Keyboard is rubbish!!! - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, Ive just brought myself a 'Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini' i upgrade from a S1!!! Along time coming but i didn't want a bigger phone.
Anyway what the hell is up with the keyboard!!! I don't use the qwerty keyboard i use the standard 3x4 keyboard with predictive text on.
1, i cant add words???
2, the 0 key doesn't turn the predictive text on and off anymore???
3, im pressing WXYZ now and its writing a load of crap??? (we will work with you when you were working with you) surly it should just write loads of w, x, y or z???
I just want my old standard keyboard back not this new crap fancy one!!! Any advise would be great on trying to get it back or even adding it to a rom or something???
Cheers, James

I'm using swift key. Try it, it's one of the best.

Google Play has plenty of alternative keyboards to download.
I use Thumb Keypad: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.keyboardplus&hl=en
Currently has 50% off.
Brilliant, use it on both phone and tablet.

Your keyboard configuration must be messed up big time.
Try to reset it

HTC IME Problems

Anyone who got the cursor moving by taping om the sides of the phone?
Mine works a few times, then it stops until I change keyboard and then change back to HTC ime. The taping works fine with stock lg keyboard and SwiftKey.

use the volume keys to move the cursor, much easier
I'm aware of that feature, but it's not what I'm asking for.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus On-screen buttons

I saw that in some roms on various devices like Galaxy Mini, and I would like to ask you are there any way to have it on MiniCM9?
What's the point? You already have buttons and they will only take up screen space. It will just make the screen look smaller.
Dunno why, but i like them. Plus I tried them on my friend's galaxy mini and they looked cool and they would be pretty useful for me because my hardware buttons were crappy.
It is impossible to actually add new software buttons to the phone but this app might do thhe trick for ya https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
Thank me if i helped

That is because the hardware is compatible and the screen to. Our screen is just not abld to do that (correct me if im wrong)

It is possible. Its like a software or app. Any phone could have this with ICS even like hmm. hTC Tattoo. The screen does need something special to have them

Our hardware is not capable but the Galaxy MINI's hardware is capable? Its strange if its true... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe1oesBIDm4&feature=related
I think its totally useless because of our phones screen size. Thoose buttons would took too much space. If your hardware buttons are broken use Button savior from market.
They would look cool, but they're pretty useless for our device!
OK I have a modded Verizon galaxy nexus with 4.0.4,in tab mode. Every thing is customized ,except one thing....with that said, I bring you to my question. Can you make a call button for the navigation menu,. My reason for that is there are two menus one on screen and the other on the navigation bar.a standard call button on that bar would make more space thus elements the on screen menu bar altogether. CAN U DO IT. send answers to [email protected] thanks.

Oh I would love to know the answer to this! I hate that! I'd also like to know if you can change the autocorrect bar SIZE! The suggestions are HUGE!? haha.
Any other input? Thanks!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
you can enable the autocorrect, but disable substitute words, you can do that from the settings, input, then samsung key board, xt9 enable then advanced settings mess around with that
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Anyone else have a solution? I really want to fix this issue!
I moved on. I now use swift key 3.... Its a better solution in my humble opinion...

Any knows witch ROM has the normal keyboard T9, not the Qwerty?

HI,
I´m having a hard time finding a ROM with a normal keyboard, all the ROMS I tryed like Cyan etc, all have that AOSP keyboard and in messages it appears allways as a "qwerty".
Any one know a ROM with a T9 keyboard?
Thank you very much!

thanks for da reply.
Anyone ever heard of 'search box' ?
juz find modded t9 keyboard and install it to any of ur ROM. there is plenty of modded keyboard out there
Why choosing a ROM by its keyboard? there are plenty of keyboards in the Google Play, even T9.
Though that qwerty is the most popular keyboard because people got used to it, it has something to do with old writing machines.

Two catches,
1.) Doesn't really work on ICS (but fine on Jelly Bean)
And
2.) Long pressing keys doesn't seem to work
Otherwise that may be what you're looking for. Just remember to set the T9 keyboard under the keyboard settings.

SM-N9208 duos keyboard

Hi I have the SM-N9208 duos Taiwan since I'm not using chinese keyboard would it be possible to change the keyboard to be something like SM-N920i version without rooting?
Currently I can change the language to English but still the keyboard layout is not as user friendly as the other international model.
Or would it be possible to change to Malaysia SM-N9208 keyboard?

Hey mate, tried clicking on your link but it only takes me to the Amazon page for Samsung. Can you please link to the normal Samsung Keyboard?
Thanks so much.
Normal English Samsung keyboard for Taiwan set the keyboard layout for symbol, punctuation, etc are different compared to the normal international set since it was designed for Chinese charcter input.
So I'm looking into replacing it with the normal international version.

Would u mind share how the Malaysian set keyboard look like, especially the punctuation. Thanks

That's exactly what I have - Taiwan set. So Malaysia and Taiwan must be having the same keyboard.
