Setting keyboard "show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show" doesn't work
There is a problem that we are experiencing for long time. Please, star it in order of Google devs see it. Thanks.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39729
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Make sure the Android Keyboard is set as your input method.
2. Navigate to settings > Language & Input > Android Keyboard Settings
3. Set "Show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show"
4. Open Google Now and tap the search box
5. The Android keyboard is displayed, but does not give suggestions
What happened:
When using the Android keyboard, suggestions are not always shown to you as you would expect. A proper description of current "Always show" implementation is "Always show...with some exceptions"
(Note: This is presumably because textNoSuggestions and/or TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS is set for the inputType in the apps where suggestions are not shown)
What you think the correct behavior should be:
1. Keep the current implementation of "Always Show" but rename it "Show when enabled" or just "Enabled" (or anything that doesn't have the finality of "always")
2. Add new implementation of option "Always Show" that ignores the app's preference for showing suggestions and actually ALWAYS show suggestions.
Bump

only suggestion I can give is, stop using any custom roms. they dont focus on this little s***... it woks fine with my straight stock but rooted..
How? I'm using stock rom in my Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus and it's terrible to use the swipe feature of keyboard.
Bump. Still in 4.3.
Bump. Please star it.
for anyone still looking for a solution there is the Kii keyboard on the play store which offer the option to keep the correction bar visible while retaining the same look and feel of the original Google keyboard.
Need some help with this Feature!!
I struggle to have this option work correctly on any of my keyboard apps not only google. Allot of times theres no suggestions and what happens is the auto-correct feature kicks in instead. Now i rather have the correct way to spell a word or options for similuar words above the number keys on my keyboard. But instead theres no suggested words at all and my typing becomes etrocious and words get spelt with numbers randomly placed around and nothing corrects however words do, I guess you say the oppisite of correct? I might type "Thanks" allot and because ive hit "5hnks" hitting "5" by mistake makes the keyboard think "thats a new word, let me add that to my dicitionary" and now "thanks" becomes "5hnks" and many words that begin "Th" are now replaced to "5h" because the keyboard has auto learned Incorrectly thinking its being smart to learn how you type, Does this make any sence? its anoying when i dont cath the mistakes.. I want a better working "Sugested words" Option?
Have you found a solution?
I have tried here:
- Go Keyboard (my favorite)
- Hacker's Keyboard
- Swiftkey Keyboard.
- Cute Emoji Keyboard
Only swiftkey and Cute were able to show predictions/suggestions everywhere.

I have a Droid Incredible running Android 2.1. I am using Vibrate During Meetings to silence the ringer automatically. It has a setting that allows you to only silence the ringer when the event is coded "busy." My problem is I cannot find any place in the calendar application that allows me to set the busy/free indicator. I have looked under every menu and setting and run into a brick wall. I even tried using a couple of other calendar apps (Jorde and Calendar Pad) and still can't find the setting. The developer of Vibrate During Meetings wouldn't have added this feature if you couldn't set this indicator somehow. Can anyone help me with this?
If you make a new event, you can chose below if you are busy or free at the moment, the event is starting. that is the flag, you are looking for.
There's no flag or field related to this on the add new event screen. The only menu choice is "Add Reminder"
Create new event
Input info
Menu
Show Extra Options
Where is "show extra options" at?!

I'm in the exact same situation. Have any solutions been found? I have searched the web for anything mentioning how to resolve this issue, but I can't seem to find anything?!
All I can find is _how_ to ie. make an event private, which is to select the "Show extra options" tab... but it's NOT THERE!?
So, if anyone can help make this option appear on my display, please tell me.

I disabled this keyboard on my input. However, after each reboot, the keyboard will always appear on keyboard input menu. Amd when I go into my settings, the Google Voice typing is not selected. But once I went into the settings, the input will be disabled for the whole session until the next reboot.
Anyone encounter this?
Man, I consider myself a non-noob but for some reason I can't seem to get completion suggestions to show up above my soft keyboard.
I've tried switching keyboards/inputs, etc, I have "show correction suggestions" set, but no matter what keyboard I use nothing shows up above the soft KB. My Droid and S3 work fine. Any ideas?

Lets see, I use thumb keyboard 4, spell checker checked, go into all settings, sound settings to off, haptic feedback on, vibration strength 55 milliseconds, enable key popup feedback checked show completion indicator checked, show cursor key row checked show settings key to always hide, voice input mic on main keyboard, continuous voice recognition checked, auto capitalization checked, auto period checked, quick fixes checked show suggestions checked bigram suggestions checked touch to correct words checked, auto complete checked, insert space checked.
With this keyboard it works great. Now it never shows suggestions for me when the tablet is docked, can't figure that one out yet.
Liking the phone so far, except gesture typing with the android keyboard will not work. I have enabled this in the android keyboard settings, and even tried restarting the phone, with no success. Is this a known issue? Anyone having the same problem?

I have no issue with the app. What is you problem? Is it that when you go to type the regular keyboard is showing? If so hit the globe icon next to the space bar. That will either auto switch to Google Handwriting Input or give you a menu to with the option to choose Google Handwriting Input. If that isn't your problem then please tell us what specific issue you're having.

Sorry, I was not too specific. In the messaging app, or search widget, or any time when the android keyboard pops up, I am unable to use swipe to input text, that is, inputting a word by sliding through the letters. This is in spite of gesture typing being enabled in android keyboard settings. Settings/Language and Input/Android Keyboard/Gesture Typing
Thanks

Oh OK. Yeah it's a known issue. Install the Google Keyboard from the play store. That one works fine.
So I don't know if this is a feature or a bug but I saw that whenever i had the keyboard open i would get a "Select input keyboard" notification (you can see it in the first image). When i open the notifications i get the dialog in the second picture.
So i went straight on disabling all the other keyboards: i disabled Swype and Google app (because of Google Vocal Typing or something like that) from the apps settings so the AOSP keyboard is the only one left (see third image) but again no luck, the notification is still there. I also tried replacing the AOSP keyboard with Google keyboard and ensuring that it was the only one active but it still didn't work. Is this standard Android behavior? Or possibly an Alcatel bug? A bug in my software? That thing is annoying as hell.

I get that dialog when I press a small button to the right of the nav bar (it only appears when the keyboard pops up). Did you try to longpress the notification and then press the "i" symbol, then disable notifications from that source?
I always get that dialog, even with only one keyboard app installed/enabled, so that's not normal.
By the way, i tried disabling the notification but since it comes from Android System itself it cannot be disabled but only set to priority mode.
It drove me crazy for a bit cause I'm a little OCD with my screen, but I just ignore it now.
