I'm not sure if this has been discussed or solved before... Anyway, I've tried searching and I couldn't find any guide on how to remove the arrows on our keyboard.
If you have done so, kindly post the guide on how to do this...
thanks in advance...
i like the arrows(incase of mistakes or wanting to add something somwhere) but if it would free up some space to have bigger keys that wouldnt be to bad
I would actually like this as well if somehow the keys were to get larger or more spaced out.
me too..
i hate the htc sens / keyboard even with sens.cab...
i have tried every other keyboard beside of swype - no german.cab... -
and all are even worse than the htc keyboard.
So I found this out by accident and wanted to share. I don't know whether this was a feature on 2.1 as I've always used HTC_IME but here goes.
On the main keyboard drag your thumb up from the letters to above the preview bar and a whole row of letters and punctuation appears under your thumb. You don't have to hit the ?123 button anymore as a quick swipe up above the keyboard accomplishes the same thing.
This by no means gives me enough reason to move away from the HTC_IME but it's kinda neat.
I heart Froyo.

You can do that on HTC_IME also. I'm in CM 5.0.7 test3 and works perfectly.
How? Where in HTC_IME can you get two additional rows?
HTC IME already lets you long press letters to get additional keys, I consider this far better because I can see them already and just have to press for a short while (customizable length in the HTC IME mod)
Awesome! Didn't know about that. Thanks

Oh nice. Never tried that before so I wouldn't know if it's new to froyo or not.
However, I used to closed the keyboard by swiping down, and I find it extremely difficult to do in FroYo, I don't know what's wrong :-/

I'm not saying HTC_IME is worse. In fact I very much like it. The only feature of stock keyboard I like is the way you change languages if you have selected multiple dictionaries.
That's awesome ! FroYo really made Touch Input usable for me.
Thanks a lot for the tip.
Also did you all notice the tab key when inputting fields. Saves a lot of time.
it's a neat feature, but i don't think it's any faster than long pressing a key. overall i still think google should make HTC_IME standard
Also on smart and better kb
Cool, thanks. I had never noticed that. Kind of like all the cool features there are on Swype that I just found accidentally.
I'm really happy with this latest version of the stock Android keyboard - it has multitouch! I was wondering why typing was suddenly way more accurate. The punctuation input is also a clever idea.

What? Where did you get that keyboard from?
Cool, I didn't know this.
I also like in Froyo (wasn't there before), after you hit the space bar after a word, punctuation shows up where the suggested words would be.
The stock keyboard has had multitouch since 2.1, it's not true multitouch like the iPhone but you can press two keys and it'll pick them both up. It's only when they're close together that it might mess up because it could think you're sliding but that's just the crappy touch screen. I really wish HTC didn't cheap out with the touch screen..
Hi all,
I'm sorta new to the Android scene and just got my Note the other day. I've done some searching but couldn't find a keyboard addon out there that has a static row of number keys on top of the qwerty, like the one that JB iOS offer. All I found have to either hold or flick to get the numbers. Any suggestion?
Thx!

Hey i just got my new note 10,1
When i saw it had the posibility to chsnge the keyboard to a 2 part i was very happy...
But when i use that keyboard it dosent work right...
Example when i press the M key i got C insted and so on.. some keys is correct, but i can't find the solution to the problem
Can anybody help ?
With the two other keybords everything is fine
I happened to realise that typing is much harder on the split keyboard but i didnt notice that it was registering my inputs wrongly so im not sure about that. I tot it was just my fingers and the over-zealous autocorrect.
If its really a bug, we can only wait for a software update.
Anyone else?
no problems at all on my note... (language settings are on german input)
Sammy keyboard hints:
1. I have German and English keyboard activated plus T9 word proposals and switch back and forth depending in which forum I post :laugh:
Sumtimes accidently I switch to English or forget to switch back when I type German and THEN it´s a mess .............................
Word prediction is even more messy and unusable when You use the FLOATING keyboard.
Solution: before You get angry or You have no patience to train word prediction switch word prediction off (which I did) or set to have predictions only after 3 or 4 or 5 characters typed (settings!)
I have to admit Swiftkey is much better in this concern but not available as floating for Note 10.1
2. Split keyboard works nicely when word prediction is off. You might have the impression that keys respond wrongly but it´s the word prediction that types the wrong letters.
3. Either I am too clumsy or did not get it right but the change between the three types of keyboards with two fingers hardly works for me instantly. I always produce a lot of funny text until I get it switched ............... :laugh:
Maybe there is a tip from our fellows here to get the change precisely ......................
Summary: play around in keyboard settings and find Your personal settings that satisfy You .......................
@troed Thanks for the tip!
Didnt realise that the i could go into the sub-options under 'predictive text'. Awesome!
Maybe THIS thread could also be of help to You:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847817
There are a lot of "hidden" features, tweaks and settings that make the Note10.1 life wonderful
Takes some time to work through but it´s worth it......... :good::highfive::laugh:
Greetings to Singapore !
I keep trying keyboards in the hope I'll eventually find one that has this basic functionality. I have a Logitech bluetooth keyboard with my Galaxy S5 and every keyboard app I've seen has autocorrect, but what I'm looking for is one that puts the little red squiggly line under words spelled incorrectly. I type quite fast so autocorrect is too slow to keep up and I just fly past the corrections and then often miss typos.
Any help would be appreciated.
