strange problem with HD44780-LCD-Controller

I have a very strange problem with a LCD-Display and I need some help.

My setup is a CY8CKIT-049-42xx with PSoC 4, a HD44780-LCD display with 2x16-characters.

I used the bootloadable-example and added the LCD-Component 2.10 (name LCD) and mapped the output to Port P2.0-6, connected to the display as described in the datasheet.

I checked several times all the cables and tried several options but the strange behaviour stayed.

Here is my code in main, with comments what happens on the display:

    int main()
{
    LCD_Start();
    LCD_PrintString("Test"); // only "t" is displayed.
    CyDelay(500);

    uint8 i=0;
for(i=0;i<80;i++)
    {
             LCD_PrintInt8(i); // This prints 0-F in the upper left corner of the LCD. but only one digit
            CyDelay(333);
    }
    j++;
    LCD_PrintString("Hallo"); // only "o" is printed
    CyDelay(500);
}

What puzzles me is the fact, that it prinzipally seems to work. The character 0-F are printed fine.

But neither PrintString nor PutChar or any other functions seem to work.

Can anybody help? Did I forget so set anything?

Thanks

Andreas
