Xperia Pro/Neo/V/L :: Not Recognizing When Open The Physical Keyboard
Apr 19, 2012
My phone is not recognizing when I open the physical keyboard. I do not ever use the soft keyboard and it used to be the case that I would never see the soft keyboard as long as I had the keyboard tray open. But lately, I cannot make the soft keyboard go away. I have not upgraded to ICS or made any other changes to the settings.
I have a Xperia pro (MK16a) So when you're entering text, if you hold down on the screen, you have the option to choose Japanese input and Chinese input. And when you choose Japanese input, you can also open up the setting menu, and inside the menu there are options for physical keyboard, and vitural keyboard. Although Chinese input does not have those settings, but surprisingly I CAN use Chinese input with my physical slide out keybaord. BUT, it is NOT the case with Japanese input. Please give me some guidence on how this works, is it a BUG or something? Because clearly it SUPPOSE to have the option to use my slideout keyboard for Japanese input.
I love my phone but for some reason the white light and the predictive text on longer work whenever I use the physical keyboard. I know I have done soemthing but I have no idea what
when typing with the physical keyboard, the Z and the Y is changed. So the Y is next to the U and the Z is next to the X. How can I change this? I want to have it the other way around.
I recently bought a Xperia Mini Pro and updated today to ICS 4.0.4. I updated using PCC and then did a repair also using SUS. [No Flashing] Everything went fine except the physical keyboard settings I guess. Because after updating, when I started typing using the physical keyboard, the key wasn't matching. I mean, I typed something and something else appears.
my keyboard has arabic characters as well. But after the ICS update the symbols on the physical keyboard (the ones in blue) dont correspond when I type them out. E.g:
" : " types as " & " " ) " types as " % " " @ " types as " : "
My keyboard now supports symbols such as $, Pound Sign etc. I dont really use arabic but only the english keyboard.Is there fix for this or is it settings related? My SI number is on the list and my android build number is 4.1.B.0.431?
I am wanting to jump on the Android bandwagon but was holding out due to the lack of a physical keyboard. I am on AT&T right now and have a Palm 680 - waiting for the Palm Pre to be released but it keeps being rumoured to be delayed.I know the Dream from Rogers can be unlocked to use on AT&T's 3G bands but that due to internal memory issues it can't be upgraded to new OS. But it seems to be the best alternative for my needs at this time.
Anyone have this phone and using it on AT&T? Any other ideas on what I should get given my requirements? Thanks in advance for any help on the matter
My BB Torch keyboard suddenly stopped working and cannot even input the password to unblock. I found out after several trials (don't ask me how many) that if I slided open and closed 2 times and then I press twice the "alt" button the keyboard starts working. Also the side button that I had for the camera is not working. Digital keyboard works fine. When the keyboard does not work, the outside keys (call, back, BB, touch pad, hang up) do not work either..
My Torch is only 2 months old, a few days back all physical keys went dead, - all in the slideout keyboard and all 5 keys at the bottom of the screen and lock button. The scroll function of the middle key however is available at all times as well as function of the side buttons on the right of the touch screen.
Also, ever since that problem started, whenever i punch a text and stop in the middle/end of a word and try to scroll the cursor back, it wouldnt move, instead it starts changing the letter last before the cursor - i.e., makes it capital or replaces it with a symbol.
The problem used to be fixed with a battery pull, but how many times in a day one can do that? But today it got worse - even after a battery pull it hanged again in 2 minutes.
I did a search in the forum for info about this, but didn't find anything. I'm wondering why you can't locks caps or numbers with the physical keyboard like you can with the virtual keyboard on the Torch? This as to be near the top of my list of most frustrating and counfounding 'features' of the Torch that drives me nuts on a daily basis. Is there any software update available that can make the physical keyboard work the same way as the virtual keyboard when it comes to locking caps and numbers?
I got a new BB Torch 9800 a few days ago and the physical keyboard won;t work (and has never worked) when I slide it out. Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere I need to activate, or is this likely to be a device fault? (By the way, I downloaded the latest software update and rebooted and took out the battery etc...) Everything else seems to work fine.
I have a 9800 torch 4 gb black , i got it from a friend with a smashed screen and digitizer , i changed both of them but the keyboard doesnt work , i changed to a new keyboard and still the same problem , all the other buttons work but the physical keyboard , it lights up when i turn the blackberry on .i made a hard reset , changed the os but still same probem .
the keyboard won't work at all in the OS. Still when the device is turned off, and i press Up (on keypad) + Power it goes to bootloader, therefore the physical keyboard seems fine. Nonetheless it would not work in the recovery, so i cant use d-pad to update.zip root and other stuffs?
Physical keyboard lights are not working when display is fully up. Keyboard lights work only when display is halfway up. Lights go off just a millimeter before when display reach it top position.Can anyone suggest is this a software issue or there is something physically wrong with phone (slider-switch is slightly misplaced or broken)?

Is there a way to adjust/add to the auto-correct dictionary for the physical keyboard of the XPRT? On my SOLD BB9650, this was done the first time I picked up the phone. Now, I can't. This phone (while waiting for Gingerbread), would be THE BEST, if it could fix this little problem...
I frequently turn the Triumph sideways to use the larger keyboard (easier to press buttons). After the first few letters I press are displayed, I can hear the phone click to acknowledge that I pressed a key, but nothing is displayed on screen.Items of note:
-The audible click when a key is pressed but doesn't display is not the same sound as when a key is pressed and actually displays correctly on-screen.
-often, but not always, when the phone is turned upright, the missing key presses will appear after all as successfully typed in the display.This is my first smartphone. Is this a problem with the gyro-rotation logic? Is this a common problem with phones in general? Is it a symptom reated to scren protectors?
-I have not removed any screen protector meant to be permanent to the phone. I believe there was a bluish film meant to be removed (which I did - at least therewas definitely one over the camera lens)
-I did carefully apply a ZAGG Invisible Shield universal screen protector. NOTE: It was not quite as large as as the Triumph screen and thus the top edge of it lies slightly into the front-facing camera lens and the sensor on the upper right.
almost technophobe pal Greg has an X3-02 and the keyboard can't lock. He's getting sick of all the newe anniversaries and stuff the phone writes in his poacket!Is this a firmware upgrade issue, or does he just have to live with it?His f/w version is 05.68, variant 255.01 of 10-12-10, the phone an RM-639.
how to fix my E7 without going to NCP? When you open the keyboard, it does not register that it has been opened, and also only the top row of the keyboard works (does numbers correctly but characters wrong). I've already tried doing a hard reset on the phone which was to no avail.
Is there a way to keep the display in landscape view when you slide the keynboard open? I have a car cradle that I used with my 9700. I now use the cradle with my Torch. The Torch is thicker than the 9700, so I have to slide the Torch open and slide just the keybord section in it fits nice aNd tight. I want to be able to swivel the cradle to allopw landscape view, but since the keyboard is open the screen won't change from portraight to landscape view.
My BB Tour is completely frozen; the trackball moves the cursor but that's it! The keyboard functions do not work at all; they are completely frozen. I can't open any windows. I have taken the battery out and tried to reset it but that's not working and its been almost 48 hrs now with the battery sitting out!
When I open the screen to use the Qwerty keyboard the screen turns off. I sent it back to RIM, but they said it was fine and sent it back. The screen won't stay on when flipped open.
I've pressed and held the power button. Didn't work. The hard reset is not working. I tried pressing the off button near the SIM and tried turning it on again. Didn't work.
Also when i hook it onto the charger the notification light doesn't light up. PC Companion isn't recognizing it either.
