Sorry to disturb
To change type of keyboard you have to press the small arow (hard to do with big finger like me) which is just next (to the right) of the image which is used to show or hide the keyboard.
Then you can choose the type of keyboard you want.
Sorry again for the disturbing.

ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD - WHERE IS THE "?"

I prefer using the on-screen keyboard with the enlarged keys, and with the "space" key.
The problem is, that I can't find the "?". So everytime I have to ask a question, I have to change the input method - that is so irritating. I have to say, that my keyboard is scandinavian - so maybe they had to sacrifice the "?" for the local letters we have.
But, if the "?" is there on the keyboard - then do somebody know where it is hidden? And if not, is it posible in changing the layout/some letters - in a simple and easy way?
On an English keyboard the ? is accessed via the shift key.
Unfortunately that is not the case om the scandinavian keyboard. Maybe it is because there are not enough keys - since they have to include three letters more than the english (æ, ø and å).
But they have included signs like: "["
A sign most people rarely use, but a "?" people use all the time. :?
Do they ? ;-)
Sorry I have no idea, but couldn't resist.

Dev Idea: keyboard layout switch

Hi everyone,
I am sorry but I am not a dev at all, but I was wondering if anyone can dev a keyboard layout switch...
I have checked many post and if I am not getting it wrong, you have to go to "setting>local ..." to change the keyboard layout and T9 dictionnaries.
My point is, as a french, english, chinese keyboard users, I have to frequently change my keybaord layout. So I was wondering if anyone can compilate a mix of the following applications (can be founded on market) :
-apowersms (if you go to setting, there is a language filter, which is very interesting because you can choose which language keyboard you need) (and the keyboard layout isn't so bad looking)
- softkeyboard (for the keyboard button, when you press it long, you can directly change to the language you want)
I have also haykuro Hero Rom, as you can see in the following video, there's tool and keyboard button, maybe we can use this as a base....

I would be happy to help in developing this, but i don't know how
no one interested by this?

Can't have T9 automatically ON for HW keyboard

When I use HW keyboard it always has ABC mode on. I have to use FN key and T9 key to choose T9 manually.
How can I enable T9 to be automatically ON when I use HW keyboard?
Thank you for your help
the t9 always works with a onscreen keyboard. Also if you manage it with a hack a problem would be to where the word suggestions should pop up on the screen.
when someone write a programme for your suggestion than it would be a custom keyboard without letters, only word suggestions and pops automaticly up when the keyboard on the pro is used.
Maybe someone already wrote it.
It would be nice trough
Search for the cab god damn it! There is a cab in one of the ezinput keyboard threads in dev & hacking that allows T9 to always be on (Yes, including the HW keyboard).

You don't happen to have a link to this cab at hand, do you? I for one would like to have the T9 always on (even with the hw keyboard), but did not manage to find the correct thread / cab even after an extensive search.
I searched with no result, unfortunately. If you could be so kind to address me to that cab, I would be very grateful indeed.

DeadKeys / T9 as default behaviour for the Fn+Space combo - Full HW Keyboard phones
I thank you very much. Even if I walk around here for years, sometimes it happens that I am not able to find out things. Fortunately there are others who help
You're very welcome, glad to help.
Thanks for pointing out about the keyboard, did you test it and it works?
why not FN + Space It´s working at my device
Because I would like that when I slide out the keyboard I can immediately type with T9 on, without switching it on manually - this is the meaning of "automatically ON"
okaaaay. sry for that, but just tell me the sense of T9 with a "complete" keyboard!?? Do you also have T9 at your computer at home?

I see a couple of ways T9 is useful with the full keyboard.
1. Words like "won't" can be typed out with w-o-n-t rather than w-o-n-FN-'-t
2. It helps with long words. We can use the arrow keys to choose the word after a couple of letters rather than typing out the rest of the word.
There's a fundamental difference between the keyboard on a mobile device like the Rhodium and your desktop keyboard. On our Rhodium, we have only our 2 thumbs. On a full size desktop/notebook, we make use of all 10 of our fingers.
It seems that we are concentrating on why I have asked to have T9 ON, while I was asking HOW to have it on.
If you don't agree that it is a good thing that somebody finds out how to, simply don't post here
I never used T9 but it supposed to offer words from vocabulary? in my case it doesn't...
well, has someone found a way to make this work on landscape or hardware keyboard ??
having to always activa xt9 is boring ..
(that cab does not work) looking at the registry is changes from 1 to 0 when changing to landscape and it's the htc keyboard doing this. If you activate xt9 and change to the default windows keyboard it works but then you have a small keyboard when on portait.
I agree, the same thing happens to me. The easiest solution is to have it rotate to portrait, pull up the XT9 keyboard and then open the screen.
It's a pain, though. Would love another solution.
Dead key
None of CABs which can be found here are not working the way that if I will press Fn+Sym it acts as deadkey - always T9 dialog is shown. Have anybody idea how to change it?

[Q] Hardware Keyboard layout

How can i change my keyboard language from english to greek . I go to menu , settings , language and keyboard , touch input , settings and the default language is only english and nothing else .I want to put there the greek language so i could write with greek with my hardware keyboard . Thank you
Sorry if this is a silly question, but does your phone have an English hardware keyboard, or a Greek one ?
My phone have an English hardware keyboard but it has an option to choose in settings for other languages to the harware keyboard and the only option in english too choose If i have other option in the greek language i choose the other language like aekmap in windows mobile
I see there's an option to select Greek for the on-screen keyboard. But as you say it only shows English for the hardware keyboard.
So you want to re-map the keys ? I'm sure there must be others with a similar requirement.
Yes i want to remap the keys Maybe with a programme maybe with root because the same phone is celling to Greece too but the HTC here did not help me !!!
I've done a quick search on google for "G1 keyboard layout" and found that those guys could edit a .bin file in /system/usr/keychars/ with hex edit and it wasn't too difficult.
How different can it be?
Dont want to hijack the thread but i had a slightly different idea.
I dont much use the Right FN, Shift and custom keys and search.
What about a script to make these Cursor Keys like the one that works on the optical pad? I saw a script to make the Optical pad pressing Wakeup the screen. I think this could be done too. I miss cursor keys that can be pressed constantly to scroll, not just with the optical pad.
Here's a thread from the G2 forums about key mapping, it might help point you in the right direction ?

[Q] Android 3.2 English International keyboard (with accents)

Hi there, it's my first post...
I've used to have on default android keyboard the International English Keyboard enabled, but after a factory reset on my A500 I can't type accents anymore...
I take a look on: Settings/configure input methods/Android keyboard
And the only "Active input methods" are: English (US) Keyboard, English Voice
I don't have a International English Keyboard...
Before the reset accents worked fine, I just needed to long press a vowel key and a menu shows on text editor. But now this ain't working anymore.
Besides that, another different behaviour: before the reset the keyboard was very much like a real one (a hardware one) when I hold shift key I could press another key and that other was typed on upcase. Now it don't work too.
I asked this also on android enthusiasts (stack xchange).. lets see maybe somebody know whats happening...
Somebody knows how back it the way it was before?
