SK17i POBox Touch and qwerty keyboard problem

[#1]

Hi,

I'm using Xperia mini pro SK17i and POBox touch for my input. When I use the hardware keyboard, sometimes it would work (I can switch between hiragana / alphabetical input), sometimes it would act just like a normal keyboard (can't switch mode, word suggestion does not appear).

Anyone else have the same problem, and came up with a solution?

Hi, are you using a downloaded input keyboard?

No, I'm using default Japanese keyboard.

Sorry, my explanation might not be clear enough.

I'm using the default Japanese input that comes in with Xperia Mini Pro SK17i (which I believe is called POBox touch). The software keyboard works fine. When I slide out the hardware keyboard, sometimes I can switch back and forth between Japanese characters mode and normal alphabetical - which means the POBox touch worked fine with the hardware keys, sometimes I can't. I'm trying to figure out how to consistently be able to input Japanse characters with my hardware keys.

Thanks.

Edit : Solved it. Just tap once on the input field you wish to type into. When the caret appears, POBox gets activated.

Glad that you have sorted it out.
