Annoying thing with my keyboard...

When I slide the keyboard out and pressing the blue dot to access the special character. When, for example, I want to press ! (s), it came out as @.
So I had to press ~(a) key and it will come out as ! It's as of the keys are one letter further. I checked the keyboard settings and it's set to English (UK) - what is causing this problem?
Thanks.
*bumpy bump*
Guess no one knows?
I'm guessing you want American settings, right? you have to change some keyboard reg value (sorry, dont know what it is) to 0409 for the american english. I think if you use Registry Wizard, that will make finding the value a lot easier.
Nope, to UK English.
I think I have Registry Wizard, will take a peek. Do you know the code for UK English?
Cheers
Right, got the registry wizard loaded up and it says thta it was set to English (UK) so it should be correct. Saved it, rebooted the phone, still the same issue.
I thought hmm, let try English (US), saved it and rebooted. Then tried again and it's all correct now.
Weird... does this seems to be right to you? or it's a bug with Registry Wizard?

Language change

hello
I've installed Android and the languages available are chinese and english, but with that I don't have problems.
the problem is when I write an email or sms that I dont have the portuguese dictionary
do you know how to fix this or download the dic?
thanks a lot
deiota
Hey! Me to! Where can we get the Portuguese dictionary?
Somebody?
if i hold my google voice button on my keyboard a settings thingy pops up if i go to that i can manage all kind of text message settings like auto correct and input language
if you don't have google voice installed you might just want to hold all your keyboard key one by one and see if there a settings thingy show up

[Q] What mean "EN" Sign on taskbar?

Take a look for a picture:
I allready read manual, but there are no answer for that question:
What mean the EN Sign?
Moto MB511 GSM, No data connection.
I'd say it stands for english? probably for the keyboard setting since I see you're from poland.
I bought my phone in Taiwan, so depending on my keyboard setting I have either "Abc" or "中" at the same place in the notification bar.
Although this only appears when I'm typing something...
I know the answer - this sign shows which language keyboard are chosen - in my phone "untick" greek keyboard in typing methods solves "problem"
thx, anyway
Sorry to necro this thread but I have a related question.
I have the Greek and Android keyboards switched off (I hate the touchscreen keyboard) but they occasionally switch themselves back on. I wouldn't mind so much but the extra icon in the status bar annoys me and it sometimes decides that my texts would look better in Greek and changes my hardware keyboard into Greek too.
It only became an issue after I installed the debranded firmware; it's CEE so I know why this is happening, but it's starting to really piss me off.
Any ideas?
Phone is rooted but I'm a Droid-noob, so talk slowly.

[Q] General questions

Hello, i have a few general questions, probably about android itselft:
1. is there a way to change blue color of battery and everything else that goes blue to pink/magenta?
2. How can i make "home screen" to rotate to landscape mode?
3. How can i have czech qwerty keyboard or US keyboard with suggestions in czech language?
4. Is it possible to have multiple speech inputs? Czech and english and switch between them? So i can search play store for real racing ie.
5. Is there a way to stop wifi networks from jumping in list? When i go to pub and want to connect to its wifi in keeps switching positions with other networks and it is quite annoying a uncomfortable for me.
1-2 - > i dont think you can do this on stock rom... You'll have to root and find a custom rom that support this

1 - Cannot be done on stock rom.
2 - The only way to do this on stock is to either use : UltimateRotation
Or
Use a Launcher like ApexLaunher or NovaLauncher
3 - I would get an App called : SwiftKey - You can have multiple languages at once, and it supports the most languages I have ever seen in a keyboard. (The link is to the free one, there is a paid version)
4 - Again the multiple speach can be done in SwiftKey, including dictator multiple speach along with the multi-language keyboards.
5 - Not a clue
Hope this helps.
1 is about the theme, I would be surprised you can't do this on the stock ROM once rooted but you have to find where this setting is (or in a config file, or in an apk, something like that). And gooood luck for this, probably that a themer would know.
For the language things, maybe you could create your combination in the advanced settings -> personalized style? Not sure your language is there though... If not, I was using ICS keyboard from the market that supports many languages and there is now a JB version, maybe worth a try.
About the WiFi, you can enter the network's infos manually by clicking on the + in the WiFi config. Not exactly the answer you wanted but a workaround...
My two cents that will hopefully be helpful.
Sent from my Nexus 7 still stock but not for long!
Pretty much everything been answered. I would really vouch for SwiftKey as well, I'm using it for dual languages as well and it picks them up nicely without having to even press a button to switch them like with swype for instance. But I guess if you want a different keyboard for Czech you'd have to switch that tho.
Regarding the wifi, I do believe that once you've remembered a network it will stay at the top...
Is there some way to send suggestion about keyboard to google? I would like to use OOB keyboard. And many people in CZ are used to qwerty.
EDIT: found it in language and input > advanced settings > custom input styles - so probably what johnride meant
Also you cen heve two voice inputs by default - just clik on language when using voice input. Tough i found out my english is really crap for voice recognition.
Still i would like to send suggestions to google about the wifi list, as hitting the right network is not so easy when it is changing under you fingers constantly
Yeah that's what I meant... I am on a french system and I translated wrong sorry!

Words underlines in red since update to lollipop

Since I updated to lollipop, every word I type that isn't typed in English is underlined in red. This is really annoying since I usually type in Dutch. My phone language is English though. Is there an easy solution for this problem? Can I switch this feature off in some way?
Same problem

Hey, I registered just to give you an answer. I have the same exact problem, only I don't type usually in Dutch but in Serbian. My phone language is also English. I'm on Lollipop, I9505.
I found out a way to stop this spell check, and it's only possible, as it seems to me, to change your phone language. I've changed it from English to Serbian, even though I don't like it that way, and underlining has stopped. I thought that it would start to underline English typed words, but it didn't. So, if you consider that an easy and acceptable solution, there you go. I'm still looking for a way to use my phone in English and type in Serbian without that red underlining, just like I used to do before on KitKat. It doesn't make sense to have to change phone language when this is a problem that is related to keyboard settings. If someone knows how to fix this without changing phone language I'd love to know a way to do that.
Hi!
I have the very same problem as I speak with my friends in 4 different languages. After a lot of search I found the solution to completely disable the red underlining: selecting "Alphabet" (QUERTY) as your keyboard language, as I describe below:
1 Download the "Google Keyboard" app from the google Play
2 Go to keyboard settings - in lollypop it is under Settings > My device > Language and Input
3 Enter into "Google Keyboard" to show the google keyboard settings, and then go into "Languages"
4 Disable "Use system language" and ONLY enable "Alphabet (QUERTY)" from the list of languages (you will probably find it between Afrikaans and Arabic)
5 Go back again to Settings > My device > Language and Input, enter "Default" and select "Alphabet (QWERTY)" as default
Voilà!

Hey, thanks! That is a fine solution, but only if I wish to use Google keyboard without predictive text and auto replace options since they are gone when selecting "Alphabet (QWERTY)".
I'm quite used to Samsung keyboard and I like having text prediction and auto replace, so I'm still looking for a solution in terms of switching off that annoying spell check but with using Samsung keyboard. :fingers-crossed:
If anyone's still looking for a fix, there's a way - just do the factory reset and the red underlining will be gone. I just did.
