Qwertz vs Qwerty keyboard

i purchased a new 8900 Curve today and when i got home, discovered that the keyboard is set up as a Qwertz (never seen one before) vs Qwerty keyboard. The blackberry website (UK) shows each keyboard setup in different photos. Is there an easy way to fix this problem?

You can't. The keyboard is what it is. You bought the German version.

No QWERTY keyboard, I have a QWERTZ keyboard. Z and Y switched

I bought a Curve 8520 last week for my son. He just noticed today that the z and y are switched on the keyboard. I called the place where we bought it and they said oh yeah some are like that. I said it is a defect. I have not actually gone there to the store yet but am going tonight when my husband can go with me. Well I am in Panama and the phone says made in Hungary. They advertise a QWERTY keyboard not a QWERTZ keyboard. Anyone else have this?

It is not a defect, it is designed that way for German and Dutch language users.
Yes, many German users have that keyboard.
You cannot change it that keyboard (well you can, but the firmware within is still going to make the Z and Y keys operate as indicated on the keyboard you have not.
Return the device to where you purchased for a QWERTY keyboard device, or get your money back.

How to enable an apple french (azerty) wireless keyboard to type in french whilst retaining the normal inbuilt qwerty keyboard typing in english?

Hi there, I recently bought an apple wireless azerty French keyboard to go with my English macbook air, as for my degree I often have to type in French. However, upon connecting it to the macbook air it instantly started typing as though it had the qwerty layout and only by going on system preferences and changing the language & text imput sources to French was I able to get it to type in the correct azerty manner.
The problem I have is that this also changed my macbook's inbuilt qwerty keyboard to the azerty format, and so I wondered if anyone could tell me how I can make the wireless azerty keyboard instantly be recognised as typing in the french format when I turn it on, whilst retaining my inbuilt keyboard's qwerty layout, rather than constantly having to change them both in system preferences?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's not possible.
But switching keyboard layouts is very simple. Either use the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen or the keyboard shortcut apple/command plus space.
If you don't see the ¨flag¨, check the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar in the Input Sources pane.
If the keyboard shortcut doesn´t work, you may have to change the shortcut for Spotlight, which is often the same.

I cannot change language with my qwerty keyboard

I'm using firefox for mobile 5 on LG LU2300(optimus Q) which has physical qwerty keyboard.
When I try to change language to Korean with the qwerty keyboard, I failed. The language is stick to ENGLISH.
When I use on screen touch keyboard, it's O.K.
please help me to use firefox.

Hi freetbet,
This is currently a known problem and we have an open bug report tracking this issue, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669361 bug 669361]. At this time I am not aware of any workaround besides continuing to use the virtual keyboard as you mentioned.

[SOLVED] Zynaddsubfx and qwerty keyboard

Hello guys and girls!
I have a little trouble with zynaddsubfx For a long time I was having fun with Zynaddsubfx and his awesome synths. I don't have any real musical (midi or usb, no matter) keyboard and i played sounds with general qwerty keyboard. Zynaddsubfx previously worked on windows port and some other linux-based distros on my computer (for years never modified). But now here on Arch I can't play sounds with pc keyboard . Zynaddsubfx doesn't respond on almost all keys, except "6" and "7". But it is catastrophically small amount of keys to play with
I have installed Archlinux x64 and here the list of installed packages:
zynaddsubfx 2.4.1-1
alsa-firmware 1.0.23-1
alsa-lib 1.0.23-1
alsa-oss 1.0.17-1
alsa-utils 1.0.23-2
gnome-alsamixer 0.9.6-3
alsa-plugins 1.0.23-1
lib32-alsa-lib 1.0.23-2 (lib32)
lib32-alsa-plugins 1.0.23-2 (lib32)
jack 0.118.0-3
timidity++ 2.13.2-9
fluidsynth 1.1.1-2
I think the problem is wrong keymap(?) But i don't know where to fix it
And, please, don't tell me things like "go and buy some serious stuff (midi keyboard, real synthesizer etc etc)" bcause I am not a musician and I am just having fun with Zynaddsubfx.
Thanks in advance

Haha, I found a solution
It is simple as Arch must to be
Launch [System -> Settings -> Keyboard], then move english keymap to up until english keymap will be first in the keymap's list. And wow, now zynaddsubfx works like in good old days
Thanks to all, problem officially solved
P.S yes, of course when i click piano keys with mouse sound appears

Why can't I use special characters in my password? This isn't 1995 anymore where a lot of people don't have QWERTY keyboards.

Why does your site not allow the use of special characters in passwords? Do you not want your customers to be as secure as possible?
As a network security admin, limiting passwords to prohibit special characters is an extremely poor security practice.
Telling me that my security as a customer is important, then tell me that your own system limits my ability to keep my account as secure as I would like seems quite backwards. I understand the archaic reasoning was that not all devices have a QWERTY keyboard, this logic is flawed and is no longer necessary.

Hi, sorry to hear that you are experiencing these problems, but sometimes a new machine (be it Apple, Dell, whatever) can be defective right out the box - its not unheard of.
If your machine came with defective hardware and is still under warranty (seems to be the case here) then you have nothing to lose taking it back to where you bought it and, if there really is defective hardware present I am sure they'll rectify the problem.
A small note: these problems are not manufacturer-specific - its pointless blaming the manufacturer as I can assure you this happens with ALL brands. Apple supplies quality hardware and software - I know of a user who has had a machine switched on since 1987 without problems

Curve 9380: Return from character input to QWERTY keyboard

Hello,
I own BlackBerry Curve 9380 smartphone (all touch, without physical keyboard).
I have the following issue:
Consider you're writing a text message, when you need a question mark you're tapping on the "&% 123" button in the left-down corner and selecting the question mark. In order to return back to the original QWERTY keyboard you need to tap on the button again, now "ABC".
Is that possible to automate the return to the QWERTY keyboard from character input keyboard after tapping the "space" button?
Keyboard is returning automatically back only if you will tap on the "Enter" button.
Adding the "space" button would be a great enhancement for touch-based devices featuring BlackBerry 7 OS.
Thank you.
P.S. I didn't find any better medium for my concern than this forum, if somebody knows how to reach directly to software engineering group, please let me know.

You still have the constructor declared inside the main method! :-)
public class TrySimpleVectorWithKeyboardInput
public static void main(String[] args)
public TrySimpleVectorWithKeyboardInput()
{}Move the two lines to outside the main. It should look something like this..
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class TrySimpleVectorWithKeyboardInput {
    public TrySimpleVectorWithKeyboardInput() {
      // constructor code goes here
    public static void main(String[] args)    {
        Vector names = new Vector();
        FormattedInput kb = new FormattedInput();
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            try {
                System.out.print("Enter a name ");
                names.add( kb.readString());
            } catch (InvalidUserInputException e) {
                System.out.println("InvalidUserInputException thrown. \n" + e.getMessage());
        System.out.println("\nThe names in the vector are:\n ");
        Iterator j = names.iterator();
        while (j.hasNext()) {
            System.out.println(j.next());
}

Can't do update and no qwerty keyboard - 5530

Tried to update my phone to the latest update (20.0.080) but it doesn't do anything when I select update. Also I can't get a qwerty keyboard when I turn my phone round to landscape.

I also lost my qwerty keyboard.I found out that if I rotated my phone to landscape before I hit menu and then hit messaging my keyboard was back.
Prior to that I emailed nokia asking assistance, Got this reply back yesterday.

French accents on QWERTY keyboards

Short of changing my keyboard or adopting the time-consuming methods for inserting French accents when using a QWERTY keyboard (I use them now and they slow me down enormously), is there a way to reprogram[?] some keys on my MacBook Pro so they input the more common accents - à, è, é at a single keystroke?

Missing US english Qwerty Keyboard Layout?

Hello,
in the Systeme Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources, I have a lot of exotic, and definitly nice, keyboard layout, but there is no basic US english QWERTY keyboard layout.
The closest would be "british" or "canadian english" but I want us qwerty for programming so I am not sure they are convenient...
So here's my question: where can I download "ready-made" keyboard layout for OSX and where to install them afterwards?
Thanks a lot for your replies!

I have never heard of an OS X install that did not include "US" in that list. Are you sure it is missing, have you scrolled all the way down?
So do I! It why I am really surprised...
Actually the mac is a refurbished one coming from Nederland (and with a french keyboard...)
Here's some screenshots:
beginning of the list :

Searching for us is empty!
I will search on the install key and with your softwares.

Problems using Devanagari-Qwerty keyboard in Mountain Lion

I have all the discussions about Devanagari-Qwerty and have looked at and used all the websites that give instructions. But most do not apply to a Mac using 10.8.3. Nor do I get any answers from the people at Apple-Care when I phone them. My current questions are the following:
1. What is the exact default font that is attached to the Devanagari-Qwerty keyboard in Mountain Lion? It is definitely NOT Devanagari Sangam MN, and it is NOT Devanagari MT. I cannot even use Devanagari MT in Mountain Lion on any of my programs, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign.
2. I have spent the last few hours trying to figure out how to type one of the Sanskrit vowels that transliterates as "kree" or "kreem: ऋ़ं According to all the instructions I have read, theoretically this should work by typing option+r, shift+f, shift+m. But this does not work In Microsoft Word or InDesign, it just types a halant after the "kr"
3. I cannot figure out how to turn on or use any advanced typography characters in any Sanskrit font with Mountain Lion. The instructions I have read do not apply to Mountain Lion.
I have been wasting many hours! Please help me!

Dear Tom,
Thank you so much for responding to my questions. I have more questions:
1. InDesign says it does support Indic scripts:
http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2012/05/indesign-cs6-indic-support-and-preference s/
I have followed their instructions and have turned on that script in their program. Yet I still have problems.
2. What is the default font that is connected to the Devanagari Qwerty and Devanagari language keyboards on Mountain Lion? Or is it different for each program? MSW appears to default to "Sanskrit 2003." Text Edit appears to default to "Devanagari Sangam MN." InDesign appears to default to "Adobe Devanagari." Yet I cannot actually choose any of these fonts and use them in MSW or InDesign. In other words, on the font list, they do not display any Sanskrit characters. Instead, they become English letters when I select them from the list to type with. But if I use Devanagari Qwerty or Devanagari language preferences to type with, then they do show up as Sanskrit characters. I do have other Sanskirt fonts that do appear on the font list and that display properly. But none of these other fonts default when I use Devanagari Qwerty or Devanagari. This is very confusing.
3. I have never seen the gear wheel on any program except Text Edit. I wish I could find it, because I would like to turn on "additional conjuncts." I can go to Format > Fonts > Show Fonts with Microsoft Word, but I see no gear wheel. With InDesign, which supposedly does support Indic fonts, I don't know where to go in order to find the gear wheel. And I don't see any gear wheel on the Font Book program.
4. My publisher requires that I use Microsoft Word to deliver my manuscripts. They do not accept any other programs. I am trying to type Sanskrit letters easier by using Devanagari Qwerty and/or Devanagari keyboard on my Mac. Any solution for Microsoft Word? Whatever solution I use has to also be compatible with InDesign, because my publisher copies and pastes everything into InDesign to design the final pages.
Thank you!

N8 and PR 1.2 Vertical qwerty Keyboard

Hi
If I am not mistaken ı read some discussion about on of the pr 1.2 feature is vertical qwerty keyboard for n8. Yesterday there was a small upgrade and now my n8 firmware version is pr 1.2 but no vertical keyboard.
What is final state about this subject. This feature should have been in Pr 1.2 or will be big upgrade pr 2.0
Note: any one knows what will be on April 12 10:00. At least is it related to Nokia n8
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you guys noticed the search window in the latest ovi maps. It has the tearaway keyboard but no qwerty in portrait yet.

anyways, there have been so many delays on the much promised overhaul. any official word from the symbian team?

Basic phone with sliding QWERTY keyboard

I am looking for Basic phone with sliding QWERTY keyboard, that will text and send pictures without a data plan.
I am now on disability and can't continue with the high cost of data plans.
I was using my Droid 4 but without Data turned on it will text but will not send pictures.
My daughter is sending me an LG-505c so I am hoping that will work but I would still like to get my calender on the phone also.
anyway I need ideas on what phones will work.

The LG ENV3 will work without a data plan, as will several of the older "multimedia" phones and basic phones. My husband is still using an LG VX 5400; my mom uses an LG VX 5200 and both send and receive picture messages (though they are small). Samsung Sway, Alias, LG Voyager, EnvTouch - all of these work without a data plan, and will send and receive texts.
