I had the exact same problem, but on only 1 of my Android apps and I never did figure out what the difference was.

My solution though was to do what Mayra suggested and add a TextWatcher to handle the TextChanged events. So it works no matter how the text entry occurs.

editName.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher () {
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
            Button btnSave = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnSaveToon);
            if(s.length() > 0)
                btnSave.setEnabled(true);
            else
                btnSave.setEnabled(false);
        }

        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        }

        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        }

    });

Works like a charm in the emulator and on my HTC Inspire
