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?

Hi guys =)
I recently bought a HTC desire Z (European Version).
Everything is perfect except I have problems with typing Chinese.
Actually, I can , of course, type in Chinese by activating the CHinese keyboard and then type with the touchscreen.
But the problem is that I can't type Chinese with the physical keyboard...It's always stuck in French/English.
Anyone has ideas on how to solve this ?
Thanks =)
But the physical keyboard doesn't have Chinese letters
FN + Space
@omarsalmin: We can use Pinyin as input method to write chinese characters
@n3ph thanks for your reply but I did try that too...
the problem is that I only have English and French available for the physical keyboard...
So it looks like I'm stuck...
Is there a way to add Chinese ?
You could try installing Google Pinyin IME from the market. It adds another keyboard to the phone
I have the same problem
Did you found a way to type chinese with the physical keyboard? I have the same problem.
Hi
If somebody has physical keyboard connected via Bluetooth to XOOM please check is it possible somehow to use 2 different languages on it. And how to switch between it.
Normally I use 2 virtual keyboard English and Russian one, but I'm thinking to buy Motorola Bluetooth keyboard to type letter and etc. I know that on Moto keyboard only English alphabet, but it's easy to make engraving on it to have 2 languages, so I need only to check is it working or not.
As I know original Moto keyboard somehow could have only English language (even when you set language strictly to russian. The on screen keyboard will show Russian keyboard, but when you will touch the physical keyboard it automatically just types the English letters). So is it possible to change somehow?
Which virtual keyboard you're using for Russian? I've tried SmartKeyboard Pro, but the layout is not that good...

I use standard virtual Honeycomb keyboard)) But know I prefer to use bluetooth keyboard
I figured out how to use native keyboard after posting
I believe the regular keyboard will work once we figure out how to set Locale to Russian as well. I know Russian is supported by Honeycomb, but by default only English and Spanish are the options. Anyone knows how to enable other locales?
Tablet keyboard
i use an on screen r virtual kwyboard on my zoom that i downloaded from the market. it is call "Tablet Keyboard" made by "Pretty Easy" ther isa free onethat i tested out and it was great. it has an option to use a full keyboard or it split the keyboad in half with one half on the left for the left tumb, and the other half on the right. it also works in connection with the build in keyboard onmy zoom. so there always the option in th lower right hand near the time where you can switch between the two keyboards if you like. you do have to check the boxx in keyboard setting to make it active. i think they even have a paid version for only ¢99.

I know such app, but I'm trying to find answer is it possible to connect Bluetooth keyboard to Motorola XOOM and use it with 2 languages. Like it's possible in virtual. Right know I got answer from Motorola support that their Bluetooth keyboard support only English language, also I got the same reply form one of the owner of such keyboard.
Now I'm trying to find solution to print on 2 languages English and Russia from any Bluetooth keyboard that could be connect to Motorola XOOM.

Try this:
Select Russian virtual keyboard as input and start typing on Bluetooth keyboard. I think it should type in Russian... But I don't have a keyboard to try it. Mine should be here in a few days, I'll give it a shot.

One owner of Moto keyboard and XOOM tired and told. Even if you have only one language Russian, the Moto Bluetooth keyboard still type on the English language(
But if you will get it, try to click SHIFT+CTRL or SHIFT+ALT (if you have such keys on the keyboard), may be it will recognize it. I read somewhere that Moto keyboard support hot command like CTRL+C or V to copy and past command. So may be it will change language of keyboard like a normal PC.
Thank you in advance.
Hi everyone, I am having a small problem with my HTC Desire Z. Its rooted, with Virtuos V.2.0.0 on it atm. Since I rooted it, I am encountering weird problem with my hardware keyboard. Since mobile was bought in Switzerland it comes with QWERTZ keyboard. My mobiles language settings are English(Switzerland). If I try to type something not only that Y and Z are swapped, most of secondary symbols are too. I tried pressing Fn and Space to change to German but there is only English under default languages and I cant find way to add additional languages in there.
HBoot version is:HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC10***** )
Any thoughts or ideas?
PS
I found some other post which mentions Y <-> Z problem, but since I have other symbols swapped too, its not that much helpful to me
How do I change this from English? It's the default language and there are no other options to choose. I want to use Simplified Chinese with Pinyin input on the keyboard. The soft keyboard works fine, only the hardware keyboard has this problem.
I'd like to know it too. I'm using a DZ with stock rom and spanish hw keyboard, but I have only bthe english layout...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Well, this worked fine in my Windows Mobile phone. I could switch back and forth from English to Chinese on both soft or hard keyboards. But from reading around, I seem to find that the keyboard is locked to one language. What a dumb idea. Yet another stupid problem with my phone that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm using GO keyboard from the android market. You're able to download multiple language packs as well and Pinyin is working fine for me even on the physical keyboard.
Thanks for the advice, it works great. A bit of trouble to get Chinese working correctly, but it's fine now.
Glad to help. =D
Other keyboards that support language change via hardware keyboard are Smart Keyboard Pro and AnySoftKeyboard.
Dear,
Previous year I bought a desire Z in Belgium. It came with a french hardware keyboard (in Belgium and France, we use a AZERTY keyboard).
So the device is equipped with a AZERTY keyboard.
A few weeks ago I bought a completely new motherboard for this phone.
I replaced the board (it is a 'revision' board I think, some Chinese ROM was installed).
I rooted the new phone/motherboard immediately and installed Andromadus Mimicry.
Now I have a problem that the hardware keyboard is 'programmed' in the ROM as a qwerty layout.
So if I type a 'a' on the keyboard, the motherboard interpretes this as a 'q'.
How can I change this?
Anyone have an idea?
I know that there is a folder /system/usr/keychars and also a folder /system/usr/keylayout.
Maybe I need to replace files stored in this folder, if so, what files do I need to replace and where can I find them?
Thx very much 4 assistance!
cyberbozzo
I have managed to remap my hardware keyboard with the help of this guide There a couple of threads about this sort of problem with Mimicry,That guide works on gingerbread and hopefully it may be of use to you.
I have find the thread with the guide, thx.
But it is quietly impossible to change all the keys (including characters, using FN and so on)...
I have in the /system/usr/keychars a fome vision keypad fra.kcm
This is the layout I need to use.
Does anybody have an idea how I can 'activate' this layout?
