Hello all. When I set my keyboard to compact qwerty is always reverts back to full keyboard. I have also tried the other settings but with the same result. Done a resstart etc but still no luck, does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Many Thanks Jez
Problem solved, with the keyboard open i.e you start writing a text. Tap on the white triangle at the bootm select your predered keyboard and thats it.
Any one else have this issue and were they able to resolve it?
When ever I try to enter an appt into the calendar my touch input switches to a numeric pad with a P and a W. It is the same pad people have gotten with Opera 9. It does not switch back unless I go to Opera (it was never open) and touch on the address bar. At this point it will go back to the Qwerty touch input. This is a very clunky work around but it is the only one I am aware of.
It will do this even if I use the hardware keyboard to input data in the appt fields. Anyone know what causes this or how we can fix it?
Because you didn't mention witch rom you use I can only say try another rom. I never have had this problem. Or you can try a hard reset first.
I am using the stock ATT rom. I have hard reset it a few times for other reasons and it is still the same.
If you are entering text it stays as qwerty but as soon as you go to one of the drop down boxes for the time of the appt it switches to the number pad with the w and the p whichis fine as you are entering numbers. Unfortunately it does not change back to qwerty even if you try and add somting in the text boxes again.
If you open Opera and click first on the address bar, then on the Google search bar, the qwerty keyboard usually comes back.
I'm using a swedish version of desire-z and sometimes (too often) the phone decides that i'm trying to write capital letters when i'm using the swedish letters Å Ä and Ö. This even happens in the middle of words and the only way to type small letters is by using the software kwyboard. The shift button does nothing.
This is really starting to bug me! Does anyone have a solution?
If so please let me know.
Thanks!

I think those letters can only be used in upper case with the keyboard. There is some info in the dev section.

That is not true. I have the nordic version myself, but I am not experiencing the same issue as lugiber Mine works both in upper case at the beginning of words, and in the middle of a text in lower case
Edit: Lugiber: Does it happen with all the extra letters, or just some of them?
Yes, my mistake. I have re-read the thread in the dev section myself.
Looks like it is a bug at the moment, but shutting and re-opening the keyboard helps??

Ah, didn't know that opening and closing the hardware keyboard fixed the issue. Thanks for the tip! It's still annoying that i have to do this just for the simplest functionality on my phone! Hope the fix will come soon.
(Btw if someone is thinking of buying swiftkey don't do it until a fix has been released becase it will cause åä and ö to constantly be capital letters.)
Crap! I really love this phone, too bad htc didn't have sense enough to beta test the phone enough before the release.
But if they did i guess the wait would have been even longer. And that wouldn't have been fun!

I have no idea. I never write in Danish or Norwegan so those button pretty much stay untouched. Sorry!

I had the same problem with my DZ in the beginning, and traced the problem down to language selection of the keyboard!
Try to slide out the keyboard and watch two letters pop up in the notification bar - for mine it was EN, and figurated out that it was set to english! After I changed it to Danish, the problem went away! Soo kool...

I noticed that the first day I used the DZ, and changed it... maybe thats why I havent experienced the same problem as TS
Strange - I have a nordic Z also and my danish letters is upper case also sometimes..
I have set my keyboard to danish and T9 (guessing words..).
Either we need to play around more with the language settings or there is a bug...
Hmm, strange. I have set my keyboard to swedish and still experience the issue. Hope there is a bug fix for this soon. I don't want to wear out my keyboard hinges just yet.

One solution is select STOCK virtual QWERTY as default input method. That way the bug goes away. Installing any 3rd party virtual keyboard will cause the bug.

I have the same problem, and unfortunately this didn't solve it. :-(

works on touch
mine works fine if i use the default "Touch input" keyboard, but doesn't work on any other keyboard i have tried. So far only tested "Scandinavian keyboard" and "Smart Keyboard pro".
The fact that it does work consistently (without having to open/close the hardware keyboard) with the default keyboard but not in any other, makes me think that the keyboard sends the code for a capital letter and probably sends some correction info along that the default keyboard listens to but the others ignore... just my guess, i really have no experience with how the keyboards work in android...
I have investigated this CAPS nordic problem too. I have found few ways to generate the situation. It appears to generate caps when you haven't activated textfield by tapping it. For example when you write two sms messages in a row. At the first message you tap the textfield to active it and write the message. After sending the first message the text field is allready "active" (cursor blinking there). And if you start to write immediately without closing keyboard or tapping text field it generates only capital nordic letters. Then if you tap the textfield to really activate it again then the capital nordic letters are gone.
I'm not sure if this is the only problem with this CAPS thing but that is easy way to generate it. I think there might be few other situations where CAPS problem exists because sometimes pressing menu -key twice (open and close menu) caps problem disappears but sometimes not. Then sometimes it disappears when closing and opening the keyboard sometimes not. Best results I have had with tapping text field from screen to activate it.
I have informed HTC Support for this matter but all I have got back is: Hard reset your device. I have once done that but it doesn't help either.

My experience is slighty different from this one.. But if i write a SMS with HW keyboard, send it and exit the sms thread iam in and go to a new one and write there, the cap letters will be there.. This is if i use the HW keyboard during this .. If i then close the HW keyboard and pull it out again they are gone!

I think it is the same situation. When you don't close the HW keyboard and you go to writing text without activating text box by tapping screen you get capital nordic letters.
I got reply from HTC Support from England that they are not aware of that problem (after few replys where I explained the situation) and they gave me Norwegian support phone number, but because of costs to phone there I'll asked if they could give me an email address. Plus I can then get some documentation about what have been discussed even if support person changes. I hope we soon get official fix for this.
Hi there, I have a bootloader unlocked Xperia Arc. I've run Sony ICS beta, SinMIUI, CM9 FXP 125+ and JJ's Hybrid mod 3.2. In every rom I have the same problem-
When I go to enter text while in the messaging app, occasionally the keyboard won't default to capitalize the first letter. When this is the case, I can't enter anything into the text box. I can tap on the keys all I want and the keyboard thinks that it is entering text (words will pop up in the word suggestion box) but nothing gets entered into the text box.
The only way to get around this appears to be waiting. This may have happened in other apps as well but I mostly use messaging which is where I notice it.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix?
I'm having a couple of problems since upgrading my phone to MIUI 2.12.21. It seems that researching the issue, the Toolbox has been removed and to my knowledge, there isn't an easy means of getting it back. Is there something else I can download that will change the operator logo on the Status Bar? It takes of almost 50% of the Status Bar. I tried calling ROGERS but they said there isn't a means to changing it without "Jailbreaking" your phone, to which I assume she meant "Rooting".
I didn't tell her I rooted my S3 because I didn't want that information on my account, but I've already installed the latest version of MIUI, but with the Toolbox gone, I can't find a means of changing the operator logo on the status bar.
The second problem I'm having is that the Google Voice Input key on the keyboard seems to be missing. It was replaced with a "," or a "/". She said there was an Android update which removed the Voice Input key on the S3. I tried holding down the input key to see if it would default back, but it only took me to the Keyboard Input Settings. Changing anything in there still didn't fix the problem.
Any ideas?
