WM6.1 Predictive Text - HTC Excalibur

Is there any way to turn off the predictive text thing?
It is mad annoying and always puts words I dont want.
Also, some of the symbols are mixed up. For example, when I hold down the M key trying to type a !, it puts =, and i have to press Q which should be %.
Anyone else have these problems?

you have two different problems
1) hit alt and space.. and just turn off the predictive
2) download the new eT9 from my signature and copy to your phone and install the cab and that will fix your keyboard

Thanks!
Both of those worked and I also hit up your Vista steez start button.
Looks good!

Can't you just hold the End key to lock on that ROM?

My Left Soft key isnt working at all. Whatever path I put, the screen flashes for one sec and nothing happens. I dont know, nothing is working, only the text works to change the name.

I think this is a bug. You have to use HomeRSKPath and HomeRSKText to make the Left Soft key to work.

space bar not working?

I use the samsung virtual keyboard and i turned off all the predictive text and autocorrect because they annoy me. sometimes when i use spacebar, the phone vibrates but does not put a space in what i am typing, i have to press it again to put a space down. i cant figure out why this is happening and also dont know when it happens.

Keyboard Acting Weird

Sometimes this has happened to me and I was wondering on how to fix it and if anyone else has had this issue. Recently when I am in an app and I try to use my Hard keyboard if I press any of these keys it launches an app
(e - email
l - calender
p - don't recall.
g - gmail)
Anyone else see this ever. Usually I just use the onscreen keyboard when this happens and later it works again. This happened to me in the facebook app and also in dolphin browser.

Check Applications --> Quick Launch and see if you have any keys assigned to those apps.
It's my quick launch I think my search key was acting like it was pressed even though it wasn't. Thank you. Most have been stuck. Thank you.
It happens when you press the app key once by accident on the top left of the keyboard. Press it again and it turns off the shortcuts.
The app key? Which one is that? This happens to me a lot and I just mash on the keyboard until it goes away. I also am having problems with the keyboard not working at all. Sometimes I open the phone up and the whole keyboard stops working and I have to reboot the phone.
Also once I was on Dolphin browser and I was logging into Google plus and my numbers were acting funny. I could not press the ALT button to activate the numbers I had to hold the ALT then press the numbers. I thought that was weird.

Do you know any way to disable Quick Launch? Or maybe disabling all the pre-assigned things? --Do Not Want--
Thanks

Long press on the shortcut and it should give you an option to clear it.

The default shortcuts are the search button plus a letter. It happened to me once, and after pushing the search button on the top right of my keyboard a few times, everything started working fine again. Hope that helps.

Keyboard not working...at all
Hey all
CM11, official with apps installed the Captivate Glide physical keyboard is hit or miss. Since the physical keyboard is the WHOLE REASON to try to modify this older phone, its functionality is important. Physical keyboard ALT commands (#'s etc) do not work in any application. The letter keys works...sometimes. I have used default keyboard settings and have no idea whehter there is a fix on the main CM11 thread.
Many thansk!:good:
Alt is a non stick key

Well the thing is alt in cm11 is not a sticky key but its non stick . What i mean by that is that if you wanna type '1'. Keep 'ALT' pressed and hit the number '1' in blue on the keyboard. the alt key dosent seem to stick for some reason.
this is actually cause of the google ime treating our physical qwerty as a desktop keyboard i think where alt is also non stick.

"Alt" doesn't work at all -- even if held during typing. I will keep searching for keyboard fixes I guess. Since the keyboard is 100% of the reason to use the Captivate Glide, it's utility is a major issue. Many thanks for your reply!

Problems with physical qwerty keyboard

anybody else having problems with there physical keyboard? It doesnt happen all the time but sometimes when im typing with it, certain buttons will start opening shortcuts. Once I restart the phone it goes back to normal but its starting to get annoying!

It happens to me every now and then. When you hold down the search button and hit certain keys it acts like a shortcut. Search + g = gmail. I don't have to restart the phone, just hit the search button to clear up the stuck key/input. Also I think you can disable these shortcuts in the settings menu.
