Has anyone else had troubles installing a foreign language keyboard on the NC? Here are my symptoms:
- I am able to install them just fine
- In NookColorTools I am able to see and change to the new keyboard
- When I enter a text field the keyboard pops up fine.
+ BUT When I click to type the Keyboard simply minimizes / disappears
I have tried about every app out there and there is no inherent one. Almost all have the same issue with disappearing. Here is a Summary:
Simeji (the one I want working most) : Any function key, space, enter causes keyboard to minimize
OpenWnn plus : minimizes on any button push
OpenWnn : minimizes on any button push
Simeji classic : minimizes again.
MultiLing Gingerbread Keyboard Buttons work, but holding in letters (for more letters) shows no values in the popup
Very Easy Japanese Keyboard: WORKS... But the input interface is not very easy (ironic)
Google Pinyin IME WORKS completely... BUT its Chinese not Japanese :X
Now I have a million keyboards (probably missing one or two) which I can't uninstall because there doesn't seem to be a way.. and none of them work. Any ideas?

Hello,
Lucky you English typers The point is that I live in Poland where we have also special characters. On PC I can get those character by pressing Alt + letter. But what about my HTC?
I tried to use Polish T9, but after installation I get the following:
- indeed I have Polish dictionary - ok
- in compact QWERTY I can type special characters (you can change characters by pressing proper button a few times) - ok
- in compact QWERTY the buttons are associated with normal letters and also Polish characters (when I press for example "l" I get words starting with both "l" and Polish characted similar to "l") - ok
- in compact QWERTY I don't have symbols panel - keyboard area is getting black - wrong
- in full QWERTY there is no way to input Polish characters (by pressing "l" for the second time I would like to get such a character) - wrong
- in full QWERTY the buttons are associated only with normal letters so it is almos impossible to use T9 - wrong
So question to all of you - is there any way to customize this keyboard?
Currently black sumbols screen (compact QWERTY only) gets me crazy. Furthermore it would be superb to be able to modify default grey characters (the one that apprears when you press and hold the button) on full QWERTY. Any ideas?
Im interested in other way how to havo only full keyboard or only keypad because I never use compact keyboard and I can save some storage space and also situation for switching between keyboards...
Yuh gotta try this - definite best keyboard i've used.

The Beta worked for about 14 days, and then the phone started doing some random hangs. and after not being able to type anything in a SMS i changed the keyboard back, and my phone is now normal.
Cool keyboard, but might cause problems....
when the beta stops working you might want to try Perfect Keyboard, and Smart keyboard, they have similar options, except importing SMS into dictionary.
Thanks for it
I will try and see
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Premium App
i can absolutely recommend swiftkey. try it guys.
This looks nice. Will try it out...
Go Keyboard problems
1. I use the speech recognition a lot. When I set the Voice Key to 'On main keyboard' I loose the Comma key.
Is there any way I can get both the voice key and the comma key on the main screen?
2. When I use the voice recognition (the Voice Recognition is great, 90% or better) but if I try to edit the phrase it shows because a letter is incorrect. I put the cursor to the right of the letter and hit backspace or space and it pastes the whole phrase in again in the middle of the phrase I am trying to edit. Any idea how to avoid this?
I really like Go Keyboard, but these 2 things are driving me nuts.
Regards,
Mark

How does it compare to Swype?
Hi,
I've just connected a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo to my Nexus 7, it works great apart from the lack of a keyboard layout for English (UK). the only English layouts are US and US Dvorak style. Does anyone know of a way to get the keyboard to use a UK layout? The built-in Android keyboard has one and works fine.
Paul.
I'm going to second this question. The US layout is usable but when you have to use the " key to get an @ it starts to get annoying.
Workaround that works!
I had the same problem, having just bought a UK layout bluetooth keyboard from Amazon.
There is a workaround - "External Keyboard Helper Pro" in Google Play. It costs a couple of quid.
You can try out "External Keyboard Helper Demo" first, to show that it works - this is free to try out.
A word of warning - it took me a while to get this to work - it was quite fiddly, but it DOES eventually work!
A hint:
In Language & Input, these are the settings that work for me:
Default: External Keyboard Helper Pro
SELECTED: Android Keyboard: English (UK)
SELECTED: External Keyboard Helper Pro
Under choose input method, select:
Hardware Physical Keyboard OFF
English (UK) Android keyboard - NOT SELECTED
External Keyboard Helper Pro - SELECTED
By SELECTED I mean ticked in the above.
I found that choosing the English (Dvorak) layout in External Keyboard Helper Pro and having "Sound on keypress" on helped my work out when the app was intercepting the bluetooth keyboard input and remapping correctly. Once that you know it is working, switch off the sound and select "English (GB)" as the layout in External Keyboard Helper Pro.
I tried this solution and it works (though I have no idea why).
The problem is that you seem to have to go through the suggested routine every time you connect the keyboard.
Has anyone found a way of setting it up so that it automatically sets it self up with the English layout when you connect the keyboard and then reverts to the on-screen keyboard when you disconnect?
I've got a Sprint HTC One (M8) running BadSeed's stock rooted 1.54.651.8...
I have 2 issues with the keyboard:
1. For apps that want numeric input, the keypad has no decimal-point, just 0-9, back and enter.
I ran into this using the fuelly app, which is just a front-end for the website m.fuelly.com.
Maybe they're marking the field as wanting the wrong numeric type - I'm not sure, but it worked with my Evo 4g LTE.
2. So I installed an alternate keyboard app (smart keyboard), but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the input method anymore.
Long-press in an input field doesn't do it, and neither is there a keyboard icon in the statusbar while doing input as some have suggested.
Does anybody else have these problems, and if so, know any solutions?
Ah - found a workaround to #1...
Accidentally stumbled across the fact that when a keyboard is up, you can swipe the whole thing left or right to get alternate layouts. (Who knew?)
Still don't know how to switch to a 3rd-party keyboard though, but for now I no longer need to.
this is what i get when i type out the ABCs in order: http://i.imgur.com/6Kx0Xku.png
anyone know why this started happening? i have chinese pinyin input method enabled on windows, but i kept it on english and i still get this bug
Found a fix
Remix Os Player for some reason when you press alt and any alphabet in keyboard it = random characters, and you probably press alt tab to switch in between to programs, am i right? I'm not going to go deep into this, but just press tab again
Does anybody have a fix for this? Happening to me too
