I hate to ask such a simple question - especially because in the past I've seen the option but here goes:
Where is the option to turn off full screen keyboard? I'm not sure if it was a universal setting or only allowed in specific apps. I would love the option to universally turn off full screen keyboard since it seems to cause conflicts for so many apps.
THANK YOU and sorry to waste time with such a simple question but it's been driving me bonkers searching through settings!
I am using Smarrt Keyboard if that is relevant.
I think some apps can do it somehow but I've never seen it as a global option. I'd like to know how to do it if possible.

That's what I'm afraid of =/
Some apps manage it well, other apps completely mess it up - behavior like typing and nothing shows up until you close the keyboard. Makes it pretty useless!
Oh well, maybe someone will chime in. I also contacted the developer of Smart Keyboard, so perhaps we will get an answer to this seemingly simple question
I think the ideal behavior is something like how the browser handles landscape view.
Bump for any ideas
I have noticed that with the stock keyboards, whenever I type really fast they always fail to detect the 2nd keystroke that was made within short interval after the first one. Is there a keyboard out there that could fix this problem or is it a inherent deficiency with the capacitive onscreen keyboards?
On a side note, can anyone tell me where to download the gingerbread in android market? I have looked high and low and couldn't find it.
I honestly haven't used the factory keyboard... I've got Swiftkey X, it seems to handle multitouch. I've even tried typing leaving my first finger down while pressing the next - no issues.
That's not the reason I got it though, I got it because it's built on a slick predictive text algorithm, it predicts the next words it thinks you might want to type so you type less. And the voice recognition I like better too, if you use the voice-to-text... it gives you 3 options to pick from so you aren't stuck groaning at whatever it thought you said.
if you search for gingerbread keyboard in the market you should find it. I think the developer is steven lin and it is called "keyboard from android 2.3"
I am using swift now and it also has that missing keystroke problem. I have also noticed that text prediction doesn't work with at least gmail application. In addition, like the samsung keyboard, there is no way to force use my own "misspelled" word when prediction is enabled.

I noticed lag with stock keyboard, switched to swiftkey (my always default) and still a little laggy... I came across A.I.keyboard, tried it and its like swiftkey with no lag and cool customization ...I'm really starting to really like this keyboard ...been using it the past few days and liking it alot...
No lag for me

Cant front, autocorrection on the stock keyboard sucks majorly. Is there an option to turn up the level of auto correction or do you guys know of a better keyboard? Im thinking of installing the LatinIME gingerbread keyboard. Also, i cant seem to find the option to turn off haptic feedback on tge stock keyboard.
What do you guys reccomend?
settings > language and input > hit "default Engilsh (US) - Android Keyboard)" > hit "Configure input methods" > hit the "settings icon" next to "android keyboard.
In here, there are lots of options. Vibrate on keypress, sound on keypress, etc. If you click on "Auto Correction" it has different settings. By default it is on "modest". There is "aggressive" and "very aggressive". There is also advanced settings at the bottom.
i am not sure how you type, but i have no issue with the auto correction of the stock keyboard.
in fact, i am well impressed with it as well. as there is some sort of blind type DNA in the stock keyboard, that is for sure.
I've had no problems with it so far and I'm a novice when it comes to typing on an Android phone (Even though I've been using them for 5 years) auto correct is doing its jobs worth for me.
my only issue is that I keep hitting the "b" button instead of a space because of the larger screen... and 80% of the time it fixes that automatically.
The ICS keyboard is very good IMO. The only alternative I would recommend is SwiftKeyX but I didn't like it. It was too aggressive and screwed me up more then my typing.
Seriously, are you typing without looking at the screen? I've misspelled some words pretty bad and auto correct hasn't gotten it wrong once yet for me. Not sure what you're doing...

Sometimes lol, but no seriously, i like auto capitalization of "i" and auto punctuation sometimes. I like the aesthetics of the keyboard but simple stuff like correctjng these coomon words that im tryjnh to type here and tge keyboard doesny aytocorrect. I think i type pretty fast in landscape so id like for mg simple mistakes to be corrected so im not slowed down much. I also have pretty decent sized hands so maybe that plays in as well.
Okay, i just turned off the haptic feedback and turned up autocorrection to aggressive. Howevrr, i jusg notice that there was an optkon to show suggested word corrections. I made sure it was on. However, as i tgpe no suggestions appear like tgey did on the gingerbread keyboard. Also, you can, see my mispelled words. None autocorrections were made on "aggressive" setting. Do yiu guys get auto correction suggestion popups?
I'm having same issues, a lot of words end up garbled nonsense as well. Must mean I really suck at typing on that thing but I am definitely quite a bit slower than on real keyboards like palm pre and G1.
Tgiz sentence is tyoed with autocorrection on very aggresive. As you can see i am sgill making manh mistakes and none are beinh corrected. Not one time has a suggestion popped uo and corrected my mistakes. Tge is not corrcted to "the" as yiu can still see! Am i foing somethijg wrong?
It seems so as I typed a lot of mistakes on the default keyboard with this message and they all corrected

Is your autocorrect just not working at all??
Stock keyboard would be a lot better if it was bigger. Like compare to the wp7 KB on the htc titan and androids is pathetically small. I think I'm going to take a stab at making a wp7esk KB for android...yea all current options are that bad IMO. Swype is to small, thumb KB is right size but is to slow. Might be able to go straight off of ics source...

Nope, not in the browsers. In messaginh and other apps, just not the browsers. On androidfroums they say its a known issue. So hopefully google fixes it in the next update.

auto correct does not work at all places.
you can define certain type of field it is to disable auto correct.
for example, when you type in password field, auto correction is disabled by default.
in browser, its set to the mode where there is no auto correction.
Swiftkey is much better keyboard but the only problem I have is the voice input with swiftkey isnt native. They have their own processing engine that returns 3 options. The google one types as you speak.
I had issues with hitting letters instead of space and it got too annoying. SwiftKey auto predict and customization is so much better.
I tried SwiftKey X as an alternative, but thought it was trying to be a tad too smart for its own good *shrugs
I've always used Better Keyboard leading up to getting my GN, however have not felt the need to upgrade from the stock ICS keyboard as yet, its doing an A+ job imo.
Looking at your passages, it looks as though auto correct isn't even turned on lol,
I can see the mistakes you're making and i make the same mistakes in my texts, emails and tweets, however ICS keyboard corrects all for me just fine
Used to use only swift key, but once I got my nexus, I stuck with the ics keyboard and just put it to aggressive and I'm liking it much better, although it was great for a stock one, aggressive is MUCH better

Hello everyone! I just got my One X on Monday and so far I'm pretty happy with it, despite some small hiccups due to the first version of the SW.
Today I have installed an alternative camera app from the Market (Lg Camera Pro) and I turned off in the options the sound of the shutter. Guess what? The HTC stock keyboard stopped playing its sounds eversince, and no matter what I do there is no way to have them back. I have also uninstalled the Lg Camera app, but to no avail.
My idea is that the app has somehow overwritten some system file and as a result the keyboard is now mute. But is it possible, considering the handset is not even rooted yet?
Any ideas are very welcome.. if I don't find any other solution I will have to go for a full reset.
I have a heap of iPhone mates that I wish could find this LG app you mention. They all sit there in the room, going tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick on their phones while txting...sounds like a bloody stenographer's convention!
Sorry, I have no answer to your problem, but I am glad people around you are enjoying the silence

How about your screen lock / unlock? Is the sound still on? If doesn't then try to install some sound manager apps (ex: Audio manager) and check the volume level for system.
Awesome tip OP! A way to remove annoying keyboard sounds, will apply it if I get this phone and trial it on other devices.

You can always disable the keyboard sound via the keyboard setting menu. Most of the HTC device come with keyboard sound turned off.
I normally use the keyboard on mute, but that has nothing to do with the fact that I should be able to turn the sound on if I wish to do so!
Anyway I had to do a factory reset from recovery to have it back. Thanks to all.
Best tip I can give you : go to vip.swiftkey.net, sign up for the beta and download free Swiftkey 3.0 beta!
The keyboard is amazing compared to any other keyboard and since it's beta it's also free ;-)!

How does it compare to Swype?

It's an entirely different way of typing. Swype is faster because you don't have to remove your finger from the keyboard (at least not that often).
Swiftkey is faster because it predicts words insanely well, if you write "I'll be there in 5 min" for example it will suggest "be there in 5 min" after you write I'll.
It's a very intresting piece of software which learns what you type the most and how you type it.
Also the new beta even adds spaces between words if you have forgotten it (check video in the thread in VIP section of swiftkey for example).
I tried Swype, Swiftkey, SlideIT, stock keyboard, Sense 4.0 keyboard and I still love Swiftkey the most. At the start it isn't that great but when you use it a few days it becomes 10x better (because of the "learning" of the software).

Hmm, interesting. THanks for your detailed response, i will definitely give it a try!
I tried it a few times, but I'm too old-school clearly!!
Ever since the update to One UI 2.1 where I think the Samsung Keyboard got updated, I've been having horrible typing experience. The word prediction and auto-correct are broken. Example, I am trying to type "Pork" and it auto-corrects to "Prom"
Yes!... For some reason I keep getting "ication" just added at total random. I've even cleared the keyboard and reset it. Not sure why

Can't stand the Samsung keyboard.. have trouble with it in two languages.. on Gboard, and all is well .
Same here. I switched to the Google Keyboard because I could not take it anymore.

They updated it to be able to write in multiple language without having to switch.
But i agree, i got some issue like suggesting a single word with the same but with a second word "br" after, which is none of any kind.
After some "practice" though, I got less strange things.
Mine was completely unusable and had to go to Gboard for now.
Sam sung keyboard errors are difficult to overcome

How is it better on Gboard? It states on Google playstore: "Multilingual typing – No more switching between languages manually. Gboard will auto-correct and suggest from any of your enabled languages."
I hate having suggestions from both languages at the same time, even though I switch between them. I wish there was a fix for it.

Well, it takes one click on the 'globe' to switch between languages, suggestions come for the current language only, and while not perfect, Google offers a far better and closer suggestions to what I try to type than Sammi keyboard does. I do admit I haven't got Sammi a chance to improve, I type tons in my phone and can't be a their tester, not when I pay $1,000 on a phone..
Yes, I have troubles too either with French or English. I came back to my old "Swype+Dragon" keyboard - unfortunatly no longer available for new users.
