i have been using my htc one for a couple of days now and am finding real issues with the keyboard and the auto correct feature. I know its not that i am miss clicking the wrong letter etc but find that simple things like 'i' gets changed to something like UN? and the word for allways gets corrected to 'fir'
these are just a couple that spring to mind but it seems like some of the very simple words are getting changed to something really odd, anyone one else finding this or know how to solve it. I know with some words it will learn them and then save them for next time but this is just crazy that the simple words it gets wrong...very annoying
AW: [Q] Htc One - keyboard help needed
Possibly the language hasn't been Set correctly? I have similar issues if I forget to adjust the setting when switching between languages.

hmm, pretty sure that when i first started to use the keyboard it came up with a list of languages that were all ticked and i 'unticked' all of them but english.
How would i check i have it right though?
Swiftkey

+1 - swiftkey is simply the best android keyboard imo
but yea what they are saying is also probably right.
disable every language apart from english, and make sure the language key shows "EN"
Make sure the language for the keyboard hasn't been changed (this is separate from picking your language during set up of the phone).
On the HOX you go to settings --> language and keyboard --> HTC Sense Input (keyboard options) --> language
Should be similar on the One.

I have a Norwegian Samsung Galaxy Tab and Norwegian Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Norwegian letters "æøå" on bluetooth keyboards are not supported out-of-the-box, so I searched forums without much luck. I found some helpful threads and decided to solve the problem and share the solution. Others can make their own modified keyboard settings quite easily using the same methods.
Using "adb logcat" I found that the keyboard layout files used were the "Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kcm.bin" and "Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl" (might not be the same on other devices - CHECK!). I had the "adb logcat" going while connecting and disconnecting the keyboard, so that I could see what keyboard files were used by the apple keyboard. I made a backup of these and started modifying them, with success.
DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU DESTROY YOUR DEVICE WITH THIS!
I offer no guarantee this will work for everybody!
HOW TO USE:
"Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kcm.bin" --> /system/usr/keychars/
"Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl" --> /system/usr/keylayout/
I did this simply by copying the files with the app "Super Manager".
Make backup first. My backups are included just in case.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN KEYBOARD SETTINGS:
I used a hex editor called UltraEdit on pc to change some symbols in the .kcm.bin-file, and I used the "KeyTest.apk" from github to make out all the scancodes and used them when editing the .kl-layout file in Notepad on the phone.
NB! If you use the hex editor, make sure you always change one symbol at a time and always do backups for each little change. Whenever I did some change that the system didn't like, it would turn to using the "qwerty.kcm.bin" as default, then I could use the backup to make it work again.
This is my first attempt of a sort of contribution to this great forum after
using it for years. Hope that others can use what I have learn't to make
their own settings. I have attached my original and edited settings files,
and a picture of the keyboard with scancodes.
I would be so happy if you could provide us with a swedish layout aswell as I am not so into programming!

Nice find, qsarklam!
Could you post some info which hex key is which character, and how to identify individual buttons in the hex editor?

I have exactly the same issue, need though the German layout. Can anyone from you help me with this?
I would also appreciate the Swedish layout so count me in that one aswell.
Thanks!!!
Spanish anyone?
Same issue, but in Spanish. The wireless Apple Spanish-ISO keyboard mostly works, even the Ñ, but some letters are not right and accented characters like áéíóú don't work. Also, the caps lock key LED doesn't light.
I tried using HexEditor on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab to edit the binaries but I can't figure out what maps to what so I'm stuck.
It's just so frustrating to have that nice keyboard sitting around. Would be a waste to have to buy and carry two keyboards, one for the iPhone and another one for the Tab.
To make matters more complicated, I like running the Galaxy Tab's Android UI in English, and I have a Mac so I can't run the suggested bin editors for Windows.
One would think that with the OS X being Unix-based and Android being Linux-based it should be as easy as copying a keyboard layout file from the Mac (or the iPhone) to the Tab, but it seems there is no such luck.

This thread is great! Anyone who has made a Swedish layout for the Apple Wireless Keyboard yet?
... I have attached my original and edited settings files,
and a picture of the keyboard with scancodes.

I've got one apple wireless keyboard also, and i'm remapping it. Does your Fn button works? How did you manage to find the scancodes from the F1, F2 ... keys?
Are you able pass the lockscreen with the keyboard? without touching the screen i mean.
For those who are not rooted or just don't want to mess with a hexeditor I've got an app that takes care of this and allready supports a lot of different layouts:

I installed the RenovateRom, which is really great. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202696
But since they Removed the "select input method" notification. I dont know how to change the keyboard, i wanna use the original jellybean keyboard.
can anyone help me how to change the keyboard ?
thanks in advance.
What about if you just go into settings, language and input or something like that, then keyboard. Select keyboard and I would think you would be good.
On most keyboards, if you hold down on one of the buttons such as "spacebar" or "123" or one of ones on the bottom row, it will give you pop up a box to select your keyboard. On the stock JB keyboard, you hold the space bar to get the pop up.
hi,
i tried both. no way to change the keyboard on HTC ONE with your hints.
very strange.
someone any other idea ?
You can download something called "input select method" from the play store. I love the renovate roms but can never understand why they remove the input method selector.
Anyhow, hope that helps.

Sorry to hear that. I have a Nexus 4 (my first Android) and I thought they are all the same.
same problem here.
for others who need a fast solution: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maddingtonspice.simtest
I have tried other keyboards and the stock keyboard it seems it varies on rom i use. Every word i type in text shows up underlined in red like its a typo but its obviously not seeing as i know how to spell words like fun and goodbye etc. Any advice from anyone how to fix this ?
Just wondering.... Can you check if your phone's defaults language "English"

Does anyone know how to delete DEFAULT words from the HTC Dictionary? I like the keyboard, but it enrages me beyond belief that 90% of the time I try and swipe or type "and" it auto types "abd". Who would EVER need to type abd, and why would you choose it over "and". I would rather not choose another keyboard because I like the OS integration of the default sense keyboard and its built in emojis but this is driving me nuts. I'm rooted, so is there a file I can edit?

Don't know if I understood correctly, but it seems "abd" is saved in your personal dictionary, if so go to SETTINGS -> Language & keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Personal dictionary -> press the 3-dot menu, press delete, and select the words you want to delete.
Or try turning off the auto correct option.

Stupid abd instead of and
I am having the same issue with the abd instead of and. Please let me know when someone knows how to fix this!
Dictionary rage continued. Go but...
Dear XDA Developers,
I have a number of frequently used English words missing form my HTC Sensation dictionary. The most common being "go" and "but".
I´ve tried to add them to the dictionary, but they aren´t predicted the next time and aren´t even available from the list of choices, even though other bizarre and mis-spelled words are.
I´ve tried everything. Resetting the dictionary. Syncing the phone with my personal dictionary. Adding them in all kinds of ways. I did finally have some sucess and managed to add "go"... however "but" is still not recognised. Any thoughts appreciated.
Many thanks,
John
Has anyone noticed that since HTC removed and replaced the phone pad and XT9 when you go to choose one single letter when typing then go to choose another single letter, it automatically adds a space in between the letters now?
Example: e y
I can't find a setting for auto spacing anywhere either. Do you think it's an error in the way they took it out then replaced it? I've never had this issue before the update.
I'm including an annotated screenshot of this page to help explain a little better what I mean.

Hey man, I am having the exact same issue as you... It's fine for people who use QWERTY keyboard as you select each individual letter yourself... Where as when you use the phone keypad you have to select them with the prediction, of course it then thinks you've entered a word and adds the space... If anyone knows a fix for this that'd be great!! I am even willing to try and edit the HTC_IME if someone can tell me where this setting might be stored.
I am also running into HTCs famous dictionary losing words like "am" "go" "in" etc... Yes it took me a hell of a long time to type this message on my phone...
