Defective Russian Phonetic keyboard in iOS

I've noticed that the Russian Phonetic keyboard is defective in iOS.
Both Russian and Bulgarian use the Cyrillic alphabet but each language has a completely different standard keyboard layout. For example, on the second row of a standard keyboard, the Russian one starts with ФЫВА and the Bulgarian one starts with ЬЯАО. To make typing easier in Cyrillic for users of QWERTY keyboards, both languages also have phonetic keyboards where the layout of the Cyrillic letters closely resembles the same phonetic sounds on a QWERTY keyboard. Therefore the second row of these phonetic keyboards starts with АСДФ, corresponding to ASDF on the second row of a QWERTY keyboard.
Here's the problem - if I add the Bulgarian Phonetic keyboard to my iPhone, I get a phonetic keyboard where the second row starts with АСДФ, but if I add the Russian Phonetic keyboard, I see the standard ФЫВА Russian layout and not a phonetic one starting АСДФ. Unfortunately I cannot use a Bulgarian phonetic keyboard for typing in Russian because it is missing letters that don't exist in Bulgarian, for example Ы.
What is causing this? Is it a bug in iOS?

In iOS, the default "Bulgarian" screen keyboard happens to be phonetic, while the Russian one is not. That is what you are seeing. If you tap on Bulgarian on the list and then choose Bulgarian Standard for the screen keyboard, that one will also be non-phonetic.
As Meg said, the keyboards which are labeled Phonetic are only for use with an external wifi hardware keyboard.
You can ask Apple to add a Russian phonetic screen keyboard via

Russian script keyboard

I have to use transparent stickers over the letters on my keyboard. Is there a dedicated Russian MAC keyboard on the market? I can change the language to Russian but MAC in Europe mainatain that there isn´t a keyboard to go with it.

*_Where to order Russian keyboards (dual Rus/Eng keys)_*
For those interested, yes the phonetic Russian setting is great for occaissional use, but if you really need to use Russian characters a lot then you need the dual English/Russian keyboard. Here is the best place I found on the web to order one - good price, fast service and delivery, safe ordering (I did a bank transfer from NL to Lithuania):
http://www.itbankeurope.com/
Wireless Russian/English MB167RS/A (€98):
http://www.itbankeurope.com/MB167RS%5B2F%5DA_/
USB Russian/English MB110RS/A (€61):
http://www.itbankeurope.com/MB110RS%5B2F%5DA_/
Delivery was a bit steep - €20, but this was par for the course with most places (cheapest I think was €13, but the item price was higher so it evened out). Makes the total cost for the USB item about €80.
I found most other web places in Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine had poor web sites, prices same or higher, and most importantly for me no English translation opn their pages. Strangely enough there were no suitable Russian online sites for these items.
Of course, it's been a few months and there may be other alternatives now. But if you need one of these keyboards give ITBankEurope a try - I was very happy with their sales, service and help.
Cheers!

Dear,
Rouetf.
You can not maintain accounts manually in OAMK. The accounts which we maintained at the time of assignment for selected account determination for classes in AO90 are only displayed in OAMK. Additionally here you can you change only their Reconciliation Type for direct postings. When you change the Reconciliation Type you are able to make direct postings to changed accounts. For direct postings make blank and SAVE.
But changing the Reconciliation type in live system is not recommended.
Hope this helps you to understand and clears your doubt.
Please revert for further clarification.
Regards,
Pankaj Bhalerao.

Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

Inaccurate keyboard in iOS 4.1

Hi all
Has anyone else noticed that the keyboard in iOS 4.1 is intermittently inaccurate? I updated my iPhone 4 and my girlfriends iPhone 3G and now we both have this issue where you type a letter and it ends up pressing one close by and predictably so: consecutively just above or to the side of where I actually pressed.
I haven't seen the behaviour in any other apps albeit when I am typing with the default keyboard.
If you want to test valid functionality of your screen then download a simple drawing app, as I have, and draw continuous lines across the screen. If there are any gaps then, sadly, in my experience it is 90% chance of being a hardware issue. Try to reinstall iOS 4.1 on your device by plugging into iTunes and selecting "Restore" from the summary page of your device settings. Do NOT restore from backup! This may contain any settings causing your issue. If that hasn't resolved the issue then try restoring on another machine or delete the .ipsw file on your computer (the download containing your new iOS, instructions for this can be found on the support page) and try again. Still no success then it is likely a hardware issue and you should contact Applecare support or Apple Retail Store for service.
Looking forward to seeing how many others are seeing this as purely a software issue ^_^
Thanks

I have the same problem on both my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 3GS, and my wife`s got the same problem on her 3GS. I have emoji installed on all 3 phones. But the problems goes further than just the keyboard. After updating to iOS 4.1 I also got problems with my "home button". When I double click it I don`t get the multitask bar up it takes me to spotlight search. Other times when I`m in a app and press home to quit it opens the multitask bar.
It`s the same problem on all 3 phones, and it all started after the latest iOS 4.1 update.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this, please?

Russian mnemonic keyboard three letters missing: щ ч э - in Office 2013 in Windows 8 Pro or Standard and Windows 7 Pro or Standard

The issue I believed is Windows specific. It only appears to work correctly on a Windows XP system. I can get the keys to work on Windows 7 or Windows 8 system.
Russian mnemonic keyboard three letters missing: щ ч э
I have a client that noticed this issue. He is a linguist and he uses the letters quite frequently. He further explained that...
Russian mnemonic keyboard three letters missing: щ ч э
On Windows 8 there is a mnemonic Russian keyboard.
Unfortunately there are three letters which I can not find: щ, ч and э.
These three letters exist in the standard Russian keyboard. They are at the following location (in the US keyboard): o,x and '.
I also did a test on a Windows 7 machine running office 2013 and still the letters are missing as described.
The client explained without these three letters the mnemonic keyboard is useless
Your help to address this issue is greatly appreciated.

I think it is by design. You can use Preview to show the keyboard layout.

Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout on iPad

Hello Apple guys.
The iPad is great. I love it - so do more are more people from Bulgaria.
I was very disappointed to see that it lacks Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout.
When can we expect to have Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout available for iPad?
A keyboard layout which is already available in iPod Touch 1g, 2g, 3g, iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3Gs and ( I hope) in iPhone 4 as well.
It doesn't seem like something very difficult to include Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout in iPad as well.
When can we expect to have Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout available for iPad?
Thank you.

Please can anyone who needs Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard to use the link bellow to provide feedback and request Bulgarian Keyboard with Phonetic Layout.
The lack of Bulgarian keyboard really limits the use of the iPad for me. I have to use my PC for anything that requires typing in Bulgarian...
So far I have not been able to find alternative solution or even an app to satisfy this lack of functionality...

Will Apple please reinstate the 'bold' keyboard in IOS 7?

Could Apple please reinstate the 'bold' keyboard in IOS 7? The new keyboard is too pale and difficult to use.

In General>Settings>Accessibility there is an option for Bold Text, but this doesn't really affect the keyboard. If you want to make your voice heard by Apple, provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Please add Armenian keyboard in iOS

Many Armenians are using Apple devices and in iOS many years don't become Armenian keyboard PLEASE ADD ARMENIAN KEYBOARD IN iOS.

Meanwhile you can use a cool html5 app, called Type Armenian (http://www.algrapps.com) to satisfy basic needs:). I have built it myself.
However, native Armenian keyboard support would be awesome!

Is there a way to get a soft keyboard on iOS to show ´join´ or ´send´ in the return key of a keyboard?

I saw that the ReturnKeyType [1] only supports a subset of value possible on iOS [2].
Basically the supported return key types are "done", "go", "next", "search" and "default" which corresponds to "enter" on iOS
while iOS also supports "Google", "Join", "Route", "Send", "Yahoo" and "Emergency Call".
Two of the iOS types "Join" and "Send" I would find quite useful in places I'm currenlty using the "go" return key type
Is there anyway to get the soft keyboard to show this labels on iOS?
Alternatively it would be great if "join" and "send" are added as Air ReturnKeyType's (e.g. they could default to "go" on other devices)
Thanks

'time keyboard' in iOS when filling in a time in a PDF form

Hello,
Adobe reader for iOS is a great and powerful tool to fill in PDF forms.
When there is a fillable text field with properties of a date (on iOS), you'll see the keyboard changes in a layout divided in 3 parts, one with numbers till 31, one for the month, and the year as last.
I was wondering if this was also possible for fields that has the property of a time. just like the agenda of iOS.
Regards,
Hamza Ghzili
(Feel free to question me, maybe you're confused by my english ;-)

The current version of Reader for iOS does not support text fields with the time property yet. But it is on our feature ToDo list. We hope to provide the support in a future release of Reader for iOS/Android.
Thank you for the feedback!

How to actually switch to showing lowercase letters on keyboard in iOS 7?

Is this possible or what? I have not yet found a soultion to this.

Hi,
Colour is a big part of Ease of Use on the iPhone.
Wondering why the blue colour shift lock key on the pop up keyboard has been replaced with grey colour changes when in other apps like, Maps, Mail, Phone, Calculator, Clock, Photos, Camera, ....(almost all native apps) use colour to highlight certain functions?
The removal of the blue colour when activating upper case typing has now slowed my overall typing down, both in landscape & portrait modes, making me less efficient at work & at home.
The reason for this is that I use both thumbs for typing in landscape & I use both right & left thumbs for typing in portrait. While typing, my left hand is usually hovering over that area of the keyboard in both modes where the shift key is located.
In previous iOS I could easily & quickly identify with my peripheral vision if the shift button was on, (be it locked or not) without consciously looking at it because my brain made a subconcious note of the colour blue in the bottom left hand corner.
Now I have to pause, move my hand/thumb aside and concentrate (albeit for a split second) to check that the shift button is on. This is happening almost every Parragraph & most sentences that I type.
I also type an upper case letter or two and have to continuously backtrack to correct it on most occasions. This simple omission/change has slowed me right down, waisting my precious time & to a lesser extent, energy.
Like all upgrades I give myself several weeks to see if I'll acclimatise to the new changes, and 99% of the time I do. This time however my brain can not adjust.
If Johnny Ives & the Apple Engineers could bring themselves to surreptitiously put back the colour into the shift key function, I would have no thoughts about considering Samsung & would be a satisfied Apple Fan again.
I would be very surprised if I'm the only customer who has noticed this change.
A suggestion for consideration for the Apple Design Engineers, if not change the keyboard to upper case as suggested by others in this thread, then at the very least put the colour back into the shift key and maybe a small shift key (color) icon on the high side of the iPhone & iPad screen so we don't have to make a concious note when we're typing. Our eyes would be able to clearly see that the shift key is on & adjust subconcously with out slowing us down.
Yours sincerely,
Apple Customer.
