Hey all, this isn't really gnex specific but I have a question about the stock jb keyboard: I'm really liking it and all, but having just come from iOS there's something that irks me a bit. Specifically while it does autocorrect on typing a space or punctuation, it doesn't do so when, for example, hitting send in the text message or email editor. This is annoying for me because I'd become used to that behaviour in iOS and now am sending off texts in which the last word is essentially gibberish...
Any way to change this in the stock keyboard? Alternatively, is there a different (and good) keyboard with this feature?
Cheers

Add a space at the end. It will not auto correct until it knows you are done with the word. What you are describing is predictive text and it does not "auto predict". It will predict and show words above the keyboard that you can choose, but that is all.

Hey there,
I wonder why it's so hard to implement something like a txt-import or a common user dictionary (which doesn't depend on each keyboard itself)!? Is there any way to import words to the gingerbread stock keyboard or to the go keyboard? Sometimes I simply can't switch to try different keyboard because I would have to retype all of my words again, which is a real pain. When I was a keyboard app developer, I would first implement a import function, which really should be easy to do... Or is there a hack way to somehow interfer with the data of a app and simply edit the data-files!?
Thanks!
Guys
Quite daft question really, but I do not see a way for me to enter a carriage return (enter character) in order to format a SMS message? All the message text goes on the same line.
Have we all stopped using SMS to send messages?? Anyone?

Kik FTW.
But yeah, it seems as though there's no option to substitute the smiley key for the return key on the default keyboard... one hideous workaround would be to compose in Gmail, then copy and paste into Messaging.
You could install another keyboard...but that's sort of ridiculous.
If you push the space bar enough times and then type something it will start on the next line

Good that you confirmed that.. I was going mad trying to search for a way to format a simple message. The OS is two steps forward and one step backwards in some areas really...
Yep, another keyboard stands as a possible solution, but I wonder why Google missed such an obvious option..
Thanks!

It also wastes that many of your 140 characters, and will not necessarily wrap to the same location on the receiving device. Not a realistic solution in this case. It's similar to people centering text in documents by adding spaces to the front of the text instead of just hitting "Align Center".

Yeah, it is unusual. It would be an incredibly simple fix if I had the messaging app source code, though. I imagine the text field is just set to a certain type of input, much like the 10-digit keyboard that comes up in certain contextual fields. Is the messaging app part of AOSP? I think it is. I should play around with that... *makes a mental note*
I would have imagined that the carriage return would appear as an option directly or in one of the contextual options. Looking at some of the characters included, I find it hillarious that they have included characters like copyright, pi, carat, etc....Who uses these in SMS's? scientists?
I know its old, but...
... 've been wondering how to put LF in SMS messages.
See the attached LatinIME, it has two smilies changed and an Enter button on the dot extra characters button.

Hi,
I'm very, very impressed with my Galaxy Nexus and it's a superb phone.
However, as you've probably noticed, text prediction doesn't currently work in the browser and it's somewhat annoying.
Is there are workaround for this, or do we need to wait for an update?
I think it depends on the website however it is very annoying. It will still pick up spelling mistakes AFTER you've typed the word. The lack of automatic punctuation is annoying as well. Eg instead of I've it'll type it without the apostrophe.
I've tried toggling the auto correct settings but this doesn't do anything.

I use a different keyboard and it still does it when I type into the address bar. It is annoying but I think it is because if you want to type something custom into the address bar. Using the search box on a website puts it back to prediction though.
normal. Even with gingerbread and donut there was never text prediction in the browser

I'm almost positive text correction did work in the gingerbread browser. I too noticed it no longer works in the browser on ICE. Very frustrating.

Yes there was.
text prediction was never enabled in the browser search bar in gingerbread. Maybe it was enabled in other text boxes in the browser but not in the search box.
i would think itd be better without it because of how many website names or paths dont actually use real words, might be a pain in the ass always having it auto correct

that's exactly the reason why it isn't enabled.
Its not just the address bar, but also text and memo fields where text prediction isn't enabled.

OK then that should be fixed.
It's only because most people would prefer if auto-correct didn't screw up their website address bar typing.
If the browser address bar had text prediction it would drive me crazy...
Most of you are missing the point. For the address bar this makes sense, for text fields on websites and text boxes on forums it does not.
It's annoying.
It's a bug, and it's fixed in 4.0.3 (albeit at the cost of some very laggy typing).
Hi everybody,
I start this thread that the newly migrated iPhone users to S3 (like me) get help in finding missing features. If already started I apologize and the thread should be removed, if not perhaps it will be useful for many people.
I miss from my old iPhone (Cydia):
- SwipeSelection: position the cursor when texting by swiping on the keyboard. Also text selection by keeping the shift pressed and swiping again the keyboard. It's far more effective.
- AskToSend: send message confirmation like "Are you send you want to send?". Useful while sms texting and hitting the send button accidentally.
Do you have any ideas where I can find something similar?
I would search the Play Store.
I did but without success
Asktosend ------> Handcent sms is an alternative to stock sms app and have the "confirm send sms"
Swipeselection is already implemented in android whitout press shift.you can select text "long pressing the text"
Sorry for bad english

I've never felt the need to mess with autocorrect until now and I was wondering if it's possible. For example, if I type haha into a text message, it always brings up ha-ha. I know this is stupid and but for some reason it just annoys me. Is there any way to manage the preinstalled autocorrect words?
Thanks
