T9 only inputs numbers
 

My problem is that my "Touch Keypad" that I use for T9 input, is only inputing numbers. Whether I'm on the 'abc', '123', or 'XT9', it always just inputs the number of the key I press. Is there an easy fix for this? I usually text with this. Please help asap, thanks.

Switch to a different input method then switch back. i believe you can switch then switch right back. if not then switch and send a message then switch back. if that dont work, then soft reset and you should be all good. :)

This started happening about 3 days ago. Since then, I've tried all of the different input methods (cause my usual wasn't working), and I've downloaded and installed 2 different keyboards; along with two soft resets. It's still happening. Any ideas?

This has happened to me also, but seems to have fixed itself... maybe try reinstalling the keyboard and making sure the language is correct... not sure beyond that

I have the same problem as well. My thought is that now that they separated out the full QWERTY password keyboard, some fields will only accept input from the full qwerty but not from the Xt9 layout. FOr example, input in pocketplus icon changing and renaming dialog.

That is true, you trying to type in a password field? or does it happen in every program everywhere?

Re: T9 only inputs numbers
 

It only happens in fields where the password layout used to pop up automatically in the old rom. Such as PocketPlus, password fields, text inputs in oper browser, etc.

Yes i know, i was asking the thread starter

Only place I've noticed it is in texting sms. I've been using qwerty for most other inputs. I'm sure it's happening in more places though, too. It's the stock verizon rom with only a few tweaks and a few programs.

Can you check something? Goto: Start Menu -> Settings -> Personal -> Lock

If you change the password type from "Simple PIN" (numeric) to "Strong alphanumeric" (alphabet + numbers) see if that effects your problem any where else.

You should be able to notice in the "Lock" app, that it will change the keyboard from numeric to alphanumeric...I don't know if the fix involves setting a password for your phone or not, but that may be a start to finding a regedit if it works!
