When I used the landscape keyboard to send an SMS message from my Skyrocket, the default layout of the message composition screen has the "attach" button above the "send" button, meaning I can't directly click send. I either have to go "back" to dispose the keyboard to reveal the "send" button, or carefully scroll the narrow view-port above the keyboard to reveal it.
When I used SwiftKey, I believe it had a button on the keyboard that managed to send the message. But I'm trying to use either stock or the ICS port keyboard since SwiftKey's space-bar was too narrow for my fat thumbs.
Is anyone else plagued by this? Any clever solutions?

Lol....
OP: if in landscape mode, after you type your message, hit the BACK soft button.... that will hide keyboard and show the attach option abovd the send option
I will agree that's annoying as hell. Never noticed it bc I don't type in landscape. Thank god I don't.
In landscape hit done and it will send if i remember right
Where is "Done"?

When I used Swype, it had a "Done" button I believe. But I couldn't handle Swype's narrow spacebar. Why doesn't the stock Android 2.3.5 keyboard have a "Done" button, or the back-ported ICS keyboard (shown above)?
This is so frustrating! Seems like just generally poor designing by samsung. The SGS1 didnt have this issue and a part of me wants to pull the API of the messaging off of my Captivate on to my skyrocket. Does anyone know if this is possible

When I type something on my text messages there is a screw up.
EX: If I text "i am going to store" and i dont hit space after store it sends the message but keeps the "store" in the message and if i hit send it will send "store" again by itself... I have to hit space since it recommends something and unless i hit the word it wont go away...
any suggestions?
Adding puntuation afterwards should clear it up, or tapping on the word, or maybe even hitting enter (although I don't know if that works!)

I really hope this windows device works out :/

If this is what I think it is, bring up one of the HTC keyboards and turn the switch on the ABC/T9 button onto ABC. That should disable it.
Yes, it is the most idiotic typing "aid" ever invented.
Turned off auto complete and auto suggest and still doesnt work!!! Did a soft reset! This is so stupid!
I will try the T9 thing.
T9 WORKED!!!
thank heaven!!
thanks allot guys
this has been driving me mad. i tried turning off word completion etc and that didnt help but this seems to have, thanks
yes it definitely fixed it for me. Great that was driving me mad.
Yes Kill xT9 Or Hit a Space at the end of every text.

Turning off T9 did not help at all. I still get the black line at the bottom of the screen. The f*#$%#% thing still wants to suggest some very useful words for me! Any other ideas?
Did you follow the steps?
When you start typing a new sms bring out the virtual onscreen keyboard, press the arrow and choose Full QWERTY. In full QWERTY mode you should have a little button on the bottom left of the screen with "ABC T9" written on it. Press it and let the magic work.
Now press fn + Space and a menu appears. Check that it is indeed in ABC mode. If you want to be on the safe side go also into "T9 Settings" (on that menu) and kill (untick) everything. Or at least that's what I did.
Excellent, thanks. The black bottom bar from SMS editing was very annoying. Now it's gone, thanks.
New SMS message, FN+ Space and then check ABC.
Thx!
Thx! You were right. In fact FN + Space then choosing ABC instead of English really does work. That #$%#$% annoying black thing disappeared! Thx!

Knew I'd find the answer to my problem here on XDA-devs! Just did a HR and somehow the ABC/T9 slider got into the T9 setting, causing all types of problems when typing. Thanks for the tip and now I'll know for next time!!!
i would actually like that, how do i get my phone to do that? i can make it happed when i switch from ABC to T9, but after sometime it switches back to ABS
When ever I am starting to text my Fuze will go to the same screen as if you slid open the keyboard(email,message,favorites,web search,appointment,tasks,note,and contact) description of the screen. And sometimes it will also got to contacts or it will go to my keypad to my phone.....I am getting a little frustrated does anyone have any answers????? Help me!!!
You're in the wrong forum here guy; the Fuze is the Touch Pro, not the Touch Diamond.
thread moved
hope this helps
I have the same issue.. It seems like when ever I get a txt and push reply and the slide the keyboard out once I start typing it goes to the phone dial pad menu
This has happened to me a few times. It only happens when I slide the keyboard open before the text message reply screen is fully loaded. If I let the screen completely load and then slide the keyboard and start typing I have no problems. So just give it a couple of seconds before sliding the phone open. Hope this helps!
I'm pretty sure I GOT IT!!!!!

Honda I have a question for ya??? Do you have any form of voice command on your phone?????
I've got voice command disabled and I have this issue all the time. I basically have to start any text in portrait mode, wait a few seconds... and then slide open the keyboard and proceed as normal.
It sucks because if I'm looking at a text in TF3D and hit 'menu' and 'reply' then flip the keyboard open, I'll even have time to type a few letters before I'm looking at the stupid a$$ landscape TF3D screen. Then I have to hit 'Messages' and tap on the message to type my reply in the threaded view.
Would love to use a major function of my phone without having to hesitate!

That's the way I've been doing it on my Sprint TPro. It's become second nature now so I don't even have to think about it any more.
Yep.

FWIW, I have this exact same issue and find it pretty annoying. Guess ya just gotta wait a few seconds before sliding open the keyboard...
So something got under my TP screen and its basically useless. Still viewable but contact doesnt work anymore. That being said, the only way i know to send a text message is to touch the screen and press send. does anyone know another way, or a way to bind to send?
i have the att fuze btw.

2 options, use the directional buttons around the enter key, or install virtual mouse.
The directional buttons don't allow you to navigate to the 'Send' button unfortunately. At least, not that I have been able to do. I can navigate most other places with them though.
I will look into using virutal mouse tonight. Thanks.
I have the UK version - so i may be wrong here. Isnt there a txt key on the slide out keyboard?
Failing that, bind a key using something like AEB (remap button pushes) or gscroll (use the capacative touch on the buttons) - you can google them both!
And if you have trouble mapping to "create new txt" send me a pm and i'll walk you through it!
I was curious about my Swype keyboard on my Galaxy.
I hit something by accident and the input keyboard area turned into a bunch of big buttons with arrows and direction on them.
Anyone know what this is or how to get it to show again?
I hit the return key fast before I realized it was too late. lol
Thanks.

Swype from the tips key (the one in the bottom left) to the SYM key (the one to the right of it) and you'll pull up a new set of inputs designed to help you navigate text.
for me the swype keyboard keeps freezing and i have to switch inputs to the regular keyboard, then back to swype to reset it. it will last for about a day then freezes up again. I'm running a stock rom on evo 3d. im planning on rooting and running a custom rom, but i was wondering if it happens to more than just my phone.
Not sure if this is a bug or a feature (JB 4.1.1 UK on GT-N8000) but when I attach the hardware keyboard (the white one, original Samsung accesory) and try to write, pressing Enter on a keyboard makes the software keyboard popup. Ihave to press the "Back" button to hide it and then on the next enter pops up again. The same goes for the arrow keys, pressing them pops up the software keyboard.
Maybe a firmware does not count with the hardware keyboard attached...
All this happens when writing to a forums or sending emails through a web, not when writing in office etc...
Has anyone of you the same experience?

In Language and input > uncheck Samsung keyboard, and check your hardware keyboard. Try that maybe ?

No check for a hardware keyboard just a voice input or keyboard (Samsung keyboard) nothing more for harware things...
But it seems it's a feature, clicking to a form on the web makes the keyboard to popup...writing in office has no popups...

Download null keyboard from the market and select it as the keyboard. Should be a free app.

Good idea, but then you have to switch between them if you attach/detach HW kbd...why there's no popup when writing in office, this should go with the FW developing....maybe someone's forgot something...maybe will be fixed in the next FW update...maybe I'l live with it...anyway null kbd is a good idea, thanks, never thought someting like that may exist

Unfortunately, a lot of silly things like this are often overlooked by the software developers and a workaround is usually created like in your example. At least there is a fix until/if ever they do eventually get it resolved.
