My keyboard is SWITCHED? - Please respond!

So I decided to buy the used, unlocked Fuze that I posted my question about earlier (in another post). Now that I've started to use this phone, I realized something weird about it... The keyboard that's on the phone doesnt match what it's typing out... FOR EXAMPLE.. there is not the numerical row at the top, however when I used the top row (which has only symbols, etc) it DOES TYPE the NUMBERS... can i configure this, or did somebody replace the keyboard...
It also has a black circle on the back inside of the phone that says VOID!!... I'm thinking that his phone might have been wet before? or not..
PLEASE RESPOND... ANY HELP WILL BE GREAT (don't tease me..)
EDIT: Here is what's going on with my keyboard..
This is the keyboard on my Fuze (standard At&t keyboard).

This is what ACTUALLY types out when I use my keyboard (mainly the # keys and SYMBOLS are different).

Im guessing a Stock TP rom flashed to a fuze. Get total commander, then navigate to \\plugins>registry>HKLM>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>KEYBD>CWSLayout and change the value to 1

Jaszek,
thanks for the response.. I'm very unexperienced with hacking/modding phones, and I'm not sure where to find "total commander", and I don't know how to do that in my settings. Do you think you could help walk me throught it.. or point me to a webpage
thanks.

You're going to need to use your USB cable or microSD card to get the CAB file onto your phone. Once it's installed and running, navigate to \\plugins>registry>HKLM>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>KEYBD>C WSLayout and change the value to 1.

Whats a safe site to download this file, and also.. can I put the .cab file anywhere on the micro sd card (or through the usb cable) or do I need to have it somewhere specific?
Thanks again guys (or gals).

download the one that says fuze keyboard cab just copy the cab anywhere on your phone or micro sd
then click it in file explorer let it install and your keyboard will be fine
you may have to soft reset (hit the button on the bottom with the stylus)

PROBLEM SOLVED.. THANK YOU SO MUCH... lbhocky19 you're a bad motha'...

Awesome Drop

New app just popped up, 'Awesome Drop'. You just open the app on your phone, then go to http://labs.dashwire.com/drop and put the access code from the page onto your phone and drop files right into your browser and they get transfered to your phone. No account, just simple file transfer wherever you are.

neat, thanks

useful if you don't have the usb cable with you

This can be used to send files I have to my friends with Android phones. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

This is great, just hope the site is able to stay up from the strain of a lot of concurrent file transfers.

Yeah I've had this for a little while, it's handy for transferring small files, but I noticed it tends to choke/hang on files over 100 megs.

How?

it's a one way app, use 'websharing' or something like that if you want 2-way

Actually quite awesome.
I wish the reverse was possible though.
A tab that you could open and then drop files from a built in file exp. into the drop box.

Well,the only thing that stops me of using this "Awsome Drop" is the lack of Opera.
But that might be the lack of HTML5 support from Opera,rather then the app. and website creators fault thou..Even thou Opera 10.60 was a "giant step" towords "full" HTML 5

heres a video that i did on the application to give users visual on how easy this really is:

Hi agian!
I couldnt wait on Opera Software or the app website too like each other so I downloaded a firefox.paf.exe too the computer I was using yesterday.And it worked like a charm,the only thing Im woundering about is when the "prossesbar" at the website is finished the prossesbar in the app. isnt full.Does the prossesbar installed and running on the phone view an other prosses?Like total amount how many MiB Ive downloaded or how much I can download to my cell before its full?

Just use drop box.... and share folders with friends...

[Q] Swype + Cursor Handle = No "W"?

I've got a problem that I don't seem to see any others having... although they should.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Every time I open the keyboard to type I'm greeted with the cursor handle halfway over the "w" key. If I try to start a word with a "w" it will think I want to move the handle and the swype won't take, so either I have to wait ~5 sec for it to disappear or hit another letter and backspace and then start. If you are good you can get the bottom of the "w" key but more often than not you get the handle.
It's in the most unfortunate place, too - as most phrases I text start with "w".
Where you at?
Who is coming?
When will you be here?
What do you want to do?
Why are you still here?
...etc
The stock keyboard is fine since there is the space above - why not Swype too?
So the question is - first, more theoretical, why would Android default to have the handle there when there is no text entered? (e.g. starting a text or web search)
Secondly, is there any way to get rid of the handle altogether? I've gotten accustomed to Android not having it so I'm good if it's not there but also with Swype there is little reason to go back and edit individual letters.
Maybe someone who works for Swype will see this and add the new (and much improved) word selection bar above the keyboard all the time like stock gingerbread...

Try Swype 3.0 (in beta)?

Thanks for the reply. I'm using version 3.6.84.26668.t100.26698

Then I'm afraid I have no idea how to fix your problem. I don't ever get the cursor handle when initially opening an input window. Mine only shows up after I touch it a second time.

I have that same problem with the cursor over the W...very annoying. I've defaulted to skipping the 'W' when I type the first word...

God Mode (From Windows 7) Works on the Surface RT.

My entirely non-techy but for some reason reliant on God Mode wife suggested I see if it worked on my new surface.
It does (or did the title give it away?)
For those that forgot:
◦Create a new folder anywhere on the Desktop.
◦Rename the folder by pasting this name exactly as it appears (copy it first):
◦GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
So far I have discovered you can add the "traditional" icons to the desktop and their is a TFTP client that can be installed.

Convenient, but - for the record - nothing that can't be done elsewhere. It's a useful aggregation of advanced features, but I don't think it actually exposes anything that can't be reached from some other way. Windows Features, for example, can be accessed by simply typing "features" into Start (it's under the "Settings" category).
Not to say that this isn't a cool hack, but it doesn't actually give you any more power - just convenience.

As I am experiencing the same problem, what happened to your Office icon on the Start bar? I ask, because mine have gone plain white as well

It happened to me when I updated to the full version of office. Remove them, then go back to the metro start screen,] and right click the office icons to pin them to the task bar.

[APP] Hotstrings - NEEDS testers or should I continue making this?

OK so this is a sort of experimental app that needs some testers. It's not in play yet but the apk is attached to the bottom of the OP. I'm just curious how many people would find something like this useful and wonder if I should carry on making it or just abandon it. Basically the app works as a sort of shortcut for frequently typed phrases or whatever that you may constantly type out that you may not want to. So you create a keyword and a string of text associated with that keyword. You can now cycle through keywords via the widget or the app itself and click on the keyword and have the associated text copied to clipboard for easy pasting wherever you may want
widget usage:
- Click left/right arrows to cycle database
- Click keyword/string to copy to clipboard

Would you mind explaining it a little better?

I didn't get it. What exactly does it do?

That link will give you an idea of what they are. I think what needs to happen for this to be worthwhile is a needs a custom kb to work with since you are unable to interact with these keywords in other apps(hence the clipboard). With a keyboard I could have a keyword for a really long bit of a text and I just type the keyword out and it will autoreplace with the associating string saving you time.

Basically, you create short texts that expand to the full phrase/sentence you like. The only similar app I found was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agileapps.autocorrecteditor&feature=search_result which has fairly negative reviews and still has 500-1000 downloads. I expect this is about the size of audience the hotstrings app would get, perhaps slightly more if it is rated more positively.

Hi I know this is old but I'm looking for something like this! I had this option on my iPhone way back when, it's the only thing I miss about it. I use the Swype keyboard so I don't know if that will conflict with your app but it's worth a shot! The link seems to be down, is there any way I could get this apk to try out?
