I have an app that requires me to enter a number from a numeric keypad. I need to enter a number with a decimal point but the keypad it gives me just has numbers and no decimal point. Is there any way to change the keypad?
My previous phone, an HTC One X, has the same version of the same app, but it gives me a full keyboard.
Thanks!

I saw that on a friend's mobile banking app, also on the m8. I changed it to the Google keyboard as a work around - no issues since.

my gf has two entries in my phone book; her name, and also ICE (in case of emergency). but whenever I get a call it comes up as ice,. is there a way to control this behaviour?

Go to your gf's contact with both numbers displayed, press and hold the one you want as the default number. When the option menu comes up select 'set as primary number' option.
That should work.

I had this too - does her the first letter of her name start after "I"? You might be able to change her name to "A"+ her name ???

No, her name begins with A already! For some reason ICE always wins.

I'm sure there used to be an easy way to change the keyboard type on the DHD, without having to go into Settings ie switching between QWERTY/Phone Pad/Compact.... I can't remember where this was.
Anybody know?
Hold down any text input box whilst selected, press input method and then choose your keyboard. Note that only the keyboards you have enabled in settings will appear.

When I hold down a text input box I just get the paste option... unless I'm misunderstanding...?
Thanks.

Do you have other keyboards installed AND enabled in Settings > Language & keyboard ?
Well, I've got the three standard HTC keyboards listed there... I don't see where one enables them as such, just a radio button to select the one you want to use.

Oh, I mis read your post. As already said before, it's that hard to change on Android.
The workaround is to install an additional input method; I installed Swype. So I have qwerty on Swype and switch to phone-keypad on the default keyboard.
Has anyone got the gingerbread keyboard to work on desire HD, mine keep foreclosing whilst it works flawlessly on my desire.

When in the dialer and I enter the first few letters of someone's name, it sometimes only allows me to only select the default number, it does not give me the option to select other numbers for the specified contact. Is there a way to fix this or am I missing something?
Thanks.
what rom and theme are you using?
I think that's a touchwiz thing to be honest. I can't say for sure though. The only way I've been able to go around it is by hitting the 'contacts' button towards the top of the dialer or to go into the actual contacts 'app' and choose from there.
Jm, having u tried doing that right from ur contacts instead of the dialer?

That's not his question. It works from contacts.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, I know it works from contacts.
I am currently on RandomRom Thunderhawk 3.3 but I do not think it is ROM related as I have experienced it with other roms.
Ok..I'm going to try what u did with the rom I'm on and see what happens...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
the weird thing is that it does not happen all the time, sometimes it gives me a choice and other times it does not
Ok, I tried it. Press the letters of the contact, u will have a little arrow next to the contact, press the arrow, it will bring up that contact on a small separate window. Press the number again and it should display the other numbers for that specific contact. If there is only one number, that's all its going to show as the end result.

Ok, just to clarify.. my issue is choosing numbers belonging the same contact
When you start typing name, if you select contact before hitting drop down arrow it will only match the default number. To choose non default number you must hit arrow before tapping the contact if it is the 1st result.
Thanks.

Perhaps clear the defaults for the contacts in question. Setting one number for a contact as a default is likely causing your dialer to DEFAULT to that number. For contacts without a default number the dialer will ask you which number to use.

That's why I stated the particular method.

I just wondered is there any way of viewing the words the phone has saved as I've been typing as I have noticed a few times I've saved ones I didn't mean too. I would like to remove these from the dictionary if its possible?
This might help. This is in Sense 3.6, and is possibly similar in 4.0. Won't hurt to try anyway. Go to Settings-Language & Keyboard-and select the 3 line button in the right side next to Touch Input. It will be at the very bottom

Thanks; I will try this on my replacement when it arrives later today and hopefully it will be the same for Sense 4.0
It's settings, language and keyboard, HTC sense input, personal dictionary and then edit personal dictionary.

When the m8 stock keyboard changes to numpad there doesn't appear to be a period so I can't enter decimal places.
Anyone else noticed this or know how to get around besides installing alternative keyboard or cut paste?

No problem here either, I have 3 rows of symbols under 1-0.
I was just using website version of Gmail and the keyboard you guys are talking about appeared when I needed to type a verification code. I think what I was seeing is an app issue and that keyboard styles are also app dependent
