is there a way to make a fast language change on stock ICS?
it seems the only way is to long press space key and select other language.
yeah, miss the swipe on space bar from GB too. Only other option I found is accessing language switcher from the notification area. So I guess long pressing is now the quickest solution :-/

hello,
im not sure if anyone found this to be a problem, but i would love to have a keyboard with a send button in landscape mode without having to hide keyboard
i have found that if you flip the phone back to it's normal position, the keyboard goes back to its normal self with a send button. i've been doing that lately instead of hiding the keyboard.
yeah i was just wondering if there was something that didnt involve the hide/turning phone. just type and send.
+1 I would like to know about this too. Maybe someone can do a IME mod

the htc ime mod can do this in the stock messaging app, theres an option to use the enter key as send. OR you can disable the fullscreen l;landscape all together so that you still see the text field with the send button next to it.
I find it easiest to simply hit the hard back button which hides the keyboard. Unfortunately I do like using paragraphs in my posts too much to want my return key changed to a send key.

AFAIK the htc ime mod only assigns the return key to send while using the stock messaging app. It should not affect your need for using paragraphs while using any other app.
Yes, this would be a good mod. If you could fit a "Send" key somewhere on the keyboard
did somebody know of a virtual/touch keyboard that have the arrow keys in the basic layout for the captivate?? like a hardware keyboard?? in the original and first screen not in some hide menu??? i think the evo4 have it, could it be port to captivate??
Its not hidden away in the menus. just press and hold the 123 key and they pop right up. There are a lot of features in the captivate that work this way.

awesome! i was starting to get annoyed at my fat fingers for not being able to go to my misspelled words! arrows make it much easier
thanks!
migsims, thanks for the tip, but thats what i call a hiden menu (maybe im incorrect) what i want is a keyboard that has the arrows in the basic layout, in the first page
Is there an equivalent way to bring up these arrow keys using the swype keyboard?

Freakin' sweet! I've been wanting this for a long time. I really love Swype for it's layout and special character positions, but never use the sliding feature.
Still looking for an APK that will enable the mic on 2.1. I bricked going to 2.2 and I'm hesitant to move to 2.2 until Clockwork is fully functional...
That seems to only be for the samsung default keyboard (I'll assume swype too) because when I press and hold the ?123 key, I get a popup menu for the Android keyboard (keyboard settings and input method). Or is as usual that I'm missing something?
Any insight?

Does anybody have an idea how to get the arrow keys on the android keyboard? The holding of the ...123 key doesn't seem to work for this keyboard?
Thanks.
You don't need it on FroYo. There's a blue teardrop shaped handle to scrub text. It pops up once you tap in the text field.

...and if one isn't on Froyo yet? I can't imagine the arrows aren't there in eclair.
Thoughts?

arrows are in eclair, blue teardrop thingy isnt.
in swype slide from the "swype" key (the one with the blue s on it in the lowwer left) to the "sym" key directly to the right of it.
in samsung keyboard... hell i dont rememer it's not there in froyo. someone else can answer that.
in stock android you dont have arrows. sorry but that keyboard is useless anyway, no multi touch means typing is slowwwwww.
now i wonder if the droid x keyboard has arrows it's fully touch screen.. i have used it and find it less natural to type on, just not my preference, it's a good keyboard, a bit better than the samsung one in functioality but my fingers just miss the key, go figure....
Other reasons for wanting arrows would be for ssh and terminals

I picked up this keyboard when it was free on the Amazon App Store a while back. It's awesome! You have several different input options:
tap-type
trace (like Swype)
voice (great recognition!)
write (like a stylus)
I use the voice method most, but all of them work really well. And unlike a lot of other aftermarket keyboards, this one has numbers and special characters on long-press (they're shown above the letters).
The only thing I'm missing coming from the stock HTC Sense keyboard is the directional buttons for moving the cursor around text fields - without a trackball, it's kind of a pain to move around by touching. At least this keyboard has a 'pointer' you can drag around, which makes it a little easier.
Any other great keyboards out there?
I'd like a keyboard I could fully customize. I'd love to be able to remove the buttons that I never use and just get in the way (voice button, language button, etc).
I'd also like to force the predictive text to pick the words I want by default. Typing "aren't" always tries to replace it with "seen" grrrr.

SwiftKey X is a good one to use too. There's a free beta in the market, and by far the best keyboard I've used

The arrow keys on Gingerbread are hidden but can be brought in by just dragging the spacebar up and hidden by dragging it down, which I like since I hardly use them but still need them every once in a while
Is there a way to make the keyboard default to FlexT9 or Swiftkey or whatever you have installed? It's kind of annoying to have to set it up every time I restart the phone.
Hi, i'm new here and i want to buy the Zte V970. Is there a Rom that has the greek language in? I don't want to buy it rooted because the custom rom (in greek) from the store i'll buy sucks...
No one?
That would be in language and input in settings go to the keyboard setting and change it to Greek. I don't know if there is a complete Rom that's in Greek. Hopefully you can find one its a shame that Android doesn't have this already implemented

To do that, i have to add the rom the store offers, but it's kind off messed up ( half the menu is translated in greek). I don't mind having the menu in english, aslong as i can add a greek keyboard for SMS.
You should be able to do that natively i have that option i uploaded some screenies if you are able to play with the phone before you buy it check it out its probably not exactly the same as my phone but it should be a similar way to access it

Also there is apps like go sms pro that allows you to download a Greek keyboard for sms . there is alot of Greek keyboards on the Android market that are probably free.

Everything sorted out...the new rom has greek language installed!
I have a problem though with the new rom v3.0. After installing it, the screen tuns on at different times of the day without me touching the phone. It is like the power buttons gets pressed for a sec. Just now it did it 6 times with 5-7 secs between them. Does anyone else has that issue?
I also unistalled all the apps i used, just in case, but the issue remaines. If i wipe and install the rom again will that help?
You can always try but honestly it might just be a hardware error but you never know until you try

I hope you are wrong, because yesterday i wiped and installed again the new rom. With no apps installed so far so good fingers crossed...
well hopefully I'm wrong but those problems are either your phone can't process the hardware button presses fast enough (eg you press lock button 5 times and it starts to spaz out, or a button is stuck or being constantly pressed on somehow

Its a custom rom, so maybe the rom itself blocked the I out settings? Look into downloading an android Greek keyboard, or whatever language you need for your phone

Hiii
I use Speed-Rom in my Htc-Amaze 4g. There is no 3/4 key pad option in speed rom, so i had to install Go-Keyboard . Now i do not now How to off T9 dictionary in Messaging using Go keyboard
I hate T9.. But have no idea how to get rid of this.
Please resolve this issue
There will be a spanner icon on the keyboard, beside space bar (i think so, coz i've never used go keyboard.)
If it is present tap on it and look for text input and settings (this option can be seen in system default settings too). In That change the keyboard input settings.
