[Q] Galaxy S Swype Keyboard changed.. how to get it back - General Questions and Answers

Help! Last night somehow the 'qwerty' swype keyboard changed and the Q and W keys swapped themselves with A and Z keys. Some symbol locations have also changed around a bit.
I have no idea how this happened, my phone is not rooted and i have no apps that would do something like this..
What should I do? really don't want to have to reset the phone if i can avoid it, but I cant use it in its current configuration!

I havn't heard of anyone else having the problem before, and I have done research into changing keyboards/installing new ones but this doesn't appear to be the answer either.
I have tried restarting the phone, looked into the keyboard settings, changing it to and from the swype keyboard, but so far nothing will get it back to normal

Are you sure the language didnt change or something like that?

Hmmm which OS version?

Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband:i9000DTJP3
Build Number:FROYO.DTJP5

Try clearing the keyboard data.

BTW: you can always register for swype beta and download the latest version.

Oh snap... don't I feel like an idiot.. language had somehow changed itself to french.. the one place I didn't look.. thanks guys!!!

I lost all of my Input methods!

I don't know what the deal is, I had them this morning, and even after a restore, I don't have any of my Input methods anymore. They all show but when I select one it doesn't apply. I should have:
Block Recognizer
Compact QWERTY
Full QWERTY
Keyboard (it defaults to this every time)
Letter Recognizer
Phone Keyboard
Transcriber
I have recently installed the new Landscape Full Manila update but I had these options even after that.
Anyone know how I can reinstall these options?! I hate that default keyboard!
It seems like they are all there still, like I can see options for them all, etc but it just wont change, also its like the small arrow by the keyboard isn't activated and I cant click it, I can change the default keyboard from small to large, but that's it!
ERRRR, what pisses me off is I backup ALL THE TIME, before every app install even, and when I do a restore, it still doesn't work, WTF good are backups then! Or does Spite Backup just suck and I should be using another?
This worrying about everything from one min to the next with this device is the only bad thing about it.
The only suggestion I have for you is to do a hard reset and restore using the most recent back up file until you find a back up file that works for you. I have used sprite back up many times before but this has never happened to me.
Are you using the stock Fuze ROM?
Yeah I'm using the stock ROM but I bypassed the bloatware and installed TF3D that was just released in the software thread, the full one with landscape mode.
I tried several backups and none worked, strange, not sure what caused this but I did find a work-around, its a small app called SIPChange, it was a shot in the dark but it worked for me, for anyone else with this issue, try it:

This actually even fixed the little arrow issue I have that wasn't letting me select the Input method on the fly, I did notice it loads at every reset tho, I don't care as long as it works!
Thanks guys, I hope this thread will help anyone else with the issue.

Help with 1.5 update/ No keyboard

Hello Everyone.
First off thanks to everyone for making the android system do what it is supposed to. I have rooted my G1 and updated the firmware to 5.0.2Hr3_zh_signed build Plat-RC33 126986. I have noticed two things so far...Its seems to run very very slow for pretty much everything. I think it may be due to the fact that I am only running on a 1gb memory card. If thats the case please let me know what I need. I am not concerned with saving apps to the SD Card as I dont use many. I was more concerned with the Exchange as well os on screen keyboard. My only problem is the Keyboard doesnt even popup. While in messaging I tap where it tells me to but nothing happens. Any suggestions or am I missing something here?
It's called laggg. Apparently the phone can't handle it at times, so the keyboard doesn't pop-up. THe only way I solved this problem is by maxing out my CPU. Then it seems that the H build works flawlessly.
"It's called laggg. Apparently the phone can't handle it at times, so the keyboard doesn't pop-up. THe only way I solved this problem is by maxing out my CPU. Then it seems that the H build works flawlessly."
How exactly do I do that?
I have the same problem with no keyboard, but I am using apps to sd card. I was kind of surprised when i installed the h build that it basically wiped my phone even though i only hit alt-s, and never did alt-w. That didn't happen when i installed the g build. Any idea if that has anything to do with no soft keyboard popping up? I even installed the modified keyboard apk from the other thread.
Another question i have is if you have the phones speed maxed like you said you did if that drains the battery extra fast. It would seem like it would.
Edit: oh yeah, when i long press on a text field a pop up for changing input option comes up but there aren't any options to choose. Nothing. Any ideas?
Edit 2: No sooner do I post this then i go into the phone menu, choose Locale and Text, change the TouchInput Keyboard Type from qwerty to Compact Qwerty. CQ works so i change back to Qwerty and voila! soft keyboard. I don't know if it is key.apk but it is a soft keyboard, and that's progress.

[Q] Keyboard key problems

Okay, so shortly after flashing CM7, every five minutes or so a key on my (Gingerbread) keyboard stops working. After trying some things (like pushing a little harder, clicking other things) it works again. But then it happens to another key! I think I read one thread somewhere on the internet with some people saying using a different fixes the problem.. But I don't think it does :/ And I can't find any other threads about this problem. I can't even find that one again! Has anyone else been experiencing issues like this? Is this a problem with the ROM maybe? Things worked fine on all of my other ROMs, and the stock ROM. I'm really worried, and I hope this isn't a permanent issue. Sending my device back to get replaced would be really screwy for my schedules. I'm using an Inspire 4G btw, if that matters to any of you.
Anyone? Any tips? I can't tell if it really is a hardware issue or software
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G running Cyanogenmod 7
I have this issue with my stock inspire along with several others. Every now and then a key gets stuck and will not respond. I have to re-boot my phone. Right now I am using swype and so for it has not locked up any keys as of yet for about a week. It was happening to me approx once every 7 to 10 days. No fix that I know of. Hope they correct this issue with 2.3
I second the Swype keyboard - can't live without it!
:side note:
I'm using the latest version (I think) and the only issue that I've had is when I reboot the phone, sometimes the keyboard will work but the swiping feature will not (blue border flashes around the keyboard instead of posting the word I spelled). The fix is easy - go to Language and Keyboard, uncheck the box for Swype, run the Swype installer, click Enable swype, select it as the keyboard when the installer pops up the box for Input Type, and you're good to go (if it ever happens).

Swype Keyboard is having a mind of it's own [Help]

I woke up this morning and tried sending a text only to notice my Swype keyboard changed it's dictionary to Spanish. I went into the settings and all of the language options were checked so I unchecked all of them except for English. That didn't work and Swype will still only predict Spanish words. I checked it in the messaging app and browser but got the same results in both. I even rebooted the phone. Has anyone ever heard this before? Does anyone know a fix? I am thinking the only fix will be to delete Swype and reinstall it but I don't even know if I can reinstall it since it came preloaded on the device. Your help is much appreciated.
