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...

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.

Legend! Thanks that fixed it
Fixed my problem too.
I also had the issue that the keyboard was only inputting numbers - disabled T9 in HD Tweaks - reset then all ok.

Andrew
how can I go in "HD Tweaks" ?
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
i dont know what happened, but it seems that after i installed some apps my keyboard is now equipped with japanese text as an option...and its quite annoying because when i switch back and forth between letters and #s instead of just english letters and #s, theres english letters, jap, and then #s.
anyone know how i can turn this off?
i tried the keyboard setting but there's no "turn off" option.
there's a turn off under "choose key type" in the japanese keyboard settings but that doesn't do squat.
any inputs will be appreciated.
ok this might seem strange but what you need to do first is go to locale and text and change your locale to something random it doesn't matter. when you do that it changes the keyboard to that language and automatically goes back to the standard keyboard (you can check to see yourself) now switch the locale to your original country and it should be back to the standard keyboard. I'm not sure if you use the standard keyboard or android keyboard but if it is the latter and you don't know how to switch, just long press the text bar which is the lowest left key and select input method. For some odd reason you can't simply long press the text bar to switch back from Japanese which is a WEIRD ass glitch
i actualy didnt know about the android keyboard until now
whats the difference?
edit: nvm got it. thanks! i think i like the android keyboard better.

Quickest way to change keyboard is to touch and hold on a text area
till the pop-up appears, then click on Input Method then select either the android or the Standard keyboard. The differences ain't so much... the best way to find out which you prefer is to try them. If you want to revert back just repeat the above stages.
Personally I use the Japanese keyboard.. but that's because I'm using it to write in Japanese.
Good luck.

works fine on mine... I just check it
(text area is the white box where text would normally appear, if you would type something)
BTW, if you switch the keyboard to Japanese, denoted by the "あ" symbol the caps-lock will now show a hammer & spanner. Clicking on it will also bring up the input menu. Alternatively you can go about the long way around and go directly into settings either by the menu key at the home screen; or via the applications tray. Think that's all the methods...

what he said. the japanese keyboard is AWESOME.
what sucks is that the japanese keyboard is included with any locale settings right ? but i type in japanese AND chinese so if i have to type a sms in chinese, i have to go to locale and switch to china. SUCKS !
I left my phone unlocked and it set the keyboard to korean while inside my pocket. I can't switch to any other keyboard: swype, android, standard, etc. Holding the gear icon on the lower left just displays the korean keyboard settings but shows no place to change the keyboard.
Try starting phone in safe mode and uninstall it ...or uninstall whichever keyboard you have got it stuck in korean
go into settings, locale and text and select a keyboard from there....

going into locale & text just takes you into the settings for each keyboard, or enable/disable keyboards from being selected. the keyboard selection should be when you hold the option button on the keyboard. when you do this while the korean keyboard is loaded, it takes you to the korean kb settings, instead of a popup that lets you select other keyboards like android, swype, etc.
i appreciate the replies. i've tried everything and it seems that once you switch to the korean keyboard, there's no going back... unless i'm missing something

Just long press in the writing area when you're typing something and then the selection menu pops up!! Then you can switch your keyboard. Hope it helps
Hi there, when I first got my phone during setup and being a total novice with touch screens I managed to set the phone up to an Indian/Asian language. I fiddled around for ages and couldn't do anything.
My solution... take out battery and sim, try another sim so the phone has to register that one and gives you the language in its attempt to set it up. Get the little bugger back to English and stick your other sim back in. It worked for me so I hope maybe it helps for you too.
Edit
If that doesn't work how about find the settings picture (assume they are the same) then Locale and Text is 11th tab down and select locale is the first tab on the next screen. Just had a google translate on English into Korean so you can try and pick up the right language....'yeong-eo' is the translation or '영어'

Yes, but you changed the whole language. He just has to chage the keyboard, his language is correct.
To change keyboards try my solution above. It worked for me when i was getting mad with chinese Keboard to get back to standard.
I thought he had tried changing the input method and keyboard but that hadn't worked. Thought it might need forcing back to English or something. My apologies if I misunderstood.
As another thought how about downloadiing Jonasl's HTC_IME keyboard from this site and seeing if you can get that to force its way into action over the korean one when you run the app from your file manager?
Thanks for the replies. holding on the input area did the trick. I was used to holding the option button on the standard button but this eems to be an alternate method. I'm a total idiot lol. Normally this would've been something i'd figure out on my own. Thanks guys. guess i still need to get used to the OS.

Don't mention it! It happened to me too and someone told me how to fix it. Now I tell it to you. It's just a chain. It's your turn to tell the trick to someone else who needs it, LOL

Hello,
Is there a way to enable smileys on the default CM7 keyboard (instead of the enter key). For example in the Gtalk app there is a smiley option, but I would like to have it by default everywhere (facebook, messages etc.) - any way to do this?
Cheers...
Wasn't it always like that? Have you enabled another keyboard? I had searched high and low for a keyboard which removed the smiley key and brought back the Enter Key for the Messaging App, and only about 2-3 weeks back I found it.
Well, since I've flashed CM7 I haven't installed any other keyboard. I also haven't fiddled with any keyboard settings. So I'm quite puzzled that I have the smiley button only in Gtalk and messages (sorry I was wrong in my first post, there IS a smiley button in messages). However, I would like to have it also in Gmail and pretty much any other app - for example Facebook or its alternative Friendcaster.
Any idea how to enable it?
Not without any 3rd party app (Also, I have no idea which 3rd party keyboard does this). The default Gingerbread keyboard is context sensitive, i.e. - for a fixed set of apps, it will show the smiley key, and, for another fixed set of apps, it will show the enter key.
Editing should be possible if you don't wish to go for the Enter key, but, are all your GMail E-Mails only 1 line messages? (Because, till date, all I have seen, you can either get the Smiley key OR the enter key, not both) I find it difficult to live without it in the messaging app itself, leave along Gmail and browser.
Anyway, to state again, editing the keyboard should be possible, but it needs technical know-how, and I can't help you on that.
Well you have a point there, that writing a mail without enter would be quite a problem ;-) Anyway, I guess I'll have to stick with writing smileys the long way (using "." long press) ;-)
Thanks for clarifying the issue.
Cheers...

One way to go around that is by making the smiley (or smiley menu) appear afther a long press on the enter button. There is a keyboard on the market ("keyboard from android 2.3") which does that, in the gui of (as the name says) the android 2.3 keyboard.

Thanks for that. It's indeed the perfect solution, but I thought it was unaccomplished till date
