[Q] Word prediction

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?

[Q] turn off/stop virtual keboard when using dock?

Is there a way to stop the virtual keyboard from popping up on screen when it is in the keyboard dock, also is there a way to stop the text I am writing into the stock browser from dissapearing under the full screen keyboard when typing?
Thanks

I couldn't find a way, but I got round it by clicking the v on the bottom menu (Next to home) which closes the onscreen keyboard down. Its a bit of a faff tbh. But at least you can get to type on fullscreen. To see what you're typing, just use the arrow keys/the text tag and scroll down.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? It is so annoying. Everytime i touch the screen to edit, the virtual keyboard pops up. I use the up/down keyboard Key, below the Enter Key on the virtual keyboard to minimize the virtual keyboard. I have cheked the settings and there is no option to disable the virtual keyboard. Any suggestions anyone?

I don't have a dock but use a bluetooth keyboard from time to time. To avoid the same problem I have installed null keyboard from Google Play store which works well for me.

Works brilliantly thanks just what i was after. I've got the note docked and the keyboard hasn't appeared on screen once while typing this. Only thing i had to do was set it to the default keyboard first in the settings under input.

Keyboard SwiftFlow (swyping) bug

Anyone have an issue where the Samsung keyboard will stop responding to SwiftFlow, also known as "swiping"?
For example, sometimes when I want to input text, the Samsung keyboard appears, but instead of being able to swipe through letters, It will only detect "tapping" or the first letter I touch.
The simple fix is to hit the "back" button on the phone which will close the keyboard, then bring the keyboard back and SwiftFlow/Swyping will work again. The problem is I seem to be running into this a few times a day during heavy use, so it's obviously annoying when it happens.

TF300, Physical Keyboard won't stop auto-correcting

I have TF300T, Rooted, running Crombi KK. docked in physical keyboard.
I have autocorrect unchecked in settings for the android keyboard. and for the Swiftkey keyboard, and "auto-replace" unchecked under "physical keyboard".
I don't have an autocorrect problem using on-screen keyboards. Only when using the Asus physical keyboard.
How do I get the keyboard to stop autocorrecting?

no one has a suggestion about this issue?

I uninstalled Swiftkey. So far as I can tell, this has fixed the problem. and it also seems to have fixed a problem with CMBrowser where suggestion bar was pointlessly appearing on some pages. I had no idea Swiftkey would be the culprit.
I have installed Google keyboard, in case I need an onscreen keyboard.

Make typing keyboard default instead of handwriting keyboard

A few updates ago, the handwriting keyboard appeared às the default keyboard. I know how to switch to the typing keyboard, but it is only temporary. Every time I start to search in the browser, the handwriting keyboard is the default.
The handwriting keyboard also lags for about a minute...sometimes longer...and I can't click to change to the typing keyboard. I also can't write on the handwriting keyboard because it freezes up.
Can someone help me permanently put the typing keyboard as default? Thanks.
