Problem with text input after 2.1

[71ValiantSRT-4]

I use the phone pad style to text. ABC. Since i installed 2.1 it automatically sticks the phone on xt9. I have to toggle it to ABC before EVERY text. Ive tried like 3 different text apps. They all do the same thing. Please have some answers. This is extremely annoying. Thanks

Get swype. Way better IMO, and I'm not having any problem like that.

I had swype on it once before. I did contemplate putting it back on.
