i just got me the officiall German Acer Iconia A500 BT Keyboard (70 Euros!) hoping it would be recognized correctly after updating to 3.1 - but i got disppointed. there is still no support for a german key layout and special characters (ßüöä).
is this a Honeycomb problem or was Acer too lazy? and did anyone here manage to make it work with an app or a workaround?
thanks in advance!

That is the reason, I did not buy any keyboard. I use Android 4.2.1 and still no support for german special characters!
I'm using External Keyboard Helper Pro from play. And it works great.

I'm using the same app, so I can't try, but most QWERTZ keyboards (Logitech, Rapoo, Perixx..) seem to switch layouts when pressing STRG+SPACE. Give it a try and report back.

Hey guys,
I tried installing a virtual keyboard like the one in the htc diamond from here ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392197&highlight=Gullum+Keyboard
But, it seems to be only for qvga. Any suggestions of where I can get one that might work on the xperia?
theres the ez input on x1.modaco.com that works fine
Hello,
ez Input works on my german xperia but i am not able to use now the special character like äöü.
Have anybody a link for a german version with the character and a german version for the T9 ?
thanks in advance
Daniel
same goes for me
On the keyboard is a button options, there you can chose the language.
Take Touchpad it is in my eyes the best one

OK this is a tough one. Anyone know how to get this input on the Iconia?

(Sorry, can't post as a link.)
It looks like it's part of the official XT9 input method. But I only have the keyboard-input options for typing Chinese in my North American Iconia.
I tried several IME apps on the market and they don't work right on the tablet. The writing area is either too small, or the buttons are not where they're supposed to be.
Solved! For now.
Answering my own thread in case others have the same question.
After testing a few more handwriting apps, including Sogou and TouchPal, I found Baidu Input Method for Pad to be the best in providing tablet-aware Traditional Chinese handwriting with continuous word-suggestions.
I too have the 3.1 installed, but don't have the handwriting option. Any idea why? it was stated in the official website that it should be included in the latest XT9 input system. I've also looked at the same youtube, it should just working right out of the OTA 3.1...
hope 3.2 gonna solve this or otherwise it's very frustrating....
Hi,
I just installed Frozn latest ICS rom in my TF101 and have a problem with the keyboard dock. I cant use any special Spanish characters. If I detach the keyboard the onscreen one works fine. I also tried using locale2 but it doesnt work either.
Thanks.
Note. I cant post to development forum yet.
Hi,
I've bought an ASUS Transkeyboard to use with my note 3 because it's much easyer to write texts than with touchscreen keyboard...
The problem is that now my transkeyboard won't give me all the right characters...
I'm from Portugal and I have the need to write those: â ã ê ô õ, and many others that need the use of ^ ~
All those exist on the keyboard I've bought, but they won't work... also the " are'n working
I've tryed this same keyboard with other phones and tablets that use android and all is working 100%.
On the definitions on the phone keyboard I can only choose samsung keyboard, and I bet that's the problem.
Is there any way I can add some stock keyboard to my phone so that I can choose it on the definitions?
My phone is stock, not rooted or anything else... is as came from the store.
Thanks to all

I haven't used the product yet. Is the hardware relying on the software keyboard for the characters used?

Hi,
The only thing I can control is either to connect the bluetooth or not... I don't have any other options that I can change.
This is the second keyboard I try with note 3 and they all do the same... today I've seen this same keyboard to work 100% on 2 different devices (one phone that the seller used and my ASUS TF300 tablet).
That sayed I believe the problem can only be with the software from samsung and with his keyboard.
Before I have this samsung I had an HTC ONEX where I could change between keyboards with different leyouts... maybe the problem here is this...
Don't know if I've answered the question.
Ohh... one more thing... the keyboard on my phone is set to Portuguese language.
I've also tryed to use on definitions other languages and I see that some charaters change from place, but what I need don't work... So I guess the problem is with portuguese language keyboard made from samsung... the solution should be install a new keyboard.
I could only think of a trial run with a diff keyboard like swiftkey. If it's dependent on the Samsung keyboard app then try changing it. Then manipulate Swiftkey settings.

Even when you edit settings for Portuguese keys?
Edit: try External Keyboard Helper search it on Playstore.

Just take a look at this: ã â ê """" ô õ
All was writen with my asus keyboard using External Keyboard Helper
After install many keyboards and Apps this was the only one that worked.
Too bad this is not free app and I'm using the DEMO app that from times to times add the word "DEMO" to the text... not about the cost, but I can't pay it because I don't have any credit card associated to google account.
Anyway... I'll try to solve it.
Thank you!
Any idea how to remap the CTRL key on External Keyboard Helper?
Almost all is working fine, but I can't use the shortcuts as ctrl key won't work.... If I use any other country without remaping than this key works...
