Hi,
since two days I have Jelly Bean installed on my galaxy nexus. The first thing that I see ist that the question mark is no longer in the bar above the keyboard after typing any word in. I have to long press the dot to get to the questionmark.
Is there any way to get it back like in 4.0.4?
I know this might look like a unimportant thing but this is the reason I never used swiftkey.
Noticed it too. Quite annoying. I liked having the punctuations up at the top of the keyboard when you hit spacebar. This is surely part of their redesign to do more predictive typing stuff. Which stinks because I was damn fast at the ICS keyboard I thought it was great.
Gonna look around in settings some more...

Check this app out...
Was ripped from the ICS system when I was stuck on Gingerbread...so I purchased the full version.
(Free version is great too).
The full version actually has more features than the stock ICS keyboard with the same fluidity/prediction/feel.
I'd highly recommend it.
Yes, this is one of the "improvements" of Jelly Bean, predictive text. Fortunately, if you're like me and use punctuation more than predictions, just go to Settings>Android Keyboard Settings>Advanced Settings and untick the box labeled "Next Word Prediction".

There's no way to disable this is there? I can't stand having icons in the notification bar and it's quite annoying to have one every time I need to type.
I already tried freezing the android keyboard in TB but couldn't find the Japanese IME keyboard to freeze. Don't think it would have worked anyway cuz even with the android keyboard frozen it still showed up in the choices...

I'm not sure you should/could get rid of it. Isn't it the only way to change keyboards "on the fly"(apart from menu)?

Yeah as far as I know.. I just wish they had made it the way it normally is.. Which is long press..

Could you not leave it to system default for no keyboard symbol and then just hold down the mic icon on the keyboard to change it in the fly?

I guess you could "skin" the keyboard icon in framework-res.apk (or wherever that icon is) into a plain black or transparent icon so you can't see it lol.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You can disable it completely. There is a boolean value in framework-res called show_ongoing_ime_switcher. Some people like it apparently so I've made it toggle-able

I don't have the settings key on my Nexus. When I was using an ICS beta on my Desire it was there, but I didn't even realise till now that my Nexus doesn't have it.
I just mucked around with a few settings and found what brings it up, and therefore what takes it away. In the Android keyboard settings menu, the very top option 'Input languages', if 'Use system language' is ticked, then the keyboard icon won't show up. As soon as you untick that and select more than one language at a time, the icon will be there.
That's what brought it up for me, I don't know if there's another option that can make the icon appear, but hopefully that helps someone?

hold onto the "space bar" on the stock 4.0 android keyboard and the keyboard switcher will pop up

To get the keyboard icon off, you have to delete the keyboards that you aren't using. When you delete these keyboards the keyboard icon should go away. You have to have a file manager like root explorer. Go to /system/app folder and delete openwnn.apk for the Japanese keyboard and Pinyin.apk for the Chinese keyboard. After you do that, the keyboard icon should go away, it did for me.
Never noticed the keyboard icon until I chanced on this thread. At times this forum can seem a little like the hypochondriac flicking through the medical dictionary to see what's wrong with them. But then again if you are I'll..
I think the reasoning behind it is they want it more user friendly for folks that arent hardcore like you'd find on here. Basically, a long press is a "hidden" function compared to having it show up on the top for switching inputs. I kind of like it that way anyway, besides, it only shows up when you are typing anyway so It really doesnt bother me much.
Annoys me too. For the first few days I kept checking it assuming it was an action item, then finally figured out it was just there in case I needed it. If I could disable this notification, I would.
The problem with changing the bool to hide the ime switcher is that third party keyboards no longer switch. Only the stock keyboard seems to be enabled.
Is it just me or does punctuation no longer appear in the suggestions when typing out messages? I'm sure it used to before the update, is there any way to get this back?

I see the suggestions but when I press the space bar it wont insert the suggested word. I have looked everywhere to turn this on. Any ideas? This is the Sprint version.
It doesn't work on any Note 2 at the moment, not your fault or any config that you can change.

Wow, that is pretty bad. I tried to use just a stock Jellybean kb and had issues with enter key on the email app.
What other keyboards are you guys using? I hate swype... thanks!
I use SwiftKey 3.
Samsung keyboard seems broken to me.

It's a bit painful, that, since so many good things are tied to the Samsung keyboard (Handwriting recognition, floating keyboard in multiscreen, one-handed mode, and parts of Swiftkey for that matter).

I recommend swift key 3 until Samsung gets it out. In fact I recommend it over the Samsung keyboard. But from what I read the new Samsung keyboards are based on swift key. Is that right?

This is annoying... I hope their is a fix for this
The more I use the keyboard, the more I like it. There are pros and cons to having the spacebar auto correct. I do agree that they should make it an option though but after a couple of days with the Note 2 keyboard I find that I have less errors and am almost typing just as fast as SwiftKey. If you stick with the Samsung keyboard, you will get better at it.
Plus the numbers at the top and the pen input is too hard to give up. The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion.

TouchPal is a good keyboard too. And it's free!
Samsung has purposefully left it out. Your keyboard is fine. Although it would have been nice if Samsung had actually included the option to enable or disable auto correct. I use the Jelly Bean Pro keyboard from the Play Store. But I switch to the Samsung one if I am using Multi Window functionality.

Handwritten from my Galaxy Note II
The Hong Kong stock firmware keyboard I loaded a couple weeks back did perform autocorrect but the performance was so iffy (guessing the same incorrect word over and over rather than learning from prior corrections being the biggest issue) that I moved back to SwiftKey. I'm bummed about losing easy handwriting and the number row but as a whole I'm happier with the Swiftkey.
Some others stated that they got used to the stock keyboard without autocorrect but after a week+ on the English keyboard I decided it wasn't worth it.

Well mine worked fine until yesterday. It corrects its to it's automatically. But it doesnt work anymore.
I dont know why it worked at first place then not working anymore..
Btw I updated language as soon as I booted phone up for the first time..

Totally agree with this!!
It might be worth everyone giving Ultra Keyboard a try from the play store. It does Google voice typing, better swiping than the stock keyboard and allows a permanent number row. Also has long press secondary characters. The only thing you give up is the handwriting but for me that is infrequent enough that I'm prepared to switch keyboards just for when I need it.

Does anyone think we will get the autocorrect back?
Not really sure why people think that the SwiftKey devs did any meaningful work with the Note II keyboard. In my opinion, it is garbage in comparison and offers no basic functionality beyond SwiftKey 3. It's a real shame you lose S pen support using an alternative keyboard. Do you really prefer the default keyboard? There is no way I can write anywhere as fast as I can text with basic SwiftKey 3. Thoughts?

The one thing I love about the stock keyboard is the 4th row number keys. Wish I could get that on swift key.

+1... exactly what I think...
Yes, the number row counts for something, no doubt, but when I'm wailing away at the keyboard, it is normally to hit letter keys, and not numbers, as good as it is. Simiarly, there are obvious benefits to a hardware querty keyboard, but will few will buy one despite the utility. Now, I say this as someone who doesn't spend a great deal of time working in spreadsheets. Something like that is something I could imagine skipping plain SwiftKey for. What do you use a number row for?

I dont think you get it. Moving the special characters onto an additional row of keys, so I dont have to toggle to another keyboard +being able to hit the numbers on the same screen +swype on the same keyboard... all adds up. Now, if I could change two things; spacebar to autocorrect and being able to edit the keyboards user dictionary, that would be perfection.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Yes, that's what I'm talking about, the space bar and the auto complete/correct. To me, that IS SwiftKey. If I have to reach up for every word, that is not swift and I could definitely do without it. Considering what you said, if the only influence that SwiftKey had in the Samsung keyboard is the "learning" phase, how is it learning anything if you have to select your words manually and can't change the dictionary?
Before I had the Note 2 I used swift key on all my phones. However with the Note I've been using Swype for the 1st time and love it. So much so I've removed swift key. Swype is nice when you're one handing this beast and is the only reason I even tried using it in the 1st place. I've also found it to be really intuitive. Once swift key have their version of Swype up and running I'll give it another shot.

So I have started trying to learn the Swype keyboard. So far it feels like more of a gimmick than a see serious attempt to make a dent in the keyboard market, but I am open to accepting my inexperience as a important factor.Do you guys find you are actually faster with this keyboard? I do plan on continuing to practice day to day, and I accept that I may have spoken to soon.

I still prefer to type with both hands, then again, I find the stock samsung keyboard good enough that it's my daily driver (although i wish the auto correct kicks in automatically... I don't have time to type and then click on the auto correct, just auto correct when i move to the next word).
I only use the swipe keyboard when i'm using 1 handed or the s pen as regular typing should be done with 2 hands. I did come from a sensation so, i was used to their trace keyboard

I had the same problem not liking the lack of space bar for autocorrect until I realized it was the same distance to hit the autocorrected word vs the spacebar. Once I broke that habit swiftkey and swype were forgotten about. Typing on mispelled words to autocorrect em has been nice on the stock sammy keyboard.

Once I became comfortable with Swype I found that I'm much faster and proficient with it than finger pecking. It took me about a day to really start liking it. Prior to the Note 2 I never used Swype, I also viewed it as a gimmick. Now I absolutely love it!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
The new swiftkey function with the spacebar seems nice, just wish they would separate the number keys at the top like on the stock keyboard. Once the new swiftkey comes out I will probably give it a try again.
I've noticed that there are places where the Swype keyboard isn't inserting spaces after words, such as in the dolphin browser. Is this a glitch or just me?

Does anyone have suggestion for a keyboard that autocorrects? (maybe the stock android keyboard?) I'm running Jedi but the autocorrect doesn't automatically replace the mis-spelled words I have to manually click on the suggestion, and it doesn't come with the stock keyboard.

Stock aosp keyboard is the way to go. Google android 4.2 keyboard apk and just install it like any other app.

Another option would be SwiftKey 3 which is on sale right now. I was a little bit hesitant to buy a keyboard when the stock one was so good. However, the auto correct was a big deal for me. You're right in that the others have to be manually selected. Even more so, if you accidentally start the word with a number, it then has no idea. However, with SwiftKey, everything is good to go. I am actually able to type without even looking. Part of this is due to skill at typing in general but the rest of it is how amazingly accurate the correction is. Just my two cents.

SwiftKey is a great keyboard and time saver. Been using it since the original beta.

Swiftkey is great and its prediction is near telepathic once you've used it a while and it learns from you. I have been using Swiftkey Flow lately and I like having the option to "swype". The only gripe I have is that there is no separate line for numbers. Having to long-press or change the layout to numerical really slows things down, especially at work.
