Hi,

I flashed WM6 - crossbow 1.5 - on a french qtek so I have a french keyboard. I tried to change the registry with the registry editor Total commander; I opened the program on the device and went to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]. I created a New String Value name: Locale; I typed in the Value Data: 040c (for french keyboard) and I held the powerbutton for a few seconds until asked if I really wanted to switch your device off, and clicked on YES then restarted it...

and I am still in QWERTY mode when I type on my AZERTY keyboard :-(

Any ideas?

Cheers,
GG

Did you wait 30 seconds to 1 minute before turning off the phone? In WM6 registry entries can be lost if you change them then immediately soft reset the device. Is your registry change still there? If not try again. If it is, I'll have to defer to someone that knows more about switching the keyboard type.

thanks for your answer.

I indeed for sure did not wait any time before soft reseting the phone :rolleyes:

Althoug now I waited one minute... it still not working :(

I am locked into an english keyboard. I can see the registry entry being there and being the one I made and .. not working...

Should I change anything else to make it work?

Thanks for helping me in advance

Cheers,
