MyTouch4g Swype keyboard stop working - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Found the fix.
Menu, settings, manage apps, all, swype, clear data.
Update: ERROR MESSAGE "Swype EnglishUS failed" it wont load. I can swype in spanish but not english.
The swype keyboard use to work perfectly, now not at all. The keyboard seems not to display the swype button and i cant press any keys. when i try to press a key i get a blue box that appears around the entire keypad. Have anyone had this problem or know how to fix it

I have this issue, just switch to the android keyboard and then switch back

I've tried switching key boards and restarting my phone and neither helps.

Help! Keyboard not showing

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

Can't change keyboards?

My girlfriend has an Aria, and recently tried to install a new keyboard. We went into the keyboard settings and checked the new keyboard, but whenever the new keyboard comes up, it's the stock HTC one. Has anyone else experienced this?
You have to long press in a text box then choose input method you can then choose the new keyboard there

yes, although you enabled the new keyboard, you didn't choose it as your default keyboard.
open something where you can type (text message, note, browser address bar, whatever). press in the text area and hold your finger there until a box pops up. this box should have your keyboard options, select whichever you would like to use.
I am still trying to figure out how to get a keyboard with voice options so i can talk into it

The stock Aria keyboard has a microphone icon on the bottom left. Press it and it will enable voice recognition.
Note: only works whilst connected to the internet.
If you can get your hands on a copy of the newest swype that
has the option for audio input as well. Not sure if the beta is still open or not.

A couple of things you need to do. First, go under Settings then Keyboard and check Slide IT keyboard to activate. After activation, then you need to open an app with a dialog box and long press the dialog box. Then a pop up box will open and you can choose Slide IT keyboard. Another way is it open the Slide IT keyboard application and it will walk you through activation and it has its own dialog box you long press on to activate the keyboard.
it's worked. Thanks added.

Stock keyboard activation

I know I have seen this discussed but my searches didn't find them so I am asking now.
I was trying to complete a form in a website this morning but I couldn't get the standard keyboard to pop up. Has anyone found a way to do this? By the way, I am trying to use the stock browser as well.
Thanks.

So I take it when you click/touch on a form field, the cursor appears but the keyboard does not?
Try going to Settings >> Language & Input >> Under "keyboard Settings", chose "Current input method" >> Then select "English (US) Keyboard."
Give that a try and see if that works.
please delete. posted wrong place.
Thanks for the tip. That is my default. I was hoping there would be a manual method for bringing the keyboard up.

Are you looking for some kind of keystroke/tap that brings up the keyboard whenever? The only thing I know of that brings up the keyboard is clicking on a text entry box or something else that will take text. Some applications(like a remote desktop client) have a menu option to bring up the keyboard, but as far as I know there isn't really a way to just "summon" the keyboard when it isn't needed.
Have you used a bluetooth keyboard lately? I notice that, unless you have the settings right, even when the bt keyboard is off, sometimes no onscreen keyboard comes up.
No. I've not used a Bluetooth keyboard. I am trying not to need one.
Yes. I was hoping I could have a keystroke to bring it up. The application I was trying to enter text in is a Yahoo crossword puzzle. I do those when I am bored and just tried it Friday. The puzzle comes up nicely but one cannot enter text into the grid.
Thanks

[Q] z and SwiftKey x

I had the desire for over a year now and it has gone back to get repaired twice. Hardware issues.
I use SwiftKey x and am happy with it. As last week, when I use the dedicated qwerty keyboard in a text message, and I hit the s button it saves the message and the g button it goes directly to gmail.
I think it is just a setting issue but can't seem to be able to turn it these short-cuts off.
Regards,
Tap
Had the same issue, its a Swiftkey issue, i switched to Better Keyboard and problems were gone, or restore with a rom =)
if i help'd hit that Thanks Button
Might wanna try Smartkeyboard pro...
