use (add) US keyboard...

Any particular RATIONAL reason why on earth my keyboard has QWERTZ and it can't be changed?

because is QWERTZ is standard keyboard for Central European and letter "Z" is most used than letter "Y" in our languages and because that we have QWERTZ keyboards
look on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTZ

That still doesn't explain why we can't change it.

Download another keyboard? E.g., multi-language gingerbread (or something like that) which I have.

Most keyboards are going to be in Qwerty as it's more or less the standard. Best bet is to find a azerty with multiple languages. Good luck....you're gonna need it

Take "Clavier Gingerbread" on the market, it's an azerty keyboard.
don't find and i read this keyboard it's smallest on atrix

Yes. In webOS for the HP Touchpad, you can go to Settings --> Regional Settings --> Keyboard Type and change from an "English Qwerty" keyboard to a "French Azerty" keyboard. You can also change the Default Language of the Touchpad to German, English, Spanish, French, and Italian.
As for Android (if you plan on installing CM7), you will have the option of picking your own keyboard, language, etc.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
If I understand what you mean, you want QWERTY keyboard over Croatian dictionnary right ?
That way the answer is yes, in the settings you set language as Croatian and click on the small keyboard on the right, then you put on US QWERTY keyboard, that's it

Yep, that is right.
But when i select Croatian keyboard, and tap small keyboard icon to select layout, there is no US QWERTY... Only QWERTY and QWERTZ keyboards with čšćđž that i dont want..
OK I see, I thought you only wanted key-positions... So I don't think actually it can be done BUT you may ask the developpers as it may be pretty easy to add on next update
You need strip Unicode option that is included in some mms.apk

[Q] Change from QWERTZ to QWERTY

Hi everyone!
Is there any way to change my DX's keyboard from QWERTZ to QWERTY?
I bought this device a few weeks ago, but I wasn't told that it was coming with a QWERTZ keyboard. To be honest, it's not a real problem to me, as I've almost got used to it.
I just want to know if there is any way to change it...
If I go to "Keyboard types", the default choice is "Standard". Changing it to "Phone" or "Compact", will make the keyboard QWERTY, but it will also affect the keyboard layout, making it difficult (for me) to use.
Downloading (for example) a third-party keyboard from the market, will turn it into a QWERTY keyboard, or there will be no changes?
I'd also like to ask, if I'm going to face any king of problems when flashing unofficial ROM's.
Well, you can just choose another keyboard language, by single pressing the button with the country's letters, for example: if you live in France, it shows: FR, just press it till the qwertz changes to qwerty

Thanks for the answer! I just checked that!
It's true that by changing the keyboard to my country's one (GR), the keyboard turns to qwerty. But the the Greek letters are not are not the same as the Latin ones, so unfortunately it does not help.
I also changed the English language to French (cause they have the same characters), but the keyboard remained qwertz.
Go to settings>language & keyboard>HTC Sense input>keyboard selection, when you scroll completely down, it will show some other keyboards, I don't know the Greek keyboard, but I think it's somewhere there

At keyboard selection, all I can see (except for the toggle keyboard option) is about selecting different languages. No option for qwerty there.
I'm gonna send a mail at htc support, and if I'll find a solution about this, I'll immediately post it here.
In HTC Sense input, first the top button: keyboard selection, then scroll down as much as you can, there you'll see different types of keyboards
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda premium
Yeap, this is excactly where I went! The only thing I can do there is add/remove languages from my keyboard.
But...
At HTC Sense Input, there is an "Advanced Settings" option, where I change the keyboard type. The problem is that by changing the type to "Phone" or "Compact", it changes to qwerty (at Compact type), but the whole keyboard's layout is completely different.

But, when you choose France for example, it shows a azerty keyboard, when you choose German, a qwertz keyboard, choose Dutch, a QWERTY keyboard, just try them out.

If you want greek letters, you press microphone buttons till you get greek. If you want QWERTY press the mic till you get english or anu other qwerty language.

HTC replied to me a few hours ago, and they told me that the only way to change it to a qwerty keyboard, is by installing a third party keyboard from Play Store.
I was planning to buy SwiftKey 3 Keyboard the previous days (when it was on 50% sale), but I postponed it, cause I thought that it was going to be similar (qwertz) to the stock.

This doesn't happen in my case. Don't know why, but if I choose French (or German or Italian) I will still have a the exact same (qwertz) keyboard. No changes at all!

My problem is that I cannot get qwerty keyboard with English (or other similar Latin) language selected.
When I press the mic in order to choose Greek, the keyboard turns to "qwerty", but when I change back to English (or other identical Latin keyboards), the keyboard becomes qwertz again!
Weird... Well, use the SwiftKey keyboard if it fixes the problem...

If you change your firmware region, what happens to the keyboard region?

Hi all
Has anybody changed their tablet's firmware to that of a different region which has a different keyboard layout? If so, did the keyboard layout continue to match the markings on the keys?
Alternatively, can anybody confirm if all keyboard layouts are listed somewhere in the settings, and you can choose which keyboard layout you want to use regardless of what is printed on the keys?
Thanks!
Keyboard layouts should not have anything to do with your tablet region but with what language you've chosen as default language for that said keyboard. It's something you can change within the language and keyboard setting.

OK, great. Thanks so much for the confirmation! I've not used an Android tablet with a keyboard since Ice Cream Sandwich was the latest release, and that didn't include any keyboard language settings that I can remember. (Although saying that, I never looked for them as I had a US tablet and keyboard, so I didn't need them.) So I really wasn't sure how this would work.
Thanks so much for the info!
