I cannot get compact QWERTY to go away - Touch HD General

I used the hack to disable Compact QWERTY but it keeps coming up even though it is not in the selector for SIP keyboards.
I've tried everything but I can't seem to figure this out.
Is there a way to completly remove Compact QWERTY instead of just disabling it?

On latest roms including duttys 2.3 compact qwerty no longer exists.
You've already said you use SIP change, so I'm not sure why it keeps coming up and once you select the keyboard you wanting using SIP change and reset phone, it should then be your default!
Try going to Start/Settings/Personal/Input and see which keyboard is selected

I am using the latest official ROM 1.19.831.0 when I look at the keybpard settings it has full QWERTY as the defaut and I can't even see the compact one.
Is there a way to delete compact all together? If not I may have to switch to a cooked ROM.

It is odd, I cannot pin down when I get compact rather than full.
I tried to re-enable compact reset then disable and reset again and the compact keyboard will still show up.

The only thing which comes to mind is possibly a reflash or hard reset
I've installed fingerkeyboard2 and use SIP change so fingerkeyboard is default. Works everytime

I deleted the reg keys and it seems to work, sometimes the other qwerty keyboard comes up but I hate to disable that one.

Ok my phone hates the full qwerty! I kept getting the standard keyboard instead of the full one even though in the settings full is the default. I disabled it in the registry and it still comes up, when it happend the full keyboard disappears.
I may have to hard reset and start over!

Has anyone else suffered from the Compact QWERTY keyboard that won't go away? I'm using standard ROM and for the life of me just recently it's stuck on Compact QWERTY. Every time I change to "Full QWERTY" and "ok", it just reverts to compact QWERTY, and it's starting to really, really annoy me.
Could someone suggest why this is happening and how I might fix it (happy to edit the registry settings if someone can tell me where to look?)
Thanks,
Petrov.

Have you tried going to settings > Personal > Input and selecting 'Full Qwerty'?
Alternatively try installing SIP change and selecting 'Full Qwerty'
OR again, another alternative is to use FingerKeyboard V2.1

Thansk for the tips Fallen. I had tried changing it through Settings, but that was what was not working unfortunately. I was about to try your SIP changes suggestion, but I found another solution.
I opened Total Commander, and at the bottom right of TC, there is a little keyboard symbol. When I hit that, it brought up the option to change the k/b to Full QWERTY (amongst other options). I changed it and, since then, it hasn't changed back to Compact QWERT - so my problem seems to have been resolved.
Many thanks,
Petrov.

PCM Keyboard isnt working

hi,just installed the pcm keyboard on my hermes.
now i want to setup the keyboard in the system settings, but if i choose the PCM keyboard and click OK, the pcm keyboard is still not choosen but therefore the standard keyboard.
another problem. if i choose PCM Keyboard and then Options, there comes a message up
Code:
PocketCM Keyboard has to be the current SIP in order to configure it.
And now?
tried a reset ?
Same problem here. I've been trying lots of different versions without success. I uninstalled many other apps, removed today plugins, enjoyed magical steps such as [reset, install, reset, select, reset and try to use] and even after hours and hours of setups I never saw what this soft was looking like :-(
I'm running WM5 on HTC wirzard (Qtek 9100).
You must download SIP Changer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008
Then run Programs - SIP changer and change keyboard on PCM keyboard. Then you can go to Setting and set up PCM keyboard.

I did this twice, still doesn't work !
I had the same problem, Sleuth's SIP Changer fix it, never had that problem since.
Try doing it after a soft reset.
I had a similar problem, here is what happened with me:
1. I uninstalled v0.8 then installed the latest one
2. tried to change the options of the KB in the settings menu..
3. I got the same message
4. the I looked at the kb icon (down near the soft keys) and it was not set to PCM kb..
so all I did is changing it to PCM kb and then went back to options and everything works fine now...
this might sound very stupid.. but it worked for me... I can't understand why this happened in the first place.. but you can give it a try..
cheers
my problem was solved with the SIP Changer
Sorry for last post. I didn't understand SIPchanger needed a soft reset. This works now. Thanks !

TouchPal wont show after a while

Hi folks
I love this forum and am so glad its here, it seems to be the only place where ppl can get support for the HD right now.
I am using the TouchPal keyboard 3.5. It installed fine and I started using it and configuring it grand etc. But after a while it stops responding.
If I click on the small keyoard icon at the bottom of my screen, no keyboard pops up whatsoever. If I go to settings and change the default keyboard from TouchPal to say - Full Querty and press OK, the change does not take place (If I go back into settings, the keyboard is reset to TouchPal).
So I am left wthout a keyboard and I have to do a full restart of the phone. If I uninstall TouchPal all is well and the keyboard system reverts back to working normally.
Has anyone else expereinced similar ?
Many thanks for any help

iv got version 3.5 aswel, iv had no problems with it
the only problem i have is that, in landscape mode the key sizes dont increase, it appears small, but never the less a great keyboard
Hi xdaman85
Try running Remote Desktop and see if the keyboard behaves there, thats where it dies on me.

just tried that, no problem what so ever
try this
uninstall, soft reset, install, soft reset, then go to settings, inputs, choose touchpal as default keyboard, then press ok, then soft reset
i know thats long but it should do the trick, seems to me as if that it wasnt installed correctly and theres some errors, so try what i said and let me know if it works
OK guys, it seems I am not alone in having prolems with TouchPal on the HD. See this thread on CoolTek's forum.
http://www.cootek.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=742&PN=1
I have tried everything, I have uninstalled the kb, reinstalled it. Last night I completely reinstalled the entire phone (hard reset, wipe, reistall) but TouchPal still stops working after a while.

just the thread, i guess your right, your not alone...but..its still wierd as iv been using touchpal since last wednesday and its still working fine for me
could it be that touchpal is conflicting with another keyboard on the device?
Have you gone to settings/inputs and selected touchpal as the keyboard?
I cant think of any other ideas because its working perfectly for me
Thanks xdaman
Just done a new re-install and it seems ok now. TBH I am now using the version from Cooltek so I may have had myself to blame.
On another note, I am having probs setting custom commands, I have the followig questions, can anyone offer any wisdom ?
You can setup custom commands such as Ctrl+z etc. They can be stored in place holders accessed by tab+downslide on the Control Tab button (the one with the 4 arrows). The instructions for creating custom command scan be found in the manual (section 4.2) here
Here are my questions
1. How do you create a combination command? e.g. They have a built in command called "Select All && Copy". This is 2 commands. How do you create this ?
2. After I mess up all my command buttons. How do I reset them to their defaults ?
3. When I create a command, Is Flag5 the ASCII key code? The manual is not specific on this. Also, if Flag5 is the ASCII code, why do I need to then enter the Alphabet index of the letter ?
4. I only seem to be able to edit the top Custom command button. If I try and assign values to the lower buttons, the edit appears in the top button. Is this a bug ?
cant install/wont install
downloaded the cab file..after it ran..it looks like explorer window pops up and tried to o something..anyway it says the page cant be found..tried loading in both card and local and get the same response..it does tell me the it was unsuccessful in loading
i gues its the lastest becuase i downloaded from the site

HTC SIPs stuck on numeric input?

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with the HTC SIPs (Full Qwerty and Compact Qwerty) - they're both stuck on numeric input and won't switch back to text input mode.
ie, I click on the "ABC" button and nothing happens. I therefore can't enter anything other than numbers and symbols!
Has anyone else seen this issue? I'm having to use PCM Keyboard in the meantime, which is frustrating as it doesn't have easy access to "." etc.
Thanks
J
PCM Keyboard prevents the HTC SIPs from working properly. Either remove PCK Keyboard or try the latest version (0.19)
I have the same problem
I have the same problem.
I haven't installed any additional keyboard software, and suddenly my text keyboard is stuck on numerics.
I have a feeling this may have been something to do with the latest firmware from HTC that I've recently installed.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Pete

Do you have HD Tweak installed?
this will happen if you enable T9
Sorted
Yep, that was it
Sorted - Thankyouverymuchsir
okay so I too now have this same problem, originally I had Dutty's Leo R6 on my phone with HDTweak so I decided to reflash my phone with Dutty's Leo R7 and this time not install HDTweak and see if it works.... But even after doing that, I still keep getting all 3 types of the keyboard inputs stuck on numbers and symbols. after a soft reset whenever I try and type in a text, the first time it usually works fine. But after I have sent the 1st message or just returned to the home tab and try to write another msg, all input keyboards are stuck. Note: I can temporarily fix it by clicking on a previous message, waiting for the menu to popup from the threaded view and then closing it, but after writing that message it will revert back to being stuck
So no HDTweak installed, using new HTC Messaging App, have turned off T9 Autocompletion + Symbol Lock under Input Options and I have also tried installing geniusgeng's cab here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486187&highlight=[solution]+qwerty+keyboard but that doesn't work...any thoughts on how I can fix this with something more permanent?
Thanks
Not sure of any reg tweaks, but why don't you install HD Tweak and then disable T9
Hey, thanks for the amazingly fast reply!!!
okay so I just tried reinstalling HDTweak again and disabling T9, but its still not working I keep having the same trouble. I have also tried all different combinations of disabling T9 only in HDTweak, or both HDTweak and under Input Options and only in Input Options and so on.... but the problem doesn't seem to get resolved.
I have experimented some more and it turns out that the keyboard will only get stuck when I go to the messages tab and click on a text I received to reply to it. If i go to the messages tab and create a new message (where I have to enter in the contact and can't see the threaded msgs) then the keyboard is fine all the time. Does anyone else have this same problem as well, or is it just me?
I would really prefer to be able to quickly reply to texts instead of creating new messages every time...gonna try disabling the htc messaging app (was going to anyway cause it takes waaaay too loooong lol) and see if that magically works
Thanks again!
I had a similar problem and fixed it
I logged on here to see if someone could tell me how to fix my issue, but it is regarding an HTC HD2, not a Blackberry. My problem was similar but not exactly the same. My phone somehow permanently got stuck on Xt9, which I hate and am worthless at using. I couldn't seem to find the answer anywhere online so i'm writing my experience here in case it helps anyone.
Hitting the XT9 / ABC button did NOTHING to fix it. Even though the button would visually change from XT9 to ABC and back, when I hit it (it would change to a green color), the keys themselves would not change at all, and i was stuck looking at keys that make zero sense to me qw... er...ty... ui.... it was like a bad nightmare. I have no idea how I managed to get it stuck on this (sorry I know most of you techies probably have no problem with it but I am just not very tech savvy).
I tried taking out my battery, popping the sim card in and out several times, restarting. Sounds stupid but I didn't know what else to do as I couldn't find any solutions online. Finally called tmobile.
First the rep told me to try going to Settings > Locale and Text > Text Input. She asked what my settings were on, I said ABC. She told me to turn it to XT9 instead, then close out the screen, go back, then switch back to ABC. I did that, and no dice. I figured either the settings are frozen or I'm cursed.
Then she had me go to the screen to write a text msg. When your cursor is in the text box to write in, you will see a little keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen. There's a little arrow next to it. Click on that arrow. That brought up the options of Full QWERTY and Compact QWERTY, and apparently somehow my phone got switched to Compact QWERTY. So I switched back, and that fixed it.
So yeah, apparently there are a couple of different ways to change it.
I wanted to hug this woman through the phone, i was so relieved to be able to text again (I could not write out one single word while on Compact QWERTY). I'm not sure if going this route can help anyone else but it was the answer for me. There may be other options for you when you click on the arrow next to the keyboard.
Good luck!

HD virtual keyboard stuck in compact

Strange problem: I've search google and here at xda, but find nothing even close.
Discovered the answer in the event others experience this strange situation: Download "sipchange" (google). It nailed this perfectly.
The keyboard defaulted to compact mode about a week after I received the phone. I hard reset (ROM version 1.14.405.3) and did not install any applications, anticipating perhaps a program conflict was my problem. After two days is did the same thing.
The only thing I've tried is changing input methos in the settings node. After I choose full QWERTY (or any other keyboard selection) and select OK, the settings default on compact.
Anyone know the registry setting to force the keyboard to full QWERTY? Maybe this is a known issue....
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Still no joy - I installed Touchpal 3.5, however the in input selection for Touchpal 3.5 will not take either.
Edit: Cleared ROM - flashed firmware. This defaults to full QWERTY. I then installed Touchpal 3.5, but my HD would not change to the touchpal keyboard after selecting options and rebooting.
Might this may be a hardware/keyboard mapping problem?
Yes, I have issues with this too.
I use two particular input methods: Block recognizer (I'm an ex-Palm user) and SBP Keyboard. I have to select which to use, using the input selection pop-up menu, which appears next to the keyboard icon under the keyboard.
Problem is I want to customise that menu as the default options (Touch input settings, Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY, full QWERTY and other input methods>) only leave room for one other option.
Any ideas ?
Many thanks.

Having problems selecting QWERTY keyboard.

Hi!
I received a Touch HD few days ago and from the first time I noticed that something doesn’t works properly.
Initially the keyboard by default was the QWERTY one. I changed it to probe the compact one. I did the change with no problems (obviously was not a difficult issue). Well not so obviously because the problem was when I tried to return to full QWERTY keyboard.
I selected the fullQWERTY in the configuration menu, I pushed the OK button but when I tried to write a new message the compact keyboard was still there. I tried to change to any other keyboard but the result was the same. I haven’t installed any keyboard so is not a software incompatibility issue.
I reset the phone, check for rom updates, etc but I cannot select QWERTY keyboard. I have search about this but the only information I found is a post in this forum with no answer.
Please, any information about a possible solution will be greatly appreciated. Just imagine a wonderful HD without its QWERTY keyboard…
Thank you very much.
I have the same issue. A full reset did fix it but then it randomly happened again. Obviously that's not ideal!
Any ideas anyone?
Might it be worth an email to htc?
You checked for ROM updates using? I'm sure there is some registry key but not really certain.
Regards,
Carty..
I have encounter the same issue. I have found out that if you go through setting and select keyboard to change..it will not work...
It seems that touchflo took over the registry.....
Now the correct way to change your keyboard is to
1. press your keypad up.
2. you should see this little arrow beside the your keypad icon
3. when you tap the arrow you will see this menu pop up to pick the keyboard layout.
This is the ONLY WAY to change the keypad
Hope this helps
