As of 20 minutes ago my virtual keyboard decides to stop working. The keyboard will load up but anytime I'm in the input field to text someone, write a email, or a web address the words that I hit popup but nothing shows up in the field. I figured I'd type google.com in the browser and hit enter to see if anything will come up but nope, nada.
Does anyone have any idea what the issue may be with my keyboard not working? Hard resetting is my last resort before I go into the store and have it swapped out for a brand new one.
I'd say a factory reset should fix the issue if a normal power cycle doesn't fix it however I'd be inclined to uninstall a few apps (especially anything text or sms related) before heading down that path

Did this once on my phone too and I found out that for some reason the default language selection for the keyboard had gone unselected. Try from localization settings to enable your language and see if that helps.

hi im having problem on my x1 whenever i try to use my keyboard now
even i didnt press the blue buttons i can type in numbers and i try many ways to get my keyboard to function poperly. does anyone has this problem?
and is there any solution?
help please anyone???
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP IM DYING TO FIND THE SOLUTION AS THIS IS VERY ANNOYING, I DO NOT WANT TO PERFORM HARD RESET ON IT EVEN AFTER I READ THE MENU IT SAYS NOTHING AOUT IT
Did the problem start after installing a particular application? Try uninstalling each application you've added from the most recent backwards, soft resetting inbetween each uninstallation in case something is causing a conflict.
As a last resort a hard reset* should sort the problem, assuming it's software related. Of course you'll need to reinstall any applications you've got on the phone, and back up any data you want to keep on the phone (I always forget to copy newly added numbers from the phone onto the sim before hard resets, unfortunately ).
*switch the phone off, then hold both silver buttons closest to the screen either side of the optical joystick and switch the phone on while holding the buttons. Keep them pressed until a white screen with blue writing appears. Now follow the onscreen instructions to reset your phone to it's factory default settings.
e: just noticed that you replied while I was writing this. no need to shout! It's an odd problem, and there's probably no one else who's had it, hence no replies. If the problem hasn't been solved after a soft reset, then more than likely a program that's been installed has either taken over a keyboard function, been configured incorrectly, or has overwritten a system file when installing. In which case, like I said, uninstall each program you've installed. If that doesn't work, I think you'll have to hard reset it.
e ii: does the "Fn" icon appear at the bottom of the screen, to the left of the middle, right next to the SIP icon?
I HAVE SOLVED IT BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT IS FIX
first i slide out my keyboard keep preesing the numbers on microsoft word then i go to dail pad and keep pressing the keyboard numbers then i close the keyboard and began to type with compact qwerty later i slide the keyboard out again and it works............... wtf?????????? is this some bug or what if anyone experience it please tell me. no idea what the hack is happen............ btw thanx anyone who helped me, at least now i dont need a hard reset. (i have been hard resetting my x1 more than 10 times within 3 weeks time................)

even the fn sign is not there it just straight away type out numbers, after a soft reset when slide out the keyboard instantly when i type it has numbers..... really weird....
That is very odd. I thought for a while that maybe the phone thinks it's in the dialpad, so I tried to see if the dialpad running in the background would cause the same thing in word, but mine seemed to be ok.

i think im the first xperia user to encounter this problem i just going mad keep pressing the button and think of related applications that relates both so dailer and microsoft word solve my problem. at first i encounter tthe keyboards button starts from opera mini when i try to type in my address and ended up with numbers
I have almost the same problem i have install TOUCH HD Keyboard and after that i couldn't make èòàù (italian) so after uninstalling that .cab all works well again but no more Virtual Keyboard
you probably have press the function key twice, such that it function-lock your keyboard, so all the keys that you hit will yield the numbers or whatever the function+key is supposed to yield.
just hit the function key again to unlock function lock.

At last no solution right?
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.
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
Hey guys, I love my HD2 but recently ive been having some terrible issues.
I text alot and it really irritates me that when i go to type a text it takes 30 seconds to allow me to do so, it will just be completely unresponsive for those 30 seconds.
Then also anytime i go to change the keys to " £ $ ? symbols and numbers it jumps the cursor back randomly so im still typing before i realise its typing in completely the wrong place.
Im also having the phone do random things without me letting it, it removed the lock screen by itself which i cannot get back and before that it was automatically changing the background and the weather service would randomly select strange citys?
Hi,
sounds like things have gone askew, maybe if all else fails you can do a hard reset (ensuring you back up any data you need first).

That's the SMS load delay bug that has been discussed a lot on these forums. It occurs whenever you have more than a few messages from a person, and the phone tries to load all the old sms messages from that person, but it does it extremely slow. HTC may or may not be aware of it, the hotfix on their site for SMS doesn't seem to fix it. At the moment, your options are to delete SMS history, or to disable HTC Messaging and using Microsofts default SMS (requires regsistry hacking).

Some people have reported that they got an overly responsive screen, I would suggest you try and replace your phone (or simply return it like I did because you can never trust a SMS message has been sent when you send it with HTC Messaging, another bug without solution). The wether
services choosing odd cities might be because of yet another bug that fails to correctly pinpoint your location for the weather app.

I have this fault, and I think it started after the text messaging hotfix, I am going to uninstall; that fix and see if it solves the problem. Have you installed that fix?
Nope, that didn't fix it - is anyone else experiencing this? When I click on the ""12#" (symbol) hey, the cursor jumps back to a point earlier in the test message. Usually it jumps to the last place that I pressed that button.
This only occurs in the HTC SMS Messaging.
I uninstalled the SMS hotfix and restarted the phone but it's still occuring.
Got the same problem here with the cursor jumping back using "12#". I have installed all latest official HTC updates, but none have solved this problem. Really annoying ;(
Anyone got a workaround or custom fix for this?

You can use myphone to back up and archieve your text messages regularly. This will then delete them off your phone but you can still access them on the web if you want to. Keeps the number of messages low and solves the delay problem.

Me too, i got the same problem!
The last thing i installed was the sim contact update.
But at the moment i dont know if i have the problem before that update..
to type immediately without the 30s delay, simply press send and then no then tap again and you should be able to immediately type.
I do also have the number/symbols bug and it annoys the hell out of me! would love anyone that could find a solution to this!
Hey guys, getting some strange issues with my address bar on my phone.
Its only started recently and I can't work out what I've changed or pinpoint when it happened. All I have done is rooted the phone and removed some of the bloat (all of which on the safe list)
When I go into a browser or have to enter text into a text box I press the text box to try to enter text. If the box already has text in it, it used to select all the text so I can type over it/copy it etc. Now it seems to select all the text, then puts my cursor where I pressed, as if I double clicked.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or know what has caused it/how to fix it.
The second issue I'm having with the opera mobile browser. When I start to type an address it auto completes - gives me options of the ending (.co.uk/.com/.net etc) But it automatically completes the address with the top result.
Is this just me or is it a common issue? Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks in advance
Was just having a quick play around ans it seems its something to do with swype keyboard...can't work out how to fix it, any ideas at all?
As far as i noticed this happens if you have to manually add something into your keyboards wordDB.. just tap anywhere and back to the line you were and it should not bug.
