My AVD does the same, only this solution doesn't work. Tap and hold tells me that there is nothing to paste. – Giszmo Jun 20 '13 at 02:24

For emulator you can run such two commands to remove Pinyin IME (so latin would become default):

> adb shell

# mount -rw -o remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

# rm /system/app/PinyinIME.apk

the same, but easier to put into Jenkins:

> adb shell mount -rw -o remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

> adb shell rm /system/app/PinyinIME.apk

You can first check which device is mounted to /system by running

# mount

in adb shell.

If you need to remove another IME - just change a filename in "rm" command.

Note: this will remove Pinyin IME completely. While you're not completely sure - don't do it on real devices as it would be hard to bring that IME back :)

What do you mean it gets translated to Chinese? From home screen, press Menu, Settings, Language and Keyboard..maybe you can tweak the settings there?
