[Q] Samsung Keyboard Autocorrect

Before you post the link to the XDA noob video, no, this isn't a question about 'how to enable autocorrect on the stock keyboard'
It's actually a question about autocorrect on the stock Samsung Keyboard.
Is there any way to force the autocorrect bar to permanently stay above the keyboard when XT9 is enabled, like the Gingerbread keyboard? When typing in, say, the Messaging app, the autocorrect bar pops up when I enter something and disappears when I hit space, making the little text entry box go up-and-down-and-up-and-down making me quite dizzy since my eyes have to bob up and down.
I would just use the gingerbread keyboard but the banding on that kb is annoying.
If it matters, GT-i9100, VR1.1, pulser_g2's KE2 multi-CSC package (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14254203#post14254203)
Thanks!

Im currently using the Gingerbread Keyboard from Marketplace, as far as im aware there is nothing at the moment that can be done to stop the autocorrection box appearing/Disappearing !
i think the samsung keyboard is rather annoying, the space bar is way too small causing me to press the . button atleast 1 in every 5 words.. annoyance !

i have been looking everywhere for a fix, nothing so far!
i hope this thread will get enough attention and the keyboard can be modded.
the only reason im not using samsung keyboard is because of this issue

OK, I just downloaded the version from the Market (the free one from Steven Lin, right?).
No banding )) but vibrate on keypress doesn't do anything.
Can you test on yours and see if vibe works?
Thanks!

X9 in settings that is what enables it. Though doesn't work on custom roms I have no idea why.
Cheers.

You mean to enable autocorrect for the stock Samsung keyboard?
Re-read my post. I have no problem enabling it, but it's the execution that is annoying.
If only I could get vibration working for the Gingerbread keyboard (the apk I got off xda works, but there's noticeable banding, while the one off the market has no banding but vibe doesn't work).

I am also using the Gingerbread Keyboard and it is 100% better, more responsive and better with predictive text than the crappy Samsung KB.

At the end of the day I got HTC_IME installed and will probably be sticking with that.
No banding, vibration works, autocorrect is great & doesn't give me a seizure. Only problem is that it crashes the Samsung Email app (but I use the stock Gmail app so it's not a problem).
Does anyone know how to get vibration working on the Market GB kb?
Thanks!

if you use gingerbread KB you need to change the Vibrate setting to "normal" in advanced settings and it should work !
Thanked you accidentally too Lol. but you can keep it

Why thank you very much. I have returned the favor
Well actually I would have thanked you either way, since setting the vibe intensity to Normal as you suggested worked.
Thanks again

I'd recommend Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey X Beta. both a LOT better than the Samsung KB and both offer superior prediction and customisation. Thumb has split KB and customisation too.

Lol no problem.

glad it all works if you get the paid version you can have different haptic Vibes on the keyboard, pretty neat !

Currently downloading the English pack for SwiftKey X. Looks pretty cool. Thanks for the suggestion!
Got it installed. I like how it can personalize my autocorrect via my Facebook account and SMSes. Autocorrect is great. Thanks again.

Is it just me or does the vibrate seem to be a bit stronger than other keyboards (particularly the Samsung one)? Just a minor niggle lol.
whoo hundredth post! I'm a senior member now

Smart Keyboard Pro for me.

Another keyboard to consider is Smart Keyboard Pro. It has tons of options to configure.

Can you still use swype with one of these keyboard apps?

I use swiftkey x and swype alternatively depending on what I'm typing. The prediction in swiftkey is spooky good.

I bought Smart Keyboard Pro. Autocorrect is as good as the others and I like the themes. Which one should I stick with...

LOL thanks. Not my first Android phone though On the others I just stuck with the stock kb (HTC_IME and the SE ime) which weren't too bad. The Samsung one is just that bad (anything which gives me a headache ain't good).

Yes. I have succeeded with the Logitech diNovo keyboard/mousepad.

Really? Very good!!!! Thank you!

Yes, it works with all the BT mice and keyboards that I have, except for the Apple BT keyboard ....... strange.

Where Are Mouse Cursors Stored?
The cursor is quite small and I would like to use a larger one - does anyone know where the cursors are stored on the A100?

Haha, treu that! Never trust compatibility with Apple, cuz, there is none...
You need your A100 rooted in order to check where it is. I am currently to lazy but to look it up.

It sure will! I am using the Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard for Android, and it works great.

Just tested here on my Iconia Tab A100 with ICS and it works perfectly!

Thank for the info

I get heavy stutter with the Logitech Android BT keyboard and the V470 when using at the same time with HDMI display. Really disappointing.

Hiya,
the one from the market works fine on my Galaxy Nexus, but the last VIP beta i tried wouldn't let me into the settings. The cool blue theme goes really well with ICS on the phone - enjoy!

It works for the mast part with ICS, but it is currently bugged in it's display / GUI. The devs are aware of the issue, and are hoping to have it resolved within the week.

Can we use old dictionaries from Gingerbread with it? My dictionary did specialize quite a lot with months and months of use and I'd like to use it with ICS again. Did anyone try that?

Does anyone using SwitfKey have a keyboard icon in the notification bar which says "Select Input Method" ?

Happens as soon as you install any third party keyboard. It's the same in honeycomb and i think it's a quite good feature.

[Q] what keyboard?

When I first got this phone ,the keyboard I could click on voice or I had the option to use my finger to spell out the word on the screen instead of typing it out .hopefully that makes sense

Sounds like SwiftKey?

The stock LG keyboard allows tracing as well as the new SwiftKey

[Q] External keyboard problem with Skynote 9.3 ROM

I've installed the Skynote 9.3 ROM and most everything is great. LMT is even working (based on the forum this was unexpected)!
The bummer is that my bluetooth external keyboards are not working. The shift key does not function at all and many characters cannot be typed using caps lock. Most other keys are working. I noticed that another user had a similar issue when using an external keyboard with a dock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38247524&highlight=shift+key#post38247524 . In my case it happens with or without the dock. This was not an issue with the stock ROM.
Any suggestions about what to try? Or do I need to go back to stock?
BTW, I would have posted this in the other thread, but I'm a new user and therefore not allowed...

Running the same Rom. But haven't tried using a external keyboard. Not sure why you would be having those problems. When Sean leaves everything in tact when in comes to his Rom's. Meaning it's just like stock Rom.
What type of keyboard?
Another thing did you try re pairing the keyboard and see if that helps?

I have two bluetooth keyboards (one is a perixx folding keyboard and the other is a HP keyboard came with a TouchPad webOS tablet) and I've tried both, and tried re-pairing them. They partially work: I can type in lowercase just fine, but when I hold down the shift key, the other keys no longer function (no caps or symbols). They both worked fine with the stock ROM.

Ok cool. It does work but not the shift key. Probably cause it's a different key on the keyboard vs the one on the actual Bluetooth keyboard! That's why it's not working has this issue b4, using another keyboard to do something similar!

Yeah I know. If that's the case it might just be something minor missing that's stopping it from working!!
