Symbols in Hermes Keyboard Got mixed up? help!! - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi guys! It's my first time to post here. I,ve got a problem with regards to My Hermes Softbank X01HT with a DOPOD Asia WWE ROM. The symbols in my sliding keyboard got mixed up. Like when I press the @ symbol the ? appears, when I press ! in my sliding keyboard the @ appears, press ? the - symbol appears and so on and so forth. I tried to tweak the registry using the method in the "Known Issues of Hermes Thread" to no avail. Is there a solution to this problem? or this is a harware issue? Could you help me please!!! Thanks in anticipation of your help.

I have this same problem. Did you resolve it yet???

Theres a keyboard fix somewhere around here... you just gotta look for it.. or find the registry setting to revert your keyboard back to normal.

Its in the wiki

When applying a non-cingular ROM to an 8525 its default keyboard is different than the 8525.
The Fix:

keyboard messed up, registry hacks??

Hi Forum,
I installed the japanese IME as it was discribed at another forum (http://www.firstloox.org/forums/showthread.php?s=c973622a044a5a4a87c1f6099f097d74&t=4510), and it seems to work almost perfect on my qtek 9100, new German ROM installed. Only problem: the program changes the keyboard settings, means that I can't use the symbol- key (function+space) any more, so ä, ü, ö, ', ... are gone. I already tried AEKMap, when downloading the German keyboard file, it doesn't show up within the program. I inserted a new string called "Locale" to the registry-settings at HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd etc., as it was posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44489
-nothing helped. Do I miss something?? I will go to Japan next Saturday and desperately neeeeeed a Japanese IME- but also my German keyboard layout!
Greetings from Berlin,

Hi again, some more information: It seems that the keyboard is working, the only thing which doesn't work is the "symbol"-key (the "blue dot + space"-combination). Does anybody know if there's something hidden in the registry how I can re-map it and get it back to work??
Thanks,
Andreas
There's a text file you'd need. You can easily create this yourself, though it might help to just find it somewhere.

Hi ZeBoxx,
doesn't work for me, unfortunately. As I said, the layout of the keyboard is ok, only thing is the missing function of the "symbol"-key. I played around with different keyboard settings, they all work ok BUT this symbol think doesn't. Any other ideas??
Andreas
Did you specifically read this last part?
Symbols List - Changing the symbols when using the Sym hardware key along with a regular key (select devices)
Change the Symbols List
To change the Symbols List simply find the file "\Windows\sym.txt", and edit + save this file. The structure of the file is pretty straight-forward:
On each line, type the regular letter or number for the key as it is when normally pressed. Follow that letter up with the alternative characters ('Symbols') in the order you wish for them to appear. For example, from a WWE ROM:
eèéêë
This will replace the letter 'e' when using the Sym key with 'è', then when striking the Sym key again with 'é', then 'ê', and so on.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure, but as I said, it's not the problem that this text file is wrong or anything- it seems that the symbol key doesn't work at all. No matter how many times I use this combination (blue dot + space), nothing changes, no effect on any letter/symbol/etc.
In the meanwhile I did a hard reset, installed all the apps again, same issue. I uninstalled the japanese IME, back to normal. I'm pretty sure that this prog changes some registry setting I need for the use of the symbol-key- I searched the whole registry, but since I'm not familiar at all with this I didn't find anything helpful...
Andreas
got exactly the same problem. Searching Internet and all but I dont find any solution: there must be a registry entry enabeling it but where...
Yep, got the same problem. Finding it hard to search for relevant problems to do with this. Any help would be apprieciated.

HTC 12-key keypad not showing

I installed the HTC keyboard_keypad into my HERMES flashed with the black satin ROM. It's great and I love it. Problem is, after I installed the LetsJapan6 by Asukal to read japanese, the 12-key htc touch keypad no longer shows up. It only shows the 20-key keyboard even though I selected the HTC keypad.
I think it's just a registry problem, but I'm not sure. Tried searching the forums but couldn't find any. Any ideas how to fix the problem. I want to use the 12 keypad more because it has larger buttons than the 20 keypad. The HERMES is quite limited in space for the 20-key keyboard.
If no one knows how to fix this, is their a way to get the list of registry keys changed during the installation of letsjapan06? Hope asukal could help me on this

Hardware Keyboard Characters Out of Place

Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a vodafone version of htc hermes, the v1605. Everything was alright, but I discovered that some keys on the hardware keyboard is out of place. For example, a key that was supposed to input a hyphen "-" turns out to be a "?" instead. "!" turns out to be "~" and so on. A couple of them are misplaced, while most of them are alright.
How do I fix this problem? I asked my local technician and he told me that it has something to do with the registry or something. I suspect that the driver is to be blamed. Any help will very much be appreciated. Thanks.
you can change the registry here:

or download schap's advanced config and change the keyboard mapping. you can find it in the stickies in the dev and hacking subforum

Swaped Hardware keys problem

Running WM6.1 on my Hermes but the "y" and "z" keys on the hardware keyboard are swapped.
Is there a way to change the keys back to normal, perhaps via a registry hack ?

Hi my first time posting here, so sorry if this question was already asked.
My 8525 keyboard has letters that do not match the key symbol. It only happens on the shift characters and not the letters. It seems they are off by one or two keys at times. Are there any fixes or has anyone else had this problem.
Thanks all great site by the way !

So to overcome the unmatch keyboad letter - i use japanese setting layout keyboard
