JB keyboard is annoying the hell out of me - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

On ICS the keyboard predicted words, and when touching a suggested word it would automatically insert a space.
The JB keyboard does none of this whatever setting I try, also I constantly have to add highlighted words in the dictionary again and again. Like when I added a word in twitter, I have to add the same word again in whatsapp. I'm on the verge of trying swiftkey now but don't understand where the great stock keyboard from ICS has gone?
I'm I missing something?!

I've turned off the new JB predictive typing, but from what I remember, you don't need to worry about it inputing spaces. If you hit a "predicted" word (up on the top bar), then start typing, it inserts the space automatically. It just does it when you start typing the next word after a predicted one, rather then when you hit the predicted word. I just turned it back on to confirm. It does put the space in when you continue typing. Try it...
So BTW, the ICS keyboard didn't have next word prediction, it simply had current word correction, which is different. In JB, the top bar shows the next word prediction. If you want it to go back to the "ICS style" of just current word correction, go into:
Language & input > Android Keyboard "Settings" > Advanced settings > uncheck "Next word prediction"

Where can I get phonepad or T9 input program for Blue Angel?

Is there anywhere where I can download this? Is this a free utility?
Kinda difficult to use keyboard all the time (one handed).
Thanks.
first of all, most applications do support word completion (go to Settings, Input, Word Comp.)
start typing something in word and it'll give u a list of choices
But you're talking about dictionary words only. I'm talking about T9 input, just like doing sms on regular cellphones, but in this case, on the touch screen.

Word Completion missing on T-Mobile TP2

I have an HTC Touch Pro2 from T-Mobile running WinMo 6.1. It seems that under Settings, Personal, Input, the "Word Completion" tab is missing between "Input Method" and "Options" that was there on my previous WinMo 5 device. Is this feature missing from WinMo 6.1 in general, or has it been disabled by T-Mo? if it's been disabled, is there a way to enable it?
yeah it's missing in my Tmo TP2 too. I do miss the auto correction feature that was on that tab.
edit : I did not reading the message right sorry

now will that enable the tab to change the settings in the Input settings or just enable the options? I want the word completion, but not the word suggestion.
tkali is right- they are one and the same. Word completion and word correction are both linked to disabling T9

Quick question about the reg edit. I havetriededitthe first valeu but it tells me access is denied. Is there something I am missing?
I made the registry edits mentioned in the other thread (copied below for reference) but I still don't have the missing Word Completion tab even after a soft reset.
From the other thread referenced above:
Diable eT9. Enable COMP IME. This is a registry edit.
Go to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409
Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0
That will bring you back to the good old word suggestion and dynamic auto completion.
yeah unfortunately it doesn't bring back the word completion tab, which i was hoping.
What exactly does it do then? I didn't notice any change.
it should enable it so that when you're typing, it'll give you 4 (changeable) suggested words as well as auto-correct some words. (type comming & it'll change to coming)
I like the auto-correct feature on the Tilt/MDA because you could type contractions without the apostrophe & the phone would auto-correct it for you. I hate the word suggestion & always had that turned off.
I don't know why they'd take this tab & feature out of the input settings/phone.
I'm still not getting any suggested words; I used to get them when using the Letter Recognizer (WinMo 5), but I don't get them with that or the QWERTY. I may have inadvertently set the # of words to suggest to 0; do you happen to know the registry setting for that?
I have a friend who has a WinMo 6.1 phone, but not from T-Mobile, and the Word Suggestion tab is visible. Seems there must be a setting for that somewhere that T-Mo disabled for some reason.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but I got Word Completion/Suggestion working just fine on my T-Mo Touch Pro 2 by pressing the XT9 button on the soft keyboard
Doesn't work while using the hardware keyboard though, which may be what you're asking about
yeah, we're talking about the function working with the hardware keyboard
Gotcha! Ignore me then
OK got the word completion to work but now I have no "space" instead I have ".com" there. Anyone have this problem?...Thanks
Does anyone have the factory settings?
I was actually referring to the on-screen input methods, not the slide-out keyboard. On my previous WinMo 5 device, the suggested words appeared regardless of which method I used - Letter Recognizer, QWERTY, etc. That's what was I looking for.
I also discovered what I did wrong - I had an "n" instead of an "m" in the name of the DLL. I corrected that, did a soft-reset and Viola! I have the suggested words now. It's hard to distinguish an "n" and "m" on that small screen.
The tab is still missing under Settings, Input - I would still like to have that visible if anyone figures out how to enable it.
Thanks for the help.
does anyone have the qwerty reg settings, now i no longer have that function all i have is regular keyboard or when qwerty is selected i have just numbers...thanks
Problem solved T-mo Word completion/no space bar
OK here is what I did on my T-mobile TP2 to get word completion working with the space bar (Mine (space bar) disappeared after I did the reg hack) I put these settings in and now I have word completion and the space bar back.
I went to
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409
Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = eT9 IME
Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0
Now on MY T-mo TP2 I have word Comp and a space bar also. Hope this helps someone...Tj
@TrekkerJmm does SYM on your hardware keyboard still work? (ALT + ,)

Gingerbread Keyboard

Hi,
There is a keyboard from Android 2.3 Gingerbread on the market which you should try.
I only got it for the multitouch but the spacing etc makes you type faster.
Search it on the market and try it.
Once you download it, go to settings - locale and text and tick Gingerbread keyboard. Then go to gingerbread keyboard settings - advanced and change the custom vibration to normal if you want the vibration on keypress.

I can't find it in market
EDIT: Ok I found it. It's called "Keyboard from Android 2.3" and for me Polish dictionary is not working
Can I ask if the prediction bar in samsung keyboard still has the same behavior? You know, it comes and goes as you type and it causes the text box above to jump up and down, it is actually making me dizzy.
Everytime I start to type a word, the prediction bar pops up and the text box jumps up too. Between words the prediction bar dissapears, and the text box drops down again. This is very irritating behavior because I of course always look up at the text box when writing. It's not easy to fokus on what is written when it's jumping up and down like that.
There are many kayboards on the market that have the prediction bar up all the time even when no words are typed. But there are very few with norwegian dictionarys. The one that have norwegian dictionary is not as good as the stock in Galaxy
So how can I get in touch with developers of Galaxy to force them to make the prediction bar stay up all the time??
The prediction bar shows symbols like ? ! , " etc when you're not typing so it stays up all of the time and wont jump.

How to make swype autocorrect onky when typing?

Is there anyway to make swype not autocorrect when I'm typing one letter at a time but allow it to autocorrect when I'm swyping?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
settings...keyboard/language....swype....all options are there
Sent from my Htcclay's SuperCM7 G2 using XDA Premium App
Go to Swype settings as indicated in above post, or access them directly from the Swype keyboard, by hitting the flashing Swype key (the finger icon) at the lower left hand corner of the keyboard, then select "Options" from the popup.
Once in the Swype settings, go to Word suggestion, and uncheck "Auto-correction". This is what you want.
This is on by default on the newest beta, where it past versions it must have been off (or functioned differently somehow). I had the same issue, where Swype kept auto-correcting when "tap" typing individual letters, and usually changing it to a word that was nothing close to what I was typing. Especially for names, abbreviations, acronyms, etc. I kept wondering for a few days why Swype was doing that, then I found the proper setting change.

ok i thought if i uncheck auto correct, it would also stop auto correcting my swype words
Also is it possible to change the layout of the keyboard? Like make the spacebar bigger and getting rid of the voice button?

Nope, word prediction while swiping will not be affected.

Dictionary has made up words, how do I delete them?

So I must have at some point added the word "yoy" to my personal dictionary accidentally, and now my phone prefers it over "you." Problem is, long pressing on the word "yoy" on the list of suggested words above the samsung keyboard doesn't give me the option to delete it like many other words have. How do I get random fake words I accidentally added out of my dictionary?
If it matters I'm using the latest verizon OTA, samsung keyboard, with swype. Any other info you need I'm happy to provide. Thanks!
try Long Press on the word when it comes up as a suggestion and then you should be able to delete it as a 'learned word'
OR
You can try "Settings - Language and input"
Select Samsung keyboard
Select Predictive text
You can disable it completely, or disable Personalized data, or maybe Clear personal data and see how that goes.
Horrible answers and a terribly frustrating keyboard. I'd love to burn my phone as a result of the horrible dictionary included. Note to the Samsung team that built this dictionary: go hinge, obviously you have no idea what you're doing.
