Is this possible, I can't find it anywhere.
It is a nice feature, but try backspacing inside of google and you can't delete the word cause it just keeps changing it. Kind of funny actually.
I would just like to turn it off.
Unfortunately it's a known bug with some Google services / search bar. You need to swipe energetically from the right side of your keyboard towards the centre to make the whole word disappear, but that's just a workaround, of course.
And SwiftKey is all about prediction, so unfortunately it's hard to get rid of it completely, but I'm not sure this would help. Disabling all languages makes it worse in predicting, but it still tries ;> probably based on custom dict or its own mechanism.
See if changing the (smart) space behaviour changes anything (it probably won't).

I've included a few of my thoughts on keyboards in the apps thread and there's an ongoing discussion on these here.
Awesome, thanks!

Hi,
When you press the SEARCH key, and typing in the text field ...
Does the keyboard give you text prediction?
And also when you search in the Market app ...
If not, is possible to enable text prediction on all input fields?
Thanks.
Negative on the text prediction for search. I get text prediction in the form of app suggestions on the market, but I don't know if that's quite what you're looking for.
As far as enabling it, I have no idea. I don't recall if any of my past Android devices did text prediction on search. :/

Take a look at SwiftKey. Text prediction is one of the reasons that my wife and I moved to it. We like this keyboard much better than stock, for us it was well worth the money.
This is common for several fields in several different apps. I work for Swype, so I've seen this myself, but since our keyboard doesn't typically work this way it's only been a curiosity for me. I believe it is considered a "feature" since you might want to explicitly type something else other than what prediction guesses. If you want to give Swype a try, the beta is currently open at: http://beta.swype.com/
Hi there,
Thanks for your info. I still find it odd, to not have this common behavior on all input fields.
Heck, the old HTC_IME hack on HTC Desire works pretty well with all the options to have prediction in all kind of input fields (thanks to the modder, jonasl). I still have this on my signature below.
But recently, I like the new Nexus S keyboard. It look slick, easy to type. But yeah, I missed some of the HTC_IME improvements, like SMILEY button!
As for SWYPE, granted, it is a very nice keyboard. But, I don't use ENGLISH that much I am using south-east asian language which is not supported
So, I am afraid that it does not offer much advantage.

The built in Gingerbread keyboard does have a smiley button. It's a "smart" keyboard, it knows what you're doing and shows you the appropriate keys/features/functions.
Go write a txt message, and you'll see a smiley key on the bottom right.
They should've taken out the period and extended the space bar. Its very frustrating when I'm trying to type fast. IPhone still had the best touch keyboard available

Thanks, I did not know that.
Obviously because I am using Nexus S keyboard on my HTC Desire! Probably it does not work fully as designed (I did not see that smiley button).
But, does that smiley button also appear when you type in EMAIL or TEXT AREA like replying to forum like this using the web browser?
Or when typing comments on Facebook app! That would be very nice.

I only see it in the Messaging app.
Just installed the newest release of Swype, beta 3.0, on my CM 7.0.3. The predictive is vastly improved. But, there is some significant lag on the entries sometimes. Going to sere if that improves with a couple of reboots.
How is everyone else doing with it and on what roms?
Tells me I have an invalid license on miui. I've been a beta tester since their first sign ups... their customer service sux cuz I have emailed them about this a few times with no reply.

Does the 3.0 have a mic?

Mic doesn't work for me. I see a blue outline like when something in Swype is broken when I try to use it. However, the improvements to me are worth the upgrade. It has a better word selector, more similar to stock/sense keyboard.
Worked fine on CM7 and Synergy for me. I always restore data for the installer from ROM to ROM. I think that preserves the license correctly. I also ran it fine on Hybrid Sense 3.0 as well.
I'm really not liking some aspects of it.
1. Before, it would pop up a list of word possibilities and I could hit the little x if I didn't like any of the choices. Now, I have to delete the word manually to give it another try. Takes longer.
2. I like the single-click correction, but it causes grief sometimes. For example, if I know I want to insert a letter or apostrophe into a word, I click on the word and the cursor immediately jumps to the end, and then I have to click again in the position where I want to insert, or use the track pad. Again, takes longer and sometimes it jumps to the end of the word a second time. Very annoying.
3. I don't like having to touch a new word twice to store it. Much rather have the previous implementation where I just manually typed the word and it was forever memorized.
Some things are nicer, like being able to use predictive text when typing each letter, but overall I think I'd like to revert to the previous addition. I'll give it a few more days.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I like so far, like that when I'm writing a weird word, like a product number I'm googling, it does not get stored. also the fact that I always get the word selector, sometimes I it annoyed me that it would not pop up on common words with similar trace lines as non common.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
So far so good for me. In previous versions after a reboot Swype stopped working and I had to re select it to get it to work. I haven't had this problem with V3.0
Microphone is also working well now.
Running on Optimized Shift now with no problems.

Experienced same thing. Uninstalled and and ran the installer which installed 3.0. After new install it worked for a day or two until it said Beta Expired so had to generate new code but took just about 10 seconds.
The backspace is a real pain in the butt when the predictive text is incorrect and for those of us who have a foul mouth in text with our friends, it likes to replace a certain F word with duck no matter how many times I add the F word.
any way to get the predictive bar to stay there all the time so it doesnt snap the keyboard up/down ALL the time?

It stays in landscape, vanished in vertical.
FWIW, it seems to be working great for me on MIUI. I do have to admit the jumping up and down with the predictive bar gets annoying.
My predictive bar is always on top of the keyboard, just blank inbetween words, not sure what everyone is talking about regarding the jumping around *shrug*.
I love the new word choice style. I used to always tap the bottom word when trying to go to the second page of choices and now that mistake has been eliminated. While it does lessen screen real estate a little, it also doesn't cover what you're typing, the webpage you're on, etc which is nice.
I also love that I have the choice to add words after typing them rather than being automatic. Before, captcha phrases, words like aaaaaahhh!, etc were always added and got in the way sometimes.
The automatic correction is okay for typing but it annoyed me that I had to confirm my choice when I swyped or else if I moved the cursor somewhere else to add a word in, the cursor would go back to the end and replace the last word instead. I just turned the auto correct option off and everything is perfect for my tastes!
As for the person upset about losing one touch delete/undo for wrong words via the 'x' button, if you tap the swype key it highlights the word behind your cursor and you can swype over it with a new word, which is pretty close, it just involves one more tap to delete if you don't want any word there at all.

Am I doing something wrong here? I am trying to use the Samsung Keyboard with spell check turned on. It seems like it does not correct even the simplest of mistakes as other keyboard apps do.
For instance, if I type "thee dogg", it does not correct it. Those are not words in English. Why doesn't it correct to "the dog"? Instead of correcting these obvious misspellings, it just adds the misspelled words to My Word List. Why the heck would anyone want that? I'm lost on the logic here.
Any help is appreciated.

Yes, it is in English. I can just use Thumb Keyboard which has decent correction but I would prefer to try the Samsung one due to the extra features. Just odd that it would choose to add misspelled words to your word list rather than fix them. Head-scratcher. I'm looking for a setting that changes this behavior but cannot find one.
Samsung seems to do a number of things software wise that you sort of wonder how it ever made it out of committee. They add so many cool features but then totally whiff on some of the obvious stuff.

I've never been a fan of swype, probably because I can blaze with thumb typing if I have a decent spellcheck. Don't even have to look at the keyboard.
I think it is a jellybean problem, it worket fine for me on ics, it doesn't work on my s3 also after jellybean update, I tried it now but it doesn't add wrong words to the dictionary on s3 , but on note it does!

I've had a lot of issue with the default keyboard. I have it set to predictive and I have Continuous typing active so it works like Swype but it's choice of words is sometime ludicrous. Even when I swipe slowly to each character it will often (25% of the time) give me a word that starts with a letter at the opposite end of the keyboard from where my swipe started.
I have started using the handwritten input for most things as it seems to work so much better than the actual keyboard.
As long as it has taken Samsung to roll out this JB OTA it is surprising the keyboard is so buggy. I reserve the right to totally be doing something wrong but I can't tell what it is.
I find the Google Keyboard maddening. Always requiring mode flipping between keyboard character sets. The AOSP/Android Keyboard has a ton of punctuation readily available by long keypresses which is really convenient.
Am I missing some setting on the Google Keyboard that makes it perform the same way? Having to press three keys in a row to get something besides a letter every time is crazy.
Or does Google just think people type "omg lol cu" all the time? I mean, obviously not given the crazy and incredibly rare word suggestions it makes. (Which incidentally is another peeve!)
Do I have to side load the AOSP keyboard? Wish it was on the Play Store!
I came here to ask this exact question. One post I found suggested that you can swipe from the shift key to the punctuation you want, which is a bit better than {tap shift, tap ?}, for example, but it does seem silly to me to hide so much important punctuation behind another "page" of buttons. Considering loading AOSP as well...
I don't know if you already have, but you guys have got to check out SwiftKey. It's my second most important app.

I used SwiftKey *years* and years ago -- I think it must have been on *Donut* -- and while I liked the idea, when Swype came along I found it was just much faster for me. If SK now supports swipe-typing too, though.... well, that's tempting. I might just try it!

My phone does the same thing. Maybe Google intended it....... Works great in text and email.
Yea it doesn't work in chrome. Most annoying. Was the same in my Nexus 6 on N. Can't remember on M. I may switch out keyboards. But then emoji becomes an issue.
For a good 3 months way back when, I complained daily to Google that I did not want word prediction in a browser, any browser. I wasn't alone; there was a very strong opposition from a large population that auto-corrections made it impossible to enter unique web addresses. For example, trying to enter starbits.com changed to Starbucks.com. In addition, the period created a blank space that you'd have to backspace to remove. However, our suggestion was that word prediction not be enabled in the address bar, but should always be allowed in the text search field. Guess that's harder to execute than previously thought. I don't know why that's so difficult. One would think they just have to set the parameter 'text_word_prediction_enable' flag for the right fields. I know you don't want to use Swype; I use Minuum and it predicts words better than anything. I don't ever look at the keyboard to type. I can be 3 letters off and I can still achieve 95% accuracy. Or you can wait for Xposed to work again if you're rooted, and use the Auto Correct module.
