Some ROM have the stock keyb modified so that numbers and symbols are shown along with aplha keys and can be typed by long-pressing the keys.
Is it available as a standalone apk/zip ? I hate having to switch to numeric/symbol kb mode just to get a number/symbol entered into a password field etc.
What language are you using?
I noticed on stock keyboard when keyboard language is set to English you get quick symbol on keyboard. But when I set it to French there aren't any symbols.
English/US
Since I got the N10, I tied 3 different ROMs - 2 didn't have this convenience feature in their keyboard and one did ...

Go to Settings/Language & input and then touch the settings Sliders next to ‘Android keyboard.’ Next, touch ‘Advanced settings’ and touch ‘Custom input styles.’ It will say Deutsch and Francais, but you can ignore that. Touch ‘Add Style’ near the upper right. Then select your language and change the layout from QWERTY to ‘PC’ or one of the other styles. Now touch ‘Add’ and you’ll see your new style appear in the list. Touch ‘Enable’ and use the back key to go back to the Language & input screen. Now touch ‘Input languages’ near the top and uncheck ‘Use system language.’ Lastly, touch ‘English (US) (PC)’ and you’re done.

Hello,
I've been quite disappointed with the HTC Keyboard on my European Hero (currently on 2.73.405.whatever firmware). In almost all cases in QWERTY mode it does not do any auto-correction of any type, even if I have prediction and spell checking turned on in the settings. It only offers auto-correction when I am in a multi-line input such as sending a text message or a textarea in a website . When it does work, it works well and I can type really efficiently. But in most text fields such a Google search box, etc, it gives me no auto-correction and I have to type each key exactly.
Strangely enough, in compact qwerty and keypad mode it always works, but in QWERTY mode it doesn't. Also I've tried TouchPal (a replacement keyboard) and it works all the time in TouchPal. But I would like it working on the stock HTC keyboard.
I just spotted a screenshot on some blog showing the auto-correction box working in a one-line textbox in QWERTY mode (the Google search box)!

Note the popup box with the orange pill-button and + key.
Has that one been hacked so correction always works, or is mine showing some software bug?
How can I get mine to do this?
same issue here, I wrote to htc support and waiting for an answer
Hi, I have noticed the same thing, it is probably a bug. Actually, the t9 doesnt work for me even in compact qwerty and phone keypad. Are you sure it does for you? i am running the latest fw too, 2.73.405.5 wwe.
Anybody in this forum can help?
So I recently installed CM 6.1.3 and it works great and its amazing
but I cannot change the keyboard language :S
I added the arabic language to the keyboard in the setting and it says to swipe space to change language... I swipe and nothing happens :S
Any help ?
Hold you finger little bit longer and then swipe.
Nop it doesn't work :S
If I keep pressing it just makes spaces across the message
Do you have any video or something showing how?
I can't find one on youtube and i can't make one by my own. But tell me, do you see on your space bar two opposite arrows and a name of the language currently using?
Perhaps this picture will help!

No I only see one language above the space bar no arrows
If you press and hold the space bar the arrows will show up and than just slide it over to desired language. Hope you figure it out

Btw, did you choose more than 1 language in the Android keyboard settings?
Menu/Settings/Language & Keyboard/Android keyboards settings/Input languages and tick languages which you want.
I did but I know what the problem is now :S
I think there is no keyboard for arabic language, I tried other languages and It worked and I was able to switch between the languages
I downloaded a separate keyboard for arabic
Thanks Guys!

I have this problem to when i scroll down window with signs it locks up and i can't move it but when scroll and hold finger all the time this problem does'tt exist
It's a permament bug. You can't do anything to fix it.
But not all roms have this bug so this is possible to fix it?
The solution on this problem is to rotate your screen/use the slide keyboard then use back again the onscreen keyboard. This happens when you scroll up or scroll down on the symbols menu. If you don't want to be stucked again then better to not scroll up and down to its max, just put a little space when scrolling.
Problemi with external keyboard
I have an X10 MINI PRO. The problem with the external keyboard is that, when i press the 'S' button, it writes 'SC'; when i press the 'F' button it writes 'FV'.
Is this problem connected with the SuquashiInputMethod ?
I installed the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088595
I follow all the instructions to set the keyboard but it doesn't work properly.
I don't know if I have to install a fix, or if the problem depends on my hardware device....
Thankyou for your help!
It looks like Google is ignoring a major bug with Chrome for Android.
Quoting the bugs:
- On phones/tablets that have a physical keyboard like our Xperia Pro do not get the option for a soft, on-screen keyboard when tapping a text field.
- When using the physical keyboard, the option to press 'shift' and 'alt' once or twice to get a capital letter (and caps lock) or numbers/symbols respectively is not available; you are being forced to hold either shift or alt if you want a capital letter or a number/symbol.
- If a text field can only input numbers, like a PIN code, Chrome does not default to numerical input from the physical keyboard, instead allowing any form of input.
- You cannot start typing from the page to enter a new url/search. So for example, I'm browsing and I want to search for 'youtube'. I cannot simple start typing this, instead I have to click the address bar, wait while it adjusts and then I can start typing. Not a big deal at first, but gets really annoying over time.
Here's a screenshot

Please go to the bug thread on Google here:
https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/chrome/lfOtoDf4G2o/4lt0z6gvU8oJ
And click "ME TOO!", let's push Google to fix this bug. I still don't know how they can label a product out of beta with this kind of bug.
Hehe you quoted me.
But yeah, Chrome cannot be 'out of beta' with this kind of flaw!
Guys, this bug has been finally fixed
Thanks Google!

Hi I just bought a HTC Desire X and I want to have the phone keyboard in my language (Icelandic) but I can't somehow. I have installed both Smart Keyboard Pro and Icelandic for smart keyboard pro. I have found Icelandic in Language & Keyboard - Smart Keyboard Pro - Language - Current language and Language selection key. Still some letters do not show up like Ð/ð and Þ/þ which are Icelandic only letters and should be there because they are very common in Icelandic.
Can anyone help me with this because it's frustrating to type in d instead of ð and th for þ?

After translating some of the comments for Iceclandic for Smart Keyboard it looks like a number of people are having the same problem. The problem must be with the language itself.
You might want to try one of these keyboards which support Icelandic:
Scandinivian Keyboard
MultiLing Keyboard
SlideIT free Keyboard
