I've had my touch pro for a few days now after upgrading from a wm6.1 Tytn II but no matter what i try i can't get word suggestion to come up with anything when using on-screen keyboard. I've gone through all the settings i can think of. Anybody else having this trouble?
Same here. Tried in the regular settings, as well as in Advanced Config, but to no avail...
Ok here is a fix that i found. When you turn on the on screen qwerty keyboard you have to switch off t9 and switch it to abc. This has worked for me for both on screen and hardware keyboard. Hope this helps

Standard keyboard does have any word completion dictionaries installed for the Diamond or the touch Pro.
If you want word completion, you need to use the full QWERTY htc keyboard, not the standard WinMo keyboard.
Problem persists...
Turned off T9, switched to "ABC", ans I am using the hardware keyboard. The same problem persists. The black line still appears at the bottom of the screen, when I type something it appears both at the "correct" location plus on the bottom black line. If I make the mistake of using the keyboard arrows - crash boom bang. A lot of words appear near my cursor. And the funny part is that I always have to read my SMS before sending it: this magnificent auto completion method somehow finds a way of adding unwanted words somewhere in the message body. It is *very* annoying.
I don't always use English when I type a message, and, horror: sometimes I even don't use punctuation, because I'm in a hurry.
Did you try to go in the T9 options and untick everything, and go in settings -> Inout -> Word completion and untick everything as well?
Full QWERTY and T9 on for me works!!!
Hi, i was wondering if anyone came across this annoying aspect of the keyboard.
When chatting in an IM app (skype/IM+) the keyboard hides itself after pressing enter. Is there a way to stop this from happening? It gets annoying having to bring up the keyboard again and again and again.
Sometimes I'd like to use the on-screen keyboard while the tablet is docked (use thumb keyboard and would like to access the text shortcuts). Anyone know how to do this? Don't see anything in settings, but maybe I'm missing something, or maybe there's a hack. Help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I would also like that feature

When in a text field with the tablet docked. tap the little keyboard icon in the notification bar next to the dock icon, and turn Use Physical keyboard off. Then the onscreen keyboard will come up. However you will still be able to use the physical keyboard, but the onscreen keyboard will pop up.

Can't believe I missed that. Thanks a ton!!!
Is there a way to stop the virtual keyboard from popping up on screen when it is in the keyboard dock, also is there a way to stop the text I am writing into the stock browser from dissapearing under the full screen keyboard when typing?
Thanks
I couldn't find a way, but I got round it by clicking the v on the bottom menu (Next to home) which closes the onscreen keyboard down. Its a bit of a faff tbh. But at least you can get to type on fullscreen. To see what you're typing, just use the arrow keys/the text tag and scroll down.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? It is so annoying. Everytime i touch the screen to edit, the virtual keyboard pops up. I use the up/down keyboard Key, below the Enter Key on the virtual keyboard to minimize the virtual keyboard. I have cheked the settings and there is no option to disable the virtual keyboard. Any suggestions anyone?
I don't have a dock but use a bluetooth keyboard from time to time. To avoid the same problem I have installed null keyboard from Google Play store which works well for me.
Works brilliantly thanks just what i was after. I've got the note docked and the keyboard hasn't appeared on screen once while typing this. Only thing i had to do was set it to the default keyboard first in the settings under input.
Having owned a Asus Transformer I'm used to how well the hardware keyboard works and particularly how it always disables the softkey keyboard whenever I was using the hardware keyboard.
I've been frustrated with the Samsung Dock in that it never disables the softkey keyboard. Seems any keyboard will force the Note back to the Samsung Keyboard if you have something else selected. I've used Tasker to detect my bluetooth keyboard, delay a few seconds, and then switch to "null keyboard" and then back again to my preferred softkey keyboard when I turn off my bluetooth keyboard.
One problem is that Tasker doesn't have anything that works with detecting the Samsung Keyboard dock. I wish the tablet would just automatically disable the softkey keyboard when I have the OEM keyboard dock attached. Afterall, why would I want both? Besides the annoying use of screen real estate there is some bug where occasionally a popup appears saying "US English" and then I lose whatever keystroke I was typing when that comes up.
Anyone else using the keyboard dock seeing issues like this? Does anyone know of a way to disable the softkey keyboard when I've attached the samsung keyboard dock?
I use External keyboard helper. It should let you switch to a null keyboard when an external keyboard is connected. You still have to choose it as input method by clicking on the pop-up sincd apparently Android does not allow automatic switching for security reasons.
Also, sometimes it wouldn't make the switch back after disconnecting, so I set up a Tasker profile that offers you the choice of input options every time bluetooth keyboard is connected. Now it's just one click to switch it in or off.

You actually can have Android switch input methods if you have root and are using Tasker. You have to use Secure Settings plugin to do this but it works great. Problem is I just can't get tasker to notice this keyboard (works great with my BT keyboard) and besides the point, I was hoping Samsung would have better integration with their own hardware.
