Hi guys!
I got my TP a week ago and this is my first post on this nice forum.
I think the phone is amazing; it's my first WM powered device, however there's something bothering me about the Software Keyboard. When I'm using the hardware keyboard and access a textbox on the screen (especially in the Opera browser) the software keyboard automatically pops up, although I don't really need it.
This feature may be very useful on devices which do not have a built in hardware keyboard, like the Diamond. But on TP I find it highly annoying.
Does anyone know if there's a way to disable this behavior?
dowload Advanced Config 3.2, install and change Input/Auto deploy SIP to Disable..
Thank you very much, that solved my problem. I had ACT installed, but I didn't notice this setting so far.
Edit: however, this setting does not affect the behavior of the Opera browser; maybe they'll fix this in a future version.
UR welcome..
every1 was a noob..i still AM..;-)
Hey! good tip! I never knew this...I was just living with the software keyboard always popping up.
Thanks!!!
don't know why, but i started to re-appear to me in some apps, even when i disable it..
Try this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip>:
Create or change DWORD TurnOffAutoDeploy from 0 to 1
(Sorry, this is exactly what Advanced Config does)
Hello, guys!
I just found the solution for this problem.
There's a program called nullkeyboard (download from http://personales.ya.com/beemer/nullkeyboard.htm)
It's a SIP keyboard that does nothing (doesn't popup) and I think it's great to use it when browsing with opera or when using other apps that don't know that setting you mentioned.
I tried it and it works fine.
I just bought thumb keyboard. but when i wanted to activate it, the device told me that the app can monitor all inputs like passwords and creditcard numbers.
well that scared me. do you use third party keyboard apps? do you also enter passwords and credit card numbers with them?

Nope, its better not to use 3rd party keyboards
They do as they say !
*HIT THANKS IF I HAVE HELPED YOU*
If the app is reputable (SwiftKey, Swype, etc.) then it's not even a second thought for me. I use SwiftKey and feel it's the best keyboard I've ever used on a mobile device (and that includes hardware keyboards).

This warning appears regardless of which third party keyboard you install. Many keyboards are only as good as they are at word prediction because they monitor every keystroke to learn your style. Swiftkey or Swype asks you to allow it to read you Twitter, Gmail, sms and Facebook posts. You can either allow this or cripple it's ability to function as it is intended.
I would not think twice about installing a keyboard from a reputable company like SwiftKey or Swype. However! . . .
Once you've used the new stock keyboard on Jelly Bean 4.2 (and 4.2.1) you won't even think about going anywhere else.
I usually only install 3rd party keyboards w/o any permissions. One prime example is a simplistic keyboard named Big Buttons Keyboard.....no permissions

I think the only reason they have to say they monitor passwords, etc is because most 3rd party keyboards "learn" what you type. I wouldn't worry about it.
The new stock keyboard is good but not even close to swype in my opinion. Too many taps to save a new word, not as accurate, weak predictions when even available, etc. But it is definitely the best stock android keyboard yet.

Swiftkey changed my opinions on typing on a touch-screen. I figure if they're courting the medical community, they'd better not do anything fishy or they'll have hell to pay from angry lawyers.
thumb keyboard thumbs up!
I've been using thumb keyboard on both my tf101 and my S2 for about a year now and I'm very happy with it... can be a little crowded on the S2 but maybe that's just my stumpy fingers! And yes I do internet banking on both devices, and make on-line purchases.The only complaint I have is the lack of graphical smilies standardized across the o.s. and available to all apps.
I just downloaded my first keyboard app from the PlayStore and went to install it, but then I got a warning message about a bunch of stuff that this keyboard is able to know what I'm typing, including credit card numbers, text messages and so on ...
I got ripped for $12,000 once a few years ago because I bought something online and someone got my credit card numbers. Bank investigation, blah blah blah, took ages before it was all sorted. Now I'm a bit paranoid about this sort of thing.
Is there another app maybe, or some setting that can stop a keyboard from recording what I type?
I know I could just go back and use the standard keyboard that came with my ROM, but now I'm sus on that too. Is this a common thing with Android, or all devices these days. Is it something to be worried about, or is that just how it is and its really nothing to worry about?
The keyboard I got from the Playstore is called Kii Keyboard. It seems popular with heaps of users, but still I thought I'd ask first.
Thx
I haven't had a lot of experience with different keyboard apps, just with SwiftKey. I think Google is trying to keep people aware when they install these keyboards of the risks of what "could" happen. If you are downloading a very popular app from a reputable source on the PlayStore, I would think that its chances of being safe are pretty high. Google is pretty good about taking down apps if they don't meet certain requirements. Thankfully I have never had any problems using SwiftKey, maybe try that one! Also, as far as if there is a setting to keep the keyboard from paying too much attention to what you type, I think that would be working against any features that help enhance the keyboards predictive text. I know with SwiftKeys, I love how much better my predictions have become over time. I'm not sure how possible that would have been with something working against it. Just a thought though!
Yeah I also had this attitude for trying new keyboards, because of the permissions they asked. But after someone told me that the standard keyboard uses the same permissions, I was willing to try it. In the end you could also edit the permissions of the app (if you're rooted), so that it's 'safer', but I think you'll miss out on some of the predictive text options.
In certain text boxes in the browser I'm experiencing a really annoying issue, basically when I type a bunch of stuff in then make a mistake and start using the backspace key to erase, stuff that I perviously typed comes up in place of stuff I erased. It happens even now that I'm typing here. What's up with this issue? Any way to fix? I noticed it happens more often when I use swype typing. Stock keyboard on stock Xperia Z3.
I still have this issue on Lollipop, wtf...
Ive had that issue since Kit Kat.
Try another browser, I had that issue before. I prefer the stock browser so I installed AOSP Browser installer from the play store, then installed the kk browser. No issues with it for me now. I hope this helps.
Trying another browser or another keyboard isn't really a fix. I like to use the Sony keyboard because it allows me to type in english and italian without having to manually switch language every time. It also seems to be more precise with the swype compared to Google or Swiftkey, and it has better handling of custom words. Also I like to use Chrome because it's fast, smooth and "just works", like someone used to say.
I made a few posts about it on the Sony forums, because it only happens with the stock keyboard, hopefully they will listen.
Here's also a video I made to show the bug recorded by me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZhG8rqpw1w
I turned off the auto correct. Seemed to work.
Interestingly enough, I noticed this with google voice typing. Invariably it would accurately type for me, but put everything in twice. Craptastically ridiculous to have to erase what you actually wanted typed because the stupid ap would double it up. I have since removed as best I can the blue google ap, don't use google+ at all and I tell the xperia kb to not guess squat for me. The actual term 'smartphone' I truly believe to be as misleading as one could possibly be without calling yourself a liar.
So, has anyone found a fix for this issue? I feel like I'm pretty much the only one so I wonder how is it possible that such a terrible glitch ON STOCK APPS is basically unnoticed.
I used to get this when using remote apps like Unified Remote and typing into the HTPC. Whenever it tried to predict it would go all screwy.
I haven't noticed it in my z3 but I use Swiftkey.
Its a problem with browser, web site, keyboard... Not sony it self...
I do occur this problem but very rarely, because some website uses technology which is not so optimize for smartphones to decode them, or certain browser.
Very strange that the Samsung keyboard application does not auto capitalize I.
Couldn't find anything in the settings.
Please don't suggest i switch to another keyboard app.
Thanks.

I did that.
It only auto capitalizes the first word after a period (full stop).
It will not auto capitalize the i within a sentence.
I see the suggestion for the capital "I" when using it mid sentence, I guess that's as good as it gets in that instance,at least with Samsung keyboard.
FWIW, I don't have that problem w/SwiftKey, but, that doesn't sound like an option you want to pursue.
Did you just recently start using Samsung keyboard, &/or, is this something that just started happening?
My use of Samsung's keyboard is virtually non - existent, so, I really don't have much more to add..... Was thinking if you're new to Samsung keyboard, maybe it just needs more time/usage to improve upon your usage habits.
My only other thought is that there's something lost in translation,so to speak, given Samsung is a Korean company & the letter "I" & it's usage in English isn't programmed in fully.....
