Help Reset Keyboard to Default?

[Digital Jester]

Ok so I installed this experimental keyboard thats supposed to be optimized for smaller screens (Called 8Pen, free on the store if you wanna check it out, quite cool.)

But I wanted to return to the defauly sony erricson keyboard before I went out last night (this 8Pen thing's kinda funky and I knew it would all go wrong once alcohol was mixed into the equation lol.) But I couldn't find the option to. So uninstalled 8Pen, but now all I get is a standard "Mobile" keyboard ( 2=abc, 3=def etc.) in portrait mode and a crappy QWERTY keyboard in landscape as opposed to a full QWERTY in both.

Anyone got any idea's how to get the default keyboard back?

Thanks.

You should be able to do this by following the bellow steps:

Main Menu > Messaging > New Message > Press and hold your finger on the white box that says "Write New" > select either "Default" or "Android".

Thank you!!!

The best part is my idiot friend managed to somehow set my phone to god damn Mandarin whilst trying to fix it... For the past day I've had to guess my way through the menu's... I got the keyboard back to normal then through sheere blind luck managed to get it back to english lol.

No problem, if you get the handset stuck in the wrong language again just go into settings, look for the option near the bottom with the "A" icon next to it, select that and then the very top option on the next page, you can then select English.

Swift Key X , its a paid app but love it as a keyboard replacement.

thanks, worked like a charm. i had cleared the data from the international keyboard to reset the learned dictionary (not custom words) and got a blocky, awkward keyboard with multiple languages available on it. completely blanked on the text area menu.

When your Android keyboard does not work and shows some problem on Android then its better to restore to default. Here is how to restore keyboard to default:

· Click on Settings > go to Personal > Language & Input option

· Then move down to Keyboard & Input Methods option for keyboards list installed

· Here to switch keyboards, click on the Default option and select among the installed and active keyboards.

Even you can click on button just next to the installed keyboard to change its settings. Click on the Settings button for Google keyboard > click on Appearance & layouts > Theme to change look and feel of stock Android keyboard.
