I had heard Google Voice worked fine on the Touch, but the lower third of the keyboard is always missing, rendering its SMS/text capabilities basically nil.
Anyone have a similar experience and/or have a workaround?
(sigh)
Well, I worked on the app trying different methods of possibly expanding the keyboard to full size to no avail. I searched the Market for any substitutes for GoogleVoice. Nothing there, either.
Has anyone found a substitute?
GV Mobile site.
I use the Google Voice mobile site: www dot google dot com/voice/b/0/m. It works great in Opera Mobile. I'm too new to post links, so you'll have to fix that address...
Drakkim:
Indeed! I ended up switching to using the mobile site (in Opera mini) just as you did. Worked fine for me.
However, of late, I decided to switch keyboards (currently both GO Keyboard and ICS Keyboard) and they end up working just fine in the actual Google Voice app. These keyboards don't get "cut off".
I use swifttabletx, but the corrections don't pop up, so i disabled them, and it works great.

Hi guys,
Hope someone can assist. I have a stock Tab, and entered all the suggested APN settings. I now have 3G (Can text, call, recieve calls etc...), and I can use internet apps, such as Facebook, Market etc. However, using the stock internet browser ... nothing. Web page cannot be displayed. I can't browse. When I get into Wifi connectivity, then it all works fine...
So, under 3G, I have internet, but can't browse.
I have upgraded to Gingerbread, and still have the same issues. Any ideas what can just block browsing, but allow everything else? The only common things I guess, is my APN settings... the device it's self ... and my network.
I'm in Australia, using TPG as my provider..
try grabbing another browser in the market like opera mini which is amazing. If that solves the problem then its something to do with the installation of the UI or Android on your device. Either restore to factory settings. If neither work you may have a port issue on your APN settings as different internet services work differently. So triple check with your carrier.
But if Opera or another browser works then I would suggest restore factory settings and if they don't work with stock browser then call Sammy and they will do a full reset on the device and or replace it. They are not that bad at doing this.
Hope this helps.
dolphin hd is better browser... just my suggestion.
Love with opera that it has link and my home screens and bookmarks all sync to my phone and tab.
That for me is reason enough .. But Di like dolphin too >:~)

Miren and opera are definitely the best, doplin just seems to bloated and fat for my liking
No one uses Firefox??
Tried ff some nice features but bloated to hell and buggy
Maybe whenbits bit more stable will give it a run

Hi
I recently bought a keyboard dock ECR-K10D for my tab.The keyboard works fine.Except when i use it for Thinkfree Office.I am able to use it to create new documents & type accordingly. However, when i try to create a new spreadsheet & type in it there's no input registered, i have to tap the screen & then only the characters are registered as an input. I thought it was a software issue but the touch type keyboard works fine onscreen.the "issue" happens only when I dock the tab in the keyboard dock. Anyone out there facing anything similar or shud i try another office app?
I just picked up that keyboard as well a few days ago. Only spent about 20min on it thus far. Seem to work fine as far as nav around the home screens and menu. Only tried a note app for a moment to try out the typing and it was perfect. My keyboard is at work, so tomarrow I will try it out in a speadsheet of thinkfree. I will get back to you then.
I did see one issue. Some times when I undock from the keyboard, and then redock a few minutes later, the keyboard does not want to work. It makes the sound as if has docked, but nothing. I can undock and redock once or twice to get it back working. My settings are set to the keyboard and not Swipe. (just like the manual recomended) No biggie just can be a hassel. Have you run in to this?(or has anyone else that may be reading?)

Grem,
Your 100% correct. I comfirm that the keyboard does not work for inputting data in cells of the spreadsheet program of Thinkfree. The word processor program of Thinkfree works great with the keyboard from what I can tell.
Well, hopefully we will not run in to this very often with other apps.

i use swiftkey keyboard, and when i type in an address in the standard browser, if I then go to use the swiftkey predictions somewhere, it no longer predicts.
also, why does voice search force close unless you have the standard browser installed?
i use opera mobile because I find it much better all round, but i can't get rid of the standard browser for the simple reason that if i do voice search will stop working.
anyone have a way to make voice search and vlingo work without the standard browser (CM7)?
thanks
Voice search is integrated with the stock WebKit it will never work with another browser. As for your online prediction most keyboards don't predict for use online as web addresses are usually not common dictionary words and auto complete adds spaces which is not optimal for address entry.
hi
thanks for reply - but what i meant was that by typing anything in the standard browser using swiftkey, predictions no longer work in any app eg. handcent or gmail until I kill the keyboard app.
i think ive found a fix for the voice search too, it looks possible that voice search may have been looking for standard browser as default after id uninstalled it, so i just had to make sure to set opera as the default for that function. its working.... for now hehe
SwiftKey X don't use word prediction when you type e.g. url, email addres or password..

MIUI ROMs somehow manage to bypass this by having a freaking awesome stock browser set as the default, and voice search works with it flawlessly. Do you think there's any way to set another browser as the default in the Webkit as is done in MIUI?

How did you go about "setting opera as the default for that function?"
EDIT: Ok, I'm a bit shocked that this worked. I've been using Miren, Boat Browser, and ninesky, but I haven't tried Dolphin HD in a few months. After installing it, even with the stock browser completely uninstalled, Google Voice Search now automatically queries my search terms in Dolphin. Thank you SO MUCH for the tip!

When using the steam for mobile app on my nook, everything works fine.
Except the messenger only shows the top half of the keyboard (ie the qwerty and asdf rows)
Not only is this weird, it does this in both portrait and landscape. Another instant messenger with steam chat support did this too.
The keyboard works fine and properly in every other app.
Has anyone else encountered this problem/have a fix?
Hi there,
I had this issue with default keyboard and with Google Talk. I am using now Hacker's Keyboard and this issue in Google Talk is gone. Try different keyboard (esp. Hacker's Keyboard) and you will see.
How did you install Hacker's Keyboard on your NST?

When on google play Hacker's Keyboard is listed as incompatible and I cant view it to download when viewing it from search market app on my NST. It also wont seem to sideload the apk from dropbox. Howd you do that?!

i have the same problem as you, unfortunately i don't have solution, i am completely new to android
Hey guys,
So I've tried everything I can think of, but my google voice typing icon does nothing when I touch it. If I hold it down, it still brings up settings, but just stays inactive when I touch it. I was able to use it after I first flashed the captivating rom, in fact I mistakenly made it my default keyboard somehow.... and once I figured out how to turn it off of default (reset the phone to apply settings) for some reason it stopped working. Not sure if there's any more options short of backing up and re-flashing.
I'm still using the same captivating rom, with unofficial semaphore kernel.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Which version of the ROM are you running? I'm currently running X6 and I've had some other odd keyboard issues. Have you tried resetting the default keyboard? (I know you took off the other one from default but what did you set as the default after)
I have tried both xperia keyboard and the android keyboard as default. Neither work
X6 here too
I'll try to download the google voice app later when I get home from work. If any one else has had any keyboard issues your input would also be appreciated .
Yeah I downloaded Google voice a couple hours ago, hoping it could fix it. Are they actually related though?
It's odd because it's only the keyboard icon that won't access google voice typing... I can do voice search etc.
Odd, I'll try this as well once I get home. Just to note, I DID NOT flash X6 from a clean install. I "dirty" flashed it over X5. Not sure if you did as well (It wouldn't come as a surprise if this was the cause of some of these issues, if you did this as well).
Actually I did flash from stock.

X7 is posted now and I've heard it fixes some of the keyboard issues. Hope it helps.
