No keyboard listed under all apps. But I found that I have a choice of three “keyboard” set ups and had somehow switched to one not as compatible with my phone. :-). You got me pointed in the right direction and have helped me in the past. Thanks

  in htc it will show up as htc-input with a particular icon that is assigned to the dictionary also… so if you look for the brand of the device you will get close to it…

Any way to clear cache if you can’t log into the phone because it will not display a keyboard?

  Boot into Android recovery and clear Cache Partition is an option.
