Scandinavian characters (ö,ä)?

How can I map scandinavian characters (ä, ö) to my hardware keyboard and how to get them into the on-screen digital keyboard as well?

I use Resco Keyboard Pro (Screen Keyboard, I don't know if it works on the hardware keyboard as I have an Alpine, you can set a secondary the keyboard language, and just press a key on keyboard and you can swap to a Norweigan keyboard, I know cause I have a sister in Norway.
Download demo from here to try out.

So it can also remap the hardware keyboard?

No, you allready have it. Pres 'a' or 'o' button, then doublepres dot button. After that pres space for as manu times than 'a' becomes 'ä'. Enjoy!

Is there not a faster way? Like a registry hack that would give "ä" when pressing "a" twice very fast? I think that would be a lot faster method - doubleclicking "a" rapidly to get "ä".
Could this be done with a registry editor?

Hej! How do you make this characters with Swedish ROM? I don't have it here, so can't say. Do you know?
The other way is to install Aekmap and remap buttons according to the way you want them to (ae.inc.ru)

I don't have a Finnish version of the Wizard so I can't download these (wrong IMEI). Could you please email the Sym-patch.exe to [email protected]
Thanks!

I tried Aekmap but I just couldn't customize it. The menu was hard to use, is there a help file somewhere?
PS. Also, I can't see any scandinavian letters on the Full Screen Keyboard.
I don't know why everything has to be so hard with these Win CE devices, I never had problems finding easy to use programs for my Palm devices...

I use SPB Keyboard Pro, you can set a secondary the keyboard language, and just press a key on keyboard and you have your characters, I know cause I have a sister in Norway. In fact I use a lot of their software, which has improved the WM2003 no end.

Well, in order to make it work you have to read an AEC FORMAT section at Aekmap page.
You may contact me via ICQ or by PM and I will explain you in details if the web-site doesn't give you a clue.

No tweaking needed.
Have a nice day!

Hi, resurrecting an old thread... I just got a new HTC Wizard and I can't get the softkeyboard from http://www.epocket.no/tastatur/ to work.
I installed it, and it shows up on the Remove Programs menu but I can't use it... I mean; I can't find the program anywhere and the softkeyboard looks the same as before.

Keyboard layout and T9 function

Hi all, just got the diamond last week, damn its nice, just the battery life sucks.
I used to own a UK T-Mobile Mda 3, loved the calender as i change shifts a lot, was looking to replace it a few months back heard tell of the diamond so decided to wait.......however...
The sms full keyboard on my old MDA3 used to allow predictive words (t9 i think) but the diamond does not seem to, I like the keyboard layout over the qwerty or comapct qwerty as they both take up too much for the screen for my taste.
The t9 does not seem to work in the keybaord layout, i think i have all the settings correct, as it works in the other 2 setups but not keybaord.
also, is there a website that lists all the compatible 6.1 programs? not sure what i want, but more like teeter would be nice, or even a different sms prog that allows predictive text!!
Cheers
Lepak

The same for me. T9 works only using qwerty layout. If you use keyboard layout predictive text doesn't work. Someone has an idea ? My rom is 1.37 from HTC official italian.
Thanks in advance

Found it ! Thanks to newtonmj in modaco forum
You must chaange the registry key XT9SupportMSSip in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\ from '0' to '1'.
This allows the predictive text to work correctly in standard keyboard too.
I don't know if this mod can "damage" other settings but I don't think. It allows the predictive input to work using microsoft standard keyboard. In my device now works !

Very nice. I think I'll try it. But I wanted that worked correctly standard keyboard without adding third part software. What is standard in my device MUST work correctly. Then perhaps I'll not use it, but this is another thing
I'm paranoic. But I can't accept that a phone worth about 500€ does't go in the appropriate way......

Fitaly 5 or Touchpal 3.5 for Diamond?

Which do you think is the better text input keyboard?
Thanks,
Jon

Diamond original keyboard

Oh yeah? Have you ever tried TouchPal? The input speed you can reach with it, is really amazing and the buttons are MUCH larger than the HTC full qwerty's.

Keyboard
touchpal 3.5 for sure.....does the supplied keyboard save passwords? or does it do multilanguages? Can you resize it? I really dont know, ive used touchpal 3.5 for a while. I love it.

yup Touch pal is bar far the best, i use it on full qwerty with my chunky electricians fingers and it works fine

Anyone use Touchpal with Gsen so you have landscape mode for the keyboard? Find that easier to type on?

Was a stupid joke
You have a link or something else?

Just started using TouchPal. Its excellent for me.
I would also like to use it in landscape mode, but its not so good. Anyone looked into this?
Thanks

I just compared the two and the TouchPal buttons are way smaller than the Diamond's built in SIP.

Question about T9 and the Xperia keyboard

For a week I am a lucky owner of the Xperia X1. And it is everything I thought it would be!
But I have a question about the T9 function.
The Touch Pro suggest words (and has a T9 function also?) when entering text with the keyboard, is that also possible with the Xperia?

To a certain extent, it can suggest up to 4 words (or possibly more if you edit the registry) and that's enabled via the Options menu for the keyboard SIP. Personally I feel the Xperia's implementation of the autocomplete and especially autocorrect isn't nearly as robust as the Touch Pro, but something's better than nothing.

You can still install the Touch Pro On-Screen keyboard and T9 if you don't like the X1 default T9.

But does that improve the autocorrect/autocomplete functionality for the hardware keyboard? I read somewhere that installing that will actually disable whatever autocorrect/autocomplete feature that's currently on the Xperia.

no it'll break the autocomplete function when using hardware keyboard.

the only thing i dont like about my X1 is the difficulty in SMS text messaging
is the on screen keyboard you guys are referring to the same as the on screen touch panel when you go to dial a phone number?
the same as 'traditional' phone keyboards?
if so, where can i download this function at?
many thanks
Ross

Yea, but why use a software touch keyboard when u got a nice hardware keyboard to work around with?
I find the hardware keyboard much more of us. And one of the reasons I (we?) brought the Xperia because of his hardware keyboard.

i do like the hard keyboard, but the thing i loved about my older SE phones was i could use the T9 predictive text, and text very fast and effortlessly using the predictive testing and the traditional keys, where as with this, sending a SMS is quite an effort!
so is there an on screen keypad the same as when you press the receiver button and see the keypad?

LOL... I spent ages trying to find the perfect soft keyboard for my device after losing the ability to use my favourite (PPCLink HiKeyboard) because of screen incompatibility. THEN it dawned on me! I actually have a hardware keyboard, I just forget it's there sometimes DOH!

Did anyone find this yet?
I saw something about being able to access a t9 phonepad when using the chinese keyboard but it wouldn't work on my x10 and I loathe the qwerty boards on this phone.

Default onscreen keypad

I'm starting to get a little bored of how bad the onscreen keypads are on the Kaiser. Is it possible to use the keypads from some of the later HTC models such as the Diamond, Touch HD or Touch Pro?

Resco Keyboard. Ive used it for months and it doesnt get boring!!!
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/default.asp

I've tried a few and the nicest I've found is actually the Diamond one which you can get here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392197
Careful though. It looks like it doesn't uninstall well...

A very nice freeware keyboard is pocketCM Keyboard which is also skinable:
http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php

Whichever you choose, you'll probably want an use the app attached to stop your phone going back to the default keyboard every time you soft-reset

SPB Keyboard.
a nice qwerty and full screen keyboard.
but no phone pad like layout.

I have TouchResponse installed, so the device vibrates every time you touch the screen (Haptic feedback).
Personally I have used Resco Keyboard which is great, but now I have SPB Keyboard which is by far the best and it has many skins available. It can also click if you want.
