Before you post the link to the XDA noob video, no, this isn't a question about 'how to enable autocorrect on the stock keyboard'
It's actually a question about autocorrect on the stock Samsung Keyboard.
Is there any way to force the autocorrect bar to permanently stay above the keyboard when XT9 is enabled, like the Gingerbread keyboard? When typing in, say, the Messaging app, the autocorrect bar pops up when I enter something and disappears when I hit space, making the little text entry box go up-and-down-and-up-and-down making me quite dizzy since my eyes have to bob up and down.
I would just use the gingerbread keyboard but the banding on that kb is annoying.
If it matters, GT-i9100, VR1.1, pulser_g2's KE2 multi-CSC package (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14254203#post14254203)
Thanks!
Im currently using the Gingerbread Keyboard from Marketplace, as far as im aware there is nothing at the moment that can be done to stop the autocorrection box appearing/Disappearing !
i think the samsung keyboard is rather annoying, the space bar is way too small causing me to press the . button atleast 1 in every 5 words.. annoyance !
i have been looking everywhere for a fix, nothing so far!
i hope this thread will get enough attention and the keyboard can be modded.
the only reason im not using samsung keyboard is because of this issue
OK, I just downloaded the version from the Market (the free one from Steven Lin, right?).
No banding )) but vibrate on keypress doesn't do anything.
Can you test on yours and see if vibe works?
Thanks!
X9 in settings that is what enables it. Though doesn't work on custom roms I have no idea why.
Cheers.
You mean to enable autocorrect for the stock Samsung keyboard?
Re-read my post. I have no problem enabling it, but it's the execution that is annoying.
If only I could get vibration working for the Gingerbread keyboard (the apk I got off xda works, but there's noticeable banding, while the one off the market has no banding but vibe doesn't work).

I am also using the Gingerbread Keyboard and it is 100% better, more responsive and better with predictive text than the crappy Samsung KB.
At the end of the day I got HTC_IME installed and will probably be sticking with that.
No banding, vibration works, autocorrect is great & doesn't give me a seizure. Only problem is that it crashes the Samsung Email app (but I use the stock Gmail app so it's not a problem).
Does anyone know how to get vibration working on the Market GB kb?
Thanks!

if you use gingerbread KB you need to change the Vibrate setting to "normal" in advanced settings and it should work !
Thanked you accidentally too Lol. but you can keep it

Why thank you very much. I have returned the favor
Well actually I would have thanked you either way, since setting the vibe intensity to Normal as you suggested worked.
Thanks again
I'd recommend Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey X Beta. both a LOT better than the Samsung KB and both offer superior prediction and customisation. Thumb has split KB and customisation too.

Lol no problem.

glad it all works if you get the paid version you can have different haptic Vibes on the keyboard, pretty neat !

Currently downloading the English pack for SwiftKey X. Looks pretty cool. Thanks for the suggestion!
Got it installed. I like how it can personalize my autocorrect via my Facebook account and SMSes. Autocorrect is great. Thanks again.

Is it just me or does the vibrate seem to be a bit stronger than other keyboards (particularly the Samsung one)? Just a minor niggle lol.
whoo hundredth post! I'm a senior member now
Smart Keyboard Pro for me.
Another keyboard to consider is Smart Keyboard Pro. It has tons of options to configure.

Can you still use swype with one of these keyboard apps?
I use swiftkey x and swype alternatively depending on what I'm typing. The prediction in swiftkey is spooky good.
I bought Smart Keyboard Pro. Autocorrect is as good as the others and I like the themes. Which one should I stick with...

Is anyone experiencing lag and delays when typing in landscape mode?
I'm typing into the stock SMS app. There are no slowdowns in portrait mode, bizarrely.
UPDATE: Looks like this could be a known bug here - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22432
As I've mentioned before, if you're having a similar problem to that described in the link, give it a star rather than a "me too" comment - unless your problem is different.
I don't get that. Are you using the default keyboard?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Yes, indeed - default keyboard. If the vibrate on keypress is enabled, I can tell it's delayed.
I've also noticed this in numerous applications. Try typing a Google+ post in landscape and prepare to be frustrated.
Hmm. Try going into the advanced settings of the keyboard and try to reduce vibration time or key pop up dismiss delay. Maybe that will help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I still does it with the vibration turned off. The key presses still seem to be registered, but feedback (the pop-up letters) seem to catch up when it's finished doing the other things that it needs to do.
I have exactly the same problem in my galaxy nexus.. and only in landscape mode... and the longer you write in landscape mode to more delay you will get... any idea?
greets Micha
Thanks everyone for responding so far.. seems it's not just me.
By no means am I moaning - the phone has blown my mind. The keyboard is amazingly useful in portrait mode, that I'm almost not bothered by this landscape slow down.
I wonder if Google are aware of it?
Might be this issue

Yup, I've also noticed this. I don't have vibration enabled.
This happens to me as well. It also happened to me on my Nexus S. It doesn't seem to do it all the time, but at least 40% of the time the keyboard will lag. Also when I use the word replacement feature of spell check it won't actually replace the word or it will replace it but keep the red underline, then change back to the misspelled word again.
just noticed this this morning- seems limited to landscape mode so far. kind of a bummer since in portrait mode the keyboard performance is the best I have ever seen.

Ah yes, the still haven't fixed that either. I was thinking the GN version of the app would be updated from the Gingerbread one. No spell correction, suggestions, auto punctuation, or word wrap in landscape mode. At least we know that problem can be fixed by an app update from Google.
I have noticed this as well. Commented also to the android forum thread about this.. Let's hope we get a fix soon
Ok, guys.
Everybody knows about screen rotation lag on Android. Somebody has 1 sec, somebody 5 sec lag.
At code.google.com people say it is intentional. And I do believe so. Just try landscape in browser and press home without rotating device, my screen rotates super fast and without any lag.
So does anyone know any possible way to change the delay between the phone being put in landscape and the screen start rotating?
BTW I'm on AndroidME 1.5 CM10 ROM and I did my own research with google with no luck.
Rotation lag has completely disappeared for me since I run JB.

I have about a second of lag too, but it's hard for me to consider this lag. The orientation is dependant upon the accelerometer. The hardware recognizing an adjusted angle and switching the orientation all within a second seems within the confines of reason in my opinion.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The lag you speak of I believe is to make sure the user actually intended to rotate their phone. Its never really bothered me to be honest. Back when I used my Nexus S, CNA had an option to increase the response of this rotation. Not sure if that's included in their JB release though.
But that lag bother me a lot, try rotating phone while in camera you'll how amazingly fast the rotation can be.
Well yeah. It's the camera. Like I said, that tiny bit of lag is to make sure the user intentionally rotated the phone. I'm sure you can edit this via the build prop or something else.
That's why I want to know how I can do this, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
The camera app itself doesn't rotate.
Try holding the phone in landscape then click next where the onscreen keys are, you'll see that they're sill in the portrait orientation.
Hi guys,
I noticed a decent vertical offset with all my touch inputs. Whenever I press the screen, it recognizes the touch event about 1cm below the actual input I made.
The weird thing is that this happens only in certain apps, speaking of chrome for example.
Furthermore the hover point of my spen is in the right position, but as soon as I touch the screen, it's too low. Very annoying when pressing links in chrome..
Anyone experiencing the same issue? I'm running the latest firmware bmf2 with my n5100
Ps: you can check it by hovering over the screen, pressing the spen button and then drawing a line..
Edit: this example seems to work only with gmd spen control enabled. Nevertheless the described issue is still present when using chrome and spen control disabled...
Edit:
Possible workarounds:
- flip to landscape and back
- use chrome in multi window mode
I can confirm I have the same problem I thought it was just me lol.

Found out a strange thing:
If I start chrome in multi window mode (using alternate window mode) it seems to work just fine. Does this work for you, too?
At least it seems to be a software issue.. probably fixable (hopefully )
It's the same for me too. Only in Chrome and sometimes the top part of the page is hidden under the address bar.
I think is software related.

I had this problem also but only in Chrome. Finally gave up and went to Opera. So far zero problems. I recommend you try that.
Same here. I hope an update will come soon.

As you note, you can easily fix the offset by switching to landscape mode and back. I'm am curious, though, which other apps you've observed this problem with. The only app I've had a problem with is Chrome.

And gmd spen control. If you activate it (try lite version) and draw a line with spen button pushed, you will notice exactly the same offset. Imo it's the same issue, though I have no idea what should cause it for only a few apps and not for others as well..

Interesting... does it go away if you switch to landscape then back to portrait the way Chrome does?

Nope, still present. But didn't play much with it since I prefer gesture control. Haven't reported it to the developer either..
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=260804
Please star the issue, unless one of us has some epic insight on how to fix it.
Seems from the comments on the bug that a fix will be coming in Chrome 29, whenever that gets rolled out. Those running Chrome Beta should see it sometime next week.
Not sure if someone else already posted but I figured I would share what I found. YMMV
If you're experiencing a delay in response when hitting the multitasking(recent) capacitive button (the one that's to the left of your home button) I may have found a way to speed it up.
In settings > accessibility > dexterity and interaction > touch and hold delay
Change it to custom. When you customize it take your finger off as soon as it turns green. Faster is better.
It seems to have done the trick for me. Let me know if works for you.

I think you guys are experiencing the placebo effect, this setting has nothing to do with a regular press. I've timed it on a few different Note 4s and it does not increase the speed.

I've also experimented with changing the delay between custom, 0.5, and 1.5 seconds. It doesn't change the multitask window delay for me.

Maybe others who are not experiencing the speed improvement are on a different launcher?

I'm really not sure what lag there was to begin with when pressing the recent apps key.
Disable the TalkBack service from Application manager, and it will be fast as 0.5 seconds.
The setting didn't change multi task button at all.
I know others have said this but I started typing this before I realized there were so many others saying the same thing.
