How to get rid of "word completion" in SMS ?

I thought I turned all T9 and word completion off everywhere I found, but still when writing SMS I see this bar at bottom of the screen echoing my typing. It also has + sign on right.
So this is T9 right? How the hell do I get rid of it?

Hi Taajuus,
I have a 'T9' printed on the SPACE key of the slide out keyboard, you can reach through the 'FN' key.
So in SMS typing mode with the slide out Keyboard, press FN - Space, a pop up menu appears where you can configure T9 settings.
Hope that helps

There should be a slider on the actual on-screen keyboard itself to deselect T9. Give that a shot.

Yes! That did the trick, thank you!
Still there was no option to simple tick off T9, but i chose ABC and my problem was solved

[App][Shortcut] Voice Input ?

I use Swype, which doesn't have the voice input key. (I just checked out the Droid X yesterday, which does have the microphone key on their Swype keyboard, sigh...)
Anyway, is there any app or shortcut to activate voice input on any text field WITHOUT long pressing and switching keyboards?
An app that inserts "Speech Input" into any long press menu would be fine, but I'm not sure if that's possible since I believe each app controls their own long presses...? Again, looking for something that doesn't require switching keyboards.

Swype will release a new version with the voice button already announce working on it

Good idea. A 'dictate' long-press option for text boxes.
Shouldn't be much code but figuring out where to add it is the hard part.

Is a text field long press individual to each app, or is it system-wide?

Interested in this as well. Its the only reason I haven't completely switched from the HTC IME keyboard

Appears to be system wide

Ooh, awesome. Could be a nice addition to CM?

[Q] vegan 5.1b word completion bug

Hi
I have noticied that the word completion is missing all words. When typing only my contacts are shown as sughestions. Previous versions did not have this issue. Btw i have my kb set to auto complete and if i add my own woeds they show.

this is a known issue with no easy fix yet. Use the tnt keyboard if you want auto complete, but it has no sound on key press.

How do I switch between the two KB?

You long press in any textbox until Input Method comes up and then choose the keyboard you want to use.

While in a text entry field do a long press. Select the option Input method. All installed keyboards will appear.

If the long press din't show the keyboards you have like swype or thumb then you have to enable them from settings->keyboard to be shown by the long press.

[Q] Auto-correct qwerty keyboard?

I've checked the box to turn on predictive, but doesn't work? Any ideas?

First, go into the messaging app and open a text conversation without sliding the keyboard out. Then long-press the text input box and choose "touch" instead of swype. Then exit out of that, go into settings > languages and keyboard > and the touch input option needs to read "standard." Also go into one of the other screens and turn on text prediction and spell check (if you want) for QWERTY keyboard.
Now go back into the text messaging screen and it should work.
I don't want to tell you how long it took me to get it to work. It's nice of them to tell me that when the keyboard is slid out certain menu options aren't available that you need to access in order to turn on certain features for said keyboard...

I don't have the option for auto-correct on the hardware keyboard.

unnclespoon, you rock!
@unclespoon, thanks a MILLION. This answered a lot of questions for me. I was going round and round in all the menus trying to find auto-correct. Lame that you actually have to enable this menus from an actual message.

The only reason you need to open a message is to be able to switch from "Swype" to "Touch Input". You can do this on ANY text entry field, though.
For the auto-correct and prediction options, you can go (from the Home screen) Menu, Settings, Language and Keyboard, Touch Input, Hardware Keyboard Settings, then tick the box to enable Prediction.
Edit: Note that you HAVE to have "Touch Input" enabled instead of Swype for the touch-screen software keyboard, or prediction won't work on the hardware qwerty, even with "Prediction" enabled in the menus.

Handwriting

I can't seem to get the Note to move into any kind of handwriting mode (other than S Note and similar apps). I'd hoped to be able to use handwriting in Office, gmail, text messaging, etc. Any suggestion?

split screen with s note then copy and paste or share via....

I don't have a note 10.1 (yet!), but want to know if you write a complete page of notes using handwriting can it be turned into a text document using software on the device?

when you click on a text field and the keyboard pops up, there is a button with a T on it to the left of the space bar. Hit that and the handwriting recognition input comes up.

I haven't got mine yet - arrives tomorrow, so this answer is based on what happens with the Note 5.3 that I do have. There is a setting for the Samsung keyboard which switches to handwriting input when the pen is detected. Have a look to see if that is a setting on 10.1 too. It is under Settings->Language and input-> Samsung keyboard->Pen detection

Just a minor addition to this. The T might not be there - it might be a cog, or a microphone. There are three dots on that button. Press and hold the button, and you get a popup offering you text input, handwriting input, speech input, or configuration. So there are four options, and depending what the button is currently set to, pressing and holding gives you access to the other three options.
