Hello all. When I set my keyboard to compact qwerty is always reverts back to full keyboard. I have also tried the other settings but with the same result. Done a resstart etc but still no luck, does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Many Thanks Jez
Problem solved, with the keyboard open i.e you start writing a text. Tap on the white triangle at the bootm select your predered keyboard and thats it.

I have encountered this bug across all roms i use:
After some time, the keyboard gets stuck (mostly happens when entering a pasting a mobile number in a text in the "to:"): The phone keyboard gets stuck in numeric mode and the only solution is a hard reset.
How many people have had this error?
thx
Hi I also have this pb but not HR is needed. Just reselect the keyboard in the keyboard list and letters come back...
But i did not find the way to fix this pb for good. Advices are welcome
This should sort you out:

My on-screen keyboard is only displaying numbers, with no option to switch to qwerty. The only qwerty characters available are "p" and "w", which appear to the top right of the keyboard.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get the normal qwerty keyboard back??

Did you disable eT9 and to get Auto suggest and auto complete back? If so that is probably what did it.
I had the same problem when I hacked my Tilt 2 to get get auto suggest and auto complete back. Apparently when you do this it works fine until the fallowing happens:
A. You get to a field that triggers you keyboard to switch number entry mode (Nummber pad with P and W)
b. You get to a field that trigger the keyboard to internet entry mode (Keyboard with ".com" and "/" but no spacebar).
Once you enter either mode you can't key you regular keyboard back.
If that is what happened to you, your not the only one.

I haven;t found a way to make it work without breaking the keyboard. I had to do a clear storage and learn to use T9. It better than a broken keyboard.
Yes that's what I did. If I have auto-suggest but NOT auto-complete on do you know if this will avoid the problem??

I'm not really sure. I tried several ways and nothing worked, my guess is your are likely to still have an issue. BTW going back an changeing the registry edits back did not fix the issues for me. I had to clear storage and start from scratch each time.
For now I'm learning to live with XT9. I don't like it as much as the original, but it is usable. The alternative is using MS tiny little SW keyboard, and to me, that is even worse.
Now if someone could figure out how to keep the alternate keyboards from popping up, in theory, that should remedy the issue. Unfortunately, I have no such skill.

Try this to fix it: start Opera, tap the url field, which will bring up the "search the web" field. Then tap the "search the web" field. This should fix your keyboard (at least it works for me), at least until the next time something triggers the keyboard problem.

Thanks for the input, good to know.
That may be a work around for the Internet input issue (maybe), but we still have the issue with the numeric input Keyboard. Thus far the best option, at least for me, is to live with XT9 until a terminate fix is found.
On the bright side, over all I love my TP2/Tilt2!

Actually, this works for the numeric input keyboard issue as well - I have experienced this first hand. addmittedly, it is a bit of a pain to switch from whatever you happen to be doing, to opera, just to fix your keyboard.
Any one else have this issue and were they able to resolve it?
When ever I try to enter an appt into the calendar my touch input switches to a numeric pad with a P and a W. It is the same pad people have gotten with Opera 9. It does not switch back unless I go to Opera (it was never open) and touch on the address bar. At this point it will go back to the Qwerty touch input. This is a very clunky work around but it is the only one I am aware of.
It will do this even if I use the hardware keyboard to input data in the appt fields. Anyone know what causes this or how we can fix it?
Because you didn't mention witch rom you use I can only say try another rom. I never have had this problem. Or you can try a hard reset first.
I am using the stock ATT rom. I have hard reset it a few times for other reasons and it is still the same.
If you are entering text it stays as qwerty but as soon as you go to one of the drop down boxes for the time of the appt it switches to the number pad with the w and the p whichis fine as you are entering numbers. Unfortunately it does not change back to qwerty even if you try and add somting in the text boxes again.
If you open Opera and click first on the address bar, then on the Google search bar, the qwerty keyboard usually comes back.
i couldn't find a definitive answer for this, so I'm throwing my question out there:
I just moved to Starburst 1.3.3.4 from LeeDroid 2.3d, and now I find that Starburst, despite having Chinese language support, lacks the Chinese toggle that the stock HTC keyboard had (w/ LeeDroid had too).
Does anyone know how to put in the Chi language toggle? I've tried downloading Google's IME, and although it installed, nothing changed.
You have to change the input since you installed a new keyboard. Open up the keyboard in sms or something and in a text field, right click, well press down for few seconds and menu will pop up, select input method and change it.

Yep, stumbled onto this solution when my finger strayed a second too long into the SMS text box. Whaddaya know, voila! --input method came up, and the keyboard with Google IME I installed showed up.
Thanks anyway, appreciate your dropping by to assist.
Hello all,
Lately at random times, in any application where text can be typed, example, messages, my keyboard will randomly start typing more than I actually am.
To explain better, I can type like a 6 letter word but after that if I press any other character, the keyboard will register me pressing 4 characters, the space bar and the button to get numbers/special characters.
Closing the app and reopening usually does not help, but restarting the phone does.
Is there a fix for this or should I just restart the phone when it happens.
(this is not a major inconvenience, but it is an annoyance)
EDIT: In case it is relevant, I am running cm7.0.3.
which keyboard are u using? I would suggest you to use different keyboard like GB Keyboard or Swift or even Swype. Just search for keyboard in market and install the one you like.
Please report if problem persists.
No custom keyboard, just the default one in cm7.
