I couldn't see this same problem anywhere else, please post the link if you know of another place this topic has come up.
I have a MyTouch 4G which is running Android 2.2.1 I'm not terribly techno-savvy, so it isn't rooted, there's nothing on it you can't find in the Android Market.
The problem I'm having is that when I get a text, for instance (this is just one example, it's not just a texting problem) when I pull up the keyboard and try to type, whether it's tapping a letter or using swype, nothing appears in the text box. The screen is obviously fine because I can navigate to, and open the messaging program and even tap the window where my response will show bringing up the keyboard. It's only after this point for 20-30 seconds or so, whatever I type doesn't populate the "Type to compose" box. The text prediction will even bring up a suggested word, but if I tap on it, nothing happens. It's not a lag, the words don't all appear suddenly 20 seconds later.
This was only one example, it happens any time I need to type. The Google search box, the search box in contacts, a note in DropBox....anything.
Has anyone else had this same issue? Or, do you have any ideas as to what I might try to get this problem taken care of?
Thank you in advance
i had the same Problem on my galaxy s when i still had android 2.1
After the Update to Froyo the problem disapeared
Maybe you should root your phone and install a different kernel and rom?
I am quit sure that this would fix your problem

Rooting my phone scares me

I'm pretty unskilled with things like rooting my phone. Apart from that, the root procedure on the MT4G is a complicated one, at least the ones I've seen.
Thanks for the reply though Jcyber, Any other ideas folks?

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.

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
Hey, this is only my second post here. I kinda feel like a leech since all I ever do is look around and try to gain some knowledge for myself.
But I was hoping nobody would mind and maybe try for some help.
Anyways, I tried doing some searching through the forums but couldn't find anything on this.
About a week or two ago I just updated my fuze to the htc 5.11.502.2 rom.
Besides the stupid problem of texts not getting marked read I have found another weird little problem.
My on screen keyboards are a little messed up.
When I goto "Phone Keypad" (whether it be for SMS or anything else) it brings up the keypad and looks how it is supposed to. Although whenever I click a button to try and spell something out... well it does not give me a letter at all, just the number associated with that button.
Then if I goto select my "compact qwerty" keyboard it does the same thing. brings up the keyboard and i see the letters, but whenever I hit a letter it types a number instead.
then sometimes it will actually show the numbers... but the "ABC" box will be greyed out and i wont be able to select it.
yeah i know i suck for using the htc roms, but i never really wanted to put the effort into looking for a custom rom, there are so many choices i didn't even bother looking. i would have gone crazy because there are so many choices and i am a very indecisive person.
so anyways. do i have to hard reset? or is there some quick fix i can do?
I've searched and can't apparently think of the right combination of words to describe this wonky behavior that is driving me out of my fricking mind.
Here's the issue - someone texts me, I hit the envelope, it starts to open it up, then I switch right away to the keyboard to actually coherently type a response and without fail the keyboard registers the first few letters in the text message and then goes right into trying to match an autocomplete match in the phonebook and kicks out of the text message completely.
The only way to stop this behavior is to sit there like a retard waiting patiently for the phone to reorient itself after opening the keyboard and then give it a few extra seconds just to be safe.
I could kill a midget I'm so fed up with this.
Ideas?
I am having the same problem. Running stock ROM with HTC Black TouchFlo 3D theme. Any advice would be appreciated.
I KNOW others have this issue - come on someone has to know a fix . . ..
Pretty please with a cherry on top?

I finally flashed a new ROM (EnergyROM Mercury). The problem is gone. I know it is not a fix, but it is a resolution. It was very frustrating. Good luck.
So ive been using my sensation for 2 weeks and for the last 2 days, alot of the call I get only have the "end call" button and no green answer call. So i can either just let it ring or cut the call.
Obv. there are no hardware buttons... !? PLEASE HELP! thanks.
update:
here is a screenshot of what I mean...

In the words of a very wise man, have you tried turning it off and then on again?
I had a glitch in my phone. Turn off fastboot and then restart he phone. The option is in the Power options.
Or if you have an app called Mr. Number, it has this effect too. It's just not compatible.
yea, tried all the usual
When I got the phone after a few days it started happening... out of the box, no rooting/play around sense 3 all intact.
the I reset the phone to factory from the boot loader. problem came back after a while.
no, I'm using "go launcher" i don't have lots of apps, i run it light so save on ram and battery (hence "go launcher" and no "sense 3.0") and the problem is back. It happen to certain numbers first but now it seems to be the case with all of them.
Ive tired fast boot and everything.
one thing ive installed consistently through every scenario is "google voice", i really love it. I will try uninstalling it if anyone thinks its plausible. I think its just gingerbread messin around. I googled the issue and this is all i could find..

Hey all,
I'm curious if any of you are having this issue.
Basically, I'll lock my phone then get a text, groupme, or hangouts message and then unlock and swipe down to see my notifications/messages, then I will tap on one to respond and then go to type and nothing will appear. The word suggestions at the top of the keyboard are accurate to what I'm typing, but nothing appears.
If I close the app and re-open that resolves the issue.
Sometimes re-locking and waiting a bit will resolve the issue as well.
This has also occurred in Safe Mode for me.

Not exactly what you're going through, but when I try to type in Chrome (forum replies, reddit, etc) my keyboard will lock up for a good 30-45 seconds and I have to wait for it to catch up. It's completely frustrating.

Not the same issue, but I also have the same issue in Chrome and Firefox. So you are not alone, but that's not the issue I'm referring to for this thread.
