Guys,
There's something bugging me.
Is it somehow possible to define the keyboard sensitivity, mainly the delay before a key is repeated?
I keep having keys typed several time when using the keyboard and it's bloody irritating...
Help greatly appreciated
Matt
Yes, it is possible. Under settings go into "Buttons" and than to the "Up/Down Control tab. If I'm not mistaken the Delay and repeat rate you define there is goes not just for the up/down buttons but for the whole hardware keyboard as well. HTH.
There is a reg edit. HKCU/Control Panel/Kebd/InitialDelay.
I set mine to 300. Found this today on another thread...
thanks a lot
i'll try that

I had an 8125 and now I have a tilt. In making the switch I have run into a few anooying problems that I am sure someone already solved? I have looked all over the forums so if these are answered, could you please point me in the right direction?
1) The ever popular PTT issue. Took me a while but I got it going. It was interesting that there was an incompatibility between the fix and BatteryStatus. Not sure what THAT was about? But it is working now.
Soooo...How do I get button FIVE to appear on my button maps? Neither the stock button feature in the settings nor AEButton Plus shows button 5, the camera button. It would also be kewl to map the OK button on the side, but I am guessing that is too much to ask? *Blink*
2) I have set the brightness at about the medium level (that was a disappointment because I was able to set it to the lowest on the 8125) but somehow the backlight keeps going dim after a time. I have looked all over the parameters to configure this but I can't find it? How do I keep the display from going dim on me? I have the tilt set to sleep at 1 minute and I do not have the backlight going dim at all, so I don't know what else to do?
3) Now that PTT button is mapped, I did what all of you did, I set it to Voice Command. But of course the push and hold I want the convenience of RECORD like I had on the 8125. I have tried all of the shortcuts and such I could find on this site and everyone of them put the voice recorder on my screen but did NOT initiate the record feature. Is there no way to do this on the tilt? I think I remember something about a parameter? /b or something like that? I tried to find it again but I was unable to.
Thanks for your help, guys...

Hi Welcome
Not sure bout your other two questions, but the backlight is easy
Look in Start/Settings/System/ Backlight
You want the second tab, which is for Battery Power.
There you can set the timeout for it.
PS: If you have already tried this, then sorry for pointing it out, but sometimes the obvious solution is hard to find
AEButton Plus
I am able to remap both the OK button on the side and the Camera button with AEButton PLus.
I do have a slight problem that I am looking for a solution and hope someone knows the answer. When I remapped the OK button on the side, the first press still gives me the start menu no matter what I have it set for. The second press does the function I have programmed for double press. But is there anyway to not have it give me the start menu on the first press? I have it as none in the standard WM6 buttons panel. And I have it as lock phone on AEButtonPlus for both the first press and double press. But it always requires double press to make it happen. Any ideas?

The keys on my slide out keyboard are inconsistent in how hard you have to press and as a result I sometimes get repeat letters. Anybody know of a setting to adjust the repeat rate or just turn it off altogether? I found a registry entry HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\RepeatRate but have not tried adjusting it.
Have you tried the options in Settings>Personal>Buttons>Up/Down Control?
I've used them for the repeat rate and they work for me.
Thanks,
Dave
Hey that works. I thought those settings were just for the Dpad.
Anyone else notice that the keys don't have the same feel? The "h" key has almost no feedback and the space bar is really hard to press.

My F and A button are sometimes a bit hard to handle.
My keys are fine. The Spacebar is wierd though. The left part of it (under the V key) has almost no feedback. The middle side has some kind of double feedback. Only the right part of it (under the B key) is fine.

I spotted virtually the same thing with my space bar too.
Also, the space bar is just a tad too far left for me, nearly catch the '.' key all the time.

THANKS!
This was annoying me for ages! Often the simplest solutions that we overlook!
the next thing thta you have to do is wear in the keys. i remember when i got the deivce was that keys were pretty hard to press. once i wore them in it does really fast
In the dark, the Xperia keyboard looks awesome. But in the light, the keys are hard to see. I have to tilt the device at different angles to read the keycaps. The keys are silver and the backlight makes them disappear in ambient light. Anyone have a hint, like shutting off key backlight when the light sensor registers light? Would be a great idea if they could do it - we only need the backlight for the keyboard when it's nearly dark.
Just go to settings, system, power, backlight and tick auto adjust. This is what i use anyway and it means that the keyboard hardly ever lights up in the day but looks great at night.
Thanks, this makes the keyboard better.
But the screen is now a bit less ambient than I prefer.
Is there no way of killing of that backlight permanently?
Me too...
I´m very interested in a solution too because I´m having the same experiences ! (silverkeys / when lit up hard to see)
I'd like to turn off the backlight of cursor keys. I mean completely. Now they light up if I click the cursor key. Any idea ?
Almost a year passed with no solution!!!
Xda developers come on!!
This works for me
The app ToggleAuto is the best solution I´ve found. It simply turns autobacklight on and of. works for me.
Put a shortcut on your todayscreen for easy access.

a user "why?" from 4pda.ru gave such advice:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SonyEricsson\Illumination]
"QWERTYBRIGHTNESS"="50" . I have not finded this key and havn't ideas how it can be created. If your attempt will be successfull -- pls, post here. P.S. It must to make keyboard backlight adequate, it will not turn off backlight.

yes, that's work but as u said cant turn off the backlight!!
Any help?!
I would like KforTP integrated onto my Fuze keyboard, but only for the shortcut keys on the bottom, while leaving every other key alone. This would most likely involve changing the keyboard input ROM or something. I'm not sure what to do, but if anyone could make a cab adjusting those 4 keys, that would be very helpful so people who don't use the shortcut keys on the bottom don't have to activate/unactivate KforTP every time a game emulator is used. Information would also be helpful too, thanks
I love my Xperia. I installed the haptic feedback for the touch screen (which really helps alot) but to make my Xperia 100% it would be great if someone could tell me what I need to change in the registry to my make each key on my keyboard vibrate when I press it since the keys dont move much when pressed and therefore I always need to check whether what I pressed shows up.
I know there was a registry entry that could be done for the MDA Vario years back but i cant find that thread anymore.
Someone... please let me know how or a small app would be even better. Thanks everyone!

How you do that? I mean to install haptic feedback on xperia?
if you install "fingerboard 2.0" you get haptic feedback. much better keyboard than the standard one too...
Haptic feedback on our xperias keyboard is quite a good idea i look forward to seeing the outcome of this thread
I don't mean to sound negative, as different people have different requirements...
But, the whole point of haptic feedback with on screen keyboards is to create the illusion of a normal hardware keyboard which by default gives feedback when a key is pressed.
Why someone would want haptic feedback on haptic feedback is beyond me.
Haptic keyboard
What I mean is, when using the physical keyboard (the actual keys not the touch screen keyboard) I would like a small vibration with each key pressed. That is clear enough to understand i think

NO Lolz.
This is not haptic. This is vibrating hardware keyboard. Haptic is when the whole phone vibrates if you press the ON-SCREEN keyboard.

Haptic (wrt phone/pda) is just a word for the response given when something is pressed, regardless of what it is. He's perfectly right calling it a haptic keyboard. "Haptic" is not a word that's limited to describing keyboard/touch/stylus responses on a touchscreen (that said a keyboard is haptic by it's very nature, as the keys click, but it's pretty obvois what he's asking for, and while not to everyone's tastes, not the worst idea I've heard in a long time).
Vibrating keyboard
well, instead of writing back and forth about the name, does anyone have an idea how this can be done, the vibrating of the hardware keyboard when each letter is pressed = haptic feedback? THANKS!

Generally, yes. In the borders of his question, no.
The fact is out X1 keyboards they offer very little feedback from the buttons aka not a big CLICK as such.
And sometimes with people having multiple presses of the key problems etc im sure vibration when typing on keyboard feature can help this
you dudes know about a program that can make a click sound when pressing HW button like fingerkeyboard ? that would also be nice
^^ use built-in software, go to sounds and notifications and check hardware buttons (either select soft or loud) in the sounds tab

omggggggg thx
Does anyone have a tip on how to have the hardware keys vibrate when being pressed? Thanks!
Anyone have any suggestons? Amazing how some people are quick to point out proper terminology and write again and again regarding haptic or not haptic but no one is able to come up with a suggestion to the actual question
like some1 allready stated, "finger keyboard" ?
best touchkeyboard imo anyway
