Never ending story - Keyboard Layout

Hey guys!
First I'd like to say, that this forum is awesome - never seen so much know-how on a forum before.
I got a problem with my SPV-M3000, that i bought in Poland with a QWERTY Keyboard layout. I've flashed a German Qtek 9100 Rom on it, but the layout got messed up. It's QWERTZ and not QWERTY and all the symbols (like @ or $) are not in the position they should be.
Well i've read a lot of threads with the keyboard-layout problem. Tried the registry-hack but it didn't work for me. Then I tried AEKMAP, but I don't know how to configure it - do I have to buy it? I've found a WWE *.AEK File on the website, but the layout is still messed up but in another way. Plz somone help me! It sux to write something with a false keyboard layout!

No one got a solution 4 my problem?

try this article you will need to find teh correct country code ms have it on there iste i have a uk model but need to use the US version to work

Dopod S1 (htc touch)

Hi
i know there are already some post about this but im really lost
Whay is the difference between the one in HK and china mainland?
The wifi is software disable or really not exist on chinese one?
thanks

up.........................

Dopod S1 / Htc Touch
All factory authorized cell phones sold in China do not have Wifi enabled.
Dopod S1 does not have Wifi capability. It comes with CHS installed.
Htc Touch sold in H.K. has Wifi capability. It comes with CHT installed
Offical Htc Touch sold in H.K. is CHT version. You may get an English version (uk ROM).
For those who are not experts in Chinese, there are two major written Chinese systems, CHT and CHS. China use CHS, H.K. and Taiwan use CHT.
Most Chinese OS phones will DISPLAY either CHT or CHS and with the corresponding Chinese input system but can display SMS in English, CHT and CHS. All Chinese OS will display English material with no problem because all Chinese OS's are built from English OS's.
For those who want a Chinese OS phone and run English programs, just buy a Chinese phone of your choice and there is no issue.
For those who want an English OS but want to Read/Write Chinese of CHT or CHS, you have to install external Chinese OS and input softwares. CE-Star, Monster Chinese or just a Chinese display fonts and there are a few choices of Chinese input software.
For those who bought a Htc Touch with CHT in Hong Kong, you can change it to English OS if that is what you want. Otherwise just skip this section. Step1, CID unlock the phone. You may pay someone on-line to do it. Price I paid was US$41, that is 20 pounds or 28 eur or you may wait till someone provides a free service or program. Step2, download the Dopod WWE ROM from this forum, a small homework to do. Step3 is to install ActiveSync 4.5 on your Windows XP machine and connect your phone with a USB cable. Make sure the machines can see each other, Guest relationship is fine. Step4 is just to run the Dopod WWE ROM program, follow the screen instructions till you click the final Update button. Step5 is go and get a cup of cofee, if you don't like cofee, tea or water is OK. Just drink whatever you got and wait. Don't pull the cable or power off the machine. You will get enough time to finish your cofee or tea before the screen tells you everything is done. You may skip step 5 if you just like to stare at the screens and pray. Step6 is disconnects the machines and hard reset it one more time for good luck by pressing both left and right buttons and poke its ass. Screen will display a message to ask you to confirm your intention. Press the center button to confirm.
Now, you have an English OS machine. You may need to enter your name in ower's information and proceed to install whichever Chinese software package that you like.
For those who just want to have Chinese display, just install the minimum and not a full blown package.
Yes, Elf, Touch or S1 whatever it is called has very limited storage memory. 15 Mega Bytes less than its sibblings. After the installation of Chinese OS system with some nice Chinese display fonts and Chinese input system, you don't have much storage memory left to install other applications.
On the other hand, you may wonder, why should they want to sell you a perfect machine?
Just slightly better than the existing models but never be perfect is the moto........ and there is no perfect!!!

so if y buy english version or chinese version..already unlock or not??can we use that phone in another country??i still confuse here...CID unlock what its means??
is it like iphone lock by the at&t so we can use another simcard or what?
chinese input need a lot of space in memory..so i think better buy chinese version that already install CE-star.

oky thanks
mean if i want wifi i need buy the htc not the dopod... hk is little far from me

I think he basically told you in his original message.
You need to buy the English version and install a chinese package such as CE-STAR. This will let you read and write messages in Simplified and Traditional (you select which to use yourself).
CHT = Chinese Traditional
CHS = Chinese Simplified

@xufuchang
Out of 42 posts you made in this forum, you have no less than 38 posts is asking questions on what version of Htc Touch or Dopod S1 or whether to buy it in Hong Kong. It does not sound like you live in Hong Kong nor you are native Chinese of either Chinese system. You don't have to so agonizing on your choice of just a cell phone. If you made a mistake, so what, friends in this forum will help you. It is a hot item, if you don't like it you can re-sell it easily. This forum has enough information to help you to make the decision. If you want to know all the details and charateristics of this phone before you can make up your mind, I suggest you just wait a couple of months and I am sure there will be a version of Elf that will fit all your requirement made by one of the manufacturer. Today, for all I know, not all countries carries Touch or S1. Regarding to your latest question on CID lock, I am sure not too many people know how that is done but only know what it does to the user.
CID locked phone means you cannot change its OS. If it is CHT, CHS, or Eng interface language, it stays that way. You have to get it CID unlock, (don't ask how again), to change the ROM's basic language.
I stand for correction from more experience forum members.
SIM locked phone means you can only use the SIM card provided from your original phone service provider. In most of those cases, you bought the phone with heavy discount or even free with a one or two years service contract.
Phones from authorized dealer are CID locked because manufacturer warrantees. All service provider phones sold in U.S. are also SIM locked. Nearly all phones sold in China are not SIM locked that is part of a reason why phones are more expensive in China because most are not subsidized by phone service providers.
So, ask yourself what you want this phone for. If you concern about travelling and need to go to Japan and use the same phone, then you need a 3G phone. Touch won't work in Japan. If you just want to use it in Indonesia, you have to know your own country. I can tell you this much, I cannot send Chinese SMS from a U.S. phone to China. I have to use a China phone to do that and pay the roaming charge from China to USA and USA to China.
As far as Wifi question goes, not everyone care about it the same way. Most people want to have it but hardly use it. I am one of those people. Wifi burns power and surfing with a tiny screen just beyond my eyes comfort zone.
Either you buy the Touch or S1 you will enjoy it. As I said, re-selling it won't be a problem if you dislike it.

I am surprise you saw it for RMB 3,500. In Shanghai, Dopod S1 is sold for 4,480 from authorized dealers, that is with warrantee. I expect somewhere over 4K can get one. Htc Touch is sold for 3,680 in H.K. and lowest 3,580 couple weeks ago. Price dropped??

What languages will be built in ?

Hi!
I am wondering what languages will be likely to be present.
I just sold my iPod Touch and did find the Japanese input to be very good. I am hoping the same will be available for The HD !
On my TyTn II, I use CE-Star and have used Asukal's software, but I do hope Japanese is easy to 'call up'!
Any opinions welcomed !

Why not flash your phone in japan's ROM

Hi,
I was thinking that, and yes, done a lot of reading but not flashed a rom before.
I am not sure if a Japanese rom offers full functions. I think the Japanese EMobile Kaiser is not fully functional and has many things disabled.
I do not necessarily need the menu's to be in Japanese.

Support for Swiss Keyboard Layout (Hardware)

Hi, i've got the following Problem. I got a HTC Advantage x7500, 8gb version, updated with official ROM Win6.1 (German) and it works just fine.
However, when i use it with the docking station and use an external keyboard / mouse i have found no possible way anywhere on the net to have a swiss keyboard layout accepted by the Advantage. I've read my way through several forums, about 100 internet-pages, tried about seven different softwares, and nothing actually worked.
Does anyone of you have any idea how i could go about it to make the Advantage work with a swiss usb-keyboard? Can i do any remapping in the keyboard.dll? How would i have to go about that?
I'm grateful for any help you can give me.
thank you

Samsun Omnia 735; GT-B7350 Microprocessor - Prozessor

I have searched a long time to get informations about the built in processor of the new Samsung Omnia 735. Now I have owned one for testing.
The buit in processor is the Qualcom Typ: 7227 with a recommanded maximum clock Frequency of 600MHZ.
Fine phone, but not as good as the HP Glisten (if someone can provide me an unlockcode)
more Information you can find @ http://www.samsung.de/de/news/read.aspx?pmguid=89eb2cb1-82cb-42e5-9e74-82ae997c3909

Hi Steve,
did you by any chance buy a protective casing for your Omnia 735?
If yes (even if no, actually) - can you recommend one?
I don't care if it's leather of plastic, as long as it does its job well.
Since I'm a student and driving around a lot with my bicycle I'd like to try to be more careful with my next smartphone - my Palm Treo Pro didn't take the few times I threw it down too well (microphone and gsm reception are slightly broken now).
Thanks!

And about the file keypad_ORSAY.dll - the one with file size 68312 bytes in \Windows?
I can find it using "Search" in PocketController Pro, but it's not displayed in the file explorer... any idea why and how to copy it? Do I need to install Resco Explorer to do that?

Anyone looking for a cover for their Samsung Omnia 735, the Bugatti slim leather case (size M) fits perfectly and looks very smart
It has a velco strap at the top to stop the Omnia falling out and you can pull the tab to lift the phone out of the pouch for easy access

Thanks a lot!
I'll look into it!

Hi,
got a Omina 735 since Feb 11.
It's working well, however i don't like WM 6.5.3. Imho 6.1 Prof. was way better, as flicking around with the finger is a bit awkward on the new 6.5.3 GUI.
However I didn't find any ROMs for this device yet. not even here in the forums is a single thread concerning the Omnia 735.
Do you know any?
It's a great thumbtype smartphone with long battery life and a wonderful casing.
regards

I second this, it's an excellent phone.
6.5.3 GUI is fine for me, for the today screen I'm working with WAD and PocketBreeze
The only thing I really dislike is that the internal GPS does not work without network connection. Stupid, isn't it? Is there a way to simulate a network connection so that the GPS will work?

Indeed. It's a really nice phone. Why so few users?
I'm not sure what you meant by "network connection" but on my B7350, internal GPS works without data connection or even SIM card. Does it vary according to country versions?

Hello,
I found some ROMs here: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-b7350.htm .
Does anybody know how to enable hidden setting options that were present on WM6.1?
Thanks!

Great minds must think alike.. ;-)
I just found the same link yesterday, but due to time-constraints haven't tried it out yet.
If you test it, keep in mind: if you want your provider-settings to be "automatically" working, you should download a firmware with the same CSC.
(Find out typing in *#1234# on your samsung 735)
Cheers!

Regarding the "hidden settings" from wm6.5 vs 6.1 ... I didn't have any luck. All I was able to do was use a registry editor and do trial/error comparisons with my wm6.1 phone (Treo Pro) and changed the settings accordingly. (e.g. to disable the dictionary/autocomplete.)

@Belrei:
I'm using the GPS without GPRS/network connection just fine!
(E.g. I use Google Maps via WiFi without the GPRS-triangulation just fine. If by network connection you mean AGPS-supplied information.)
... if you want to exchange tricks and how to use this phone best, just drop me a p/m.
(I'm using "Bob" and not "ONE", but I guess that wouldn't make any difference in our scenario.)
PS: GPS TTF takes longer, of course, but beyond that it works. (TTF=time to [first] fix.)
