On Screen Keyboard Question

Hello guys,
Just received my device today and I am loving it to bits. Just one question tho and I haven't seen anyone asking this question.
When you go into SMS messages tab and click on new message. When I click on the 'to:' field, a numeral keyboard on screen keyboard is forced to be used (even tho I have chose full QWERTY keyboard). Haven anyone noticed that? That is the weird part but if you look closely, there is a 'P' and a 'W' key as well. Why those keys and no other keys.
I used to be able to type in the name of the recipient, now I have to use the hardware keyboard to do so, (I would like to have the option to use a soft keyboard, although I love the hardware one).
Also, I have noticed that the Numeral Pad for typing messages have now gone. It used to be on the HD. I thought it was quite useful when if was on the HD and find it was a good way for t9 messaging with one hand.
Anyone noticed?

Anyone????
Anyone knows what the keys P and W is for when entering receipiant details? I don't mind it but I just wanted to know why P and W and not any other letters.

P: Pause (1sec Pause before sending the tones)
W: Wait (doesn't seem to work on WM - on nokia phones there was a new dialog coming up - and you could decide when you'd like to send the remainig numbers)

Sorry double post

Thanks a lot mate!
This is the first time I have seen this on a keypad. Never knew you need those keys.
But why would you need to pause before sending the tone?

sometimes u need this for using gateway services where it will ask for password/id before the phone number dialled (VOIP, teleconferance use etc)
you need the pause key; else the system will treat is as a very long number and ended up error

predictive text problem.

Is there any way to set the standard predictive text to use most common words? I'm sick of dropping down the list to search for the right word.
Thanks
Dion.

I have no problems with it since I use.full English and very little slang. If you use a lot of slang then your going to have to add the words to the dictionary. I have added a few words already. But overall, it is the best predictive text I've ever used

No offence mate but that doesn't help at all. For instance the first word I typed, ''No'' was predicted as on so I chose No but it still uses on as the first prediction it does this with any common word I use.

Ok that is weird. Try turning it off or reboot your phone or something. It works a dream for me and I just typed in no and it was fine. Check words like amd which should come up as and. I couldn't tell you what the problem was. I just guess that it its that bad for you then just fully disable it

[Q] Any way to change "Smilies" on Swiftkey Keyboard ?

Basically, Swiftkey is an awesome keyboard, and there's not much at all that I dislike- been using it since the beta.
My slight beef is this-
The smilies that are available by shortcut are just not in my particular liking.
Instead of " " and " ;-P "
I just want
": ) and ;P " and so on...
Is there any way to go about changing them?

Do you ever solve this issue? I am trying to find out if this is possible as well

No one has ever even commented on it, and apart from that, the VIP section of the Swiftkey forums held little response as well.
I'll try nd message the admin/dev

Hopefully swiftkey will make this an option. Id rather have the enter key or line break key rather than a useless emoticon key.

I found this on their site:
http colon slash slash support.swiftkey.net/forums/116689-1-swiftkey-x-ideas-/suggestions/2027773-let-us-customize-the-smileys-in-the-smiley-button
Let's hope they'll add the feature soon

I know, old thread, but it is still not implemented and so many people are asking for it. Anybody found a way to change it? Maybe by editing a file or something?

I hate bumping old threads, but I too, am very interested in knowing if it's possible to edit the apk or anything to allow this? I just want to get rid of the " - " hyphen.

i would rather have easy access to the enter button than the dumb faces. I make the faces and with my gf. the nose is not needed

Help: How to Copy/Paste

I've using my NG for a week now and still trying to figure out how to copy/paste.
I see the check mark come up when I highlight text but I can't figure out how to get the text to copy. I tap the check mark but doesn't seem to do anything.
Any good YouTube videos or anything that show how to do this?

It's not the check mark you want, next to the words "select all" you'll see an icon that looks like two pages, clicking that will show a dialogue at the bottom of your screen saying, "text copied to clipboard". Pressing and holding again will give you the option to paste.

Thank you , feel pretty dumb now.

Or just simply tap highlighted text again ....

Don't be. I had the same problem myself. It's a crappy system. Moreover good questions like this create a good reference for new users moving forward.
There are no such things a stupid questions or feeling dumb, just learn from your mistake or the hole in your knowledge and try to pass on what you know the next time someone else needs help.

I had exactly the same issue finally figured it out after my third attempt at copying from a browser window!
I wish there was an easier way to scroll the cursor around tho, i miss the trackball on my N1. They really should add a popup onscreen wheel onto the keyboard.

Off topic sorta, but I was just reading an article where one of the Cons of Android vs iOS is that Android doesn't have system wide Copy/Paste.
I lol'd

i'm not able to cut and paste from within tweet deck like I could on my Gingerbread. Quite frustrating

Theres a manual that covers all such essentials.
Get it by googling "samsung galaxy nexus" to go to googles official site for the phone, click register, bung in your email and they will send you a link to the manual.
The manual that should have come in the box IMHO!!

Samsung official keyboard where find learned words ?

I need to access the learned words of my Samsung Keyboard, i´ve rooted my device and tried to find it, but i can´t... Anyone knows where is stored ??

You can't see all the words as a list or something, but you can delete learned words. You just need to start typing them and as soon as it pops up in the prediction area (above the keyboard) just long press on it and tap delete. This will delete the word from your personal dictionary. I hope this helps!

So many Reasons...
What a Wonderful Question?
Why, I wonder, are you trying to find these words...
Hmmm

Ok... that helped me too, but how do you stop the s7 from learning words or at least stop putting them into the auto replace box?
