I recently flashed to 2.1 on my X10 and love it. Phone works great and love the more apps I can use now. The other day my son was playing a game on my phone & when he gave it back my keyboard for texting is all screwed up.
My keyboard is like in korean or chinese symbols, but theres a button on lower left corner that I click & makes it english letters. But it doesn't correct spelling or punctuate automatically or predict words for you. I went into keyboard settings & picked android keyboard & English ( USA ) & clicked all the quick texting & grammar fixes but they still don't work. Any help would be great.

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!

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.
Hi Folks
I've been looking for an alternative to the HTC Touch keyboard.
I generally use the keyboard in Phone Keypad(T9) format but the Touch keypad tends to lag a bit sometimes.
I'm looking for something that works exactly the same as the Phone Keypad but doesn't lag.
Everything else i have downloaded from the market is Qwerty only. I can type much faster with the Phone Keypad with predictive text than qwerty.
so far i've tried:
Anysoftkeyboard
Better Keyboard 8
Gingerbread Keyboard
Keypurr
SlideIT
Thick buttons
But none of these have a decent Phone Keypad(T9) format, they are all qwerty or variations of qwerty.
Any help appreciated!
try "smart keyboard". i m using smart keyboard, and have not even felt the need for any other keyboard.
Cheers for that i've donwloaded it and its seems ok so far but can't give a full assessment without the english dictionary.
But the pro version with the English dictionary cost £1.68! Bit steep for an app which i cant try fully b4 i buy.
Most Apple apps are £0.59p!
Better Keyboard 8 has phone T9 layout!
Tried all the ones on the market, they all have good points but none are perfect. If you took all the good points from all of them u would have the perfect keypad but at the moment the Sense keypad still out does them all.
It just feels better and has a much better dictionary setup and just more user-friendly.
Just the stupid lag which i have to put up with. Mind u the other keypads also had occasional lag but i think its just to do with the phone, it simply can't multi-task.
Just installed a modded HTC keyboard. There are in fact 3 keyboard styles in one installation: full qwerty, compact qwerty (2 letters per key with XT9 system) and dialpad (T9). Got it here:

I chose the high resolution version for Froyo and it works great. It's got many languages and also English speech-to-text which works remarkably well. Too bad it's not available in the other languages. The only disadvantage over Swype I found so far is switching between languages which takes an extra keypress because you have to go into the menu. The Swype keyboard has a direct key for this.
I used the compact qwerty keyboard for many years on my Windows Mobile smartphones. Swype works ok but it is just more prone to errors, at least with me. So having HTC's keyboard in Android really made my day.
The keyboard is skinnable but I can't be bothered because the standard look is fine for me.
I'm using it as well since I got defy. if you want to quickly switch languages there's a settings voice where you can assign that function to the volume buttons .

Went through the settings again today and I switch through languages with left and right swipes now. Also disabled the languages I don't use.
The volume button now moves the cursor which is a huge improvement on a phone without a track sensor! I love this keyboard even more.
Nice job man
this is great , i was longing for one. tried a lot on winmo 6.1 but couldent get it
i have keyboard like n73 or n95 !!
pls send private msg
thx
Hello, I just recently installed CM7 on my Mimmi, and it was all working like a charm until I realized that the Spanish language that came in the options did not fit with the keys in the expandable keyboard (namely, the symbols and numbers, I have to guess where they are, there is no "ñ" key, and so on).
I know it's a common mishap when you are using a Latin American keyboard with an English language, and for some reason it happens with my Spanish language now. It was all fine and dandy when I used Android 2.1.
Does anyone have an idea of how can I find/install the Latin American language? I searched everywhere

You should be able to get special letters like Ñ ect if you hold down the N-key on the keyboard. I box will pop up on the screen where you can celect the letter.

Silly me. Thank you so much, it worked.
Good morning,
First of, I did use GOOGLE and the search button on here but couldn't get my answer. So, here I am.
Ok, I like both Samsung and Google keyboards, but on Samsung keyboard, I installed my national language so I can talk to my dad and it is perfectly working for me. However, when I type English, I prefer Google keyboard because it does not predict with the mix of my language like the Samsung and screw up my typing.
On the Google keyboard, I can simply hold the space bar and the keyboard switching window pops up and let me choose other keyboard.
My question is, can I setup the Samsung keyboard to have the same effect so I can switch back and forth between the keyboards without going through the setup menus ?
Thanks!
