[Q] Keyboard dock, wrong symbol input. - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, sorry if this a repost but i don't know how to search this exactly. Tried everything.
My keyboard inputs 2 and 3, when pressed with shift input, " and £ instead of @ and #.
Maybe i messed in the language input?
I am using KatKiss, on Lollipop.
Cheers.

Sounds like you've got the UK keyboard layout selected. Go into Settings, into "Language and Input" and select the US version under "asusdec". The option won't show unless you have your keyboard dock connected
We don't make mistakes, We just have happy accidents.

[Q] Auto change keyboard input when dock connected.

I currently use the thumb keyboard, and this is a potential problem that i could bring up with their developers. But currently the problem i have is when using the tablet(undocked) i use thumb keyboard, when i then dock the tablet the input method is still set to thumb, the dock and everything works except it is in a US layout, annoyingly " and @ are swapped. To fix this everytime i have to click the keyboard icon in the notification bar and select asus english uk keyboard.
Anybody know of an app in development to automatically switch this, and back again when undocked.
Or does anybody know the code to detect docking and undocking? and i could try write something.
Cheers

I think at this stage you'll have to change it manually, I'm not aware of anything such as an app that can change it automatically based the whether the dock is connected.

How to make android keyboard show suggestion but never auto type them

My coworker just got an Android (HTC Desire HD) and she was wondering if there was a way to let the suggestions appears as she type but to avoid to auto accept those. Since most of the time they are not accurate something a la Windows Phone.
I am a noob when it comes to Android(had an iPhone and now WP7), I tried to play with her phone settings but seems she can turn off the auto suggestion or not. Is there a keyboard she can install or something she can do to have this setting?
Settings > Language & Keyboard > Touch Input > Text Input > Prediction.
You should then be able to un-check Prediction.
Hope it helps.
actually if I rember well that turn of Prediction what I was after is show prediction but don't use those words except if I click on them.

Something like that. It's annoying that the Android keyboard suggest words as you type and use them without my approval. I want to be able to type see suggestion but choose if I want to use them or not. Hope I am clear.
Try
Menu, Settings, Language & keyboard, Keyboard settings, then uncheck "show suggestions"
Change key board to one with more settings this one is my favorite http://www.mediafire.com/?tmm3tymgdzz

I guess you need an unlocked device for that (or whatever you call it in the Android world). If it is the case that thread can be closed I'll let my coworker that it's not possible since I doubt she'll "unlock" her device
Unlock = root

Hi,
I use SlideIt all the time,and it can sometimes be awkward to get going when I load up a new ROM.
I have found that it takes a few install/uninstall/install/uninstall/install before it will go right through the load-up menus.
Just persevere.
Hi,
Sadly I did that 5-7 times, but still swiftkey won't work :'(

Hi,
Not sure about swiftkey,as I have never used it.
Try SlideIt.
I am sure there is a free version to test.
I change between swiftkey x and thumboard.
After enabling your keyboards from the settings and confirmed that they are checked. Go to a browser bar to type something and before typing, long press about 3 seconds in the area. Another window should come up labled "input method". Selecting that will bring up a window with all your selected keyboards. Select the one you want and you're good to go.

[Q] How to turn off spelling correction (in SMS) ?

I'm not sure if this was asked before but how to disable this crap of a function. It is utterly useless and annoying. I'm sending sms in 3 languages but it keeps correcting **** to english and even auto-capitalize everything and make my sms become some completely non-sense crap. (e.g : roi -> ROI. i don't even know wtf ROI stands for).
I have already unchecked "Spelling corretion" in language and keyboard.
So i don't want any correction and suggestion for my words because i can type fast and accurately. Is this even possible? Thank you.

Give this a trie: When in a message, tap the language button (next to the keyboard button) You will see the selected language, now tap settings.
Here you can change settings like textinput, two language prediction etc.
If you tap textinput you can turn off spellingcorrection, prediction etc.
Hope this helps, good luck.
Ok. here how to do it in motorola XT926 with 4.1.2
while on texting, swipe down the screen, then click "chose input method" - English then 'set up input method, then click rotary next to " android keyboard, click "auto correction" and "off". You could also uncheck "show correction suggestions.:cyclops:

[Q] Can't turn off spell check (option missing)?!

Hi,
so on every android phone you go to 'keyboard and input' and there you can turn off spell check (red underlines on wrongly written words),
but on my find x2 pro this option is missing, which makes me mad, since I have everything red all the time since I'm writing in three languagues every day.
Edit.
I understand now what is happening:
OPPO uses Gboard as standard keyboard and in it's settings you can turn it off, so they don't offer this option in their OS, oppose to every other android phone on the market, rotfl.
This way it obviously only works with Gboard.
Where exactly did you find the option to switch dictionary off? I couldn't find it in gboard settings

Text correction -> spell check (last option)

I'm using swift keyboard
and unfortunately dictionary (red lines under the words in Arabic language) is still on despite that I've switched off the spell check option from gboard
But if I switch the keyboard to gboard it'll be gone for Arabic language
As I wrote in last sentence in first post turning off works only with Gboard.
I wrote already to swiftkey support so they include this option too, but I got zero answer.
And oppo support says they won't include it, because it's already in their default keyboard (Gboard)...
