Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:53:58 GMT

I'd like to know how NOT to use POBox Touch. I've tried almost everything, and I still cant do anything to change back to the normal international full keyboard, which really anoys me! I do not want anything japanese/chinese - just the normal keyboard! Can somebody help me?

To select the International keyboard, go to the settings menu ---> Language & keyboard settings ---> International Keyboard

I believe to uninstall the POBox Touch app you need to be a super user.

In order to be a super user, you need to root the phone.

Also to uninstall the Japanese and Chinese keyboards, you also need to be a super user which is achieved by rooting the phone.

Not sure if you have tried a settings/factory reset yet. It may solve your problem.

Obviously you will need to back up any phone data or settings befroe proceeding.

If that did not work, can you try to perform a software/firmwware repair using PC Companion
Connect your phone to the PC via the USB cable

If the repair by PC Companion still did not work, can you try the SE Update service

Download, install and launch the update service. Follow the onscreen prompts.

Not sure what OS version you have. Anyway it does not really matter, as the general process is similar.

Check out this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202479

It should not take long to root the phone. Note this is an unofficial process.

POBox Touch is irritating...i was not able to reset to my international kbd... what u need to do is,

1. install any 3rd party kbd app like perfect key

2. open that app at that time it will ask you to choose keybord

3. choose international keyboard instead of perfect key 😛
