Set English Keypad Default

Hello guys,
I downloaded 9.0.0.3 and I am really content with this version. But there one point thats really nerving in my eyes. every time i want to write sth, the keypad is chinese, to change it, i have to press the language change button two times. that suxx. can anybody tell me if there s a way to set the english keypad as the default one?
Thank you

It's always been like that.
No one has come up with a solution yet.
It is pretty annoying, but bear with it. After all, the m8 is released for the domestic market in china after all.

Strangely enough if you go to Settings > System > Keyboard you can find switches there to turn off chinese or english keyboards, but it's not functioning

yes i found it too. maybe it will be fixed with the next firmware update. lets hope

I would also like the sms to change. I want a rotated keyboard, way easier to type, and ofcourse, faster.
The keyboard needs some drastic changes!

Yeah this part of the upgrade doesn't benefit us english users, i text frequently so i really don't like have 2 taps to get to english... i have upgraded yesterday, but i will go back to 9.0.1 if this keyboard thing goes too annoying to work with.

Have u guys try this SIP?? "PlumSIP6.1 Plus"

i think this SIP is quite good

I tried but felt the keyboard is too small to type on comfortably. Also I couldn't turn off predictive input to be able to write in hungarian...

Maybe next version of FW would open the keypad setting functions.

Usually I just press ENTER on the keyboard after every word. regardless if the keyboard is set to Chinese or not, the word comes out as-is.

Did you notice that when you're on english mode, the last word before sending no longer needs to be confirmed by pressing enter or space bar?

talking about the offical keyboard, i can not confirm this. i just sent several short messages yesterday on 0.9.0.3_v2 and the messages were all missing the final word as i did not press space/enter after typing it in (word was still underlined).... as for 0.9.0.4 ... havent tested that yet

i have the same problem in address book. If you don't enter or space after the surname it doesn't save the name..

One question for admin.. the forums are interesting, and a wealth of information about the M8. However would it be more accessible if the info were stored in a Wiki format rather than forum.. A lot of info is now buried, and spread across many threads..

Just a thought..

i got send msg to Meizu engineer, ask them set default english keyboard on English mode. they said they will take note and improve it on new coming firmware. not sure they will do or not.

Thanks, it would be really good for all Meizu Me members if they actually add the option to disable the Chinese keyboards.

International keyboard -this is what really should be!
