default keyboard showing wrong except for something which goes away after a soft reset.
Thanks very much for your responses. Unfortunately, I did all that (set keyboard as default, try installing another keyboard software, soft reset and hard reset) but the problem still persists. I am almost in the vicinity of regretting why i had this PPC.
can you specify exactly which app caused this problem?
changed the battery at a festival - no clean shutdown, to find the default touch input keyboard overlay no longer appears when selecting a text input area after powering back up- can touch every other button and link as normal- phone behaves fine otherwise- just no keypad overlay any more.
navigated to the market and have since installed a 3rd party keyboard and everything now works fine again, but how can i get the default original HTC/Android back? can I navigate to some config file and zero it somehow?
have tried toggling between input methods/ reboots etc- no joy- do not want to factory reset phone

Very odd. factory reset seems the only way. Sorry.

Hi I was just wondering if anybody has had this problem before on a huawei u8350 or other android on froyo 2.2.2 or other. The phone is rooted When I press a key, any key including menu, home, back and all the letters numbers etc I get the same input as that key on any other key pressed after it. I think it was mainly/only 1 repeat but sometimes maybe more. So if i pressed A then B it would enter AA then AAB if B was pressed again. This also applied to the thumb controller. I have recently used some non market app's VGBA ( a gameboy advanced emulator packaged with lucky patch), FPSE ( PSONE emulator) I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem. I ran an avast virus scan, nothing detected and I don't think it could be a hardware problem as I have tried using various input options and the problem remained until I rebooted the phone. Seems fine now but I was just curious as to what might have caused this???? Thanks in advance
