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.
Hello, so I installed gbhill's 1.6 rom and I went to the market to download better keyboards. Once it was finished I went to setting options and selected to enable the better keyboards but I can't use them when the keyboard comes up. Is there something else I need to do to get this working?
Randomly, maybe you need to go to the keyboard settings and check mark touch input?
(I have no idea if it works but can't hurt to try)
Better keyboards works very well on thistle Rom. To get it going u just need to long press in a text field and select it. Assuming u have it activated in the settings
i love better keyboard with the android skin.
Yea i was a bit daft, they gave me clear instructions i didnt read. You need to hold the ?123 in the bottom left corner
I signed up for swype beta and installed it without any problems. Swype was working for 1 day then all of a sudden I got the "blue box of death" .. I can't seem to swype at all. I tried select/deselecting swype as input but no help.
This has happened twice. First time I reinstalled it and it worked. But I don't want to do this again and again.
Thanks
Go to the swype beta forums... Easy way to fix is long press in the input field or search field until a box comes up that says input method. Change back to normal keyboard and then switch back to swype. voila fixed.
After succesfully running Nik Project X v4 (Desire S) By Nikhil007 rom for a few days I tried to evaluate Swiftkey 3 keyboard. But I did not like it so uninstalled it but now my voice to tecxt ( micrphone button ) on the keyboard is missing . it is replaced by a keyboard/setting icon.
Does anyone know how to restore that the button? I tried all kind of options from the Language and keyboard settings menu but it did not help.
I fear it may be a screw up by Swiftkey keyboard which did not revert the keyboard properly.
Please ?
Hi,
I recenty changed my stock rom to the lastest SVHD (1.7.3). There is no voice to text icon on the 'HTC Sense Input' keyboard. Also the 'hide keyboard' button is missing. I tried some keyboads from the play store and they also lacked these buttons. So is it like nobody wasn't using them and they got deleted? Is there a way to bring them back? At least the 'hide keyboard' button would be nice because some that I use apps still need it.
I installed SwiftKey, but it seems whenever I reboot the phone it goes back to Samsng keyboard. There's no way to un-select Samsung keyboard in the Input options (option is disabled) and whatever I set for default keyboard gets forgotten on reboot.
Anyone know a fix for this?
