How to activate the underlining of spelling errors in red ? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I've been having this feature on my previous OPO (LineageOS) and was wondering whether I needed to activate it in the language or spelling correction settings of my S8+. Couldn't find it in my device or SwiftKey settings though. So I suppose it's somehow OS or google related.
I find it very convenient in any messenger app (Whatsapp, Twitter etc.) to get the misspelled word underlined in red and by tapping on it I'd get a bunch of suggestions for the correctly spelled word.
I might be wrong, but maybe the answer lies in the google settings, as this feature is enabled on every windows PC I use.
I'm grateful for any advice on how to enable this. Thanks in advance! :good: :laugh:

SlideIT autospace option

SlideIT is always placing a space between words or, more accurate, in front of all words. Only the first word in a text gets away without a space before it. But, if I write the first word in a text, delete it to replace it with another word, it will create a space and the word will be all small letters!
Example:
Hi it's me!
(now, if i want to replace the word "Hi" with "Hello", I'll go back, delete that word only, and it turns out like this:
<space>hello it's me!
(a space in front of the first word, and its all small letters)
Also, in my language (norwegian) there is a lot of words that are combined by two words, but SlideIT doesn't allow me to enter two words without a space between them, unless i go back and delete the space myself.
Well, easy solution: Go to options and de-select the Automatic space option! Yeah, thats the problem right there. I've already tried a bunch of times, but it doesn't change anything! The spaces keep appearing no matter what!
I've already emailed Dasur, and here is what I got:
Dear Sven Erik
We will check this issue,
Can you tell me if it append aso in Note an Word application ?
Best regards,

I answered YES to both apps, but still no answer.. (Sent on April 12th)
So, is anyone else having this problem?
Any solutions?
SlideIT looks nice and is nice to use but it has lots of little annoying bugs like the one you highlight here. The killer for me was the correction issue with HTC Messaging. I emailed Dasur suggesting they change their editing to the method Swype uses where you can place the cursor anywhere in a word to change it to something else using the suggestion system. With SlideIT you need to highlight the entire word which can't be done in HTC Messaging. As a result, any changes when composing text messages means the word has the be deleted and retyped in it's entirety.
As a result I'm still using Swype until these problems are resolved.

tried asking for a refund if you're that unhappy?

Norsk og tysk har mange likheter! (Er det riktig?)
I have the exact same issue: In German, many words are combined to create longer words as well and because the automatic space option is not working, it is not possible to enter them without having to remove the spaces inbetween manually afterwards. I also contacted Dasur and they sent me an answer thanking me for the feedback... But nothing has happened since! Otherwise SlideIt is awesome!
talk to them on their facebook page, they may be a bit more responsive there.

Yup, Norwegian is part of the German language tree
I sent Dasur a new mail yesterday, and again they reply with questions. I answer them, and guess what? No replies...
Same problems with dutch language here. I also searched for a solution and sent an e-mail but no response.
I got my response from Dasur now, it seems like the auto space option is only ment for ABC-mode:
It's not a bug,
We think that in slide mode* you write word after word
and not try to add word to word (in most languages you can't combine words)
my suggestion to you is to save the long words and to slide them in one slide
In the next version we will offer to disable the auto space in the slide mode too.
Great Day,

But that sucks! Sliding really long words with one pass is very inconvenient! The margin for errors is far too big! And it would be such an easy thing to implement! Come on!
Oh well... We'll see what the next version brings.
I just realized that the auto space option makes no sense if it is only ment for the abc mode, as you enter all letters and spaces manually. so as a reply to the mail I received earlier (see my previous posts) i had to reply:
Hi,
So what you are saying is that auto space option can only be turned off in abc mode? Is there even auto space in abc mode? How does auto space work in abc mode? I am sorry, but I cannot seem to make any sense of this...

I agree, v4.1.0.3 has been out for quite a while now so i hope im wrong but i think it will still be a wihle before a newer version is released.
As mentioned, it actually does respond faster than Swype but Swype is much more finger friendly, has less bugs, its just a smarter layout for editing etc.
SlideIT has great advantages though like the abbreviations etc so if they can just tweak it a little, it will be better than Swype. Needs skins as well, very plain unfortunately.
New mail received!
Okay, i still cant seem to figure these guys out...
Dear Sven Erik
We meant that when you are tapping after a word in slide mode you will not get the auto space
if you slide you will get auto space always
Great Day,

I feel they still havent quite ansvered my question, so I asked:
Hi,
Okay I understand. But why have you released a version with an option of turning off auto space if the option itself doesn't work?
Kind regards,

I wrote an app to control my phone through google talk

Hey guys!
I developed TalkMyPhone, an open-source app that enables you to control your phone from google talk. It's like android-notifier on steroids, since it brings almost the same features and you don't need wifi/bluetooth enabled.
I can't post links since I'm new here. Google for talkmyphone or look for it on the market.
Developers: I'm open to contributions
Users: please use the issue tracker for suggesting features
I don't have many non-french users since the info did not spread very well outside of french blogs, so I'm posting it here. I hope someone will find it useful and write something about it.

Do you need multiple GTalk accounts in order to talk to it, or can you "talk to yourself" ?
Niice Idea
sweeeet thx
Doesn´t work on my SGS. After trying to to login the app closed. And now i can´t open it again. Even every other app wont start.
Only a restart helped. Uninstalled.
But the idea is interessting. maybe i´ll give a try again later.

The 2 solutions work. Talking to yourself is possible in gmail, but you cannot initiate the conversation, so in this case, best is to use a third party client like pidgin. Otherwise you can set up a second account. Any standard jabber account is possible.
Accounts delivered at jabber.org are *very* easy to get. You don't need to give your email address, you don't need to sign an agreement. You just have to fill a captcha to prove you're human.

Weird. Some unlucky people experiment bugs like this one. I don't know where this comes from, and I try to improve the code. It works 100% of the time for me, so all I can do is look at 'adb logcat' traces users leave on the bugtracker. If you wish to do so, it might improve your chances to see this fixed
giving it a shot
you may try changing your preferences.xml to the attached (just because of english, just change .zip to .xml)
i have to find the other file, because i noticed some other grammatical things. no worries tho
and, 'additional settings', in the xml has too many 'n's, lol

Thank you, I'll update that in the next release.
Pretty Neat
I was able to go on Google Talk on my PC and send messages to my phone. The copy:text feature I can definitely see myself using so that I don't have to type long URLs in the browser. The other functions seem like they would be nice if you lost your phone or if it was stolen. Overall a pretty neat app! Thanks!

HTC Incredible
Virtuous Rom 2.7
So I have the app running and logged in. (Phone is logged into [email protected])
On my PC I have [email protected]. I message from PC to phone (John to Paul) and nothing happens.
I tried "where" "ring" etc, but the app doesn't respond. What am I doing wrong?
What next...
When you start the app on the phone, make sure you input your google information and then start the app. If you have Google Talk up on your PC, it should pop up a window for you to type commands into (talk to/control your phone). It did for me anyway. Type a "?" to get a list of the commands...

Hmm, I did all this. Let me see where the issue is:
My phone's Google account is set to [email protected].
I put in [email protected] and my password into TalkMyPhone.
I start up TalkMyPhone and it logs in -- successfully.
I go to my PC and log into gmail on [email protected].
I message from my PC ([email protected]) to my phone ([email protected]).
I get the message but nothing happens with TalkMyPhone.
Can you tell me where the issue is?
i entered in all of my information too and nothing seems to work, the app says loging in .. then that its successful. but then nothing can be done from there.
i cant even log in
i always get the message: "login failed" and then "stopping service"
i tried setting it on "use the phones account settings"
then i turned that off, and manually put in my gmail-settings - still didnt work
Same issues over here... Got it all connected, reciving messages from the phone works fine, too (welcome, battery, incomming callings) but sending commands doesn't work for me.
Got a HTC Magic/Sapphire with CM6 (2.2) running on it.
I had the same problem. I changed the GTalk Port to 5222 and entered my ****@googlemail.com instead of ****@gmail.com
Works perfect on my HD2 (Android ) Thank you!
When I log in on phone i get this gTalk message on my pc from my own account:
Welcome to TalkMyPhone. Send "?" for getting help
Battery level 78%
Works just perfect...

i changed @gmail.com to @googlemail.com
and it logs in now....
but i dont get any messages....
do i need to have the real gtalk installed on my computer?
doesnt applications like trillian for windows work?
I tried Pidgin and it works but I use the GMail-Chat because it's my info hub
Anyways, great work chm.duquesne, this is a really great application.
Now there just needs to be a way in GTalk to turn off the chat notification in Android for a single contact
// Edit
The "where" feature is really awesome, mate.
Nothing serious but the reply feature does not work for me. When I received a SMS and I type "reply:This is my reply" it answers "No match for "+491234567890" (the number being the correct number, of course).

I use gTalk and it works.
Is it possible to get some kind of ping button on the phone, that opens the conversation window on the pc? I cannot figure out how to open a conversation with myself in gTalk.

[Q] [q] t9 prediction problem!

I know i know...who the **** uses T9 anymore? I DO! So I had this problem with my HTC Sensation 4G and now I am having the same problem with HTC One S. I have predictive texting on while using T9 and it won't recognize simple words like "it" or "am." When I type out "it," it turns into "gt." I've tried adding those words into my personal dictionary to see if it would change anything but it doesn't. I have the open of clicking to see more predictive words but that just takes up so much time. I know this is such a small issue but does anyone have this problem too? And has anyone found a solution to this?! It's annoying the crap out of me! I know i can just switch to standard qwerty keyboard but i like T9...easier to text while driving and my fingers won't **** up the words as easily. RAWR! anyway...suggestions and comments are welcome and much appreciated!
Find the mirror app, activate it. Then find the lever on left side of steering wheel, tilt it upwards, check rear view mirror and pull over ffs.
Also if this happens only on short words check if you have maybe by mistake added some short words like gt to your personal dictionary and this is why they are picked first?
What's a mirror app? >.< And where can I get it? I saw literal mirror apps at the google play store but I'm assuming you weren't talking about that kind of mirror app.
I did check my personal dictionary and there was no "gt" added in there, but thank you for the suggestion!

[Q] N5 has learned a phrase. Now I can't type anything other than that

I once typed "DONT ANSWER" in a message, now whenever I go to type "don't" in a normal sentence, Google Keyboard automatically changes the word to "DONT".
This is driving me mad.
I have deleted the cache and app data from Google keyboard to no avail.
The word is not in my personal dictionary.
Please could someone give me some advice on this, I feel like such an idiot and I've not managed to find answers using Google.
Swiping types correctly.
It corrects to DONT and then suggests the word ANSWER next. Is there some sort of Android User phrase book that is causing this? What do I have to clear!
Problem solved.
I had a contact:
Name - DONT ANSWER
Deleted the contact, keyboard issue fixed.
*facepalm*

LOL! funny how these things happen! Thanks for the update though.

anyone else frustrated with the new google koyboard?

id like to keep the new google keyboard as opposed to uninstalling the update, but i hate the emojis that show up in the perdictive text area when youre on the symbols keyboard. Anyone know how to disable that? I could be very obtuse and missing something obvious, if so, i apologize
