can't set keyboard any more (always qwertz)

Since a few days I cant set the soft-keybord in my xda diamond any more. It's now set as 'complete QWERTZ' and I like to set the phone-keybord but the small arrow next to the keybord symbol doesn't work.
Even when I open the input-settings under system-prefernences I can change the kind of keyboard but when I re-open the settings page it's again set as QWERTZ.
I tried some soft-resets and searched the forum.. Do anybody knows a solution??

you have qwertz keyboard??
how do you have it i have qwerty

May I know how to set the Font for the keyboard.
I'm having 'Courier' instead of 'Tahoma'.
Thanks in anticipation.

Is really the Font of your keyboard Courier or the trext you write with it?
If the Text is Courier you can set it in the Programm u use for typing, if the keyboard layout is really courier perhaps the font-file ist missing!?
Don't anybody has a Idea? I don't like to do an hard-reset because of that..

Hi, it's the the keyboard's font that tend to be in Courier, but changes sometime (Tahoma or back to Courier) after every soft-reset.
I didn't install any software to SMS or email.
Btw, kindly guide how to change the text font that we're typing (first time PPC user ).

That don't work! =(
I can change that setting but it don't take effect. And when I reopen the settings page after changing its "complete QWERTZ" again.
The only thing that had worked today is opening an program that that is using the keyboard-icon at other place and layout (like TRE Regeditor > small icon at the right bottom side). That was the only Programm where this arrow next to the the keybord-icon works. But even now I can't change the keyboard in any other programs, only in TRE. Don't know why =(

Use better keyboard on nexus one

Is there a way to use the better keyboard on the nexus? i installed it but still uses the default one

Yes, open the keyboard and hold the 123 keys till input method wording show. Then you can choose better keyboard as the default.

I installed Smart Keyboard Pro. To use I had to enable it in Settings > Language & Keyboard.
But I can only use it in html forms by long pressing a form field, selecting "input method" and than choosing it. The whole process makes smart keyboard pretty much useless...
Please, let me know If you can successfully enable better keyboard and overcome this problem somehow...
Regards,
Thiago Souza

Make sure you go to your keyboard option in the settings menu, make sure Smart Keyboard Pro is checked, then go to the keyboard hold down 123 and select it

Ice Cream Sandwich Keyboard

In case you didn't see it... the ICS Keyboard has been ported!
I find it to be an excellent replacement for the stock keyboard.

Hi,
I couldn't find solution for my problem so I made that thread.
I'm freaking out when I reboot my phone, wanna send message or something and ******* android default keyboard comes up. I must go back, go to the settings, laungage & keyboard and, set swype as default and then change input method. Can I replace system keyboard app with SWYPE? If yes then how?

Delete LatinIME.apk from /system/app

Amazing, it worked! Thanks. Problem solved.

No problem, you could delete Userdictionaryprovider too since its only used for the stock keyboard.

Swype as default keyboard
Simply ensure that swype is not installed to SD card.
Then, go to settings and set Swpe as default keyboard
When using keyboard, for the 1st time after this,
Long press TAB and again select Swype.
That is it

[Q] How to increase keyboard size

I upgraded to LA4 and realized that letters are a lot smaller that the previous firmware I had. My fingers are too big for a tiny keyboard. I mean we have 5.3" screen what is the point of shrinking the letters that much?
Anyways, how can I get my old keyboard back or a keyboard that is bigger than the LA4 keyboard?

I liked the bigger keyboard better. the new one is too small for me.
I would appreciate it if some knew how to get the older keyboard back instead of reverting to an older rom

hi, maybe im wrong, but could it be that you guys have been under settings->language&Keyboard and have set a tap to an option that called 'one hand operation' ? if yes delete the tap and you have your old keyboard back

Also smart keyboard on the market, allows you to increase its keys to whatever pixel size you want :-D

I am not a big fan of 3rd party keyboard apps but in this case I will try that. Thank you.
Any other suggestions are welcomed.

I use hacker's keyboard from the market. There you can set the height of the keys if you want to.

yeah.. smart keyboard pro should do the trick..
