How do I delete words from the stock android keyboard? - Captivate General

The topic title is the question. I tried looking online but there is no Language and Keyboard option under settings on this phone.

I'm interrested too, thanks

Bring up my post.

Can anyone help me?

I am not sure what You really meant, but I would get HistoryEraser from android market, let me know how it goes.

I probably should have included the word "dictionary" in my post.
I added some words to the stock android keyboard's dictionary so it would remember things like "haha" instead of correcting it to Bahamas (true story, try typing "haha" with the stock keyboard). I also added a lot of crap just to test out the adding feature and now I want to delete them from my dictionary. I don't know how to though.

Hi, I found this
Maybe it's what you are looking for
Hope it helps

That was actually exactly what I was looking for. Haha, thanks.
Yeah, I probably should've explained my question a little better, but in the end we got the answer. Thanks again.

Why is messaging typing so slow?

On nearly every ROM i have used so far the typing for messaging, be it an email or a text, just crawls along. It is so painful. I have to sit there and wait and wait for the words to catch up. I'm sure you all know what i'm referring to. I did a search and didn't find a thread about it, although i am sure a solution is out there. Much thanks i you can point me in the right direction.
EDIT: P.S. Please pardon my faux pas....i just now realized, i did not mean to post this to this forum. Mods if you would like to move to the main Raph forum please do so. Cheers!
Mod Edit: Added the cab from the Kaiser forum to speed up keyboard as it works on the Touch Pro as well.

try disabling xt9 and see what happens.
I've noticed the same issue here! Still haven't found a fix tho ;-\
Kewlj1313
not sure where "x"t9 is, but i am pretty sure i have any t9/word complete options turned off and it still crawls. I pretty much want to get rid of that black box that appears around my words above the input area...i think that's the culprit
Did you really disable word completion under settings / input ??
Not sure why this is such a stupid question, as i would be keen to know the answer myself. You can wait ages for the input to catch up, once you have finished typing. So if anyone can help on this, i too would be grateful.

I checked again and there was one more word complete in there somewhere that was not turned off....did a soft reset and it seems to be working normally Thanks for telling me to check again!
I have the same thing, too. When I slide open the phone and start typeing away, i have to let the letters catch up so I can see what I'm typing.
Kinda annoying...

Hello,
Could you please tell me where the other text completion format is?
I went to settings and messaging and turned that off as well as in the advanced config.
Thanks
Nevermind, it is still delayed for me
The settings are where karloe says earlier. Just check all the options and such everywhere in input settings, but i'm still getting delayed typing. It sucks

Fn + Space then choose ABC.
I know this is pretty obvious but I didn't know it, I found the solution here in the forum. Hope it helps you as it helped me.

Bump
I've tried every tweak, etc. out there....i am guessing that not everyone is having this problem then?
Another thing i notice that is annoying is that when i create a word it tends to save that word in the "word memory" just above the typing box, and if i jump to another part of the message and it still has saved that last word i typed, it will insert that word if i put a space or type a letter. Also very annoying. I have no word complete's or anything are turned on.
Mine works just fine...
But typing was very slow on my old Mogul.

SlideIT autospace option

SlideIT is always placing a space between words or, more accurate, in front of all words. Only the first word in a text gets away without a space before it. But, if I write the first word in a text, delete it to replace it with another word, it will create a space and the word will be all small letters!
Example:
Hi it's me!
(now, if i want to replace the word "Hi" with "Hello", I'll go back, delete that word only, and it turns out like this:
<space>hello it's me!
(a space in front of the first word, and its all small letters)
Also, in my language (norwegian) there is a lot of words that are combined by two words, but SlideIT doesn't allow me to enter two words without a space between them, unless i go back and delete the space myself.
Well, easy solution: Go to options and de-select the Automatic space option! Yeah, thats the problem right there. I've already tried a bunch of times, but it doesn't change anything! The spaces keep appearing no matter what!
I've already emailed Dasur, and here is what I got:
Dear Sven Erik
We will check this issue,
Can you tell me if it append aso in Note an Word application ?

I answered YES to both apps, but still no answer.. (Sent on April 12th)
So, is anyone else having this problem?
Any solutions?
SlideIT looks nice and is nice to use but it has lots of little annoying bugs like the one you highlight here. The killer for me was the correction issue with HTC Messaging. I emailed Dasur suggesting they change their editing to the method Swype uses where you can place the cursor anywhere in a word to change it to something else using the suggestion system. With SlideIT you need to highlight the entire word which can't be done in HTC Messaging. As a result, any changes when composing text messages means the word has the be deleted and retyped in it's entirety.
As a result I'm still using Swype until these problems are resolved.

Norsk og tysk har mange likheter! (Er det riktig?)
I have the exact same issue: In German, many words are combined to create longer words as well and because the automatic space option is not working, it is not possible to enter them without having to remove the spaces inbetween manually afterwards. I also contacted Dasur and they sent me an answer thanking me for the feedback... But nothing has happened since! Otherwise SlideIt is awesome!
talk to them on their facebook page, they may be a bit more responsive there.

Yup, Norwegian is part of the German language tree
I sent Dasur a new mail yesterday, and again they reply with questions. I answer them, and guess what? No replies...
Same problems with dutch language here. I also searched for a solution and sent an e-mail but no response.
I got my response from Dasur now, it seems like the auto space option is only ment for ABC-mode:
It's not a bug,
We think that in slide mode* you write word after word
and not try to add word to word (in most languages you can't combine words)
my suggestion to you is to save the long words and to slide them in one slide
In the next version we will offer to disable the auto space in the slide mode too.
Great Day,

But that sucks! Sliding really long words with one pass is very inconvenient! The margin for errors is far too big! And it would be such an easy thing to implement! Come on!
Oh well... We'll see what the next version brings.
I just realized that the auto space option makes no sense if it is only ment for the abc mode, as you enter all letters and spaces manually. so as a reply to the mail I received earlier (see my previous posts) i had to reply:
Hi,
So what you are saying is that auto space option can only be turned off in abc mode? Is there even auto space in abc mode? How does auto space work in abc mode? I am sorry, but I cannot seem to make any sense of this...

I agree, v4.1.0.3 has been out for quite a while now so i hope im wrong but i think it will still be a wihle before a newer version is released.
As mentioned, it actually does respond faster than Swype but Swype is much more finger friendly, has less bugs, its just a smarter layout for editing etc.
SlideIT has great advantages though like the abbreviations etc so if they can just tweak it a little, it will be better than Swype. Needs skins as well, very plain unfortunately.
New mail received!
Okay, i still cant seem to figure these guys out...
Dear Sven Erik
We meant that when you are tapping after a word in slide mode you will not get the auto space
if you slide you will get auto space always

Any way to change a button on swype keyboard

Topic pretty much says it all. I would really like to replace the tutorial button with a speech to text button on the swype keyboard. Anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Travis
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
That tutorial button serves a number of purposes and shouldn't be replaced.
Yes, it's like swype's main menu. I mainly use it to delete gibberish words that I end up adding when I'm on a swyping marathon. It's also useful to correct a word that's already been swyped.
Not to sound like an ass, but my question was not what the button was for. I know that already, I have only actually used it once after a few weeks with the phone. There is also another way to get to that same menu. So for ME, changing the key would be useful. I was under the impression that making my phone more usable for ME was what android was all about. If I wanted to be told how to hold/use my phone I would have just bought an iphone 4.
Again I do not want to be an ass, but this is the 2nd time(first not at xda) I have been told the purpose of something instead of getting an answer to my question.
So please anybody, is there a way that I can change the swype key to something else(speech to text)? If so what do I need to go about doing.
I would just like a straight yes or no answer, and some direction.
Thanks,
Travis
You probably shouldn't have called it the "tutorial key" then. It made you sound like you had no idea what you were talking about.
Hello, I believe the captivate and vibrant are similar so this may be of use to you:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742084
I know it's not changing the swype button to a voice button, but it is adding a voice button which is half of what you asked for
Best of luck!

[Q] Is there a Chinese firmware available?

As titled, is there a Simplified Chinese firmware available for this phone, or if any ROM that contains Chinese natively?
Thanks!
i don't think there is a chinese version of this hardware yet but if the sgs language packs work (they should) then it could be ported from the i9088. gtg should know more about it, maybe checkout infused rom, I ha e a choice foe something that. looks like it may be chinese, also you can probably import the i9088 keyboard and get rid of the Samsung keyboard on the phone.
Hey thanks for the quick reply. I am not only looking for something to input the Chinese (it can be done fairly easily by install Baidu Input etc), I am looking for rom that totally (and natively) showing in Chinese, for example, Browser would be call "浏览器.

names of things are more intricate characters like what you posted. but the browser name is.not what you posted. i don't know enough about Chinese characters to know what im looking at.
i knew what you are asking, it is a matter of getting the language files from an Asian sgs phone the i9088 is a Chinese captivate and certainly has what you are asking for. it can be done but if it isn't included already but important not sure how to do it.

ahh, let me get back to this. I know there must be an answer in either the captivate section or the i9000 section. this has been asked before on those phones. its actually a fairly common request.
Yes, pretty common request. I would like to put Chinese into the phone, I heard that you can "port" the language pack from the i9000 but I need instructions, not sure if this can be installed via a .APK file, or a ROM flash is needed. Thanks and I will keep looking!

[Req] Spell checking - Please developers look into it

Hi all!
Although I am an old user here, this is my first post/thread about my new Galaxy Note 10.1
Ok so our beloved note is supposed to be work oriented and one of the most used perspective of that is Emails I guess.
However this one has a major flow (on stock ROMS) and that is the absence of any spell checker!
I know there's swype and many other features, however spell checker is still an important feature!!!
To make myself clear (if someone didn't understand what I mean), we miss the feature where the wrong typed word is underlined in thin zigzag red line. Once you click on it, many suggestions pop up to replace the wrong word.
This exists on PC, outlooks, word etc.., and exists even on AOSP, CM and all related roms! It even exists on iPad!!!
To ease the way, someone in S2 forums has done it on stock Touchwiz ROM. Look here: PRESS HERE
In this thread he outlines the method he used. I guess it requires AOSP keyboard and libraries as well as modifying the framework and maybe settings apk.
Besides he shows advanced ways of disabling it in browser URL links and contacts app and etc...
Please developers look into this and make it happen, at least for the 4.1.2 ROMS. This is a major feature that we need to have, especially when typing!
I really dunno SAMSUNG what was thinking when it removed this feature from AOSP android!!! I mean this tablet was meant for these things!!!
Thank you!
+1. Hell...+20.
I was looking for spell check the other day when sending out an email. Would definitely be nice. I am not sure how Samsung missed this one
Its mind blowing that such a basic feature is missing from all the Samsung devices! +100 on this request
+50
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I'm an "Old User" as well, and although no spell checker is not quite a deal-breaker, it will sure add a lot of time to everything I need to do with this new tool/tablet...SO: I'll add my voter to whatever a +100 does
+1000 hell yeah! A grammar checker would be wonderful too! A girl can dream.
Bump,
Has anyone tried this? I don't have the tools to do so

Well the mentioned method as well as the method I mentioned in OP are the same! However I am no developer and I really dunno what decompile means and how it is done!
However, I will look into it later on when I have some time.
I would pay for this feature if it was added. I really miss having a spell checker.
I found an app called Ginger Grammer and Spelling.. you can find it in the play store. Just haven't been able to make it work on my Note 10.1. Anybody willing to try it and tell me if it is just my device?
