Google Keyboard (gboard) issue with EMUI 4.0.x - Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
since the upgrade to Android 6 I had problem with the Google keyboard, basically I can't choose any language but English (US) and Tibetan!
I tried to download old versions of Google keyboard through APKmirror but the only result is that I don't get anymore Tibetan as option.
Logcat doesn't give any useful information.
Upgrading another H60-L12 of a friend we encountered the very same issue.

I need at least Italian, but I was used to have few other languages that I use less often
and I'm studying. It's very strange that I can't see the other dictionaries...
Of course now I'm using SwiftKey but I prefer gboard, I find it much more faster and comfortable.

I got the same problem. It's crashing when I try to access the settings.
I use German and English. But when I'm typing only English dictionary is available although I see "DE EN" in the space bar.
But I cannot switch between these languages.
I've also installed APK manually but this didn't help either.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

From Gboard
Hold the comma key.
Select languages.
Turn off Use System Language.
Select the language you need
Hold space bar to select languages
Quite surprising you're getting only two language options. Not so for me. I'm using H60 L04

I've done as described. I can switch now language but the dictionary is still English only.
When I hold comma key and select Gboard settings and try to get into menu item "settings" then it crashes again. The same when I try to access "advanced settings".
So Gboard is still failing.

Pretty much can say it's your ROM. Doesn't have the languages in built

I use standard ROM, no custom ROM.
Updated via OTA
Android 6
Build H60-L04C432B860
So why should the standard ROM not have built in the languages?

That u cant say. Couldn't find a way to add languages too. You should stick to other keyboards then. Try Xperia keyboard. It's nice

I hoped to get profound help here for my problem.
Telling someone to switch to another keyboard is no solution for me ?

The latest version that I see on the play store has been published on 10 Jan and it has the problem described at the beginning.
I found a newer version (not sure about the origin, it has a different icon) on apkmirror but it has problems with the resolution and in any case the dictionary problem is still there.
Did you find a working version?

samsung keyboard crashes when handwriting

hi
I have the jelly bean update already for a while and using snote again.
I wanted to use handwriting, but the samsung keyboard crashes instantly.
even after reboot or restartn of the app.
in the input settings it gives me a option of google and samsung keyboard whereas samsung is ticked and I cant untick it.
anybody has a idea on this???
thx
You cannot untick it as that is more of an option to give you options of what keyboard to select there is no google keyboard its voice.
Are you rooted because yours is a very stage problem
Try this go to application Manager - All Apps - Samsung Keyboard and select clear data see if that works
After doing the above, if you can get into settings, there should also be updates for the languages. Try updating your language choice.
There are two seperate language settings - one for the typing keyboard and one for handwriting. Go in to Settings>Language and input>Samsung keyboard settings>Handwriting>Input languages and make sure the language you're using is set properly and accept an update if it's offered.
Hi @ all
my language Was set for German And English
the reset helped
thanks to you all
May be it is because of that not sure Barry may be able to tell for certain but did you try keep both the languages same because theoraticaly it should not work with two different languages
Um... can I use handwriting to type on it? I have the N8013 and I can't tick or select "handwriting" in the Language and Inputs. There is no text box. I tried to see if I could write in the "split keyboard" layout. If this is not where you do it, can you please assist me? Can it only be done in the S Note app?

That's how I found out there were two seperate handwriting language settings. When I updated to the BTU JB ROM I lost all ability to use handwriting; the option (shown below) wasn't offered. For some reason no language was set in the handwriting settings. When I selected U.S. English it actually had to be downloaded. It was fine after that and the option reappeared.
Mine looks different. Samsung Keyboard. N8013
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
Found it. Thanks mate! And I thanked your post too!

Keyboard notification! I hate it

I enjoy using the Google keyboard but hate that if I want to use Spanish on it, I have to deal with the dreaded keyboard notification. If only comes on if I use different t input languages under the Google keyboard settings.
My question is, can I get rid of it and still use both languages? Un-rooted that is. I don't understand why it has to be there when you can switch by using the space bar or the language change button! In the past I've just dealt with it. But I really would love not to with the N5

What do you mean? I use Dutch and English as keyboard languages but I don't get any 'dreaded keyboard notification'.
If I use anything else but this setting, the keyboard input switcher pops up on my notification bar every time I use the keyboard if I select English and Spanish it pops up. If I have it like this it doesn't, but then I can't hold down the space bar and switch to Spanish.

Ah right, now I know what you meant. Afaik, this not possible with stock. I know CM allows you to disable it.

That's what I was worried about. I'm all for rooting, I've just had a great experience stock that I don't mind waiting for more Roms to come out for now.

How to erase word from predictive dictionary?

I know this isn't specifically an issue towards the One but I'm wondering if anyone knows a fix? I'm having a very annoying issue where if I were to type "dont" and press the space button, it auto-corrects it to "Dont" and not "don't". I'm using the stock keyboard.
I've tried to go into the keyboard settings and erasing the word from my personal dictionary but it's not in there to begin with. I've also tried clearing the cache and data from the keyboard but it's still there.
Anyone know a solution to this irritating issue (besides using a different keyboard)?'
Edit: I've also tried clearing the search engine storage to no avail. :\
Type "dont" and then look at your predictive predictions and when you see "Dont"... longpress on it and then erase it from the predictive dictionary.

I've tried that and there is no option to delete it after long-pressing the word. It just shows a list of words similar to it.

Are you using the stock keyboard (Android Keyboard (AOSP)) or SwiftKey? I don't want to resort to installing a different keyboard.

Tried it just now on the stock keyboard... It always suggests 'don't', even after I added 'dont' to the personal dictionary... Which English dictionary do you have? English US or any other? I have English UK.
Wonder what word did you ended up saving lol

I'm using the US English dictionary. Strange enough, if I were to type "Dont"(in the case that it's the beginning of a sentence), it'll auto-correct it to "Don't" but if it's "dont" anywhere within a sentence, it'll become "Dont".

If you can eventually add swipe support and text prediction/autocorrect, you'll have the best keyboard on the store (there's only 1 alternative)

Hi
The app called TBKeyboard but you wont find it on the store, I think Tizen have bug on the uninstall process from the "Samsung gear" app, it must be fixed before they accept the app.
So i will update about it later, for now i am working on circular keyboard.
Thanks

X2 on the keyboard. I'd like it as well!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using XDA-Developers mobile app
Why is this not a thing yet? Can you release the app here then? I'm willing to sideload this amazing looking app.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using XDA-Developers Legacy app
No kidding...please provide the .wgt for sideload if Sammy is still being picky. The keyboard is one of the biggest shortfalls of the S2/3 compared to Wear 2.0's swipe keyboard and text prediction keyboard..
The keyboard is now in the market, ready for download!!!! the name is TBKeyboard "under utilities"
Have fun.
The Russian layout need to be fix (i will fix it next week).
Just purchased for my S3 classic. Love it! Gave a good review too. Thanks! Would it be possible to add a swype style feature? If not, still awesome.
Hi,

Is there an option to make keyboard with numerical above letters. I don't like to push and hold e.g. letter Q for number 1. Or to swith to numerical. I'd like to have both on one screen.
If there no such an option which keyboard do you recommend do download?
i recommend downloading Google keyboard
I have google keyboard but there are no such option.

Try swiftkey then
You can enable numbers row in Google keyboard. Follow this guide.

Not the best designed but still usable.

Unfortunately, there is no internal setting that allows for you to put your numbers at the top of your keyboard. We advise that you browse the Google Play Store for third-party options. (ED)
I recommend swiftkey.
I use Swype + Dragon and its a great keyboard, easily awitching from letters to numbers, bilingual usage and great theming. Or try something different as Fleksy for instance, also a great keyboard and you can set a numbers row in permanently.
