physical keyboard not working with opera - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I have been having an issue with my X1i while I am using Opera.
Whenever I select a text box that I can type in the onscreen keyboard pops up and I am able to type. However I prefer to use the physical keyboard and shortly after typing a few letters the onscreen keyboard vanishes and the text box is unselected so I can't type in it anymore.
I am running opera mobile 9.5 build 1938 and I have got flashlite 3.1 installed and working properly I have tried using various builds of opera but the problem persists.
If anyone has had this problem could you please tell me how you fixed it.
Thanks

Remote Desktop - Keyboard Errors

I have an European version of the Kaiser/TyTnII which I loaded Remote Desktop for WM6. I connect to my VPN using this after entering through SonicWall using Sonic's Pocket GVC. When connected I find that I can't use certain keyboard keys (both screen and thumboard) and others I can only use in Caps mode. Has anyone heard of this issue?
Thanks.
I had a similar problem some time ago. I was pretty clear to me that it had something to do with the keyboard mappings which weren't identical on the Kaiser and my computer(keyboard). I have no idea if there is a better solution out there, but this is how I fixed it:
Solution: Add support for a second keyboard mapping to your OS
Go to 'Control Panel'
Go to 'Regional and Language Options'
Go to the second tab 'languages' and click on 'details'
Choose 'Add'
Add 'English (United States)' and click 'Ok'
Close the opened windows.
In the taksbar you should see now a blue button with 2 letters in it. These letters represent the keyboard mapping you are using. By clicking on it you can change the keyboard layout.
Next time when you connect via Remote Desktop with your Kaiser, use your Kaiser to change the keyboard layout by clicking on the button and altering the keyboard layout. When you're finished, just click on it again and change your keyboard layout back to the original.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, i will give that a try.
VPN to SonicWall ?
I also have a European version of the Kaiser/TyTnII with WM6 Prof and I want to connect to a SonicWall TZ170. I tried Sonicwall's Pocket GVC but I could not install in on wm6 (not supported).
Could you give me more details about how you made the vpn connection the Sonicwall?
Thanks
VPN to SonicWall
I have the same problem with my HTC Touch Diamond (WM 6.1).
I can't find a VPN client. The one I tried only works with Windows CE Pocket PC 2003.
Anyone has found a solution to the problem?
Thanks

edit: nice version thank you sir
edit2: I agree with everything you state in post 3.
ok, this one definitely feels good! quicker, feels more stable with certain websites that weren't as stable with the previous builds, and the animations seems much smoother. I still couldnt get f7 to work properly with youtube websites(kept freezing) But overall it seems of an upgrade!
I'm having the same issue I had with the last version posted and that is Opera will hang at the launch / splash screen and I can not kill the processes either, however I can still use the phone and launch other apps, but the splash screen stays on top. I have to soft reset to get back to normal.

its either the rom your using or its conflicting with another software.
So far this version seems like a definite improvement - the biggest being that I can now use the 'automatic full screen' option without it changing to full screen half way through typing an address on my Kaiser keyboard!
Haven't come across any bugs as yet.
initial testing shows:
- overall speed/feel increase
- addressbar doesn't auto-hide when typing w/ hardkeys in auto-minimize mode
bug: after closing out of opera in landscape mode, left my tilt in left-handed landscape mode. had to go to settings->system->display to bring it back into portrait mode.
Testing on June 29 ryncppr v6, 1.58.25.17 radio, hardspl 3.56
Bug: When using the hardware keyboard to fill in fields on a webpage, the field that is being typed in sometimes looses focus after each letter is selected on the keyboard. If the software keyboard is used, the problem does not occur.
With 8.65, i could copy the opera6 adr file that i have saved on my sd card and paste it into the opera folder to import my bookmarks after flashing, etc. This doesn't seem to work with opera 9. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Build 1184 vs 1409
In Build 1184 when I pressed an internet link in an email Opera 9.5 would load the page not PIE. With build 140p, PIE loads the page and not Opera Mobile. I have looked in the settings etc and can not find a way to make Opera Mobile my "default browser" Is this possible? If so how?
i'm still getting the missing address bar when typing on the kaiser keyboard. im still using wm6. anyone else still has the problem?

I am using the Titan with windows mobile six and am also having this problem with opera mobile 9.5. Anybody with a fixed build?
Yup - my vario III on standard rom does this - I can only type one letter in from the keyboard before the focus is lost. Also it's not running as the default browser and there is no option to set this :-(
Looks lovely though....
Default Browser key:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/: DEFBROWSER/1
Note: the above key is "colon and capital 'D' together" but the board makes it into a grin icon. lol
by default, it should be ":MSPIE", you can change it to the location of OperaL.exe, generally "\windows\operal.exe"
Bug: RSSHub is no longer able to open a link, it gives the error "file http://.... cannot be opened"
Fix: RSSHub seems to be connected to pocket ie. you will need to reset all registry references back to pocket ie and THEN apply the default browser registry hack. ( soft reset after all that )

Registry change worked like a champ. Opera Build 1409 now opens when I select a link in an email. Thanks a Bunch!!! Sorry I can't help with the RSSHub issue.
Dissapearing Address Bar
I am using WM 6.1 (one of Duttys hybrid ROMs) and still ahve the issue with the sddress bar dissapearing before I am finished typing.
I still believe it may be related to Opera not recognizing the pull out (hard) keyboard, or perhaps it is related to the Diamond XT9 keyboard in my ROM....
Any info. appreciated!

Michael

Official Beta 1 Opera Mobile 9.5 build 1706

Sorry peoples, i had to remove the download link after finding this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643
Great! Just installed, but found a bug. When I click on a box for input, ie login, password my keyboard switches to the default keyboard instead of my Diamond keyboard. Anybody else running into this?

Yes. But you can switch back to the Diamond Keyboard. But it does that switch everytime you click on a new form.
Although fortunately, the slide-out keyboard now works without issue. So I use that instead of the Diamond keyboard.
does anyone out there even know if there's a place where you can give feedback as far as the progress and other issues w/ some of the opera 9.5 builds? i've run into quite a few things that they need to fix, but going from build 1184 to this is honestly not an improvement at all (prettier skin...thats it)
there doesn't seem to be a place on their forums where you can just talk about problems w/ the browser like you can on the skyfire forums. i could always submit some of the problems as bugs, but they're not really that...looking for a spot for input.

Having issues with qwerty keyboard

For some reason, whenever I go into Opera Internet browser, as of last night, I can only type 1 letter before it acts like I stopped typing. The touch screen keyboard works fine. I can type SMS with the qwerty keyboard no problem. Only when I go in to Opera does it do this. Any suggestions?
that would be an opera qwerty keyboard issue if the problem is on there
never had the issue myself so if I were you it's try another version of opera

X1 WM6.5 keyboard not functioning in some apps

Great, this forum.
I debranded my X1i from Vodafone and managed to solve all troubles with German keyboard layout, WiFi router, progs configuration etc. Runs smoothly and has only from time to time minor hickups, really good.
My conf:
Version 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila 2.5.19202525.0
ROM 1.05931.10 GER, 09/09/08
Radio 1.14.25.55
Protocol 52.65.25.34U
My problem:
In some applications (i.e. Opera 9.7 build 35541 or WMWifiRouter-v1.52), the keyboard does not work. The screen switches to landscape when sliding out the keyboard. When entering an entry field (i.e. URL in Opera), the touch screen keyboard is displayed and functional. When typing any key on the physical keyboard, the program leaves the entry field and switches off the screen keyboard - no entry from the physical one can be made.
In other apps (i.e. notepad, adress book etc.) the physical keyboard works fine.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Incompatable with manila opera...and obviuosly the wifirouter application your referring too....You can install another version over top of the original version but you will loose some of the features(push email,favorites in opera)
Regards,
WC
OEM versions of Opera 9.7 have been known to take issue with the X1 hardware keyboard. All versions of 9.7 except for the official beta do this.
It's a hardware mismatch. Use stock Opera 9.7 or alternately use the original Opera 9.5 that came with the Xperia. It should be around here somewhere.
i discovered the right side of my spacebar does not work on un official roms, only the left side, i find that rather funny
after reflashing the stock r3a, my entire spacebar worked fine
