I think I know what is messing up the keyboard on some Evo's after the update. I can't confirm this yet, as mine has always worked perfectly. Go to settings>language and keyboard>touch input and go into language settings. Deselect all but us English. This should remove the language button. Also, if you need other language support, just make sure you have English selected and press and hold on the language button to do voice input. Let me know if this works.

none of these worked for me sadly
when i turned off all but english i get a greyed out En language button. When i have multi selected and hold i get nothing there too.
This didn't work for me on two separate evo's I just updated with the rooted 2.2 OTA update. Any other ideas?
Not Successful
I am having the same issue. I lost the voice input once i did the update. This feature is actually very helpful for me so it's a shame. Can someone please help.
SPOT ON MY FRIEND!
I'd buy you a pint if I could!

Hi guys,
Bit of an annoying one this that I hope one of you extremely clever registry devs can tweak for me.
When writing emails / text messages i always use the physical keyboard, however I like the XT9 setting as it automatically spell checks and inserts capitals / punctuation etc.
The problem is i can easily set it to XT9 in the settings or by opening the software keyboard and pressing the ABC / XT9 button
or
by using the green function key, space (XT9), XT9 English
but as soon as I've completed my message or turned off the handset etc. it's forgotten, meaning I have to do this manually each time.
Is there any way to set default as XT9 in registry?
Kind Regards
Darren
Anybody got any ideas here? Driving me mad doing it manually every time.
I've just got my new TouchPro2 and I'm suffering from exactly the same problem. I love the new phone but this is the one thing that's driving me nuts!
I used to have it in my TPro and now it's gone missing in the TP2
I know, well you can still use it but many keypresses per use.
Slightly annoying.
I find this highly annoying too. I don't see why it can't be in XT9 as standard or at least just remember the last setting used!?
It's working!!! I've just found out that if you activate T9 in the Full QWERTY virtual keyboard, you'll get it work using the hardware keyboard.
did you not even read the original post?
of course it works like that, however only for that session. as soon as you're done and try and send another text or email etc you'll have to press those buttons again to activate it.
I don't have any problem typing using T9 messages after another using the hardware keyboard...
Even after I soft reset it, it's still working
haha brilliant, worked it out.
Here's the fix...i think.
Open new message in portrait, open software keyboard, click XT9 and then OK to close the window.
Rotate handset and do the same, open software keyboard, select XT9 and quit using "OK".
After this it should default to XT9.
You need to use the OK to close though and save the setting. If you send or cancel your settings will be forgotten.
This will save for all portrait and landscape modes. You'll need to do it for each area but i can agree that i have it saved in texts and emails now.
No more having to repeat actions over and over again.
Edit: seems to only save sometimes, also totally unable to save the XT9 setting in Touchflo conversation mode with text messaging.
bump...
I really enjoy using the functionality of xt9. And subsequently would greatly appreciate it having it available while using the hardware keyboard. any thoughts of having this available by default without having to set it to XT9 each time i open the keyboard
There has to be a registry setting somewhere...

It does "per session" but it does not stick on program close/reset.
boooooooooooooooooooo....man i hope someone can figure this out
Has anyone figured this out? It's really annoying that I have to enable XT9 with several different keystrokes at the beginning of any txt msg...

HD/WVGA Tweak
On some customer ROM's I have seen a program called WVGA or HD Tweak. I searched and found CAB file for this as well. In this software, there is an option to turn on X9 all the time. You can also set how many suggested words to pop up. It reminds me of how the WING would operate when it suggested words!
Wow, thread starter, you read my mind. I've been looking for something like this since the day I got my phone.

This turns on Windows Default X9, which makes phone SIP & compact qwerty SIP inoperable (only outputs numbers). So, this in no way is a fix.
And, the cab you're referring to is EZInput 1.5 specific, has 0 affect on EZInput 2.x.

same thing happened to me when I tried to use it. Turns the phone SIP inoperable.
no solution for this issue yet? (aka, bump!)
I was having problems getting Google Voice Actions to work here in the UK, the actions would always come back as if I had performed a voice search. Seems the solution is to change the language:
Press Menu -> Setting -> Voice Input/Output -> Voice Recognizer Settings -> Language -? set to English (Generic)
Thank you, thank you and thank you!
It works! Hooray!
Or English US, oddly or maybe not.
its still rubbish for now. No way to get your contact into the TO field for texting, plus any sentence with more than 7 or 8 words will cause a "server error". still, Im optimistic, they will update it soon.
thanks! this is much better, still a bit dodgy, cant get it to fill in to: fields. Also, the alarm clock setting wont work, telling me i need to install the latest clock, im running CM6 RC2

So I found out how to start google now but all it does is returning searches on google. It won"t let me use voice commands like send text, call this or that, navigate to...
I tried both my native language (dutch) which obviously wouldn't work, but english isn't working too. How do I achieve voice commands?

hold down the Home button, then choose the middle button on the bottom. This will bring you to the Google Now landing page w/o it being in the search field. Just say "Google" and then as a test ask it "What is the temperature outside" and see if you get any results.
hope that helps holding the Menu button goes to Google Now but puts you in the search box by default
Still no cigar. All I get is Google results...

hey, sorry if this is was asked before, i tried searching but couldnt find anything relevant.
Can anyone explain a bit how to deal with google now after JB update?
Now, when i hold the home button it opens with the search bar and some cards (weather for example).
But how do you tell it to "Set an alarm" or start a timer, or call a person from your contact list? I tried calling a person from my contact list by saing "call xx xxx" and it recognized the person name, but actually it did a search for nearby locations and called a number from the location instead of callin the person in my contact list.
Also, i was playing in the options and there was an option to say "google" instead of tappin on the mic, but now i cannot figure where it was.
Is it possible to have the default speak-to-action when holding the home button instead - siri like style - my guess is its not possible?
What language do you speak?
E: Go to google now and press menu button. Somewhere you should see offline speech recognision. Cards only work with the languages listed.

I already set it to English General (also tried English US)
Still cant find where that "say google to activate" option was.
Edit: actually i found it, when language is english general it wouldn't show, so its mandatory to be set in English US and it will appear.
Anyway, is there any way to have the voice interface by default when long pressing home?
Try setting system language to english too.

I just updated my SM-T800 to lollipop 5.02 (T800XXU1BOCC_T800XAC1BOC4_XAC) and I'm using google keyboard. The problem I'm having is that I can't add words to the dictionary. ie. if I type "haha" I have the option of selecting "Hanna" or other similar words but I can't select "haha" and "touch to save" doesn't appear. I think there's a problem with the personal dictionary or loading the personal dictionary. When I go into [settings-general-language and input-google keyboard settings-google keyboard-text correction] and tap on personal dictionary I'm routed to wifi settings. I have tried a factory reset and reflashing the stock rom twice.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is anyone able to help?
No personal dictionary

Yes, I am.
The normal route to add to or edit sends me to my Network settings.
Using stock android, Google Now launcher. 5.0.2.android. Google keyboard
Had to reset tablet and reinstall everything. Since then...gone.
Annoying obviously.
No idea why, how it happened.

Hi. I have the same issue. Non more solution ?
This problem persists until now, June 2016.
Yes I have this also. Android 5.0.2 on a note pro tab. My phone (6.0.1) does not rout me to the wifi settings in the same way, but still seems to be missing the option to add words on the fly as you type them. Does this mean that the only way to add words to your personal dictionary is to record them somewhere and then do so directly via the settings interface? How archaic..
It also took me a while to realise that the settings can only be accessed via the comma button (long press) from the keyboard itself, as there is now no flag to alert you to this since the recent update, and apparently no other way in.
Nevertheless, and even in the absence of any 'add to dictionary' option, the dictionary did seem to fill up with endless amounts of partial, wrong, or capitalised words (for instance I just got 'Calif' when I typed the 'capit' just now - what is a Calif'???).
I deleted all data from the app, but still they come, as Jare said. I would love to be able to access whatever dictionary this thing is using, and kill it, because it is not English. If there is a supplementary dictionary of acronyms and abbreviations and cultural slang then that should be an option you can opt out of.
A Spell checker should never autocorrect to a word that is not correct in the language you are writing - this is rather obvious I would have thought. For people who work on this gear full time a bit more control would be great.
