Arrow Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 6 (1.2 Bootloader) - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've downloaded, searched, and I think it's just a problem with the software. I first discovered this, when trying to add Japanese to the tablet. My Japanese girlfriend wants to input Japanese text. I said sure, although it wasn't listed in the Android Keyboards, I went to download an Android Keyboard App. But it wouldn't work!
Here's the problem:
I download and see it on the lists of keyboards to select, but it isn't selectable!
I ignored the problem, but when the SixxAxis.apk came out and I wanted to be able to play NES Roms, I can't select this controller in the keyboard section.
Anyone discover this also? Anyone have a fix for it?
Maybe the next version can include a Japanese input?

This is a known issue. The solution is to move the keyboard apk into the system apps folder. Root Explorer will do the trick.

If all that's required, you are a god send! Thank you for letting me know, I'm going to try this right now.
So all I do is put whatever keyboard into the system apps folder. Okay...
How about Japanese Text Input? Anywhere to install this as an Android Keyboard?

Okay, just tried it...and it won't let me. It says that the system/app folder is read protected. I'm pretty good with computers, but this tablet isn't working well for me.
I feel kind of noobish.
Any help? Can you put instructions if possible?
I think I found the reason... you have to touch the small mount button first.

When I go to select the keyboard it still won't select. I placed the apk in the system/app folder like mentioned, but no change.
Anything else that's needed?

I had forgotten the last step. Find a text input box and long press. Select input method and then select your desired keyboard. An alternate method can also be found here: http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummie...2-04-replace-soft-keyboard-in-tnt-based-roms-

I'm not a stupid user...but this is still not working. Btw, the link you posted didn't work with the file.
I really would like to use my PS3 controller on this thing. Japanese would make the woman happy too.
Anyone have any Japanese keyboards? Point me to the .apk!

Speech to text mic icon missing from keyboard ?

Have an Eris with 2.1, but the keyboard doesn't have the mic icon for typing text by speaking. How so ?
You need to clarify just a bit. Are you rooted or not? If you are rooted, which rom are you using? Either way, double check to see if there are any other keyboards installed. First, go to Settings > Language & Keyboard > and see if there are any other keyboards to select. If there are, check them off. Next, go to any text box, long press then select whichever keyboard you want. If you don't have any other keyboards to try, well there are plenty to choose from, either on this forum, the Market place or if there is a specific one you want and can't find, PM me and I'll send you a link.

Hey thank you for the reply. I'm not rooted. On stock rom.
No problem. It's been so long since I've had a stock rom, I don't remember what choices that are included for keyboards. Did you find any others to pick from? If not, there are a lot of good choices out there. It isn't for everyone, but check out Swype. I like it, and it amazes your friends and family at the same time lol. I have a working .apk if you want to try. Ask and I'll pm you the link.

[Q] Add My Word doesn't remember the word added since Vodafone 3.14.161.3 update

Hi all,
I've updated to the latest Vodafone Rom available on HTC's website (3.14.161.3) and since then then the T9 Add My Word feature no longer works properly.
If I add a new word to the dictionary, 1 of 3 things will happen:
1) Remember it until I open up a new SMS
2) Remember it until I turn the phone off and on (did call this soft reboot previously)
3) Not remember it at all
As you can imagine, it's getting annoying now as I honestly thought, "This must be a ROM update issue, I'm sure there'll be a fix soon". I rang HTC support and of course it's the usual, "Not heard of this before".
I've Googled and searched and I can see that some people have the problem but not as much as I expected. I can only imagine that the problem is experienced more if you use the phone pad style keyboard rather than the full Qwerty.
From what I can find, there's a T9xxx.db in the root of Windows directory that get's updated when you add a new word. But when the dictionary recalls words that it knows, it refers to a T9xxx.db file that's located in a T9 FOLDER within the Windows directory. I've reinstalled the update 3 times since December and each time the feature doesn't work.
In simple terms, it's the same as you picking an item up with your right hand, place the item in your right pocket but when you want it, you use your left hand to go to your left pocket and wonder why it's not there.
Any idea when this can be fixed? Can it be fixed? Is anyone else experiencing this using the phone pad style keyboard layout?
Thanks for any help given.

this has always happened. At least it has for me, on all winmo roms since O2 1.42 rom. It used to do it on my old xda2i too.

Eeek! I think I've got soft reboot confused with something else. What I mean is when I turn the phone off and on.
yep me too,
maybe im confusing the save words from whilst typing, , when you add a word, and the xtmywords or whatever its called app?
ive never added the words using the .exe in /windows/ , i do it when typing in int exp or sms, and come across a word, add it there and then, but yea, a soft reset( reboot ) and the added words are gone.
One of the reasons i learned how to cook was so i could hard add words to the HTCMDB.txt file pre flash.
Perhaps the app works differently than adding from the keyboard?
I've added words from within the SMS and from eT9MyWords from the root directory and still it doesn't remember words added after a reboot. Before the update it was working just fine.
I added all I liked through both within the SMS and eT9MyWords and all the words were remembered after a reboot.
So I dug around a little more and found one person who had a similar thing and as far as I can tell they never resolved it.
There's a folder within Windows called ET9IMEDB (\My Device\Windows\ET9IMEDB\). Within this folder are two files, ET9ASDB and ET9RUDB. What used to happen as far as I know, when you add words either within the SMS or using the eT9MyWords.exe, one of the two files within \My Device\Windows\ET9IMEDB\ folder would have the words added to it. When you then type a new SMS, the saved words are recalled from one of these two files.
The 3.14 update now adds the new words to a file outside of the ET9IMEDB folder to a file called ET9RUDBW. But when you type a new SMS, it looks at the files within the \Windows\ET9IMEDB\ folder instead of the ET9RUDBW file outside of \Windows\ET9IMEDB\.
So basically if function is add new word it goes here:
\My Device\ET9RUDBW
If function is recall added new words, it looks here:
\My Device\Windows\ET9IMEDB\
instead of:
\My Device\ET9RUDBW
Question is, how do I point it to look at the file it updates and not one that it used to update?
as an alternative, THIS method lets you add not just words but sentences (with spaces) too. Great for hard coding addresses.
its not one-word-at-a-time friendly, but useful none the less.
Post 6 of THIS thread has more notes on putting whole sentences into htcmdb.txt

Ah cool, I'll give that a go. Although it would be nice that Add My Word worked as it did before. Still, nice little work around until I grab a different phone or a patch/fix comes out.
Thank you

[Guide] New Swype Beta - Much Improved

First, register if you haven't. A LINK TO THE SWYPE BETA. It is open now. Why wouldn't you register??
Second, completely remove your current version. Uninstall it. Open Root Explorer, go to main root folder, press the search button on your phone, type "swype"and delete all files, reboot your phone.
Here is what my Root Explorer looks like... again, I am sure there are better ways. This worked for me though.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, Download the swype beta installer. I go to the site from my phone. Open it, follow prompts, select swype as input method. I only download the English/Spanish version. No need for a bigger file, right?
I suggest turning auto correct off in the settings.
Here is a really good guide for backing up / restoring your Swype Dictionary (root users).
Also, tell @swype their new "feature" of moving to the end if a tapped word is annoying. It used to show the cursor where you tapped. I've notified them already. They said it would be addressed and higher ups notified.
All in all, it is SO MUCH BETTER! No more annoying pop-up window! Really feels a lot better.
Here is a picture. Notice how the words are displayed now, not a pop-up:
Swype v3.0 BETA released!
Here are the details:
Swype v3 introduces two major new features: Tap Correction and Horizontal Word Choice List
Our Tap Correction engine utilizes many of the concepts that make swyping so accurate. Seamlessly go from typing to swyping and back without missing a beat!
The Horizontal Word Choice List replaces our popup word choice window, giving users an experience more in-line with evolving Android standards. It also makes dictionary control and word selection faster and easier.
Swype v3 is available for devices with HVGA, WVGA, FWVGA, QVGA, WQVGA, WSVGA, qHD screen sizes
Introducing a special Honeycomb-only WXGA version for Android tablets, with features like "moveable keyboard" that you won't find anywhere else!
To see which languages are supported on your device, check the language and resolution table
Improved licensing: Swype will no longer be disabled after a reboot on some devices; added support for devices that don't have a cellular radio (wifi-only tablets); no more license failures for CDMA devices in airplane mode.
Simplified registration by allowing users to authenticate their email address directly through the installer
Too many other improvements to list! Download Swype v3 NOW to explore everything the next generation of Swype has to offer!
Limited End User Support - mostly via our forum
If your phone came pre-installed with Swype
DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)

Okay, I created a blog entry on this.. HERE IS THE ARTICLE, and I've pasted it for the lazy ones.
First, My Rant…
You may have noticed something about me by now. When I am a fan of something, I am very critical of it. I expect the things that I am passionate about to consistently improve – to be the best. Companies are starting to learn this of me too, which I find as a compliment!
.
Well, I’m a Huge fan of Swype! If you can type faster using another keyboard, you’re likely using Swype wrong. I’m hoping this post helps you guys use Swype more effectively. I’ll provide some helpful tips to aid you. But first, lets talk about the new version of Swype and it’s features.
.
Swype addressed some of my biggest gripes with the new Beta update. Sadly, while introducing some new (bigger) issues. First, there is no more annoying pop-up window intruding on your screen. Instead, they’ve brought word suggestions discretely above the keyboard, like your typical android keyboard. Also, you can now peck and have Swype use their auto-correction feature to auto-magically adjust for your bad pecking. Not having to be 100% accurate is nice – much like when swyping, you don’t have to be 100%, it just knows. There are other new features, but this is a great segue to my gripes. Which frankly, are more interesting to me.
.
The auto-correct feature comes defaulted on. It’s new, I get it. But, I don’t peck. If I Swype a word, then go to adjust something it is a world of pain for me. Why you ask? My swyping is very accurate, especially when I have built up my dictionary some (more on that later). So, when I need to make an adjustment to a word, it’s usually minor. Now, when I go to adjust that word it seems to auto-fill a whole new word, or an ending to the word not intended. What makes that worse, they have adjusted the cursor to default to the end of the word on the first tap. It used to be when you edited a word, you could easily place the cursor mid-word, correct, move on. Not now. My cursor jumps around like crazy. If you have a comma at the end of a word, grab a beer, as you are about to be frustrated if you need to delete it. If this bothers you as well, please let @Swype know (they listen, trust me!!)
.
I did find a few solutions to my only gripes. Hallelujah! One, you can turn the auto-correct off. To do so, go to your Swype Settings > Word Suggestion > Uncheck Auto-Correction. The word suggestions still show, which is awesome (no more pop-up window makes me jump like a school girl at a Beiber show). Now, regarding the cursor. Swyping from the “Swype button” to “SYM” lets you easily adjust the cursor location. I have complained to Swype. Supposedly my message was sent to those above the ones managing their Twitter account… so yeah, expect a fix tomorrow guys, you’re welcome. Ha.
.
A Guide…
Alright, you have heard some of the good… some of the bad. Here is my not so perfect attempt as a guide to get you up and running on the new Swype Beta. Please note, they say that if your phone came with Swype pre-installed, to not use the Beta, that it will not work. I am not certain the logic here & will not try and act like I do, but my Vibrant came pre-loaded, and has never been happier.
.
1 – Register for the beta, if you have not already. Honestly, while the Beta is open, what do you have to lose?
LINK >> http://beta.swype.com/
2 – Backup your current swype (titanium, move the .apk to your PC, whatever.. just do something so you can’t blame me for user error or something going horribly wrong that is beyond me). I did not backup but I would prefer you do so.
I will also say, if you have root and you have a current Swype Dictionary that you would like to keep, read this post. If this does not apply to you, or you don’t care about your current dictionary (i did not) then proceed. Otherwise, read that link.
3 – Uninstall Swype from your phone.
4 -Open a file manager, I prefer Root Explorer. Go to your main parent folder and search for “swype” – with most file managers, you should just be able to press the search button on your phone as an FYI. Delete all of the results you see for Swype (again, don’t blame me if you delete something you should not have). I did this, and it worked great for me. Also, you made a backup just in case in step 2, right?
Once you have a backup, uninstalled, and deleted all associate swype files, reboot your phone (maybe not needed, but I did it).
5 – I would then go to http://beta.swype.com/ on your phone. Login and download the Beta Installer. If it’s not showing a download link, you can resend the beta invite email. If you get a message that you are not on an Android phone, you likely have your phones user agent set to act like IE6, not Android – ie, CyanogenMod folk.
6 – Great, now install the Beta Installer. Open it. Follow the prompts. Download the Swype version applicable to you. For me, I get the English version, no need for a full version (more languages) in my case. This really is self explanatory, but post questions in the Comments if you have them. I am willing to uninstall/reinstall to see the prompts if need be.
7 – You should be up and running at this point. I suggest going to the swype settings and turning off auto-correct as previously mentioned. Maybe you want to experiment with the default settings and be the judge for yourself. I don’t blame you, be a cowboy.
Here is how Swype appears with the new Beta installed (sexy notification bar eh? Thanks Roman!):

Tips For Using Swype More Effectively…
Alright, now that you have the latest-greatest… lets talk about how to effectively use Swype. Below are some of my favorite Swype tips. It is not an entire list. Swype has a lot on their site not listed here. These are all you really need to be a Swype-Pro in my opinion.
.
You know you can long-press on the letters to access the smaller items (ie, long press “R” for a “1″)… but did you know you can Swype from “SYM” to “5″ and get the entire numeric keypad? It takes less time to do, and if you have multiple #s you will be much faster. Press “ABC” when you are ready for your letters.
.
Just like long-pressing numbers, I often see people long press when trying to do an Exclamation or Question mark…. No need! Just Swype from the punctuation to space. This will add a question mark and auto-fill a space for your next sentence. Quicker and more efficient than a long press followed by a space button!
.
I referenced it earlier, but going from the “Swype button” to “SYM” brings up the editing keyboard where you can adjust your cursor location easily. This keyboard is the most under-valued. I use it a lot for my cursor, but also to select text. Really explore this one. Again, press “ABC” when done.
.
Did Swype get a word wrong, AND it’s not in the new word suggestion box? Double tap the word that was done incorrectly. It will be highlighted now. Key (peck!) the word correctly. Strong chance Swype will recall this word next time you attempt it. I’ve noticed when editing words several words back from where I left off, Swype remembers where I was, so no need to place the cursor back where you left off. It knows.
.
Want to add words to your dictionary, to make it easier next time? You can also simply type the word/combo of words/#s (ie your email address), go to the editing keyboard (“Swype” to “SYM”), press Select All, then Press the Swype button again… you will have a prompt asking if you want to add that crazy long string/odd word/whatever to your dictionary…. of course you do!
.
Need to capitalize something? If using a name for example mid sentence, simple start at the first letter and go ABOVE the keyboard, then back down to the second letter and continue swyping like normal (ie, Callip… start a “C” go above the KB, then go to “a” and continue). Need to make it CALLIP instead? Easy enough.. when you go above the KB, make a little loop then go back down to “a.” That loop above the keyboard tells Swype you want everying in CAPS.
.
The loops and my name remind me… how do you make the two “L’s” in Callip? You simply do a little loop over the “L” before moving to “I.” My name will not be in your dictionary, so maybe practice with a more common word, or, add it to your dictionary since you know how to now!
.
Apostrophes. Common ones don’t even need to have a hiccup, ie, “I’m”… just go from “I” > “apostrophe” (the period) > “M”… done. if you are adding a “‘s” to a word, just swype the word, then start at the apostrophe and go to “S”, ie, that’s cool Callip would be “that” followed by a swype from the period (apostrophe) to the “s” = that’s.
.
Alright, I think that covers most of the tips I know for Swype. If you tips that I have missed, PLEASE let me know in the comments. I hope you guys benefited from this long ramble. Let me know! To finish this article off, here are some videos from Swype, enjoy!

wow, that surprises me.. but if it works, please someone confirm and let me know. That would be amazing. Not sure why updating from the old installer would not work, but it didn't for me.. of course, I did not remove swype before using the old installer to update.

If you remove all of swype from root explorer then try to update using the old installer, it auto updates everything the installer, then asks you to login, then installs new swype.
I followed your method, and it worked.
The TB method has never worked for me so i didn't even waste my time trying this time.
Videos added and formatted a bit.

I initially tried just updating from the installer as well and it didn't work for me either, The reason I did not delete all the files through Root Explorer was that there were several files listed at database and entries in the Dalvik Cache. I didn't want to delete those unless absolutely necessary. So I gave TB a chance, figuring I could always go back and delete everything through root explorer if it didn't work.
It worked great for me to uninstall through TB and then use the Swype Installer, only took about 1 min. to go through the process.
Tried as suggested and swype tells me "sorry you do not have an android device"....well WTF do I have then!!!!! Anyways it won't work. Still stuck on the ****ty stock keyboard until someone comes up with a solution.

If downloading from your phone browser, make certain the user agent is set to Android, and not acting like a pc browser.
Pretty slick..I'm lovin' it.
Here's what I did..
1. Enable Root Function w/ Super Manager Free
2. Go to Root>System>App
3. Delete Swype.apk
4. Download/Install installer via phone
5. Open Installer
6. I picked full beta but w/e.
Odd thing... went to super manager, deleted swype.apk, several other files but left the swype installer.
Went into the installer, checked version, signed in, downloaded eng/Spanish, clicked install, and it says "application not installed". Tried again same result. Any ideas?
Oh yeah when I installed first time it said its a system app, am I sure I want to replace?
Anyhoo... any ideas? Guess I can get rid of the installer too, but seems kind of pointless ...

[Q] Xenta Bluetooth Keyboard

Hey guys!
Firstly, I wanna say that I'm a complete Android noob... so I'm sorry if this question is silly or an easy fix- I don't mean to waste anyone's time!
I bought a Xenta Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Stand Combo [even though it said it's for iPads, it also said that it works with some Android devices, so I decided to take a chance], and although I've managed to successfully pair the keyboard with my Eee Pad Transformer [and it shows up as a Bluetooth keyboard], I'm not able to type with it.
Would you happen to know of any way I could make this work, or would I need to return this, and hunt around for another stand/keyboard combo?
I must say, though, the Eee Pad fits the keyboard/stand very well, and it would make a great replacement for the standard Eee Pad Dock if it would just work!
Thanks in advance, and once again, sorry if I've asked a stupid question!
I am thinking of buying it too for my transformer. After paired go to keyboard and languages settings and select it as default input, try also holding down any space where you can write untill it promps you with input method selection.
let me know if that worked.
Is it a HID keyboard ?
Because my many years old ThinkOutside Bluetooth Stowaway HID keyboard works just fine.

I just received one today. It paired with no problem, BUT will NOT input to the TF101 !!!
It does NOT appear in the Keyboard/Settings ! It is shown as CONNECTED in the Wireless settings! Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for the delay, guys. I managed to get it to work!
Basically, you need to pair the keyboard and the tablet, then download BlueKeyboardJP from Android Market.
After it's installed, enable BlueKeyboardJP from the "Language and Input" settings. BlueKeyboardJP [by default, I think] should attempt to connect to the keyboard automatically when you touch a text-entry field. So press the 'pair' button on the bottom of the keyboard again, touch a text-entry field, and the keyboard should connect and [hopefully] work perfectly!
It managed to do it with mine, and I found that, when choosing a keyboard map in BlueKeyboard, US works best, rather than any other settings.
Hope this helps!
If I'm honest, it's a very good stand and they keyboard works well. I made a few modifications to the stand part to enable it to sit back a bit more [otherwise the tablet was almost vertical when in landscape mode], but other than that, it works very well. It's very secure, and it makes a great alternative to the Asus Keyboard- especially if you don't want to lug an extra unit with a battery around.

How do you did it? That is, download BlueKeyboardJP.
I cannot find it via market (it's blocked for Asus Transformer) and using market web site neither allow me to donwload since none of my devices (HTC hero, HTC Desire or Asus Transformer) is compatible with it.
Any way to download .APK file from somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Where has "Input Method" gone?

I'm fighting trying to get an external Bluetooth keyboard to work with my device, but in doing so have discovered that I no longer have "Input Method" under "Language and keyboard settings". Can anyone please advise how to get it back?
I don't use an external keyboard, but I have never seen input method in the Language and keyboard settings page.
To change the input method you have to long press in any text box.
More info here on setting the default keyboard. The article was written for a different phone, but the principals are the same.
I am not sure if using an external keyboard works differently.
Sorry I shouldn't have confused the issue by mentioning the external keyboard. Forget the external keyboard! I do have second soft keyboard installed (Swype), so there ought to be an "Input Method" menu to allow me to select between it and the Android Keyboard.
However ... long-pressing within text boxes does indeed bring up the Input method menu, so at least I have a workaround. Many thanks for that.
I am a keyboard junkie and have eight keyboards installed and have never seen an input method setting on the Language and keyboard settings page.

Since that article was published in Aygust of 2010 I would guess that that setting was part of Dell's Android 1.6 rom on the Streak. My Streak was shipped to me with Android 2.2 so I have never used the 1.6 rom. Looking at some of the pics in the other guides on that site it looks like 1.6 to me.
Here is the keyboard guide at StreakSmart
You know what, I think you've just answered my question. That's where it disappeared to, then; when I upgraded from 1.6 to 2.2!
Many thanks indeed

It's all perception. Since you had 1.6, the setting disappeared. Since I never had 1.6 I wasn't missing what I didn't have. Glad you figured it out and, as usual, the discussion taught me something.
Ditto. Totally
