Hi guys. Long time lurker here, first time poster - So before I get in to it I'll just take this opportunity to thank you guys for the countless times you contributing members have saved my ass, provided useful advice or applications - XDA-Developers rocks.
Secondly, I apologise if this issue has been covered, but I searched through the forums, googled 'n' whatnot, and got no love.
Okay - The problem I'm having is with input lag - Whenever I try to type anything on the hardware keyboard, there is an SIP running, suggesting words & alterations, and this SIP is massively slow - I can type out about 15 words before it finishes accepting the input for the first one. Am I the only one having this trouble?
I believe it's an issue with the "Full QWERTY" SIP installed by default on the device, but I can't seem to change the SIP to another option - it changes itself back automatically whenever the keyboard is used. I can't find a way to remove a factory installed SIP without flashing the ROM (Which I don't really want to do right now..) and I've tried SIPChange and another similar piece of software to no gain. I've disabled all suggestions and corrections, and this makes negligable difference to the speed of input.
So, if anyone is able to help me either remove the SIP - My preferred option - or simply stop it being so damned slow, my thanks in advance.
Did you change from t9 to abc in the on screen keyboard? There will be a slider from t9 to ABC. Then go and disable all the spell checks and word completion in the settings. That worked for me.
I appreciate the quick Response, Raspster, but I've already done that. It did remove one of the issues - that annoying grey bar - but the keyboard input is still way slower than it should be. My old TyTN was much faster.
Potential fix
Hi guys, try this seemed to work for me kb much faster on text input only for main body of message though, not for contact selection. Using a reg editor navigate to HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd then find value key InitialDelay and change to 0 or any smaller value. Mine set to 0 so keyboard responds almost instantly. naturally a soft reset is required. cheers
How did you get the annoying grey box to disappear? I think I have unchecked all the right things, but it is still there.
Thanks for your help
Steve
Sorry about the delayed reply, Steve. To get rid of the grey box, all I did was open up the on-screen "Full QWERTY" keyboard, and there is a selection button for T9/ABC. Slide it to ABC, and the annoying T9 box is gone. :]

Every time I type sms, my TP auto corrects and forces me to use words from its dictionary, instead of my intended word. Then it won't let me change its word. I have tried to turn off auto-correct and set suggested words to 0, but no luck. Please someone tell me how to stop this.
are u sure T9 is not selected?
I have same problem. With sms messages the word correction screws up my messages. I turned off the suggest words option under advanced config...but doesn't help the sms/mms messaging helper. Haven't tried registry hacks...might have to explore the registry a bit...

Yes I am sure it is not selected. I am using slide-out keyboard anyway, but am sure T9 is not selected. Please someone must have come up with some way to stop this [email protected]@@@ing thing from changing all my words.
There should be T9 as a secondary function on one of the buttons on the slide out keyboard. For the FUZE it is Fn+right arrow. It brings up a menu to choose ABC or T9.
turning off word completion in either t9 or keyboard mode doesn't matter. The word completion still comes up. Doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off!
Try This. this should do the trick... hopefully!

I have disable word correction using the Advanced confing App 3.3
The Advanced Config. 3.3 application has been a great tool for me so far and allows for many customizations. I am using a Touch Pro and it was able to stop word correction on my device. If you are going to install Advanced Config tool, you will need to install Microsoft .Net compact framework 3.5 first. Hope this is helpful.
Anyone using the NATF fix? A few questions:
1. Does it solve the forced changing of words?
2. Does it stop all corrections such as auto capitalizing of 1st word in sentence? - (which I like)
3. Any side effects of using this program?
I like people like NATF that solve problems. Kind of a hero.
Krizza, I also use AC3.3. Under INPUT I changed suggested words to 0 (default). This didn't seem to do anything for sms. Is there another setting somewhere?
maybe it isn't Advanced Config......

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I just assumed that it was AC3.3 that was stopping the "suggest words" function. I have mine set to 0 (default) as well. My Touch Pro no longer suggests words when I'm texting, but I just checked out ,my phone and I have also adjusted START > SETTINGS > INPUT > WORD COMPLETION then I have unchecked the box that says "suggest words when entering text"......maybe that is what has been working for me all along.....hehehe
Krizza, I've had that un-checked all along. However the problem seems to have fixed itself when I reselected 0 (default) in AC3.3 then soft reset. It wasn't instant though, it seemed to correct after a few days. odd.
Is there any way to totally disable the on-screen keyboards? They come up by default in some programs and they are annoying as ... especially if you have a hardware keyboard.
get nullkb
and sipchange
and make nullkb default
Somebody with a more solid answer will probably be along shortly. I don't believe you can actually remove ALL the SIPs, but I DO believe you can keep the keyboard from ever popping up by default (although I believe a few individual programs will still pop it up).
edit: or somebody with a better answer will be along before I actually hit "post."
I had the same problem when my wireless keyboard stopped working and somehow that on screen keyboard appeared. I posted here and a MS person helped me. Spend some time in Ease of Access and you'll find out how to turn it off.
I have an HTC Opal flashed with pdaviet's 6.5 Rom. I have alot of problems but I'll start with this one. Unlike everyone else on this forum, I like the black bar with the suggestions, but I lost it somehow and no matter how I try to get it back, I can't. I checked to be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 1. I have enabled completion on the options. My option selection does not let me choose how many words to suggest or how many letters to input before suggestions appear. It also doesn't allow me to put a space after a word automatically. These are the issues I was trying to fix when instead I lost the auto completion bar and function completely. Please help.
Posted this in HD2 general, might not have been the right section as no-one seems to be paying any attention, and I really want to sort this!
May be a stupid question, I've searched my phone and the net and couldn't find anything, though I'm not sure what I should be searching for anyway.
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to disable the box of words that pops up when typing something, trying to predict what you might be trying to say.
I'm sure it's only been showing up recently, possibly since I installed an application or something, as I don't remember it being there when I first got the phone, otherwise I would have asked this question by now.
I've attached an example of what I'm talking about.
I've tried going into Text Input Settings and enabling / disabling Spell Correction, Word Completion (XT9) and Word Complection (ABC) (all off at the moment) but it doesn't seem to make any difference, and it's really bugging me!
Any help would be really appreciated!
disabling those options and resetting the device does the trick for me.....
btw what kind of keyboard are you using there?
also you have an "options" when selecting the keyboard input, in that opting menu you need to disable them there too.
I've tried a number of different combinations of settings and resetting the phone in between, just doesn't seem to pay attention to the settings.
Also think there's something weird going on as the XT9 and ABC doesn't make any difference when using the normal keyboards, it no longer has the XT9 style text prediction instead of this blocky word suggestion. Though I don't care about the missing XT9 mode, I just want to hide this.
Also, I'm using Swype keyboard, which was installed after this happened in the hope it would hide the word suggestion, but no such luck
Anyone? Anything?
Really want to sort this, but need assistance!
Try going to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip. If you have the key 'suggwords', change it from 4 to 0. You may need to soft reset. There are many other settings that can be tweaked in there as well. You could just change 4 to 2, so the suggestion panel doesn't take up as much real estate. Still, it will occasionally obscure a control, which is annoying.
Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted.
I knew someone would know!
Many thanks.
Hi all, been lurking for a while but thought I would finally post up.
Having an issue with my Nexus S on stock ROM v2.3.3. It isn't the same issues with the keyboard disappearing etc but it is an issue with the keyboard not inputting text when I type.
If I am typing a SMS reply to someone on my phone and I pause for a few seconds (to talk to someone for example) then I try to continue typing, the keyboard acts like its typing but does not actually type anything else into the message. The only fix I have managed to discover is exit the SMS so that a draft gets saved then once I go back into the message it works again.
Don't know if that is a clear enough description but if anyone else has any suggestions or even a fix for it then it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Yeah I have that too sometimes. What also happens to me about every week is, that the smiley sections' and the (particularly important for me since I'm from Austria and using the German keyboard ü-ö-ä) special buttons and symbols' pop up extension (hard to describe, but I mean the thing that pops up when you put your finger on the expandable tile for like 2 second and which let's you select the unusual symbols from a list) simply will not pop up. So it would make it impossible for me to choose from the pre-created smileys etc.
I have found out that changing your input method to another keyboard (I use SwiftKey in these cases) and then changing it back Android keyboard make the problems disappear. But they seem to come back regularly and I haven't found out what causes them to appear...
Any help?
