keyboard reverting to compact QWERTY

bartalane · #1 (**permalink**) 05-23-2009, 09:24 AM

I like to keep my on screen keyboard set to either Full QWERTY or a third party Zoom Board. When I slide open the hardware keyboard and then shut it, or even put the phone into Landscape mode the keyboard immediately reverts to the Compact QWERTY board on screen (In portrait) So I'm constantly resetting it to the full QWERTY.

Is there a way to get this phone to set on the screen keyboard I want without it constantly being reset to the compact QWERTY?

Thank you.

Thank you for the pointer. I did download it and followed the directions. It appears this program is designed to select a particular program after a soft reset, which is nice. However, it has no effect on my issue of the SIP changing to compact QWERTY have the hardware keyboard is slid open and then closed. Once back in portrait mode, after using the hardware keyboard, my TP is still reverting to Compact QWERTY and not the one I want to use. I still have to manually select the SIP after using my hardware keyboard every time.

Really!? That's weird...I gave u the link to that app because I thought it help keep the keyboard your currently using from switching to another....

Mine was doing this too (with FingerKeyboard) but it stopped when I updated to the newest MightyRom...if that helps.

EDIT: Nm, it messed up after I updated the PRL...maybe that has to do something with it?

I have Fingerkeyboard, and it was working fine, with Fingerkeyboard coming up as my default, for several weeks. However, I'm now having the same issue. I have to always switch to Fingerkeyboard manually when I go to txt, or do other things that use the onscreen keyboard. Really annoying.
