Xperia X10 Mini/pro :: Keyboard Keys Symbols Are Messed Up?
May 7, 2012
I have got a new Xperia X10 mini Pro. Th problem is that the slide out keyboard mapping is probably wrong or some setting needs to be done.When I press a key with "?" on the slideout keyboard I get a ":" on the screen. This happens for other symbols also Numbers and alphets are correct only the symbols are messed up.
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?
In my brand new xperia x10 mini pro the slide out keyboard keys are mixed up - instead of "," I get "?", instead of "." I get "?" etc. I run software update, software repair - nothing changed. I get only 2 types of Chineese as Input method.
At the top of the screen, in the statusline, there are some symbols I don't understand. I get warnings that I have shut down datatraffic and roaming, but there is still a small R on the statusline. Furthermore there was two arrows to the left, and this change into small boxes with a red cross when I switched off the datatraffic My question is: is my phone sat to download and upload with the R still on, wich will probably cost a lot of money, and how can I switch it off if necessary? Witch services will I not be able to use with the datatraffic switched off?
I am unable to access the special symbols - when I press the symbol key on my phone keypad nothing happens. I've tried software updates and asking my supplier. Do i need to return it to my supplier for them to return to Sony?
The keys on the key pad of my BB curve 8520 are inverted (4 of them) when I press the A key I get the Q and vise versa and so are the W and the Z. The funny thing is that the symbol keys on those same keys are correct! How I can correct this.
I have been using the Z2 for some time now and totally in love with the hardware design and the nicely laid out interface. Though sony decided to discriminate the Indian users by not giving the noise cancellation head or the LTE model ....considering its 50K phone here ... which is not cheap
Aside from what mentioned above there are 2 more things that’s bother me...
1. There are some bloatware on the phone provided by sony but there are no options to uninstall them. 2. While on call nothing else works the soft keys gets disabled, you can’t type a msg the keyboard doesn’t come up. This was how it was in my Z as well. In the forum some people mentioned that it got resolved in the 4.3 update, however i don’t think it is yet.
I have a E72 latest firmware bought in the UK, made in Finland.The keyboard appears to be a English design with no other symbols but the software seems to be finnish becaue when i press the full stop button it comes up with ä and i have to press ! to use the full stop. There are other keys like this too.
Is it possible when using the keyboard, and the symbol key to select a symbol etc, that after you've selected the symbol you want and you then press the space bar, that the keyboard reverts back to letters rather than remaining on the symbol page?
I bought this phone yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to type a message. The slideout keyboard punctuation keys are mixed up. All the following characters are not responding correctly, e.g. I try to ut in a "period" and it types a "question mark", etc.() , . : ; ? ! @I called tech support and was told that I need to go back to factory settings and that I need to download an update, I just did that but the problem is not fixed
i bought a sk17i about a week ago and after reading another user's post of telling about the bad quality of SK17i i'm abit worriedwhen i kept my phone power on for more than about two days its "Menu key" stopped responding. but it was fine after i restarted it. and two days after that the same thing happened to the "Back key". but it also became normal after restarting it.i saw in a forum, they say to restart the phone once a day to refresh the memory. but that's a big ****. i had nokia c5-03 earlier and it didn't gave me such trouble.
I was just wondering if there's a way to disable these capacitive keys on the bottom? I want to disable it because I often use apps, and accidentally touch these keys, it's becoming really annoying. This is true especially when I'm using the camcorder app, and my right hand touches one of the keys and it exits. Or is there another camera/camcorder app that disables the keys?
I just bought my XPERIA ST15i last May 15, 2012. Well, the phone with me now went through a series of replacement on the day I bought it. With the first store, I had it replaced TWICE on that SAME DAY because of the issue of it, XPERIA ST15i, activating its home and back keys by itself. For the third replacement because of the same issue, it ended with a refund. So I went to another store to buy another one, and luckily, that malfunction doesn't manifest anymore. Now, after about 2 weeks, that malfunction started to have its episodes again. The menu and back keys are now activating themselves whenever I'm using an app, or just the browser.
Today adventitiously i found bug. If in album mode tap on key "12!?", release and without delay tap on space then process com.sonyericsson.textinput.uxp dies. This is no so critical, but service restarts(?) with broken functionality: text in field is not visible and phisycal keyboards can't change layout.
I'm having a problem with the slide-out keyboard on my Xperia Mini Pro. Most of the buttons on the top row have stopped working, so I can no longer type the following letters: Q E R Y U O. This renders the keyboard useless. They all suddenly stopped working at the same time, so my guess is that its probably software related? I'm running Android 2.1 update 1.
My Xperia Mini Pro has a fault with the keyboard - when I slide it out it activates, ie the background light comes on but then it goes out. Sometimes it stays on a for a few seconds whilst fully open but then goes off. Nothing physical has happened to the phone and it doesn't seem to be a loose connection or anything. I've tried updating the software but that didn't help.
I have an x10 mini pro which has been great until today (on android 1.6) All of a sudden some of the keys on the slide out keyboard stopped working. Did a factory reset which didnt solve the problem. Decided to upgrade to android 2.1 and now none of the keys on the slide out keyboard work. Tried to reinstall android 2.1 and still doesnt work. Also tried the repair bit on pc companion.
I did my Mini Pro update yesterday, and after it I got issues with keyboard - A/Q and Z/W changed and I got also troubles with symbols. They arent on places that they should be.
I have my Mini Pro (2.3.4) set to never use the dictionary/make word suggestions when I'm using the slide-out keyboard. However, it still underlines each word as I am typing it, which is silly and distracting. Is there any way I can turn this off?
I recently used someone's HTC One with dedicated number keys and was curious how to enable that. I exhausted every option on phone and even checked some of the popular apps like SwiftKey and nothing.
the querty keyboard backlight on my x10 mini pro keeps turning off in the dark or bad light. I can manage to keep the backlight on, while I am trying to type without it cutting out after about 2 seconds. Sometimes it won't even turn back on even after pressing a key.
I gladly installed the 2.1 update on my girlfriends mobile and everything worked fine. However, under "Settings - Language&Keyboard" there is NO menu item for Android keyboard.... As it appears, she uses the standard T3 enty mode and simple does not like the recommended words. There is no way to set it back now and I am thinking about playing it back to 1.6 despite the advantages coming with it.
recently my x10 mini pro can't use the touch screen when sliding the keyboard. Then just yesterday, when i slide the kayboard out, the whole screen turn black.
