Iphone stuck in Emoji keyboard

I have an Iphone 3G with IOS version 5.0.1 and all of a sudden any app that uses the keyboard will only bring up Emoji.   I am unable to delete the Emoji keyboard.  For example, if I want to search the iPhone, no keyboard comes up, I just get the Emoji keyboard option and clicking on the globe to the left does nothing.   

Thanks modular747.  I reset all settings and this removed the Emoji keyboard, leaving me with just US Qwerty and that definitely helped me.  I was then able to confirm I have a hardware problem.  Basically the characters on the left most part of the screen are not touch active anymore, so when I was in Emoji, that cut out the globe which is the only way to switch out to another keyboard.   Now I am having trouble with passwords that use A or 1 etc.  Time for a new screen or a new phone.  BTW, I guess the phone is a 3Gs.

  • HT4976 how can I use emoji keyboard on iPhone 3GS????

    how can  I use emoji keyboard on iPhone 3GS In wts app nd version ov this is 5.1.1(9B206)????????

    Once the keyboard is connected, it should work with any app that uses the standard keyboard interface, so it will work with iWork.
    br121: iWork was released for iPad quite some time ago, and updated for iPhone 4 recently.

  • I have an ipod 2g , The keyboard won't work! Or at least some of it's letters and numbers won't. please help i'm stuck with emojis

    i have an ippd touch 2g , a part of my keyboard won't work , i can type letters but i can't type numbers . please help i'm stuck with emojis keyboard

    Try restarting the iPod by holding down the lock and home button together and then slide the power button to turn it off and then wait 10 seconds and start it up again. If it is not a reset issue then it may be a hardware issue. Is your iPod damaged or have you dropped it recently? If it is a hardware problem then you may not be able to fix it. If your iPod has multitasking options like the new iOS devices, close out the app and then try again, it should reset your device to letters instead of emojis.

  • IPhone 6. How do I enable emoji keyboard? It is listed in settings/general/keyboards but I cannot highlight?

    iPhone 6.  How do I enable emoji keyboard in apps.  It is listed in settings/general/keyboards under English but I see no where to turn it on or use it.

    Make sure you first add the Emoji keyboard:
    Settings/General/Keyboards/Add New Keyboard, then select the Emoji keyboard.
    To use the Emoji keyboard, you access it anytime the on-screen keyboard pops up for use by tapping the smiley-face icon on the keyboard's bottom row, left-hand side. I believe iOS 7 & ealier don't use the smiley-face icon but an icon that looks like a globe.
    To return to the normal keyboard after using the Emoji keyboard, tap on the globe icon on the bottom row, left-hand side.

  • My emoji keyboard wont work on my iphone 5c! The keyboard is enabled, but everytime i am typing something, even if it is just a text, it wont show the button you click on o switch to emojis! Help!

    The emoji keyboard on my iphone 5c is enabled, but wont work! No matter what app i am in, even if it just my messages, the button that you click on to switch your normal keyboard to emojis is not there. Help!!!

    RESET DEVICE
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • Can't "unselect" Emoji keyboard

    My IPhone 3 is having a problem with the Emoji keyboard in that I can't select normal text when typing a message, either in Messages or Whats Ap. When I try to unselect it under Edit>Keyboards it won't play nice. I downloaded the latest ios this morning which reset my phone and still have the problem. Help please 'cause I can no longer send texts and I can't afford a new phone.

    My bluetooth keyboard rarely syncs with my G5 on startup or after sleep but I put this down to using a belkin unsupported usb chip (i'm assured they link properly with an internal apple certified bluetooth chip). I've found the best way to sync is to turn off the keyboard (switch on back) and turn it back on. Then type on the keyboard - i know, sounds mad, but if you just type away it's sending signals out all the time and eventually it just syncs and starts typing on screen. I've found key combinations are best, for example, shift-a letter or control and spacebar... just anything... just type away until it connects!

  • Screen Frozen on Emoji Keyboard

    I have an iphone 3gs, and the screen froze on the emoji keyboard. I tried turning my screen sideways to see if I was just hitting an insensitive spot trying to change from emoji to alphabet, but it will not change the keyboard either way. I can do everything on my phone but type messages other than emojis, and as I recently discovered, delete my running apps. Although holding the running apps down will cause them to wiggle, which would normally allow me to delete them, my phone will not let me actually delete them. Ive tried syncing my phone to my computer, resetting it multiple times, and left it turned off overnight, hoping it would somehow help. I've even tried turning off the emoji keyboard - which it will also not allow me to do. I updated my phone a week ago now, and havent had any problems until now.  I am trying to avoid restoring my phone if at all possible. Has anyone had this problem, or have any suggestions as to go bout fixing it? Thank you!

  • How to remove Emoji keyboard from Add New Keyboard?

    I already remove the App ... but the keyboard still work and some symbol stay together  .. they change into faces .. dose anyone know how to completely remove this keyboard??? remove it from Add New Keyboard...

    I think you are missing the point here. There is no known problem with the keyboard and it's functionality on the iPhone. You do not need to remove the keyboard to fix it. I have it installed and use it, it does not make symols appear when using other English keyboards. If you are seeing symbols entered unintentionally there is a problem with your iPhone's software. To see symbols you must add the Emoji keyboard to the keyboard list. Even then you must select this keyboard when typing a message and physically select the icon you want. It may be possible if you have a different keyboard selected, other  than US English, that has some built in short cuts for symbol. The US English keyboard does not. 
    If you jailbroke and modified the iPhone's software in any way it may have messed up the keyboards functionality. I suppose any app you installed to enhance keyboard function may have effect it, but I don't believe Apple would allow it intentionally. Any chat app you use may come with it's own keyboard, changing the system keyboards will probably not fix them. Restore will fix any software issues the iPhone may have although if caused by an app it may come back when it is installed. Restore will erase media files which are not included in the iPhone backup files.
    Discussing jailbreak procedures of iPhones here is prohibited and I do not recommend it to fix any issue. I only mention it since some people have problems with iPod/iPhones after they have jailbroke them but fail to mention it in their initial post. It gets futile trying to help someone with a very rare issue such as this and after many attempts to fix it you are told the iPhone is jailbroke which caused the problem.
    Again the best fix here is to Restore it back to a clean iOS install using a back up. If it still does it Restore it as new and add apps till you see the problem appear.

  • Why can't I activate Emoji keyboard?

    I easily enabled the Emoji keyboard on my iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS4, but I cannot activate it on my wife's 3GS with iOS4. Why will it work on one phone but not on another? They are identical hardware with identical software on the same plans and same network (they are even billed on the same bill).

    I find this to be incorrect. on my iPhone, I have the english keyboard and the emoji keyboard enabled, and they are toggled with the globe icon like any other keyboard.
    It looks like I was wrong, the emoji key on the Japanese keyboards is there even when the Emoji keyboard is turned off. But for me turning on the Emoji keyboard does not result in another keyboard (or a globe icon if there is only one other keyboard active). So it doesn't seem to have a function.....there must be a trick to it.
    PS Here is one description of the trick (have not tried it myself yet):

  • IPhone 3GS On-Screen Keyboard Problem!

    The number, space bar and return key on my iPhone 3GS on-screen keyboard is not working until you tilt it to landscape mode! When I tap the number key, it activates the cap key. When I tap the space bar,depending on weather I'm taping the left, middle or right, it will activate the "X, C or B keys, respectively and when I tap the return/done key, it will activate the backspace key! This problem happened suddently about two days ago!
    What on earth is the problem and can anyone please help me?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Try pushing the "home" button twice rapidly to get the multitasking bar to open. Hold on the icon for the app store for a few seconds until you get the option to close it. Then try reopening it and see what happens. That will probably fix it.

  • After update to iOS 8.3 I do not have emoji keyboard.

    Prior to the update I had Emoji++ keyboard installed; which worked fine.  After the upgrade, the Emojii++ keyboard crashes occasionally (it never did before).
    I was hoping I would get the new Apple emoji keyboard after the upgrade but it isn't there.  I uninstalled the Emoji++ keyboard then deleted it from my iPad Air, but the Apple Emoji keyboard is still not there, just the speaker button.
    I backed up before upgrading, so I tried doing a restore with the thought of removing Emojii++ before the 8.3 upgrade. I've never restored before.
    When it was finished restoring I was presented with a plain screen with the following text "swipe here to upgrade". I assumed that this was "upgrading" me to 8.2 because there didn't appear to be any other option. Unfortunately, this put me back to 8.3 and my current issue. What else could I have done besides "swipe here to upgrade"?
    I Really want the Apple emoji keyboard, so any assistance would be appreciated.

    When you do "add new keyboard", do you really not see one called Emoji anywhere on the list?
    If not, try resetting your device

  • Suggestion for a possible iphone with slide out keyboard.

    I dont really know if there is a suggestion forum but i thought it would be neat if apple designed a iphone with a physical keyboard for those people who love to text. Apple could even run a internet pole to see what there customers would think i mean the iphone is top notch but i think having one with a slide out keyboard could possibly increase apples sales. Any who just thought id throw that out there and keep up the great work Apple.

    This is where you need to go with your suggestion: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    I would not hold my breath.
