How to change keyboard input on external keyboard? - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a Lenovo N5902A today, so far very impressed,apart from the fact it is a German layout because I live in Germany and the input is US. so some keys are incorrect. Anyone know how to change it?
I have tried a few apps, they don't work though.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Virtual keyboard diacritics

Does anyone know how to change the characters displayed by the virtual keyboard? I need romanian characters, but all I have is french/german and other characters I'm not interested in, since I never use them.
I believe these are hardcoded in a DLL, but I don't know which one.
As far as I know, sym.[country-code].txt is only used for hardware keyboards, but that's not what I want either, since I have a WM6 Trinity (i.e. has only software keyboard).
Any hints will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

it probably works, but since htc has changed most of the ui with custom programs, you wont get much from a program like this. more than half of the screens/apps will be still in english.
maybe in the future someone will crack the ace hellas extrom, or share the greek mui files.

[Q] - Can't write with S-Pen

Hi there, I maby got a little noobish Question for you, but I can't write with the S-Pen.
I can write with it on images, and on s-note and stuff like that, but I can't write facebook status, sms or other
places where u can use keyboard or s-pen. Hope someone can help!
In the samsung keyboard, press the button to the left of the spacebar and enter T mode. From there you can write with your s-pen.

Thats the problem, I have no T mode, think I have turned it off somehow!
Have you tried changing the language option under keyboard settings? I had to change S-voice language to English UK from English US, to get S-pen working on S-voice.

I was having the exact same issue with write input (not just for S-Voice).
Still don't know how it magically changed to English US while watching youtube video's but it did for some reason.
I imagine this is a Samsung bug as I don't see any reason why this should not work for a US keyboard.
I've disabled/removed all the English US keyboards where possible so this won't happen again until it gets fixed with a software update.
Thanks shadow_007 for finding this fix :good:

[Q] Language of Physical Keyboard

Hello there. I'd like to use physical keyboard and mouse(with OTG) while I chatting or surfing with my phones, however I faced a problem at G3 while doing this. G3 doesn't support to Turkish characters(Ğ,Ü,Ç,Ö,Ş,ı) while using the physical keyboard. It already has Turkish language pack(LG Keyboard) and more keyboards which include our characters. Htc gives an option to physical keyboard like ''Choose input mode'' when it connected but LG Doesn't or I can't find it. Could you please help me how I switch the physical keyboard's language? Thanks..
Software
I know that this an old post, but I got the same problem with my G2, and found the only solution (I guess). I had to download a app to change lay-out. Since I got a Logitech, there was no problems finding one. Might be far more difficult if you are using other manufacturer.
Unfortunately, I've got the same problem.
I can 'switch' languages with Ctrl + Space (or was it Shift + Space?), but the keyboard layout doesn't change (even though the language icon changes (DE -> EN -> FR in my case).
I hope they'll fix that when Android 5.1 comes out for the G3 (if it ever does).
No solutions to this?

[Q] Alternate keyboard layout for external keyboard without root?

Hi,
Devices: FireTV with actual firmware (non root) and K830 keyboard.
Works flawless (keyboard an mouse), but ...
I got german keyboard layout and the layout in FireTV is english.
Its ok, but it would be much better to get a german keyboard layout.
Any ways to get that without root (or even with root, although i guess its impossible to get it for me)?
Thanks in advance.
I actually have a question about logitech k830 itself.
Does it work without any issue with Amazon Fire TV?
