is there an app to enable a spell check for the physical keyboard like the on screen keyboard?
i would like something like that!
HTC's Input Method from the Hero will spellcheck for the hardware keyboard, if you have it selected as the active input method. Thing is, you have to open the keyboard, and then tap on the text field (even if it's already selected) to turn on the spell checking. Also, you have to use their touch input method in order to get their hardware keyboard spellchecking.
Get it here.
Conversely, is there a way to turn OFF the spell checking for the hardware keyboard? I find myself typing faster than the spell checking can handle and it causes a lag...

I found that if you hit "menu" it will turn off the spell check on the hardware version

Does anyone know if theres a way to keep the keyboard from automatically popping up when you tap in a text field? I'm using L26 v12 ROM w/ the full qwerty keyboard.
I know this has been answered in the past, by me, as a matter of fact. But since a site search did not yield the original thread/answer, here ya go:
With the hardware keyboard out, tap into a text box. When the onscreen keyboard pops up, hit Space on the hardware keyboard. From now on, the onscreen keyboard will not pop up until you tap the icon for it.
Excellent!... and quick too.
Actually I don't use the site search, I used google w/ xda as one of the search parameters. This might have been a case of not using the correct keywords in the search...
Either way that did the trick - Thanks

hmm, learn something new every day. I must have missed it when you posted this before. i'll drop that knowledge in the old brain tank and save it for later.
The auto complete for the hardware keyboard (which I believe is modified).
Is quite annoying. I am on Cyanogen 7.6.2...
I tried turning it off through settings and no luck... It makes my typing much slower.
Is there a file to remove through terminal emulator or ADB?
Don't press the text field when the keyboard is open. A little trick I found out to stop it. If you disable it, you disable autocomplete on the VK.
I know that but that is plain annoying too

if you turn off the HTC keyboard, you can disable it properly i believe
Would be awesome if there was a way to disable autocomplete for the hardware keyboard without having to disable it for the VK. I understand the reason why there's not such an option, as I assume the HTC_IME is really only available (in the wild) on phones that have no physical keyboard, so no such distinction is necessary.
Is this something that could be hacked or modified? I don't suppose there's source available for the HTC_IME?
Would be nice if there was an option as I much rather hte HTC_IME, especially in protrait mode for the phone keypad and T9. Best way is to get used of using the trackball to move into the text field instead of touching it to avoid prompting the auto correct when using the hardware keyboard.
Maybe someone might work on a more internal solution when the time comes.
Go into
Settings > Locale and Text > Touch Input
Disable Prediction and Word Completion
That will fix it

I think the problem is that this also disables VK's autocomplete.
This problem is the reason why I went with the Chinese IME. I do use the Chinese part, but not enough to be the deal breaker. The HTC_IME has better portrait mode VK, but the autocomplete-with-hard-keyboard kept me from using it.
On Cyanogen's todo list, it says something about stopping interference with HTC_IME and the physical keyboard. I think he might have been talking about the autocomplete thing, not sure though.

Yea i had seen and i hope its for that it annoys the crap out of me
I like to have word prediction on, so that I can see word suggestions and choose a word if I want to. But it seems to force autocorrect too (when I write a word that it doesn't recognize it puts in the highlightet word in the prediction window when I press space, instead of the word I have written. And I don't want it to autocorrect anything.
Is it possible to keep the word prediction, but without the forced autocorrection?
i don't have the phone right now but you can take a look in the settings>keyboard & languages
Thanks, but I can't seem to figure out what to change. I go to the HTC Sense Input > Advanced where I can turn predictions on and off, but I can't change the autocorrection there. I think..

there should be the google correction in that setting if i am not wrong...
Couldn't find that, so have switched to SwiftKey keyboard instead.

I DO want the word predictions, suggestions, autocorrect, etc features.
What I absolutely cannot STAND, as well as cannot phantom why they thought it was a good idea, is how the stock keyboard will replace a word you typed correctly with a completely different word it assumed you "meant" to type, even when both words are in it's dictionary. The keyboard options seem to be an all-or-nothing deal from as far as I can tell, either I disable any and all types of correction and prediction features whatsoever, or leave them all on.
Yes, I know there are alternate keyboards, but I prefer the stock one. Is there any way to disable only this feature?
Settings/language and keyboard/Htc sense input/advanced. Its right there at the top it says "Word Prediction",un check the box

I don't think that's the option I am thinking of. I am talking about how it will auto-replace the current word you are typing, even if it is spelled correctly AND in the phone's dictionary, by the word it thinks you MEANT to type. Not offering suggestions to what it thinks you are typing before you are done typing it, or autocorrecting misspelled words.
Currently use SwiftKey, and if setup correctly I can see a line of suggestions at the bottom, while I use my Bt keyboard AND I can utilize the SwiftKey to act as a spellcheck (which is desperately missing from the tab - my only complaint!)
Nonetheless, the SwiftKey goes bonkers with caps and in hancom apps too (which I use a ton).
Any other recommendations for a keyboard app that can act as a real time spell checker?
Thx

I can't find a keyboard that does spell check correctly, so I just do without and have Tasker switch to Fleksy when a BT keyboard is connected. I use the invisible keyboard option, nice and clean, just no spell check.
