Okay, I've a new V1615 as well as my MDA III. In the MDA I can reassign soft keys from Start, Settings, Personal and there is a "soft key" icon allowing me to change the assigned software. I can't find this on the V1615, nor in the manual or using the device search or using the forum search. Is it a registry setting? Can anyone help please.
Anyone? Someone must have come across this before?
Any ideas?
Found the answer at http://www.4winmobile.com, by the site Mod Boz. Kudos and thanks to him for sharing his freeware .CAB

Anyone know how to switch the keyboard configuration? This is very much the same problem as many TyTN users experienced when installing an operator ROM: my keyboard has symbols in the wrong place (e.g. ! and @ are reversed - I have an @ over the Q and a ! over the W).
The instructions posted in the Hermes wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Problems) and in various threads (like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283881) don't work, as the registry key ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]) doesn't exist. Maybe this is because it was written to help Cingular 8525 customers install HTC ROMs, which is the opposite thing I want to do. In fact I can't find the string "qwerty" in the registry at all. Creating the OEM\Qwerty key and populating the suggested value doesn't work.
Anyway if someone knows how to get the HTC symbol mapping back please let me know. Alternatively if anyone has the release version of the HTC Kaiser ROM, that would probably do the trick for me too.

I assume you've already tried this ROM?
Here is the cab fix for the 8525 keyboard being messed up. I'm attaching it below.. but I don't know if it just uses the same registry fix.
If the above Image isn't the latest release for the kaiser I wouldn't worry too much as people are starting to get the HTC RTM kaiser right now and I'm sure the official rom will be posted soon.
I've tried 'em all. Because they're AT&T ROMs they all have the AT&T Mappping. Why do carriers have to change the mappings of their keyboards at all?
thanks anyway.
I'm sure you've already found this solution...but was trying to find it myself and had to deduce it from reading how the forum people were able to do the reverse (assign AT&T layout to non-AT&T ROM).
Try this:
delete the registry key HKLM/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/CWSLayout
Note that this works for correcting the keyboard layout problem when flashing a Rogers ROM on the HTC-branded kaiser

I think you ment THIS post
Still Nada here for this guy.
Tried,
Keyboard Fix WMXL 8525.cab
WM VI 8525 Keyboard Patch.CAB
Ive looked in my registry for the CWSLayout
Tried the reg edit for the qwerty key and the suggested edits were the values I already have.
Nada...
Ive got a Rogers Tytn that Ive upgraded using a ATT 8525rom
everything works great, other than the 8 symbol keys.
Any more suggestions?

Read the Kaiser Wiki -> Hacks and Tweaks -> Software section.
As I've not used any other WM6 os device, I'm not too sure whether it's the Kaiser/Vario III etc...but when in the programs menu (start>programs) all of them seem to be in a random order, instead of alphabetical.
Is there any way to sort this out?
Regards,
So far i know it´s only on Vario III, and there is a registry tweak:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Shell/StartMenu and delete the key "Order".
Softreset and everthing is fine!

Sorry to all... I dont want seem a n000000b, but I'm not be able to find a fully functionally HTC Keyboard and Keypad for the kaiser.
I have tried some cab downloaded from the developing section, but after the installation and after setuped the italian language, I'm not be able to press anything buttons. I tap with but the button doesnt respond.
Is there anyone that can help me with a link to download the exact version of HTC keyboard and keypad for the Kaiser? I have mistaken some configuration?
thanks and sorry (I have tried to find some information with the search... but I have read many many thread without success).
bye

Have you tried Dutty's??
http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/cms/
I have found many usefull cab's there.
I just flashed my Tytn II with a new rom and some of my keys are now wrong i.e. press fn Q and get ! instead of @. I've searched and cannot find a fix for this. I tried putting on Alex's keyboard fix and it didn't work. Does anyone know where I can find the file that has to be edited to the right characters or a cab that will do it for me. Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been searching for 2 hours and can't find anything. Thanks
Use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool to change Keyboard Layout parameter.
Thanks, but I tried that too and it doesn't work. Is there not a txt file or something which I can edit?
I created a virtual keymapping for the difference between the HTC Herald & T-mobile Wing. Maybe this will work for you because it sounds just like the problem we had over in the Herald forum....
So try this :
KEYBOARD FIX for WING / HERALD & ROM hardware keyboard (keybddr.dll) mismatch
Use the Herald keyboard Fix ... because i think the herald & kaiser have the same keyboard layout.

Thanks for the response... But it didn't work either. I appreciate the help though. Any other manual ways to do this?

OK, I got it working thanks to a great member who had already dealt with this so I copied and pasted from the other thread and here's the answer:
4) The Rogers ROM changes the hardware keyboard layout. The layout is the same as used by the AT&T Tilt and so some of the keys behave differently (for example pressing @ brings up a ! and visa-versa). To fix this problem I needed to delete the registry key HKLM>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>KEYBD>CWSLayout

Hi,
I've recently bought an HTC TyTN II and am having problems with the keyboard. The "alt" keys are not how they are mapped on the keyboard, and I can't get a comma.
I've tried the above methods apart from the Rogers ROM, the link supplied isn't active any longer and googling the rom there are loads to choose from.
Can anybody help me?
Cheers,
Craig

try to install Tilt keyboard fix
I searched and only found one post in the Vogue forums which was not much help so hopefully you diligent peeps can...
I am using HP IIIs ROM w/ the latest HTChome cab. But for some reason anytime I save contacts to the favorites tab and soft reset, they are erased on boot. Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks
anyone know?
This only happens when you install the HTC Cube.
You need to delete a registery key named "QuickDial"
Check some of duttyroy's threads. Or contact him, he knows how to fix it.
Or you could enable cube and insert the contacts through cube. After this contacts are not lost after restart.
that's weird guys b/c I have never installed the cube.....I will just do a hard reset. Thank you for your knowledge guys!
You don't necessarily have to install cube. It is probably included in your ROM especially if you are using a Duttys ROM. So a hard reset will do nothing.
I will try to find another solution for u. In the meantime edit your links through cube.
remove Quickdial from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\MASD]
hope this help.

No QuickDial under that string
I am using SJ's hyperdragon IIIs Lite. There is no cube involved. When I was installing some cabs a while ago, it might have been possible that I accidently selected a cube cab but canceled. I have no cube but I did have that biotouch registry key
Thanks to all you guys. Way too benevolent. Seriously, though, I'm in need of a hard reset. It's no biggie. It would be nice to just know what needs to be done to correct this issue but I don't wanna waste yall's time.
