Keyboard keeps sticking on number selection - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Has anyone else had this. Using the touch diamond qwerty keyboard (not the tiny MS one) I go to enter information and the keyboard is stuck on the number and symbols page. No amount of pressing ABC will switch it back to the text entry mode.
I had had this error on two seperate Daimonds. One with world wide english and now one with the UK rom. It is driving me mad.

I've the same problem with both keyboards (the full one and the compact one). But until now, no solution

I have purchased the cootek keyboard based on someone elses suggestion. It is hugely better. They have a qwerty one as well as some other faster input ones all part of the package and it was only $12 with free trial.

I have this problem too. To get the keyboard back I have to select the compact qwerty keyboard and then the full qwerty again. But that only works until I have to open the input panel again. It's very frustrating and has only just happened. The last think I did was install the Live Mesh application but I don't see how that could have effected the keyboard like this. Is there a place in the registry where I can set the default settings for the keyboard?

Have you got PCM keyboard installed. Mine only did it when that was installed and as soon as I uninstalled it fixed the other KB's. I have had the same problem on two different phones but only when PCM is installed.

I haven't installed any other keyboards, this just seems to have happened all of a sudden. However I thought I would search for forums again using different keywords and I found this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412234&highlight=keyboard+stuck
It suggested a registry location where keyboard settings are located, I set them to the values suggested in the thread and so far my keyboard has worked normally. I hoping that it's going to stay that way.

oh right thats weird because it is the same problem I had but it was because of this third party KB. I wonder if there is anything else you have installed that could have affected it. I would try uninstalling a few 3rd party apps and seeing if that fixes it.

If it happens again I'll give that a try, as it is I have my phone just the way I like it.
Thinking back I did make some keyboard changes, it was ages ago so it slipped my mind. I used a registry hack to turn off defaulting to T9 on the keyboard.

Looking back it makes use of the same registry settings. This could have been the cause, but I made the changes ages ago and the current problem only happened recently. Still, it's fixed now and I'm happy.

Life saver!

You are a fricking life saver (as is studz who originally gave the solution). I thought I was going to have to reflash my ROM. It happened to me after installing the TouchPal SIP. I decided I didn't care of it, so I went back to compact qwerty and suddenly it didn't work! The part that was messed up on mine was HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\
"Layout Text" and "Ime File."

Suddenly can't change input methode anymore

I can't choose my input method anymore. I selected the normal keyboard, and when I click te small arrow to select another method the keyboard just dissapears.
The only way to change it now is to use the program SipChange I found on this board but I would like to know how I can enable the "quick" switching again.
I looked into HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip\AllowChange and the value is "1"
I really don't want to hard-reset because I just spend a whole afternoon configuring my Diamond and installing apps
Good news is that it is definitely a registry issue. I had the same (arrow should activate HTC custom thumb sized menu of SIPs, but does nothing) and a simple registry restore (spb Backup) fixed it. So, no idea what registry key the issue was (also checked AllowChange first) but it's there somewhere...
Not sure what caused it tho; installed TouchPal several tiems, but when I reinstalled after fix it was all good so can't blame TouchPal just yet...
Yeah I don't have a registry backup
For now I'm using sip changer but it's not very easy so I hope I can get it fixed without hard-reset
Anyone? It's starting to get very annoying working like this
This just happend to me too One minute it worked, then it dident.
Anyone have a fix yet?

Don't believe I've changed much on my phone since it was last working correctly.

Input settings problem

Hi Guys
Sorry if this has been posted, I did do a search and couldn't find a solution.
Whenever I change the input type in the input settings, it immediately defaults back to compact qwerty when I go back in to look.
Is this a known problem?
Thanks in advance
Nobody have any ideas?
After flashing the new ROM i've the same problem.
Every time i switch the keyboard layout, it automatically returns to compact QWERTY.
Can the layout be set in the registry?
I haven't found any solution yet.
fixing the default imput method
I also had this problem and it was driving me mad! However, searching the forum I came across a recommendation to use a little program called SIPchange. I installed this (it's free!) and it allows you to set any imput method as the default. So far it seems to work.
The only problem I now have is that the Letter Recogniser doesn't show me any suggested words as I enter text, despite this option being switched on in the settings. Any ideas anyone?

Switching to Landscape exits programs?

I seem to be having an issue now and then when I start typing in landscape mode, the phone switches back out to the landscape home screen. I have to switch back to the app while in landscape mode in order for me to continue.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
Thanks!
thank God i've found someone who has similar problem like me! hopefully someone can guide us how to solve this problem.. many thanks!
I get the same problem, it does it in all different programs.
yeah, but it's odd because it only happens after some time of usage. Once I restart the phone, it seems to be ok again.
Well I must say that's why I've quit using RomeOS' ROM's, I had the same issue but not on the PROVEN ROM so I'll continue to use that one...
I have this problem, too. I'm using the stock att rom. Instead of rebooting to fix, you can just disable and re-enable tf3d.
It's also worth noting that a guy I work with just got a new fuze, and he has this problem as well. He hasn't installed anything on the phone yet, so that proves it's a problem with tf3d.
How i fixed mine...
This happend to my when I tried to install a different
HTCvolumeControl.dll
Maybe your rom has a bad HTCvolumeControl.dll
Try deleting HTCvolumeControl.dll and the rom will re-create after a restart.
If that doesn't work... maybe the rom has a bad HTCvolumeControl.dll
i have the same problem.. and i havent installed anything on my phone yet!
i have the same problem too,(i am running the stock att rom) mine switches back to portrait them back to landscape and back again a couple of time before stopping, i tried restarting a it works fine for a couple of minutes then it happens again, any help will be much appreciated
it has something to do with the customer taskbar icons, i only fixed it after removing sdkcerts, and the custom icons i had.

Thanks for sharing.. Would you mind to explain more detail?.. where is the "sdkcerts" ?
yeah, share information with us =)
I can't believe more people aren't talking about this problem. I deleted HTCvolumeControl.dll with no luck. I also uninstalled sdkcerts and even my custom icons. The problem still comes back. A second guy I work with got a fuze, and his has this problem straight out of the box. So that's 3 that I personally know of.
To clarify, the programs don't actually close, they just lose focus when the keyboard is opened, and then go into the background as the landscape menu comes to the front. Today, I noticed that opera goes to the background when I rotate my phone... the screen turns to landscape, then the task bar shows up, then it kicks back to tf3d.
Another way to test if the problem is happening is to goto the messaging tab, click to create a new message, then just open the keyboard. Sometimes I start typing, and then the phone comes up accepting the keys I'm typing. Then the landscape menu comes up on top of that.
I also changed my registry to disable landscape mode in tf3d. I thought that solved the problem (I didn't miss having the stupid landscape menu), but it still happened, only when I opened the keyboard, the phone came up. If I didn't hit any keys, it would disappear and whatever program I was in would come back. That was only slightly less annoying than before.
The past 2 days, I've been constantly testing to see if the problem was happening (restarting tf3d makes it stop for a while), and it didn't happen for 2 straight days. It started again today, and I hadn't touched my phone since I had last tested for the problem. In between that time, I received 2 emails. I didn't test before I opened the emails, but one had a link that I clicked on, and then the problem happened in Opera when I rotated the phone. So something happened when I either received the email, opened the email, or clicked the link to goto Opera.
I'm sure if we can pinpoint exactly what is causing this problem to start happening after a restart, we can fix it... or figure out some sort of workaround. So to anyone that has this problem, please post as many details as you can about what apps you were running or anything that could help determine the root cause of the problem. Only then can a fix be developed. I'm already digging all over the registry trying to find something to change that would fix this, but it's hard to fix something when you don't know what's causing the problem.
Is this only a fuze problem or are other TPs are experiencing this??
just to confirm im having the same problem on the normal version of the Touch pro (stock ROM)
a little pointer too: When you want to send an sms do the following. Start new sms, open the keyboard. Then WAIT a second (dont start typing immediately). Then start typing.
For some reason this does not seem to exit my messaging. If i start typing immediately it sometimes closes

i have a very similar problem that's been driving me crazy!!! on my TP everytime i slide out the keyboard when i have an app open in which i choose to type via the keyboard, my dialer pops up!!! The exact same thing happens as soon as i slide it back away. Very frustrating is the "g" rated way of describing this issue. FYI - even had this problem before any installations on a brand new device fresh out of the box.
yes.. i'm having that dialer problem too.. everytime i open my keyboard even in SMS mode or Opera, my dialer will pop-up.. very annoying...
i've also tried disable TF3D and use normal Today screen, the dialer problem and programs exit problem when opening the keyboard are still happen !!! wtf is wrong with the landscape mode??!! i've tried searching anything can be edited in registry but i'm too afraid i'm going to break my TP or cause me to hard reset
to all experties, pls help us...
p/s: i'm using stock ROM, for all custom made ROM users, do these problems happen to u? ...

Text entry problem

Thought I move the thread to here to see if I will get more help:
Have had the phone for a few weeks and learning lots. All of sudden yesterday when trying to make a calendar entry, the full QWERTY, compact QWERTY, and phone pad can no longer be used to enter text. It's stuck on numeric mode. Tapping the "abc" key on the bottom of the full QWERTY keyboard doesn't change anything. Can still use transcriber and full keyboard for now. BUt when switched to Note program, all entry methods work. Have not installed any new programs lately (besides a few games and new calculator). Have been using S2U2 and Diamond tweaks to help with a few other problems...Help please since this is now my primary calendar and runs my life so need to have this working again!!
I"m using the GSM version with the latest ROM version. The problem also seems to be "periodic" in the sense that everytime I change mode of text entry to something else and back to QWERTY, it lets me enter text, but the moment I change it to numerics, I can't go back unless I change mode of entry again.....Argh.....
I suffer from a similar problem sometimes. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't open at all. I can't type anything. Perhaps it's because of TouchPal, dunno. Gotta reboot the device then ...
Sorry for abusing your thread, but it's a similar problem.7
Have you performed a soft-reset? Did it change anything or have you been suffering from the same problem ... ? Actually a stupid question
Done a soft reset once, and didn't change anything. Like I said it has a mind of its own...when I change the mode of text entry to full keyboard, everything works perfectly so I've been defaulting to that...then when I change from full keyboard to QWERTY, it would bring back the alphabet screen..but the moment I tap the 123 button to change to numeric pad to enter something, I CANNOT go back....I'm unwilling to hard reset for a problem that I have a "work around" on .....hence the post to see if others have similar problem, and HOW THE HECK did it happen???
ya i'm also facing the same problem, but now my COMPACT QWERTY keyboard stopped working completely, it was only taking no's, please suggest solution for this
Thanks in advance
same problem here. a complete reset to factory defaults was the only solution to that problem.
full querty worked normally, but without T9.
compact and phone pad numbers only, equal if i selected ABC or 123. Symbols worked normally

Stuck with the SW-keyboard

Somehow I managed to change the keyboard look, but I don't have a clue how to get back to the letters. So if someone could give me a hint, I appreciate it.
hey, looks like its EZ input from HTC, just uninstall it, or very simple ckick in the middle bottom softkey and choose a different input method from dropdown menu, or install a different virtual keyboard, i recommend FingerKeyboard...
oh, just remembered, you can also change input setting from /settings/personal/input..
I already tried that, there are only two keyboards availably, but opn the other one also no possibility to change it. It seems I need to install a different one. Will try FingerKeyboard and report.
No that wasn't the solution. I re-installed WM 6.5 once again (had to although), but now the same. It changes, when I use the calendar in e.g. my contacts to create a birthday reminder. The display at the bottom in the middle is also not the usual one.
may be
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ezsip\CurrentSIP\
"D00" --> "A00"
That didn't worked also. I figured out that it happens when I switch to an option with time-settiings like in the calender. And then I can't switch back.
That is really a pity since I found a really good 6.5-ROM fitting to my.
Also changing the keyboard to another installesd one like "FingerKeyboard" doesn't work, there also is the Num-pad listed.
So any other suggestions? Beside "Change the ROM"
