Running stock OTA jellybean, (without device wipe) (rooted). Don't know when this happened, but my phone corrects my words automatically when I type using the physical keyboard. For instance, every time I type "lol" it auto-changes it to "AOL". I even went into the "Language & input" settings, and disabled the "auto-replace" setting under Physical Keyboard. Then rebooted the phone.
And it STILL autocorrects my typing! I dont mine it underlining misspelled words, but I certainly don't want it assuming what I type. That's the whole point of the physical keyboard. I want what I type.
Any suggestions here?

No, I didn't realize that the Andorid Keyboard settings affected the physical keyboard . It looks like it worked! Thanks!

Even am facing the same issue!!!
On ICS, I had an option wherein the Auto-Correct used to work for the Onscreen typing whereas it used to leave it on me what am typing when using the Physical Keypad.
Disabling the Auto Correct, as the screenshot shows, will disable to Auto-Correct for OnScreen typing too, which I don't want! Can't I control Auto-Correct for each of them separately like I could on ICS??

I thought that too, but I did the option as in the screenshot, and my on screen keyboard still shows suggestions, buts doesn't auto correct. Try it, and see if that is what you need.
For me, I hate auto correct. Im ok with suggestions, but dont auto change things for me, so this fix is exactly what I needed.
This is an easy fix. I had the same issue. There are two steps.
Go into settings, Language & Input and uncheck auto-correct. (I assume you already did this.)
Next, in the Language & Input menu, scroll to Android Keyboard (AOSP) and click the gear icon. Scroll down and there is and option to disable Auto replace. Uncheck that.
Disabling both of those fixed it for me.

Thanks for making this thread. I just upgraded my ROM and had the exact same problem. It sucks that it removes the autocorrect for touchscreen typing too. The fact that these are no longer separate makes me sad. Death of QWERTY. I'm going to cry when I have to get a touchscreen only phone

I agree! Why in the world would you have 'physical keyboard' broken out with its own settings and then not actually respect those separate settings?! And otherwise why would you NOT have separate settings/parameters for separate keyboards on the phone? Like the OP says, this is the POINT of a physical keyboard; I want you to type WHAT I type, not what you THINK I should type.
Anyway... thanks, guys, for the info here.

I found a keyboard on the market called thumb keyboard and its awesome. Everyone should give it a try
Yep it's a great keyboard, I've been using it since day two. The right spacebar I have to make sure I press harder to get it to register otherwise its great with great support. They seem to update it often.
Will check it out.
It works great with the gtab the free version not so much but the pay version has a tablet layout that its awesome.

Looks great. Thank you.
Problem is that I can't get it to activate.
How did you get it to replace the stock kb?
In settings it won't check off after the warning box...??
I rebooted but the same results.
what rom are you running?
Runing 1.1 3389 the latest stock update.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks
i believe you have to be running a custom rom to change keyboards on it. but do not hold me to that statement

You can do it in TnT but it takes a couple tricks. The TnT settings app won't let you enable the keyboard so you need to switch to the stock Android style settings app. Then enable the keyboard. Once done you need to put back your stock TnT settings app or you will have problems with other things.
Here is a link to the files required.

Thank you for the link.
I will read up on this as I would loveto get this going.
Just wanted to say I have been following this developers project since day one. I highly recommend this keyboard. He updates and fixes issues quickly. Worth the $1.33. I use it as the default on my tab. Check it out if you haven't.

In a text box long press. It will popup with input method. Then you should see it.
Be sure to activate it in Settings/Language & Keyboard/ by checking it. i had to do this before changing it in the input method.
Does anyone else notice that thumb keyboard gets stuck in All Caps with no way to get out unless you close/re-open the keyboard? Hitting the shift key after it is in All Caps does nothing.

I know I usually have to hit the caps key twice when wanting caps lock off. Just see if hitting it a couple times does the trick. Otherwise I've never really had a problem.

I had doubts that a keyboard could make such a difference but I was clearly way off... great find...
Grab it before the offer expires. No need to comment.

If you downloaded it and it did not work, try again. I had the wrong file uploaded.
how to install?
Just like any other apk. Then enable it in settings.

You might not be familiar with the concept of how to use it. There is a tutorial on on that. I have not had any problems.
EDIT: Actually, there is a problem. When I search in the market using this keyboard it occupies the entire screen and I can't see what I'm typing

It seems like it doesn't interpret fields correctly. Typing a document is no problem (QuickOffice HD). Maybe it's best to switch to the android keyboard for that anyway since it will only be a few words to type.
EDIT: After playing with it for a few days I am disappointed. In landscape mode the entire screen is filled with an empty field and I can't see what I'm typing. It's only useful in portrait mode, really Nice concept but definitely needs more work! Maybe even make the entire keyboard smaller in landscape so you don't have to slide so much. Just my 2cents.
I have tried to change the text from white to black so it shows in the field, but i have had no luck. If anyone wants to take a crack at, be my guest. It would be sweet. Right now this keyboard is only useful on the web.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
for some reason slide-it keyboard started having a similar problem after the last update. While in landscape the text would be white on a white background and thus for all intents and purposes, invisible.
in slide-it though you can now disable full screen in landscape and enter text directly into your intended field instead of a white window.
Anyway I wonder if this has something to do with honeycomb or why it happened to both these keyboards at the same time? hmm

Deffo SwiftKey 4 with flow, it doesn't lag with the revolutionmod messaging app and the predictions are spot on. Also, flow works really well and it's really fast. I don't use flow alot but it's a nice feature to have to show off what Android can do when compared to iOS. I recommend SwiftKey, it's the number 1 paid app on Google Play for a reason: it's amazing.

Just bought SwiftKey and it worth the money lol. But that "select input" notification every single time I use the keyboard its annoying! And even the most is knowing that it won't go away because its a system thing. -__-''

I don't get a select input notification every time I use it ? just the first time I reinstall it after I've flashed a new rom .Have you set it as your default keyboard ? (I know it's a daft question lol )

Well, I've searched everywhere for any "solution" of this, and as far as I know it's system notification. In last versions we had to press on the input and then we selected which keyboard we wanted to use, in this version of Android supposedly its the way to change the keyboard we want. Yes its setted up as default keyboard. Swiftkey says its nothing with them, it's a Android System thing, so nothing to do.. lol

It's still really strange because I don't have this issue ? Maybe some of the other swiftkey users can chip in with their experiences ?

The same thing used to happen to me when I was using greenify, don't close the app with a task manager or anything else...keep it on ignore list. By the way, you should've tried the apk from the internet .
I'm typing this response on my phone and there is a keyboard notification in my notification bar. It does say select keyboard. Maybe the reason that it shows up in the notification bar is because you have a choice on what keyboard to choose.

Well, it depends on the Android version you're with. I'm with the original one without any ROM, so its the 4.0. If you're using any ROM with any different Android version, it might be because of that you wont get the notification...
Under Language & Keyboards I have a Swype option but I don’t see how to activate it. There is also HTC Sense input option that has a Trace keyboard option in it. That works but I thought they were two different applications. Did HTC just license Swype this time around?
Anyone?
The trace function acts similarly to swype but they are two different things.
I've used both but I find that the stock KB with trace activated works fine for me.

You can turn it on. Just go to any email / text and when the normal keyboard pops up, swipe down your notification on top and click on the Keyboard icon to change to Swype.
Quirky way of enabling it indeed

Exactly my thoughts too.
Anyone know how? I really hate it when android tries to auto correct a certain word to "ducking" every time
Add the word to dictionary it works for me.
Yes just tap it twice when it shows in the prediction box, first tap bypasses the spellchecker, second tap saves it to the dictionary (it gives a prompt beside it that says "tap again to save")
Sent from my Xposed G2
It's already added to the dictionary, problem is android insists on defaulting to "ducking" using predictive text, so I have to spell the whole word out to get it to stop. On top of that, I dont always spell the word correctly anyway, I may actually hit "d" and begin typing, which means it will always predict "ducking" as the word. Since I will never use the word "ducking" for anything in my life, I dont need it to EVER try to autocorrect or predict to that.
When I type a certain word and the lg keyboard change it to ducking I just hit backspace then space and the word I originally typed in reappears. Next time I try use the original word it works, I.e. doesn't get changed to ducking.

Another thing you might try, depending on the keyboard you are using, is that sometimes in the Language & Input settings, or in the keyboard settings, there is an option to "Block offensive words". Try looking for that and unchecking it if you find it.

That option is for the Google voice keyboard. It converts spoken offensive words to **** unless you turn it off.

I think I do remember seeing that before, but I also know that the Android Keyboard (from AOSP roms or from the Play Store) has that option too. However, seeing as I don't know what keyboard the OP uses, I was generalizing that there *could* be that option. Not sure if there is or not. But mine has the option.
