Celio Redfly is wonderful and works really well with my Xperia X1. But I can't write the accented characters frequently used in the Swedish language; åäö ÅÄÖ.
I've asked the Celio support and they say they have it "on the horizon for the future"... sounds to me it'll take a while.
Anyone here that can help me?
Personally, I've solved the problem (German umlauts in my case) with MagiKB Lite. I've set it so that for a lowercase accented character, I just have to press and hold the character I want accented for a second, for an uppercase character, I press the button right next to it for a second. When you are used to it, it works pretty well.
MagiKB Lite is da s***! I still have a lot to learn in that software but it solved my immidiate problem - now I have å's, ä's and ö's on my Redfly. Thank you bengtbeier!

I've just got a M500 and having used a IPAQ H2210 I'd much prefer the keyboard from that. For those who don't know it's just like a real keyboard where you have the numbers in row over the keys. Hope someone can help.
you can set this in settings - input (or when keyboard apears, klik right down corner and select options) and set the keyboard to small keys, you get the same then
goodluck
That's exactly what I wanted thanks willumpie82. Don't know why the default isn't small keys? It's not like there's much difference.
Edit: This bug is now resolved.
Hi, just something I've noticed - when using the Quick reply box on this forum, for some reason (at least on my PC, but I'm pretty sure it's not a problem at my end because no other forum does it) it modifies the input locale to the US English keyboard layout, so if I hit Shift+2 (which on my PC normally produces the inverted comma " symbol) I get an ampersand (@). And of course, to get inverted commas I have to hit Shift and the apostrophe key (which on EN-UK keyboards produces the ampersand, but on EN-US keyboards it produces inverted commas: " ).
This is _really weird_, and it's not the only wrong key mapping: check this out...
Ok, so this is what I get when I hit Shift+number keys (along the top).
I should get (in order): !, ", £, $, € (which is on the same key as $, to get it you type Alt Gr + 4... US keyboards don't have an Alt Graphics key!), %, ^, &, *, (, ) ... What I actually get is !, @, #, $ (for some reason Alt Gr + 4 makes my cursor jump outside of the text box), %, ^, &, *, (, ) - which to me looks like EN-US keyboard layout.
I also have incorrect mappings on some of my other keyboard symbol keys, for example the tilde/hash key (next to the Enter key on the middle row on a UK keyboard) gives \ and | - which on UK keyboards are right next to the left shift key (they also work in this text box, but the hash (pound key, heh) is on the 4 key, which is wrong.
It's really bizarre, and it's never happened to me on any other forum (including other vB forums!) so I can only assume the input locale is incorrectly set on the forum config... Is it set to Unicode, or En-US or another specific locale or what? 1044 is Unicode English if I remember correctly, but I've not adminned a vB forum for a faiiiiiiiiir while so I honestly couldn't give any more help than this :/
It's not a terminal flaw, it's just REALLY. ANNOYING. when you're typing stuff and it screws up all the symbols :/
Can't reproduce it on firefox under linux... my spanish keyboard layout is working perfect: ñññ
Hi Christopher,
I can't for the live of me think of anything that would do this.
Nevertheless I checked the vbulletin settings and changed a setting, although I don't feel it should be the problem (it doesn't need to be on so it's worth a try).
Please let me know if this changed anything for you, since I'll turn it back on if it didn't.
Thanks in advance,
Flar
Dont see an issue with my swiss german keyboard.
IE6 XP
My Keyboard is fine - 2 and " - there you go...
""@@ - working fine on my (new) laptop. Running XP Pro, installed it fresh over the XP Home install (yeuck, why can't vendors understand that sometimes end-users WANT the Pro versions?!)
Just tried loading up the same thread, hitting Quick Reply in both IE6 and Flock, and the problem is fixed now - so I'd love to know what you changed!
All sorted now, thanks for taking the time to investigate and solve whatever it was which was causing this to happen, because it was really driving me nuts.
I ask this again, as my question was embedded in my other posts :
How do you get dead cycling to work ? On my TyTN, when writing an email for example, if I type "e" then "Fn" + "Space" it used to role through the "special caracters", "e"->"é"->"è"->"ê".
Looking at the "eT9DeadKeys.txt" file it looks like this should also work on TP2. What's the key combinbation to make it work ?
Format:
// c0, c1, c2, c3,..ck, where
// characters on the first column (c0), trigger the dead-cycling
// (c1,...,c3,c1..) when Symb + [first column character] on SP,
// or Fn + Space (PPC) and the current character macthes character
// on the first column.
Thanks
Harvey
Does this no longer exist on TP2 ? It worked on TyTN. Does anyone know how to make it work on TP2.
Thanks for help, I find this feature really useful, it would be a shame to have lost it.
Harvey
Not sure if it works as I haven't got one yet... but I read that if you pressed and held a key the alternates for that letter would show up (i.e. the accented variants).
give it a try,
wait, here's the bit from the manual:
To enter accented characters
1. Tap and hold a key with accent options (for example, vowels) to display the accented characters bar.
2. Slide your finger left or right on the screen to select the accented character you want to enter.
3. When you have selected the character, release your finger to enter it.
Tip You can also use the Numeric and Symbol mode to enter accented characters.
For more information, see “Using Numeric and Symbol Mode” in this chapter for details.
Thanks, but that is not exactly it... what you describe is on the virtual keyboard, and it works fine (tap and hold then move your thumb onto the one you want and finally realse).
Unfortunatly, this doesn't work on the physical keyboard. If you hold key pressed, it simply repeats it.
Surely some one can say whether this has simply been lost between TyTN and TP2.
Does no one use this feature on TyTN ? I found it great, just type the caracter you want then "Fn"+"Space" to get all the "accent" versions. It alos worked for "(" -> "[" -> "{", and other similar, virtually, you could get any symbol without ever using the symbol pad.
Has any one else noticed this has gone missing between TyTN and TP2 ???

Hi!
I have installed XDAndroid on my Touch pro 2, and I'm very pleased with that. The only problem is that the keymaps that I can find don't match my keyboard, and I kinda need some of the missing keys. So really what I'm wondering is, how much work would it be to make a keymap that fits this keyboard with the Fn keys included:
Won't happen (yet)
Android doesen't support non ASCII characters like our beloved ÆØÅ.. At least not on the HW side..
Oh, that's truly sad. It's pretty much the same with the German keymap (with Umlauts and other special (FN) characters). At least, it works with the onscreen keyboard.
I wondered how this is solved for the German Motorola Milestone - there you can hold the a/o etc. keys and then you can choose a special character on the screen (just like on the onscreen keyboard). Not a perfect solution either but better than none.
I would really appreciate a solution using the FN key.
Hi,
I have a HTC TILT 2, (AT&T) Rhodium, with android last version FRX 07
How can I get accent characters (Spanish) on the physic keyboard, á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, ??? etc.
Thanks,
Doesn't appear to be a layout for Spanish:
physkeyboard=rhod100_de
physkeyboard=rhod100_fr
physkeyboard=rhod100_it
physkeyboard=rhod100_uk
physkeyboard=rhod100_nordic
Perhaps IT would work? That's for RHOD100's tho, If you have a RHOD300, how does it have special characters? I thought all the ATT Tilt2's had US keyboards...?
Feel free to make one and make a merge request against the rootfs.
arrrghhh : Thanks for your fast answer,
My rhodium has a US keyboard, and was buy in US, I checked an is a RHOD300, but I need write on Spanish.
I want to keep the same keyboard layout, but get the accented characters with some of this option: double pulse, pulse length -long, or a key combination or other. Par example, on Windows Mobile 6.5 (Rom Energy) I use the app “rhodium Keyboard Controller GSM/CDMA v1.4” to remap the keyboard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
I mean, i get the accent characters by long press
a + long press = á,
n +long press= ñ
I will try the Italian (maybe is similar but doesn’t have same accents, diacritics, specially “ á “ and “ ñ ” ) option but my technical knowledge (and my English) is limited, so your advice is welcome
Thanks

Oh.
I don't know how this would be done... I would think Android has some native-way of remapping keys... But I'm not aware of any way how. Never looked into it.
In the short term, why not just use the soft keyboard?
Edit - did a little bit of googling and found this. Not ideal, I haven't found an app to do it yet.
Edit 2 - I can't find an app for the life of me. These might help tho.
