Is there "T9" for the pull out physical keyboard? I don't see it.. and I see the option for "Auto-Replace (Correct mistyped words)" but it doesn't seem to do it.
Am I missing something?
No, there is no T9 function for the physical keyboard. Also, I believe T9 was initially designed for texting with the traditional dial-phone set-up so that it's easier and faster than repeatedly pressing the same button more than once to get the third letter. And I think because it's the physical keyboard, you have access to each individual key so there's no reason to give you T9 or a crutch in spelling. That's my take.
The next thing close to that would be using Swype.
I should rephrase the original question:
Why doesn't they physical keyboard "Auto-Replace (Correct mistyped words)" when I misspell something? I see the option in settings -- however it does not correct anything.

Hi,
I don't like the word prediction on the standard HTC keyboard. If Itype a word that's not in the dictionary, I can either change it to the word the prediction suggests, or insert + save the word I typed in.
the problem is, sometimes I DON'T want the word saved, like it's a one-time-use word. the prediction on the android keyboard was much better; tap the word once to insert, tap another time to save. (but I like HTC keyboard's symbols-handling better)
any way to get this "tap twice to save" on the HTC keyboard too?
btw does anyone have a download link to android keyboard?
edit: oh and is it possible to turn off the "buggy" text reflow in the web browser?
Tap twice to save is not possible afaik with the standard HTC keyboard. However, if you search for the HTC_IME mod by some guy called Jonas, you will find a modded version of the keyboard which you can configure somewhat into the direction you described. Root isn't required for this keyboard btw.
Good luck!

Is there any way to change the order of the punctuation when using the t9 keyboard? It makes absolutely no sense to me that "at" comes up first when hitting the punctuation key. I'd much prefer if it were possible to change it so that the question mark comes up first, considering it is used far more often than "at".
Currently on CM7.1, using the latest version of GO Keyboard. Does anyone have any idea on how to disable prediction for the hardware keyboard?
The thing is, when inserting special characters (such as ă,î,ș) the SMS character number shrinks from 160 to 70 (some Unicode boulderdash is involved).
Whenever I send long messages (and I usually do) I use the hardware keyboard in order to avoid inserting special characters, so that's my way of disabling prediction.
I don't want to use Swype/MultiLing or other keyboards because they add special keys for Romanian characters, which I find pointless (prediction can be done using a normal English QWERTY layout) and also space-wasting.
So, any ideas? Can this be done?
As a workaround, I have Catalan selected as another language (don't have the dictionary installed for it) and use that when typing on the HW keyboard.
Try z arrow from the market. It lets you use the menu key for copy, paste, and directional arrows. It also has a switcher that will swap keyboards when you rotate the screen.

Never heard of that before. Will try. Thanks!
Has anyone been able to change or update words in their user dictionary? I use the standard Samsung Keyboard, but I cannot find a setting for user dictionary anywhere. I can goto options for the samsung keyboard, but it will only learn from gmail, facebook, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
PS
The samsung keyboard letters are grayed out in language and input, but I can click on the cog next to it to get to settings.
I tried the Swype, but couldn't figure it out either so I went back to my trusty old SlideIt. Easy customizable dictionary + resize keyboard however you like + move keyboard to left or right side for one-handed typing + many more customizations, including how long you want to longhold a key to get the upper character (min. time is 0.1 sec!). Get the paid version. It's better.

Does it have the numbers separately set above the keyboard? Each of the keyboard I have looked at don't have this feature which keeps me using the stock keyboard.

Numbers are, like on a regular laptop/desktop chiclet keyboard, superscripted on the top row of keys (i.e. the qwerty row). So to access the #1, you longhold 'q'. In settings, you can adjust the longhold duration. Mine is set to 0.1 sec, which is so short a time that it is almost the same as having a dedicated #1 key. It's so quick that as I'm getting used to it, I've unintentionally typed the longhold characters quite a few times.

That's based on the older ICS keyboard. Notice on the note 2 with jellybean keyboard you get a separate set of number keys, allowing them to add even more special characters to the letter keys? Trying to retain that. Think I found a few new ones tho. Thx.
anyone able to edit user dictionary ... or import text file ... right now its learning from facebook and gmail but cannot import it by whatsapp ... software like User Dictionary manager show blank dictionary
Using the stock keyboard and I have a few ridiculous "words" that it has learned somehow. Any time I type out the word "not" using LG's path input (like swype) I get the word "nit". At no point have I ever typed it out manually or used this word. I've tried long-pressing the suggested word above the keyboard, looking in the custom word dictionary, etc and I can't find out how to get rid of these annoying "words". How do I remove them, or can I?
