A: There is no clear answer to this. There is a list of shipped orders according to Kickstarter backer number. If your number is not on the list, it is not shipped. Come to IRC to find out more. See here how to find backer number: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Also, be aware that there seems to be some issues with emailing notifications of shipments, and you might not get such email.

Dirk did assembly most of the Scandic layout keyboards first, as the parts for them arrived first. Some of other layouts have also been arrived (at time of writing this). There is no specific order in which the manufacturing happens, it is basically controlled by the availability of material.

Q9: Cool, this is so cool. How do i get one?

A: Sorry, You are late, about 7 months. There are nothing left. All stocks are empty. Finito. Loppu. Slut. But keep your eyes open for if someone wants to sell his/hers ?

Q(last): I have other question, where i can ask it?

A: You have issue with NFC, proceed with following:

Check with original Jolla TOH that you hear sound when you attach
Check from Jolla Settings -> System -> About product that you see The OtherHalf ID there
Check that your tohd.service is not masked/disabled. First devel-su then systemctl status tohdshould return green active (running)

If problem persists, and even original Jolla TOH's doesn't work, please contact care via this link: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Q3: How can i install manually if my NFC does not work?

Q4: I want the bleeding edge stuff, how do i get it?

A: Manual install instructions here: https://github.com/kimmoli/tohkbd2#installing-through-mer-obs-repo

Note that when you install from mer-obs, you dont see it in Store -> My apps. The software for tohkbd is not available as a regular app in the store, it is ambience package which installs when you attach TOH to the phone.

Q5: Why my ÅÄÖ does not work?

Q6: I have AZERTY/QWERTZ layout, but i get qwerty characters when i type with it?

Q10: The layout settings -option is grayed out in settings, why?

Q13: Why the Symbols €, £ and µ doesn't work?

A: Jolla Sailfish 1.1.6.27 version (and older) does not support changing keyboard layout. We need to wait for sailfish update. Current layout does not support compose or special chars outside of pc-105 US layout. The settings are grayed out becaused they do not work yet.

Q7: Why it does not work in Android apps?

A: This does not work on Jolla Sailfish 1.1.6.27 version (and older), it is expected to start working on next Sailfish update.

See here how to find backer number: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Also, be aware that there seems to be some issues with emailing notifications of shipments, and you might not get such email.

Dirk did assembly most of the Scandic layout keyboards first, as the parts for them arrived first. Some of other layouts have also been arrived (at time of writing this). There is no specific order in which the manufacturing happens, it is basically controlled by the availability of material.

Also the shipment may take anything between 2 days to 2 weeks to arrive. Please be patient.

Update at 2015-06-25 from Dirk via TMO:

now working on qwertz

then all that ended up in 'something wrong with this pile'
hope to send all kickstarter orders within two weeks
going to the postoffice saturday to send all to funky countries

Q1: Why nothing happens when i attach TOH to the phone?

A: You have issue with NFC, proceed with following:

Check with original Jolla TOH that you hear sound when you attach
Check from Jolla Settings -> System -> About product that you see The OtherHalf ID there
Check that your tohd.service is not masked/disabled. First devel-su then systemctl status tohdshould return green active (running)
If not, try systemctl unmask tohd then systemctl enable tohd then systemctl start tohd and re-attach TOH
If problem persists, and even original Jolla TOH's doesn't work, please contact care via this link: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Q2: Why the virtual keyboard does not disappear when i attach keyboard part?

A: Maliit server is not restarted. Reboot your phone, or systemctl --user restart maliit-server

Q3: How can i install manually if my NFC does not work?

Q4: I want the bleeding edge stuff, how do i get it?

A: Manual install instructions here: https://github.com/kimmoli/tohkbd2#installing-through-mer-obs-repo

Note that when you install from mer-obs, you dont see it in Store -> My apps. The software for tohkbd is not available as a regular app in the store, it is ambience package which installs when you attach TOH to the phone.

Q5: Why my ÅÄÖ does not work?

Q6: I have AZERTY/QWERTZ layout, but i get qwerty characters when i type with it?

Q10: The layout settings -option is grayed out in settings, why?

Q13: Why the Symbols €, £ and µ doesn't work?

A: Jolla Sailfish 1.1.6.27 version (and older) does not support changing keyboard layout. We need to wait for sailfish update. Current layout does not support compose or special chars outside of pc-105 US layout. The settings are grayed out becaused they do not work yet.

Q7: Why it does not work in Android apps?

A: This does not work on Jolla Sailfish 1.1.6.27 version (and older), it is expected to start working on next Sailfish update.

Q8: I did back the Kickstarter project, when i get my tohkbd?

A: There is no clear answer to this. There is a list of shipped orders according to Kickstarter backer number. If your number is not on the list, it is not shipped. Come to IRC to find out more. See here how to find backer number: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Also, be aware that there seems to be some issues with emailing notifications of shipments, and you might not get such email.

Dirk did assembly most of the Scandic layout keyboards first, as the parts for them arrived first. Some of other layouts have also been arrived (at time of writing this). There is no specific order in which the manufacturing happens, it is basically controlled by the availability of material.

Also the shipment may take anything between 2 days to 2 weeks to arrive. Please be patient.

Q9: Cool, this is so cool. How do i get one?

A: Sorry, You are late, about 7 months. There are nothing left. All stocks are empty. Finito. Loppu. Slut. But keep your eyes open for if someone wants to sell his/hers ?

Q11: My apps are in landscape even tohkbd is not attached, can you help?

A: The landscape forcing logic might get stuck. Use following sequence if it happend:

Go to TOHKBD Settings -> General settings, clear Force Landscape option.
Disconnect TOH part from phone.
Go to Jolla Settings -> System -> Display and change Orientation to Dynamic (propably it said Landscape?)
Re-attach TOH

Q12: I dont remember what address i provided or what color combination i selected

A: See here how to find survey info from Kickstarter: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Q14: What if i ordered from funkyotherhalf.com ?

A: Your order will be handled after the kickstarter orders, you will get a notification from the webshop when it is sent.

Q15: How can i hide Fingerterm virtual keyboard?

A: Fingerterm virtual keyboard can be hidden from Fingerterm menu, Top-right corner Hamburger-menu, VKB Behaviour Off - Auto hiding coming (hopefully, PR is in)

Q16: I want to use Fingerterm in position where keyboard does not block Flash but it wont turn, why?

A: Unfortunately Fingerterm does not support Inverted Landscape. Silica version (not released) supports it, so again, patience.

Q999: I have other question, where i can ask it?

A: PLEASE come and chat with us in IRC freenode #jollatohkbd - for online client, click here

Q17: Keyboard keeps flashing backlight, and removed/connected notifications keep coming...

Q18: Keyboard keeps repeating keys, not registering keypresses properly and all s#%¤ like that

A: Most propably the TOH contact pads needs to be cleaned. Easiest to do this is take TOH out from phone, take PCB out from 3d printed case (it is not fixed there so should pop out easily). Then use dry, clean paper towel/tissue and rub both of the 6-pad gold contact areas - specially the small grooves between the pads.

Q19: My TOHKBD does not start automatically anymore after reboot or when attaching TOH to phone

A: Propably the TOH EEPROM contents has been corrupted.

If you have manually started daemon, please stop it systemctl stop harbour-tohkbd2 as root.

Then, keep TOH part attached to the phone, but not the kbd part, and follow instructions steps 1 to 6 on this wiki page [1]

In the EEPROM page you should see screen with following values: (if everything is ok)

Vendor ID:   1989
Product ID:  0003
Revision:      01
EEPROM Size: 0100
CFG Addr:    0040
CFG Size:    0010
UDATA Addr:  0080
UDATA Size:  0000

If all those values are correct, continue from step 14 from the wiki page. This was not the problem you had.

Typically corruption hits the first parameter(s), so you might see something like FF89 instead of 1989. If values are incorrect, just tap and edit them to correct ones, then continue instructions from step 9 from the wiki page by writing values to EEPROM.

Now, reattach TOH part to the phone and check does the daemon start properly and does keyboard work. You can check daemon from tohkbd settings application, if About page shows version number for it, it is ok (Note that the version is read when settings app is started)

A: Manual install instructions here: https://github.com/kimmoli/tohkbd2#installing-through-mer-obs-repo

Note that when you install from mer-obs, you dont see it in Store -> My apps. The software for tohkbd is not available as a regular app in the store, it is ambience package which installs when you attach TOH to the phone.

Q5: Why my ÅÄÖ does not work?

Q6: I have AZERTY/QWERTZ layout, but i get qwerty characters when i type with it?

Q10: The layout settings -option is grayed out in settings, why?

Q13: Why the Symbols €, £ and µ doesn't work?

A: Jolla Sailfish 1.1.7. version (and older) does not support changing keyboard layout.(even it is in UI) We need to wait for sailfish update. Current layout does not support compose or special chars outside of pc-105 US layout. The settings are grayed out becaused they do not work yet.

Q7: Why it does not work in Android apps?

A: This does not work on Jolla Sailfish 1.1.6.27 version (and older). TOHKBD works with Android from 1.1.7.x and higher.

Q8: I did back the Kickstarter project, when i get my tohkbd?

A: There is no clear answer to this. There is a list of shipped orders according to Kickstarter backer number. If your number is not on the list, it is not shipped. Come to IRC to find out more. See here how to find backer number: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Also, be aware that there seems to be some issues with emailing notifications of shipments, and you might not get such email.

Dirk did assembly most of the Scandic layout keyboards first, as the parts for them arrived first. Some of other layouts have also been arrived (at time of writing this). There is no specific order in which the manufacturing happens, it is basically controlled by the availability of material.

Also the shipment may take anything between 2 days to 2 weeks to arrive. Please be patient.

Q9: Cool, this is so cool. How do i get one?

A: Sorry, You are late, about 7 months. There are nothing left. All stocks are empty. Finito. Loppu. Slut. But keep your eyes open for if someone wants to sell his/hers ?

Q11: My apps are in landscape even tohkbd is not attached, can you help?

A: The landscape forcing logic might get stuck. Use following sequence if it happend:

Go to TOHKBD Settings -> General settings, clear Force Landscape option.
Disconnect TOH part from phone.
Go to Jolla Settings -> System -> Display and change Orientation to Dynamic (propably it said Landscape?)
Re-attach TOH

Q12: I dont remember what address i provided or what color combination i selected

A: See here how to find survey info from Kickstarter: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Q14: What if i ordered from funkyotherhalf.com ?

A: Your order will be handled after the kickstarter orders, you will get a notification from the webshop when it is sent.

Q15: How can i hide Fingerterm virtual keyboard?

A: Fingerterm virtual keyboard can be hidden from Fingerterm menu, Top-right corner Hamburger-menu, VKB Behaviour Off - Auto hiding coming (hopefully, PR is in)

Q16: I want to use Fingerterm in position where keyboard does not block Flash but it wont turn, why?

A: Unfortunately Fingerterm does not support Inverted Landscape. Silica version (not released) supports it, so again, patience.

Q17: Keyboard keeps flashing backlight, and removed/connected notifications keep coming...

Q18: Keyboard keeps repeating keys, not registering keypresses properly and all s#%¤ like that

A: Most propably the TOH contact pads needs to be cleaned. Easiest to do this is take TOH out from phone, take PCB out from 3d printed case (it is not fixed there so should pop out easily). Then use dry, clean paper towel/tissue and rub both of the 6-pad gold contact areas - specially the small grooves between the pads.

UPDATE Just confirmed that there seems to be RF field immunity issue when using 4G mobile data and keyboard is attached on left-side of the phone. As workaround, use 3G mobile data (or wifi) or attach keyboard on right-side of the phone.

Q19: My TOHKBD does not start automatically anymore after reboot or when attaching TOH to phone

A: Propably the TOH EEPROM contents has been corrupted.

If you have manually started daemon, please stop it systemctl stop harbour-tohkbd2 as root.

Then, keep TOH part attached to the phone, but not the kbd part, and follow instructions steps 1 to 6 on this wiki page [1]

In the EEPROM page you should see screen with following values: (if everything is ok)

Vendor ID:   1989
Product ID:  0003
Revision:      01
EEPROM Size: 0100
CFG Addr:    0040
CFG Size:    0010
UDATA Addr:  0080
UDATA Size:  0000

If all those values are correct, continue from step 14 from the wiki page. This was not the problem you had.

Typically corruption hits the first parameter(s), so you might see something like FF89 instead of 1989. If values are incorrect, just tap and edit them to correct ones, then continue instructions from step 9 from the wiki page by writing values to EEPROM.

Now, reattach TOH part to the phone and check does the daemon start properly and does keyboard work. You can check daemon from tohkbd settings application, if About page shows version number for it, it is ok (Note that the version is read when settings app is started)

Q20: The virtual keyboard was stuck on TOHKBD minimal layout after removing keyboard. How to restore?

A: If you have never set your virtual keyboard layout, the default is set by device language, but seems it is not available for TOHKBD in the way it checks it. Disconnect TOH from phone, and go to Jolla Settings > System > Text input and change the virtual keyboard layout to your preferred language (when stuck, it should show TOHKBD there)

If you have manually started daemon, please stop it systemctl stop harbour-tohkbd2 as root.

Then, keep TOH part attached to the phone, but not the kbd part, and follow instructions steps 1 to 6 on this wiki page [1]

In the EEPROM page you should see screen with following values: (if everything is ok)

Vendor ID:   1989
Product ID:  0003
Revision:      01
EEPROM Size: 0100
CFG Addr:    0040
CFG Size:    0010
UDATA Addr:  0080
UDATA Size:  0000

If all those values are correct, continue from step 14 from the wiki page. This was not the problem you had.

Typically corruption hits the first parameter(s), so you might see something like FF89 instead of 1989. If values are incorrect, just tap and edit them to correct ones, then continue instructions from step 9 from the wiki page by writing values to EEPROM.

Now, reattach TOH part to the phone and check does the daemon start properly and does keyboard work. You can check daemon from tohkbd settings application, if About page shows version number for it, it is ok (Note that the version is read when settings app is started)

Q20: The virtual keyboard was stuck on TOHKBD minimal layout after removing keyboard. How to restore?

A: If you have never set your virtual keyboard layout, the default is set by device language, but seems it is not available for TOHKBD in the way it checks it. Disconnect TOH from phone, and go to Jolla Settings > System > Text input and change the virtual keyboard layout to your preferred language (when stuck, it should show TOHKBD there)

Q999: I have other question, where i can ask it?

A: PLEASE come and chat with us in IRC freenode #jollatohkbd - for online client, click here

Q999: I have other question, where i can ask it?

Q1: Why nothing happens when i attach TOH to the phone?

A: You have issue with NFC, proceed with following:

Check with original Jolla TOH that you hear sound when you attach
Check from Jolla Settings -> System -> About product that you see The OtherHalf ID there
Check that your tohd.service is not masked/disabled. First devel-su then systemctl status tohdshould return green active (running)
If not, try systemctl unmask tohd then systemctl enable tohd then systemctl start tohd and re-attach TOH
If problem persists, and even original Jolla TOH's doesn't work, please contact care via this link: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Q2: Why the virtual keyboard does not disappear when i attach keyboard part?

A: Maliit server is not restarted. Reboot your phone, or systemctl --user restart maliit-server

Q3: How can i install manually if my NFC does not work?

Q4: I want the bleeding edge stuff, how do i get it?

A: Manual install instructions here: https://github.com/kimmoli/tohkbd2#installing-through-mer-obs-repo

Note that when you install from mer-obs, you dont see it in Store -> My apps. The software for tohkbd is not available as a regular app in the store, it is ambience package which installs when you attach TOH to the phone.

Q5: Why my ÅÄÖ does not work?

Q6: I have AZERTY/QWERTZ layout, but i get qwerty characters when i type with it?

Q10: The layout settings -option is grayed out in settings, why?

Q13: Why the Symbols €, £ and µ doesn't work?

A: Jolla Sailfish 1.1.7. version (and older) does not support changing keyboard layout.(even it is in UI) We need to wait for sailfish update. Current layout does not support compose or special chars outside of pc-105 US layout. The settings are grayed out becaused they do not work yet.

Q7: Why it does not work in Android apps?

A: This does not work on Jolla Sailfish 1.1.6.27 version (and older). TOHKBD works with Android from 1.1.7.x and higher.

Q8: I did back the Kickstarter project, when i get my tohkbd?

A: There is no clear answer to this. There is a list of shipped orders according to Kickstarter backer number. If your number is not on the list, it is not shipped. Come to IRC to find out more. See here how to find backer number: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Also, be aware that there seems to be some issues with emailing notifications of shipments, and you might not get such email.

Dirk did assembly most of the Scandic layout keyboards first, as the parts for them arrived first. Some of other layouts have also been arrived (at time of writing this). There is no specific order in which the manufacturing happens, it is basically controlled by the availability of material.

Also the shipment may take anything between 2 days to 2 weeks to arrive. Please be patient.

Q9: Cool, this is so cool. How do i get one?

A: Sorry, You are late, about 7 months. There are nothing left. All stocks are empty. Finito. Loppu. Slut. But keep your eyes open for if someone wants to sell his/hers ?

Q11: My apps are in landscape even tohkbd is not attached, can you help?

A: The landscape forcing logic might get stuck. Use following sequence if it happend:

Go to TOHKBD Settings -> General settings, clear Force Landscape option.
Disconnect TOH part from phone.
Go to Jolla Settings -> System -> Display and change Orientation to Dynamic (propably it said Landscape?)
Re-attach TOH

Q12: I dont remember what address i provided or what color combination i selected

A: See here how to find survey info from Kickstarter: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Q14: What if i ordered from funkyotherhalf.com ?

A: Your order will be handled after the kickstarter orders, you will get a notification from the webshop when it is sent.

Q15: How can i hide Fingerterm virtual keyboard?

A: Fingerterm virtual keyboard can be hidden from Fingerterm menu, Top-right corner Hamburger-menu, VKB Behaviour Off - Auto hiding coming (hopefully, PR is in)

Q16: I want to use Fingerterm in position where keyboard does not block Flash but it wont turn, why?

A: Unfortunately Fingerterm does not support Inverted Landscape. Silica version (not released) supports it, so again, patience.

Q17: Keyboard keeps flashing backlight, and removed/connected notifications keep coming...

Q18: Keyboard keeps repeating keys, not registering keypresses properly and all s#%¤ like that

A: Most propably the TOH contact pads needs to be cleaned. Easiest to do this is take TOH out from phone, take PCB out from 3d printed case (it is not fixed there so should pop out easily). Then use dry, clean paper towel/tissue and rub both of the 6-pad gold contact areas - specially the small grooves between the pads.

UPDATE Just confirmed that there seems to be RF field immunity issue when using 4G mobile data and keyboard is attached on left-side of the phone. As workaround, use 3G mobile data (or wifi) or attach keyboard on right-side of the phone.

Q19: My TOHKBD does not start automatically anymore after reboot or when attaching TOH to phone

A: Propably the TOH EEPROM contents has been corrupted.

If you have manually started daemon, please stop it systemctl stop harbour-tohkbd2 as root.

Q21: The ambience is installed, but why the keyboard does not start working when attaching TOH to phone? It works after rebooting phone.

A: Maybe you are attaching TOH to phone wrong way... Attach TOH to phone correctly: Start by placing TOH on the USB connector end of phone, then snap it in place. This is to make the microswitch switch last, as the EEPROM is read by tohd when microswitch is pressed. If it fails to read it (which may happen when starting from bottom edge) the daemon does not start.

A: If you have never set your virtual keyboard layout, the default is set by device language, but seems it is not available for TOHKBD in the way it checks it. Disconnect TOH from phone, and go to Jolla Settings > System > Text input and change the virtual keyboard layout to your preferred language (when stuck, it should show TOHKBD there)

Q21: The ambience is installed, but why the keyboard does not start working when attaching TOH to phone? It works after rebooting phone.

A: Maybe you are attaching TOH to phone wrong way... Attach TOH to phone correctly: Start by placing TOH on the USB connector end of phone, then snap it in place. This is to make the microswitch switch last, as the EEPROM is read by tohd when microswitch is pressed. If it fails to read it (which may happen when starting from bottom edge) the daemon does not start.

Q22: Why selected layout is not working in Android apps?

A: On 1.1.9.28, the Sailfish started to support layout switching for physical keyboads. Unfortunately this change has no effect on Android apps, which still are US (QWERTY) only. Waiting for Sailfish update to fix this.

Meanwhile, community workaround is out there, which requires replacing file

/opt/alien/system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm

with a custom one, and restart Android support.

Q22: Why selected layout is not working in Android apps?
Q999: I have other question, where i can ask it?

Q1: Why nothing happens when i attach TOH to the phone?

A: You have issue with NFC, proceed with following:

Check with original Jolla TOH that you hear sound when you attach
Check from Jolla Settings -> System -> About product that you see The OtherHalf ID there
Check that your tohd.service is not masked/disabled. First devel-su then systemctl status tohdshould return green active (running)
If not, try systemctl unmask tohd then systemctl enable tohd then systemctl start tohd and re-attach TOH
If problem persists, and even original Jolla TOH's doesn't work, please contact care via this link: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Q2: Why the virtual keyboard does not disappear when i attach keyboard part?

A: Maliit server is not restarted. Reboot your phone, or systemctl --user restart maliit-server

Q3: How can i install manually if my NFC does not work?

Q4: I want the bleeding edge stuff, how do i get it?

A: Manual install instructions here: https://github.com/kimmoli/tohkbd2#installing-through-mer-obs-repo

Note that when you install from mer-obs, you dont see it in Store -> My apps. The software for tohkbd is not available as a regular app in the store, it is ambience package which installs when you attach TOH to the phone.

Q5: Why my ÅÄÖ does not work?

Q6: I have AZERTY/QWERTZ layout, but i get qwerty characters when i type with it?

Q10: The layout settings -option is grayed out in settings, why?

Q13: Why the Symbols €, £ and µ doesn't work?

A: Jolla Sailfish 1.1.7. version (and older) does not support changing keyboard layout.(even it is in UI) We need to wait for sailfish update. Current layout does not support compose or special chars outside of pc-105 US layout. The settings are grayed out becaused they do not work yet.

Q7: Why it does not work in Android apps?

A: This does not work on Jolla Sailfish 1.1.6.27 version (and older). TOHKBD works with Android from 1.1.7.x and higher.

Q8: I did back the Kickstarter project, when i get my tohkbd?

A: There is no clear answer to this. There is a list of shipped orders according to Kickstarter backer number. If your number is not on the list, it is not shipped. Come to IRC to find out more. See here how to find backer number: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Also, be aware that there seems to be some issues with emailing notifications of shipments, and you might not get such email.

Dirk did assembly most of the Scandic layout keyboards first, as the parts for them arrived first. Some of other layouts have also been arrived (at time of writing this). There is no specific order in which the manufacturing happens, it is basically controlled by the availability of material.

Also the shipment may take anything between 2 days to 2 weeks to arrive. Please be patient.

Q9: Cool, this is so cool. How do i get one?

A: Sorry, You are late, about 7 months. There are nothing left. All stocks are empty. Finito. Loppu. Slut. But keep your eyes open for if someone wants to sell his/hers ?

Q11: My apps are in landscape even tohkbd is not attached, can you help?

A: The landscape forcing logic might get stuck. Use following sequence if it happend:

Go to TOHKBD Settings -> General settings, clear Force Landscape option.
Disconnect TOH part from phone.
Go to Jolla Settings -> System -> Display and change Orientation to Dynamic (propably it said Landscape?)
Re-attach TOH

Q12: I dont remember what address i provided or what color combination i selected

A: See here how to find survey info from Kickstarter: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Q14: What if i ordered from funkyotherhalf.com ?

A: Your order will be handled after the kickstarter orders, you will get a notification from the webshop when it is sent.

Q15: How can i hide Fingerterm virtual keyboard?

A: Fingerterm virtual keyboard can be hidden from Fingerterm menu, Top-right corner Hamburger-menu, VKB Behaviour Off - Auto hiding coming (hopefully, PR is in)

Q16: I want to use Fingerterm in position where keyboard does not block Flash but it wont turn, why?

A: From SailfishOS version 1.1.9.28, Fingerterm rotates to both, Landscape and Inverted Landscape. ~~Unfortunately Fingerterm does not support Inverted Landscape. Silica version (not released) supports it, so again, patience.~~

Q17: Keyboard keeps flashing backlight, and removed/connected notifications keep coming...

Q18: Keyboard keeps repeating keys, not registering keypresses properly and all s#%¤ like that

A: Most propably the TOH contact pads needs to be cleaned. Easiest to do this is take TOH out from phone, take PCB out from 3d printed case (it is not fixed there so should pop out easily). Then use dry, clean paper towel/tissue and rub both of the 6-pad gold contact areas - specially the small grooves between the pads.

UPDATE Just confirmed that there seems to be RF field immunity issue when using 4G mobile data and keyboard is attached on left-side of the phone. As workaround, use 3G mobile data (or wifi) or attach keyboard on right-side of the phone.

Q19: My TOHKBD does not start automatically anymore after reboot or when attaching TOH to phone

A: Propably the TOH EEPROM contents has been corrupted.

If you have manually started daemon, please stop it systemctl stop harbour-tohkbd2 as root.

Then, keep TOH part attached to the phone, but not the kbd part, and follow instructions steps 1 to 6 on this wiki page [1]

In the EEPROM page you should see screen with following values: (if everything is ok)

Vendor ID:   1989
Product ID:  0003
Revision:      01
EEPROM Size: 0100
CFG Addr:    0040
CFG Size:    0010
UDATA Addr:  0080
UDATA Size:  0000

If all those values are correct, continue from step 14 from the wiki page. This was not the problem you had.

Typically corruption hits the first parameter(s), so you might see something like FF89 instead of 1989. If values are incorrect, just tap and edit them to correct ones, then continue instructions from step 9 from the wiki page by writing values to EEPROM.

Now, reattach TOH part to the phone and check does the daemon start properly and does keyboard work. You can check daemon from tohkbd settings application, if About page shows version number for it, it is ok (Note that the version is read when settings app is started)

Go to Jolla Settings -> System -> Display and change Orientation to Dynamic (propably it said Landscape?)
Re-attach TOH

Q12: I dont remember what address i provided or what color combination i selected

A: See here how to find survey info from Kickstarter: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Q14: What if i ordered from funkyotherhalf.com ?

A: Your order will be handled after the kickstarter orders, you will get a notification from the webshop when it is sent.

Q15: How can i hide Fingerterm virtual keyboard?

A: Fingerterm virtual keyboard can be hidden from Fingerterm menu, Top-right corner Hamburger-menu, VKB Behaviour Off - Auto hiding coming (hopefully, PR is in)

Q16: I want to use Fingerterm in position where keyboard does not block Flash but it wont turn, why?

A: From SailfishOS version 1.1.9.28, Fingerterm rotates to both, Landscape and Inverted Landscape. ~~Unfortunately Fingerterm does not support Inverted Landscape. Silica version (not released) supports it, so again, patience.~~

Q17: Keyboard keeps flashing backlight, and removed/connected notifications keep coming...

Q18: Keyboard keeps repeating keys, not registering keypresses properly and all s#%¤ like that

A: Most propably the TOH contact pads needs to be cleaned. Easiest to do this is take TOH out from phone, take PCB out from 3d printed case (it is not fixed there so should pop out easily). Then use dry, clean paper towel/tissue and rub both of the 6-pad gold contact areas - specially the small grooves between the pads.

UPDATE Just confirmed that there seems to be RF field immunity issue when using 4G mobile data and keyboard is attached on left-side of the phone. As workaround, use 3G mobile data (or wifi) or attach keyboard on right-side of the phone.

Q19: My TOHKBD does not start automatically anymore after reboot or when attaching TOH to phone

A: Propably the TOH EEPROM contents has been corrupted.

If you have manually started daemon, please stop it systemctl stop harbour-tohkbd2 as root.

Then, keep TOH part attached to the phone, but not the kbd part, and follow instructions steps 1 to 6 on this wiki page [1]

In the EEPROM page you should see screen with following values: (if everything is ok)

Vendor ID:   1989
Product ID:  0003
Revision:      01
EEPROM Size: 0100
CFG Addr:    0040
CFG Size:    0010
UDATA Addr:  0080
UDATA Size:  0000

If all those values are correct, continue from step 14 from the wiki page. This was not the problem you had.

Typically corruption hits the first parameter(s), so you might see something like FF89 instead of 1989. If values are incorrect, just tap and edit them to correct ones, then continue instructions from step 9 from the wiki page by writing values to EEPROM.

Now, reattach TOH part to the phone and check does the daemon start properly and does keyboard work. You can check daemon from tohkbd settings application, if About page shows version number for it, it is ok (Note that the version is read when settings app is started)

[1] = https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/The_other_half#Use_the_I2CTool_to_write_EEPROM

Q20: The virtual keyboard was stuck on TOHKBD minimal layout after removing keyboard. How to restore?

A: If you have never set your virtual keyboard layout, the default is set by device language, but seems it is not available for TOHKBD in the way it checks it. Disconnect TOH from phone, and go to Jolla Settings > System > Text input and change the virtual keyboard layout to your preferred language (when stuck, it should show TOHKBD there)

Q21: The ambience is installed, but why the keyboard does not start working when attaching TOH to phone? It works after rebooting phone.

A: Maybe you are attaching TOH to phone wrong way... Attach TOH to phone correctly: Start by placing TOH on the USB connector end of phone, then snap it in place. This is to make the microswitch switch last, as the EEPROM is read by tohd when microswitch is pressed. If it fails to read it (which may happen when starting from bottom edge) the daemon does not start.

Q22: Why selected layout is not working in Android apps?

A: On 1.1.9.28, the Sailfish started to support layout switching for physical keyboads. Unfortunately this change has no effect on Android apps, which still are US (QWERTY) only. Waiting for Sailfish update to fix this.

Meanwhile, community workaround is out there, which requires replacing file

/opt/alien/system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm

with a custom one, and restart Android support.

Q23: When changing layout, first keypress is with previous layout

A: This is a known issue, happens also with bluetooth keyboards. Mostly annoys people who switch between RU/EN layouts. Jolla knows about this but no ETA for fix.

Q999: I have other question, where i can ask it?

Q999: I have other question, where i can ask it?

Q1: Why nothing happens when i attach TOH to the phone?

A: You have issue with NFC, proceed with following:

Check with original Jolla TOH that you hear sound when you attach
Check from Jolla Settings -> System -> About product that you see The OtherHalf ID there
Check that your tohd.service is not masked/disabled. First devel-su then systemctl status tohdshould return green active (running)
If not, try systemctl unmask tohd then systemctl enable tohd then systemctl start tohd and re-attach TOH
If problem persists, and even original Jolla TOH's doesn't work, please contact care via this link: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Q2: Why the virtual keyboard does not disappear when i attach keyboard part?

A: Maliit server is not restarted. Reboot your phone, or systemctl --user restart maliit-server

Q3: How can i install manually if my NFC does not work?

Q4: I want the bleeding edge stuff, how do i get it?

A: Manual install instructions here: https://github.com/kimmoli/tohkbd2#installing-through-mer-obs-repo

Note that when you install from mer-obs, you dont see it in Store -> My apps. The software for tohkbd is not available as a regular app in the store, it is ambience package which installs when you attach TOH to the phone.

Q5: Why my ÅÄÖ does not work?

Q6: I have AZERTY/QWERTZ layout, but i get qwerty characters when i type with it?

Q10: The layout settings -option is grayed out in settings, why?

Q13: Why the Symbols €, £ and µ doesn't work?

A: Jolla Sailfish 1.1.7. version (and older) does not support changing keyboard layout.(even it is in UI) We need to wait for sailfish update. Current layout does not support compose or special chars outside of pc-105 US layout. The settings are grayed out becaused they do not work yet.

Q7: Why it does not work in Android apps?

A: This does not work on Jolla Sailfish 1.1.6.27 version (and older). TOHKBD works with Android from 1.1.7.x and higher.

Q8: I did back the Kickstarter project, when i get my tohkbd?

A: There is no clear answer to this. There is a list of shipped orders according to Kickstarter backer number. If your number is not on the list, it is not shipped. Come to IRC to find out more. See here how to find backer number: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Also, be aware that there seems to be some issues with emailing notifications of shipments, and you might not get such email.

Dirk did assembly most of the Scandic layout keyboards first, as the parts for them arrived first. Some of other layouts have also been arrived (at time of writing this). There is no specific order in which the manufacturing happens, it is basically controlled by the availability of material.

Also the shipment may take anything between 2 days to 2 weeks to arrive. Please be patient.

Q9: Cool, this is so cool. How do i get one?

A: Sorry, You are late, about 7 months. There are nothing left. All stocks are empty. Finito. Loppu. Slut. But keep your eyes open for if someone wants to sell his/hers ?

Q11: My apps are in landscape even tohkbd is not attached, can you help?

A: The landscape forcing logic might get stuck. Use following sequence if it happend:

Go to TOHKBD Settings -> General settings, clear Force Landscape option.
Disconnect TOH part from phone.
Go to Jolla Settings -> System -> Display and change Orientation to Dynamic (propably it said Landscape?)
Re-attach TOH

Q12: I dont remember what address i provided or what color combination i selected

Q1: Why nothing happens when i attach TOH to the phone?

A: You have issue with NFC, proceed with following:

Check with original Jolla TOH that you hear sound when you attach
Check from Jolla Settings -> System -> About product that you see The OtherHalf ID there
Check that your tohd.service is not masked/disabled. First devel-su then systemctl status tohdshould return green active (running)
If not, try systemctl unmask tohd then systemctl enable tohd then systemctl start tohd and re-attach TOH
If problem persists, and even original Jolla TOH's doesn't work, please contact care via this link: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Q2: Why the virtual keyboard does not disappear when i attach keyboard part?

A: Maliit server is not restarted. Reboot your phone, or systemctl --user restart maliit-server

Q3: How can i install manually if my NFC does not work?

Q4: I want the bleeding edge stuff, how do i get it?

A: Manual install instructions here: https://github.com/kimmoli/tohkbd2#installing-through-mer-obs-repo

Note that when you install from mer-obs, you dont see it in Store -> My apps. The software for tohkbd is not available as a regular app in the store, it is ambience package which installs when you attach TOH to the phone.

Q5: Why my ÅÄÖ does not work?

Q6: I have AZERTY/QWERTZ layout, but i get qwerty characters when i type with it?

Q10: The layout settings -option is grayed out in settings, why?

Q13: Why the Symbols €, £ and µ doesn't work?

A: Jolla Sailfish 1.1.7. version (and older) does not support changing keyboard layout.(even it is in UI) We need to wait for sailfish update. Current layout does not support compose or special chars outside of pc-105 US layout. The settings are grayed out becaused they do not work yet.

Q7: Why it does not work in Android apps?

A: This does not work on Jolla Sailfish 1.1.6.27 version (and older). TOHKBD works with Android from 1.1.7.x and higher.

Q8: I did back the Kickstarter project, when i get my tohkbd?

A: There is no clear answer to this. There is a list of shipped orders according to Kickstarter backer number. If your number is not on the list, it is not shipped. Come to IRC to find out more. See here how to find backer number: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Also, be aware that there seems to be some issues with emailing notifications of shipments, and you might not get such email.

Dirk did assembly most of the Scandic layout keyboards first, as the parts for them arrived first. Some of other layouts have also been arrived (at time of writing this). There is no specific order in which the manufacturing happens, it is basically controlled by the availability of material.

Also the shipment may take anything between 2 days to 2 weeks to arrive. Please be patient.

Q9: Cool, this is so cool. How do i get one?

A: Sorry, You are late, about 7 months. There are nothing left. All stocks are empty. Finito. Loppu. Slut. But keep your eyes open for if someone wants to sell his/hers ?

Q11: My apps are in landscape even tohkbd is not attached, can you help?

A: The landscape forcing logic might get stuck. Use following sequence if it happend:

Go to TOHKBD Settings -> General settings, clear Force Landscape option.
Disconnect TOH part from phone.
Go to Jolla Settings -> System -> Display and change Orientation to Dynamic (propably it said Landscape?)
Re-attach TOH

Q12: I dont remember what address i provided or what color combination i selected

A: See here how to find survey info from Kickstarter: https://together.jolla.com/question/96836/tohkbd-faq/?answer=96838#post-id-96838

Q14: What if i ordered from funkyotherhalf.com ?

A: Your order will be handled after the kickstarter orders, you will get a notification from the webshop when it is sent.

Q15: How can i hide Fingerterm virtual keyboard?

A: Fingerterm virtual keyboard can be hidden from Fingerterm menu, Top-right corner Hamburger-menu, VKB Behaviour Off - Auto hiding coming (hopefully, PR is in)

Q16: I want to use Fingerterm in position where keyboard does not block Flash but it wont turn, why?

A: From SailfishOS version 1.1.9.28, Fingerterm rotates to both, Landscape and Inverted Landscape. ~~Unfortunately Fingerterm does not support Inverted Landscape. Silica version (not released) supports it, so again, patience.~~

Q17: Keyboard keeps flashing backlight, and removed/connected notifications keep coming...

Q18: Keyboard keeps repeating keys, not registering keypresses properly and all s#%¤ like that

A: Most propably the TOH contact pads needs to be cleaned. Easiest to do this is take TOH out from phone, take PCB out from 3d printed case (it is not fixed there so should pop out easily). Then use dry, clean paper towel/tissue and rub both of the 6-pad gold contact areas - specially the small grooves between the pads.

UPDATE Just confirmed that there seems to be RF field immunity issue when using 4G mobile data and keyboard is attached on left-side of the phone. As workaround, use 3G mobile data (or wifi) or attach keyboard on right-side of the phone.

Q19: My TOHKBD does not start automatically anymore after reboot or when attaching TOH to phone

A: Propably the TOH EEPROM contents has been corrupted.

If you have manually started daemon, please stop it systemctl stop harbour-tohkbd2 as root.

Then, keep TOH part attached to the phone, but not the kbd part, and follow instructions steps 1 to 6 on this wiki page [1]

In the EEPROM page you should see screen with following values: (if everything is ok)

Vendor ID:   1989
Product ID:  0003
Revision:      01
EEPROM Size: 0100
CFG Addr:    0040
CFG Size:    0010
UDATA Addr:  0080
UDATA Size:  0000

If all those values are correct, continue from step 14 from the wiki page. This was not the problem you had.

Typically corruption hits the first parameter(s), so you might see something like FF89 instead of 1989. If values are incorrect, just tap and edit them to correct ones, then continue instructions from step 9 from the wiki page by writing values to EEPROM.

Now, reattach TOH part to the phone and check does the daemon start properly and does keyboard work. You can check daemon from tohkbd settings application, if About page shows version number for it, it is ok (Note that the version is read when settings app is started)

[1] = https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/The_other_half#Use_the_I2CTool_to_write_EEPROM

Q20: The virtual keyboard was stuck on TOHKBD minimal layout after removing keyboard. How to restore?

A: If you have never set your virtual keyboard layout, the default is set by device language, but seems it is not available for TOHKBD in the way it checks it. Disconnect TOH from phone, and go to Jolla Settings > System > Text input and change the virtual keyboard layout to your preferred language (when stuck, it should show TOHKBD there)

Q21: The ambience is installed, but why the keyboard does not start working when attaching TOH to phone? It works after rebooting phone.

A: Maybe you are attaching TOH to phone wrong way... Attach TOH to phone correctly: Start by placing TOH on the USB connector end of phone, then snap it in place. This is to make the microswitch switch last, as the EEPROM is read by tohd when microswitch is pressed. If it fails to read it (which may happen when starting from bottom edge) the daemon does not start.

Q22: Why selected layout is not working in Android apps?

A: On 1.1.9.28, the Sailfish started to support layout switching for physical keyboads. Unfortunately this change has no effect on Android apps, which still are US (QWERTY) only. Waiting for Sailfish update to fix this.

Meanwhile, community workaround is out there, which requires replacing file

/opt/alien/system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm

with a custom one, and restart Android support.

DISCLAIMER These are courtesy of people in talk.maemo.org tohkbd2 thread, and IRC. I have not made these. I have not tested these (I do not use Android apps).

DISCLAIMER You should really know what you are doing. TAKE BACKUP of original file before overwriting.

Note; You might also need to replace .kl file if such is provided in above links.

/opt/alien/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl

Q23: When changing layout, first keypress is with previous layout

A: This is a known issue, happens also with bluetooth keyboards. Mostly annoys people who switch between RU/EN layouts. Jolla knows about this but no ETA for fix.

Q24: Why some of the keys are not working properly? i can't type `@` or `{` `[` `|` `]` `}` ?

A: There is still small issue with some symbols. This is caused by missingAltGr key in one of the sailfish key mapping configuration files, boston.qmap.

While waiting Jolla to fix this, you can install fixed boston.qmap from OpenRepos: https://openrepos.net/content/kimmoli/boston-qmap-fix

Note, that you (most propably) need to re-install this after SFOS update.

UPDATE! Fixed boston.qmap is in SFOS update from 2.0.2.51. You'll need remove that OR package and re-install sbj-configs. For still unknown reason, OR package blocks it from updating the file, and reverts it to the older version.

Q999: I have other question, where i can ask it?
