Keyboard can't write Latin-1 diacritics on e63, e7...

All my previous Nokia phones with numeric keypad had a large set of diacritics avilable through multitap, but I am really dissapointed to discover that my e63 has a limited (to non-existant) set avialable when typing. I am reluctant to put my dissapointment down to naïveté, proper language support can be reasonably expected.
The odd thing is that it is impossible to write a number of English words correctly on this device, such as:
exposé   (not the same as expose)
naïve     (or indeed naïveté as in my 3rd sentance)
pâté
piqué
rosé        (As a wine, not the flower)
saké      (the drink)
résumé  (as opposed to the verb resume)
Also, names can be difficult to write:  Adélaïde, Jørn, Åge, El Niño, Jürgen, Väinö etc
Predictive text in combination with different input languages will with luck provide you with some of these diacretics, but it seems that Nokia took a shortcut, and rather than provide a generic input mechanism for latin characters, relies on the T9 predictive text input for a small subset.
Here is my top tip to the Nokia engineers: If you don't want to program a proper keyboard input mechanism, you could at least make an "International dictionary" avilable, one without any words, but just the diacritics found in Latin-1 (or Latin-2 / Latin-15)
Please provide a fix for this excellent device, and don't let it linger 20 years behind the competitors with regards to text input. The ironic thing is that the devices that sport a full keyboard have more limitations  on what can be typed, than older devices with a 1/3rd as many keys.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have an E71.  Should be similar in OS to your E63.
To access the accented characters hold down the bottom right key. Should be labeled chr/ctrl (at least on mine)
While that button is held down.  press on the letter you want to have the accent on.  It should now type with an accented character.. if it is not the right one then just tap the same letter again (again with the chr key held down).
Hope this makes sense and helps!

  • Sometimes I can't write diacritics like "é", "ã" in e-mails.

    Sometimes I can't write diacritics like "é", "ã" in my e-mails. I write in Portuguese and use diacritics too much. My OS is Linux Ubuntu 11.04. Sometimes the problem occur, and sometimes it doesn't. This problem doesn't exist when I use other web browsers.

    Are you using the compose key to construct those diacritics?

    Are you still with me?
    Go to your application where you want to use the new keyboard and select the keyboard "Español" by touching and holding the key with the globe on it.
    Now, touch and hold the comma.

  • I can't write to my Drobo

    I have a new iMac (like this):
    I am trying to connect the Drobo that I used to use with my Windows Computer.  It has 4 drives @ 3TB each, and the whole drive is over half full, so I am not terribly interested in the cost that it would take to "back up" that whole disk pack.  It took some shenanigans (reboots of both the drive and the computer; disconnections, and reconnections; fiddling around with MAC Disk Utility) to get it to show up in Finder at all.  I still have issues with it unmounting and needing to remount it, but that's not my main issue.
    THE REAL PROBLEM:
    Though I can get the Drobo to show up in finder, and I can read from it, I can't write to it.  Based on some earlier searching I tried this terminal command, which helped it to show up in finder, but didn't seem to affect it's being read-only:

    Can anyone help me with a next step to make this drive read/writeable?

    Turns out that the Drobo needs to be plugged straight into computer. I had it via hub. Though it has worked for the past couple weeks in this configuration, the new update pushed it over the edge, I guess. Plugged in directly and working fine.

    Hi iTunes-1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.  
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
    Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
    To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
    After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
    Here is an example of what section three might look like:
    In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
    If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
    If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
    Run CD Diagnostics again.
    Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

    Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS.  Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive.   Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
    I hope this information helps ...

  • Can you write an excel file on client machine instead of on the server

    I am trying to user cfSpreadSheet functon. The first question I have is, can you write the file on a client machine? I tried but they all end up on the server drive. Scecond question, is there a way to do row and column range formating in CF9.0? SpreadsheetFormatCellRange function is only available for ColdFusion server version 9.01.
    Thanks.

    To expand on Dan's answer: CF doesn't have any interaction with the client browser at all: client->server comms are handled by the client and the web server; the web server simply asks CF to provide the response data if the file requested is a CF file.  But even then all CF does is process the requested file and return data to the web server.
    Also, one of the restrictions of the HTTP protocol is that that there is *no* *way* that the server can write to the client machine.  All it can do is send data to the client agent (eg: a web browser) in response to the client agent requesting it.  Can you imagine the sort of security problems one would open one's self up to if a remote web server could write to your PC????

  • How can I write to 4 different tables in database at the same time

    I have .mdb file which has 4 tables for each hardware, I have a labview main program which calls 4 sub programs for each hardware, all these 4 subprograms run parallely.
    One might finish one test early or late by milli seconds or seconds, the data has to be written to database file which has 4 tables inside.
    I am planning to open reference in main program and use the reference in sub programs, I will write to Table 1 for first sub program , table 2 for second sub program and so on,
    My question is can we write into one database file having 4 tables parallely/simulataneously? If no why?

    Try it.  It should work.  As long as you are opening the database once, and passing the reference around, I don't see how it would not work. 
    You may run into troubles if two subvi's are trying to write simultaneously.  If so, use semiphores to lock out the action until done. 
    Or you could use a producer consumer architecture where the producer would queue up the table name and data, and the consumer would write to the database.  The producer can be replicated in each subvi.  In other words, each subvi will contain its own enqueue code.  All subvi's and the consumer loop would have to run in parallel.
