Hey,
does anyone know how to disable the seperate key on the lollipop keyboard if you have more than one input language enabled? It used to be possible to disable it from keyboard settings, but i can not find that option anymore. But you can still switch languages with the space key, so it only takes up space.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Anybody? I was looking for an answer to this too and ended up here. There's literally 3 ways to do this directly from the keyboard in L. There's the language switch button next to the space bar, the new soft key on the bottom right next to the multi tasking button, and there's long pressing the space bar itself. I'm all for some redundancy, but this is just wasteful and space consuming.
At the very least, bring the option back from kitkat to turn off the language switch key to the left of the space bar. I'd love that space freed up again.
I would really like to know as well, SwiftKey is lagging terribly so I am using Goggle keyboard for now, but holy crap that language switch button is annoying! I keep pressing it instead of comma because I need both English and danish when i type
Looking around but nothing found I was thinking to move to another keyb waitnig for an update.
Thats's very 'idiot' to propose three ways then also the switch by the space is easy to press by mistake
The added key by the multitaks is great
This is very annoying for me when using swiftkey. I accidently always swipe over this keyboard button. It would be really helpful to disable this button as it was in kitkat.

Google please fix this
Im having the same annoying issue
I have a moto g and Im agree is stupid have 3 ways to change languages
I too ended up here while looking for ways to disable the annoying language switch button. I could understand its function if we didn't have the long-press option of the space bar to switch languages, but it's ridiculous to not have an option to hide the button.
So... Still no solution?
Maybe if someone is able to decompile the google keyboard.apk and disable it from there, I don't know. It's very funny that Google developers doesn't use 1+ languages in their tests, otherwise they'll know.
Language & input -> Current keyboard -> Choose Keyboards -> Turn off any enabled keyboards (you will not be able to disable Google Keyboard)

Not sure what you mean. We are talking about Google keyboard with multiple languages enabled because we want to use more than 1 language.
When you have multiple languages enabled, the "Switch keyboard" icon appears.
Your solution doesn't work, the language switched button still appears on the keyboard.
I had this same problem when i had the A.I. Type keyboard installed and the issue disappeared entirely when I uninstalled it.

I thought I turned all T9 and word completion off everywhere I found, but still when writing SMS I see this bar at bottom of the screen echoing my typing. It also has + sign on right.
So this is T9 right? How the hell do I get rid of it?
Hi Taajuus,
I have a 'T9' printed on the SPACE key of the slide out keyboard, you can reach through the 'FN' key.
So in SMS typing mode with the slide out Keyboard, press FN - Space, a pop up menu appears where you can configure T9 settings.
Hope that helps

There should be a slider on the actual on-screen keyboard itself to deselect T9. Give that a shot.
Yes! That did the trick, thank you!
Still there was no option to simple tick off T9, but i chose ABC and my problem was solved

Thanks a lot as well!
Brilliant this has been annoying me too... as usual a simple answer to the most annoying problems...
I recently started using shapewriter on my Nexus one. Not really sure why it gets a bad wrap since after I got used to it, I can type about twice as fast with fewer errors as using a regular soft keyboard or keyboard replacement which was welcome since I lost my HW G1 keyboard switching to Nexus. And hell it's free and legal. But I had a couple of quick questions in case anybody else on here uses it.
1. Sometimes I want to use the regular android keyboard for apps like terminal, is there a menu key to let me switch to the android keyboard. On the regular keyboard it's just hold down 123 button and switch inputs. I can't seem to find an equivalent in shapewriter unless I go back to the android settings page and shutoff shapewriter manually in there.
2. anyway to set a gesture to launch the voice input stuff since there isn't a voice input shortcut on the keyboard.
Thanks!

I'm looking for a keyboard that has the secondary characters over the primary ones as well as the voice input key.
I didn't like shapewriter and better keyboard seems to be missing the voice input keys.
Like the stock keyboard, but hate having to push a seperate key to get numbers and then again for the letters.
To change the keyboard just hold down on the text field until the menu pops up and select input method

That is a very useful tip and almost exactly what I need. The one app that tip doesn't seem to work for is terminal, which is the app I mainly need to switch back to the stock keyboard as it is the only one supported. or perhaps I should find a better terminal program.
Though its not as good as the HTC IME keyboard with a Voice to Text, a Long press on '.' will bring up a menu to select punctuation. I just found this out yesterday.
so has anybody else noticed that the word prediction (when having the phone keyboard set to regular touch input and not Swype) doesn't regularly show up when using the hardware keyboard?
I've noticed that, in order to get the word prediction going when using the hardware keyboard, I'll first have to close the keyboard, start typing with the on-screen keyboard to initiate the word prediction, and then open the keyboard and resume typing, at which point the word prediction continues..does anybody else have this issue?
I havent noticed that yet. Although most of the time I enter a program and after I get frustrated trying to type on screen I switch to keyboard.
I remember having a similar issue, although it only seemed to happen to me when entering into the messaging app sometimes. It was a mild annoyance. However, it completely went away when I installed swiftkey X. I highly recommend you get it. Imo more than worth the money. It's the fastest and most accurately predicting keyboard I've tried, particularly with hardware support.
It doesn't seem to be working for me very well, but do make sure you enabled correction by going to:
Settings > Language & Keyboard >Touch Input > Hardware Keyboard Settings > Prediction.

Hi Sinfamy, thanks, I did make sure that that setting was enabled. The prediction does show up, but again, only after I've first started typing with the touch keyboard in portrait mode first...if I start off an email or SMS with the hardware keyboard open, the prediction never kicks in.
I'm also gonna give swiftkey x a try and see if that helps.
swiftkey x is working great, and it seems like it'll be really good with its predictions too...thanks for the suggestion!
The best thing about SwiftKey is that it only gets better the more you use it! Keep in mind that although you cannot enter your personal dictionary and edit it like you can with other keyboards, if a prediction you don't like keeps popping up, you can press and hold the prediction to remove it.

nice, thanks for the tip napilopez..
is anybody else using keyboard manager to switch between keyboards for landscape and portrait, and finding predictions not showing up properly?
Hi all
I have been setting up my phone since hard resetting it.
I am sure before reset it i had the google voiceicon highlighted on the bottom left of the keyboard. Now that key has EN highlighted on it and it takes a long press to activate the voice app
does anyone know how to resolve this or create a shortcut
Thanks
Settings>Language and Keyboard/Keyboard Input> Android Keyboard > Mic on main keyboard
usaff22
thanks for that but when i go to the language and keyboard setting page i get the options of
spelling correction
default (set to touch input) i cant see any options for android keyboard and then the mic option
It is possible that i disabled that it my clean up of apps any idea of what it would be called?
thanks
just got my Nexus 5 and really digging it so far.
The one thing I seem to be missing is the voice input key on the stock android keyboard, i still have the option checked for it in settings but all that is in its place now is a comma and with a hold down press just the settings button. it really bums me out i used to use that feature daily on my 4. so this morning i did a factory reset because it was there as i was setting up the phone. what it seemed to me was when i went to the input settings and disabled vibrate on keypress it disappeared and won't come back. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to bring it back?
You need to tick Google voice typing in language and input as an input option as well
you are on the ball! that did it! thanks for helping out a fool so quickly
You're welcome. I keep pressing it by accident because I'm used to the comma key being there on the cm keyboard on my N4.
Only just discovered that pretty much all the symbol keys have long press options, even though they don't display any subset options like the number keys.
This also fixed it for me! Cool
