Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

I suppose you could try and contact Dirk at "info at funkyotherhalf.com" for support.

Change the "at" to an @.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

I bought and downloaded the article yesterday evening... Have to say my respect for Dirk, Andrew and Kimmo grew (again!) with each line I read. I wasn't aware of most of the challenges they faced. It makes the whole project even more awesome in the end.

Also, the article stresses how this crowdfunding campaign differs from other in that it had more realistic calculations and better planning. Nice reading. (Or, as other would say: funky!)

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

So I had another good rub of the pcb contacts that connect to the Jolla, and it's fixed. Thanks very much for the hint!

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Any way to get those little magnets/round metal pieces that sit on each corner of the OH?

Dropped my phone in supermarket yesterday and one of those round things had flown off. Didnt notice until I was home.

:(

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Am I the only one with this issue?

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

No, you are not the only one, I have the same issue.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

For me the qwertz layout doesn't work correctly. Z and y are on the right position. But I can't type Umlaute like ü,ö,ä...

And I have the same problem as seiichiro0185 and Kabouik.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

QWERTZ seems to work better with the (not officially released yet) SFOS 1.1.9.28 (aka SFOS 2.0). At least I can type Umlauts now when the Layout is set to german in the normal Jolla settings.

On the downside it seems that a lot of other keys change to the "standard" layout, as it would be on a normal PC keyboard. For example the "-"-Key right of the number keys now writes a "ß" (which would be at that position on a normal keyboard). Same goes for some other keys, and also the fn-symbols (blue) don't match the characters produced anymore in many cases...

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

hi.
can you upload the full article somewhere or send it to me?
explit at gmail.com

Thanks a lot!

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Err, what is stopping you from buying it yourself?

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

because i think c't has enough money, without my 3,50 EUR.

Better i would donate this 3,50 EUR to CodeRUS or Cepi for they work...

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

C'mon 3,5 isn't helping noone that much eather. And If you really want to support whoever, just go ahead.

Besides, I was just getting it yesterday to read for myself on paper, you might as well just go to the next späti and have a look, the articel isn't too long to read.

There's not much news in there anyhow, but what I didn't know is that Dirk was planning to on some sliding mechanism primarily, but couldn't find someone to produce hinges needed.

Altogether this articl will introduce jolla to a wider audience and that's a good thing for sure!

p.s. I think c't sells for 4,5 EUR.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

No, it's 3.50. Unless they charge different prices based on your IP:

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

well, I meant the whole print c't. That's what I got myself yesterday, here in germany, I don't know about availability abroad.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

for non germans speaking folks:

the first comment made was a guy stating how one could make such thing without chequing CE, Weee and other rules and regulations.

But there are some comments against that too, including mine:

He who makes no mistakes, doesn' make nothing! Just go ahead and make it - thanks DIRK.

http://www.heise.de/ct/ausgabe/2015-....html#comments

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

But you have to say, he's got some point too. I am not sure if Dirk has at least checked with regulations (including VAT regulations for selling within EU). If I take on such a project, I would. But as others it c't comments stated: this would make me a typical german.

Still I think this is a great project.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Dirk operates under a legitimate business licence (the licence is over five years old now) with a valid VAT number.

If you don't believe me, all of that information can be found and verified through tools available on the internet.

In any case, I wouldn't worry about the finer parts of following regulations, as I think that for an already 5 year-old business that is the easy part.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

I can confirm this.
The Article fails to mention that he is doing Prototyping since quite some time. This gives the impression that he just collected money for tohkbd and made it as a complete bedroom project.

And to the first comenter i can just say :"Wo kein Kläger, da kein Richter" engl. "You dont need a judge if there is no prosecutor".
We buyers would be the potential pepole to make claims aginst Dirk if TOHKBD starts to burn in our pockets... I can't see that happen ;)

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

you can revert to the previous behaviour with settings/system/text input/active layout (hwkbd) -> english

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

I have the tohkbd qwertz layout fully working now :)

to get this you need sfos 1.1.9.28 (you need to opt in early adopter updates atm)

next you need the latest tohkbd software testing build from kimmoli : http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:....1.armv7hl.rpm

you also need to modify two system files to get the full layout working in sfos and alien dalvik:

first replace /usr/share/qt5/keymaps/boston.qmap with http://kimmoli.com/tauhkaa/boston.qmap

for qwertz in alien-dalvik replace /opt/alien/system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm with this file: http://www.file-upload.net/download-...neric.kcm.html

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Will we still get automatic updates if we install the rpm from Kimmoli's testing builds?

I had the software installed automatically thanks to the NFC, but since 1.1.9.28 the version officially supported in the store seems really outdated. SF2.0 is an early update, so no rush intended. But I'm asking whether the official tohkbd update is expected soon or not, because otherwise I'll go for the manual install of testing builds.

With the last official version and non-qwerty layouts, even if most letters work, they don't all correspond to their physical keys, and the most problematic is special characters like punctuations, brackets, dashes, etc. While it was possible to type texts with no accents so far (not work emails though), it's not possible anymore if the punctuation can't be used easily, unless you learn by heart what characters the keys will actually correspond to.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Yes you will still get updates. If the version number in Jolla Store is higher then your manually installed testing build you'll get informed.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Good, thanks! Where can I find the qmap and kcm files for other layouts than qwertz? From the layouts shown in the new option of the tohkbd2 application, it seems azerty is not available yet.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

I found a french and a spanish .kcm file :

french azerty : http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...9&d=1335828598

spanish keyboard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...5&d=1337463718

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

but tohkbd are not produced anymore right ? there will be another stock ?

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Not likely. :p

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

As clumsy as I am, I trashed the casing of my beloved TOHKBD.

Tried to use shapeways to print a replacement, but they threw it back because "Thin Walls". Material was orange strong & flexible polished, the file I tried to print is this: https://github.com/dirkvl/TOHKBD/blo...els/casing.stl

Has anyone tried and succeeded in printing a TOHKBD casing?

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

the design is pushing their limits in my attempts trying to please you thickness-weenies ;)

try 'print it anyways'

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Thanks, much appreciated!

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Now running, errr... Eineheminlampi... is it time to us to begin working on custom layouts or must wait to a "proper" 2.0 upgrade?

Re: TOHKBD rev2

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Already installed. :)
And directly another request regarding backlight (screen active on tokbk connected). ;)
Very nice but would be even much better if only the lock of display would be prohibited. So display goes black but gets active on any (better: defined) keypress.
Would that (N900 feeling) be possible?

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

One of the pogo pins of the keyboard part is stuck in the bottom. Is it possible to change the pin without breaking the plastic casing?

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Which pin is it? There is one that is just for show and it's ok if it's stuck.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

First from left.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Uhm... I think it's bad: http://kimmoli.com/tauhkaa/TOHKBD-measurement.pdf

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

For me it's the right most pin that's stuck. I have not yet found a problem caused by that.
I assume my keyboard removed/connected messages and repeating key presses are caused by 2G radio interference.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Hello guys. I'm a happy TOHKBDv2 User. Mine is Cyrillic + QWERTY. Is it possible to change layout quickly with shortcut?
