Setting > Language & Input > Google Keyboard setting > (check) Popup on Keypress
then u can go to advance setting and change popup delay
:good:

You can't enable pop-ups for tablets. I assume it's a design decision because the keys are that much bigger.

That option is not present on tablets...
Is there any other way to enable this...?

Having this same issue I really prefer to have the popup. Any way to enable this?

Only solution is another keyboard app that supports it. Try swiftkey, I use that for my tablet.

[Q] Keyboard Issue with my EVO

Hey guys, So I can't switch my default keyboard to the HTC_Mod, Better Keyboard or slide_it (the last two I uninstalled). I tried for the life of me to switch it but its a no-go. Do I have to re-do my ROM? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!

when I use the long press method and select a keyboard, the stock keyboard just reappears as if I didn't press anything.
How did you install them? Did you push the files?

both from the market. Its never done this before....hell I don't even know how to push anything on here
go to settings language and keyboard, see if they have a check next to them. then you should be able to long press and select them as an input option.

Did that. still no go.
try swiftkey, it forces the keyboard to switch, im not exactly sure how but going through the wizard it takes you to keyboard settings and then a notification pops up asking what keyboard to use

[Q] Way to easily change the keyboard?

Hey there,
I was used to changing the keyboard easily by long-pressing any text-input possible screen area and then selecting the desired keyboard.
Now I have to go all the way to the settings and change the default keyboard to the one i want to use at the time.
Is there any way to change this in a smoother way?
Cheers

Some keyboards support long pressing space (i think), other way is to select a text field and then pull down notification bar and select the "select input method" there.
/Edit:
Stock Keyboard support longpressing space, SwiftKey X does not

Problems sending picture texts and question about how to remap my multitasking keys

I am runnining this ROM:
[ROM][4.1.1][GSM][PRIMOU]Android Open Kang Project Jellybean
and it should be the 10/8/12 build.
I cannot send picture texts (it says "downloading" and then it doesn't go anywhere no matter if wifi/data are on. How can i fix this?
Also, i find the jellybean multitasking button useless if it doesn't bring up the multitasking apps instead of having to hold the home button. How can i remap this?
Also, if i were to re-rom my old stock rom can i still upload a kernel onto it to make it overclocked? Also, is the music app found in CM10 because on this rom its missing, i had to use a 3rd party music app to get this done.
Please help me with my questions, all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[Q] change s-pen default app?

Hello all,
Is it possible to change the default app from "s-notes" to autodesk "sketchbook pro" whenever the s-pen is removed from the phone?
I tried to set the "buddy" feature but that didn't work. ... maybe because sketchbook pro isn't officially s-pen enabled?
Anybody know a way to do this?
Thanks!
GP
Nobody?
did you ever find out?
I'm looking to change the same...

You can change the shortcuts on the extra screen that pop up when you take the s pen off the phone just like any other screen.
Ok, so far the best I can do is uncheck Settings > S Pen > Open Popup Note, then turn on Settings > Display > Page buddy, tap the text part of that option to get to the S Pen page option and check it. Then, when I pull my s-pen, it will open a special home screen page that I can at least add shortcuts and widgets to.
However, this only works with the stock TouchWiz home launcher. Still looking for another option.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162135
Can you guys pls tell if its possible to multi-task using S-pen i.e. can S-pen be used open the list of recent apps, the way long pressing home button does?
Thanks

Keyboard Hot Keys

Has anyone found the option in the default keyboard to set up hotkeys? My Note 4 had an option to set a long press on the number keys to one of 10 different editable words/phrases. I'm not finding that option anywhere in the Note7.
Thank you!

Yeah it sucks, that was literally the most useful thing that I've had on my cell phone in years, ever since the Note 4 they took it off all devices
