I have the new keyboard book cover with my Tab s4. The input language is set to UK but keys like the pound sign and @ sign are not mapped to the appropriate keys. Is there a driver issue or am I missing something?
Thanks
I don't see that issue here, but I'm English US on my end. I did switch to UK English, and I see what you're saying that's odd. I kind of understand the pound (# vs £), but the @ issue seems super strange to me. Have you reached out to Samsung? There might need to be some kind of software update from their end.
For that matter, I hope they drop the "Shift+Space" for language selection. There's already a language key, so aside from it being pointless, it messes me up a lot when I don't let go of Shift fast enough after typing "I". I thought I was going crazy for a bit until I figured that out. lol
I assume the book cover is the original one from Samsung so in order to set up the proper layout check the settings "General management / Language and input/ language/ English (united kingdom)" that the language is English (United Kindgom). Also, go to the physical keyboard "General management / Language and input/ language/Physical Keyboard/ Samsung Keyboard (Uk)". That's the way I have it and works flawlessly. Let me know if that works.
I thought this thread was about actual key remapping. I'd love to remap that language key to something more useful, like getting to the home screen. I'd also like to remap the language shortcut, ctrl+space. And lastly, I keep hitting ] instead of backspace, and it's driving me nuts. Any idea if these keys are remappable?
This app might help, there's a free demo version.

The little language switcher button on Photons stock Swype keyboard drives me insane i bump it all the time(clumsy fingers) and it takes a while to get my keyboard back to English, is there another Swype keyboard that i can use that wont have this?! It is honestly the biggest flaw i see with this device. Or is there perhaps a few files i can edit within the phone so the button doesn't do anything? I do like the capabilities of Swype, just hate this language button, guess its what happens when i get a global phone.. Thanks!
Seconded!
I have this problem, too. And what's with the "post too short" error?
hi people
was just typing an email earlier and i realised that the @ button is in the wrong place. when i press [email protected] i get a " instead, these two keys seem to be in the wrong position. i was just wondering if this is same on all the keyboards and if it can be corrected.
thanks

...that's just the british keyboard layout lol.
Go into settings, select language and input, then double check everything is set correctly to your local language.
This issue occurs if you have the incorrect language setup, for instance in the UK if you set it to 'English (United States)" then you get the @ when you press shift 2 instead of getting a ".
Also make sure you actually select the ASUS keyboard as the current one.
If you select a different keyboard (like Thumbkeyboard or Swype) the virtual keylayout will reset to en_US.
See my thread here for a permanent fix for this issue.

Hello everyone.
I've recently bought my dad the prime with a keyboard dock and I can't find a quick and easy way to change the input language of the keyboard when it's docked.
There is an option to change the device's language to our local one (Hebrew if that matters), but then it changes everything to Hebrew.
I just want the device's language to be English and have something like alt+shift to switch between the languages when it's docked.
However, so far it's either stuck on English (if the device's language is set to English), or alternates randomly between Hebrew and English (probably depends on the context of the text) with no real way to change it.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to solve this?
Well, apparently ctrl+space does the trick when the keyboard is docked, at least for me.

if you go to ASUS keyboard setting, and only check Hebrew keyboard (without English Keyboard), you can simply switch back and forth between English and Hebrew by pressing alt key which is right next to space bar.
when alt key is pressed, it shows which keyboard has activated via little dialog box on the center of the screen.
This is the control + shift hassle free of doing it.
Ok, so I've been searching around and trying different things but I still cannot get this to work like I expected: how can I use the physical keyboard on my Prime to type accented words without changing the keyboard layout?
On Windows I can get this done easily if I configure my keyboard layout as "US-International" and the input language as "Portuguese (Brazil)" (which is the language I want to type in). This way, when I press the single quote key, for instance, the system waits for the next typed letter to decide what to do: if I type a letter which accepts an accent (such as "a"), Windows will add the letter with the accent (in this case, "á"), otherwise it will just add the single quote.
On my Prime, if I change the default input language of the ASUS keyboard to Portuguese, I am able to type accented words but the keyboard layout is also changed to the Brazilian standard. This causes a problem: the positions of some keys are changed (about 8 of them). I could memorize the new positions of the keys, this would be fine except for the fact that I can't type question marks or slashes with this layout! (at least I didn't find any way to do so)
Then I tried using Swiftkey X, if I choose that as the default input method (with the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary enabled) and type using the physical keyboard I don't even need to type the accents because the auto-correct feature takes care of that for me, this is very good but there are some problems with this method:
- When typing question marks or exclamation points at the end of the sentences, the last word in the sentence ends up getting capitalized since I need to hold the "Shift" key to type those marks (I can work around this problem by typing the word, then a space and then the question mark or exclamation).
- If I need to type a word which is only one accented letter, depending on what the prediction engine does I might have to manually choose the right prediction by touching the screen (it gets the job done, but it's a little annoying). We have a few words like this in Portuguese, such as the word "é" which is used often (it means "is", while the word "e" means "and", that's why the prediction engine might suggest either of them).
Anyway, hopefully you guys understand the problem and have a good suggestion for me.
Currently I think the best solution is to use Swiftkey X and live with the small annoyances I mentioned (I'll e-mail them and maybe suggest they make improvements for this), but does anyone know of any other way I could make the physical keyboard on my Prime behave like the one on my Windows laptop?
Thanks in advance!
I re-posted this on the Q&A section (because that seems to be the correct one), please delete this thread and sorry about that
I don't know if this helps, but in Spanish, if you use a different software keyboard (like Swype, or others), this breaks the configuration of the physical keyboard and you can't use special spanish keys like Ñ. The solution is to root the device and edit a system file.
By the way, my keyboard is localized to spanish language, so I have no problems with it. Is your keyboard localized to portuguese?
Do you mean my physical keyboard? It's the US version, if I try to type "é" like I do in Windows (I type the single quote " ' " and then " e "), I end up getting " 'e ".
If I switch the language of the ASUS keyboard to Portuguese, it works like in Windows but there's the problem of the remapped key layout.
I read about the rooting solution you mentioned, perhaps that might work if I use it with the ASUS keyboard configured for Portuguese, I could change the layout to match that of the US keyboard. Problem is, I just bought the tablet and I'd lose my warranty, or is there a way to unroot it if I needed to?
Maybe you could type those letters by entering their ascii code.
I don't know if there's an unroot method, you should check in the development forums.

That's a good suggestion, but I don't know if it would be too practical since quite a lot of words in portuguese use accented letters, but thanks anyway!
I think I'll root my Prime and then use the ASUS Portuguese keyboard with remapped keys...

Nice Work! Its really a gret update for our beloved Watch.
It is possible you add Portuguese (BR) in the next update?
Thanks. Greetings from Brazil!

Hey, thanks for the kind words, I'll look into it tomorrow, but can you provide t9 example for your language in order to it be usable?

I have been using this app the whole day and must say this app should be one of the must-have APKs to our watch, alongside with Amazmod and Greatfit.
Nice job!
As an improvement, It is possible to make the first letter in the sentence an auto caps? Also, the same applies to the first letter after a dot (.).
Unfortunate, I searched around and could not find a image of T9 Portuguese keyboard to show you ):
But I will try to explain the differences the best way I can with my limited english. Please let me know if I could not express myself clear enough. I will try best next time.
Here it goes:
The Brazilian Portuguese Keyboard uses almost the exactly same letters and symbols than in english keyboard. And in the same position too.
In addition, we have the following letters: Á, Ã, É, Ê, Í, Ó, Õ Ú, Ç
The biggest difference, as you can see, is that we use accents in the vowels in certain words. And we have the addition of Ç
For that fact, some T9 keyboard make the the "number 2" button as follows: "ABC", and when you long press the button, it show the alternate letter: Á, Ã, Ç.
The same goes for the button 3 (DEF), when you long press it, it show the alternate letter: É, Ê
When you long press Button 4 (GHI), it shows Í
When you long press Button 6 (MNO) it shows Ó Õ
When you long press Button 8 (TUV), it show Ú
That's abou it.
And, finally, some T9 Keyboards put all those alternate letter in the symbol category. In that case, they could be accessibly by swapping UP, just like you did with the symbol options.
So both option explained above would work great for our language.
Please let me know if I can help with more information.
Obrigado.
