[Q] Keyboard in 4.3 - where have the extra suggestions gone? - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hi all,
Upgraded to 4.3 and on the keyboard, above the keys there is a strip of word suggestions. In 4.1.2, you could scroll that suggestion list. Can i get this back?
In 4.3 you cannot, so it is less powerful. They have however tried to add the windows 8 feature of guessing your next word.

Can I use the autocomplete on the device keyboard?

Hi folks,
I love original android system. I don't want to install any modified versions. My last G1 is a brick right now.
I know many of the modified version has autocomplete on the device keyboard just like it is on a virtual keyboard. I like the function since I am horrible at spelling.
Anyway, is there a way I can do that by just install some type of applications? Thx! I think it would be just an input method!
Thank you!
Actually, I meant when we type in "acc", there will be "accompany" or "accumulation" these types of options letting us choice to complete.
Which is the "Show Suggestion" function.
Smart Keyboard Pro has this I believe. It's $3 on the market and its dictionary includes our favorite 4-letter words if you catch my drift. Check it out.
htc ime keyboard has this,
It seems like a good idea, but from using it (With HTC IME), it really slows down typing. Slow enough to where you just get rid of it (at least the case is that with myself)

Anyone else love thr stock Froyo keyboard?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone else really liked the new stock IME included in Froyo.
I tried swype, SwiftKeys and the Htc IME, but I just keep coming back to the stock froyo keyboard.
With the new two rows of pop-up keys and the ease of switching languages, I find it to be the easiest to use. Definitely more intelligent than the iPhone keyboard.
Only problem I have when compared to typing on the iPhone is that it will miss keys if I type too fast, but all the ime I've tried do that. It's likely more of a touchscreen issue there.
Just curious if other people were enjoying it as well.
The one problem I have is the fact that it doesn't support the Canadian French keyboard layout. Typing in azerty is just terrible! Lots of bug reports in to Google on that point, but no movement yet.
if swype didn't cut it I really don't know what will, smart keyboard is really good and fast try it if you haven't already.
and to answer your question, I honestly loath it. but you see that's the beauty of android, if you don't like anything just change it lol.
I keep coming back to it also, does exactly what I want it too and is easy to use, used swype on my old windows mobile phone but see no need for it here. the text predicition means I rarely type near the full word.
In portrait mode I use swype, while in landscape mode I use the stock keyboard. Does anyone know any light half-qwerty keyboard for portrait use? I tried HTC_IME but it had that little bug that wouldn't register the word "IF". I wonder if it still exists in the latest version. Also is there an original HTC_IME lying around somewhere? I want something light and not as heavy as the modded one.
Tried Swype once.. not for me.
Been on stock ever since coz it's allright...
I can't get away from the HTC IME keyboard cause it has T9 standard keypad, and I'm just so much faster typing on that.
Tried Swype a while ago. But since FroYo I've been very happy with stock...Especially in landscape.

I like it. I use HTC ime too but I use stock alot. The reason you're more accurate on iPhone is probably because of its genius unseen system whereby it predicts the next letter you're going to type and resizes all of the keys' pressable areas based on the odds they will be selected. The greater the odds the bigger the pressing area. If the stock android KB implemented that it would be perfect. Thick keys is similar but not very good so I'm guessing there might not be a copyright issue. I know android indicated its awareness that the android kb needs a lot of work so maybe gingerbread will bring some enhancements...

[Q] I897UCKF1 problem with samsung keyboard XT9 in email

I flashed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 and I love the increased battery life. But, one problem I've noticed is that when I have the samsung keyboard XT9 selected and when I'm typing in an email for some reason the first character of the word gets dropped. (eg. type "the" it puts in "he"). Sometimes it will do it in my SMS messages but not all the time. Also, if I chose the Android keyboard it doesn't have that problem but then again it doesn't have the XT9 feature. I like the XT9 features and think it must have something to do with that. Has anyone else experience this and/or know how I can fix this?
Thanks, in advance for any help or direction that you can give me.
If I turn off the XT9 predictive text under samsung keyboard then I don't have the problem I checked and it's the 2.3.3 samsung keyboard. But, I like the XT9 predictive text feature and find it odd that it only happens under the email program. Is there a way that I can reinstall this .apk?
Try out this keyboard. Personally, it's one of my favorites.

Thanks, Born but I'm not really looking for another keyboard option. I would like to fix the stock keyboard that I already like and used
I wonder if it has something to do with the mail client? Anyone else have this problem? Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Is anyone else that has flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 (I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Fugu Root) had any problems using the stock samsung keyboard along with the XT9 advance features in the stock email client? Please confirm that it's working for you or not. That will at least help me determine if it's a bad/bug in the ROM or something that I did in flashing it. Thanks, to all who answer!
Custom rom and use samsung keyboard
How to use samsung keyboard on my custom rom ? o_0
HELP ME !>.<
i use ics2 rom
I think that was one of my major problems with KF1 too. That, and my touchscreen sensitivity was really poor.
I too like the Samsung keyboard, and don't like the newer versions though. I think the best version of the Samsung keyboard came out of KH3, or KI2. I've had problems with the newer versions with auto-captitalization not working correctly. I always have to backspace after ending a sentence with a period to get the first letter of the next sentence to capitalize. Also even if I have next word prediction unchecked, it still tries to predict quite often.
Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure it was KH3, because that's the only 2.3.4 that I have.

[Q] Help with Samsung Keyboard

Hello guys, thanks for reading this and help me. I hope you can point me in the right direction. Here is my situation: I've been maintaining a custom ROM named MasterStock, it basically takes the tweaks and improvements of another's guy ROM (chuckybean) but keeping the styling and apps of the standard stock rom. The goal is to have a nice and quick ROM with the same "skin" that comes from factory.
Now my issue comes with the Samsung keyboard, I manage to include it on my rom, and it works. But the autocomplete function does not work at all. It just does not suggest or corrects any word at all. I cannot understand what Im missing to include in my rom.
Anybody has any clue? Or can think in something I'm probably missing?
Before you reply something, I would like to please avoid messages saying there are better keyboards apps out there, and I know you probably can give me tons of alternatives to replace this keyboard. However my truly intention is to make this one to work, and give the users the ability to have a complete and functional ROM with the style of the stock version.
Many thanks in advance!!

I think there should be file with content for autocomplete. I can't remember what, and where it is. Probably /data/something. Do research, it is the same on every JB wirh TW I thing, so you can use expirience from SII, SIII users...

[Q] Do any Custom ROMs fix the hardware shift issues

The title says it all really. I'm still running stock, and find it's fine apart from the non-sticky shift key when using browsers. Do any of the Custom ROMs address this issue? I'm assuming that there isn't a fix for the stock ROM.
Cheers,
Steve.

The shift key functions normally on all the 4.2.2 ROMs I have tried. I found Eclipse to be hit and miss just like stock. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
shift key
the default software keyboard will mess with the hardware shift key, try using another one like jelly bean keyboard or hacker's keyboard.

It's all a bit frustrating. The shift key on the hardware keyboard works perfectly with SwiftKey on stock, but for me SwiftKey interferes with the keyboard function too much in other areas (such as automatically putting a space after a comma, which always catches me out, and showing suggestions).
TBH the 4.2.2 ROMS just look a tiny fraction away from being suitable as a daily driver for me - I use the lap dock, and that doesn't seem to be supported, as far as I could see.
If I could get SwiftKey to simply go into a "silent" mode with the hardware keyboard, then I'd be sorted. I don't want correction suggestions, or for it to try and mess with what I've physically typed, but although these suggestions have been made on their forum, it doesn't look like they are working to provide functionality like that - probably because there aren't many devices with a physical keyboard.
All the other keyboards I've tried (Swype, Jelly Bean, various "null" keyboards) all seem to suffer the shift key issue in browsers (the default keyboard seems to be intermittent, in that I've seen it working once or twice, but most of the time it seems to fail).
Cheers,
Steve.
