The keys on my Cingular 8125 have started to go out, so I am forced to use the screen tapping method instead. Since the standard WM keyboard has tiny keys, it doesn't really work too good and I downloaded some 3rd party keyboards instead.
I have the Molski AKU3.3 firmware installed just in case it makes a difference, but when I try to switch to the new keyboard it doesn't let me. I go to Setting > Input and select the new keyboard from the drop down, but it just goes back to the standard WM keyboard every time.
Anyone know how to fix this little glitch?
Anyone have an idea on how to fix this issue?

Just a silly annoyance - maybe you have a way out of it. I have checked the reg and my TyTN does have the HasKeyboard set to 1........but anytime I do anything that requires input the on-screen comes up......but I have the great TyTN keyboard and don't need it! plus it messes up all the input windows for new mail etc to half height!
how can I make that thing stay away until I want it?
Just start typing with the hardware keyboard and the popup keyboard should go away. If you just keep using the real keyboard, the software one shouldn't popup after a while.
I'v have loaded BlackBerry Connect 4.0 and love the additional features but my company has BES policy to lock the device every 20 minutes.
This is not a big problem but requires me to use a stylus to tap in my password (which is numeric).
Is there a SIP Keyboard available that is only numeric and has fairly big buttons? I can then set that as my default keypad and enter my password using a finger.
i think you might be referring to this, although im not sure as i seem to have lost my secret decoder ring..
Thanks, installing it now.
Edit
Doesn't seem to work. It installed ok but when I select Phone Pad from the list it just drops back to Keyboard. I can't seem to get it to work. It looks like the right application so just a matter of trying to get it to work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I installed it and it works just fine, did you soft reset after it installed?!? i dont remember if it does it automatically or not
Yep, the soft reset is required by the installer. Phone Pad shows up in the list of SIP items but selecting it just causes the input to drop back to keyboard.
Frustrating.
Thanks to everyone for you help. In desperation I did a hard reset, got Phone Pad to work, and then started putting my apps back one at a time.
All is now working nicely, thanks.
Not sure if it is related but last thing I did was install NetUse to permit access to my home network and Phone Pad again stopped working. I saw a report from someone else that mentioned Phone Pad just stopping after a few hours but I don't know if that is related.
I can't be bothered rebuilding my PDA again so I am just going to give up.
Use this program (sipchange).
Install and then select Phonepad as the default SIP.
Next time you softreset it will always select the PhonePad as the default input method.
Simple!

Nope, already tried that. It appears that Sipchange can't help you if you can't select Phone Pad in the first place.
Just curious is their a way to disable it only in landscape mode?
Im using pocketcm and it pops up when ever im sending a text.
I checked in the regestry and i tried sktools, but its an older release.
Im running Schap's WM6 Pro 4.22 lite ROM and ive checked in his advanced tools...nada.
there's a bunch of programs that let you set different soft keyboard depending on if you're in portrait or landscape mode; one off the top of my head is PQzII. i think QuickMenu might also have the feature, but i can't check right now. anyway, set whatever soft keyboard you want for portrait mode, but for landscape, grab the soft keyboard named NullKeyboard. it's like a blank keyboard, which is as close as you can get to solving your problem. just use PQzII (or whatever) to set the landscape keyboard as NullKB, and you're all set.
Worked like a charm...Thanks
On my Kaiser, if it pops up in landscape mode, if I just start typing with my hardware keyboard, it goes away automatically. Does the Hermes not do that?

It does, but not when i use contactcm. Even now i noticed when i use null keyboard contactcm it still shows 2 send buttons on the screen and the keyboard comes back but u cant see it.. so null didnt really help with that program, No biggie ill just tap the screen to drop the keyboard. once i do that it dosnt pop back up, unless i close the program.. only happends on 2 programs i use.
My HD seems to have the occasional quirk, well two at the moment that are a bit annoying.
Firstly the time on the TF home screen has randomly changed styles twice now. I have no idea why and can't find a way of changing it back (after it changed the first time it changed back again the next day) Any ideas how/why and has anyone else had this?
The other main thing that is now really annoying me is the portrait keyboard has changed from full qwerty to compact qwerty, I have tried changing it back in the "input" setting but it doesn't want to save the setting. Again anyone have an idea why this has changed and any way I can change it back and keep it changed?
Also could anyone tell me what the name of the thin bar at the top of the TF screen is (and where I can find it?) because I would like to delete it if ti's possible.
Thanks

I had the same annoying compact querty problem coming out of nowhere and I found the solution: you can't change it from settings->input, but when you open any app which permits the virtual keyboard(eg: sms/mms) you will notice a little arrow "^" near the virtual keyboard button in the middle. when you press that arrow instead of the virtual keyboard popping up, it will popup a menu where you can select between compact/full querty and there it is, the change remains
for your clock problem, i think you have to slide it back from up to down to show the one you want. And yes the little arrow near sip sign open a finger friendly menu where you can choose compact or not. Hope it helps, in my manual for the HD all about this is tell, but i've read it...
PS: when you have a prob like that post a screenshot, use capsure for example, it work with HD.
Hi guys, i just installed a trial for Lingvsoft English>Farsi dictionary and the first thing i noticed was my keyboard had changed to something more stylus friend but not finger friendly.
I didn't take much notice to it thinking it was only for that program but noticed it was on every screen from SMS to Notes.
Even going to Settings>Input and changing Keyboard types doesn't work. It is on a setting called "Keyboard" and everytime i drop the menu and choose Full Qwerty and press Ok, it doesn't save and keeps the same setting over and over.
I have even uninstalled the program and soft resetted but it hasn't fixed it up.
I want to get back the original keyboard, please help me out.
try selecting something completely different, like block recogniser or transcriber or something and the restart the device. If it sticks choose try the compact qwerty and then restart. If that sticks too goto full qwert. If none of this works then it sounds like your qwerty has been replaced and you might need a hard-reset.
I couldn't change mine from the keyboard options under settings, it kept reverting back.
When you are in an sms press the little arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen and change it there, it worked for me.
