A useful tipp for people writing in several languages:
when working in landscape mode with the keyboard tilted out, you might wish to change the input language (and recognition) without having to close the keyboard and selecting it from the soft keyboard. Playing around I discovered that you can achieve this by pressing the FN key followed by the SYM key.
Enjoy!

HI,
I've recently installed russian rom from i-mate on my wizard. However, I have a problem with the sliding keyboard. The problem is that when I start typing using the slide out keyboard it types in latin letters (English). However, once I press the dot key (key used for changing to symbol typing) it starts typing using cyrilic letters (russian). And then there is no way to change it back. Only the soft reset can change it back to latin(english). But after pressing the dot key the problem occurs again.
Is there any way to be able to change the language back to english? Or remove the russian language at all so that I could always use latin letters.
Thanks
Does anyone know of a tweak, hack or app that would do the following:
I want to be able to switch more easily between Phone keypad entry with XT9 enabled and QWERTY in ABC mode.
What I mean is that when you come across a word not in the dictionary it’s pretty fiddly to change to ABC and then use your fingernail to call up the change input method screen to QWERTY. I’d like to be able to hit the XT9/ABC toggle and have it automatically switch from Phone keypad to QWERTY at the same time. Another good use would be if you’re merrily typing away in XT9 phone keypad mode and hit the ‘+’ to add a new word to the dictionary – it would be cool if it changed momentarily to QWERTY to allow you to enter the word and then shifted back into XT9/Phone Keypad automatically when finished.
I know it sounds lazy, but I really think this would make the text input much more ergonomic.
Any ideas?
no-one? Seriously?
I wonder is this in the wrong forum??
*bumpety bump*
google nusipstylus.
that will do the trick.
When you pull out the stylus you can enter on a full keyboard and when you put the stylus back in you get the htc keyboard.
here it is...
Hi
Thanks a million for the response.
However, I've found that app made my device agonisingly slow.
In any case, I think this is somewhat of a retrograde step. I was actually after someone to mod the HTC keyboards to just allow a quick toggle between XT9 and ABC that would default back after you hit the space key.
I really appreciate you taking the time to send me the .cab, but I'm afraid it's not quite what I was looking for.
Hi!
I have an issue with the word selector list when using the Full QWERTY layout in XT9 mode. If I use the phone keypad or the Compact QWERTY layout words with special characters like æ, ø or å are suggested automatically.
For example hitting the "mno" key and then the "jkl" key on the Phone Keypad will suggest the word "øl" (among others), which by the way means beer in Norwegian. With the Compact QWERTY keyboard the special Norwegian characters are included included in the layout (on the buttons "opå" and "møæ"). Using those keys works also perfectly well.
But on the Full QWERTY keyboard words with special characters are not suggested, unless I tap and hold for example the "o" key and manually slide to the letter "ø".
So to type "øl" I need to tap and hold "o", slide to "ø" and then tap the "l" button. Is there anyway I can get the Full QWERTY keyboard to behave like the two others, and suggest words with the special character "ø" when only hitting the "o" key?
Regards,

I have a problem. I have HTC G1 (dream) and writting in polish is pain in ass. Every time i want to put a polish sign in text i have to long press keyboard button (software and hardware keyoboard). I want to buy asus transformer, but there will be the same problem. I was thinking that maybe there is an app for changing ALT directions in android (g1 has a Alt button, bot for shortcuts and other symbols like "|" but not for polish signs (sic!)) but i found nothing on forum, and on market. Maybe you have some ideas?
hi, im making a custom rom for the droid pro which has a blackberry style keyboard. the buttons when regularly pressed (not using alt) work fine, however when alt is pressed, the symbols do not come up as what the keyboard says their function is to do so. can somebody help me map out the characters? i tried to build the kcm.bin file from android source but it didnt change anything...
