One of the features I use a LOT on my G1 is filtering lists. Just one example is in the contacts. I can start typing on the physical keyboard and the list shrinks as I do so.
Does the N1 also support this? If so, how? And also, if so, could someone post a video?
Thanks.
It supports this with the installed dialer called dial one. Works excellent.
Filtering lists on the Nexus One
Thanks for the reply.
Does the type-and-find operation work in the music player? On phones with a physical keyboard, you can start typing the name of an artist (when the artist list is showing) and it reduces down to artists that match the letters as you type them. Is this possible on the Nexus One?
I think I have the answer
I think the answer is a big fat yes. According to this post: Android ListActivity ArrayAdapter filtering with no physical keyboard, Nexus One users can long-press the menu button to bring up the on-screen keyboard and then filtering works as it does on devices with a physical keyboard.
I am glad to hear this. It means that my reservations about getting an N1 are lessened and that the app I am working on will be as useful on the latest technology as it is on the real-keyboard models.
So I have a Samsung Vibrant GT-i9000m from Bell Canada with the FFC. Some how I no long have the Android Keyboard in my list of input method's (long pres on text input field) or in settings -> Locale and Text -> Select Input Method -> Swype or Samsung Keypad (only). My phone is unlocked (i bought the unlock code form Bell directly) and I used the one click lag fix for rooting the phone. I'm unsure when I lost the Android keyboard but I know for a fact I never deleted or uninstalled it. I can only assume that the bell unlock code or the one click lag fix rooting app are the cause of the missing input method.
Does anyone know where I can download the Android Keyboard? I've searched a bit but Android Keyboard give a vast variety of results even on the app brain and market.
Many thanks in advance for any answers!
Swype or Samsung Keypad
that is correct
those are the default input methods, you can always install more if you want
like the HTC keyboard or the Moto Droid keyboard, or many other available out there
but of them all i prefer the swype keyboard better
I recall having a 3rd option "Android Keyboard". It has a mic icon in the bottom left corner i assume for speech to text. Kinda like the Iphones voice search that's what I'm looking for. Yes I strongly agree Swype is better but when I'm driving I wouldn't mind some speech to text or voice search.
I did find on forum.xda-developers .com under thread 709519 but its 114mb kinda big for a keyboard. (cant post URL)
I might be wrong and never seen the Android Keyboard option but I know I have seen screen shots of other peoples Vibrants with this 3rd option that I assumed was stock to android 2.1.
Even my google search widget doesn't have the mic icon for voice search.
vLingo it comes as part of the phone
you need to install it in Samsung Apps
it's free
it does voice control and voice dictation
needs some minor training, it can handle accents
OMG I had it all along and never tried the vLingo keyboard. Thanks so much! YOU DA MAN.
I just bought my Galaxy Tab yesterday, and it's pretty awesome. I also bought the keyboard dock, and it's excellent except for one super annoying problem: If you hit space while holding shift, it changes the language. In my case, it doesn't do anything (Just says ENGLISH on the screen), but it's really annoying to have that pop up every time I type a sentence with caps or punctuation in it.
For example: Typing "WOW! THIS IS AWESOME!" would be easy. You just hold shift while typing the whole sentence. On the tab, at every space it acts as though I have pressed the Lang key on the keyboard. This only happens with the hardware keyboard.
I did some mucking around in system files (/system/usr/keylayout/), and noticed p1_keyboard.kl, but only the actual Lang key is mapped to LANG. When I commented that line out, my Lang key was disabled, but the Space+Shift still "worked" and popped "English" up on my screen. The Freedom Pro drivers have an option to disable shift+space, but the regular samsung keyboard does not. Any idea how to get rid of this incredibly annoying behavior?
Edit: I just noticed that this "feature" is documented in the manual. No way to disable it is mentioned.
Just a quick update: I've contacted Samsung Support via twitter, but they didn't have a galaxy tab available with a keyboard dock. Seriously. Samsung Support didn't have a galaxy tab with external keyboard to even test the issue. I'm trying e-mail next. Frankly, having shift+space change the language when there is a language button RIGHT NEXT TO THE SPACEBAR is insane.
I think I have to make my own solution to this one. Of course, I can't post in the developers section yet, so I can't really ask for help there either. I'm fairly certain that the solution isn't /system/usr/keylayout/p1_keyboard.kl because, while there is a LANG button mapped, disabling it merely disables the actual LANG button on the keyboard. Shift + Space continues to switch the language.
This is literally making me not use the keyboard, because if I type "I", and hold shift a bit too long, ENGLISH shows up on my screen. If I'm typing a sentence with lots of caps or acronyms, ENGLISH is on the screen pretty much the entire time because I'm holding shift. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Did you by chance get any answers to this issue? I am having the same issue and it's driving me nuts. Almost every sentence that I write I have to backspace and start over.
Hey everyone, I came across this post while searching for a way to disable the SHIFT+SPACE keyboard shortcut (Stupid!).
So, while it's default in Samsung Keyboard, other keyboards allow other options. I installed "Google keyboard", and now everything works great, and I don't have the annoying popup everytime I hold shift too long before a space!
Hello, I'm resurrecting this thread because shift space is still an issue in Samsung Keyboard. Gboard (what Google Keyboard is called now) solved this problem for me, too. -- Ronald Althenn, former Samsung call center analyst
I've installed GBoard, but Samsung Keyboard shortcuts still work. When I look at keyboard setting for my physical keyboard, I can see that both keyboard layouts (GBoard & Samsung) are present. I can't seem to find a way to force my device (Note 8) to only use GBoard layout.
Thoughts?
Sorry for the late reply. I dropped my phone recently and started having that same issue. Even with gboard installed, I am never going to need to change my language using shift space, ever, and yet even when I'm using sidesync just so I can see my screen, English pops up all the time and eats up my space. I am trying to find other ways of fixing this. I will post again soon.
---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------
Okay, I think I've got it. When there is an external keyboard attached in sidesync, you must use the Select Keyboard notification and choose Gboard. This is where the proper command hooks get installed. Shift space comes out as a space when I type using gboard. If you have a "Select External Keyboard" notification, don't change it there, because shift space still popped up English for me until I used the first notification.
This is insanely complicated, I know. I wish I was a Samsung dev; I'd submit a change to fix that. I'll have a job soon, I hope.

This issue is now more annoying than ever thanks to DeX forcing you to use the Samsung Keyboard.
You can manually disable the Samsung Keyboard via ADB, but doing so results in either:
* phone screen waking/blurring whenever clicking into a type field in DeX
* DeX hard crashing and requiring a wipe of app data via ADB if you try to force the on-screen keyboard in DeX from "phone" to "monitor" while Samsung Keyboard is disabled
Keep reporting this crap to Samsung until they at the very least add a simple toggle to disable the shift-space "feature."
OMG I HATE this stupid thing!!!!!!!!!! so much, I don't understand, if ctrl+space is switching lang already, wtf do you put something like shift (very common)! I HATE this so much to the degree I might retrun the whole thing
Finally they've changed that stupid thing. Now you can go Settings->General Management->Language and Input->Physical keyboard->Change language shortcut
Using a bluetooth keyboard with my S10+. I disabled the toggle you mention here, but shift+space still does nothing (literally nothing too, it doesn't say "English" or anything like that on screen when I push it).
My primary touch keyboard is G-Board as well.
I miss the auto word suggestion / correction from the on screen keyboards. Any apps / software that you guys know of that will either give me suggestions while I type on the physical bluetooth keyboard? Or possibly something that underlines misspelled words and allows me to correct them, similar to most word processors?
Thanks!
Hi all,
something that is driving me crazy...
I recently bought a Kia Seltos.
My mobile device is Galaxy S9+
I'm using Waze with my native language - Hebrew (interface and street names)
My phone's language is in English.
I can't perform a voice search in Hebrew in Waze.
I saw other people with my Type of vehicle and setup:
Whenever they press on the steering wheel "voice command" button, and perform a search in Hebrew - it finds the address they were looking for.
When I press the button to search - assistant performs the search in English and doesn't recognize what I asked.
I tried and modified all kind of settings including google settings related to language and voice and nothing helped.
anyone encountered it or can assist?
Thanks!
Different Language - Same problem!
Google Assistant is not supporting my native language, while using it on the mobile device works great.
Did you manage to fix this issue?
It worked fine for me till last week.
I fixed it before but i cant remember or find what fixed it before.
Nope, still searching for a solution
