Gboard problems - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello, I have installed gboard and everything was fine until I realized that deleting a word sometimes leaves last letter and that last letter can't be deleted. It's this case in Samsung internet and chrome. I even encounter with it here in this typing box. I think it has something to do with autocorrect?

I am actually having the exact same problem and haven't found a solution. Is this a known problem? Have you found anything online that I missed?

ME too

I use Gboard on S7 and Nexus7 all the time and never had problems with deleting letters. In Gboard settings for Text correction I only enabled Show suggestions, Next-wordsuggestions, Auot capitalization and Multilingual typing. May be You can try out what setting is responsible for Your issue.

Hi! My problem is different, but suits for this subject.
Last week I bought Galaxy S7 Exynos (Nougat) and installed Gboard. Unfortunately, predictive words doesn't show, despite enabling this functionality in Gboard settings. To be more precised, bar where words should appear is visible, but there are no predictive words on it. I googled about this issue and tried several solutions, including clearing cache, reinstalling Gboard, installing previous version - still no luck. I have up-to-date stock ROM. The only way to show predictive words is to add secondary language, i.e. English - but that's not best workaround, because I'd like to use Polish as my default language.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?

Hm, I have GBoard on my S7 Exynos since 2016 with latest official firmware and no issues. I have German as primary and English (US) as secondary and I get suggestions for both, depending on my selection.
May be, we can compare the settings on our devices.

Sure, why not. Attached screenshots are in Polish, but I believe all settings are in the same order.

Ok, I compared the settings. Beside the Emojis that I don't use the only difference is that I have two languages set up. I dropped the second for testing and auto suggestion is still working.
Hm, strange, but I think setting up a second language but do not use it, will be the best solution for now. May be, a factory reset will help on Your issue, but I would definitely not recommend this.
May be, English as second language is an option to post on XDA forums. [emoji6]
Sorry, I don't have any idea, why it is not working with one language on Your device.

Well, I tried addidng second language before. The only difference is that sugestion bar shows predctions in English - even if I turn them off.

Ok, if I understand that right, only the polish suggestions are missing? That's really strange.

Yep, that's true.

Hm, I added polish to my keyboard for testing and I get polish suggestions...

What build do you use?

Firmware is G930FDBT1DQJ1, the latest official german version without provider branding,
GBoard version is 6.9.8.183626756.

Well, same firmware (polish version to be precise) and Gboard build. I'm out of ideas.

Kaiser problems with default language

This might be something that jockyw2001 understands. I have a Kaiser that was originally traditional chinese. I updated it to the latest WM6.1 WWE English ROM, but I'm finding some strange behavior.
For example, I want to install CEStar Chinese Input and Display. The problem I ran into is an error message on install that says CEStar is already installed and that I should remove it before re-installing it. While I need to use mainly english, I still get Chinese email, SMS and even use Papago in traditional chinese.
Not sure what is going on here. I definitely cannot display Chinese characters (they all show up as blocks on my phone) but I can't instlal CEStar either. If someone kneows what is going on, please let me know.

hang n just want to share an opinion
hi mikelim i have bought a kaiser that was originally a simplified chinese n ive changed it to english version n it seem have no problem at all but when i have istall the CEStar Chinese Input and Display it sometimes hang n i must soft reset it n not just that sometimes using keyboard it have a lag (freeze for 2 or 3 second) but maybe you have to try to install a ROM RUU_Kaiser_HK_WWE_1.82.721.1_radio_sign_22.51.88.13_1.27.15.32R2_Ship that work fine on me but still the CEstar won't work very smooth ...

[Q] Gingerbread Samsung Epic causing voice to text to come up in Spanish?

Performed update to Gingerbread yesterday - Install went smooth - Root went smooth.
By the way - not a total noob, just never actually created an account before - shame on me. Should be thanking people all the time.
Anyway - Today after booting when I try to speak a text message or speak a search in the market the phone thinks I'm speaking Spanish and adds text in spanish (not an actual translation, just what it thinks I'm saying in Spanish). Trust me, I'm speaking English, and I'm not drunk.
Google search feature recognizes my english and creates text in english.
I've checked all the settings in my device and all languages are set to English (US).
I've tried switching to other English formats as well. No change.
Any ideas?
Profile too new to post in Dev Section...
Also, tried updating keyboard to Keyboard from Android 2.3. Nice design, but didn't help fix the issue.
Tried scouring the site for this issue, but don't see it noted anywhere.
Thanks!
Strange
K, oddly enough - this corrected itself when I removed the Chrome to Phone app.
All set.

UK language on US version

Guys, looking for some assistance on the correct wifi/US firmware. Currently KOT49H.P900UEU1ANAE on my tablet.
I have rooted with CF autoroot, and then I noticed I lost my keyboard symbols, and screen mirroring. Tablet has been great even so, as I put exposed/wanam, then installed the "alternate keyboard module" which gave me the symbols back. Being there is no work around for the screen mirroring, I decided to odin stock firmware, which I had downloaded from sammobile. I used the "unknown" for country, as US is not listed. So, as I was using the stock ROM, all my stuff stayed through Odin. Cool. No keyboard symbols, but it did bring back screen mirroring.
While in settings/language, the words with "z", are all spelled with "s".(recognised vs recognized, colours vs colors) Huh, am I running a UK version? Bought in Connecticut. When I try to set up the languages, there is no option for setting to either. I know from early posts, I saw that both the language setting had to be on English US for the symbols to show. I cant even get that to happen. Also, that posters words were spelled with a z, not s like mine.
I did a factory reset through the stock recovery, thinking I could reset the language option during setup. It only listed English, no US or UK. So I am at a crossroads. Kies3 doesnt seem to support this tab yet. Can anyone confirm a wifi US version build #? Also, does anyone have a download link to the US version other than Sammobile? thanks

Language support

Hi Guys,
was about to pull the trigger on Amazon to buy this phone when noticed in Q&A section that US version only comes with few languages - not worldwide Android language selection. Since I was planning to send this phones to Ukraine to my nieces, I need to know if it is possible to re enable Russian/Ukrainian and what I would have to do. Root probably? Please only answer if you are sure of the working method, I don't want to just test theories.
Thanks.
I have 6045I and just changed the default locale using a local-changing app. You are right - the choices of language is limited to English, Espanol, Francais or Italiano. If you root your Idol 3, you can change locale easily-all you have to do is install a locale-changing app and run it. But I wouldn't want to go that route and I was able to do without rooting the device. You need to change permission using adb shell pm command (most locale-changing app displays exactly how you change the permission) before running the app.
Not all the menus and messages won't change to the language you change to of course, but you can convert some to the language of your choice. The app I installed has a Russian locale option.
OK, good to know. Thanks for prompt answer and good advise. Since no rooting is involved, phone should stay on the OTA updates schedule and this is very important to me. Could you please check if Ukrainian option is available as well? Girls mostly speak Ukrainian and, if I understand correct, locale determines the responses they are going to see when using any locale-aware app, like Google Market, Facebook, etc.
BTW, I tested this method with my own unrooted phone and it does work, though there is a bag of gotchas. Phone settings reset to English (as probably my phone does not use Android standard settings and the one it uses does not have prper translation), locale-aware apps changed language, but only in places, so it's a mix of Eng-Ukr. OK Google voice activation stopped working in the new locale (I can still use voice prompts, but can not invoke it from home screen with OK Google phrase) and Language settings do not have new option for the added locale, so the only way yo change it if someone changes it back to one of the default ones is through the locale app (I use Locale More Pro app).
