Ok, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but if I'm doing a "Respond Inline" for Gmail (as just one example), how do I scroll to a particular point to start typing. Just paging up or down wants to put me at the start of the line, and even then I have a hard time getting to the line. I'm kind of used to the trackball on my trusty N1 I guess.
TIA!

I think you'll need a keyboard that has cursor keys, e.g. Smart keyboard.

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.

I did that and the link took me back here!!
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.

Try the following .CAB which was just released by NATF for his v4.2 Fuze ROM...

the first link that comes up is a link to fuzemobility wich shows an old trick from the tilt thats a regedit that helps alot
Is there a thing to install to do this?
I would also like this...
Yeah it would be better then pressing Send on the screen!!
I suppose that would only work if you never intend to use more than one paragraph...
There are several key remapping tools on the forum now. Maybe you would be happier using that and mapping a less useful key.

Anyone know?

What would be ideal for me would be mapping Enter to send, but allowing Shift+Enter to do a line break, like Enter's current functionality.
Lo all, great phone this, I really like it.
One thing that bothers me though:
When using a listing like the WMphonebook, when I scroll down and select an entry and accidentally press the one next to it and then press "return" I'm at the top of the PB-list again. Meh.
Anyone know a tweak or program to make it remember the last position in a long listing? Both Phonebook and filelistings would be useful f ex.
Also has anyone got a way to Cut/paste w/out an extra program or do i need a separate program for that? Try f ex copying a phonenumber from Contacts list and try pasting it into another application.
Cheers beforehand,
Paul

i do this by switching to WinMobile standard keybord and Ctrl+X, C, V
Cheers, how can I switch to the standard windows keyboard? Only got the numbers and the Qwerty ones?
After looking alot around the net I found Fingerkeyboard which gives a nice layout keyboard and Cut/paste-functionality wherever there is a SIP.
Can recommend it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122
Somehow I can't seem to find the Question mark on iot though.
Still It can be fixed.
Anyone found a solution to returning to the same spot in listings?
Bump anyone?
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!
Wtf? Does anyone know how to add direction keys at the bottom of the Gboard? The only way I know is through the settings...
I want permanent keys.
Thanks

I emailed the Gboard dev team to ask for directional keys. SwiftKey is a popular alternative that has an option for dir keys

Hey thanks psychoreactor[\b], i completely forgot about swift and good timing you must be psychic because i done a factory reset after a propper root on my samsung a70 because the unofficial root psge had the link st the bottom and i was getting stuck in a boot screen with my own recovery.. Well i tried, however, i forgot to unecrypt my sdcard... Big dramas and the titanium backup was on the internal which got wiped.. Long story short i was playing around with Grammarly and the samsung keyboards and i could have sworn kne of them had directional keys... As you can imagine, i was congused ss jeck and i had the backup codes for my google slave account and MEGA key on that sdcard thst was ebcrypted... It doesn't stop there though because me, like an idiot started downloading software that promised to decrypt... Yeah right.. Monkey balls..
But here i am now, without two account s lost, tried contacting them... Nada..
So my friend, the show must go on and i learnt a valuable lesson in the the procces.
Always backup productively, reduce mutitasking and focus on one step at a time. AND, theres no place like XDA.
(the following advertisement was brought to you by SwiftKey) cheers ?
Hopefully Gboard implements it, because i love the dictation button on the upper right
