[Q] Dictionary doesn't save words - LG Optimus 2x

hello guys,
i'm from germany, so first of all sorry for my bad english!
i'm using the lg keyboard with (of course) german language, but the problem is, that new added words aren't automatically saved in the dictionary... so i have to manually select them and of course type them 100% correct every time.
is this a known bug or do just i have this problem?
my rom: modaco fr11

I also have this problem best thing to do is hold the 12? key bottom left of the keyboard and select user dictionary to add words.

but in this case i would have to add manually every new word, right? :-/

no space or word suggestions for sms

hey guys, is it just me or is it normal that when you're typing an sms and select the suggested word in t9, it does NOT add a space, perform spelling or suggest next word. I find it a bit annoying that after selecting the predicted text that I then have to hit the space button again.
I've checked "Add a space after word" and "enable auto correct"
Is anyone else having this problem?
Same thing as you.....
also no t9 with keyboard option...would be good if had.
...and the T9 does not allow a new word to contain a number and letter combo. for example "2moro"
i know i should not be butchering the english language but it sure is handy.
previous winmo devices have allowed me to add number letter combo's so this seems weird

Boring issue in more than one of the presented rom's

Hi all,
I have flashed some of the ROM's provided here and am seeing an issue which might not disturb many, but disturbs me.
I am a Dutch guy living in Russia, but not willing to accept either Russian or Dutch as a normal language. For me English is the only acceptable language for a ROM. On the other hand, numbers, currency, date and time are favourite to be "Dutch" again.
If I download a WWE or ENglish ROM (as I downloaded an Energy ROM now) I get the English language, so far so good.
But when I try to install the following format for numbers 1.000.000,00 (same for currency) I am told that the character to divide between full numbers or parts cannot be changed to "," or worse between each three digits I cannot place a ".".
Is there a way to change this in registry, so I can change this anyway, even if the regional setting does not allow this ?
Just to make sure You understand me, if I choose for Dutch regional settings, all looks fine, but Calendar or some programs are immediately "talking" Dutch to me, something I dislike again. Sunday should always be Sunday on computers (even if I do understand Zondag)
Any help would be appreciated.

When you change to a non-English regional setting, like Dutch, it automatically changes the names of the months and days (and a few other related things) into the language for that region. That's what you're seeing. You can still keep those in English and get the other settings you want, but the settings have to be entered in manually.
To do this, start with one of the English regions that's closest to what you want. Then, you can change all of the other settings to what you expect. For the command/period problem with long numbers, you have to type in the command and period. They will not be in the drop down. Also, you'll need to adjust the order of month/day/year, etc. to what you expect it to be.
I just tried it on my phone to be sure it would work. For your reference, it should be exactly the same process to do it on your computer running Windows.
Also...
I don't know about anyone else, but I thought it was an interesting question. But that's probably just because I have to deal with localization and internationalization in my regular work.
Hello fenux,
thanks that my boring issue is interesting for somebody
But , this does not seem to solve the issue for me.
I have the Energy Rom at the moment I have chosen the Dutch regional settings, as they are what I need for numbers or at least I can change it to what I need.
As for testing your proposal I change the regional settings to English (United Kingdom) so I would get the Englisch language. I go to "numbers" and try to change the "," to a "." not by using the dropdown menu, but by using the keyboard instead. New character is not accepted. Tried to do the same through the software keyboard, same result.
Actually that was why I asked if I can change such in the registry somewhere.
Any more ideas maybe ?
Regards,
Ruud
I'm not sure why it's not letting you change them. I did find this page (http://www.pcoperative.com/ppc/registry_tweaks.htm#Override Date & Time Format) which includes some of the information on where the override information is stored. But it doesn't include changing the decimal and thousands separator.
Here are the settings for those, taken from my registry after I overrode them:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
; Decimal for normal numbers
"SDeci":","
; Digit grouping (thousands) for normal numbers
"SThsn":"."
; And for currency
"SMDcS":","
"SMThS":"."
Hi fenux,
interesting information, I will play around with those. It is visible that some of those strings are not available after chosing a certian regional setting, but I can add them. I will see if I can get to solve my issue with this.
Yes, this looks perfect on first try, thank You VERY much.
regards,
Ruud
Now if You can answer me another question: what is the most stable and fastest ROM around here, I really need it.
I've had good luck with the 21885/Sense 2.1 version of EnergyROM (not as many extras as the other versions, but it's stable and fast). I'm working on my own that fits my needs a little better, but it's nowhere near ready for public use.
Hi fenux,
I am sorry if unclear, but that last sentence was supposed to be more of a joke.
But of course thanks for the answer anyway.
When I downloaded the Energy I made some mistake and took the 28011 instead. When I tried to download the other I was made to understand that there is a time limit, so I did not bother anymore. I like the ROM itself, very nice, but am actually downloading the 21885 at the moment. Reason is that my AlarmMaster 2.0 does not work anymore, as soon as an alarm is supposed to ring, the display is being switched on and the program hangs. The program is too important to me, so I have to change here.
This was my line before editing : I very much like the Action and OK button on the lower part of the screen, so I use the Sense 2,5 version.
But : after a succesfull flash I noticed that actually that ROM does not include the Action and OK buttons below. It also does not have any issue with the regional settings at all. I will continue to install all programs (as I lack time for playing) and hope / presume this ROM to be stable.
Thanks again.

[Q] Froyo keyboard questions..?

This is probably not the right place for this post, but this is the kinda of phone I have...
I recently rooted my phone and installed CM (yay!) and I noticed the new keyboard that comes with froyo, I like it already.
I have two questions:
1 - what happened to some of the special characters, for example the carrot ^ ? I used it for some of my passwords and I can't find it. It's not under the . or O or the numbers or anywhere else..?
2 - I see I can install additional languages (I can read Hebrew now on my phone, that's a first ever...!) so I installed Hebrew, it says to swipe across the space key but.. nothing really happens? Is there a "secert swiping gesture" or something? hmmm.
Hit the ALT button on the symbols keyboard and it will bring up a lot of other characters, including the ^

[Q] Disable Shift + Space = Lang on Keyboard dock?

I just bought my Galaxy Tab yesterday, and it's pretty awesome. I also bought the keyboard dock, and it's excellent except for one super annoying problem: If you hit space while holding shift, it changes the language. In my case, it doesn't do anything (Just says ENGLISH on the screen), but it's really annoying to have that pop up every time I type a sentence with caps or punctuation in it.
For example: Typing "WOW! THIS IS AWESOME!" would be easy. You just hold shift while typing the whole sentence. On the tab, at every space it acts as though I have pressed the Lang key on the keyboard. This only happens with the hardware keyboard.
I did some mucking around in system files (/system/usr/keylayout/), and noticed p1_keyboard.kl, but only the actual Lang key is mapped to LANG. When I commented that line out, my Lang key was disabled, but the Space+Shift still "worked" and popped "English" up on my screen. The Freedom Pro drivers have an option to disable shift+space, but the regular samsung keyboard does not. Any idea how to get rid of this incredibly annoying behavior?
Edit: I just noticed that this "feature" is documented in the manual. No way to disable it is mentioned.
Just a quick update: I've contacted Samsung Support via twitter, but they didn't have a galaxy tab available with a keyboard dock. Seriously. Samsung Support didn't have a galaxy tab with external keyboard to even test the issue. I'm trying e-mail next. Frankly, having shift+space change the language when there is a language button RIGHT NEXT TO THE SPACEBAR is insane.
I think I have to make my own solution to this one. Of course, I can't post in the developers section yet, so I can't really ask for help there either. I'm fairly certain that the solution isn't /system/usr/keylayout/p1_keyboard.kl because, while there is a LANG button mapped, disabling it merely disables the actual LANG button on the keyboard. Shift + Space continues to switch the language.
This is literally making me not use the keyboard, because if I type "I", and hold shift a bit too long, ENGLISH shows up on my screen. If I'm typing a sentence with lots of caps or acronyms, ENGLISH is on the screen pretty much the entire time because I'm holding shift. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Did you by chance get any answers to this issue? I am having the same issue and it's driving me nuts. Almost every sentence that I write I have to backspace and start over.
Hey everyone, I came across this post while searching for a way to disable the SHIFT+SPACE keyboard shortcut (Stupid!).
So, while it's default in Samsung Keyboard, other keyboards allow other options. I installed "Google keyboard", and now everything works great, and I don't have the annoying popup everytime I hold shift too long before a space!
Hello, I'm resurrecting this thread because shift space is still an issue in Samsung Keyboard. Gboard (what Google Keyboard is called now) solved this problem for me, too. -- Ronald Althenn, former Samsung call center analyst
I've installed GBoard, but Samsung Keyboard shortcuts still work. When I look at keyboard setting for my physical keyboard, I can see that both keyboard layouts (GBoard & Samsung) are present. I can't seem to find a way to force my device (Note 8) to only use GBoard layout.
Thoughts?
Sorry for the late reply. I dropped my phone recently and started having that same issue. Even with gboard installed, I am never going to need to change my language using shift space, ever, and yet even when I'm using sidesync just so I can see my screen, English pops up all the time and eats up my space. I am trying to find other ways of fixing this. I will post again soon.
---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------
Okay, I think I've got it. When there is an external keyboard attached in sidesync, you must use the Select Keyboard notification and choose Gboard. This is where the proper command hooks get installed. Shift space comes out as a space when I type using gboard. If you have a "Select External Keyboard" notification, don't change it there, because shift space still popped up English for me until I used the first notification.
This is insanely complicated, I know. I wish I was a Samsung dev; I'd submit a change to fix that. I'll have a job soon, I hope.

This issue is now more annoying than ever thanks to DeX forcing you to use the Samsung Keyboard.
You can manually disable the Samsung Keyboard via ADB, but doing so results in either:
* phone screen waking/blurring whenever clicking into a type field in DeX
* DeX hard crashing and requiring a wipe of app data via ADB if you try to force the on-screen keyboard in DeX from "phone" to "monitor" while Samsung Keyboard is disabled
Keep reporting this crap to Samsung until they at the very least add a simple toggle to disable the shift-space "feature."
OMG I HATE this stupid thing!!!!!!!!!! so much, I don't understand, if ctrl+space is switching lang already, wtf do you put something like shift (very common)! I HATE this so much to the degree I might retrun the whole thing
Finally they've changed that stupid thing. Now you can go Settings->General Management->Language and Input->Physical keyboard->Change language shortcut
Using a bluetooth keyboard with my S10+. I disabled the toggle you mention here, but shift+space still does nothing (literally nothing too, it doesn't say "English" or anything like that on screen when I push it).
My primary touch keyboard is G-Board as well.

[Q] S3 LTE input language resetting issue...

Hi guys!
I have the S3 LTE (GT-I9305) and it's on Android 4.1.2 Build Number JZO54K.I9305XXBLL5
Now I don't remember how the phone behaved earlier (before the last updates), but my issue is this: I have set as input languages English, German and Serbian. But whenever I reset the phone (or turn it off and on) - and wanna write something, all languages dissapear from the keyboard and there is only english left. BUT - when I go to the keyboard settings, under "input language" all the languages I want are checked, and the phone then says "updating" and "no languages added" (or something), and when I go back to writing, all languages are there... until I reset the phone and have to do it all again... Does anybody know anything about the issue? And yes, I am using the Samsung keyboard.
Thanks!
Jupp same here...English and German, same Samsung Stock rom and same behaviour...ie after boot no add. languages...click options > input languages and then a little message appears "updated" and back out and I can change the languages via the spacebar...strange didn't actually notice until you told me...
