Had this issue once before, I did a wipe to fix it.
Dont have the option to do it now because there are too many apps installed.
The phone lost power and shutdown, after charging it and powering up I cannot open the keyboard when replying to a message in messaging.
I can't open it with a long press of the menu key, and if I hold the end call key I only get the option to shut down and not silent mode or airplane mode.
How to resolve this?
Thanks
OK now I realised I cant bring up my keyboard at all.
If I select a text box and select input methods there is nothing listed there.
The end call button does not lock my screen.
I am using the HTC keyboard from the HTC_IME pack, and the nk02's ION rom.
Worked fine when I had haykuro's ION rom and the google standard keyboard,
please help!!
/EDIT: i meant to say this has happened before on haykuro's ion rom and the default keyboard, so clearly isnt a rom or keyboard issue.
I backed everything up with "Backup for Root" app and did a wipe.
Restored the app settings and boom the problem returns.
There some setting or some app that is breaking this.
Have you tried to play with settings - locale & text - touch input - Keyboard types
try change to phone keypad, is this one showing? if yes then maybe when you change back to qwerty it start showing again?
good luck man

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.

how can I go in "HD Tweaks" ?
hi, not sure where else to ask this but has anyone ever came across the following issue -
whenever im typing a text message the input is only ever a number, even though it shows text on the virtual buttons, this happens with every form of input with the exceptions of using the stylus and full keyboard
it seems to be locked on numbers, i thought it was the shift key but that only seems to make it go to caps but then you press a and the number 2 appears, its driving me nuts and i cant seem to find anyone else having this problem
anyone help please?
cheers
PS
also just noticed whenever you go into input method options the virtual keys change to numbers outright and you cant change it back to text (ie press abc to go back and nothing happens, the abc button is also greyed out)
thanks

Had a similar problem and using HD Tweak disable T9 Mode for keyboard.
Both HD Tweak & Advanced Config have other very useful tweaks which I recommend. Both attached for your information

hi, i have hd tweak, t9 was disabled, i enabled it, tried typing a message again, there was no input this time, the keys were showing but whenever i pressed them nothing happened, its as if text is completely disabled, i switched off t9 (in hd tweak) and tried it again, once again there were only numbers appearing
help!!
UPDATE
The only modes that DONT work are the phone keypad and compact qwerty, the other modes seem to work ok, unfortunately its the phone keypad i want to use!
As I've also suggested to you elsewhere, try uninstalling HD Tweak entirely - it seems to be the root of these sorts of problems.
I had the same issue. I unistalled HD Tweak and "hey presto!" had myself a working keypad. I suggest you try that same. Cheers.
everything was working fine, then I installed fingerboard2 & the xt9disable.cab. I didn't like the way fingerboard looked so I uninstalled it. but then the htc keyboard kept showing the word completion pop-up. I tried to uninstall the xt9disable.cab and it deleted the file, but the registry setting I'm guessing is still in play and it won't turn on (which is fine, I don't want xt9 capability). but I've turned on and off the word completion and it won't go away. is there a reg setting I can do to stop it? thanks!!!
brand new tmobile hd2 - rocks! (otherwise)
nevermind
got it fixed (did a hard reset... what the heck... it worked.)
On the keyboard there is a button XT9/ABC. It is defaulted to XT9. Press it and it goes onto ABC. This stops the annoying word completion pop-ups.
Extra tip: if you double click on the 'caps shift' button you go into Caps Lock mode. Pressing the 'caps shift' button again gets you back to normal mode again.
I must have done something wrong. I can not find the way to switch from the standard keyboard to the android keyboard anymore when making text messages. Could I have incidentally uninstalled something? If so, how to reinstall ??
Any suggestions?
Thank you !
Go into Messages... as if you are gonna type a a new message...
Where you normally type press your finger down and hold for few moments and it should bring up a menu to change keyboard types...
I got in on the Swype beta a week or so ago and love the product (although ShapeWriter has some strong points too).
Over the weekend I had to go back to the default keyboard because Swype doesn't seem to play well with my RDP application.
Now I can't turn Swype back on! I went to Settings -> Language & Keyboard and it shows Swype enabled.
The other strange thing is where the default keyboard used to show the little "Cog" button for options, it now shows a microphone. Don't know how else to get back to Swype. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that didn't help. I can't get either of my optional keyboards to work now???
you need to long press on an input box, and wait for the popup, then select input method, then swype.

Find and input box(where you can type stuff into), hold your finger down on it until the menu appears, at the bottom will be "Input Method", select that and you will see the options.
Duh - thank you guys!!!
too much 4th of July party for me ...
I thought Swype beta ended.
edit: nvm i think i figured it out, will install it on my replacement Evo when I get home.
No it's available for everybody now. The beta, that is.
