Problems with symbol keys

Hey everyone,
I have a relatively new Tilt and some of my symbol keys do not produce the correct character... For example the "!" is @ and the "@" is !... Is there any way I can reset the keyboard or something to that effect so that my symbol keys produce the correct characters?

As far as I remember this happens when you have a normal english keyboard and flash the device with an ATT rom or vice versa. There is a keyboard fix cab that will fix that problem. Do a search on "keyboard fix".
If you're using non english languages to type, that fix will remove the ability to create special characters with the space + fn key (like ç, á, etc) so be warned.
Tony

Thank you so much, this has been driving me crazy for some time now. The fix works great.

can some one post the link to the fix, i'm having trouble to find these 200+ posts.

Auto Suggestions Pop-Up

I am sorry if this has been answered before, but I can't find the answer anywhere. How can I change the auto suggestions from the one that's in the screenshot to the older pop-up version?

Have you looked under start-->settings-->personal-->input? Once here select the input method you wish to use and customize it all the way. This should inlcude adding your own words to the dictionary/pop up suggestions etc.

I don't know the popup you mean but it sounds to me like it belongs to an older keyboard. You need to install that keyboard, if you can find a VGA version.
Failing that you could try another keyboard like Resco or TouchPal to see how you get on. I think the T9 system in TouchPal is great, a whole other level better than the HTC keyboards.

I was wondering how to get the word suggestions to the one in this screenshot.

Ths thread explains it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445959
short version: disable T9 and use a different keyboard...

You can't use that one with HTC's keyboards. That belongs to Microsofts' built-in SIP's. I find HTC's much better and quicker to use. If you've only just changed from the 'old' word suggestions from Microsoft, maybe you need a bit more time to get used to them. Other than that, you'll have to use Microsoft SIP's instead of HTC's.
I'm sure if there was a way to resolve your issue, some wiz-kid here would have already done it

I forgot to mention this, but I am not use HTC keyboards. I am using PocketCM Keyboard v0.20.

I figured it out thanks to Steve in this form post #21: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425405
Here is the suggestion which works!
found this in another thread
changes for auto complete
IMPORTANT: previously be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0.
Simply change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409
Ime File : \windows\xt9ime.dll change to Ime File :\windows\compime.dll
and
Layout Text : XT9 IME change to Layout Text : COMP IME
And soft reset.
suggest words in a drop down list as in WM6

Now, the list of languages is shortened to just two making selection a bit easier. I suppose you could even edit the file and change the order of the languages so the ones that interest you are at the top.

Great idea.
Did both, deleted all languages I don't speak and changed the order so Dutch and English UK are at the top. I switch a lot between those so this is just a bit faster now.
Thanks!

Works perfectly on JM2. Danish and EnglishUS ftw

There is an easier way. Draw your finger from the SYM button to ";/EL" button and you get an instant switch of the active language to the English and vice versa.

This doesn't work at all with JP3, have they moved that data somewhere else?

How smart are you?

Nobody seems to be able to answer this:
What controls the "special" letters in the STOCK SAMSUNG keyboard? i.e. æåø or other characters that most countries have in their alphabet.
I wonder about this because i have tried just transfering the same keyboard to different roms. On the stock js5 i get the characters, but not on other custom roms, so there must been some other files that control this.
Remember, before u answer this... i said stock samsung keyboard, and not any other keyboard that might have the characters
Peace

i dun have an answer but .. i think those rom/kernel makers in the development forum are more likely to be able to answer this ....

guess i am smart ;P got it

Not that I am smart, just interested: what was the answer?

It's simple.
There are particular letters that have a '...' after then. For example, if you press down A, then the popup is 'A...' and a long press opens out all the options.
But not all keys have alternate symbols. Only The top line, ie, qwertyuiop, and A,S,C,N and a few others.
Check it out!
edit: Im on stock 2.2 DDJP6 by the way.

I guess i'm not smart, couse i don't get it.

Don't ask dumb question to smart people

The title of this thread seems weird to me, where did you post asking about this and nobody was able to answer your question?

It's very simply : special characters and T9 dictionaries are in system/T9DB folder -about 4mb size.Samsung keyboard also require lib file LibXT9core.so

[Q] Input language in CM7

I remember having a lot more languages to choose from and now there is only one page. Before I could scroll through a lot.
Understand that I'm not talking about the locale which changes the entire phone and menus to a different language. I'm just speaking about the keyboard input language option. I'm sure Google provides all languages in Gingerbread for this as well as dictionaries for all. Where are they and how can I get/download them?
I speak a 2nd language other than English and have friends who communicate text messages using it. I hate having to switch keyboards or use anything other than stock GB keyboard.

CM7 for the CDMA Hero no longer includes the full language pack. It may or may not be possible to add them back in after the fact, but if you build the ROM image yourself you can enable the full language pack.

Thanks Jason, I was hoping you see this post So is there a reason why they dumped most of them? After all, keyboard input can be used by others in many languages. Was it just to save space?

Relevant change from Gerrit Code Review. It was part of an attempt to shrink the ROM image size. Looks like the rationale was that the biggest change would be the TTS language packs not being included, and that these could be downloaded from the market. But that is separate from the ROM languages being removed.
If you would like, I can submit a change to add the full language pack again.

I hate to be responsible for extra size but if you could add an extra language (polish) to the list of defaults many people from my town Chicago would be happy

In case someone finds this thread here is what I found:
Some info on the android keyboard and the issue:

Here is the exact keyboard but with some additional language packs which, unlike Google's, can be added later:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
I believe there is already a few submits to Google about this very issue and they will have most languages as an option language pack from their menu which you can choose to install. I hope that's coming up in Ice Cream Sandwich
