Hi guys,
Is anybody else having trouble hitting the space bar when typing fast? A lot of times it just ignores my space input and continues the last word. Htc sense input and google keyboard tested.
Does anybody maybe have some input?
Thanks

Hi guys. Long time lurker here, first time poster - So before I get in to it I'll just take this opportunity to thank you guys for the countless times you contributing members have saved my ass, provided useful advice or applications - XDA-Developers rocks.
Secondly, I apologise if this issue has been covered, but I searched through the forums, googled 'n' whatnot, and got no love.
Okay - The problem I'm having is with input lag - Whenever I try to type anything on the hardware keyboard, there is an SIP running, suggesting words & alterations, and this SIP is massively slow - I can type out about 15 words before it finishes accepting the input for the first one. Am I the only one having this trouble?
I believe it's an issue with the "Full QWERTY" SIP installed by default on the device, but I can't seem to change the SIP to another option - it changes itself back automatically whenever the keyboard is used. I can't find a way to remove a factory installed SIP without flashing the ROM (Which I don't really want to do right now..) and I've tried SIPChange and another similar piece of software to no gain. I've disabled all suggestions and corrections, and this makes negligable difference to the speed of input.
So, if anyone is able to help me either remove the SIP - My preferred option - or simply stop it being so damned slow, my thanks in advance.
Did you change from t9 to abc in the on screen keyboard? There will be a slider from t9 to ABC. Then go and disable all the spell checks and word completion in the settings. That worked for me.
I appreciate the quick Response, Raspster, but I've already done that. It did remove one of the issues - that annoying grey bar - but the keyboard input is still way slower than it should be. My old TyTN was much faster.
Potential fix
Hi guys, try this seemed to work for me kb much faster on text input only for main body of message though, not for contact selection. Using a reg editor navigate to HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd then find value key InitialDelay and change to 0 or any smaller value. Mine set to 0 so keyboard responds almost instantly. naturally a soft reset is required. cheers
How did you get the annoying grey box to disappear? I think I have unchecked all the right things, but it is still there.
Thanks for your help
Steve
Sorry about the delayed reply, Steve. To get rid of the grey box, all I did was open up the on-screen "Full QWERTY" keyboard, and there is a selection button for T9/ABC. Slide it to ABC, and the annoying T9 box is gone. :]
Hi all,
I've searched the forum but cannot find a solution to my problem.
I have a HTC Touch Pro in Australia..
I am wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of the little window that comes up when your typing and message that seems to just re-type the word your typing. It has totally no point in being there and it makes typing a message run so much slower. I've tried disabling everything i can to get rid of it.. can anyone help?

look at the bottom of the keyboard, you set it to T9, change it to ABC by tapping that botton
Thank you very much! That fixed my problem!
Hi,
Ever since I have been using jbed (for opera mini or for gmail apps), I have run into the same very annoying problem that is : data input field doesn't have scroll bars.
So basically, any time I write an email or anything long enough to fill up the empty area from the top of the screen to my SIP Keyboard, at the time the text reaches the keyboard, no scroll bar appears and I find myself writing a blind email. I have to keep hiding and putting back my SIP to check if what I am writing is ok. This is very annoying and doesn't happen in other applications like the Note taking one for instance.
Do you have any idea on how to get those scrollbars? (more basically, to reduce the size of the text input area to the visible area) I don't know if the problem comes from Jbed or from my SIP (none of the SIP I have show me scrollbars... see what I mean...) but it would be a great improvement to be able to see what you write from the beginning ... to the end...
Thanks in advance for your help!
Anyone has the same problem? Is not showing scrollbars in text input fields a regular behavior for Jbed? Is there anything to do?
Please, feedback me on that issue, even if there is nothing to do to fix that.
Maybe I'm just an ignorant fool for having taken several days to figure this out, but I just realized you can move the text-prediction bar so that it's no longer blocking the "send" button on text messages.
Press and hold on any word that pops up, and you can drag it to another location on the screen. Mine is now pinned to the top of the keyboard, and the send button is now available to be pressed even if i don't select an auto-correct word. It does hide the "attach" button, but I rarely use that in SMS anyway.
Thought this might help.
EDIT: Well, I guess I am an ignorant fool. The change isn't permanent.. or at least I haven't found a way to make it permanent. I wonder what person thought it was a good idea to float the text prediction bar at some arbitrary spot that just so happens to block the most important texting button... I'm convinced nobody tests these things... But I digress.
I was excited about this until I did it and then got another text and the box was right back where it started haha

Yeah, same here. I edited the original post accordingly. It really astounds me how minor, yet stupid, the text prediction implementation is..
I switched to SwiftKey and never looked back. HTC's IME is nice for a stock KB.. but it's too large (because of extra row for arrow keys) and the prediction text blocking everything above the keyboard.
I wonder if HTC IME MOD is any better in these regards?

I, too, am now using Swiftkey. It really has a great feel to it. Most of the time, it records every keypress. However I've experienced extreme lag from time to time, resolved only when i disable the keyboard and reenable it. Ever happen to you?
If your as annoyed with the senseui keyboard as I was I can highly recommend the gingerbread keyboard off the market. It is, unequivocally, fantastic.
I am using the gingerbread keyboard as well. Accidentally found out you can drag the space bar up to get the arrow keys then drag it back down to get rid of them. Handy little feature.

Arrow keys are a huge time saver for me... I'll be checking out the Gingerbread keyboard...
Wow, gonna have to pay for this one... Gingerbread Keyboard is awesome
id like to put the word prediction bar transparent or make it desapear but keep the continuous input working on!
Hi all, been lurking for a while but thought I would finally post up.
Having an issue with my Nexus S on stock ROM v2.3.3. It isn't the same issues with the keyboard disappearing etc but it is an issue with the keyboard not inputting text when I type.
If I am typing a SMS reply to someone on my phone and I pause for a few seconds (to talk to someone for example) then I try to continue typing, the keyboard acts like its typing but does not actually type anything else into the message. The only fix I have managed to discover is exit the SMS so that a draft gets saved then once I go back into the message it works again.
Don't know if that is a clear enough description but if anyone else has any suggestions or even a fix for it then it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Yeah I have that too sometimes. What also happens to me about every week is, that the smiley sections' and the (particularly important for me since I'm from Austria and using the German keyboard ü-ö-ä) special buttons and symbols' pop up extension (hard to describe, but I mean the thing that pops up when you put your finger on the expandable tile for like 2 second and which let's you select the unusual symbols from a list) simply will not pop up. So it would make it impossible for me to choose from the pre-created smileys etc.
I have found out that changing your input method to another keyboard (I use SwiftKey in these cases) and then changing it back Android keyboard make the problems disappear. But they seem to come back regularly and I haven't found out what causes them to appear...
Any help?
