softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

Thought for sure someone would have had this problem already, did a search and nothing so....

Recently and for no apparent reason my softkey (touch screen keyboard) has the ABC keys grayed out. When i hit the key to have it pop up, the number keys appear but ABC is grayed out and I cant access it. No recent software installs, only thing that comes to mind is a not9 cab i installed about a week ago but I did not have any problems until now.

Thanks in advacne

If you recently changed to classic word correction, that is what causes this.

Here is the temp fix:

ü HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000000
ü HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
XT9SupportMSSipvalue="0"

Does this reenable t9? I need t9 to be disable so i can use logmein and keyboard, I dont need t9 either. My keyboard worked fine after I installed the cancelT9cab, this just happened.

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

No, this will not re-enable T9. But if you don't care about word correction at all and you don't want this issue to continue happening; you can simply disable T9.

How:
1. uninstall the cab that you installed (CancelT9.cab)
2. You can goto Options under "Input" and uncheck T9 and Check ABC.

This did not work, the softkeys ABC QWERTY keyboard is till gray and I cant click on it

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

I uninstalled the t9cab and my keyboard is back! However, now t9 is back and I cant use MIE logme in (w/ tp you need to diasable t9 for it to work). Is there another way to disable it?

Wondering why it took almost a week with this cab installed with no problem and then bamb, out of nowhere problems.

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

Did you soft reset after the changes?

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

FYI on how i fixed it. I uninstalled the not9.cab file and keyboard came back. I reinstalled it and it disable t9 and my soft keys still work...strange

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

softkey ABC keyboard disapeared again today, uninstalled the not9.cab again and its back but I need to have T9 disabled so I can use another program, how do I do this (other solution other than the disable cab)?

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

I found a solution for this in the Fuze form. I had the same problem on my TP. I used the cab posted over there and it worked.

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

This did not work. The thing is you need to disable t9 for logmein.com to work through MIE, but after having the cab file installed (it is found under one of the stickies for a change you can do) my full qwerty gets knocked out.

The cab you mentioned still allows t9 to work and thus logmein remote desktop keyboard support does not work. Anyone else got any ideas?

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

this thread is barried no fix was posted, any other ideas guys>?

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

bump?

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

well im just going to write this off as unable to solve, i cant use logmein.com to remote desktop through MIE becuase T9 prevents the physical keyboard for working and if i use a disablet9 cab it kills my on screen qwerty keyboard. I will post this over at XDA and see if they can figure it out.

Re: softkey ABC keyboard gone
 

Why don't you try another type of soft keyboard? I use PCM keyboard (which is free). When I first started using it I encountered the same problem that you have when trying to use the stock keyboards. Doing the Registry fix in the previous posts worked for me. I know you said that registry fix did not work for you, but during that time the PCM keyboard still worked fine. So maybe using another keyboard would still work. Did the problem persist even when using the WinMo keyboard? I believe it is "Keyboard" when choosing fron the SIP list.

Here is a link to one of the skins I made for the PCM keyboard v.14. You can just google PCM to download the keyboard itself.
