Has anyone else had this. Using the touch diamond qwerty keyboard (not the tiny MS one) I go to enter information and the keyboard is stuck on the number and symbols page. No amount of pressing ABC will switch it back to the text entry mode.
I had had this error on two seperate Daimonds. One with world wide english and now one with the UK rom. It is driving me mad.
I've the same problem with both keyboards (the full one and the compact one). But until now, no solution

I have purchased the cootek keyboard based on someone elses suggestion. It is hugely better. They have a qwerty one as well as some other faster input ones all part of the package and it was only $12 with free trial.
I have this problem too. To get the keyboard back I have to select the compact qwerty keyboard and then the full qwerty again. But that only works until I have to open the input panel again. It's very frustrating and has only just happened. The last think I did was install the Live Mesh application but I don't see how that could have effected the keyboard like this. Is there a place in the registry where I can set the default settings for the keyboard?
Have you got PCM keyboard installed. Mine only did it when that was installed and as soon as I uninstalled it fixed the other KB's. I have had the same problem on two different phones but only when PCM is installed.
I haven't installed any other keyboards, this just seems to have happened all of a sudden. However I thought I would search for forums again using different keywords and I found this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412234&highlight=keyboard+stuck
It suggested a registry location where keyboard settings are located, I set them to the values suggested in the thread and so far my keyboard has worked normally. I hoping that it's going to stay that way.
oh right thats weird because it is the same problem I had but it was because of this third party KB. I wonder if there is anything else you have installed that could have affected it. I would try uninstalling a few 3rd party apps and seeing if that fixes it.
If it happens again I'll give that a try, as it is I have my phone just the way I like it.
Thinking back I did make some keyboard changes, it was ages ago so it slipped my mind. I used a registry hack to turn off defaulting to T9 on the keyboard.

Looking back it makes use of the same registry settings. This could have been the cause, but I made the changes ages ago and the current problem only happened recently. Still, it's fixed now and I'm happy.
Life saver!

You are a fricking life saver (as is studz who originally gave the solution). I thought I was going to have to reflash my ROM. It happened to me after installing the TouchPal SIP. I decided I didn't care of it, so I went back to compact qwerty and suddenly it didn't work! The part that was messed up on mine was HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\
"Layout Text" and "Ime File."
Hey guys,
I've got a fuze and I just updated to the latest NRGY rom.
Problem I'm having is that I cannot page up/down with the opera browser. I've tried the 2/8 keys, the space bar, and even editing the input.ini file to assign other keys... Nothing has worked.
Any ideas?
Well, seeing that it might be a software issue (assuming your keyboard works in other instances :: Texting, etc..) have you tried scrolling with finger/thumb swipes? Opera Mobile was designed for "Touch-Use". If you can scroll with swipes, it might be a hardware issue with your keyboard.
If you can't scroll with swipes, visit www.opera.com and download Opera Mobile & install it yourself. It may fix the issue.
If all else fails, try using one of the Keyboard "re-mappers" to switch from TP -> Fuze, vice-versa.
[If this post offends you or seems to appear that I am "doubting your intelligence", I apologize. Just giving my two cents. Though the steps I have provided are extremely common, some people simply don't know. It's not their fault, we all had to learn once.]
Hope all is well,
Agent Zach.

Thanks Zach,
Keyboard is fine as it works with every other application. I know I could use touch, but I'm not used to touchscreen and like buttons. Will try your suggestions.

Are you using the Opera Browser that was pre-installed with your ROM?
If not, upgrade to 10.
Hoping that a fresh install of Opera will help you in this situation.
Just for the info:
When I use my Hardware "Arrows" on my keyboard in Opera, a cursor appears and is controlled by the Arrow keys. Makes non-touch navigation simple.
it is very annoying due to the fact then when I want to delete the whole sentence I can no longer just push the alt button and then delete. i used to do that a lot and its very helpful with texting. So does anyone have any ideas
I am also looking for a solution to this. My last phone (Nokia N900) you could just ctrl+backspace for whole words, or just ctrl+a (select all) then backspace but i can't seem to work out how to do this on the DROID3.
As far as I can this is a bug, and the only workaround is to choose Swype as your input method. The Droid2 has the same issue. It's an artifact of the auto-word-completion feature which is still enabled when the physical keyboard is in use.
I've tried changing the Multi-Touch keyboard settings (including the "device keyboard" section) to no avail.
Hooray changing to swype is genius ahaha works fine for me and i like swype anyways whenever I'm too lazy to slide out the keyboard.
So I've been experimenting with turning my Note 3 into a mobile media and gaming device. The media part works well (other than a few hiccups with my hdmi connector from time to time). However, I am running into issues playing games with my keyboard.
The specific app I am having issues with is QIII4A, with Open Arena. I can bind my movement keys in the game settings just fine, and my mouse works well. The problem is that my movement keys do not work, at all, when bound to WASD (technically their Dvorak equivalent, but I don't believe that's the issue). When bound to the arrow keys I can move just fine. Crouch and jump also work, Ctrl and space respectively.
I believe it's an issue with my input, possibly not repeatedly sending a key press like it would on a Computer. I use External Keyboard Helper Pro as my input method when I have a keyboard attached. I've played with the settings that seem relevant (pause before key repeating set to none, also tried do not repeat as a test).
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could get this working? I could change my keyboard layout in EKH, but I'd rather avoid this if possible.
Additionally, is it possible to unbind or rebind mouse keys? Mouse 2 as back is rather annoying.
I'm running root stock mj5, if it matters.
Thanks!

So I've done a bit more testing and it seems to be a problem with any games. Curious to know if there's a known workaround.
On further testing, I noticed that as I hold a movement key I do get some motion, just incredibly slow. Seems that it is sending a string of keypresses instead of one, long keypress. This is also why the jump and use keys work fine, as one short press is plenty. Crtl, alt, and the arrow keys or "gamepad up/down/left/right" as they're mapped work fine.
I did go ahead and create a new layout for gaming, so in the mean time that is probably a decent compromise. Just wish I could go all the way so I could type and game with the same layout. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to post a walkthrough on the key remapping process using external keyboard helper.
I have downloaded and run Remix OS Player on two different computers now and neither one of them has captured my hardware keyboard, I can use the onscreen keyboard but that really lessens the functionality and is half the point of having it run on a desktop. Can anyone advise as to how to resolve this issue? The options, advanced options, and the OS options are so dummy proofed it is impossible to do anything advanced. Is there config files I can edit or...?
I had this happen once right after installation and running the Google Play Store activator and couldn't login in to the Play Store because I couldn't type on the physical keyboard. I shutdown the player, restarted it, and then the problem went away. Might work for you.
Hi.
I have this too, regardless if I restart or not. I actually can't figure out what I have to change in language and imput options to have my keyboard back. The only thing I can do is using the virtual keyboard. I think this happened when I changed the language to french, or tried the virtual keyboard for the first time before then deactivating it. Since I can't find a reset config to default, I'm going to reinstall.
If anyone have a guess how getting my azerty hardware keyboard back, could he please explain ? I find the way the multiple language/imput options are displayed isn't very clear and whatever I do it doesn't work. I'm visibly not alone since this thread is already open, and it may be useful.
Edit : looks like the config files are not in the remix folder. After new installation in different folder, it's directly the same with the new separated machine.

There never was any actual ability to use the physical keyboard even though the settings say it's present. No amount of fiddling with the unintuitive settings seems to correct the problem. My keyboard is a Saitek Eclipse USB keyboard on Windows 7 x64. I imagine this must be a limitation of the emulator or some basic setting. The two systems I have run this on are very similar setups with the exception that the other one uses a PS2 mouse and keyboard. Shortcuts like CTRL + ALT to unbind keyboard and mouse function normally so why not typing inside the emulator?

I don't understand. Are you saying you have never been able to use your computer's keyboard ? Well sorry, you already said it sooner too. I didn't read it was the same person.
The thing is I could use it till two days ago, and I'm not the only one. I could type the physical keyboard at first start of the player without doing anything, it was default. Then probably messed up with the options I touched and can't have it back. RemixOS live or hardware installed have the keyboard detected and used as default. So does the player (except maybe you but it must just be that your keyboard isn't recognized or I don't know what.
Detection and options problem here. No lack in feature like I understand you are thinking.
I am saying that there has been not one moment I could use my computer's physical keyboard in Remix OS player, not for the very first initial run nor extracting it to a different folder, it works just fine on both computers for Windows use though. I am using the PS2 keyboard as I type this... I wouldn't think it would be difficult for the player to bind to a generic Human Interface Device or a USB keyboard... Both Mice work just fine so I figure it's just a bad config file or something. Hopefully someone figures it out soon as it's annoying to say the least.
Since I had it then lost it. Could one user or more, whose physical keyboard works since the beginning and who never changed anything to default config, screen all his/their language/keyboard relater configs please ? This may do.
Guess they don't care... oh well... Nox it is.
If this can help some people forced to use virtual keyboard too. After looking for a suitable virtual keyboard, I ended using Minuum Keyboard and Hacker's Keyboard app. The first takes the less place possible, and the 2nd looks like it has the better ratio between space used and easy access to all keys (it's sort of computer keyboard replica) ... waiting for this issue resolve if it is resolved a day, this will sorta do the trick ... But the problem really sucks.
@Saiber77 @dzeek @Esdeve - Sorry to be late with this reply. I did share your issue with our product manager and he's been working on a fix with the developer team. We believe we've isolated the issue to the Gaming toolkit causing some incompatibilities with certain hardware drivers and configurations. We're still in the middle of working on it but I'll definitely update when there's news.
@Saiber77 - And, we always read and care... just somewhat short on resources and we just finished a week-long public holiday here.
Thanks!

I just installed Remix Player on my Intel NUC and find that my keyboard is not recognized at all. I have a Corsair K70 keyboard that besides being an incredible mechanical keyboard works otherwise great under Windows 10. Hopefully Jide can provide a solution.
Wow, public holidays, devs know what it is and have that too ?
Whatever. I run on a laptop, but if you need info about hardware I'll give. Thought it's already done in the hardware thread. Sorry not being able to remember exactly since what action from me the keyboard stopped being recognized (and I don't think I tried the gaming toolkit, if I'm right about it being the d pad we can see on the right).
Hello. New user here.
This might seem weird but I also had the trouble of not being able to type anything inside the player (was trying to login to the Play Store but couldn't type in my email address). I can use the CTRL+ALT keys to get the pointer out and I see the pinch? option when I hold down the CTRL key. But when I installed the terminal/command window app, the keyboard began working inside the player (weird right?)

Since update said "Fixed keyboard input issue when key-mapping is activated"
Just to notify. It's not solved : still no keyboard.
Windows 10
Microsoft K830 Keyboard
I just found this OS; but like others crtl+alt is working, but nothing else. Hope it can be resolved so I can use the keyboard to play games
how can i enable virtual keyboard?
yea the keyboard outside American is pretty bad,my French keyboard here is not supported very well,but the player is still in early beta stage so can't complain here.there are better emulator .
The dev team has been alerted to this thread and the issues being expressed here. I'll update when there are either fixes, or if there's something you guys could help us with to solve these keyboard issues.
As for holidays, our devs work at least through Saturdays and some work Sundays as well. However, for state appointed holidays, it's illegal to order staff to work, so it's entirely up to the staff.
Thanks again!

i used to have the same problem, but i get to fix it making this:
- Open Remix Player
- Go to the last button on the white bar on the right side of the screen emulator (3-dot button)
- On the new pop-up screen, go to settings, and change the keyboard shortcuts option to Emulator Device ( default)
- Go and check if Remix Player can recognize Keyboard Input, if not, go back and change again the keyboard shortcuts option to Virtual Device and check if now Remix Player recognize Keyboard Input.
I hope that this steps can solve the problem for everyone.
psd: I don't know if it's needed to do this every time the emulator runs, if the keyboard is not working each time the emulator starts, then i assume that its have to be done this if you want to get to work your keyboard.
If you have the issue, can please try @starfoxcom 's solution?
We think this could be possibly fix the issue. We are trying to fix this issue fundamentally.
