Default [Bug] 3.1 cannot handle international bluetooth layout keybord

Hello,

I bought e very nice elive bluetooth keyboard in german qwertz design.
.
After pairing it, it works only in US qwerty layout. Found that to be a bug already in 3.0. Changing config does not make difference.

Huge setback for international customers.

Not really a "setback", it's just that your KB layout isn't recognized specifically and it's defaulting to a pre-determined layout.

Was your Xoom bought in Germany?

Yes it is a setback, all of German Xoom users buy the Original Moto Keyboard and all of them do not work and have the same issue.

My Wifi Xoom has been bought in US and then been localized to German language.

That's what I'm getting at- as there's no "official" Xoom release for .DE, it's very likely possible that the keylayouts just aren't in there (and w/o the source code, wouldn't be easily modded).

Not correct:
Xoom is available in Germany since 3 weeks officially including not working keyboard.

He is correct: there is NO OFFICIAL 3.1 release for german Xoom models, that means no official localized system version which could fix this bug yet.

It is something different if you use a US-device in Germany or having a real german device, even with any language packs.

So please stop scaring people with that unconfirmed statements in every forum belonging to the Xoom!

Thx

Confusing, the current German Xoom 3.01 does not support the German BT keyboard.

That is what I am hearing. The next Euro 3.1 update might fix this bug.

I am not scaring anybody.

similar/same issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1137780

motorola have a post on their support forum that the non-us keyboard layout for non-us keyboards fixed in intl. 3.1 update.

no idea about US 3.1 / 3.2 if it will have support... would be nice to be able to find a way to rip the non-us keyboard fix out and put it in to US3.1/3.2 though if/when the fix comes out
