So these are currently on Ebay at the moment, really looking into getting one!!!
Note8 Keyboard Cover
- Thread starter radrcanada
- Start date
Does anyone know if there is an English QWERTY version of keyboard cover, not English QWERTZ nor English/Korean version.
Thanks.
Thanks.
hello there! already received my order of the samsung note 8 keyboard cover, i was very excited to try it on the phone, and TADA, the screen doesnt resize to fit the keyboard case, after trying it a couple of times and researching a bit further on the net, seems like this keyboard cover is incompatible with specific variants of note 8 like the SM-N9500 and SM-N9508(hongkong and china variants), which i currently have, total bummer!
can you guys clarify your specific variants of galaxy note 8 for research purposes?

I'll answer the question for him, since I spent about 5 minutes on the same thing. Love when people post to a forum and say "it's fixed" with no details...
Long press the "." key while in any text input field. An character menu will display at the bottom of the screen. Select the "." and it will be changed to that from then on.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!
Seriously?
I was thinking about getting this case for my 9500...
Why would it not work with it?
Just got this case. It is a nice case, the keyboard fits perfectly and it does not scratch the phone at all. When you put it on it instantly resizes the screen and the typing is effortless with it. One big plus is that the keys are clicking perfectly, reminding you of the good old days with phones that had premium quality physical keyboards.
BUT...
It is useless for some languages (like mine). Greek language is not supported, thus I'm stuck with a useless case :lol: Thankfully the back cover of the case is very nice and slim, but waaaay too expensive for having nothing more than that.
So if anyone from a non english country wants me to check if their language is supported, please let me know

I mean it is English only or Korean/English keyboard?
And is it QWERTY or QWERTZ layout?
Can you show a picture of it?
Thank you.

It is QWERTY, this is a photo of it.
The problem is not the layout, but the supported languages.
You can have English/Korean/French/etc but not Greek. It's probably because the Greek language has some special characters or something. So, when I have the Greek language as a first language in Samsung (software) Keyborad and then put the Keyboard Cover, I have a pop-up that says "Greek language is not supported".
ΕDIT: This is the ss of the pop-up menu and an ss of some of the supported languages. If I am not mistaken the Ukranian language is not supported either mate.

Thank you for the very detailed and informative answer.
Could you give me also the link (or the price) where you purchased it?
Thanks
No problem mate, if you have any more questions feel free
I bought it from the following seller and it was here faster than I expected.

I had exactly the same problem with a Hong Kong variant of the Galaxy S8+ -- see here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/keyboard-cover-damaged-rom-issue-t3604674 . I haven't seen anyone claim it's not working on any other version.
I just ordered an European Note 8 (Exynos, SM-N950FZKAPHE) and a Keyboard cover, I'll post the results when they arrive.
Update: It works! Have a Spanish Note 8 -- cheaper than I've found in the UK, did not find any difference aside from when you turn on, the default language is Spanish and not English.
Does anyone have any tips/tricks on using the keyboard? In particular the dictionary on the samsung keyboard quite crappy, I wish it had a bit more options and shortcuts.
Could you please see if Hebrew is supported?Just got this case. It is a nice case, the keyboard fits perfectly and it does not scratch the phone at all.

I wish I could mate, but I sold the phone and the case, got a Note 9 now, sorry.
Hi man,

Is that supported?

Hello everyone!
Yes, Italian should work fine. I write in Portuguese (and English) daily and it seems to work in a similar way.
As for hebrew, it seems to work, but since I don't really know the language it's harder for me to evaluate, but I can definitely write something with it. The one thing I noticed with Hebrew is that the usual shift + space shortcut that switches to another language (e.g. I had English, Portuguese, Italian and Hebrew) selected did not work, so it was a bit awkward to switch back quickly (but there's other ways to do it, the easiest one seems to be to remove the hardware keyboard and use the soft keyboard to switch the language back, and then replace the hardware keyboard).
I plan to rock the keyboard until Blackberry decides to do a successor to either the Priv or the Key2, so fire away with any more questions if I can help

If anyone in interested in how this actually works, I took one completely apart. Images can be found here https://eskerahn.dk/wordpress/?p=2284
Wow, this is super helpful. Thank you so much! I'm dying to find something faster than my good old Priv, that's not the awful key2.Hello everyone!

I understand the feeling. I was pretty disappointed with the Key2 when I played with it a bit at an event: it's an OK phone, but coming from the Priv with its gorgeous OLED screen, the Key2 is such a huge downgrade.
I had exactly the same problem as you did: my Priv was unbearably slow at common tasks, so as much as I've loved the phone, I got frustrated with it almost daily.
Nevertheless, I'll share that although I'm pretty happy with my Note 8, the keyboard is definitely a big step down from the Priv, so be ready/set your expectations for that. E.g. everything else will be better than the Priv, minus the keyboard, which will be measurably worse.
It's possible we'll have another landscape slider soon: https://www.readyfx.com/ so I'm also keeping an eye out for that.
