get ride of the language bar when using hard keys? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi,
whenever i use the hard keyboard, that stupid little language bar pops up on the bottom. I always press the eng button by accident and change the language.
How can I get rid of it without, losing softkeys on portrait mode and the symbol function.
thanks!
Ray

The only way I know to get rid of the language bar is to install another keyboard, but you lose the symbol function. Check this thread out for a great alternative, the keyboard linked includes an auto-correction for the physical keyboard, which in my opinion, is a brilliant addition as well as easily accessed symbols.

really?
so theres no way to type underscore "_" in landscape mode?

I suppose if you were desperate you could leave the default text input active and switch to it from the HTC keyboard when you wanna use an underscore. Although that's a little tedious lol.

That sucks...
Thanks anyway

Hi,
I guess, you can do it by :
Settings> Locale & text> Un-checking "DEFAULT INPUT"

Yes, we know that, but if i do that, I won't be able to type _ anymore.

Lol cant u close the phone and do undetscore thru one of the side sliders of th portrait keyboard.. how lame sony have been with minor amazingly annoying smart ( or dumb lol) phone issues on th xperia range. Iv had th original x1 then x10 m pro and overall pleased with both. Its just th connectivity/compatabillity that's gettin on my goose...

Yes I can, but in the process of doing so, i might press something else and changed the language to estonian or something. It's a great phone, but these small details annoy me. Crapy contact dialer and crappy symbol keys.

Keyboard input switch on Dual

Hi,
Have a little problem with my dual. Or maybe I simple don't know.
When I want to write sms I see "touch keyboard" input is 2 letters on 1 button. But when I in file explorer for expl. I'm using "touch keyboard" input with 1 letter on button.
How could I fix it? bicause when I'm writing sms I want to see every letter on different button but I can't do that because I have to use only metod with 2 letters on button
Thanx
Sorry for my poor English
Htc Touch Dual
this is not the problem
u can see teh 1 botton keyboard only on some applications like contacts but when you try to make a new sms or email you can see the 2 or 3 botton keyboard nothing can change that unless someone here in the forum will have a tool or reg fix for it
gd luck

i would really like to have the 1 button keyboard as my only soft keyboard for ALL applications. does anyone know a way to imply this?
thanks a lot.
Or modified keyboard
Or possibly modify the touch keyboard so that the full stop & comma are on the 1st page of symbols & the word select area is more finger friendly?
Try the keyboard TouchPal ...is free to use and is great for oane hand use of the phone. I write SMS with it even when driving...
here it is : http://www.cootek.com/
don't know if this helps and if it sets the keyboard to default, but if you press on the little "upper arrow" on the right side to the "20", you can change the kind of keyboard used by the application
I like to have this keyboard too...

[Q] Remove the language bar?

Has anybody worked out how to remove the language bar which pops up when texting yet? If I have the sudden urge to switch to Catalan half way through a text I will do it long-hand, that bar takes up too much of the already small screen!
Could you post a photo of what you mean,cost I don't get any language bar come up

I cant post a pic of it at the moment, but let me try to explain it better. When i go to enter text using the hardware keyboard a blue bar appears at the bottom of the screen (taking up approx 1/5 of the screen) with "Eng" on the left and an icon to show the status of the Caps lock on the right, along with a close button. This annoys the hell out of me as often when filling in passwords etc it covers up the "Ok" button.
Only way I found on mini pro is
Settings - Locale & Text
Uncheck the default input tick box
This works well on mini pro but stops you using virtual keyboard

Is a good intermediate solution but someone knows a way to get rid of this bar without losing the virtual keyboard?
It's build in built-in keyboard and I think it could not be removed (not easily without root hacks). The half-solution without root is to use another software keyboard.
Yeah installing third party keyboard software gets rid of the blue language bar.
I'm using SlideIt Keyboard which changes the virtual keyboard to a funky Swype-like keyboard but removes the language bar when using the hardware keyboard.

Can anyone recomend a decent keyboard replacement.
Also, i've asked this before (didn't get much of a reposnse) but is there a way to get spell check with the hardware keyboard?

I use AnySoftKeyboard, which is free and provides a reasonably good keyboard for when I don't want to open the hardware keyboard.

Currently there doesn't appear to be one.
I have ended up installing AnySoft keyboard too. Its ok, but removes the function where you could long-press a key to access the blue alternate option on it. It has removed the language bar though so its good enough for me!

[Q] *[q]is it possible to change the original hd2 keybored?*

Is it possible to change the original htc hd2 keybored to a new keybored like android without flashing a new rom?? I rly like the android keybored... Plz do not post the swype OR TOCUHPAL keyboARdS.. Thanks!!!
Yes. It is possible to change the keyboard without flashing. Find one you like and download it.
For example: THIS keyboard or THIS one or THIS one... well you get the idea.
There really isnt a single WinMo keyboard out there that has the same layout as Android or iPhones keyboards.
Quite a shame since if you could just remove the useless arrow keys and space the keys a little more with the space saved by getting rid of the useless arrow keys then the keyboard could be perfect =/

RESCO Keyboard Pro (I had it allready from earlier PDA) Has no arrows (on the default screen)
One can swype left/right for the different screens.
Immediate access to calculator, and the arrows, copy, paste, delete and backspace are just one flick away....
Well worth the monye IMO.
Also rotates to landscape....

Yeah I tried RESCO but the landscape version of it is not really qwerty style at all
Like on any keyboard the letters should funnel diagonal like this:
------------>QWERTYUIOP
-------------->ASDFGHJK
---------------->XCVBN
RESCO doesn't seem to do this its more like:
QWERTYUIO
ASDFGHJKL;'
ZXCVBNM,./
Every letter is exactly underneath each other instead of diagonal which throws off typing since no one has ever typed on a keyboard that style.
I need a keyboard in landscape to look exactly like this:
Speaking of which does anyone know which keyboard this is??? It looks absolutely perfect!
The indented layout has been designed for 10 finger typing
I do not believe you can do it on the HD2....
The swype keyboard is probably more to your liking.....
BTW: Where did you find that screendump?
Perhaps you could ask that user....

Argh!
Found out its an old skin of the RESCO keyboard called iSkin... but its back from 2008 and I cant find anything that it would re-size correctly for the Hd2
I'll try swype again though due to the indented keys based off your suggestion and figure out what it was that I didn't like the first time or if it has been fixed (can't remember since its 4am at the moment =P)
Edit: I hate swyping since its bad for inputting url's... but I tried it anyways just as a way to type regularly since i like the layout of the keyboard BUT no sound clicks when I press keys + no key press popup showing me I pressed the right one while I am typing = No good
Need a real iPhone style keyboard with indented keys in landscape.
Android can do it, why cant WM?

wildfire change keyboard: Error inserting smart keyboard pro

guys, just a little problem:
I downloaded the latest version and, after enabling the keyboard settings menu - language and keyboard,
when I open a text message, and I try to change the input method, nothing shows, I have the ability to change keyboard
always appears the original, I tried to reboot to disable keybord smart, to re-enable it, but nothing,
When I click on "integration method" returns to the screen with the original keyboard, not smart .. Why?
something wrong? well, I looked around, and I have not found anyone with my problem ..
tips?
hello, I have resolved, I was wrong in practice once you've enabled the keyboard settings menu, open a new sms, and hold on "type text here" so you can choose the input method!
Ha just found this thanks my boss has a wildfire and didn't like the standard keyboard and me having a Galaxy S I thought oh thats easy lets get him a new one.
I had the same problem I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to change the default keyboard glad you figured it out I was there for ages.
Maybe its just you and me

Swype keyboard language switcher to left of space bar

The little language switcher button on Photons stock Swype keyboard drives me insane i bump it all the time(clumsy fingers) and it takes a while to get my keyboard back to English, is there another Swype keyboard that i can use that wont have this?! It is honestly the biggest flaw i see with this device. Or is there perhaps a few files i can edit within the phone so the button doesn't do anything? I do like the capabilities of Swype, just hate this language button, guess its what happens when i get a global phone.. Thanks!
Seconded!
I have this problem, too. And what's with the "post too short" error?
