Keyboard symbols dont match up when typing

I've tried a few Roms by now. Most all of them have an issue. After I do an upgrade, the symbol keys (activated by presssing Fn), dont output the correct symbol.
For example, my @ puts out a !
Is there a fix for this? Why do ROM builder produce Roms with this issue?

I really should not post this on here, because you can find it easy on this forum. Next time you have a question please read over the forums first.

My magic crystal ball tells me you have a Tilt and that you do not know how to do your research. And welcome to the Forum please know that this is not like the ATT spoon fed forum, be warned, and welcome.

you first have to read before posting
the 2 posts before yours includes 2 different solutions in your answer!!

Search, READ first before you post.
This is a common problem, your keyboard problem that is as well as posting before you take the time to do your own research. Use the WiKi and you will find out everything you need to know about your device. This keyboard issue has been asked so many times before. and you got lucky with the responses so far. Most people that ask questions like this without looking for the answers themselves will get flamed in a big way. So from now on use the search tools that this forum has in place to find your answers and welcome.
Ed...

How could you have flashed several roms without toasting your phone? I mean, doesn't everyone know about the keyboard fix for the Tilt? My dead Gran even knows.

You've been given all the chances in the world. You have been given the answers twice already. Now go away and dont return until you master the art of reading. I know, it does seem like a lot to ask and I know that it gets tiring reading and it probably will make your head hurt but for FS, please RTFM. Don't you dare ask what that means either. I wont be so nice if you do.

Awesome Sauce

I have a similar problem, but different. When I hit the red button on the left of the face of the phone, it hangs up the call. EVERY DAMN TIME!
What up with THAT?!?

You have a red button?

Mods have a life and are volunteers, and as such just can't police the forum constantly. I would recommend that you don't browse the forum on the weekend if you don't want to see so many noob posts. Seems like they come out in force on the weekends, and usually the mods are off trying to have a weekend. These things have been said 1000 times before. It is frustrating, i know that of course, but these posts really have little value. If you don't have anything to actually contribute through the posts then it's best if we just don't say anything.
@ OP
Questions like this should be posted in an preexisting thread, either the rom you are using, or wherever you got your themes from, there could even be a thread on the topic already...i have not looked, but doing so helps to reduce the clutter. Plus it's a forum rule.

First of dont be afraid, you wont brick your phone installing a theme There is no risk involved.
If you are searching for themes you can try here and here^^
of course there are far more, but you might wanna start there
If you have questions concerning the themes and how to install them, plz first read some posts in these threads so that no unnecessary questions are ask, if you still dont know how, then just ask in these threads the OPs are there to help you
I would recommend though, that you first install CHT 2. Its necessary for the most themes and for the other stuff you will find here. Without it you more or less can throw away your HD2^^
Just use the search function of the forum and you will surely find it
And for the next time you have questions, I would recommend you first search the forum on your own before opening a thread like that. On the first site of this forum there are 3 threads with more than 15 themes. So you could have found something.
Just remember that for the next time

thank you so much i did look up themes on here but really couldnt find any thing but im sure your right i am sorry

as other posters have said, you should try CHT 2.....

its a great piece of software and once installed your good to go for all the amazing widgets that the guys here make. just spend a bit of time reading up before you go ahead. it really does open your phone up.....
we all have to start somewhere bud, i was like you just over a year ago but now i have the perfect phone, well i like it anyway
you'll be fine mate.....

[q] help from me on xda or in pm/gtalk ?

I help A LOT of people here on xda all day everyday some donate some don't. its very hard to help people on xda cus when helping them other people jump in and start either telling the person im helping don't do that do this or they just plain old spam. i have helped a very large amount of people on g talk and they have told me they like to be helped MORE on g talk than on xda because we have 100% full privacy to do what we need to do. please choose how you like to be helped Either xda or PM or g talk. at the end of the week ill count all of them up and from the results i will help people based on the results on this thanks very much.

To put the poll into better context I believe that you should also read this thread Although I've quoted the relevant posts below:
ben_pyett said:
Hello, Paul,
Firstly, thanks (again) for your input into the forum. I'm genuinely not intending to create conflict here or trying to play the role of a mod. Now, I know that you've had this sort of comment before, but, I agreed with it then and I'm afraid that I still do.
While at times the PM route can be useful to resolve issues, it shouldn't be the only or primary option. The whole principle of XDA is openness and sharing, so resolving an issue in thread permits that the next user(s) (and there is always another, who suffers from the exact same problem) from hopefully using the Search function and then following the resolution from the thread by themselves.
That way we're working towards creating a valuable resource rather than loosing useful input into hidden PMs.
PM's do have there place for 'user to user' communication, that would otherwise populate the forum unnecessarily but once a thread has been created I believe that it should be used to reolve the original issue.
If a new user needs that much hand holding then one wonders whether they should be risking their £200-£400 device in the first place! before reading up some more....

me helping people over PM is better because its faster and more safer for the person im helping. if im trying to guide him then other people jump in and comment he isnt going to know who to listen to and he will get very confused. this has happend before. by helping over PM or my gmail is better for them, and me. and i ALWAYS ask them after to write a guide as to how i helped them and what they did. i at NO point mean to upset anyone. but you have got to understand that this is the only way that i can help these people as you may well know here on xda people have got there opinions and they like to jump in whenever they want. if i tell him to do somthing some1 might jump in and say no or do this and do that. i have had EVERYONE i have helped say thanks to me and its better this way. i have helped MANY people achieve proper s-off. i will no open a poll. and it will ask the people of xda if they would prefer to be helped via PM or Gtalk or on here. if more people prefer xda then i will start helping via xda

As someone whom Paul has helped through gtalk, It was very beneficial to me as we were able to quickly and easily communicate, as any other method is rather slow and crude. I definitely do agree with your point on xda being a repository for information however, therefore communicating through gtalk or similar could withhold information from other users. However I have now written up a short guide of what I did to solve my problem on the original thread, and I believe that if people do this then everyone wins tbh, and it has the added advantage of the treads being shorter and more concise, therefore it is easier to find the relevant information.

As someone who has done all his stiff by reading through threads and others opinions, I will always advocate all discussions on XDA
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!

On the 16th the poll will close and whatever the winning method is thats the way i will help people from now on. i do wish ALL people will take something out of the way i help them. as me getting them properly s-off uses alot of things like commands running adb , fastboot and so on. by helping them do these things it then in turn helps them. as if i didnt help them and they needed to to adb or fastboot commands and they never knew howto that could result in a not needed thread being opened **How to use adb or fastboot** this is a good way for me to help these people. i think people should help people the way they do and let other people carry on with the ways they do things. ( no offence meant ben your opinion means alot to me your a good person ) but if it states in the rules ( only help people on xda ) then i will stop if it dont then i will carry on as im not doing anything wrong. and even so if you guys think your losing out on infomation. i will open up a guide covering absolutly EVERYTHING on the desire s from fastboot adb changing roms,splash,radio,hboot and covering everything on what the desire s is capable of doing. what limits it has and other things. this in a sense will be the desire s XDA user guide let me know if u think thats a good isea ben. and as i go along anything i help people out with thats not in the new guide ill just update it ????????????

I do but there are already several threads like this, so one must be careful not to pollute the forum with too many similar guides which would just lead to further confusion.

There is the Complete Tutorial for beginners and others, but I'm guessing yours would be a more technical and slightly more advanced version?

yes ur right mine would cover EVERYTHING that is possible with our device. from s-off to installing app's and even radio flashing fastboot adb the lot. EVERYTHING will be in sections. with sections about all developers themers contributors. what projects that are currently under development and it can also act like a news forum. like if you want to know whats happening in the most recent roms go to this thread and find your rom and you will be able to keep upto date with whats going on. this will be called DESIRE S ADVANCED USER THREAD. this will house everything for our device. from what roms are currently avalible and everything. im going to start this thread now i think this thread when its done will be the best thread about our device on xda

The one thing I would say though, is rather than re-invent not just the wheel but the car, I'd recommend that you source, link and reference as much of the existing documentation where ever possible.

Guides done i have posted it now and ill carry it on as i go along

hey guys, Would just like to add to this After searching throughout the forum day and night i got what information i needed to root and s-off my desire s. After following all the instructions letter by letter i was still have errors and problem after problem. paul.robo kindly asked me if i wanted his help and i accepted using Gtalk. I can not begin to express at how helpful he was and was there to guide me through each error. After a good few steps i finally got to where i wanted to be. In no way was i able to find out why i was having these errors if he weren't there to check them as it was happening. To go through this in forum style replys would take days and to much work. Gtalk is a brilliant and direct help for occasions like these and would recommend his help and wisdom to all. Thanks again mate Much appreciated

Desire S problems after ICS update..need help

Hi...I have officially updated my desire S with official ics update but after that I am facing a few problems
1. Whenever I click on any link sent on whatsapp or any app or sms , the app just crashes down and I have to force close
2.My fonts have become smaller and there's no option to increase them
3.When m listening to music it suddenly stops
4. My mails take a long time to be sent..
Someone pls help me find a solution to this atleast the first one...
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app

Can you imagine that the solution has been already posted, and more than once?
Or you need "someone" to find you the solution, because you're too lazy to search yourself?
Here's a good general guideline for forums: whenever you want to post a question with a problem, think if there's a chance that anyone has already encountered that problem and asked the question before. Given that you're talking about one of the largest device-oriented forums, and ICS being out for at least a month already, I think the answer to this is pretty clear.

Instead of wasting time writing all this you could have simply written the solution but I guess you yourself dont know what d solution is...

He knows the solution, as do I and most of the guys/gals who have been on here for more than two months.
1) Don't pi$$ off the people who know what they are doing as you might need their help one day :banghead:
2) Use the search function as other questions have been asked many times before
If you are in someone's house and you ask them where the toilet is, imagine that they tell you to use your eyes. Would you call them an idiot and say they didn't know, or would you think that maybe it was right in front of you and easy to find?

Well Sir I would just show them d way instead of commenting they are lazy and all..and ya if one wants respect one should first learn to give respect...I don't regret what I said..

I'm not going to get into a slagging match with you - but Jack R1 has my respect as well as that of many people here. He is a very knowledgeable guy and helps when it is needed. However ... you don't need help. You don't need to be given the answers. You need to learn to SEARCH. If you come on here and just get spoon-fed the answers then you won't understand what/why/when - and if something then goes wrong you will have a brick instead of a phone
You have only just joined, but you need to go away and do two things;-
1) Watch the Welcome to XDA video
2) Read the XDA Rules - especially Rule 1
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

Maybe once you understand what XDA was created for (a website for Developers to get together) you will start to understand why being asked the same pointless questions over and over again starts to annoy people somewhat.

Firstly - I am fairly sure that the Urdu (I think) phrase you used wasn't very polite.
Secondly - all I needed to do was type the word "WhatsApp" into the search box and the second hit is this one. I'm not going to tell you what to do with it - you will be slightly annoyed as you need root (like with most things you need to do to your phone).
If you had bothered to read before wildly upgrading to the new, shiny, unsupported ICS software then you would have been aware of these issues before upgrading - this is the exact reason why noobs keep on getting told to "Search, Read, Learn, Understand" before they do ANYTHING.

Firstly - That was hindi and i didnt abuse u i just said if u respect him fine pls keep it to yourself
Secondly - Thanks for the info..I do know for most things i need to root and so i had posted this stuff to see if anyone has solutions without rooting.I did read wildly before upgrading and i had read bout fonts but i was not more concerned bout that . I never found anything bout clinckin link and app crashing.Am still a beginner so dont know much bout rooting and kernel stuff so a lil hesitant bout rooting the phone.Just searching and learning things as of now.
