Are you certain that it happened after making/receiving a call? I'm not sure when mine reverted, so I'm sure even sure what to look for. I just know I'll be spending the next couple days checking it after everything that happens, lol.

Mine broke again. It lasted more than 1 day though. I installed some activesync killer and then I noticed it broke. So I uninstalled that and installed the updated cab and everything is back to how it is supposed to be. I will see if it breaks again.

I'm monitoring mine very closely anytime I do something to see if I can catch what is changing the settings. So far nothing definitive.

Here's the easy method... jump to this post (above) and install the cab I posted there.

That said, this solution will allow it to work for a while, but after a while it reverts back due to something in the main ROM. The only solution is to reapply the fix.

This tweak works perfect for me, just like my mogul. This only thing I notice that it don't do is remember my style of texting. My mogul would remember certains word that I use previously and have them stored for a later use.

Just wanted to report back saying it has been 5 days and the latest .cab has been working great.

I posted a new version tonight that makes one more setting change to supposedly disable T9 permanently. We'll see if it works or not (I'm not entirely convinced yet since I can still manually toggle T9 mode).

CAB file is posted in this post:

This latest version (Updated 11/18/2008) fixed the problem for me, after having the original old-school word correction keep my on-screen keyboard on numbers only. Hopefully it stays that way, thanks alot!

I was using the on screen keyboard to look up a contact to call. I called the person then hung up and entered an appointment into my calendar. I then soft restarted and went to type in a web site and the on screen keyboard was showing numbers only. No letters. I ran the .cab again and all is well.
