I love my x7500, except this hardware keyboard that is poorly designed and not very functional. But there is the way to use this device and type very fast with built in software keyboard! Just go to the Options for keyboard and change size to Large. Now keys are accessible without using a stylus! I am very happy now.

even the hardware keyboard isn't that good compare to Universal, i still find it quicker compare to the soft keyboard.
Does anybody know anything technical about the KB? It should be possible to make our own keyboards for the Athena if we can just find out a little about it.
Imagine a small clip on adaptor that sticks to the bottom and has a PS2 socket on it
I've considered making a magnetic ribbon cable for "detached" use. Where you hold the keyboard in your hand and it's connected to the Athena via a magnetic cable that attached to the two components. Not sure if this would be worth anything to anyone out there but it should be VERY easy to make.
I also wondered if there was support for a docking station like use, with charger and keyboard plugged in, so you pop the athena into it and it charges as well as connects the KB.
You dont suppose the kb is actualy just USB do you?
I think some kind of slide down qwerty keyboard similar to the hermes / spv m3100 would be great. That way the keyboard could clip on the back of the Ameo and then the keyboard could slide out? if you get me?
The magnetic keyboards great if your at home, or in the office, but out and about its not practical.
I do agree that the software keyboards pretty good with large keys, thats what i use.
Yes, a slide out KB could easily be incorperated into a clip on protective case. In fact, you wouldnt need a new bk. Just mount the existing one into the slide part of the case, where the case would have a ribbon cable to make the connections.
There is a HUGE market for third party KB mods for the Athena, HTC really missed a trick here by not having some alternate kbs ready at launch.
For example, why doesnt the Dock have a KB? or a KB socket? Jeez, its not hard to put a ps2 socket in the dock, or a slot to put the normal Athena KB into it!
How about a large full size KB with Athena connector in it...
have you guys tried go-ten yet? Nothing can match this in terms of accuracy and speed. I've tried Resco, Spb, Hikeyboard, the standard default both big and small, and nothing come even remotely closed to the ease and speed of go-TEN for me. It is unconventional at first glance, but once you see it, you may wonder why was'nt all soft input keyboard so smart, easy, and quick. If you use predictive text in SMS you may get the idea right away.
There is very very small learning curve only. Only six keys most is the times, but you have the option is pressing all 26 characters.Best thing is there is a free version.
Try it, and you won't want the hardware keyboard again.

Have you tried any of the soft keyboard options out there?
TenGo is not as intuitive as it appears, but is smart software.
OK just given the TenGo SIP a good run for it's money tonight. It is a very nice lookin application that has real potential.....BUT....the learning curve is a major drawback IMHO and not worth the time to learn. Why do I say that?
Firstly, I/we use QWERTY keyboards of one type or another every day and wether it's afull sized USB PC keyboard or a slide-out PPC keboard or SIP based, the QWERTY principle really has left an intuitive mark on me at least over the years and learning a new system does not make much sense to me if it is not going to be everywhere....just on my Ameo.
2ndly, I have no time to keep checking if the predictive text has recognised the word I intended for it to type. I mean if you don't check what you're typing regularly, then by the time you've reached the end of your document/txt, you'll struggle to make sense of what you have typed yourself!
3rd and last, I like to use slang terminology and this causes the predictive technology more problems in recognising what I have typed e.g. it will try to guess what slang I have used and effectively translate it to something similar in it's perfect english database.
Verdict? Perfect for those who write perfect english all the time and have the time to learn and train a new system,....BUT useless for those who already know what they want to type and just want it done quickly without spell checking every word as they type. It is very smart software indeed, but not natural or smart enough for the human mind. Gimme a larger SIP panel instead.
Not for me, but thanks for the heads-up.

Ha ha, that was my first reaction too. So I almost passed it up initially without giving it a fair chance.
This are the facts:
1. You have not given up your qwert keyboard. It is still functioning 100% as one. If you choose to press the precise position of each individual 26 keys, what u type on is also one of the words that can b selected. Therefore you can still use slang such as lol, gtg,brb,etc. C how I can intentionally use shortened words on this post?
2. It is to b thought is as a very forgiving qwert keyboard, because of the built-in intelligence. You can type in the exact spelling of your words, not just limited to the words in the dictionary.becausr while it tries to predict what you want to type, what you actually type also appears as one of the choices. Now you see why slang is not a problem?
3. the system is actually very smart in selecting the default hint word out of all the suggested ones. The default choice is the underlined and first hint word. You don't need to do anything in order to select it other than the space bar ( which u hve 2 anyway w normal qwert keyboard) The only difference is u need not be precise in typing. U merely hve 2 touch the correct keygroup. U got it?
I thnk u r really going 2 like it once u go thru the 3 min tutorial. THERE IS ALMOST NO LEARNING CURVE!
JUST WATCH YOUR TYPING SPEED FLIES!
btw, there is a known problem with tengo installation. You may have problem selecting this as the default sip, or even selecting it.
i'll find the thread later and post it here.

Installation problems aside, I agree that one can write a very nifty speeds and that the learning curve can appear to be low. My point was that it is not natural, certainly not to me.
I see your point about being able to use slang, but as it will not be the default word selected, you have to select it yourself each time you use it or teach the database a new word (slang) in order for it to recognise it in the future.
If it works well for you eaglesteve that's great and I wish I was as capable at adapting as you are, but for me and possibly for others, I'm looking for a SIP keyboard that will help to improve/enhance the way I'm already used to typing without feeling unsure if my document/txt is being typed correctly. I know you know what I mean.
However as your experience has taught you, maybe one evenings worth of testing is not enough for me to dismiss it so easily. But then I have kept it installed for further testing alongside my usual SIP methods.
Thanks again for the heads up though.

You don't have to teach the dictionary that the slang is a valid word. when you use it the first time, there will be an audio warning. But if you used it once, it automatically gets into the dictionary, and become just another normal word the next time you type it
Funny it is exactly because I want an SIP keyboard that will help to improve/enhance the way I'm already used to typing without feeling unsure if my document/txt is being typed correctly that I think tengo is the answer.

Hi all,
I'm using the Phone Pad, HTC default, Keyboard to type SMS, Mails, Searches etc, cuz i can't handle the qwertz (german) or the simple qwertz key pads. They suck to type SMS (for me)
All works fine (okay, adding the mouth of the smiley ) or ( is a little complicated but manageable).
But... there is a very unlogical order of the different T9 Words. My old Sony Ericsson ordered the words by how often i used them.
I don't need exactly this feature, but to order the words by my own would be nice.
the only accessible workaround is, that i have to add the words manually (then they exists twice).
Then they are the first words the phone suggests me. but this isn't very nice.
do you know some tips to help me with my problem?
how do you handle the sms typing stuff? do you all bought a extra keyboard app in the market??
kind regards
heady2k
I've started using Swiftkey as it does actually learn the words you type. It works well. I personally found it better the default keyboard and better than the much raved about Swype .
I can't post a link but you can find it on app brain.
is it free?
can u modify the words order?

Yes it is free. It learns the words you use most so you shouldn't need to manually edit the word order. Try it and see if it is better for you.

hmm kay, i installed it, tried it, but you only can choose qwerty/qwertz.
i haven't found a phone-pad layout. :/
I find the button to close together, even the android keyboard. What do yall think of them? What do yall recommend for big fingered dudes? Also, how hard is it to install a new keyboard?
I agree the Android keyboard is 'meh'. While I do wish the Standard keyboard had a larger space bar, otherwise I love it, I like Betterkeyboard with the Glass Orb skin. I know it doesn't affect the actual key size but I find that I'm a lot more accurate with that skin than others. Plus they have the Compact keyboard mode which may help. It was worth cost to me.
The HTC_IME mod is great...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
And IF it still is too small, you can set it to show up as an old-style phone keyboard with the 12 keys, and then it will use t9 spelling for you...
I cant recommend shapewriter highly enough. Once you have used it (or similar, swype for eg) you will not want to go back to the normal "tapping" method.
PM me if you want the apk.
Yeah, HTC touch input is very cool. Smart keyboard pro is also nice, but if your fingers are THAT big, I'd suggest Blindtype

lol shapewriter can be found in the market
been trying a lot of different keypads. Swiftkey is pretty good for the language and predictive options but not much space between the keys like all the others. No matter what keypad i try i still seem to be going back to the htc one.
They really should release it onto the market officially.
I use smart keyboard and just recently gone pro with it .

What about ultra keyboard? I love it, everything is configurable!
I have the same problem that I don't like any of the keyboards out there.
Swype is slow for me - I only speed up if I swipe the same word over and over again, which rarely happens in real life.
T9 and Ultra requires too many corrections and having to double or triple tap to get the exact letter you want is annoying when the prediction doesn't get it right.
Other keyboards the keys are too small especially if you have to type anything a bit unusual. Blindtype would have the same problem though it's not available yet.
Anything else out there?
i have tried a whole dozen before someone here recommend shapewriter, it's really that good, once i got used to it, i don't even want to use 'keyboard' on my phone anymore
Shapewriter 3.0.9 (Non-expiring) : http://www.mediafire.com/?qwffb21f0804twk
Try Swift Key.........i prefer it over Skype and Stock
SlideIT for the best "exotic language support" gets my vote. Has about 18 languages supported - including the Nordics, including different keyboard layouts (so you'll see the national keys, too). Current version (2.x) looks professional enough, too. A nice bonus is the single-key language switcher.
Shapewriter has a nicer key-spacing, so less error-prone, but lacks advance language support feats. If they get the Nordics fixed, it'd be a good choice too.
Swype looks good but seems lag-ridden, at least enough for me not to trounce SlideIT at present (let's see, if Nordic languages come by).
Bottom line: since I found Shapewriter, and later SlideIT, I haven't looked back to the traditional tap-tap-tap-keyboards - no matter how polished, no matter how good their prediction is. Speed, and even a reduced error rate (at times, only!) - two top reasons to start using a sliding keyboard.
Give them a try. A good try. Once you get beyond that initial WT... barrier, writing on your phone will never be the same.
Just tried shapewriter on the evo and I have to second that so far it is better than swype. I just like the fact that is it real easy to add words to the dictionary.
I have now swiftkey, its new and so far it's working well
Sent from my rooted X10i using tapatalk
I had a few problems with the latest update of Swype.. UNTIL... I changed some of the settings (found the problem on there website, can't recall what the changes were now..) but now it's fantastic again.. and the sliding from the swype key to the Sym key to get the navigation keys is just genious..)..
Needless to say, I love it.. it is the proverbial dogs cogs.

homie I REALLY appreciate the fact that you took the time to hook up up with some seriously detailed knowledge; your post is far more useful than the "I like ____ more than ___."

Time for a new keyboard [again]!
Well the topic name says it all actually. Here in The Netherlands we mostly use a US International keyboard lay-out. The difference between the normal US keyboard are some special characters like the Euro sign that can be easily used with Left CTRL + Left ALT + 5 or Right ALT (ALT GR) + 5 to give an example. For full details on the differences google US international keyboard However, in windows the keyboard is software coded. So you can select different lay-outs by software. Is this also possible in Android 3.0/3.1? If so, can it be set to default? Helps me decide to buy one in the US or not (Transformer still not available here and I want the dock so bad!!)
Thanks!
No clue. I just got my tablet today. Have not been able to order a dock.
Anybody else knows who does have one
Interested as well. Hopefully I get my Transformer on thursday (from the US, if it was in stock locally), and if I'm lucky also the dock!
Would be sweet if it would be software
Anyway, will keep an eye on this thread. Otherwise if nobody answers I'll do so on thursday night after my exams!

I know the key layout configuration file is available in the system folder, I think it's called asusec.kl under system/usr/keylayout. You can see if you can change that to get the result.

Good decision, everything is just so damn expensive here
So there is no built in option in Android to change it?
Just asked Asus Benelux about this. They say the keyboard in the US is the same (also in lay-out) as the one that will be available here in The Netherlands. Can someone confirm they can produce the € sign (LEFT CTRL + LEFT ALT + 5), that would mean it is US international If so, where can I buy one online in the US that ship to The Netherlands?
Thanks!!
Anyone, please?
I'm based in the Netherlands and purchased the transformer with dock from the UK. I have just flashed the latest 3.1 which is a US image.
I can confirm that the keyboard setting is software based (shift + ctrl) and that the € comes from right alt gr /Alt and 4
€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€
oh, and Amazon.co.uk will deliver to NL from free!!
Is the UK keyboard itself this lay-out:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ational.svg/800px-KB_US-International.svg.png
Or this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...d_Kingdom.svg/800px-KB_United_Kingdom.svg.png
?
And shouldn't it be CTRL + ALT + 5 or ALT GR + 5 instead of 4 ?
Bedankt!
it's
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ingdom.svg.png
and is definitely 4! To select which keyboard mapping you want, you click left shift + left crtl.
Your question was about US keyboards, but basically mapping is software selectable.
no us international layout

Bought one too and works perfect here in The Netherlands. Be sure your Transformer is configured on your native language, you use the Asus soft keyboard and you can switch between lay-outs with CTRL + SHIFT.
If you go into settings -> language options, you can select which keyboard languages you want to use. I switch between and english and spanish keyboard all the time, just using ctrl+shift.
It's software coded. I'm pretty sure of that.
I've got a french layout dock (AZERTY) on my tf101
and when i switch to android keyboard on the pad instead of asus keyboard, my dock behaves like a QWERTY.
A prints Q, Z prints W ............ meaning it s not hardcoded.
when i switch back to asus keyboard, it goes back to normal
Meaning that :
1/ it s soft coded.
2/ The coding is in the "asus keyboard" module and not in the kernel or in a android driver, meaning that you need to have the native asus kb installed and in use for the dock to respect its layout.
Hope they ll soon include a separate driver because i do prefer android keyboard over asus one.

Hi everyone
I own a Note 3, SCL22, Japanese version from KDDI AU (I believe model SM-N900J - on the main site it goes as SM-N900JZKEKDI). As you know, there is that s pen writing feature which allows you to hand write pretty much anywhere in the phone by hovering over the typing field and clicking a little button there (called direct pen input in the settings). It supports 4 languages, English (UK/US), Japanese and Korean, and I was wondering if there is a way to get more? Apparently, it can't be done from the settings, nor does it seem to be available in the Samsung app shop. Is it possible to add more languages to it, either rooted or not? Preferably not, because my model hasn't been rooted yet, and God knows when it will be.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I have read that before. It seems on some devices this is how it is done. On mine, there is no option for that. I can choose one of the four pre-installed languages, but can't add any... It seems I have the answer to my question. Another inexplicable restriction of Japanese carriers.:crying: Well, maybe there is something else out there and it is too early to get desperate..?
Currently, there is no way to add more languages to the engine, which is MyScript Stylus-based application.
However, you can download the MyScript Stylus app from Google Play Store as an separated IME. With this app, you can write many languages. Please turn off Direct pen input before use.
I'm trying to modified other rom WritingBuddyService.apk (which is direct pen input apk) but bcoz I don't have root, I can't intall it as an normal apk.
