Xperia Pro post ICS update keyboard issue

lazydawg55_gmai — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 07:18:43 GMT

OK, so my Pro has finally been up-dated to ICS, which is lovely and super and all that. However an odd (minor) issue has occured with the keyboard and it's not the QWERTY-AZERTY problem that seems so common.

The mode toggle characters have now been "mixed-up" for lack of a better phrase, so they do not all corespond with the symbols show on the keyboard. For example, the @ key does not produce anything at all when pressed and when the mode toggle is switch it shows a colon not an apersand as it should. A toggled Z should have no symbol but now produces an open bracket while the open bracket key (toggled K) shows a comma.

The number are fine, its just the bottom couple of rows that have an issue.

Any one else had this or have any solutions?

Thanks

(I'm in the UK and running a unlocked device on O2)

If you bring up the keyboard and then slide down the notification bar to change the input mode, have you go the Xperia keyboard selected?

Yes, "Xperia keyboard" is selected and English writing language is also selected.

In this case please run the update again and this time choose the "Repair" option when it is offered to reload the firmware.

I'm afraid that reset the device and overwrote all my settings and deleted all the apps, and did not solve the issue.

Thanks but how does one "Reboot into recovery"? Phone is not rooted.

Normally, to boot into recovery turn on your phone and in the Sony Ericsson splash screen (not the boot animation, the first screen) when the LED indicator turns blue, press volume down, then you'll be in recovery.

Thanks for that, but I am clearly missing some steps. Not a problem; I'll wait for Sony to fix. It is their responibility, after all.
