OK. So I just just got a BT keyboard, which does not come with Android software (the packaging marketed it for iPhone). I think the brand is "FunGear", but that might be a no-name / Shanzhai / OEM thin. Anyway...it works pretty well. I just wrote out a 3 page business proposal on my Samsung SGS (with Froyo) at Starbucks using the keyboard.
However, there seem to be some bugs. When I use the keyboard, my phone tells me I need to use the default Samsung Keyboard. Its pretty basic. Furthermore, there are weird things that happen, like:
*it stops responding when Gmail does an auto-save
*sometimes it goes into all cap-lock mode and won't get out until I hit that on the screen.
*some characters seem wrong.
*there is screen down / screen up alt keys, but they don't seem to work.
The keyboard uses what's called the HID profile.
My question is: is there a utility or software keyboard which was made specifically for working with bluetooth keyboards which allow customization?
I havn't come across one but rather i found a edited keyboard.xml file that helped with my kb and its custom keys.
Hi, I've just updated my P3110 to Android 4.0.4 via KIES. The new keyboard is great but there is no sound on touch even though I enabled this option in settings. System sounds are also set to max and of course silent mode is switched off And general sound on touch works flawlessly (the new one, like in Galaxy S3) only keyboard is silent. Can anyone confirm this issue? Cheers.
Try setting/keyboard or language and setting and try to find samsung keyboard and see its setting (of keyboard) and try to tick and apply sound on press or so
I do not have stock rom i have cm so can not see options exactly sorry
Or Try 3rd party keyboard as go keyboard (beautiful themes)
Sent from Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Tab2
As I said, the keyboard sound option is enabled but still there's no effect at all. I just find it strange and wonder whether it's a bug or something got messed up with my update.
I've been running Synergy for some time now on my Verizon S3, but the new rotating home/lockscreen gets quite annoying (unlock your phone with a pattern while laying down or reclined, or when it's anything but vertical)
Alternate homescreen (Apex, etc) has easily solved this problem, however I am looking for a lockscreen I can install without messing up anything in the ROM itself. Does anyone have any suggestions a new lockscreen if possible?
He is working on the rotation issue on the lock screen I know for sure. I think he may be adding alternate lock/home screen support in the near future as well.
Hi. I have a the G920I version.
Samsung keyboard suddenly transforms and many features is gone. I can't find Autocorrection and gesture typing and many features in the keyboard settings and also language switching right now is a button.I tried to clear data but the problem still persists. I'm on stock rom, not rooted. Its so weird and its annoying mee. I'll leave some screenshots down.
Hello guys,
I have tried with default Samsung Keyboard and tried with Swiftkey and noticed that when I am typing certain words like "Allergy" or "Where" for example, it suddenly interrupts the swipe pattern and changes the word to "All" with space next to it as if there was an error registering the touch gesture as I touch each key on the keyboard. It seems that this happens a lot near the letter G.
This does not happen on my S21 ultra. Tried without screen protector, and same issue so its not the protector. Tried *#0*# and did a display Touch test and it registered everything perfectly. Tried clearing cache/data no luck. Tried disabling/enabling auto correct and no luck either.
Does anyone have this erratic typing issue?
Hello mate, yes I also have this issue, on any of the keyboard, I tried Samsung stock keyboard, gboard, microsoft keyboard, some other mates are also experiencing this issue in Yandex keyboard.
maybe you can use google translate, but this is russian forum https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1029360&st=4120#entry114129735 here is the example
also another mate already reported the problem to the samsung members and they acknowledged it
Samsung SM-S908B Galaxy S22 Ultra - Обсуждение - 4PDA
Samsung SM-S908B Galaxy S22 Ultra - Обсуждение, Смартфон, 6.8

It is a feature, the new text prediction is by GRAMMARLY, but like in this forum, doesn't work well and the cursor goes crazy.
Solution, TURN OFF PREDICTIVE TEXT.
nah, disabling predictive text does not help.
Exactly same issue on S22U exynos! Very, very annoying.
Any other better alternative keyboard ?
the only solution here is not to use swipe feature of the keyboard, as this issue appears on ANY keyboards (personally tested).
I would suggest Fleksy, as it is designed to type manually, and wait for a fix of this problem.
personally, it is one of the serious reasons to sell this phone (sadly)...
There's a thread in the Samsung members app about the same exact thing, it started with the April update. I haven't gotten the May update yet, I'm hoping it will fix it but I don't have that high of hopes. It's definitely a software bug though.
Did anyone try to rollback to a March firmware?
Also, if someone received May update, could someone confirm that issue is resolved?
Thanks
it is NOT fixed, yet...
UP.
Seems like swype is fixed with the newest update S908BXXU2AVEH.
I'm currently on it and checking that everything is good.
Can someone confirm that?
I've experienced the same wonkiness described by the OP with SwiftKey on both my S22 Ultra and Tab S7. In fact it happened while typing this on my Tab S7. I'm not able to consistently replicate it though. Or at least not able to purposely replicate it.
Okay so I've been experiencing this same issue and this is everything I've found so far.
The issue is when swype typing on any keyboard. I enabled touch pointer in dev options to see exactly what was going on the screen and what's happening is for example when swype typing the word "everything" the screen recognizes when touch the E and begin moving towards the V but it loses the touch and detects it again so it thinks you finished typing a word and started again therefore the word EV is put on the screen and a new word is started. This is very aggravating. I've noticed that it happens a lot with words starting with E, A, W, S and if you notice those are all in the same area of the keyboard.
What I've done to fix it. I use film screen protectors instead of glass. I thought the SP were too thick and it was messing with the touch sensitivity but i tried several and nothing changed. I tried various settings in the phone especially the touch sensitivity option for screen protectors and turning it on definitely helped but the issue remained.
What i did was take the screen protector off completely, leave the touch sensitivity option enabled in settings and the issue is completely gone. So the issue lies somewhere with the sensitivity of the screen and screen protectors limiting the touch sensitivity.
This is all I've got so maybe this info will help anyone having the same issues. Hopefully Samsung will adjust the sensitivity in upcoming updates.
No worries, mates
This issue was fixed with June update
I have already installed it, running for 3 days, everything is working great, no problems with swipe typing
S908BXXU2AVEH
I can confirm also that the issue was fixed in the latest update.
