Dears,
Sorry for creating new thread but I cannot find answer anywhere.
I have bought HTC TyTN II and it is not localized standard version: English.
I use English keyboard everyday but I need Russian as well. I don't like crappy additional utilities and software, I want to install keyboard layout like in Windows XP, standard windows version.
Question is:
See attachment. You can see English keyboard layout with au button marked in red. Is it possible to have Russian letters by pressing this button instead of symbols I don't use?!
Thank you!
I have a similar problem. I can create a Polish letter like "ł" typing "l", "au-button" and "space". Unfortunatelly this is the only Polish letter I can type this way. I also need special symbols with a,e,o,c,s,n but typing any of this letter "au-button" and "space" create an accent or some Spanish symbol. Can this be changed?
Hello,
I am trying to use my (German) Diamond with the old (English) Freedom Mini Bluetooth Keyboard. See http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=725
I could not find any drivers for this keyboard on the net anymore, but pairing does work fine without, basic writing is also possible (only z and y is switched). Though I have major problems with the remaining keyboard layouts, as almost all additional characters (!"§$%& etc.) are not there, where the keyboard layout says. Its always a try and error approach for me.
Does anyone manage to use it in a real "what you see is what you get" mode maybe by changing the language on the diamond or via a driver?
Is there any easy way to change the the keyboard layout (AEKmap might work, but with it I had to remap almost all keys)
Thanks,
Michael
Characters mismatch
I bought an Freedom Universal Keyboard² and have the same problem regarding some keys do not match up with the signs on the keyboard.
I also put an message on their help desk (a week ago), no answer yet.
Unfortunally the choises between the layouts in the driver is very limited.
Hello,
I am really thinking of getting the HTC touch diamond2. I currently have HTC tilt (or tytn II). I use it mostly for messaging. Anyways, my question is: how easy is it to type on the device? Is it as good as an iphone (better or worse)? Can you use your finger tips or do you have to use the stylus? Is there a video I can watch someone typing on it?
Thank you
I have moved from the Touch Pro (with keyboard) like yourself I used it for texts and emails, I thought I would hate the new keyboard but its pretty good, its got heptic feedback on the keys and they are nicely spaced out. Its very responsive to use, the best HTC keyboard I have used and I dont make many mistakes and dont have to use stylus.
new keyboard is great for typing...holding it in two hands a writing with both fingers without any mistake...
That is indeed good news. Can't wait until I get mine. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow. I also type a lot on it and I am hoping that will be a pleasant experience.
Personally I have gone from an AT&T Tilt (Full HW Keyboard) to the TD2 and also thought I would hate the lack of hardware keyboard, but it has really grown on me, and with no problems at all with typing I might stick with the TD2 instead of going onto the TP2. It just works for me, though lack of 3g sucks for me here in the states... lol
I'm thinking of maybe getting the UK version, cause the device is delayed here in Norway.
Question is: Is it difficult to access special symbols (letters) like Æ Ø Å on the UK keyboard?
I've never owned an HTC device so don't know how one normally access them. They are however crucial, and used quite frequently.

This is a very interesting question, I have refrained from UK version till now, waiting for the french version only to get a soft keyboard with french layout (including é, ç, à, ...). I do not care having the OS localized in english (in fact, i would even choose english over french for the OS), but the qwerty layout is a deal breaker.
Is it possible to change the keyboard layout? Or even better, add different keyboard layout and T9 dictionaries so they appear simultaneously in the WinMo entry switcher? I would love to just switch among the different keyboard installed if needed (having a french one and a non-western thai one would be great, adding japanese would be even better )
I ordered mine from Expansys and they told me, after having talked to HTC, that it would be possible to update the device to include different keyboard layouts. I hope this is correct, because I cannot be without Swedish characters. Otherwise, could Fingerkeyboard solve the issue?
Hi!
Originally I got the 20th of April as a dispatch date form KlartSvar (the reseller used by my employer), but as you say the device is delayed. I talked to a representative from Brightpoint this morning regarding the delay, and he said that the new delivery date to resellers is the 5th of May. Hopefully this is correct, I will wait until then before deciding if I have to look around for a WWE edition somewhere.
If someone could give some information about if it's possible to write accent characters on the WWE xT9 keyboards, I would appreciate the feedback.
I guess that cabs for all languages for EzInput2 (topaz HTC keyboards) will eventually be available anyway, when localized devices start hitting resellers in different countries.
Regards,
PK

Are you using the default EzInput? And in landscape mode or portrait? I have a Diamond and had to give up on the Full QWERTY as well as the Compact QWERTY because I hated one-handed typing (and it was too small to type with both hands).
I am currently using SpB Keyboard on my Diamond, with the landscape fullscreen keyboard, and so far that has helped a lot. I can type really fast with two thumbs now.
Special characters are available with the WWE version using the HTC full qwerty keyboard. They aren't visible on the keyboard, but if you press and hold for example the a key a popup character selector appears giving access to
eight different variations of accent including the Æ and Å (I'm typing this on a MAC and don't know how to access these characters on it so can only copy and paste)
You can also used the standard WM keyboard and get at them by pressing the symbol key, but its really only usable with the stylus.
I've got a Diamond, so my question is how is the qwerty keyboard in portrait mode? The reason I ask is because I read a review that said the screen width has not changed between the Diamond and Diamond2. That doesn't seem right. Can anyone comment on both the screen width and typing in portrait mode?
Hi!
Thanks for the feedback! What about the xT9 dictionary then, is it possible to switch to a different languages in the WWE edition? If so, which languages?

Its locked to english, but there may have been an option to select a different language at setup time, to be honest I can't remember and don't want to hard reset to find out. Perhaps someone else will know? If its English only that shouldn't really be a problem, just flash a ROM in your own language when its available.
Got my D2 today. Very happy. But there is no language option as far as the keyboard goes. Have not tried fingerkeyboard yet.
Although i love my phone, sometimes it bugs me when sending messages or emails. I was wondering if there was an application out there that would allow me to either (temporarily) replace / swap arround the full screen keyboard for a standard cellphone looking like keypad (as in where you have to "press" the buttons multiple times for a letter) but would still support the "AT9" feature.
I used the search & found somethin like Finger Keyboard 2 but it does not support my native language dutch. The auther claims that the dutch language uses the same as english layout. However this is only partially true. The phone does come with a qwerty layout, but its the dutch (NETHERLANDS) that use QWERTY on keyboards. I myself am BELGIAN (dutch, totally different country) and we use the AZERTY layout on our keyboards. Although it are minute differences in the layout it still often leaves me searching for letters, symbols.
Can anyone help me ?
You might want to try this and see if it works but i cant say it will 100% but give it a shot.

Hello all,
I have a G1 which, I assume, was originally German as the physical keyboard layout is QWERTZ instead of QWERTY.
I have set my Locale to Ireland and the Z and Y keys work as I would expect them on a QWERTY keyboard (I can ignore the legend on the keys) but my problem is the keys that need ALT pressing, they are mapped to, I assume, the Locale (Ireland) but the legends on the keys are not. So, If I press ALT and E the keyboard legend is the Euyo symbol but I get an underscore. I assume that on UK or Ireland QWERTY keyboards, the legend printed on the key is underscore.
Most of the time this is not a problem but editing documents or using terminal is a real pain!
Is there any way to change the mappings so the symbol I gewt is the same as the legend on the key (without changing my locale to Germany!)
Hope someone can help (by the way I am an Android Newbie having spent many many years on Windows Mobile) so please go easy on me!!!!!
Mike
anyone can help????
I personally have no idea how to do this but I think I can point you to the right people.

PM original posters of either thread and they should be able to help you out.
Also, some alternative input methods on the market have the ability to map keys as well, you may want to look into it although I don't know which ones are good.
Good luck.
