HTC_IME virtual keyboard does not work properly on HTC Magic #152

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

Just connect and try to send a pipe on the virtual keyboard.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Im expecting to see a pipe in the terminal but nothing happens.

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?

ConnectBot 1.5.2(r316 2009.06.17)

What type of system are you trying to connect to?
FreeBSD atom0.xserv.dk 7.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Fri May  1
07:18:07 UTC 2009    
root@driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

OpenSSH_5.1p1 FreeBSD-20080901, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?

$TERM = screen

Hm, I'm not sure what's going on there. It works for me and there haven't been 
any
relevant changes since that release. Do you still have this problem? Are you 
using
UTF-8, ASCII, or something else?

Not to mention the type of the host.  You can't even type a pipe in local on a 
HTC
Magic.  BTW my SSH host:
$ uname -a
Linux xxxx 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:57:31 UTC 2009 i686 
GNU/Linux

OpenSSH 1:5.1p1Ubuntu1

Just to make sure, you're pressing the button that the mouse cursor is on in 
this
screenshot, right?

I'm wondering if you guys have special virtual keyboard layouts. If you do, 
please
let me know which ones you have. If this isn't an issue, I'd also like to know.

I'm going to close this since there's been no updates. If you're still 
experiencing
this issue, feel free to respond to the questions above.

I can confirm that the phone used in the video above is the stock HTC Magic 
sold in
denmark.

So there is no special keyboard layout on it.

Okay, that looks like a different keyboard than what is on the VK stuff that 
comes
with Google Ion phones themselves and what's on the emulator.

Could you guys check to see what the name is of this keyboard? The package names
themselves, a system.img from an nandroid backup, or a pointer to an update.zip
equivalent for the Denmark phones would be great.

I just found the HTC_IME.apk looks like the keyboard shipped with your phone, 
but I
don't have any problems pressing | on that keyboard... hummm...

You could also send a request to tre.se if they have made any modifications or 
ask on
the http://swedroid.se website whether someone has some stock firmware from 3 
Sweden.

I was searching around for some clue of why it's different for you guys and the
closest I got was daldroid's dump of the system.

Perhaps you could even just do an "adb pull /system/app/HTC_IME.apk" from the 
phone...

Here is the file from the HTC Magic phone bought in Denmark.

That's the exact same file from daldroid's image. There must be something else. 
How
about the files in /system/usr/keychars and /system/usr/keylayout? Here are the 
MD5

Also the output of "adb shell getprop | grep key"

The emulator right now is using qwerty; maybe you guys are using 
sapphire-keypad...

You are properly right about the sapphire-keypad. You need more information?

I'm seeing this same issue. Pressing the pipe-like key on my HTC Desire bought 
in Denmark produces a ¦ rather than | (whoever thought that was a good idea 
needs to be shot). This is apparently also the case for a HTC Legend bought in 
Germany.

Also the HTC Hero has wrong pipe character.

HTC Legend - Confirmed

Same issue on HTC Legend. They keyboard has the ¦ character but not the |. 
This causes issues in the terminal. I was able to copy a | character from the 
web for a quick fix but it would be nice not to have to do this. I also tried 
entering the ascii code for pipe (|), by pressing the track ball twice and 
entering 124, but no character was returned.

Best of luck,

I too can confirm this bug on the Legend, it gives the ¦ -character and not 
the | -charachter... Is there workaround to get the desired | character on 
screen???

I'm seeing the same issue on a Droid Incredible. The ¦ character rather then 
the pipe character. Keyboard screenshot looks the same as already posted so 
It's probably the exact same issue.
