Hey guys, about two weeks ago I downgraded from Jellybean back down to ICS because of a problem I was having with JB I just got the OTA notification again, so I was hoping someone who is using JB and has the keyboard dock could test something for me.
I use the Asus Greek Keyboard IME a lot because I'm taking a lot of classes with Greek The problem I was having with JB was after the update I could no longer use the keyboard to input accent marks over vowels For instance: ά έ ώ. To do this once you've activated the Greek keyboard IME you just have to press the semi-colon key, followed by the vowel. Could someone with the latest firmware test this for me and tell me if it works now or not? What it was doing before was putting that little apostrophe looking accent in front of the letter, instead of over it when the letter was typed.
Thanks!

I tried with both Asus Greek and Android Greek keyboards, they ARE NOT working with Greek. I'm running latest .18 JB.
Thanks buhohitr, I guess I'll hold off on updating then. A related question, if I do hold up, is there a way to dismiss the update notification but have it come back the -next- time the firmware is updated?
I send the question to Gary, wolfman87. Thanks, hopefully he can provide some insight or bring it up with people who might be able to do something.
Hello again. Could someone who is up to date with their Asus firmware test this for me again please? Need to know if the accent marks are working correctly in Greek.

Yes, it's working, I typed a and hit the semi key I have a'. But you need to check it out yourself to verify for real.

That's a shame. Thanks for checking for me. If you wouldn't mind, could you check one more thing? I've just read that JB finally added Greek to the stock keyboard. You've been testing with the ASUS keyboard for me, right? Could you check the stock keyboard as well, as a final resort? I appreciate it!
keyboard dock software error
Hey guys, quick question and I hope it will be easy to answer:
Asus messed up the keyboard layout on the Jelly Bean update (it was fine in ICS) and its practically impossible to type in greek using the dock. Has this been fixed in CROMI? Is it even a known issue? Apart from a couple of unanswered posts there seems to be no information on this.
I 'm kinda desperate over here, any help will be appreciated.
thnx

Don't know if this helps you but I had a similar problem when going from English Canada to French Canada. I've had it for 2 weeks now and it wouldn't type French accents over the vowel.They would be before or after. Today I started looking at the settings to figure this out and notice a choice "choose system language". I ticked that box. I also chose French Canada and English Canada in the lower "asus" keyboard and android keyboard. Now if I want to type in French I change the system language and the keyboard automatically switches to the French keyboard and types the accents properly over the next letter. Type the accent and the cursor changes to a blue box and the next letter types in the box under the accent.

may i request someone to make an apk for the chinese keyboard & hwr that initially comes with X10?
i recently updated my phone and its gone don't know what happened zzz
i assume you can read chinese rite?
here you are
http://androidin.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=122272&highlight=
the original chinese input is suck,just install google,QQ,or Sougou pinyin from the market
Can´t change chinesse input method!!!
Dear all, I have the big problem that I have in my x10 mini the touchpal in chinesse as default, it is a system app. So I can´t use other input method or app to write sms. How can I change the lenguaje of this app?? I want spanish or english!! Are there any apps which make this work?? Thanks
I too am looking for this input in an apk. Willing to 'donate' for the cause should it work.
I know other inputs are possibly better but I'm used to this one now and can make it work as fast and easy as I want it to. Familiarity is good.
edit: and I'm learning Chinese but not fluent enough yet to read the above linked forum and request a Chinese person put it together.

Are you talking about this one?
^^ that's the one but I tend to use the qwerty for pinyin input. Do you have an apk for it? Are you able to mash one together? I'm still fairly new with android stuff and don't want to stuff up my beloved.

If you'd like, you can donate to me here
but it's not really a big deal.
Cheers, is this your work?
I pulled it from the system off my phone.
Wasn't much, but yeah I did it.

Alright cool. I don't mind honoring my previous statement and donating a small amount, but I'll test it out first to see if it works.
Thanks again

The HWR is handwriting recognition. I tested this now and it works great!

Question
Hi Everyone
I'm a new user, I just brough a sony ericsson x10a from At&t, And my phone don't have chinese keyboard on the phone, can someone please tell me step by step how to install it. Also, how can i uninstall all the app that come with the phowe.....thanks and have a nice day
1. Go to settings > Applications and check the unknown sources box.
2. From the market install an app installer (I use App Installer by ModMyMobile)
3. Download the apk file uploaded earlier in this thread
4. Open it with your new app installer. This will install the keyboard.
To switch to this keyboard press and hold in a text field and go to input method and select Chinese Keyboard.
To switch from English to PinYin to Handwriting Recognition press the cog icon in the bottom left of the keyboard.
To change settings of the keyboard press and hold the cog icon in the bottom left of the keyboard.

Did the apk say it installed correctly? If so then you should be able to select the Chinese keyboard by pressing and holding your finger on the text box and selecting 'Input method' then Chinese keyboard. Note: I've not tried the apk here on the android 2.1 update. It may not work.
it's not working on version 2.2.1
i'll recommend HKIME

Hello everyone,
I want to buy a TF + dock, but first I need to know some things.
I live in Greece and I need the Greek keyboard. I know that there is not an official honeycomb Greek IME, but Asus has a Greek keyboard.
Can I use the dock with input other than Asus IME?? In Greek there are accents like ή, ά,έ, etc. In windows PC, if you press the button next to L, and then press the letter η, it becomes ή. But when I played with a TF in a shop, the dock keyboard could not input accents.
Also, after a lot of search in my HTC Desire's market, I only found SlideIT keyboard that has a dedicated soft button for accent input, neither GB keyboard nor HTC IME has it (one of the few things that make me jealous of iPhone's greek IME), instead, you have to press η for some time and then swype to ή that pops up.
Is there any solution in this problem?? I really need a hard button to input accents, in order to use it in Document editing and Presentations.
Thank you in advance,
Thanos
Not sure about the greek characters on the keyboard dock being an option, but I've seen keyboard character stickers - you can just place the sticker on the correct key.

Thanx for the help,but it is not the characters that i need on the keyboard,but the actual ability of the keyboard to use accents over the letters.
This is what I mean: in greek, if you press ' before a letter like α,η,ε,ι, and then press the letters, they appear like this: ά,ή,έ,ί. It is greek grammar. I want to know if somehow i can do that with the keayboard dock.
I know that some keyboard apps from market like SlideIT keyboard have a soft button for that, but I havent found it on keyboard dock,hence why I am asking if it is possible,or if I can use the keyboard dock in combination with a keyboard app from market.
Best regards,
Thanos

Ah I see, in that case Android 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 support greek locales. Source: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0.html , http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.1.html ,
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.2.html
So I don't see why the keyboard dock wouldn't default to whatever language you have set in Language & input in settings.
Edit: I just tested this with my keyboard dock, and I can confirm that it works with whatever language you have selected in Language & Input in Settings.
It does work with greek locale, but the problem is with accents..
Anyway,thanx for your help, I already contacted asus greek support over the phone,the guy didnt know the answer and he told me to send an email for them to search it thoroughly and they will reply soon,i hope!

Accented Greek characters appear just fine on my eee pad with android 3.1 by pressing ; key and then the relevant letter. So probably the version you tested in the store had android 3.0 which if I remember correctly didn't even had Greek input support.

Hey mate,
Are you from GR??
The tablet I tested had 3.1, yet there were no accents..The truth is though that there must have been something wrong with the tablet as well, because when I chose between EN-GR on the soft keyboard, sometimes Chinese input appeared. I showed this to the salesman and he told me that they would make a factory reset. Tomorrow I will go by the shop to see if the problem is fixed and check again the keyboard dock accent input.
BR,

Hello,
I got a terrible problem with the dock, and I don't know how can I fix it, so I hope somebody here may help-me:
First, I have to say that I'm Brazilian, so in my language I need some accents like this: ´ ˆ ˜ ˋ
But I cannot use this with a letter.
Looks what's happening for an example: ˜a ´e ˆo ˋa
The accents come before the letters and don't with them.
I don't know why it's happening, 'cause before it was not thus.
A take the tablet a beautiful day and "than" it was thus.
Please, I hope somebody here could help-me with this problem.
Thanks so lot. Stay with God.
PS: sorry by my english, I don't know speak english well.
Known issue since .18. Wasn't fixed in the .20 update. Doesn't work proerly for anyone.

Can you send a message for Asus?

Do you have a Brazilian dock?
I have a German dock, and if I set the software keyboard setting to "Asus keyboard", the hardware keyboard works as intended - I get the german umlauts (äöüß), and the dead keys for accents (áàâ...) work as intended. CleanROM 2.3, based on stock 10.4.4.18.

I need this fuction, when will the Asus fix it?
Hello,
I am planning to buy an Asus Transformer Infinity, and as an Armenian language user, I simply do not imagine my life without Multiling Keyboard . But I'm not sure whether this keyboard will work with the dock or not. Will I have the same typing experience with the physical keyboard of the Asus Transformer as I have on-screen (layout etc.)? Has anyone tested it (not exactly the Armenian layout, but just the app with the dock)?
Most importantly, I want to make sure that I will be able to switch between English and a second (Armenian) with the keys combination, as in the case of the default Asus keyboard. Even if this is not a supported feature by default, maybe there are some solutions/fixes for this? I'm ready to root my device or tweak some system files and settings, if it will help.
The question is, there is no other app that supports Armenian input language even half as well as Miltiling Keyboard, that's why I would like to ask the Multiling users here to share your experience with me.
Thank you in advance.
I have been using multiling with the dock without major issue, but with English UK. The only problem I find is that the " ? ! etc characters will not be in the same place. However, you may be able to learn the new positions easily? I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with Armenian to know if there are other critical special characters you will need.
I keep meaning to investigate if it's possible to remap the characters on multiling. I believe it is a better soft keyboard than the Asus one, or the default android 4.1 keyboard which is also installed by default. I'm looking forward to trying the android 4.2 default keyboard.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply, Gudders . Have you tried to switch languages while you use Multiling with the dock, or you use only Engilsh UK? If it is not too difficult, can you please check the Armenian language in the Multiling settings in order to have two selected languages, and try to switch them with the dock (keys combinations, spacebar...), or at last just try to type something Armenian with the dock?
Thanks!
I have been trying to figure out the same but for Spanish. So far I haven't been able to get special characters to work from the dock keyboard. I haven't been able to get things like alt-134 to work for writing a ñ. I waited for 3 months for Asus to release a latin keyboard and they keep saying it is coming soon but it still is not available. I finally just bought an English version but so far haven't been able to figure this stuff out.

I am happy to try for you. I can download and install Armenian. You can switch using shift and spacebar in search, chrome, kingsoft office, gmail and some others. I tried to get a screenshot, but I can't seem to upload it to XDA (browser issue I think). The only problem I had was with the stock browser. I couldn't get it to switch, or type Armenian characters. It may just need a restart. It does type the charactes and switch using the search bar in the stock browser, but on google page or XDA reply box it wouldn't.
Hope that helps.

Hello,
Nougat update on S7 has completely f**** up my stock keyboard.
With Marshmallow:
I was able to type at high speed with relevant bilingual autocorrection whatever language (french/english) was set on the keyboard.
The return key was allowing me to cancel the auto correction by leaving the typed words.
With Nougat:
No bilingual autocorrect, I have to select the right language anytime I am switching fomr english to french otherwise the keyboard corrects everything into the language set on with the space bar key.
I tried to use Swiftkeyboard but not a big fan of it since question marks is not accessible straight (have to long press the . key) + the numeric pad is awful, tiny and showing plenty of symbol (when it comes to enter only digits) and the € key is sent to page 3 of the keyboard which is annoying for euro countries and there is no .com key neither."
Even if it does bilingual autocorrection and there's plenty of customization capabilities, all mentioned above cannot be changed.
Is there anyway to get back to the well performing stock keyboard without root ?
Thank you
This happened to me as well. Unfortunately, I still haven't found a fix for that. Deleting the app data/cache for the appropriate apps didn't help. So anyone else any idea?

Hi guys! Same for me! I use 2 languages and the autocorrect is a pain. Maybe Samsung had a 3rd party work on The Marshmallow keyboard and now the contract is over? They really ****ed up big time!

Same thing for me, I usually can change the language when SMS'ing between English and Vietnamese. Now I no longer have that choice and don't know how to fix it either.
A lot of other issues:
+ When using Waze for navigation, when I make a phone call after 15' or 30' the screen will return back to Waze, but it's not
+ The quality of sound for both phone talking and music listening is bad (interference noise), and the volume at max level is much lower
+ Very slow to launch new applications
+ Some no response to touch screen.

I had my phone trained before to understand French, Italian, and Dutch in addition to my default English. Now, a Dutch keyboard (and ergo dictionary) are not even a choice. There's only seven languages to choose from!
Oh, quick addition: Before flashing with Odin I hard reset my S7 and did set everything up as new. So no incompatibility with any apps or so there shouldn't be any incompatibility with any apps or so.
I am also really annoyed by the N keyboard update. Just got used to the keyboard on MM and started to like it. Even more than gboard or swiftkey.
Does anyone know where I can download the old keyboard? Or which version it was? I want it back. I know that I cannot just install it over the system app, but maybe we can modify the old version and install it as additional keyboard?
I mean getting it back doesn't seem to be a problem, just extract it from any 6.0 rom zip, but installing it/modifying it would be difficult for me.

could you extract the old keyboard apk?
Question: To install the old keyboard app, it is necessary that the package name of the old app is not the same as the one that is currently installed, otherwise it would not let us install it/over. We cannot remove the current system app without root... Is changing the packagename enough? I would try this...
Because here I found a thread that shows how to change the packagename https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760965
I'll see what I can do.
Patience is a virgin.
So I just noticed that one could download the old version of the com.sec.android.inputmethod.apk on apkmirror.com. So now we just need someone to modify it and make it compatible for Nougat. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Same issues maybe like you guys, really loved the marshmallow keyboard. Maybe someone can make it compatible with nougat.
I upgraded to 7.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. BIG mistake! First my keyboard became mostly unresponsive. Then after a reboot nearly every App button left the screens. Now, I cannot bring them back, because now holding down an APP button to move an App back to the home screen cannot be done. Nothing happens. Other issues are there, but these are the most important.
