hi, I was looking for answer on forum but i dont even know what to looking for so I post new thread...
I have in my TP EnergyROM with Coockie and Sense 2.5 from march 8 and I reinstalled EzInput 1.5 keyboards with polish lang pack cab...
my problem is that when i go into people->all people/add favourite->search field and start typing I'm kind of lost focus on first character - it marks itself and in a moment it unmark, then when i press another letter key it type automaticaly 2 characters at once and then unmark again - on text field is now 3 chars but i only tap on 2 keys?!?!?!?
example, to imagine what am I talking about:
1. in text field press "k"
k
2. then i press "o"
kkm
I use "phone kyboard" (and i really want to use this keyboard and not qwerty) with t9,
but when I disable t9 it does another stupid trick - I tap twice to get "k" [jkl] and he gives me jk in text field ?? :/
I also disable all t9/word completion/substitution in Input Options and in "Phone Keyboard" Options - reboot and still same behavior
when I am writing sms message or in the notepad there is no such behavior
and there is no such behavior when making appointments or typing in Internet serach text field....
I have also installed FingerKeyboard2 if this is important....
btw. sorry for my bad english...
is it possible to disable the text auto correction in Mango (OS version: 7661.WP7_5_Trial) ??
it was possible in NoDo but it seems they changed it...
Thanks in advance
Joel
How to disable autocorrection
The autocorrection functions look hidden in Mango B2 but I found the settings after some intense tapping. Open the menu Settings --> System --> keyboard --> press button "typing settings" --> press on the language below the text Keyboard et voila there is the settings page. The settings can only be changed for all the selected languages not individual ones.
Nice catch!

Dear All,
While texting..
Long pressing the keys of the virtual keyboard
and sliding them to choose a letter
while looking at the huge letter pop-up
that displays the currently touched letter above a user's finger
has proven the easiest way for me to type text messages.
(a user's finger always hides the letter that is touched)
I'm looking for a keyboard app
that has the option to disable alternative characters
when long pressing a virtual keyboard's key
so that long pressing a key like "a"
will not pop up a bar of "a"s
with weird accents on top:
"à á â ã ä å æ"
(Android 2.2 default virtual keyboard)
That will make typing with the virtual keyboard so much easier
without worrying that touching a virtual key too long
will pop up the bar with the weird: "à á â ã ä å æ"
And besides, who is using those characters in English anyway?
That bar is just plain useless for English.
So.. anyone knows any keyboard app
that has the option to disable
the alternative characters bar?
Thanks in advance for any info,
ff
You could try Go Keyboard.
You can't disable it completly, but it is possible to alter the delay of the long press (max. 1 sec).
It's very customizable, and got loads of themes. You should try it.
Go Keyboard is amazing!
Thanks!
The delay does the job nicely!
(If only they could make the delay up to 2 seconds
that would be even more amazing :^) but that's OK.. )

Review of Dextr
Review of Dextr
Dextr is indeed very easy.
The fact that the layout is in alphabetical order
helps you in typing really really fast.
The circular keys make it very natural to tap them
so that's another clever feature of Dextr
although i would prefer to have the option of making them bigger.
As i prefer writing messages in all capital letters
because it's easier for me to write them
and for people to read them..
finding how to [Cap Lock] the keys was
a matter of luck for me as i've found it accidentally.
You have to double tap fast, the key with the big capital [A].
That being said i will have to go back in using [Go Keyboard]
as Dextr has a few shortcomings that make it difficult for me
to write messages. But i'll have to stress that it's a matter
of personal taste.. Other Android users will not care and
make Dextr their default keyboard.
1-PopUp Letter height
When taping a key, a big Letter Pops Up showing what you are taping.
Because the PopUp is too close to your thumb
you thumb hides the PopUp letter rendering it useless.
In [Go Keyboard] you can adjust the PopUp height of a key to higher
so you can easily view the PopUp without it being hidden by your thumb.
In Dextr you cannot do that afaik.
2-The [Enter] key does not function.
Probably because Dextr is still in Beta.
Dextr has a column of orange keys that when long pressed
special characters popup.
I wish that Dextr will offer the option to disable
those special characters some day
as i find them completely useless and frustrating in that
when you long press the orange keys and the useless
special characters popup, you have to hit the back button
and tap the same letter again.
Dextr has the option to delay the popup of special characters
but the delay is too short. The same with [Go Keyboard] btw.

Flit Keyboard ! !
Cell phones because of their small size they have 2 grand limitations
when it comes to entering text with their virtual on screen keyboards:
1-qwerty characters on virtual buttons are way too small to view easily
so most likely in most cases you are wasting your time and your patience
looking around to find what you want to tap.
2-qwerty character virtual buttons are way too small to tap
so most likely in most cases you tap the wrong buttons.
But my quest for the
easiest Android keyboard app for text messaging..
(specially if your phone's screen is small)
..is finally over ! !
Flit Keyboard makes entering text so much easier ! !
Search for: [Flit Keyboard] in Google Play.
Just Eight ( 8 ) >> HUGE << Buttons Keyboard.
A gift from God for guys with BIG fingers!!
So easy to enter text with just 1 thumb.
Also, by easily sliding you can type:
>> All << Alphabet characters, numbers and symbols,
(though some symbols still need shift)
all in the same screen!
All you have to do is:
Tap one of the 8 buttons and slide to specific character.
When you release the button that specific character is typed.
Just tap slide and release! That's all there is to it.. so easy!
It's so easy that in fact with a little bit of practice you may enter text
without looking at your cell phone!
While you are pressing a button a BIG pop up opens up
with 9 characters to slide to, making it easier to see
more characters than an Android qwerty keyboard can display.
Important: No more unwanted weird characters typed
if you long-press a button too much..
No more accidentally typing the wrong character!
You can see the character you want to type
by long-pressing as much as you like
to make sure it's the correct character you want to type
before releasing the button and the character is typed.
Cursor controls!
By sliding the space bar (left, up, right) and one of the buttons (down)
you can easily move the cursor any where you want in a body text!
All other keyboard apps that have cursor controls they take
a chunk of the screen making you wanting to disable their cursor functionality
to save screen space.
I firmly believe that Flit Keyboard must become
THE Number One Android Keyboard
out of any other qwerty Android keyboards out there.
video review:
Search youtube for:
[Flit Keyboard]
P.S.
To make characters bigger than the default Flit Keyboard
go to Flit settings and disable: [Show hint line]

Try Swiftkey 3. I been using it for over a year now.
Its clean, easy and efficient.
- Option to activate/ deactivate foreign characters.
- Option to change Long press time from 100-1600ms
- Option to increase or decrease key height. Love this option. I have fat thumbs.
I have the paid version but you can try the free one and see how it works for you.

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone.
I think most people don't care about tinkering with the stock keyboard. Neither do I, but yesterday, while I was just messing with settings, I found an interesting thing in the stock keyboard preference. There is an option to actually do aggressive prediction on pressing the 'space' or any punctuation marks. This is really good for those who have a really small screen or big fingers. If you want to see the difference follow the steps to enable it:
1. Go to 'System Settings > Language & Input' and select the 'Settings' icon.
2. Tap on 'Auto-correction' and select 'Aggressive'.
Tip: For previous word based prediction tick the 'Next-word suggestions'
Hit the thanks button if I helped you because I'm still stuck in that 10 post limit

Good, interesting thing!
Bonjour,
there are a few characters I'm using all the time on macOS.
I really miss them when I am on Android with the gboard keyboard.
Is there a way I can tell gboard that those are my favorite unicode characters and I want to be able to enter them easily?
As far as I think, Google is allowed to create a personal directory for adding custom Unicode.
You should go into the settings of Gboard and search for this option and then you'll get an option to add a Unicode character.
That would be great, but I went into the settings before posting and now again and I didn't see it.
Any hint?
