HTC 12-key keypad not showing

I installed the HTC keyboard_keypad into my HERMES flashed with the black satin ROM. It's great and I love it. Problem is, after I installed the LetsJapan6 by Asukal to read japanese, the 12-key htc touch keypad no longer shows up. It only shows the 20-key keyboard even though I selected the HTC keypad.
I think it's just a registry problem, but I'm not sure. Tried searching the forums but couldn't find any. Any ideas how to fix the problem. I want to use the 12 keypad more because it has larger buttons than the 20 keypad. The HERMES is quite limited in space for the 20-key keyboard.
If no one knows how to fix this, is their a way to get the list of registry keys changed during the installation of letsjapan06? Hope asukal could help me on this

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!

How to disable T9?

How to disable T9?
There's no Croatian T9 dictionary so it is really annoying to have T9 turned on.
Or maybe if there is Croatian dictionary somebody could post it or link to it?
I searched thru general forums but anything I found there doesn't work.
Thank you very much.

well on my keyboard is on the top right a shifting-button named "ABC/T9"
Just switch it to the ABC and T9 is disabled.
Or do you mean in general?

I mean general.
When my keyboard pops up T9 is usulally on. And I usually forget that and start writing. Then I have to delete what I wrote and turn off T9 with that bottun.
And every time keyboard pops out T9 is on again (except when writing contacts and maybe some other times).
It is pretty annoying.
So, I would like to disable T9 complitely. (or to get Croatian dictionary)

At \\registry\HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\
Set parametre XT9SupportMSSip to 0.

Just did this, soft reseted and started writing new SMS.
And T9 was on
Any other ideas?

Try Shcaps Advanced Config (the black banner will still stay for listing sms recipients suggesting only one recipient - unconvenient)
or
download and install the cab from post #6 in the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357744

I installed this cab and I could only write numbers. there were no letters at all.
Then I installed Schaps Advanced Config but I couldnt find where to turn T9 off
But then I installed cab from post 11 from upper post. And it seems T9 is no more default input metod. I can turn it on but it isn't on by default.
I have to test it more but it seems it works.
P.S. I use default touch keyboard and I did all testings with it.
Thank you all for help

SMS Problem

Hi,
Has anyone else had this problem. 8 times out of 10 when I goto send an SMS and the input is set to Phone Keypad it defaults to entering numbers. It's as if a numlock is on and I cant get it to switch off. The only way I can get text is to switch the input to qwertry.
I had this with the original 1.43 and now again with the 1.48 ROM. I have all the HTC updates applies including the SMS fix.
Can anyone shed any light.
John

Does anyone have any ideas. Surely I'm not the only one with this problem.
Please can anyone help.
John

Of all the SMS problems i have had i haven't seen this one. This may sound silly but are you sure your not clicking the number button 8 times out of 10?

did you install any other keyboard or input method?this is usually the problem.

Hi,
No I'm not hitting the number button by mistake. When I get a text or I goto send one and the input method is set to Phone Keypad it enters numbers in all modes. ie, 12# and ABC every button from 1 - 0 will give a number. It's like a numlock is on.
If I set input to compact qwerty it does the same at times but not as bad. If I set it to full qwerty it works fine.
No other software installed. Stock HTC 1.48 ROM.
John

Have you thought about giving another keyboard a go like FingerKeyboard and Swype (http://www.swypeinc.com/myswype.html) or SlideIt? Not sure what the status is on Swype re finding a copy but SlideIt is very similar.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers
WB

YES i have the same problem with my HD2 =) and the second problem is that my phone sometimes stops sending the messages(then i must soft reset)
HD2 is FULL of BUGS... well HTC SENSE is full of bugs...
even after all updates htc have given us =) JIPPIIII
HTC's personal beta tester is ME

1.61 and exactly the same problem.
I tend to use Swype now but this problems been around BEFORE I installed Swype so I know Swype isn't the cause.

Turn off XT9 permanently and stop it from interfering with Swype?

I've installed Swype and really like it. I'm using SIPchange to enable it as a default. Unfortunately, XT9 will interfere with the words selected by Swype even after you've picked the right word. The only way to disable this is to manually change to Touch Input keyboard and disable XT9 on the keyboard before changing back to Swype.
I've already disabled both Spell Correction and Word Completion in Touch Input under Settings> Personal> Input> Touch Input> Options, but XT9 still turns on the next time I restart the phone.

Hi, I'm using swype too and haven't noticed any interference from XT9, but I might not have known what I'm looking for.
What are your symptoms?

I have had that happen to me before on certain Roms... cant tell you which one... usually, it works fine (I am using Topix Rom now)
When it did happen, I turned off XT9 under the settings but I ALSO opened the default keyboard and turned it off there but pressing the key.... moved back to swype after that and the xt9 word options were gone... just the usual swype dictionary/options at times.... Soft reset didn't change anything... it was all ok still
Hope this helps

Unfortunately for me, once I shutdown/soft reset the phone, XT9 is automatically activated on the Touch Input keyboard again even though everything has already been turned off in the Settings>Personal>Input. Also, it seems that the Touch Input keyboard automatically defaults to one of the Chinese input methods instead of English. Maybe that's where the problem lies. Where can I default the Touch Input keyboard to English?
BTW, I have my Locale set as Australia, so that isn't the problem.
The symptoms are: Once you've "Swyped" the word and pick the one you want, XT9 then shows up with it's word choices and either shows the same word or if I have it initial caps, make it all small letters
I also noticed that in Settings>Personal>Input, when I select Swype then click the "OK" button, it doesn't save the selection, and goes back to "Touch Input" when I open the "Input" dialogue again. I guess this probably means that some of my registry entries are toast...

That is indeed weird... do you have something like SIP change installed? I use that to start Swype by default during startup after a restart.. Don't know if that might help...

Yes, I do have SIPchange installed, but it's already set to Swype as the default.

I had the same problem and this is my partial solution.
Go to HKLM/Softwares/Tegic/eT9/IsSupportMSSIPContact
Change the Dword from 1 to 0.
this will get rid of XT9 for Swype but only if it is NOT the default. Therefore, there is the nagging inconvenience of having to change it to Swype every time your soft reset. But it is better than that nothing.

Thanks for the partial solution. It's at least better than what I'm doing now after every reboot, which is to:
1. change Swype to Touch Input
2. change Touch Input to EN so that the keyboard shows up
3. click on the XT9/ABC button
4. change Touch Input back to Swype..
One thing to note, I just went to the registry and there isn't the value you listed. However, there is the following string value:
HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\LRU_MS_InputMethod and the value is Swype.
I'm wondering if this is what is causing XT9 to activate when Swype is active.. Do you have this value in your registry? what value is it?
Quick edit to note that I added a DWORD IsSupportMSSIPContact with value "0" and soft reset... Sorry to say that it didn't disable XT9 even if Touch Input was defaulted. Guess my problem is slightly different than yours.

Yes, all those values are the same. Need ot check if you also disable xt9 using some .cab. If not then you will need to do the following:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409\Ime File
Change it to read as compime.dll
and
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409\Layout Text
Change to COMP IME
This will disable eT9. Please remember the original values should you want to revert back.
I think that should work.
have fun.

weenween, the two registry values you gave are already what is on my phone..
But XT9 still enables itself when I restart the phone. I've now resigned myself to disabling XT9 on the Touch Input keyboard manually each time I restart the phone.
In any case, thanks for your help.

I have exactly the same problem adn symptoms as GregWee. Must be becasue we both have Hong Kong HD2s where the default english keyboard is PinYin?

I have a similar issue. I have a TMOUS HD2 with QQ 2010 mobile loaded on it for chinese text entry. The QQ keypad has become the default everytime I reboot - entirely unwanted. Somehow it interferes with the contact dropdown list in messaging and email. It has something to do with the T9 staying on when entering a contact name. I installed sipchange but it does not overide the QQ default after a soft reset.
After changing between keyboards a few time it begins to work properly in email and then finally in messages. Right now, since the last soft reboot and playing around, when I am in either email or messages the stock keyboard will automatically switch from T9 to abc when I move the cursor to enter a contact name. The contacts appear as I type as they should. Swype works fine too. I have no idea what I did to get it to work but I have had the same experience several times today. Hopefully I will figure it out.
I would like to know a way to override the QQ as the default keyboard. I think this might fix the problem.
Any suggestions?
