Are there any other chinese streak users out there? I want to find either a keyboard or app that I can use to type chinese. I speak cantonese so the google pinyin ime is not an option for me as that uses mandarin pronunciation. Is there one that uses cantonese pronunciation or one where i can draw on the screen instead?
Thanks in advance.
go to market n download 'HKIME' it supports cantonese pronunciation and handwriting recognition
Have you tried hanwriting? It has handwriting recognition, dunno about typing IME part though
I downloaded Smart Keyboard Pro and installed the Chinese keyboard along with the English. As regards to drawing on the screen, I believe there might be some files around from an HTC phone that has the touch screen Chinese IME input.
I was wondering if there was a way to add Japanese as an language input for the Android keyboard? By default, there is no option to add Japanese as a llanguage input, and all other keyboards that have it are either ugly, don't have ICS as an optional theme or just too much, I prefer the stock Android keyboard on ICS over anything else and I'm sure there are some of you that agree. It would be nice to have this and other possible languages as optional languages on this keyboard.

Google Japanese Input Beta is what I use when I need to type in Japanese, but I too would prefer it if it could be part of the language selection within natural ICS settings.
Before updating my Sensation from Gingerbread to ICS, I could Long-press in they text field for the popup menu to appear, from which i could change between English and Japanese with no hassle.
After the ICS update, I keep on needing to go into settings>Language and Keyboard>Keyboard and input methods>Select Japanese. Bloody annoying, having to do this, especially if the sms's I receive keep on alternating between Japanese and English....
Anything I am missing out on here?

I am using Google IME Beta on stock ICS 4.0.4. I can switch between English and Japanese by long-pressing the spacebar (on the English keyboard) or the bottom left key (on the Japanese keyboard) and changing to the other language in the popup dialog.
Hi everyone!
Is there any way to change my DX's keyboard from QWERTZ to QWERTY?
I bought this device a few weeks ago, but I wasn't told that it was coming with a QWERTZ keyboard. To be honest, it's not a real problem to me, as I've almost got used to it.
I just want to know if there is any way to change it...
If I go to "Keyboard types", the default choice is "Standard". Changing it to "Phone" or "Compact", will make the keyboard QWERTY, but it will also affect the keyboard layout, making it difficult (for me) to use.
Downloading (for example) a third-party keyboard from the market, will turn it into a QWERTY keyboard, or there will be no changes?
I'd also like to ask, if I'm going to face any king of problems when flashing unofficial ROM's.
Well, you can just choose another keyboard language, by single pressing the button with the country's letters, for example: if you live in France, it shows: FR, just press it till the qwertz changes to qwerty

Thanks for the answer! I just checked that!
It's true that by changing the keyboard to my country's one (GR), the keyboard turns to qwerty. But the the Greek letters are not are not the same as the Latin ones, so unfortunately it does not help.
I also changed the English language to French (cause they have the same characters), but the keyboard remained qwertz.
Go to settings>language & keyboard>HTC Sense input>keyboard selection, when you scroll completely down, it will show some other keyboards, I don't know the Greek keyboard, but I think it's somewhere there

At keyboard selection, all I can see (except for the toggle keyboard option) is about selecting different languages. No option for qwerty there.
I'm gonna send a mail at htc support, and if I'll find a solution about this, I'll immediately post it here.
In HTC Sense input, first the top button: keyboard selection, then scroll down as much as you can, there you'll see different types of keyboards

Yeap, this is excactly where I went! The only thing I can do there is add/remove languages from my keyboard.
But...
At HTC Sense Input, there is an "Advanced Settings" option, where I change the keyboard type. The problem is that by changing the type to "Phone" or "Compact", it changes to qwerty (at Compact type), but the whole keyboard's layout is completely different.

But, when you choose France for example, it shows a azerty keyboard, when you choose German, a qwertz keyboard, choose Dutch, a QWERTY keyboard, just try them out.

If you want greek letters, you press microphone buttons till you get greek. If you want QWERTY press the mic till you get english or anu other qwerty language.

HTC replied to me a few hours ago, and they told me that the only way to change it to a qwerty keyboard, is by installing a third party keyboard from Play Store.
I was planning to buy SwiftKey 3 Keyboard the previous days (when it was on 50% sale), but I postponed it, cause I thought that it was going to be similar (qwertz) to the stock.

This doesn't happen in my case. Don't know why, but if I choose French (or German or Italian) I will still have a the exact same (qwertz) keyboard. No changes at all!

My problem is that I cannot get qwerty keyboard with English (or other similar Latin) language selected.
When I press the mic in order to choose Greek, the keyboard turns to "qwerty", but when I change back to English (or other identical Latin keyboards), the keyboard becomes qwertz again!
Weird... Well, use the SwiftKey keyboard if it fixes the problem...
Hey folks,
after updating to temasek's unofficial CM 10.2 everything except focal and SwiftKey works, which is quiet amazing for such an early nightly.
I just can't get why SwiftKey wont save my setting, actually it's only the keyboard layout which it won't remember.
I'm german and i type english a lot, obviously, but of course i'm used to the german keyboard layout QWERTZ.
Whenever i choose English (US) beside my first language German it changes the layout for both to QWERTY.
When i change it back to QWERTZ it's fine for a short time. After a few hours or a reboot its back to QWERTY. It's killing me.
I would change to another keyboard, but i don't know of a keyboard which can operate bilingual without the need to change between these languages and with the layout i want and provides me with good swype functionality and spell correction as well, do you?!
Hope someone can help me!
Thanks in advance,
cheers
Hi all
Has anybody changed their tablet's firmware to that of a different region which has a different keyboard layout? If so, did the keyboard layout continue to match the markings on the keys?
Alternatively, can anybody confirm if all keyboard layouts are listed somewhere in the settings, and you can choose which keyboard layout you want to use regardless of what is printed on the keys?
Thanks!
Keyboard layouts should not have anything to do with your tablet region but with what language you've chosen as default language for that said keyboard. It's something you can change within the language and keyboard setting.

OK, great. Thanks so much for the confirmation! I've not used an Android tablet with a keyboard since Ice Cream Sandwich was the latest release, and that didn't include any keyboard language settings that I can remember. (Although saying that, I never looked for them as I had a US tablet and keyboard, so I didn't need them.) So I really wasn't sure how this would work.
Thanks so much for the info!
