Hello all,
After the update Jelly Bean on my HOXL (update OTA in Switzerland), my original HTC keyboard has a small problem or bug.
In fact, I am used to this keyboard and don't suggest other keyboards please, thanks for understanding. So, I use it in "Phone" type and always with option xt9.
Before - when I was typing a sms f.ex. in WhatsApp (mode xt9) and clicked on "send", the mode xt9 remained active.
Now - when I type a text message (mode xt9) and click "send", the mode will change to "ABC".
The result, for each ligne I must click on "xt9" --> it's pretty annoying.
Have you noticed the same problem? How to fix this bug to have the selected option "xt9" always active, as before with ICS ?
Thank you for your answers
Have you checked setting, language an keyboard then type?

Hi,
Yes of course, all options are well configured.

Had to ask of course...
Have you chosen that keyboard from the toast notification that pops up when you go into a text entry field, an same result?
I don't know other then perhaps to go to options and clear the default app setting for HTC Sense input.
Back up your personal dictionary before clearing defaults just in case.

Everything you suggested is done, but notihing changed ....
It may turn out like other things in JB an has been removed by HTC like scrolling wall papers.
I don't have anything else to offer other then remove second party apps like Sms apps an testing it further.

I was wondering if anyone had installed the stock android keyboard on their MT4G successfully?
I installed a custom HTC keyboard from gimpsta.com, but after selecting it as my keyboard in Settings, I still get the swype keyboard.

Long press on a text input field, e.g. browser field, message body field, email body field, etc, select "INPUT," then chose the keyboard of your liking. The Touch Input keyboard is HTC's, though, not default Android.
D'oh!
Thank you!! Works perfect.
The keyboard I am using is the HTC IME with a customized skin from gimpsta.com.
Works perfect. I like having my number keys all in a row, also mic input now an option and smiley emoticon button is there.

Thanks for this, I spent hours looking for this in settings. Do you know if its possible to download and install the "default" Android keyboard?

You can use smart keyboard pro which has the skin for the default android keyboard plus others like iphone,htc, and different colors for the default keyboard.

You can also activate the vlingo keyboard if you use it.

I just want the normal swype keyboard that had the microphone and similies button. How did you go about getting it?
For anyone else that is doing the Swype beta v3 is it saving words to the dictionary? Mine isn't.

in your swype settings, do you have word prediction ticked?
you always need to tick that on installing! lol
so just go to keyboard setting, or tap the swype key when your writing then pres options, andmake sure its ticked
. that should cure it.
word suggestion& auto-correction are on.

definitely puzzling. Did you download a new installer. Then the beta. If you downloaded english spanish beta. Try fill or vice versa
Swyped from my HTC Sensation Pyramid using my thumb and eyes
I tried both. i even uninstalled, cleared all swype data & tried that, no dice. charging phone now to do a hard reset & see if that works
Just did a hard reset & still getting this stupid bug.
For me to add a new word that doesn't exists, I first have to manually type it and select it on the word suggestion bard (because auto correct will try to suggest a "correct" word). After I select the word, the option to "add <word> to dictionary" will appear for me on the word suggestion bar and pressing it will add it to the dictionary (Somewhat like stock gingerbread keyboard).
yeah I do that & it says that it added the word, yet when I reswipe it it's not added. I can do this 10 times in a row & it still won't stick
So I'm apparently an idiot & my Swype does work. I was under the impression that when it said 'Add "xnifex" to the dictionary' it was notifying me that that's what it was doing. I wasn't aware that you had to tap that notification for it to work. On the HD2 if you manually type in a word it's automatically added to the dictionary so I thought it was the same behavior. Yay for the swype team helping me out.

Did you actually clicked on "add <word> to dictionary"? Unlike on Froyo, where Swype saves a word after hitting space, now the users have to confirm the action by clicking on the right above the keyboard.
I was so used to the old swype, it took me 2 days to realize that...

Yep, now I know this too. Had the admin brian over on the swype forums tell me about it. I'm used to the old swype as well.

Lol well done mate
Swyped from my HTC Sensation Pyramid using my thumb and eyes
I'd just like to add that I had this problem, I was tapping to add to dictionary and there were literally no words in the dictionary, it was basically a tap keyboard. I uninstalled with Titanium Backup, then installed the Full version instead of the English/Other language one. This one has a dictionary and will save new words to it.
Thanks guys, I learned something new today;-)
Swyped from HTC Pyramid, using XDA Premium App.
I just want to say that I had the exact same issue as the OP. I thought that it was automatically adding the words to the dictionary, but some bug prevented them from appearing or something. I just wasn't clicking the "Add "word" to dictionary".
To be fair, it's not very clear on the UI that it's something that you can or should press. It doesn't have a question mark at the end, which would make you realise that it's ASKING you something, not telling you something.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Swype is the best. My only problem is the word bar above the keyboard. I find it distracting, and hard to get used to. I've looked everywhere trying to find a way to turn it off. Besides that, swype is 1,000x better than what comes with the sensation.

LISTEN EVERYONE..to solve the problem download a app called ''SMS to swype'' and it picks up every word you type from all the keyboards you used and saves them to the dictionary SOLVED

Turn off the word suggestion?

Hi all,
I realized that the keyboard closes in SMS after each message is sent. I personally find this annoying. Any settings that I am overlooking to fix this?
Thanks!
I think this is the default action for all keyboards, not just the stock HTC one. Therefore, there wouldn't be a universal option not to do this. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yup, it does the same with stock keyboard or SwiftkeyX. Was hoping there's some sort of SMS preferences/setting that I overlooked
It gets annoying if you have to type a few messages!
Agreed, this is pretty annoying. I am thinking it not a keyboard problem but a problem with the messaging app
I'm sorry if this has been asked already, but for the life of me I can't change the stock keyboard on my One X to a different on. I have downloaded a keyboard but can't find in the settings how to change it. This sense 4.0 is different then sense 3.6
Can someone give me detailed instructions on how to change the keyboard?
Where it always is: Settings ==> Language and Keyboard.
Typically the keyboard app you download will go over setting it up when the app is launched from your app drawer.

it took me a second to figure it out, too. start typing in any app. at the top will be a keyboard icon in the notification bar. drag down the drawer and touch "select input".
from there, you can change the keyboard.
Whenever I want to save a word in dictionary it always gives this pop up to confirm it. How do I turn this thing off?
In GB and ICS all you have to do was "click again" on the word to save in dictionary but now it gives this pop up after clicking again it's hugely annoying. I have looked in the options but didnt find anything how can I get rid of this?
Yeap....I wanna know if we can disable this also....really annoying!! Haven't found an option to remove this.
Wouldn't it send you off to the keyboard settings to save new words in the past?
brainmaster disable it on ics here

No man just a simple double click right there above the keyboard.

In ICS if you click on the word from among the 3 words above the keyboard then it wont give a pop up so it really wasnt a problem in ICS.
This is a new feature in JB, and yes, I miss the ICS way where clicking on the word choices at the bar above the keyboard will already save the word in your personal dictionary. I think implementing that popup is just redundant IMHO.
