i cant figure out how do i switch between languages... need a tip or two ;3
Go to setting -> language and keyboard -> android keyboard settings. I assume you were using the stock keyboard. You can also just hold the ?123 button and the same screen should appear
ye, i did that, i have added the languages i want, but what im asking is, How do i SWITCH(not add) languages?

exactly as the title says, i cant figure out how to switch to a different keyboard,
there's no option under the language and keyboard settings to actually select one of the other keyboard i have installed, any ideas??
I'm on cm7 also and only have one keyboard selection but I install swype beta and never looked back...do you want swype or the old sammy keyboard? Swype was pretty easy to install but I'm not sure about the old keyboard from froyo rom...idk if there is a work around to get it on cm7? You may be out off luck for that keyboard?

Are you looking to actually just select a new keyboard or install a totally new one
If selecting make sure it checked in language and keyboard settings and long press in any text box, choose input method and select the desired keyboard. thats how I did it

yeah that was it, i was used to having the option to select a keyboard in the settings and didn't know about the long press any text box, thanks
as title really, I wondered if it was possible to have the comma on the first screen as it's a pain toggling screens just to press it. I know it's on the first screen on HTC IME but I prefer the samsung keyboard.
Thanks
Go to your Gingerbread keyboard settings (by the settings button on the keyboard, or by the Android Settings menu -> Language and Keyboard), and there should be an option for 'Voice input'. Disable it (or put it on the symbols keyboard only), and you'll get the comma back.

Oh, are you talking about the Samsung keyboard? Yeah, that's not the Gingerbread keyboard - and IMO, it's garbage.
Go to the market, and download Keyboard from Android 2.3:

Hi all,
i couldnt find anything on the forum about this. I have a german dock keyboard button layout, but the input is still in english. This means, that Y and Z are switched and a few other buttons, so thats quite annoying ;-)
Couldnt find a setting to change that, can someone help me out?
Cheers
By default the keyboard uses the key layout based on the system language, but you can change the key layout in the settings under language&input/configure input methods/active input methods/
Deselect "Use system language", select "Asus German(Germany) Keyboard" and deselect "Asus English(US) Keyboard" (you have to do it in this order, you can't deselect English first)
Also make sure you are using ASUS' keyboard as your input method. If you select anything else the Keyboard won't work correctly.
Hi, im using MiniCM7pro, that rom is the best i think also T9 is the best way for messages, well can i add T9 in this rom or do anything? Thnx..
Hmm...T9 is predictive text (stands for 'Text On 9 Keys' which is a handy bit of trivia lol) and that's part of the standard SE soft keyboard that's inside the rom.
I can't remember the exact procedure but you need to go into the settings menu then into 'Language & Keyboard Settings'. In there will be an option to use the default input. That will give you the normal soft keyboard for the Mini instead of the one that gives you all the letters in one screen. The Mini's just too small for that..
Hello everyone.
I've recently bought my dad the prime with a keyboard dock and I can't find a quick and easy way to change the input language of the keyboard when it's docked.
There is an option to change the device's language to our local one (Hebrew if that matters), but then it changes everything to Hebrew.
I just want the device's language to be English and have something like alt+shift to switch between the languages when it's docked.
However, so far it's either stuck on English (if the device's language is set to English), or alternates randomly between Hebrew and English (probably depends on the context of the text) with no real way to change it.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to solve this?
Well, apparently ctrl+space does the trick when the keyboard is docked, at least for me.

if you go to ASUS keyboard setting, and only check Hebrew keyboard (without English Keyboard), you can simply switch back and forth between English and Hebrew by pressing alt key which is right next to space bar.
when alt key is pressed, it shows which keyboard has activated via little dialog box on the center of the screen.
This is the control + shift hassle free of doing it.
