Hi there everyone, got the Tab S3 keyboard today, and the @ key doesn't work, it just produces ", any ideas?

Hi @Macallan1964,

You will need to change the keyboard layout to English(UK)

If unsure on how to do that let me know and I will talk you through it.

I have the same issue.

The keyboard layout is already in English (UK). I tried changing it to another layout but it only registers the English (UK).

The @ problem still persists.

Hi @Garylai.

Are you able to post a picture of the keyboard you get when you go to type something? Has it always had the @ issue?

And which Android version is your Tab S3 on? Settings > About tablet > Software Information.

Hi, I have exactly same issue. Did anyone find a solution? The @ symbol is not mapped to the correct key but language and keyboard definately english.

Found the correct seting that works for me

Go to Settings>General Management>Language Input>Phyical Keyboard>Tab S3 Book Keyboard Cover

Set Samsung keyboard to English (UK)

Might need to download it but it should then have the keys in the right places 🙂

I followed the advice but when I got to the keyboard settings I had to select "English (US) , International style". Sstandard English (UK) or (US) did not give me correct characters for Shift+2 , Shift+3, Shift+", or \.

Now the keyboard behaves like it looks and like my QWERTY PC keyboard.

Interesting, just switched back to "English (US) , International style" and now keyboard gives shift+2 @, shift+3 #, shift+' " whereas "English (UK)" keyboard correctly gives shift+2 ", shift+3 £, shift+' @. This works correctly in Word and Google haven't noticed any problems in any other apps.

My other settings are:

Language "English (United Kingdom)"

Default Keyboard "Samsung Keyboard"

On-screen Keyboard "Samsung Keyboard" is set to "English (UK)"

I posted in this forum because this is where I found the relevant thread for my original issue. I should have (?) mentioned that I am in Australia using a Samsung keyboard bought here. I guess they do have different keyboard mappings for different countries.

Should also have mentioned that my keyboard layout has, and I want, Shift+2 giving the @ character and Shift+3 the # symbol. Don't have much use for the Sterling Currency out here!

That will be the reason then, the UK has a diffrent keyboard mapping to Australia and USA. Anyway the method works for changing the map just have to pick the right map to suit your location! 🙂

On my Tablet Tab S3 with the original Samsung TAB S3 Cover keyboard, after UPDATE to Pie9, the (/?) Key under the (ENTER) key stopped working. My keyboard is in Brazilian Portuguese. Previously on Android 8, everything worked correctly. Does anyone know how to regularize this? I've tried to change the language to others and nothing has changed. Please I need help.
