Android External keyboard support

Neptun66 · 04-29-2010, 11:29 AM

Hi all,

when I plug in an external keyboard, there is a major problem with non-English keys. The eDGe apparently recognizes only English (US) keyboards - no way to get German Umlaute, French accents, the QWERTZ order of keys etc.

Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

Any help is appreciated,

Neptun.

Azerty key board seems to doesn't work. Perhaps an upgrade of the firmware to manage special letter and so european language will be necessary.
I am french but for the moment the edge is not at all planned to arrive in Europe so for the moment Entourage team doesn't need to develop the compatibility with azerty keyboad. I think so!!

It's unfortunate that the external keyboard appears limited to English (even though android virtual keyboards come in a variety of language options). I hope other languages become supported in the near future!
