Hi,
i was just wondering if anyone is having issues selecting other keyboards on streak-droid 1.8 i can select the keyboard in setting but as soon as i leave the setting it unchecks itself so i cant select it as an input.
i tried searching for this issue but had no luck so if a thread exists please point me in the right direction
thanks you
when in a box or area where you can type, do a long press, and this should bring up a menu which includes input method. Click that, then a list of whatever different keyboards you have installed should come up. Click your preferred method.
thanks
Hey thank you for responding but the issue i have is when i select the keyboards i download and leave that setting area and go back in the are unchecked again the only two that com up when i do long press is swipe and android keyboard . before i went to droid streak i would just check it in language and keyboard then do the long press like you said and it would show up.
guess ima try a factory restore and see what happens
thanks
Also having this problem. Just us?
Had this problem too. A factory reset from Dell's four option menu fixed it.
Or you can remove the swype app with titanium back up ...i ran into this proble. Today ...i fixed it by removing swype from system apps ...

Hi dual-owners,
Anyone has a problem where when typing using the keypad (slideout keypad) you cant use the navigate button (left/right) to select the predictive word options.
U will need to touch the word option instead.
I think there was only one time where I could successfully use the navigation to select the words when typing?
Is this a common problem??
Thanks

Not me. I always navigate right and left with the button... Have you tried a soft-reset?
still a problem
Yes Sir,
I tried many soft resets - seemed weird at 1st but thought thats the best they (HTC)could do with a slide out keypad.
The navigation button to select word option works when ur not using the keypad (slid back in) but once u start to use it - the navigation button just wont work for me. have to reach up and select a tiny word option (which most of the time i miss) ..
This is my 1st PPC (sold my slow n95) and i love it except for this little annoyance + no wifi
So fellow PPC owners- if anyone has a solution i'll be grateful.
cheers
try hard resetting your device, (note not a soft reset.)
as it works fine on my orange branded touch dual.
it could be related to the operator rom that is on it, but i wouldn;t expect so.
Hi there,
I also have the same problem.
I also tried many soft reset but is the same.
I found PQz II Keyboard has an issue with this problem.
After uninstalling it, actually I had a hard reset and then install software one by one, the problem has gone.
Hope this help.
Yup thanks! all!
Did a hard reset and everything is back to normal (all workin fine now)- oh yeah the blank notification thingy is also gone -
Be AWARE: prior to hard reset make sure ur files in the storage arent encrypted and at least back em up somewhere. Cause my files (pics and music etc) became unreadable after the hard reset . (this is due to the encryption key that was auto-set by the phoneware on my "phone-state" prior to hard reset.)
Cheers
Okay. The gingerbread keyboard is just garbage. I cant figure out how to get the htc_ime keyboard on my phone. Ive downloaded the lowres and clicker apks. Change keyboard inputs and it just force closes. Ive tried installing different ways with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
Im currently running on my gsb 1.7 gingerbread rom on my never dead eris
Go to gimpsta.com and choose the froyo build and you can either make you own or use a premade one used it before on v1.6 and it worked great.

I couldn't get the gimpsta keyboard to work on GB either until I started using GO SMS. For some reason it works with that messaging app.....for me anyway.
the gb keyboard is very slow ive been looking for a different one also
i couldn't get it to flash

It's not a flashable zip. Just a regular old zip file. Unzip and click apk to install.
To select, checkmark in settings; lanuage+keyboard then open keyboard. GB will stll come up. Long press setting key, choose select input, and choose HTC IME.

You do NOT want the "hi" version.

get swype!!
Can't get it to work either
I had this working on xtrSENSE before, but now it won't work since I reflashed it. Normally, I hold MENU until it prompts me to choose a keyboard. This time, it always defaults to the stock keyboard. On 2.1, you cannot choose the keyboard through Settings > Language & keyboard.
This thing has a hard time rebooting too, so I don't want to turn it off. If I have to reboot or factory reset then I will, but it's a pain in the neck.

hold your finger down on a area where you can input text, and choose input method then select htc_ime mod
Hi recently installed StreakDroid 1.8.1. There doesnt seem to be an option in the method to change between Swype and android keyboard. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thx.
If you are asking how to change between keyboards then do the following.
In the typing box, touch and hold until you get the option to change the input method.
If you are saying that when you do that, android does't show up, go into settings, language keyboard, and make sure android keyboard is selected.
If it is selected, and you are not getting the option, then you have a bad 1.8.1 image. Maybe you used perfmod option in the install.txt.
I would recommend going back to stock froyo 2.2 and then back to 1.8.1

You can fix by installing titanium backup.
Install your favorite keyboard first
Then go into titanium and freeze the android keyboard. Reboot then choose whatever your fav is

Unlesss you never want to use a particular keyboard you don't need to do this.
This shows how it should work. If you have the keyboard you want selected in settings, then you should be able to pick it after long pressings in a text field and choosing input method.
After you install any keyboard you have to go to Settings->Language & keyboard settings and check the box next to the new keyboard to make it available to use. It will not show up in the list of input methods unless you do this.
I've tried installing different roms and kernels to try and fix this issue, but the "w" on the portrait keyboard doesn't work - instead it presses "q" and "e".
Is there a way on fixing the keyboard?
You need to go into the keyboard options and recalibrate that *****.

Sorry i'm a real noob, but how do you do that?
I cannot find a calibrate option for the life of me :l
when you get into your keyboard hit the little tire looking icon next to the mic.. And try the reset button in the options ^^

Which keyboard are you using?
I press the little cog and it takes me into "saumsung keypad settings" which has keyboard types, input language, xt9, keypad sweeping, character preview, auto-cap, handwriting settings, voice input, auto full stop and tutorial - but no reset?
Just the stock samsung keypad?
Ah yea the samsung one doesn't have a recalibrate option. I'm using the HTC keyboard, which has that option. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16368109#post16368109
When you're installed go to: settings>language and keyboard>HTC ime mod settings>text input...scroll to the bottom to calibration tool..
Hope it works!
Weird how you automatically thought he was using HTC_IME.
I installed that HTC keyboard - the W key on the keyboard still doesn't work - I think it may be to do with that location on the screen?
Paired with this, I can't add contacts to my phone :l I'm using Litening ROM v5 :S
Very odd, could be a faulty screen...may be something to do with the roms you've been flashing..they can make things go funny sometimes.
Can't help with the contacts issue, I've only used stock on this phone.
I think just take it to the shop (after you've flashed original rom of course, and got rid of the yellow triangle thing), and swap it for a new one.
Good luck.
First, I'd like to say a huge thanks to the developers on XDA for everything you've done for my wife's new Nook Tablet and my old HTC Hero CDMA that's now running ICS (you rock jaybob)! You guys are all awesome!
On to my problems...
First, rooted the wife's Nook Tablet, did the partial debloat (worked flawlessly Indirect, after I fixed a driver issue on my end...had to uninstall it and grab it to install the proper drivers before it installed the usb mass storage device driver, otherwise ADB wouldn't see it).
All the B&N stuff is there and using Go Launcher on the "android" side. Here's my first issue...some menus (Beautiful Widgets & Astro File Manager to name a few) and a few other random apps have white text on the menu making it essentially impossible to read what that option is. I played around a little with the Go Launcher settings, but can't find anything to darken the text. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Second, wife doesn't like the stock android keyboard because each letter you press the preview of that character pops up right above it. I know it's a throwback to when you had small screens and it's just a confirmation of the letter your pressing, but she finds it very distracting (I don't even notice it! heh heh) Tried installing other keyboards but since there's no way to go to the stock android settings (only goes to nook settings), I can't enable the keyboards. I tried going to the nook hidden settings and selecting a new keyboard from there, but only the "android keyboard" shows up, not the other couple I tried installing.
Last, is there any way to bring up the stock android settings options?
Swore I'd never say this to keep like sounding like a noob instead of just a lurker, but I looked around the forums and didn't see any questions that addressed my "problems" ...so if there are answers to these somewhere, a link would be appreciated.
I have the feeling these are issues that can't be fixed until get access to the bootloader/recovery and get the ability to cook custom ROMs.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The stock android settings menu doesn't exist. Try using the Hidden Settings app to get to the most common settings.
Ahh...that explains it...was looking in the wrong forum! lol I think I was searching my HTC Hero forum since that's where I default to. The keyboard fix worked. Gonna try the menu thing later after I finish reading all the posts.
