According to cnet (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10074714-1.html) we will be seeing a virtual keypad in the near future. So everybody be patient.
Hahaha, cnet is so slow. That's been on the roadmap for a while.
I really don't care to much for a virtual keyboard, it pretty much defeats the purpose of te keypad on the phone,I never used it on the wing and that's one of the reasons I wanted the g1 More than the iphone because it has a keypad,idk maybe there's benefits to having a virtual keyboard but i just don't see it.
for quick one handed typing.
Exchange support should be first on the list instead of a virtual keyboard.
virtual keyboard is very good!!!Did anybody hear about locallization of the G1? I need Russian letters on android
Can someone tell me how to turn off the autocorrect in the Acer w500 tablet input panel? I need to capture the actual writing.
Thanks!
this forum is only for A500 model, not W500. Please use the appropriate channels.
Yep, sorry, all Android here, W500 controls are gonna be waaay different.
the best answer is ... if you doesn't know do not reply this post instead saying..
hey you are a windows user and we are android user...
Operating System are different so system are different... but of course... nobody know how to use windows7....
- first what input you are using... because if you are using the handwriting, of course neeed to be corrected... and you can't use something like recognizing...draw...
but just see in OPTIONS of tablet PC input, and Text Completion
[show predictive alternates...]
can you be more... specific on your question.
does not belong here but
OK this is from memory so could be a bit off
Go to start /accessories look for input pannel. Open that click on setting there is a tab there to turn on and off features.
You can remove it from control panel. Programs and defaults. Will get in the right area
Next time go to Microsoft.com better step by step
Hello people
I have an Archos 101 which I installed UrukDroid 1.5 on, just two days ago. Since I couldn't find a Romanian keyboard layout for when I use an external keyboard, I'd like to make one. I used Linux as my main OS since 2002, but I've never worked with Android and never used the SDK for development purposes.
I could use a few pointers or ideas as of how to make that keyboard layout, since I need it for writing with special characters like ă, î, ș, ț and â.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys.
Some time ago my laptop broke down. I haven't bought a new one since I'm low on cash so currently I'm borrowing my mates netbook.
I've been about a lot about a Tablet + keyboard solution. My primary objective is to take notes in my school, not writing big assignments (I have a desktop).
Is there any proper office alternatives for Android?
What do you guys think?
I replaced my netbook with this tablet. So I would normally say yes. However, I have yet to find a virtual keyboard that would be fast enough for keeping notes in a class environment. That said, there are plenty of bluetooth and USB keyboards that can work with the tablt and have a small form factor to make carrying it around between classes not a big deal.
Other than the need for fast typing, I would say yes, it definitely can replace a netbook. As for office replacements, it of course can use Google Docs, but there is Quick Office and similar paid-for apps to replace MS Office.
Thanks, that was really helpful!
I'm going to buy the USB folio case that's on ebay.
I'm from Denmark, and we have three extra letters, Æ Ø and Å, obviously these are not in the keyboard, but I recall on the Desire Z keyboard, if the long-press O, a box with Ø will pop.
Can you test also applies in honeycomb + usb keyboard?
If no one else chimes in, I'll test this when I get home. I know there are a LOT of extra/special characters available via long-press of certain virtual keyboard buttons, but I am not familiar with your moon-speak

Though I suppose that one might get it to work with some hacking and libimobiledevice...
Other than that, I am using an A501 (i. e. the 3g version of the A500) and a FreedomPro BT keyboard for university work every day, even doing presentations with it. To prepare slides and documents I use LaTeX running in a debian chroot (try Linux Installer) , though there are some apps that claim to be MS Office - compatible (never tried, I get a lot better results considerably faster with LaTeX).
Can you by any chance change the keyboard layout in honeycomb? Maybe remap the buttons?
If you are rooted, I think you could. I completely forgot to check out the long press and see if your special characters were there. If I go home for lunch, I will check, otherwise, I will check when I get home from my office, in about 7 hours
If you want to run MS office, forget it. If you want to re-calculate a 500mb spreadsheet, it's probably not going to do it.
The Office apps, like Polaris, QuickOffice, Docs to Go, can do simple things, like make changes and stuff. But they lack in understanding the formulas that are sometimes embedded in these documents. This is understandable.
It also does not have the raw processing power for graphics editing, audio and video encoding and conversion.
As an on the go replacement for mail, doc reviewing, and other general things, yes. It's great, and I never leave home without it. I send sms, skype, chat.
Is it a replacement, 75% yes.

Lots of keyboards in the android market, with lots of functions. Most of them for free.

A Netbook can't do any of this stuff either haha. Ok I guess it can run MS Office, but these netbooks aren't really much more powerful than the current tablets.
In terms of the long press on a hardware keyboard. It's likely not going to do it as long press will just repeat the letter you are holding down (I think? I actually haven't tested that on my keybo!)
I'm using the Acer A500 hardware keyboard. It's a BT keyboard and has lots of function keys on it. I'm sure there is a way to get those letters you need to pop up.

I meant remap a physical keyboard.
@All thanks for your answers, still heavily considering it!
As Android maps the physical keys to their corresponding software keys by key code and not by 'letter' (whatever that may be in terms of a keyboard) remapping keys is trivial: just change your software keyboard layout to the one you want, the same way as you would do it with any other computer...
If you are going to be using it to simply take notes and such, I would say yes, it would be a good replacement for a netbook. My tablet is way faster and better than my netbook for most things. As far as the keyboard goes with the special characters, I'm not sure about physical keyboard mapping. THere are a lot of software KBs on the market that allow you to assign special characters/functions to certain buttons. I use Thumb Keyboard and it has that feature, I'm sure there are many others too. All the keyboards I've installed have multi-language support so you're probably safe. I'm assuming that they make USB/BT keyboards for your country so they should work as well.
If you use go launcher, there are a bunch of go keyboards in different languages and I am pretty sure it says danish. I use OfficeSuite Pro 5 which was a free app of the day on amazon a while ago. Definitely if you are getting the keyboard /case combo, you should be able to do a lot.
Hi!
I consider buying the yoga book soon(windows 10), and was wondering if the next softwares are suitable for it:
-Numpy/Anaconda ( writing code in python but pretty basic level)
-subtitle workshop
Besides that, my only usage of it will be writing notes and watxhing netflix.
