I enjoy using the Google keyboard but hate that if I want to use Spanish on it, I have to deal with the dreaded keyboard notification. If only comes on if I use different t input languages under the Google keyboard settings.
My question is, can I get rid of it and still use both languages? Un-rooted that is. I don't understand why it has to be there when you can switch by using the space bar or the language change button! In the past I've just dealt with it. But I really would love not to with the N5

What do you mean? I use Dutch and English as keyboard languages but I don't get any 'dreaded keyboard notification'.
If I use anything else but this setting, the keyboard input switcher pops up on my notification bar every time I use the keyboard if I select English and Spanish it pops up. If I have it like this it doesn't, but then I can't hold down the space bar and switch to Spanish.

Ah right, now I know what you meant. Afaik, this not possible with stock. I know CM allows you to disable it.

Working great for me on 2.1 Darch Legend V.5.
You need to install the .apk, then go into settings >> keyboard >> enable swiftkey
Next you need to go into swiftkey settings and download a language pack.
After all that, long press on a text entry box and select SwiftText.
So far it is pretty great at predicting what I am about to type in 2 letters or so. I love Swype..but I am willing to give this a try for awhile.

I have not had any problems using it on DamageRegaw ROM. I think I downloaded straight to phone from the email link I received and then just installed using ES file explorer.
I hope that helps. Word prediction on this keyboard is interesting.

Look in settings >> language and keyboard >> and then under the sub-heading "Text Settings" there is a selection box next to the name "Swift Key". This is the same menu that you get into the Swift Key settings at (the check box is not within the Swift Key settings).

thats just it there is no box to enable it. nor is there one for the stock android one or the htc keyboard. they are all lined up but no enable. tried to reset after i installed and phone locked up so dont think it will work on dc v2 or maybe its just the damagetrev im running which is a faster version of dc v2
Eh, its better then stock, but once you try swype, its hard to type with anything else. If only swype had the voice thing like stock android, that would be awesome
OMFG!!! that looks awesome. so here's the question, if i want it how hard is it to try and then if i don't like it how hard to get rid of it?

I'm faster with Swype than a physical keyboard. I have installed it for two G1 owners recently after they got a hold of my phone.
No problems with darchlegendv5 I tested by just pushing space and if typed this " up to the business of Parity shall be liable for the use of the individual or entity to which it is a bit of a man they are trying to trace in connection with the word. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person." Exactly what I wanted to type. Crazy smart keyboard, but I think it's pretty nice thus far just a little slow.

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

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.
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?3769-Can-t-add-words-to-dictionary-on-brand-new-install
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...

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?
sent from HTC Sensation
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?

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.

I know this isn't specifically an issue towards the One but I'm wondering if anyone knows a fix? I'm having a very annoying issue where if I were to type "dont" and press the space button, it auto-corrects it to "Dont" and not "don't". I'm using the stock keyboard.
I've tried to go into the keyboard settings and erasing the word from my personal dictionary but it's not in there to begin with. I've also tried clearing the cache and data from the keyboard but it's still there.
Anyone know a solution to this irritating issue (besides using a different keyboard)?'
Edit: I've also tried clearing the search engine storage to no avail. :\
Type "dont" and then look at your predictive predictions and when you see "Dont"... longpress on it and then erase it from the predictive dictionary.

I'm using the US English dictionary. Strange enough, if I were to type "Dont"(in the case that it's the beginning of a sentence), it'll auto-correct it to "Don't" but if it's "dont" anywhere within a sentence, it'll become "Dont".

Hello everybody,
since the upgrade to Android 6 I had problem with the Google keyboard, basically I can't choose any language but English (US) and Tibetan!
I tried to download old versions of Google keyboard through APKmirror but the only result is that I don't get anymore Tibetan as option.
Logcat doesn't give any useful information.
Upgrading another H60-L12 of a friend we encountered the very same issue.

I need at least Italian, but I was used to have few other languages that I use less often
and I'm studying. It's very strange that I can't see the other dictionaries...
Of course now I'm using SwiftKey but I prefer gboard, I find it much more faster and comfortable.
I got the same problem. It's crashing when I try to access the settings.
I use German and English. But when I'm typing only English dictionary is available although I see "DE EN" in the space bar.
But I cannot switch between these languages.
I've also installed APK manually but this didn't help either.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
From Gboard
Hold the comma key.
Select languages.
Turn off Use System Language.
Select the language you need
Hold space bar to select languages
Quite surprising you're getting only two language options. Not so for me. I'm using H60 L04

I've done as described. I can switch now language but the dictionary is still English only.
When I hold comma key and select Gboard settings and try to get into menu item "settings" then it crashes again. The same when I try to access "advanced settings".
So Gboard is still failing.

The latest version that I see on the play store has been published on 10 Jan and it has the problem described at the beginning.
I found a newer version (not sure about the origin, it has a different icon) on apkmirror but it has problems with the resolution and in any case the dictionary problem is still there.
Did you find a working version?
