Has anyone noticed that autocorrect functionality only works in the core google apps? I can see suggestions come up, but when I type "teh" instead of "the" it won't automatically correct text in Polaris Office for example - but it works fine in Gmail.
Tried Thumb Keyboard 3.0, 4.0 beta 4, stock Honeycomb, and the stock Asus keyboard and they all seem to have the same issue.
Wanted to see if anyone had some tips for getting this to work of it if is just how Android works...

Does anyone know how to use the standard 2.2 keyboard with the microphone button instead of the TNT keyboard?
Bump, cause I wanna know too!
I'm running TnT 3389 with rothnic's enhancement pack v.1 and the 99% market fix. I'd love to have either the stock Android keyboard or something like Swype beta. Ideally I'd like to have voice input and some navigation arrows for editing. While I'm wishing, any chance of copy/paste getting enabled?
I downloaded the Anysoft keyboard from the official market but can't seem to select it from settings>language &keyboard. When I try to select it as my input method of choice, I am offered the warning about it saving credit card #'s, I click OK, then it goes back to the settings>language & keyboard menu without the checkbox next to Anysoft being checked.
What am I missing?
Can't use alternate keyboard with stock ROM
The stock stuff does not allow you to use an alternate keyboard. Sigh....
EVERYONE should call the Viewsonic support number and demand that they enable all 2.2 capability and not block things. If they aren't allowed to install Google apps, that is OK, but they should not srop things like alternate keyboards. All settings that are in a stock Android 2.2 should be there.
Forgive me if this feature already existed on the Eee Pad TF, but I think I accidentally enabled predictive text.
I found out that Swype is running beta keyboards for the Android system so I downloaded a Swype keyboard from the web and installed it to my TF. I then received a notice saying that my screen size is not supported.
However, today I was just swiping across the screen and Swype began to work.
Either way, if the TF doesn't have this native capability, and you would like predictive text technology, go to http://beta.swype.com/ and follow the instructions.
Your android device will say the screen is unsupported, but you may get lucky like me.
Btw, Swype is great and works better than i expected.

Swype like technology is already installed with stock keyboard.
It really sucks at predicting words though. Especially compared to the Swype I have on my Droid X.
I agree the predictive text on the Asus "swype" suck. Not to mention it takes a lot more effort to "swype" a keyboard as wide as the Asus virtual keyboard.

I agree. I am much faster when I type on the virtual keyboard instead of drag ala swype.
I have reset my unit to use the standard Honeycomb keyboard since the Asus keyboard seems to miss key strokes.
I wish the stock android keyboard has numbers like the asus KB. It would speed things up a bit.
So I was wondering what is the best shell access app out there, connect bot seems to be pretty nice but it seems to work a bit weird with the keyboard dock (tab is actualy shift, control keys don't work etc.) is there a better alternative?
And by better I mean something that works well with the keyboard dock. Having to work with a lot of unix servers it's really annoying to get used to new key bindings.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I don't know about a better one, but Hacker's Keyboard (install via market) is designed with connectbot in mind.
isn't that just another software (touchscreen) keyboard?
i need something to work with the keyboard dock
android terminal, or connectbot
and hacker keyboard
try switching out of the default asus keyboard. connectbot was weird for me too, but then i switched my softkeyboard to thumbkeyboard and weirdly enough, the hardware keyboard works normally now.
I don't need a signature.

It's quite weird but that seems to work lol...
BTW many thanks, this will make my life (or rather work) much easier
I wasn't able to get it working with ThumbKeyboard (my favorite for non-dock keyboard use), but after looking into various tablet optimized variants, I found out someone modified ConnectBot for the Transformer already:
https://github.com/lorantkurthy/connectbot
https://github.com/downloads/lorantkurthy/connectbot/ConnectBot.apk
Everything works for me with this except alt and escape, but search sends escape, so hurrah. (You have to go into options and turn on Transformer keyboard.) It's even tablet-optimized.
I'm using Irsii. It's a kind of connectbot fork.
Tab works directly on keyboard, I just find that the onscreen control button could be bigger...
I use Better Terminal Emulator Pro https://market.android.com/details?id=com.magicandroidapps.bettertermpro&feature=search_result
It's the best I've found so far and includes the bash shell with working tab complete, esc chars etc. Also includes a fully working ssh client.
Hi,
do you know some app terminal which can select text with characters shift+arrow?
THX
hello! does anyone know of a way to get a sense-like keyboard in a aosp rom (liquid smooth rom is the one i am using)? Before i made the move to aosp, which i plan on staying with as its much faster and more efficient in my opinion, i had a keyboard similar to this http://imgur.com/TN76u with the arrow keys and such. I tried Perfect Keyboard from android market, which is very nice and works perfectly, EXCEPT it does not work with connect bot/ssh which completely defeats the purpose of having arrow keys for recalling recent commands lol, for some reason the keyboard refuses to enter text normally the second i open up a screen session in debian, although if i quickly switch over to stock android keyboard i can enter text perfectly, but the stock keyboard does not have arrow keys which is my original problem. I am open to any suggestions, so would really appreciate any help that i can get in finding a decent keyboard thanks!
Hi,
try to disable the option "always suggest " in perfect keyboard settings.
Lacrosse, same here. Like the "older" style keyboard with the arrows, just prefer it and the bigger type box.
Anybody??

Give SwiftKey a try. I've had wonderful results with it. Look in the options to enable arrow keys, plus the text correction and suggestions are fantastic. Themes could use a little work, though.
You might be able to get in with their beta program and download it for free to play with for a while without buying and having to drop it 15 minutes later.
Good hunting!
This is what I use on CM7 on my 'bolt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608
You don't get the arrows, but you get the same layout and many more features.
Hi all,
Running Cyanogenmod 9 nightlies (Currently March 25 version) and all is working well.
One thing though is I really prefer the onscreen keyboard on my Galaxy Nexus over the one on the transformer. Specifically, I like how the top row of buttons on the Samsung has long-press for numbers.
I can't seem to find any other keyboards marked as being ICS compatible after searching here.
Does anyone know if there is the Samsung keyboard available for install on the TF101, or another one, or something I can do to tweak mine to get the desired functionality?
Have you tried Swype keyboard?
It's friggin amazing. I like it with auto-correction turned off though.
It has numbers in the top row that can be long-pressed.
hackers keyboard ftw.
