When typing annoying.

When I type something on my text messages there is a screw up.
EX: If I text "i am going to store" and i dont hit space after store it sends the message but keeps the "store" in the message and if i hit send it will send "store" again by itself... I have to hit space since it recommends something and unless i hit the word it wont go away...
any suggestions?

Adding puntuation afterwards should clear it up, or tapping on the word, or maybe even hitting enter (although I don't know if that works!)

Thanks for the advice.
When I want to text and its quick I dont always use proper punctuation.
I really hope this windows device works out :/

If this is what I think it is, bring up one of the HTC keyboards and turn the switch on the ABC/T9 button onto ABC. That should disable it.
Yes, it is the most idiotic typing "aid" ever invented.

Turned off auto complete and auto suggest and still doesnt work!!! Did a soft reset! This is so stupid!
I will try the T9 thing.

T9 WORKED!!!
thank heaven!!
thanks allot guys

this has been driving me mad. i tried turning off word completion etc and that didnt help but this seems to have, thanks

yes it definitely fixed it for me. Great that was driving me mad.

Yes Kill xT9 Or Hit a Space at the end of every text.

Turning off T9 did not help at all. I still get the black line at the bottom of the screen. The f*#$%#% thing still wants to suggest some very useful words for me! Any other ideas?

Did you follow the steps?
When you start typing a new sms bring out the virtual onscreen keyboard, press the arrow and choose Full QWERTY. In full QWERTY mode you should have a little button on the bottom left of the screen with "ABC T9" written on it. Press it and let the magic work.
Now press fn + Space and a menu appears. Check that it is indeed in ABC mode. If you want to be on the safe side go also into "T9 Settings" (on that menu) and kill (untick) everything. Or at least that's what I did.

Excellent, thanks. The black bottom bar from SMS editing was very annoying. Now it's gone, thanks.
New SMS message, FN+ Space and then check ABC.

Thx!
Thx! You were right. In fact FN + Space then choosing ABC instead of English really does work. That #$%#$% annoying black thing disappeared! Thx!

Knew I'd find the answer to my problem here on XDA-devs! Just did a HR and somehow the ABC/T9 slider got into the T9 setting, causing all types of problems when typing. Thanks for the tip and now I'll know for next time!!!

i would actually like that, how do i get my phone to do that? i can make it happed when i switch from ABC to T9, but after sometime it switches back to ABS

How to get rid of "word completion" in SMS ?

I thought I turned all T9 and word completion off everywhere I found, but still when writing SMS I see this bar at bottom of the screen echoing my typing. It also has + sign on right.
So this is T9 right? How the hell do I get rid of it?

Hi Taajuus,
I have a 'T9' printed on the SPACE key of the slide out keyboard, you can reach through the 'FN' key.
So in SMS typing mode with the slide out Keyboard, press FN - Space, a pop up menu appears where you can configure T9 settings.
Hope that helps
T.

There should be a slider on the actual on-screen keyboard itself to deselect T9. Give that a shot.

Yes! That did the trick, thank you!
Still there was no option to simple tick off T9, but i chose ABC and my problem was solved

Brilliant this has been annoying me too... as usual a simple answer to the most annoying problems...

[REQ] Creating a Control Key for Fuze layout

On my tilt i used to have a nice exe on startup that would replace my windows key with the control key.
Now im looking for somthing like that to possibly replace the OK key all the way on the bottom left corner.
Any Ideas of any App or way i could do this??
-----------------------------------------------------
Here is the link to the exe i used on my tilt:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=121594&d=1223982517

I would find this interesting also. I've tried using MagicKB Lite for this but haven't been able to so far, although (so long as I also used the free Hook.mgr) I was able to make other symbols easily accessible on the Keyboard.
Personally, I'd rather use the CAPS key for this. Since we can press shift twice for caps lock having a CAPS key seems pretty silly.

Yes, that would be my choice as well.

i think the caps would make a better "TAB" key, at least on the fuze. I think i could deal with the OK button being remapped to Control (in the same spot as a normal keyboard, and then the caps key being remapped to TAB. Would love to figure this out.

Have you made any headway on remapping OK -> Ctrl and CAPS -> Tab? I've tried a utilitity that looked promising (http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php) but haven't been able to crack the egg.

Solution!
This thread shows up pretty high in google results so I wanted to document the solution in case somebody else is looking for it.
Tarkim created an app specifically for the Raphael (Fuze, Touch Pro) which lets you re-map just about anything. It works very well for me.

Multitouch Keyboard

Are there any multi touch keyboard apps or can this even be done?

Despite what you may have heard, multi-touch IS available on Android 2.x out of the box. It is just turned off on built-in apps in the US and this includes the keyboard, Maps, Gmail, Browser, etc. There are two ways to get a multi-touch keyboard. Either someone develops one (if it hasn't already been done, I've never checked) or we way for a ROM to be developed and have the dev enable MT in the ROM, as well as the keyboard.

I'm starting to see a bunch of multi touch apps in the market mainly drawing apps and there are a bunch of gallery apps too. Multi touch keyboard is needed very badly I hope we can get one soon.

Technically, the keyboard is already multitouch. You can see this by holding down a key and pressing another key. The instant you press the second key, it triggers the first. You can compare this behavior with the pre-2.0 behavior where it would simply act like you had a single finger on the key in the middle of your two fingers. It might not quite be as nice as the iPhone's implementation(you can't hold down shift and press a letter), but it is multitouch.

Smart Keyboard is supposedly multi-touch, but it's a rather infant app...

The stock Android Keyboard is multitouch enabled. I don't get why people think it's not. It only shows the large letter under the first finger, but that's by design... let me explain:
Press 'A' with your left thumb, then 'P' with your right. You'll only see the large 'A' under your thumb, and 'P' will look unpressed. If you release 'A' now, however, it will be typed, and the large 'P' will now appear under your right thumb. But if you release 'P' under your right thumb first, it won't be typed if you're still holding 'A'. The reason is, if you press one key, and then press and release a second so quickly that you still haven't released the first, then this is probably not an intentional tap of a letter, but an accidental brush of the screen, and it is ignored. Letters are always typed in the order you touched them, otherwise typing would be much harder at high speed. The second touch is recognized, but you don't see it until you release the first touch, because if you release the second touch before the first, it will be ignored. So type at high speed, with two thumbs at a time, and the keyboard will 'just work' and keep up. Trust me.

the dolphin browser lets you use the iphone zooming method. european N1's will have this ability anyways (I guess) since its not protected by a patent (illegal to patent such a development).

Right, but that leaves you with no ability to say, hold down **** and push a letter to capitalize. What people want is for both keys to register when you are holding two keys down, in the order that you pressed them.

Why do you need to hold down shift? Taping shift once does the same thing as holding ****, think of it was "sticky keys" if you're from a windows machine. Theres never a need to hold the shift button. Double tap it for capslock if you really need caps

I agree with this guy. I don't know what the other guy is talking about. The letters don't queue. I have trouble typing fast because every other letter doesn't register.
so silly to have disabled such a useful funtion, only to most likely enable it at a later date, or at least we would hope.

How do I get my keyboard to behave the way it normally did...?

I have a Windows compatible usb keyboard that I use with a cable/cord that allows it to be used on my Android phone.
It worked alright for a while this way but now, the shift and caps lock doesn't capitalize letters the way I'm used to (and the way it did before)(when I press shift key down while holding a letter, the letter doesn't become capitalized and doesn't doesn't always keep capitalizing letters (even though I didn't turn off caps lock)). I have to press the shift key quickly and then press a letter instead of holding shift key down.
I haven't used the keyboard much or often.

I cannot know that by heart. It's probably somewhere under "input". Every phone is different.
