My XDA MiniS keyboard has all the symbols in the incorrect place (mostly on the button to the right of the button they should be on).

So my:

Key it's marked at | Symbol it actually inputs
@ = !
# = $
$ = %
% = &

and so on. :confused:

Any idea how to change this?

Yeah that was the first thing I checked, makes no diff.

Anyway Found a fix on another forum article - tried and works.

Edit the followingf reg keys
hkcu\controlpanel\keybd\locale\0409 (change to 0809 for uk)
hkcu\keyboard layout\preload\e0010409 (cahnge to e0010809 for uk)
hkcu\keyboard layout\preload\1\e0010409 (cahnge to e0010809 for uk)

Exit regedit and leave the phone for a few minutes, then do a soft reset.
Go back into regedit and check the above changes are still present after the reset.
That worked for me - all my symbols are in the correct place

! = ! etc

ps double check the reg shanges have saved as it took a few attemps to do so. Waiting for a few minutes before the soft reset seems to be the key!
