Hi guys,
Bit of an annoying one this that I hope one of you extremely clever registry devs can tweak for me.
When writing emails / text messages i always use the physical keyboard, however I like the XT9 setting as it automatically spell checks and inserts capitals / punctuation etc.
The problem is i can easily set it to XT9 in the settings or by opening the software keyboard and pressing the ABC / XT9 button
or
by using the green function key, space (XT9), XT9 English
but as soon as I've completed my message or turned off the handset etc. it's forgotten, meaning I have to do this manually each time.
Is there any way to set default as XT9 in registry?
Kind Regards
Darren
Anybody got any ideas here? Driving me mad doing it manually every time.
I've just got my new TouchPro2 and I'm suffering from exactly the same problem. I love the new phone but this is the one thing that's driving me nuts!
I used to have it in my TPro and now it's gone missing in the TP2
I know, well you can still use it but many keypresses per use.
Slightly annoying.
I find this highly annoying too. I don't see why it can't be in XT9 as standard or at least just remember the last setting used!?
It's working!!! I've just found out that if you activate T9 in the Full QWERTY virtual keyboard, you'll get it work using the hardware keyboard.
did you not even read the original post?
of course it works like that, however only for that session. as soon as you're done and try and send another text or email etc you'll have to press those buttons again to activate it.
I don't have any problem typing using T9 messages after another using the hardware keyboard...
Even after I soft reset it, it's still working
haha brilliant, worked it out.
Here's the fix...i think.
Open new message in portrait, open software keyboard, click XT9 and then OK to close the window.
Rotate handset and do the same, open software keyboard, select XT9 and quit using "OK".
After this it should default to XT9.
You need to use the OK to close though and save the setting. If you send or cancel your settings will be forgotten.
This will save for all portrait and landscape modes. You'll need to do it for each area but i can agree that i have it saved in texts and emails now.
No more having to repeat actions over and over again.
Edit: seems to only save sometimes, also totally unable to save the XT9 setting in Touchflo conversation mode with text messaging.
bump...
I really enjoy using the functionality of xt9. And subsequently would greatly appreciate it having it available while using the hardware keyboard. any thoughts of having this available by default without having to set it to XT9 each time i open the keyboard
There has to be a registry setting somewhere...

It does "per session" but it does not stick on program close/reset.
boooooooooooooooooooo....man i hope someone can figure this out
Has anyone figured this out? It's really annoying that I have to enable XT9 with several different keystrokes at the beginning of any txt msg...
(Using the 9/14 NRG 2.1 STD ROM.)
HD/WVGA Tweak
On some customer ROM's I have seen a program called WVGA or HD Tweak. I searched and found CAB file for this as well. In this software, there is an option to turn on X9 all the time. You can also set how many suggested words to pop up. It reminds me of how the WING would operate when it suggested words!
Wow, thread starter, you read my mind. I've been looking for something like this since the day I got my phone.

This turns on Windows Default X9, which makes phone SIP & compact qwerty SIP inoperable (only outputs numbers). So, this in no way is a fix.
And, the cab you're referring to is EZInput 1.5 specific, has 0 affect on EZInput 2.x.

same thing happened to me when I tried to use it. Turns the phone SIP inoperable.
no solution for this issue yet? (aka, bump!)
I did a tweak to add a drop down box which suggests words as im typing and for some reason i no longer have letters on the full qwerty keyboard...can someone help me with this
uh. undo your tweak. or at least mention what you did.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3452853&postcount=18
this is the tweak i did
Same has happened to me after doing this tweak. Reversing it and reseting made no difference. The keyboard now has all the number plus the letters p and w only.
This is very odd!
I am having this issue also it might be S2U2 or the slider CAB I installed those are the last major updates I installed. I am thinking about just doing a hard reset and reinstalling everything one by one but I am procrastinating or just being outright lazy. I will let you know though if I find the answer.
I re-edited the registry back to et9 instead of XT9 which restores the keyboard.
I then set it back to COMP and everything is OK again.
installed swype using a apk and sync
its on the sd card says installed successfully etc
listed as an app but not in the running apps
have rebooted etc
so whats wrong?
not in the input method select list all i have is touch and ime mod
enable in keyboard and languages
how friggin good is it. accuracy is very very high even at first use. can imagine how fast you can type when you get used to it
Have you gone to Language & Keyboard and put a check next to Swype? After doing that you will need to goto either a message or email and press and hold in the text area to get the "Input Select" option.
Hi, I've been using swiftkey as my default keyboard now for many months, however over the couple of months I've noticed that it keeps resetting the default back to the android keyboard. This is now happening more frequently and is really annoying as I typically only notice it when I need to respond to an sms or email. Sadly it's not just as simple as long pressing an input field and reselecting swiftkey via the input method as it actually de-selects it from the keyboard settings.
I could really use some advice as, I having paid for this app, I want it to work.
To confirm I don't get any crashes or errors and I haven't been able to tell what is causing it.
Just throwing it out there, as i have never tried anything like it, but is it whenever it is updated from the market? Because if that is the case, you can just stop updates and only install new versions on demand.
Try moving app from SD card to phone or try new beta version of swiftkey X.
Settings>Language & keyboard settings>set Swiftkey keyboard. If this does not work, try wat ksavai said.
Good advice thanks. The app is now moved to SD card so I'll see how it goes.
oh and to answer the other point, the issue is that the Swift option is de-clicked in the options / keyboard screen
I have just the problem when i reboot my phone, now with swiftkey beta i have no problem
ok so it looks like it must have been a conflict on the old swifkey app. I moved it to the SD card and it failed almost immediately.
Now on beta and it hasn't failed once.
So will I have to pay again for this version?
Hi
I am also a SwiftKey user, I don’t think we ll have to pay for the new version, the licence will be valid for both keyboard....

I just updated my SM-T800 to lollipop 5.02 (T800XXU1BOCC_T800XAC1BOC4_XAC) and I'm using google keyboard. The problem I'm having is that I can't add words to the dictionary. ie. if I type "haha" I have the option of selecting "Hanna" or other similar words but I can't select "haha" and "touch to save" doesn't appear. I think there's a problem with the personal dictionary or loading the personal dictionary. When I go into [settings-general-language and input-google keyboard settings-google keyboard-text correction] and tap on personal dictionary I'm routed to wifi settings. I have tried a factory reset and reflashing the stock rom twice.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is anyone able to help?
No personal dictionary

Yes, I am.
The normal route to add to or edit sends me to my Network settings.
Using stock android, Google Now launcher. 5.0.2.android. Google keyboard
Had to reset tablet and reinstall everything. Since then...gone.
Annoying obviously.
No idea why, how it happened.

Hi. I have the same issue. Non more solution ?
This problem persists until now, June 2016.
Yes I have this also. Android 5.0.2 on a note pro tab. My phone (6.0.1) does not rout me to the wifi settings in the same way, but still seems to be missing the option to add words on the fly as you type them. Does this mean that the only way to add words to your personal dictionary is to record them somewhere and then do so directly via the settings interface? How archaic..
It also took me a while to realise that the settings can only be accessed via the comma button (long press) from the keyboard itself, as there is now no flag to alert you to this since the recent update, and apparently no other way in.
Nevertheless, and even in the absence of any 'add to dictionary' option, the dictionary did seem to fill up with endless amounts of partial, wrong, or capitalised words (for instance I just got 'Calif' when I typed the 'capit' just now - what is a Calif'???).
I deleted all data from the app, but still they come, as Jare said. I would love to be able to access whatever dictionary this thing is using, and kill it, because it is not English. If there is a supplementary dictionary of acronyms and abbreviations and cultural slang then that should be an option you can opt out of.
A Spell checker should never autocorrect to a word that is not correct in the language you are writing - this is rather obvious I would have thought. For people who work on this gear full time a bit more control would be great.
