xda keyboard - MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories

i recently bought a keyboard and i was typing a document but when i was hitting the space bar the xda wasnt picking it up which is a problem do you think i should take it back or just hit the key harder and if ith is a problem with the software could some1 send me a new 1
thanks in advance
j duthie

i find the space bar of the official xda keyboard a funny customer. the only solution ive found is not to hit the key harder, but to press it as near to its centre as possible.

Left and right Soft keys

Is there a way to map these to the Answer button and the Hang up Button?
I dont use the phone facility on my XDA II
TIA

Look if you have Settings>Personal>Soft Keys. If you have a ROM in which you can't find it, use

Stop virtual keyboard from popping up in opera

Hey guys, recently joined this forum since i got my first wm device, the SE X1
I searched the forum trying to find a way to stop the virtual keyboard from popping upp as soon as I select an input box in the opera web browser. So I was hoping you guys could help me.
oh btw, atm - I suck on wm, but Im very keen on learning so if you have any newbie tips for me that would be great too.
thanks,
Agaas

Can't answer ur question, but am gonna ask another - if you don't mind... "does the on-screen keyboard come up when the hardware keyboard is opened too?"
AFAIK this is a persistent problem, but there is a null keyboard without any keys which wont get in your way when it pops up.

Surur
yes, thats the problem! it does so when its open. wouldnt mind if it did when closes
thanks for the link to the null keyboard, unfortunatly it didnt work. Ille see if I cant find another one
okey, I tried "Phm null keyboard", it worked but made the icon flick and looked strange so I removed it
Doesn't bother me just hit a button on the hardware keyboard and it dissapears
someone else who has a tip?
Same problem since years and generations of WM
I don't recognize it anymore. One tab on the hardware-keyboard and it is off again.
Pls. This can't be difficult to fix for a smart person.
The easiest fix currently known has already been stated.
Place the cursor into a text box, and allow the on-screen keyboard to pop up. Then slide the phone open and expose the hardware keyboard. Next hit the space key, and then slide the phone closed.
Problem solved until you bring the on-screen keyboard up again.

Yes ofcourse but it would be nice to somehow disable it from popping up automaticly
I don't see the big problem about this issue. Does the keyboard stay up on the Xperia? I know on my device all I do is hit the text box and start typing on the hardware keyboard and the virtual disappears as soon as I hit the first key.

I tried that and could get no virtual keyboard to come up even when I wanted one. Had to change the value back again.

need help with keymapping

ok long story short 4 of my keyboard keys are unresponsive.
they are "I,K,M,N, and period. this is a really a downer when i try to text or anything.
i realized that i never use my arrow keys or my start key on my keyboard. i really want to flip their status so i can have my important letters back.
could anybody point me in some direction to remap these keys? maybe a registry edit? thanks

Tilt Keyboard Fix
Thanks alot i got my keyboard working i wish there was a Thanks feature on this forum
im sorry i dont think you guys understand my problem. Is the tilt keyboard something i can edit and change the keys to my choosing?
My (n,m,p,k,.) keys will not respond. This is not a software issue but hardware. I want remap the keys so that when i press my right arrow a letter p shows up, when i press my left arrow a letter m shows up, bottom arrow a k, shows, up etc....
ive reasearched into that hexidecimal table, but im not tech savy enough to understand it. I was hoping that with all the modding u guys are able to do you could show me how to make these changes.
once again thanks for your time
any responses?

I think its going to be a bit more complicated than a reg edit. Try pm'ing some of the chefs such as sakajati he might know if it can be done or not. Sorry I cant help any more.

using a hex editor to modify a rom

I downloaded a hex editor and a rom and loaded the rom onto the hex editor.
But that kind of stuff is far above me.
I'm trying to edit the keyboard mapping, i need to switch some keys around.
I have the tilt, i would really like someone experienced to help me with this because my keyboard is basically useless right now, and ill have to buy a new phone if i cant fix it.
is there not a cab file to change from the tilt to the keyboard mapping you require?
The answer is...(drum roll please)..YES!
use the forum search option for "tilt keyboard fix" and you will be pleasantly surprised.
plz remember that unlike your girlfriend search will always be there for you. ;-)

lol i know theres that fix i just wasnt sure if it was tilt to kaiser one he required lol
no its not the keyboard fix i know about that. My issue is unique, i need to remap some of my letters. I'm fairly certain the issue involves modifiying a rom, it doesn't matter which, and to do this i would have to use a hex editor.

what keys do you need to remap and maybe someone will know a fix.
ok my k,n, i m, and period keys are unresponsive. this is a hardware issue, ill explain further if u want. this makes the keyboard quite useless without these keys functioning.
I never use my arrow keys so I would like to map each faulty letter key (K,n,i,n,.) to a corresponding arrow, and maybe the "ok" or "tab" button.
basically when i press left arrow, the letter p would pop up...etc
i would be truly gratified if u guys helped me fix this, because ill get a cheap unbreakable phone if the tilt wont fully work. Its been really frustrating,
how old is your kaiser?
do you have a warranty on it still?
could be easier to have it replaced.
well thats where i mentioned i could go into depth further. I cracked my screen, and replaced it myself. In the process I accidently nicked the side of the ribbon wire connecting the keyboard to the main unit. This resulted in those 5 keys becoming unresponsive.
I got the phone about 6 months ago, but the warranty was voided when i took the phone apart to replace the screen.
AE Button Mapper use google..... "Not AE Button Plus"
ok i downloaded it and got it installed but i have no clue how to use it.
theres some buttons to reassign keys however u have to press the key you want to reassign and that it not possible being that those keys are disconnected.
ok little update, i think the AEK program will work, however the first step is it has to create a chart by logging all the keys. You have to press all the keys individually and it logs them with a four digit number. For example pressing the letter "d" logs key 0044. Once all the keys are logged you can type them up in a text document and mix and match accordingly.
My obstacle is that i cannot press my keys that are unresponsive, for them to be logged. I tried to find a pattern by pressing keys around these and saw nothing that made any sense.
I'm not sure if the numerical values attached are standard for every application in the phone, or specific to the AEK program. I can't find a thread, that would list the value for those letters i can't press.
Does anyone know if there is a chart with all the values assigned to each key of the tilt?
Snowman, give me a link to this AEK program and I'll use it to log all my keys on my tilt, then perhaps we can compare them to what you have and hopefully get the missing codes for you

Hex Editing a ROM file won't get what you need. I've seen people trying to patch the keyboard driver for this, but no success. Sorry, couldn't be more help .

Android keyboard

All of a sudden i can not get the number 1 to type or the @ to type out. For some reason its like its frozen on the left side. The 2 types out and the # sign after the @. Has anyone else had this problem? Other than that all numbers letters symbols are fine and caps. Plz need help. Also tried different keyboard too.
Swype took care of my problem all good.
You mean on the physical keyboard?
I had problems with mine, it started getting "bubbly" and one of the keys got stuck "the @ key". I had to press it hard so it would unstuck.

If you are using CM7, have you checked whether you are using the correct keyboard layout? Settings->CyanogenMod settings->Input->Keyboard layout ?
