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.

Cannot change keyboard entry method - help please

G2 using MoDaCo ROM v2.9 with teknologist 1.9 kernel.
I've been using the TouchPal keyboard for ages and today I thought I'd download and try some others. I've always found the Touchpal keyboard to be excellent though.
Anyway, I downloaded and installed a couple of alternatives. I selected one in settings and attempted to try it but the phone automatically used the default Touch Input keyboard.
I tried the Handcent keyboard, nothing doing - it still used the default Touch Input keyboard.
I tried to go back to Touchpal and still nothing doing; I'm stuck on the default keyboard. I've tried rebooting the phone to no effect.
Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this?
OK, it seems to be working again now.

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.

[Q] Galaxy S Swype Keyboard changed.. how to get it back

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?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
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!!!

Pinch-to-Zoom Change Keyboard Type Not Working?

When I first got this tablet I could pinch-to-zoom and select split keyboard or floating keyboard. Now it's not working. The multi-touch gesture seems to do nothing. The installed version of the keyboard is Samsung Keyboard 1.0. It says in the options that pinch-to-zoom on the keyboard zone would bring up the style selection menu (as it should). It just refuses to recognize my gesture. This is on a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
Anyone else experience this? Any ideas if removing an app or something may have done this? Can't figure it out for the life of me.
Did you try to clear the keyboards data ?

I tried all the suggestions you guys mentioned and still nothing. I have a feeling the keyboard apk is unable to save data because I am still having this same problem from my previous thread. My internal sdcard refuses to let me delete corrupted files from it again and I think maybe the keyboards settings are saved there. I also cannot save a screenshot or user defined words with my keyboard.

SAME ****
Same problem here, just got new TAB 2
Android 4.0.3 Samsung Keyboard 1.0 pinch to zoom on keyboard not working to choose keyboard style. Tried to clean cahce and so on.. and nothing. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Any one having same problem? Or had in the past?
Wassup With That!?
Go this Nifty Tablet on Sunday and after playing around with Google Maps this morning I noticed the pinch function was not working, I even tried it on a few pictures and in a few web browsers, no luck. i noticed this while playing Video games but i brushed it off, I was playing "Dead Trigger" & "Modern Combat 3" in game the camera goes haywire or would not respond to my touch at all and would continue to not work correctly unless i do a reboot and jump right back in as soon as the tab is back up and running. I have to do this a few times before it all goes back to normal.
I'm wondering if this is a hardware defect and i should return it for a new unit or should i just wait it off untill a new software release hopefully fixes this issue.
or i might just return it and upgrade to a NOTE
Android 4.1.1 - Model GT-P5113
I got this multi touch problem just after i updated the tablet to jb.
Guess its software error or something.
Sometimes works (after reboot) and then it doesnt work anymore.
