Ok so when I mean keyboard I mean the on screen one. So I want to change keyboard so I can use another language.
Does anyone know how to change keyboards? I downloaded the keyboard and chose that keyboard. But when I type its still the same old HTC keyboard.
Thanks.
open up a text box eg Google search and long press the box then select input method choose your keyboard and done.

Thanks. I will try that. Also i prefer to use the gingerbread keyboard.
I use smart keyboard pro and use gingerbread theme and key resize to emulate the stock GB launcher. there are lots of language pack you can download from the market as well

Apologies to AndroidBoss who I've already pm'd but for the benefit of a wider audience I wondered if anyone has done this yet?
I have intermittant problems with the flex cable and have found a replacement with keyboard membrane on ebay. I've replaced the screen before so know how to open the phone up but like the threadstarter I cant find anything on taking the keyboard apart.
Is it messy and is it easy to put back together?
Hello,
I own a Sony Xperia Ion running Android 4.0.3 and I am not able to enable the Microphone Icon in the default keyboard of my phone.
I have done almost everything from enabling the checkbox in
Settings-->Language & input-->Xperia Keyboard-->Google Voice typing Key.
Still I can only see the icon in the keyboard (beside spacebar) but it is in disabled state. Clicking on it does not help either. Please help. Am I missing something here?
Regards
Maneesh
P.S. I have posted this question in the below forums too but still waiting a solution.

if you could provide a screenshot...that would be amazing
Hi everyone,

Anyone have this issue or the solution?
Sorry for bad english and thanks for help

If using on Sense 5.5, does it use Xperia emoji or the stock Sense ones?
EDIT: Flashing on Sense as we speak.

Original z1 keyboard doesn't have language button, take a look at your keyboard, do you see language button? I do.

How do you know that? How do you change between languages?

Because I can see on your keyboard "EN" right next to "space" button, this doesn't exist on z1 4.3 keyboard, it switches between languages automatically according to your writing. More clear answer would be it uses multi prediction.
Here I'll show you.
You can see in the screenshot I wrote on my native language as well without having to change languages it did it by itself and also predicted the word by it self.
For the record latest z1 keyboard ( the one I ported) is actually more accurate then the one you ported from 4.2.2 since it has latest SwiftKey predictions integrated while the one your keyboard uses are about 6 months old.
Give it a try you'll see. ( the biggest difference is with the languages that are not English)

As I said mine was taken from a 4.3 Stock ROM NOT a 4.2.2 one. I don't see another language... I see only Latin characters. Try to type smth in Greek or Russian. Mine has the swype function too.
Anyway this my last post here.
Bro!
Wow, good keyboard bro, i tomorrow buy HTC One and use you PORT!
I'm his cousin and the screen shots come from my z1 also the rom provided for the porting (wink)
@gianton
That is old z1 keyboard we had on 4.2.2
The keyboard we have now is the one @Shan89 ported

Here german and English as you see again there's no button, if I use for example English + Russian of course I'll get language button due simple fact it's 2 different types, Latin + Cyrillic, but if used 2 Latin or Cyrillic languages you'll never see the language button.
BTW every xperia keyboard has "swype"
Take a look at the second screen shoot does your settings look like mine? It doesn't because it's the old 4.2.2 keyboard.
Ripping it out from 4.3 Z1 rom doesn't change the fact that your keyboard simply isn't 4.3 Z1 keyboard.
In fact I'll snap a screenshot for you directly from Xperia Z1
Last 3 photos are straight from z1 on 4.3 I've taken as we speak.

The keyboard works fine, but I'm using 3 languages and neither does is show a switch language button, nor does it recognize the language automatically.

Works fine for me, the language button is no longer present in z1 keyboard unless you're using Cyrillic + Latin.
Check your settings, have you enabled all languages? You gotta enable language after downloading it.

1. The Xperia Chinese keyboard has an english option on which you could enable T9 layout.
2. The Xperia Keyboard that's uploaded on playstore has returned the T9 layout so just download it from there.
I have T9.
