Sorry if Im asking an already answered question but I don't know the solution. I dont know if this is a Liberty issue because of the small screen, or an issue related to the google voice app itself. but when Im typing a message out in google voice and the text gets to the 4 line, I can no longer see what I am typing, the word suggestion row above the letters are covering what im writing. This used to be fine when I used swipe because it never did that, however I updated swype and no it is having the same issues. Does anyone know of a solution to this? a different keyboard? a fix?
I don't know of a fix, but rotate to landscape mode will keep the text box fully visible. This is really annoying to me as well.

yah, this has been a known problem. just tried typing in both G Voice and Handsent. wrote a paragraph of text with no issue in either landscape or portrait mode.
i remember in the beginning it didnt work for me either. running CM7.1, and all is well
I use Swype. So usually when this happens for me i just cycle from Swype to th Default back to Swype and it's fixed.

.....i dont even know what i installed that caused it, but my on-screen keyboard changed....it now lacks spacebar, and caps, and some other things......i wish i knew exactly what it was i installed to cause it, but i dont remember smh....i searched around, but never found anything to fix this problem....please help!
also....with my dialer, theres a big delay in when im dialing numbers...it makes it difficult sometimes when im trying to retrieve voicemail and things of that sort...it wasnt always like this, and same as my other issue, i cant remember exactly what was installed or whatever that began this problem....
please help!
BTW why would you use on screen keyboard on kaiser u have hardware keyboard
and i think the delay in dialer is due to some dialer skin you might have installed try removing it......
you changed your keyboard to use the large keyboard with gestures.
(swipe right is space, swipe back is backspace, down is enter, ect)
you can change it back in the sip settings under the keyboard.
lmao, yet smh at myself.....no wonder i couldn't find anything through searching, the answer was TOO easy....
...now if i could only figure out this dialer problem...
Hey Everyone,
I upgraded to Android 1.6 and rooted my phone.
All is working fine.
(I added the apps better keyboard and slide keyboard) days ago.
I JUST noticed that the default dialpad is missing the letters under the numbers that means if I have to spell a name using the dialpad I can't since I ONLY see numbers now.
Can someone shed some light on this?
How do I turn back on the T9 keyboard??? I think that's what I need to do, not sure.
The phone is an LG EVE.
THANKS!
How Do I delete this thread?
I turned off the better keyboard and now the dialer keypad shows the letters.
Strange...

Write [SOLVED] at the beggining of the title.
Most forums do not let you edit the title hence I did not look for that low tech solution
Maybe I'm just an ignorant fool for having taken several days to figure this out, but I just realized you can move the text-prediction bar so that it's no longer blocking the "send" button on text messages.
Press and hold on any word that pops up, and you can drag it to another location on the screen. Mine is now pinned to the top of the keyboard, and the send button is now available to be pressed even if i don't select an auto-correct word. It does hide the "attach" button, but I rarely use that in SMS anyway.
Thought this might help.
EDIT: Well, I guess I am an ignorant fool. The change isn't permanent.. or at least I haven't found a way to make it permanent. I wonder what person thought it was a good idea to float the text prediction bar at some arbitrary spot that just so happens to block the most important texting button... I'm convinced nobody tests these things... But I digress.
I was excited about this until I did it and then got another text and the box was right back where it started haha

Yeah, same here. I edited the original post accordingly. It really astounds me how minor, yet stupid, the text prediction implementation is..
I switched to SwiftKey and never looked back. HTC's IME is nice for a stock KB.. but it's too large (because of extra row for arrow keys) and the prediction text blocking everything above the keyboard.
I wonder if HTC IME MOD is any better in these regards?

I, too, am now using Swiftkey. It really has a great feel to it. Most of the time, it records every keypress. However I've experienced extreme lag from time to time, resolved only when i disable the keyboard and reenable it. Ever happen to you?
If your as annoyed with the senseui keyboard as I was I can highly recommend the gingerbread keyboard off the market. It is, unequivocally, fantastic.
I am using the gingerbread keyboard as well. Accidentally found out you can drag the space bar up to get the arrow keys then drag it back down to get rid of them. Handy little feature.

Arrow keys are a huge time saver for me... I'll be checking out the Gingerbread keyboard...
Wow, gonna have to pay for this one... Gingerbread Keyboard is awesome
id like to put the word prediction bar transparent or make it desapear but keep the continuous input working on!
Hi all, been lurking for a while but thought I would finally post up.
Having an issue with my Nexus S on stock ROM v2.3.3. It isn't the same issues with the keyboard disappearing etc but it is an issue with the keyboard not inputting text when I type.
If I am typing a SMS reply to someone on my phone and I pause for a few seconds (to talk to someone for example) then I try to continue typing, the keyboard acts like its typing but does not actually type anything else into the message. The only fix I have managed to discover is exit the SMS so that a draft gets saved then once I go back into the message it works again.
Don't know if that is a clear enough description but if anyone else has any suggestions or even a fix for it then it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Yeah I have that too sometimes. What also happens to me about every week is, that the smiley sections' and the (particularly important for me since I'm from Austria and using the German keyboard ü-ö-ä) special buttons and symbols' pop up extension (hard to describe, but I mean the thing that pops up when you put your finger on the expandable tile for like 2 second and which let's you select the unusual symbols from a list) simply will not pop up. So it would make it impossible for me to choose from the pre-created smileys etc.
I have found out that changing your input method to another keyboard (I use SwiftKey in these cases) and then changing it back Android keyboard make the problems disappear. But they seem to come back regularly and I haven't found out what causes them to appear...
Any help?
Hi all,
So, I'm having a bizarre issue with Samsung Keyboard on my Verizon Galaxy S7. I use the auto correct (auto replace) feature, and it normally does a very good job of catching typos and whatnot. But, it does something really strange when I end a sentence with an exclamation point (!) or question mark (?).
It replaces the entire word before this mark with something totally unrelated. Like for example, if I type "Yeah!", I hit the space bar, and it gets replaced with something like "The!", or "I!". My girlfriend has the same issue on her Galaxy S7. We never had this issue on our previous Samsung phones. This seems to only happen with Samsung Keyboard. But, I would like it if I didn't have to switch keyboards, or turn off Auto correct. Any ideas?
Here's what I've tried so far:
Clear cache and data on Samsung Keyboard
Disable Sync on Samsung Account
Disable various keyboard features, like Auto spacing and Auto punctuate
Factory reset
Thanks in advance!
OMG! Thank God someone else is experiencing this too because I thought I was going crazy LOL. I've been sharing the below post everywhere I can -- I sure hope Samsung fixes it soon because it's very irritating.
I have the s7 and I HATE the autocorrect. I use exclamation points a lot and every time you end a sentence with one it autocorrects the final word in the sentence to something completely random. For example, I typed "I don't understand how!" and it autocorrected how to "why." I typed "Why, does this phone?" and it autocorrected phone to "mean." I typed "Those poor kids are probably starving" and it autocorrect starving to "the." It's the most frustrating thing ever and happens every time I type a text message. I've never wanted to chuck a phone across the room more than when I'm texting on the S7. I've contacted Samsung support, twice, and they pretty much told me I was crazy. So, I figure I'll find every review post on the S7 and post about my issue to see if someone somewhere in the Samsung world can release a software fix for this stupid phone.
Yeah this drives me crazy as well. It's very inaccurate. Maybe a new keyboard like swift key? With the stock one you are better off just tapping

Yes!! I'm so glad too that I'm not the only one experiencing this. I have been searching like crazy, and haven't found this issue listed anywhere.
So sounds like the only fix at this point is a custom keyboard. I hope they fix this soon. Thanks for the replies!
Ok, I have an update. I went into Settings > Language and Input > Samsung Keyboard > Add input languages. There was an "Update" button next to "English (US)". I downloaded this update. Since then, the problem seems to have diminished somewhat. I still see it, but it's kinda 50/50 now.
If somebody else wants to try this, let me know what kind of results you get. Thanks!
I managed to correct the problem! Under Settings > Language > Samsung Keyboard > Add Input Languages > More > Check for updates!!! So relieved!
Issues with Autocorrect on Samsung Keyboard? Completely wrong word replacement
Just use the Kii keyboard app. Free and does what you want.
I fixed it! I went to the Samsung keyboard in settings and changed the Keyboard Swipe to None. Boom! Instantly fixed!
i always loved the samsung keyboard but after the nougat update i move to gboard and think ill stay here for a while because i think the autocorrection works far better and love that you can have multiple languages at the same time rather then to switch between each one of the sammy.
I thought it was only me.... I used to save Roman Urdu words saved in my dictionary and it automatically used to replace the correct words as I zipped along.. no longer working right for me and I am so frustrated by it.. software update screwed my fav keyboard

i get the same issues when i text on my Samsung s7 phone but mine does it anywhere in my text not necessarily at the end, im thinking about spending muy money on iphone instead cause this is driving me nuts! get tired of having tip go back and fix words on a constant basis or re-text because person reading it can't understand what i said.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Predictive Text and Auto Replace
I was having the same problem (a word being suggested that was totally off from what was being typed and that wacky word replacing the correct word). The fix was keeping the predictive text on but turning the auto replace off. For my phone/software I got to these by:
1. Settings
2. General Management
3. Language And Time - Language and Input
4. Keyboards - Virtual Keyboard
5. Samsung Keyboard
6. Smart Typing - Predictive Text
The Predictive Text should be on, but the Auto Replace should be off
With the settings as described, the words I use a lot while texting (for instance "thanks" and "ok") show up under where I'm typing the text and I can tap them to save time, but the whole deal where some wacky word comes up and then replaces the word you wanted unless you hit the arrow goes away. I hope this is helpful.
it's 2018 and im still having this issue. I'll type in love and 100% of the time it switches to live. I mean, I use live too so i don't want to delete it. This issue makes me take atleast twice as long to type one message. I had it turned off for a long time and that was my solution, but if they have a feature, I want to ****ing use it. I NEVER had this issue on my previous Samsungs and i've only ever had Samsung "smart" phones.
