So I was able to enable it and get it to work when using "samsung keyboard", but when i switch to swype it doesnt work whatsoever, is that just me?
And it's even kind of annoying in Samsung Keyboard, the auto spell/suggestion bar bounces up and down when it has a suggestion and goes away when it does.. other android versions I've used leave that bar there so as to not assult your eyes with bouncing text.
Any suggestions?
Swype settings and auto-spell/correct are, I believe, independent from the Android auto-spell/correct dictionary (from my read of the Swype boards).
Settings for Swype are accessible through Home > Settings > Locale and text > Swype

When I tried out the OTA ICS ROM, I was able to switch keyboards from the notification menu. I now have KANGY v7 installed, which doesn't seem to have any apparent way to change the keyboard without going into system settings > language and input > default keyboard.
Is there a way to force this menu back?
Never mind, I found it.
In Settings > ROM Control > General UI, I had to check off "Show IME Switcher" and reboot my phone.
Setting keyboard "show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show" doesn't work
There is a problem that we are experiencing for long time. Please, star it in order of Google devs see it. Thanks.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39729
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Make sure the Android Keyboard is set as your input method.
2. Navigate to settings > Language & Input > Android Keyboard Settings
3. Set "Show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show"
4. Open Google Now and tap the search box
5. The Android keyboard is displayed, but does not give suggestions
What happened:
When using the Android keyboard, suggestions are not always shown to you as you would expect. A proper description of current "Always show" implementation is "Always show...with some exceptions"
(Note: This is presumably because textNoSuggestions and/or TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS is set for the inputType in the apps where suggestions are not shown)
What you think the correct behavior should be:
1. Keep the current implementation of "Always Show" but rename it "Show when enabled" or just "Enabled" (or anything that doesn't have the finality of "always")
2. Add new implementation of option "Always Show" that ignores the app's preference for showing suggestions and actually ALWAYS show suggestions.

only suggestion I can give is, stop using any custom roms. they dont focus on this little s***... it woks fine with my straight stock but rooted..
How? I'm using stock rom in my Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus and it's terrible to use the swipe feature of keyboard.
Bump. Still in 4.3.
Bump. Please star it.
for anyone still looking for a solution there is the Kii keyboard on the play store which offer the option to keep the correction bar visible while retaining the same look and feel of the original Google keyboard.
Need some help with this Feature!!
I struggle to have this option work correctly on any of my keyboard apps not only google. Allot of times theres no suggestions and what happens is the auto-correct feature kicks in instead. Now i rather have the correct way to spell a word or options for similuar words above the number keys on my keyboard. But instead theres no suggested words at all and my typing becomes etrocious and words get spelt with numbers randomly placed around and nothing corrects however words do, I guess you say the oppisite of correct? I might type "Thanks" allot and because ive hit "5hnks" hitting "5" by mistake makes the keyboard think "thats a new word, let me add that to my dicitionary" and now "thanks" becomes "5hnks" and many words that begin "Th" are now replaced to "5h" because the keyboard has auto learned Incorrectly thinking its being smart to learn how you type, Does this make any sence? its anoying when i dont cath the mistakes.. I want a better working "Sugested words" Option?
Have you found a solution?
I have tried here:
- Go Keyboard (my favorite)
- Hacker's Keyboard
- Swiftkey Keyboard.
- Cute Emoji Keyboard
Only swiftkey and Cute were able to show predictions/suggestions everywhere.
So I don't know if this is a feature or a bug but I saw that whenever i had the keyboard open i would get a "Select input keyboard" notification (you can see it in the first image). When i open the notifications i get the dialog in the second picture.
So i went straight on disabling all the other keyboards: i disabled Swype and Google app (because of Google Vocal Typing or something like that) from the apps settings so the AOSP keyboard is the only one left (see third image) but again no luck, the notification is still there. I also tried replacing the AOSP keyboard with Google keyboard and ensuring that it was the only one active but it still didn't work. Is this standard Android behavior? Or possibly an Alcatel bug? A bug in my software? That thing is annoying as hell.

I get that dialog when I press a small button to the right of the nav bar (it only appears when the keyboard pops up). Did you try to longpress the notification and then press the "i" symbol, then disable notifications from that source?
I always get that dialog, even with only one keyboard app installed/enabled, so that's not normal.
By the way, i tried disabling the notification but since it comes from Android System itself it cannot be disabled but only set to priority mode.
It drove me crazy for a bit cause I'm a little OCD with my screen, but I just ignore it now.
I'm on the Verizon S7 Nougat. So far, it's really nice, but I have noticed that I can no longer choose a default keyboard like you could before in the settings.
In the Verizon S7 Nougat, there is Settings->Language and Input->Virtual Keyboard.
From there, it lists the keyboards (such as Google voice typing, GBoard, Samsung keyboard, SwiftKey Keyboard) and then a Manage Keyboards item.
Selecting any of the keyboards takes me to the settings section for that keyboard, but nowhere is there a way to set it as the default keyboard.
If I select "Manage Keyboards", each keyboard is listed with a toggle switch. The only way I can switch to another keyboard is to toggle off all the other keyboards, and toggle on the keyboard I want to use.
Is this the same for non-VZW S7s on Nougat?
I did a search from the settings screen for "Default Keyboard" and other permutations but there is no such setting in the Nougat version of the VZW S7.
Just curious if this is the same for AT&T, Sprint, etc models under Nougat or that VZW and/or Samsung screwed up?
Uninstall and reinstall SwiftKey, when you first run it it will allow you to set it as default
Yeah, had to do similar thing with my Finacee's AT&T Edge. She had to run G-Board from the app drawer and let it prompt to be set as default after the upgrade.

That's not the problem. The problem is there's. I way to change the default keyboard without going into the Manage keyboards section and turning off the other keyboards. But it does appear to be a common problem across all s7s whether they're on Verizon or not. But thanks for the tip but rather than uninstalling, I'll just turn off the other keyboard in the manage keyboard section when I want to try out other keyboards. Hopefully, they'll fix the issue and give us the ability to easily change the default keyboard like we could in Marshmallow.

I see what you mean, yea they seem to have removed a lot of default app abilities, including setting a default 3rd party video player, there is only browser, contacts, messaging and launcher you can switch between defaults for from the default applications setting
Most people including myself want MX Player as default, no can do, was a bit miffed when I realised that, even disabling all video players apart from MX results in it saying there are no apps that can open this file type when you try opening a video from the gallery

The Verizon version doesn't have that setting anywhere. There isn't any "Default Keyboard" option at all. Sigh. Verizon screwed something up after the Nougat update.
I mistyped... Settings | general management | language and input | default keyboard.
I also installed a keyboard switcher since I use various keyboard for various tasks. Android 7.0, I'm a Verizon customer.
My partner's S6 has recently received the update to 7 from 6, and she dislikes the whole new style of the Samsung interface and the way the phone behaves.
I believe that most of this can be overcome, but the thing that seems to be bugging her the most is the keyboard change on the Internet browser.
All of the other keyboard on the phone show the "predictive text" bar, and when you press the "period / comma" button is allows you to choose your punctuation for that instance.
HOWEVER, on her phone, there is no predictive text bar, and pressing to add punctuation changes the function of that button to the punctuation you used.
I cannot for the life of me find a way of changing the behaviour or restoring the predictive text bar, and while "install a new keyboard" might see like a viable option, the question still stands of why did they change it!?
I have friends with the S7 and S8 phones that don't have these issues, so I am thinking it is something to the Samsung / EE rom that was installed on her UK phone, or a setting somewhere that I am missing.
Any help is appreciated.
