Spell Check after update - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi, I was hoping someone can help me out. I really like the new keyboard since the update. The one thing that I cant figure out is what happened to the spell checker. It no longer automatically substitutes the correct word like in the old keyboard. For example when i type teh instead of the, it doesnt correct it. I checked all setting and have spell checking turned on.
Any ideas?

Your best bet is to try another keyboard, maybe SwiftKey.
Also, for future reference, there is no need for the second post in a thread to quote the whole first post because it's obvious that whatever the second post says is a response to the first post. Let's get this sorted out people, so I don't have to keep saying it, mmmkay?

X2 for swiftkey ^_^

i am running the xquizit v16 rom and using the keyboard that it came with.. everything works fine, i type in teh and it corrects it to the.

X3 for SwiftKey. I'm using this as we speak. Lol
The best keyboard out to date.

Keyboard Full Stop Key!!!!

Can Anyone help here, Info of Google is limited or am using wrong Key words,
My Previous phone was the N97 and perfect Keyboard, Long Space Bar!!!!
This phone regardless how much i try i cannot Stop hitting that Full Stop key,
Everything els is Perfect,
Is there any mod? hack tweak app or anything to remove that Full Stop key to the right hand side of the space key :-(
lol
Thanks
I don't know of any such hack. The Americans would call that a "period" instead of a full stop
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
there are many keyboard replacement options. personally i didn't like on screen keyboards at all until i started using swype. beat one out there i've used
Heh, that's ironic! Saying how good a keyboard is, and the auto-correct gets it wrong!

Rofl.. well played I always hit the fullstop. Its getting on my nerves too lol, not sure why though.. im not used to any other touch screen phones besides HD2 and that has the same keyboard pretty much lol
Who said anything about it being correct? I was giving the OP another term to search, full stop
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks
I looked and looked and looked and could not find anything,
Maybe one day,
But in the hunt i come accross swype (Also noticed someone els post they use it in this thread)
Wow!!! very good very easy looks like i may of overcome my issue lol
The full stop instead of space has been bugging me for ages as well. Just trying out new keyboard from market called swiftkey beta. Seems better so far but no double tap space for a full stop might become a problem instead...
Swype in landscape moves the space bar to the side by the way

[Q] ...screw froyo

after trying every flavor out there, ive decided to stick with di18.
i am picky, i know, but the stock rom (rooted) is 100% what I like. there is not one thing that doesnt work the way i like it to.... so.... on that note
ive removed all the sprint apps, update.zip and its rooted but i cannot get the darn thing to stop asking me about the update...
<picture> epic with 2.2 and caption "DO NOT WANT!" </picture>
help
make it stop!
I believe you could just rename or remove the systemUpdater.apk and it would stop checking for updates
.. I think thats the correct name but if its called something else please correct me
Edit: I would just use Titanium and "Freeze" the system updater at first. but i think this is removed on custom roms anyway so shouldn't be a problem to remove it

well, im a big fan of the syndicate rom but it carries over what i dont like
the "google" search is slower than the stock search
the browser seems slower
messages in the "call log" annoy me
cant search in phone app by last name
keyboard seems to "miss" letters
except syndicate, dk and ce based roms just seem slower
if i could build roms i would and remove the carrier iq and add the extra functions when you hold down the power button.
btw, im a guy.... i need to change my sn lol
so, im going to just remove system updater, hope that works
I'm with you,I liked DK28 the best out of all 3 FROYO releases,and I actually had DI18 on all day today just to see what it was like again; And I forgot how damn smooth it was compared to this hacked-up **** we have right now,I know EC05 is young (and I plan on building EC05 still) but I'm making a DK28/EB13/EC05 ROM with no carrier IQ,and most if not all EC05 mods should work,I start on that as soon as I get off work.

What you listed doesn't make sense...
the "google" search is slower than the stock search It is the stock search.
the browser seems slower Fast and checkerboardless in SRF.
messages in the "call log" annoy me Not present in SRF.
cant search in phone app by last name Fair.
keyboard seems to "miss" letters Better than DI18 and user-adjustable in SRF.
I don't think you need to defend SRF kOnane... I think my problem is UV kernels,but I still can't narrow down the static/pops. But this is what I've seen sofar,when fast scrolling (scroll fast,then remove finger fast) no pops,but if I scroll with my finger on the touch screen the entire time,it pops like crazy ; Which makes me think its the touch screen driver,or interference on the bus when using the touch screen...

Keyboard Mistypes?

Recently I got the nexus but the keyboard is always making me mistype. I usually have spend more time checking errors and fixing them than the actually messages. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me? Should I try swiftkey3?
My usual errors are responsible for the space bar and delete.

Don't think theres anything inherently wrong with the stock keyboard. Think you gotta put the blame on yourself here. Try another keyboard?

My only issues are I always hit b instead of the space bar and when I get to typing fast it misses keys, but I type really fast.
Sent from my AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
Yeah still having the same issue. Seems to happen when typing way too fast and when I'm not paying attention to the keyboard.
Just got to get use to the keyboard, I was familiar with a 3'7 keyboard before the nexus lol. Sorry guys.

you should go into setting and set the keyboard to agressive correction grammar

How To Remap Search Key To Launch Camera

******NOOB WARNING*****'
I've been searching for a few days and haven't come up with anything. I'm trying to remap my search key to have it launch my camera instead. I just rarely use it and very much miss my dedicate camera hard key. I've tried the button remapper on one of these threads to no avail there seems to be one dedicate to Galaxy S phones but when I launched that one it said I wasn't using a supported device ( I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989), and when I downloaded the other button remapper it launched just fine but when I changed the command for the search key to camera it did nothing. Next I went into my root explorer and copied all .kl files with the 217 search key that I was lead to believe was the one I needed to edit and put them on my external sd and then preceded to modify the originals from "SEARCH" to "CAMERA." But that attempt failed as well. All that did was disable my search key all together. Not sure if I was on the right track here and just missed something or if that's just a completely idiotic attempt. Either way I've just Typically failed at my noobish attempt at Remapping my search key. If anyone can help this sad and disgraced noob please let me know.
Thanks!
P.S. My phone is rooted and I'm just running plain ole ICS 4.0.3 and I'm gonna post a screens of "about phone" section incase that helps at all. Sorry if I sound like an idiot but I'm very new to all this. Just rooted my first phone a few weeks ago. So if you could keep that in mind when you reply it would be much appreciated. Thanks again

Ok, well let me start out by saying I'm a moron. Below I posted and the whole recovery thing went way over my head. Lets just say the scapegoat there was not enough sleep and being way over worked. But anyway after writing that I realized how stupid I was. So I immediately pulled my head but of my but and went into recovery mode and installed your zip from there, reported, and still nothing for my search key. Is it because I screwed the pooh on my first attempt? Read the dribble I posted first and please lemme know:
First off, thank you very much for taking the time to reply and do all this for me. After reading your post I went out and got clockwork Rom manager which also lead me to download clockwork recovery. I then preceded to click on the zip file you provided and when it completed downloading I opened it. I took a snapshot of the screen that popped up. I clicked yes leaving the box checked that the program had checked for me (just as it is in the screen shot). Afterthat the phone preceded to do it's thing and a few minutes later the phone rebooted and now if I hit the search key it vibrates but doesn't actually do anything. Did I do something wrong along the way? Again, I really do appreciate you taking the time out for me and I'll be awaiting your response. Thanks!"
Stupid, I know. But I'll assume that that's probably the problem. If I can find some time tomorrow I'll try revolving the copy of the Rom I made before I killed my search key and then do it properly, and hopefully that'll be that and I'll FINALLY have my search key camera. Thanks again!

That happened to me as well. I then opened up my camera and pressed the search key while my camera was open. It took a picture. And booted, after that, pressing the search key then launched the camera. So try that.

Was kinda sceptical when I posted that I would just get a bunch of condescending remarks, but very happy to see this site isn't like some others I've been too. Anyway though, thanks a million. This is gonna be awesome for my twins. I keep missing good photos cuz it takes that extra few seconds to find my camera. Now I'll be able to get to it in a flash. Thanks again. You're awesome.

Hello again. I just download my first new ROM, Jedi mind trick, and I obviously lost my search button camera. Since I'm not running the stock ROM will the zip file you sent me previously still work to replace my search key with launching the camera? Thanks in advance!
The keymap files are at /system/usr/keylayout/
Different ROMs probably have different files, but I guess you can find the file(s) you need to change from "SEARCH" to "CAMERA"
Keep in mind, do a backup before change anything.

Right, always sure to do that. I made a backup of all the files I edited last time. Edited all the keylayout files last time though and didn't do anything. Maybe I missed one though. I'll give it a try and edit it when I'm do though. Thanks for the info!
---EDIT---Totally worked. Actually I think I had it set the first time I did this on my stock ICS Cruz when I pressed the search key once in camera it took a pic but the problem I was having all along was I just wasn't holding it down. Typical noob right? Oh well, learned my lesson. Try absolutely EVERYTHING before posting and sounding like a moron, lol. Anhway, elessb, would it be possible for you to instruct me on how to get to my camera on my lock screen like you have it. That would just be beyond amazing.

I've got Jedi Mind Trick running right now. Its blazing fast but its kinda buggy. Was in love with it at first, but the longer I have it, the more it's annoying me. Programs seem to freeze up quite often and stall out the phone for 30 seconds or so, and it seems to be doing it at least 3/4 times a day. I've heard good things about the cm ROMs. I know its kinda off topic, well maybe not all that much since I'm interested in the camera shortcut, but is there a specific ROM you'd reccomend concerning the camera shortcut, and of course with overall functionality in mind as well.
Thanks!

RENOVATE, why don't you stick with the "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!" principle?
I'm referring to the RENOVATE team's decision to do away the input method notification from the notification bar. Yes, monolinguals may not change their keyboard for their whole life, but multi-linguals like me speak and write 4 languages and change keyboard many times a day! This newly introduced "feature" (read: bug) is so irritating that I have to flash another ROM. The input method notification is there for a reason! If it ain't broken, don't ever fix it! The RENOVATE team can feel free to disable it by default if they like, but not give people options to enable it?

Thank you mate. The app works. For the time being I think it's the best solution.
But still, AOSP has a built-in feature that works just fine and then someone decided that the users can't use it because they don't use it, and now I have to download an app to do what I used to be able to do. It is just not right. I'm very disappointed at this kind of attitude.
Re: RENOVATE, why don't you stick with the "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!" princi
Top be honest mate you can't please all the people all the time and you might not like it but others will do unless you're going to build your own Rom then your bang out of luck.

Well, considering we do this for free... and most of us use SwiftKey anyways it's our choice in the end whether we want to include that function or not.

Well i didnt know we had so many multi language speaking users! For most people, they set up a keyboard, then they won't ever change it, therefore the notification coming up every time you write something gets really annoying. If it's such a big deal i'll add the keyboard switcher back in.
Wouldnt it of been a lot easier to just ask nicely in thread and not create a thread about it?
and long press to kill apps is 100% working how it should be.

He can't post in Development threads since he's a new user mate.
IceColdJelly (or AOKP, not sure) has the option to disable the keyboard popping up in the notification bar - i disabled it my self. It should atleast be a user choice. On the other hand, if it can be revived by a simple app, the devs may remove it if they wish, its their project, and its done free of charge in spare time
