Tegic eT9 US English Keyboard Fix for Windows Mobile 6.1

pudgedaddy · Jun 5, 2008

Thanks to HKBoySiR for this fix:

This .cab fixes the keyboard problems for the english language version of WM 6.1

I've just put together a cab file that replicates the original T-Mobile Dash's keyboard. No oddities so far. Hope this fixes some of the stranger keyboard issues.

Are you supposed to install it like a cab file because it's not working for me

Yes, you install it like a .cab, then you reboot.

Which S620 Version?

I'm not sure which S620 version I have -- it is European and has the QWERTY layout, with the symbols for the British Pound, US Dollar, and Euro on the J, K, and L keys respectively.

I have the latest KAVANA WM6.1 ROM installed (GREAT!). However, I believe I mistakenly installed the US English Dash key map, which works great for the letters a-z, but some of the symbols do not match the keys (FN-Q is % instead of !, FN-N is & instead of @, etc.). I'm guessing this is a UK English keyboard, since I bought this S620 from eBay and it has a 220V charger. Anyway, any ideas how I get the map to match all the symbols on my keyboard?

I've done quite a bit of searching different threads on this forum but have not so far been able to find the answer.

It looks to be a UK or British keyboard. The British pounds symbol is on one of the keys. That's a sure sign that it's not a US keyboard.

Any uk keyboard mapping support

hey all, is there a uk keyboard mapping cab file yet?

Mikey · Jun 15, 2008

Check in your \Start Menu\My Tools\Extras
do you have a file called "Excalibur eT9 Changer" if you do....click on it and choose the respective layout you need.

You can pick from:

UK Excalibur KeyMap
USA Excalibur KeyMap
Spanish Excalibur KeyMap
Portuguese Excalibur KeyMap
German Excalibur KeyMap
Italian Excalibur KeyMap

If not i can upload the the files needed.

Which Rom are you using??

spikeyfella · Jun 15, 2008

Key mapp works

i installed the full mapping cab and all is good now. Also, i have no 'my tools' in the start menu. i installed the kavana 6.1 rom.

steve_bev · Jun 16, 2008

When I do a long press-and-hold on the period and comma keys, I don't get a semi-colon or colon... just a period or comma. But when I do alt-period or alt-comma, then I do get the semi-colon and colon. I think these are the only keys this happens on, at least that I've seen so far. Anyone else?

beartard · Jun 16, 2008

Yes, it's a fairly common thing with the new ROMs. Neither of the t9 fixes will help you with it.
