Is there a way to deactivate poping up of the touch keyboard? Everytime when I am in an input field the touch keyboard pops up. But if I really want to enter something I want to use the QWERTY hardware keyboard. So is there a way to deactivate that the touch keyboard always pops up?
3 new threads out of 5 total posts... some would look down upon that. Since a simple search by me for your problem did not yield any direct answers, here's your freebie. Welcome to XDA!
When you go to a text box in landscape mode and the onscreen keyboard pops up, tap the space bar on the hardware keyboard. That will tell the phone not to pop up the onscreen keyboard again until you tap the icon for it.
No, I mean not when I have my hardware keyboard folded out. I mean when it is folded that the touchscreen keyboard doesnt show up.

OK, let's try this again... so is this your situation?
You are using the phone in portrait mode with the hardware keyboard closed. When you click into a text box, the onscreen keyboard pops us. But you do not want the keyboard to pop up. You want to be able to click into text fields with the phone closed, but not have the onscreen keyboard pop up.
Did I summarize that correctly? If so, I'm working on the answer, give me a little bit.
--Edit--
I just tried the following steps:
Slide the phone open
Open PIE and go to Google
Tap into the text box; the onscreen keyboard did not come up
Tap the icon for the onscreen keyboard; it came up
Tap away from the text box; keyboard went away
Tap into the text box; keyboard came back
Tap Space on hardware keyboard; onscreen went away
Tap away from the text box
Slide the phone closed
Tap into the text box; onscreen keyboard did not come back
Follow my steps just to see if that is your solution. If not, it could quite possibly be ROM dependent.
Your summary is correct.
Here is what happens at my Kaiser:
When I am on google the onscreen keyboard is there. Everything else works fine but I dont like that the onscreen keyboard comes everytime I am in a textbox.
I am using the ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403214
Try the steps I listed above. Also, if you tap a second time in the text box, the keyboard will close, but pop back up if you go to another box.
The problem is that if I open PIE and got to google the onscreen keyboard will pop up without doing anything and I want to get rid of this "feature".
Hi buddies,
New keyboard of Topaz doesn't include ctrl and alt. How can i get the traditional keyboard back? Or is there any work around?
Thanks in advance.
keyboard
so, when you write a message, middle bottom you have a keyboard. click on it (try double click or exactly on the up sign and a menu appears to change the keyboard type). And select keyboard.
But that is without ctrl and alt
select keyboard, it has ctrl(the button with ctl), I don't know about alt though
I love my Xperia. I installed the haptic feedback for the touch screen (which really helps alot) but to make my Xperia 100% it would be great if someone could tell me what I need to change in the registry to my make each key on my keyboard vibrate when I press it since the keys dont move much when pressed and therefore I always need to check whether what I pressed shows up.
I know there was a registry entry that could be done for the MDA Vario years back but i cant find that thread anymore.
Someone... please let me know how or a small app would be even better. Thanks everyone!

How you do that? I mean to install haptic feedback on xperia?
if you install "fingerboard 2.0" you get haptic feedback. much better keyboard than the standard one too...
Haptic feedback on our xperias keyboard is quite a good idea i look forward to seeing the outcome of this thread
I don't mean to sound negative, as different people have different requirements...
But, the whole point of haptic feedback with on screen keyboards is to create the illusion of a normal hardware keyboard which by default gives feedback when a key is pressed.
Why someone would want haptic feedback on haptic feedback is beyond me.
Haptic keyboard
What I mean is, when using the physical keyboard (the actual keys not the touch screen keyboard) I would like a small vibration with each key pressed. That is clear enough to understand i think

NO Lolz.
This is not haptic. This is vibrating hardware keyboard. Haptic is when the whole phone vibrates if you press the ON-SCREEN keyboard.

Haptic (wrt phone/pda) is just a word for the response given when something is pressed, regardless of what it is. He's perfectly right calling it a haptic keyboard. "Haptic" is not a word that's limited to describing keyboard/touch/stylus responses on a touchscreen (that said a keyboard is haptic by it's very nature, as the keys click, but it's pretty obvois what he's asking for, and while not to everyone's tastes, not the worst idea I've heard in a long time).
Vibrating keyboard
well, instead of writing back and forth about the name, does anyone have an idea how this can be done, the vibrating of the hardware keyboard when each letter is pressed = haptic feedback? THANKS!

Generally, yes. In the borders of his question, no.
The fact is out X1 keyboards they offer very little feedback from the buttons aka not a big CLICK as such.
And sometimes with people having multiple presses of the key problems etc im sure vibration when typing on keyboard feature can help this
you dudes know about a program that can make a click sound when pressing HW button like fingerkeyboard ? that would also be nice
^^ use built-in software, go to sounds and notifications and check hardware buttons (either select soft or loud) in the sounds tab

omggggggg thx
Does anyone have a tip on how to have the hardware keys vibrate when being pressed? Thanks!
Anyone have any suggestons? Amazing how some people are quick to point out proper terminology and write again and again regarding haptic or not haptic but no one is able to come up with a suggestion to the actual question
like some1 allready stated, "finger keyboard" ?
best touchkeyboard imo anyway
I am trying different keyboards on my S5.
When using google keyboard, I can long press on the spacebar to bring up 'switch keyboard' popup.
This let me quickly switch to a different keyboard.
When using samsung keyboard, I not able to switch this way. Nothing happens when I long press spacebar.
Does anyone know how to quickly switch to a different keyboard from samsung keyboard.
Stock keyboard - how to enable "spacebar swipe" to switch between languages?
Normally on the Samsung keyboard, if you have 2 or more languages added (e.g. English + Korean) you can swipe the spacebar left and right to switch between languages.
Unfortunately for me, my keyboard is not letting me do this. Instead it shows a globe button near the bottom right, and I have to tap this button to switch languages. This is really inconvenient. It makes the spacebar really short so that I often tap the wrong key. It slows down my typing overall.
Does anyone else have this issue? I like the Samsung keyboard except for this little problem. I see other S10 phones with the spacebar swipe. I did research and some people say accessibility options affects it, but all my accessibility options are off. Is it something to do with bloatware that I have remove using adb commands? I did remove a few Samsung packages, like GalaxyApps.
Would be grateful if someone could please help me out.
PS. I also cannot update the keyboard app (via Keyboard settings screen > About). Probably because I removed GalaxyApps using adb commands.
