BlackBerry Storm2 - Japanese Text Input Error

[LKHetzel]

Hi all, 

I have to respond to emails on a regular basis in Japanese, and on my Storm2, I get an error when switching input languages. I get "Input system error. System is being restarted." and then I don't have a keyboard for a few minutes. I can pull the battery, but the next time I switch, the error is back. I've done a complete device wipe, reinstalled the OS, and tried 2 Verizon supported OS versions. Any ideas? I might switch back to my Tour just to get things done!

We saw your solution solved on the Blackberry Website:  

Just passing the solution on for others who may have this similar issue.  

Do this to turn off the Predictive Input option:

1. On the BlackBerry smartphone, go to Options> Language.
2. Below the Input Style setting, click the Show Text Input Options
3. Deselect the check mark for Predictive Input.
