Keyboard layout differences - XPERIA X1 General

Does anybody know what the German qwertz-layout looks like? I'm interested in knowing how it compares to the Swedish layout, but couldn't find any pictures of it. I'm hoping the symbol keys would be identical to the Swedish layout, even though z and y have switched places.
Here's a picture of how English qwerty compares to the Swedish keyboard.

I think your English qwerty is an old one and has been changed. The left side should be simmilar to the Swedish qwerty. They only differ on the right side of the space-button where the Swedish letters are placed.

If you're talking about the 'Sym' key being a smiley, you're most likely right. But the English and Swedish keyboards do differ a bit more than just on the right side of the space-button, as the keys replaced there have to be available somewhere else. This shifts around the symbols (painted in blue) somewhat.
And the symbol places are what I have difficulties remembering, if I soft-mod the keyboard layout to something else
But thanks for the observation. I think you are right.

The German keyboard
I found a pic of the German keyboard. Here it is, just in case someone else needs it.

Simple question about wizard keyboard

does an english wizard have the same physical keyboard (letters in the same positions) than an italian or french or german wizard?
Are the keyboards all the same?
thanx
nope.. T-Mobile germany's keyboards are QWERTZ:

While here's a French AZERTY:

well...i need to know the italian and the english...do they match?
as far as letter and number keys go, yes - IT and EN are both:
QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL
ZXCVBNM
There may be some difference in the other keys, due to the italian language making use of extended letters a lot (thus putting them on the keyboard would be useful for users of it).
Haven't spotted a picture of an IT one yet
if the underlying question is: Can I use an english ROM with an italian device? The answer is : yes. You will find other posts that explain what registry changes will let you map correctly the keyboard. Like in France we use AZERTY keyboards, so making the correct registry changes, we can use our french keyboard and use the A key and get an A instead of a Q
yes but the problem is that in italian qwerty there are buttons for à,è,é,ò,ì,ù ...very used letter in my language...i just wonder if on english qwerty these letters/button ar present and primary.
Its' the same in French! If you have an italian device and if you update correctly the registry you should have all keys functionning as before. I've not tested it yet on my phone (still a french ROM) but I do it on my PC: french keyboard and english OS. I can use all the accented letters like if I were using a French keyboard with a French OS. I don't see why it should be otherwise on the PPC.
i can't explain...sorry!
what I mean is if the letter/button "è" (for instance) is NOT PHISICALLY present/written on the phisycal qwerty english tkeyboard BUT it is present ( and IT IS PRESENT because I use it everyday) on the italian qwerty...this answers to my question
Not quite sure what you are looking for exactly. Anyway, maybe this will help:
go to \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
There should be a "Locale" string value. If it's not there create it! and give it the value "0410"
To get the accented letters like e
press e
then the blue dot (left bottom corner)
then the space bar
I hope I'm making sense.Good luck!

He's asking whether the keys are physically there on the slide-out keyboard. I.e. is there a little label / sticker with "è" on it?
There isn't one the English version (you can still get that character by means of the Sym key in combination with the 'e' key).
just to add confusion to this problem.
i have a t mobile MDA and a frien has a O2 mini and the keyboard layout is different on both. the Mini gets the benefit of a '£' sign whilst i have to get the electronic keyboard out for this. i suppose i could do a reg edit, anyone know how???

Could someone post pics of the swedish keyboard?

As the subject says. I would love to see some pics of the swedish-layout
keyboard. Where are the ÄÖÅ letters placed?
Norwegian Layout
I believe the swedish layout to be the same as the norwegian. Attached is an image of the norwegian one. As you see both Ä and Ö are present.
Thanks for the picture.
That's correct, it is the same in Sweden as in Norway
Same keyboard is in Finland too.
If any having problems setting the correct layout after rom update, i suggest using norwegian layout (finnish layout didn't work, or it wasn't recognized by the system)

Tytn with swedish

Hi!
I am thinking about buying the M3100 from the UK and bring it with me to sweden. Mainly because the much cooler design and also buttonlayout.
I have two questions:
1. Can i change the rom on the device easily to the original HTC rom or does it require alot of fiddling?
2. How do i write swedish letters like Å Ä Ö on the keyboard, from what i can see the M3100 and HTC Tytn have the exact same keyboard layout, so whats the deal? where are the å ä ö letters and how do you swedish users get these?
Thank you!
I'm thinking of doing the exact same thing.
The problem is, the layout on the Swedish versions is not at alal the same when it comes to symbols, so flashing it with a Swedish ROM won't do it.
The best way would be to somehow map å, ä and ö to some buttons.
Check the attached photos for a comparison.
Nice to be back here, btw. It's been a while

Finnish/swedish software keyboard?

How can I get the ä and ö letters to the software keyboard? Also I wouldn't mind if the keyboard layout was a little bigger but for now I would be satisfied just to get the scandinavian letters on the screen. Hardware keyboard works fine.

on what software keyboard?
The one you get when you start typing on the screen... the standard software keyboard on the bottom of the screen.

I don't know what you mean by Blackstone? This is the keyboard I am using, see this picture I found on the internet. It's shaded and doesn't look exactly like the one in my previous HTC TytnII (the one in the TytnII was just plain black and white, square buttons and no shading)

Where to purchase Scandinavian QWERTY keypad/keyboard?

The QWERTY keyboard of my Kaiser broke down so I replaced it with the keyboard which has English keypad.
However, I'd like to know where to purchase a replacement Scandinavian keypad/keyboard for my Kaiser.
I've searched E-Bay & Amazon but haven't found a Scandinavian keyboard/keypad, only English ones.
I'd really appreciate if someone could give me a hint or help me. Thanks in advance!
Hmm, it seems that nobody knows the answer for this one???

There are Å, Ä and Ö letters when you push FN button + A or O etc.
I don't have any problems with the software but I'd like to find a Scandinavian keyboard pad to replace the English one. It's quite hard to memorize where to find those aforementioned letters...
