[Bug] 3.1 cannot handle international bluetooth layout keybord - Xoom Accessories

Hello,
I bought e very nice elive bluetooth keyboard in german qwertz design.
.
After pairing it, it works only in US qwerty layout. Found that to be a bug already in 3.0. Changing config does not make difference.
Huge setback for international customers.

Not really a "setback", it's just that your KB layout isn't recognized specifically and it's defaulting to a pre-determined layout.
Was your Xoom bought in Germany?

Yes it is a setback, all of German Xoom users buy the Original Moto Keyboard and all of them do not work and have the same issue.
My Wifi Xoom has been bought in US and then been localized to German language.

That's what I'm getting at- as there's no "official" Xoom release for .DE, it's very likely possible that the keylayouts just aren't in there (and w/o the source code, wouldn't be easily modded).

Not correct:
Xoom is available in Germany since 3 weeks officially including not working keyboard.

He is correct: there is NO OFFICIAL 3.1 release for german Xoom models, that means no official localized system version which could fix this bug yet.
It is something different if you use a US-device in Germany or having a real german device, even with any language packs.
So please stop scaring people with that unconfirmed statements in every forum belonging to the Xoom!
Thx

Confusing, the current German Xoom 3.01 does not support the German BT keyboard.
That is what I am hearing. The next Euro 3.1 update might fix this bug.
I am not scaring anybody.

Any update on this matter?
I'm looking to get scandinavian letters øæå to work on the keyboard... (bluetooh)

similar/same issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137780
motorola have a post on their support forum that the non-us keyboard layout for non-us keyboards fixed in intl. 3.1 update.
no idea about US 3.1 / 3.2 if it will have support... would be nice to be able to find a way to rip the non-us keyboard fix out and put it in to US3.1/3.2 though if/when the fix comes out

thanks for the reminder, just stopped the download
As a UK T-Mobile customer, I will be trying this when an English version is released.
Does anyone know if the 1.17 Radio with this is identical to the 1.17 we already have?
I think in the past T-Mobile have included a couple of fixes in Radio ROMs upon release...
Looking forward to this - if it's poor I'll just go straight back to KDSKamal!

I would guess so - would think if T-Mobile went to the effort of making a new ROM for the MDA PRO they'd want to release it to all MDA PRO owners.
Don't have an idea as to what kind of time frame we're looking at though. Have ROMs in the past come out for T-MOIBLE.de before they come out in WWE? And if so was it days or weeks or longer before the english release?
I'm tempted to try it out just to see how it feels on the MDA even though it wouldn't make a lot of sense to me (who can barely count to ten in German!)
after I install this new ROM, do I need to install english input? because my keyboard layout is QWERTY not QWERTZ..
if yes, where can I get that english input?
thanks a million..

Thanks markymanxxx for your reply..
I do understand German, the problem for me is the keyboard input. I'm afraid if I press Y button on my keyboard, Z will show on the screen instead of Y.. and vice versa..
in case this problem appears, is there any way to fix this?
thanks again..

In that case, the problem could possibly be gotten around by selecting UK or US English in Start-Settings-System-Regional settings and restarting when it tells you, that should map the keys correctly I think
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\QUERTY
LAYOUT=x
Where x is a numeric value for a specific keyboard
So guys! how is this ROM compared to other custom made ROMs around?

Well, if it's anything like the last T-Mobile ROM (which I've reverted to from your WM5 ROM just for a little bit to try it out) it'll be a bit slower through the menus, will be as stable (and more stable than other cooked ROMs of the past) and will save you the effort of setting up your GPRS and MMS settings!!! (if you're on T-Mobile that is)
Camera app Version?
Could please somebody look which version the camera app on the new 3.3 is?
If its newer than 3.00 (Build22844), can somebody upload it here?
Greets
ROM is good
I have install the ROM and I have to say it is until now very fast and Stable ROM . I am returning actually from WM6 and I have to say this ROM compare to any WM6 much faster ( I have use all the WM6 available ROM's).
I am using it nowfor 24 hours and it has given no problems at all. amazingly I have after 24H still some 22mg RAM. Which means no memory leak what so ever

I have some bad news on that actually. I sent this message to T-Mobile support in the UK:
"Hello,
T-Mobile Germany, a few days ago released a new software download for the MDA PRO (AKU3.3). The current English T-Mobile ROM which I am using is extremely dated and I was wondering when an English release of this new download would be made availible on tm-phonedownloads.com?
Manythanks."
Unfortunately, this is the reply I received today:
"Good afternoon Mark.
Thank you for your email.
I am afraid that we will not be releasing another update for the MDA Pro. Generally speaking, we stop updating our phone software when it is discontinued. In this case, the MDA Pro is not part of our current lineup so another software update will not be offered.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards.
PaulByrne
T-Mobile"
Now I wouldn't consider that a definate no, 'cos I think the MDA PRO is discontinued in Germany too and they've released the update there but who knows... It doesn't look too good though :-( Think the future of the HTC Universal lies in the hands of the Devs...

[Q] How to add full RUSSIAN localisation in BLAZN Version ?

Hello to all xandroid community.
I have two questions about BLAZN 2.2 Release for HTC Touch Pro 2 / Rhodium
1. In Reference Version are more as 20 different Languages and localizations but in BLAZN version just 5 (EN DE FR IT SPA). How can I add a whole Russian localization incl. Keyboard / Dictionary / UI ?
I tried "More local 2" from Market, but there is still no Russian UI / Keyboard and some other Settings. In Russian are just a couple things, but not like under Reference version.
Can I just copy some files with extra localizations from Reference Version into BLAZN ? If YES, then how ?
2. How can I make a phonetic / translit Russian layout for my Hardware keyboard such as in WinMo ?
I thank all of you for support

I don't know much about the first as I've never used BLAZN. As far as the second is concerned, Google's documentation may be found here. Pretty much any character with a UTF-8 representation may be mapped to a key or key combination in the keymap. Judging from your post to another thread I take it you have the German version of the Rhodium 100. Am I correct? If so, you may find the thread on the German Keyboard Layout illuminating since it contains quite a bit of useful advice on editing it..

Thanks for that tip, but I'm more concerned about having full Russian localization.
I don't know where these localezation files might be... Maybe If I had the local settings like in Reference version, I wouldn't need hardware keyboard at all, cuz in Reference you can add second keyboard layout to SW-keyboard.

Display Languge

Hi. I have HTC Mozart from Orange UK and I can not change English display languge for Polish.
Is no Polish in Settings -> Region & Language -> Display Language.
Any idea how to install it?
windows phone 7 does not currently support that language, so no there is no way of doing it. though i've heard of a homebrew application which will let you use a keyboard which has been designed for it, and with copy/paste around the corner, when the homebrew xap's work again afterwards, then you should see them appear.
the other way is with the bigger update coming 2nd half of the year which should bring official support.

But orange PL have the same phone with Polish languge...
I have this same problem
As far as I've read, Windows Phone 7 only fully supports a few languages for this first release (English, French, Italian, German and Spanish), and Polish is not included. If the phones at the store support Polish, then its possible that their display units were customized to support it, but maybe their Retail phones were not. In other words, WP7 direct from Microsoft does not support Polish, but it's possible that Orange or the phone manufacturer customized certain aspects of their devices, and you'd have to ask your carrier/manufacturer about those customizations.
I would suggest going back to the store you got it from and inquiring about it.
Also, the big update coming later this year does not include support for Polish as well.

But Spanish is not supported in all WP7, for example I cant set Spanish in an HTC Surround. But in a Samsung Focus I can.

that is the fault of the carrier/oem. it is actually supported, but for some weird reason they (carrier/oem) turned it off. hopefully MS forces the multi-lingual capabilities and it can't be override...

So this means that a registry tweak can do the job (enable other languages)? I am wondering why someone hasn't found it yet...
yes a registry tweak can fix it, but it would be for languages only already built into the phone. The additional languages that you're wondering about can't be enabled as they aren't in the phone. Though this is also a questionable statement as I remember seeing a homebrew application keyboard with a lot of support for other languages.

Thanks for the reply but wait. What I need in the HTC Surround is Spanish, it has to be definitely built in...
which is true based on versions in other countries. but yea, i'm not sure how to get it enabled. i wonder if you'll get it as part of the no-do update?

Solution: German APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD with Xoom

Hi to all,
annoyed of searching and not finding any solution to have a german keylayout on my German Apple Wireless Keyboard connected to the Zoom, i wrote my own German (QWERTZ) .kl and .kcm files. Now for all of those, who wants a german Keyboardlayout on the Xoom with their german Apple Keyboard, here are the files to install on your rooted device.
Please let me know, if it works for you.
Greetings from Germany
no feedback at all :-( ?
Well, what have you expected?
I guess most Apple keyboard owners own no xoom, most Xoom owners use the Moto one.
Never the less: appreciate your work and please keep it up!
Sent from my HTC Desire
Hope you still use and update this mod allready wrote to your thread on handy-faq.de today i have my xoom since two weeks and my apple wireless keyboard and apple wirless magic mouse since one week and realy love your work. I wish the would be F1 (menu should be F3) for home, and F2 for last used apps (with that and Tiamat 2.2.2 you could make screenshots when you longpress F2)

Swype 3.25 works

I've been hoping for something like Swype for a while, and now with the 3.25 beta it works on my A43. Now, if only it had a hexagonal ATOMIK layout instead of that silly QWERTY one! (But there are patent issues with the ATOMIK layout.)
Yeah, it also works on the 101 now.
Only problem:
The language settings don't show all languages that are listed as supported in the offical resoulution / language table.
As an example, German is missing. (Don't know about all others)

I have swype on my HTC Legend phone.
I think swype on a A101 is difficult.
I use the multiling-keyboard which has 'big' keys for easy touch.
hmmm
im not really a fan of swype
ive downloaded flex t9 and i use that on all my devices
it does have swype like abilities but i feel its better
just my opinion
I used swipe but found swiftkey better for me. Use on both SGS & 101
Just intalled it on my 101... REALLY liking this new version (wasn't a big fan of the older version).
Is it supposed to be centered like that and not taking up the whole screen, or is that just a problem on our devices?
Either way, seems to be working very welll!
Using thumb keyboard loving it

Yes, German is missing. Strangely some people in German forums got it working anyway. Don't know how they did it.
