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?

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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".
Just flashed Gen Y D2 R4.3 A and when I go to the programs tab or any tab and hold down the scoll bar it starts to jump up and down continuously, has anyone got any ideas how I can fix this as it's really annoying.
Also how do I disable vibrating when I input text?
Regards.
Problem solved.
My Note has developed an infuriating fault which only happens in notepad apps, which is: I touch the screen in an notepad file and the QWERTY keyboard appears. All good. But when I start to type, although the cursor moves (sometimes to the right, often down a line or two or three first and then to the right) no text appears on screen. However, when I then exit the QWERTY keyboard, the text miraculously appears. This has only started recently and I'm very keen to get to the bottom of it. My notepad of choice is "Note Everything", but I've now duplicated the problem in two other notepad apps. Can anyone please offer any suggestions as to what might be going on here? Many thanks.
I've got a Sprint HTC One (M8) running BadSeed's stock rooted 1.54.651.8...
I have 2 issues with the keyboard:
1. For apps that want numeric input, the keypad has no decimal-point, just 0-9, back and enter.
I ran into this using the fuelly app, which is just a front-end for the website m.fuelly.com.
Maybe they're marking the field as wanting the wrong numeric type - I'm not sure, but it worked with my Evo 4g LTE.
2. So I installed an alternate keyboard app (smart keyboard), but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the input method anymore.
Long-press in an input field doesn't do it, and neither is there a keyboard icon in the statusbar while doing input as some have suggested.
Does anybody else have these problems, and if so, know any solutions?
Ah - found a workaround to #1...
Accidentally stumbled across the fact that when a keyboard is up, you can swipe the whole thing left or right to get alternate layouts. (Who knew?)
Still don't know how to switch to a 3rd-party keyboard though, but for now I no longer need to.
Hi
i love this Google Lollipop Keyboard, and i use it long time. (Link)
but i have the problem that if i use it with my S-Pen from my Note4, it doubles the keys.
If i hover away with the S-Pen from a Letter like "a" it types again a "a".
So the first "a" on press and second "a" on hover away that makes it imposible to type with the S-Pen on the Keyboard.
Is there a way to disable this "hovering" ?
Is anyone also using the Google Lollipop Keyboard and have not this problem ?
