I'm just wondering what does symbol lock do? Found under the locale & text menu in settings.
I've tried turning it on or off and then typing but not noticed any difference, so what does it do?
when it is turned off, if you are typing and press the "12#" button to select a symbol, it automatically jumps back to the standard letters keyboard after the symbol is pressed. When symbol lock is on (default) it stays on teh symbols keyboard till you press "ABC"

In order to turn on the phone's display, I have to push the power button.
I would like the display to turn on when I slide out the keyboard.
Is there any fix for this? I have tried AEBPlus but didn't see any way to add a hotkey.
Thanks!
For security for improper usage while in pocket or hand bag the key are usually locked. Sliding is not possibly on the screen either. You can do one thing is to check the options in settings and keylock to the "Lock Buttons if Device is Locked" so press anybutton, but not the keyboard button because it will not work
Is there a keyboard out with an Alt key or something like that to make symbols like on pc keyboard?.. for example, holding alt+0187 gives you ยป symbol. thanks.
Hey
I need help
In any text field (sms, url etc) - I suddenly don't have the keyboard (x10 mini)
I have anysoftkey installed too (for hebrew), but nothing is displayed
Try long pressing in the text field till a menu appears, then select "Input method" from the menu - this will let you pick which keyboard to use if you've got other ones installed.
I did that but the anysoftkeyboard was defined as the input method
I finally just re-started and it came back to normal
Thanks !
Actually, sometimes when you switch keyboard, it will not work for a while (happen to me once or twice) just exit the apps and open it again and click on the input field and voila, it's there.
Before I begin, I just want to point out that I've read the suggestions at these 2 topics here:

Ok, so basically I'm running MiniCM7-2.1.9 and I want to get the Symbol key to work. Right now, pressing the Symbol key doesn't bring up the Symbols menu, it just emulates the blue number key instead.
After following the suggestions at the 2 topics I posted above, I did manage to get Symbol key to work, but I don't like the layout of the "Default" input keyboard. I want the "Android keyboard" layout, while still able to use the Symbol key.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
You can't... Sym key only works on SE Default Input keyboard.
I miss the 4.1.2 keyboard for the easy ability to long press on a key for the corresponding symbol. I dont like hitting the symbol key just to get the choice of symbols to pop up. Anyobe have the old keyboard apk I can install. or suggest a different keyboard. I haven't found a keyboard with the symbol under each key and a seperate line for numbers.
The new swiftkey beta has the long-press symbol under each key as well as dedicated number row that has to be enabled under the options.
