Hi all,
Up to here I've tested 3 USB keyboards, all AZERTY and they all act as QWERTY :-(
Looking on the play store I found an app (External Keyboard Helper) and I've tried everything : using French and English layouts, re-assigning each key, etc. and nothing works.
It really pi**es me off because everything else works fine : volume controls, play/pause/next/back, etc. but it's impossible to write with this problem.
If anyone else has the same problem, please let me know. Even better, if one of you thinks he has a solution or workaround PLEASE answer.
Thanks all.
Benoit BAUDRIN
Solutions ?
If you are rooted (not my case yet), try this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082408
If not, you can try External Keyboard Helper (didn't work for me) or UpSoft Clavier AZERTY on Play Store (1,50€, will maybe try and give feedback).
Admins, I'm leaving this as it might help future people that encounter the same problem. If ou think it's useless feel free to delete.
Thanks
EDIT : None of these solutions worked for me... :-( Will try again once I update to ICS and root.

Hello together!
May you can help me? I ordered a KeySonic ACK-3400BT bluetooth-keyboard. The pairing with the device worked without any trouble. The first issue i found, ist that my device and my BT-Keyboard are German, but the WM6.5 interprets the external keyboard as english (y and z are switched). OK, but with that i can live. The bigger problem is, if i open the internal hardware-keyboard and try to use the external Keyboard, the whole keymap is wrested. For example i cant write anything else then letters with shift. Every key reqires the FN-Key ist usable external.
Anyone has a tip for me? Thx for helping!
Phil
Thanks for reading the thread,I pray you could help me.
My min pro update by SEUS yesterday,Build number is 2.1.1.A.0.6.I'm so hapy for update but I fond some problems suddently.
First,my pro's don't have input of chinese,only the one that ABC type. I'm Chinese,don't have Chinese input I can't sent messages to my friends around.Where can I find the APK of Chinese input?
Second,the bluetooth didn't work!!!I feel sad for that...I can open the Bluetooth,can find other phone,but couldn't sent documents by it.What should I do?
I'm very glad even thought you can not help me but read the thread carefully,because my English is very poor!!!Thank you. And I should write the same mean by Chinese:
感谢大家看这篇帖子，我祈祷你们能帮助我。
我的 min pro 昨天通过官方升级，版本是 2.1.1.A.0.6。一开始我很高兴能够升级，但突然间我发现系统存在一些问题。
一、系统没有自带中文输入法，没有中文输入法我无法跟周围的朋友交流。我能在哪找到中文输入法的apk安装包？
二、蓝牙不起作用。我感到一些伤心。蓝牙可以开启，可以配对别的手机。但是，不能够发送文件。 我该怎么办？？
你能把这篇帖子仔细读完我非常开心，即使你没有能够帮助我，因为我的英语水平很差。我应该把这篇帖子的中文写下来。
谢谢。

Hey,
OK so first things first download the attached htc_IME.apk and install that into /system/app folder. hopefully you should then be able to get chinese input. If not then im sorry i can't help, hopefully someone else here can.
Now for the bluetooth problem, download systemapp remover and uninstall the original bluetooth.apk, then go to the market and download the bluetooth file transfer .apk by MEDEVIL SOFTWARE and install that, it doesnt need to be installed into /system/app, it should work them same in /data/app.
I've attached both bluetoothfiletransfer.apk and htc_IME.apk
Cheers,
Jeremy.
p.s. I hope you understand, not too sure what your english is like but goodluck.
I've done it what your said,but it didn't work. HTCIme just have ABCinput.The bluetooth I'll try it when I'm free.
Anyway,thank you!!!!!!

Cheers bro,
Yes this did work for me. Had to get one of my mates to check it for me. I should have asked him if there were different versions of the chinese language there but i didnt think about it. But in any case it should be all good.
Peace,
evilbarcode.
Or simply search for sogou input in market. It should be there for chinene input.
Cheers.

Hi folks,
someone considered an 'authority' on the SE forum told me here to go on and flash the Global Generic firmware on my phone, to get rid of branding. He confirmed that I should not lose my AZERTY hardware keyboard.
This goes contrary to how I believe hardware keyboards work. (which is, that they're all the same except that they look differently on the outside, and that the translation from button 1 to A or Q is done by a keyboard driver; and that the Global Generic will not know that my keyboard is supposed to be AZERTY and therefore I'll lose hardware keyboard functionality)
Am I right or am I wrong?

Thanks Raph4,
I found another post of you where you linked to quite a number of ftf files. Do you have a source of these? I'm interested in knowing more about the region codes (trying to compile a list for people who wish to edit their build.prop to force OTA or SEUS updates instead of using 3rd party tools)
In any case, I'll add the region codes you posted there to my thread here.
Hi. I'm swedish and have since the update to Android 11 with OneUI3.1 noticed that no keyboard layout with changes to the non letter keys work. Dvorak, colemak and AZERTY and the like seem to work though.
Has anyone any info on a fix for this? or have you experinced similar issues?.

I'm trying to use an external Bluetooth keyboard and my Find N language is set to English. But since I need to have Portuguese layout, I have installed SwiftKey and the layout is in Portuguese (no problem with that).
When I connect and pair my external keyboard (also with Portuguese layout), I can only write with the English layout on the external keyboard. So, I went to Android external keyboard layout and set it to Portuguese but I cannot use the Portuguese layout on the external keyboard.
I also check the configuration on SwiftKey keyboard and removed all layouts except Portuguese, but the external keyboard still "writes" in English. I downloaded, from PlayStore the extra layouts and apply it to android, same issue, no Portuguese layout.
Thinking that SwiftKey had some problem, I changed the default keyboard to Oppo's Baidu keyboard, but it's the same issue. Also in Baidu keyboard, I changed the layout to one of the available layouts but the keyboard still is using English layout.
Then, I tried a USB keyboard (not Bluetooth) with Portuguese layout and the same issue happens. Also, I made the same tests as mentioned above.
The problem is that, in the past, I was able to use Portuguese layout on my external keyboard, but after a reboot, I'm not able to change it, despite all configurations saying Portuguese layout.
So, my question: did anyone had a similar issue using external keyboards with different layout than English? Is there any adb command I can use to force a different layout on the external keyboard?
No one has this same issue?

Omg I do.
Did you find out the solution already?
Your problem is exactly the same as mine.
Ctrl+Space or whatever doesn't seem to be working.
It always stays at English. Please help
I wasn't able to fix the issue without doing a full reset. I tried to install a new set of keyboard layouts/keymap, but none worked for me. Since I had the upgrade to Android 13 available, I took the new version, but even then it didn't work. In the end, the solution was to full reset the device. After that, everything was working fine. My little understanding is that "something" (App or file) got "damaged" and the phone wasn't able to use the correct keymap, even after installing different keymaps.
By the way, one thing I noticed, when I had the problem, my Bluetooth gamepad also stopped working fine, so, I suspect it had something to do with the gamepad.
