Need Help. Weird Keyboard issue - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just noticed this in the last 4 days. My keyboard works fine except now the secondary function(The blue square button at the bottom left) seemed to remap some of the keys by it's self.For example: the comma button is now an 8 for secondary function, the period is a ), the question mark is a 3, the 9 is a (, the : is a *, the m is a &, the L is ^, the K is a %, the J is a $, the O is a #, The I is a @, the U is a !, the Y is a 0, The T is a 9, the R is a 7, the Q is a 1, the @ is a 2. All my primary functions work fine thank god. I have no idea why this is doing this so I thought posting this problem that maybe somebody has experienced this type of issue and could possibly help me out. Do you guys think this is a software issue or a hardware issue?

You are either using a custom ROM with the HTC keyboard or you have installed Ezinput.
So try uninstalling the keyboard, another custom ROM or search for a fix.
Like the one here:

Well I made another discovery the keys that are remapped with different symbols if you hit the corresponding symbol I get that key that's supposed to be their lol. Well I found that tutorial video but the people in that thread had different keyboard problems than mine and that **** looks way to risky to do. So far it's just a couple of numbers and symbols that are remapped no letters or primary functions and I have Nikoan89 WVGA Ezinput 2.1 v2.2 so I can just use that for the symbols and numbers for now.

Diamond Keyboard problem

Hi,
I don't know what I've done, but when I'd like to write some message, or whatever, the original keyboard (full qwerty, or compact qwerty) keyboard starts up with the symbol pad and it's not possible to switch it back to alphanumeric mode. The only way is to invoke keyboard switch menu and select the same keyboard again. then it works as usual. Does anybody have the same problem?
as I said, I don't know, what I've done, or installed, bud I think, I've installed Advanced config 3.0 recently
I have the same problem... I also don't know what is wrong.
I also tried to disabled T9 with some tricks... that's all...
Some suggestions??
Thnx
Since yesterday I also have a problem with my HTC keyboards.
All 3 options, Qwerty, Compact Qwerty and the phonepad only gives me numbers.
I have tried all the settings.
It does not make a diverence if i turn of T9.
On the keyboard i can see the nummbers and the letters.
This is very irritating, can somebody please help?
Or is there an original cab version, al the cabs i can find are Qvga.
I have tried the Touch keyboard and it gives letters in stead of numbers, but its Qvga.
Thanks
Same problem here on the CDMA Diamond, I tried two different ROMs already the Sprint Stock ROM and a Telus Custom Juicy's 2.0 ROM. I can't use it at all and I hate doing a Hard Reset. Someone shed some light on this please.
Same problem here, have tried everything
Well I solved the problem by uninstalling PCM Keyboard... Too bad, I really liked it
Does anybody know if it's possible to run pcm keyboard without having this issue on the diamond?
since day 1 my keyboard did not show predict text ? anyone can help me ?
I had the same problem , it appeared from nowhere ..
After also trying different tricks , i solved the problem using Resco Keyboard
Pro ... It also responds much better to my taste with the touch screen
interface of the diamond.
I have had this problem on the Touch Pro too having used PCM keyboard.
Unistalled it and all back to normal.
Pity.
Same here, alas PCM's copy & paste was cool, but not if I can't use the other keyboards...

How do you use copy & paste with PCM? Which version of PCM keyboard are you using?

Hardware Keyboard - Keymapping is COMPLETELY off...

I own an AT&T Fuze but since I'm not with AT&T and I'm with T-Mobile, I flashed to the HTC 1.90.405.1 ROM. Now don't get me wrong... With few exceptions, this ROM is actually almost exactly what I was looking for.
My main MAJOR problem is that my hardware keyboard mapping is completely off. I can type text but formatting characters such as "-" and "?" and "_" and the Fn and Caps keys and even numbers (0-9) are not mapped correctly and so I can't figure out how to type properly on this keyboard.
My question: Does a cab file exist that fill fix this so that the keyboard will be mapped correctly?
you need to install the fuze keyboard cab. Search for it.

Thank you so much. I'm going to use this until I can get the money together and then I'm just going to change the hardware keyboard keys to the ones from the actual HTC Touch Pro.
Then I will never have to worry about it again.
Thanks again bro.
lol your welcome. I dont know i like having this keyboard layout better than the original touch pro because i noticed that i used the symbols a lot more than i do numbers when i am typing a text or email or notes.

Finnish/Swedish keyboard layout for HTC Touch Pro

Hi.
If you need Finnish or Swedish keyboard layout for your Touch Pro download it here.
Install to device -> soft reset.
- ä = Fn + a
- ö = Fn + o
- å = Fn + p
IMBA! ill try it out now
Thats for t9. It does not help making the Hardware keyboard make åäö.
Im using Nrg Rom and if your nor suplied with the swedish flies this does not work...
t9 works fine thoe. but nothing allse.
The hardware keyboard is a easy regedit to make it swedish,
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\
Change CurLang to 1044 and softreset for swedish hardware keys.
your not lissning. even thoe i do that with the nrg rom you still dint get the åäö to show upp! like i said. in all the software modes when using the screen too klick it works without a problem.
But as soon as a switch over and open upp the hardware keyboard it will not typ åäö. If i do Fn + O for exampleall it does is make a normal o...
no problems for me using the same rom, you did install the touch pro keyboard cab right?

And use this tool to change the layout from a fuze rom keyboardlayout, to a "htc" rom keyboard
Or my newest creation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3512681
Hi there m8. Even with your program it still does not help me. If you open upp my Phne and start using my Hardware keyboard with the nrg rom it wont make Ö when i do FN + O....
I just get a normal o.
So im not doing anything wrong and what it seems is that everyone does not understand that this is not the REGISTRY that is the problem. Or if the keyboard is set to fuzz or HTC keyboard.
It seems as if the Swedish files are not in Nrgs rom so ÅÄÖ wont show no matter what registry fixes you do.
So i think that what is needed is the Swedish files in order for this to work. NOT any registry fixes... Do you understand my problem now?
Cause i used your program. I have tried about 5 diffrent regfiles witch realy does about the same thing
and as i see your program is allso just a reg changer that changes the curlang 2 = 41d
Witch beliave me or not its set 2 and i still only get a o when typing FN + O witch should then become a Ö
what version of the nrg rom are you using?
i have ran 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.0 (1.8) and all of them are fully capable of running the Swedish hardware keyboard.
install the touch pro keyboard cab located in the nrg rom thread softreset, change curlang to 1044, softreset and thats it.
Im not sure what files you are after, i can´t recall that i have ever read about any language files for the hardware keyboard, T9 yes not not hardware keys.
if you are running the 2.x series im am fully willing to flash my rom and try the exact same think since im confident that it will work.
Please answer this question:
Did you or did you not install the touch pro keyboard cab for the nrg rom?
Use 2.0 and used the keyboard changer thats in the rom.
???
Hi.
I have used that cab with almost every EnergyROM version there has been (including betas) and that cab has always worked fine. I also tried one 6.5 version and this cab was not working with it - allthough, I did not try very hard...
Things I do:
- change regional settings -> Finnish
- change keyboard layout to Touch Pro
- install the cab
- soft reset
=> now it should work...
@6sto
Tried to do exactly what you wrote, but without success.
I am using EnergyROM Series 2.0 Build 32409
Ouch
Sorry to hear that it didn't work. I apologize but I can't help you any more with this. I hope we have much better helpers here in XDA-developers. Can you help with this issue? Everything is working OK with my Touch Pro!

Hey, have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496876
I figured it out.
The danish keyboard layout and norwegian is the same. So if I choose norwegian it works
not sure what to say, just flashed the latest nrg 2.0 as i promised, changed keyboard with the provided tool, power cycled like i was prompted to do, changed curlang to 1044 and softreset, and now i have my Swedish hardware keyboard.
Do you realy have ÅÄÖ visual when typing FN + o on the hardware keyboarD? i failt do think you do that. on t9 yeh. but not on the hardware keyboard.
And with Nrg rom 2.0 i changed to nor fin swe dk well all but still when typing fn+o i get = o.
And used the keyboard program so its Htc keyboard and not fuzz. Nothing will do it it seems.

Yes, i dont use T9 at all, only hardware keyboard.
Please write in detail what you are doing after you hardreset your device.
follow the steps like both i and others have written in this thread, dont skip any steps and it will work for you.

you do change the regkey to 1044 in decimal value and softreset after you change the keyboard layout to touch pro right?
in the 2.0 all you need to do is change to touch pro keyboard and then change curlang to 1044 decimal value and softreset, that is it.
im not sure how to help you, i even flashed the 2.0 to test it for you, no problems at all, i honestly suggest you start looking at what you are or are not doing compared to the guides.
Follow the guides we wrote for you and it WILL work.
Good luck.
It is acualy as you say. If you direcly after installing the rom do as you say it will work. BUT here comes the tricky part.
What if you want both the hardware keyboard to work. And the t9?
Cause id realy like to have the phone as it is in the swedish vertion. Were both are working.
Cause as of now i know how to get either t9 or hardware keyboard working but not both.
Anyone that knows a solution to getting the t9 in swedish when you have hardware working?

Change TP2's keyboard layout to tilt 2????

I installed Energy Leo ROM on my tilt 2 and that thing is absolutely GREAT!!!
I have one problem, i text alot and the ROM i installed was for the TP2 and it has a different keyboard layout so my keys don't match, any one that can help???
tilt2.blownfuze.org/rhodium/Tilt2HWKeyboard.cab
please use the search function next time
Obviously search is the first thing anyone tries.
I have searched for 3 hours for a fix and have found several CABs, none of which have fixed my keyboard layout. This one doesn't work either. The entire top row of my TP2's keyboard is numbers. When I hit the numbers (even after installing any of the above-mentioned CABs), different symbols come up like @_!()'":/.
Anyone have a fix for a new RHOD210 Touch Pro from T-Mobile? I bought it this week and have been looking for days for a fix. Any way of modifying it myself?

That fixes my Home Key going to the Start Menu, but the keyboard is still not laid out right.
Can someone maybe extract the Keyboard Map DLL from the stock Tmobile ROM so we can just replace it? I'm not sure if the needed file is SbdNopAll.dll or what...
Works great in a blink of an eye, thanks alot xredjokerx!!!

[Q] Do any Custom ROMs fix the hardware shift issues

The title says it all really. I'm still running stock, and find it's fine apart from the non-sticky shift key when using browsers. Do any of the Custom ROMs address this issue? I'm assuming that there isn't a fix for the stock ROM.
Cheers,
Steve.

The shift key functions normally on all the 4.2.2 ROMs I have tried. I found Eclipse to be hit and miss just like stock. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
shift key
the default software keyboard will mess with the hardware shift key, try using another one like jelly bean keyboard or hacker's keyboard.

It's all a bit frustrating. The shift key on the hardware keyboard works perfectly with SwiftKey on stock, but for me SwiftKey interferes with the keyboard function too much in other areas (such as automatically putting a space after a comma, which always catches me out, and showing suggestions).
TBH the 4.2.2 ROMS just look a tiny fraction away from being suitable as a daily driver for me - I use the lap dock, and that doesn't seem to be supported, as far as I could see.
If I could get SwiftKey to simply go into a "silent" mode with the hardware keyboard, then I'd be sorted. I don't want correction suggestions, or for it to try and mess with what I've physically typed, but although these suggestions have been made on their forum, it doesn't look like they are working to provide functionality like that - probably because there aren't many devices with a physical keyboard.
All the other keyboards I've tried (Swype, Jelly Bean, various "null" keyboards) all seem to suffer the shift key issue in browsers (the default keyboard seems to be intermittent, in that I've seen it working once or twice, but most of the time it seems to fail).
Cheers,
Steve.
