I finally rooted my phone last night, using the instructions on the general section. It went well, and I had no problems.
I got my phone set up today and went to type a text message and noticed that they keyboard no longer has punctuation symbols above the letters. Long pressing the letters gives me alternate letters, but no punctuation. Pressing and holding the period key will give me a very limited number of punctuation marks, but for most of them, I have to go to Gym to get to them.
I'm on the 5.1.1 ROM and kernel that were included in the rooting guide. Other than adding a couple of apps like Titanium and Root Explorer, I have done nothing to the phone. I really would like to get my keyboard back to what it was before. Before rooting, I was on 5.1.1 BP1 and had been for a year. During that time, I had the correct keyboard. The ROM included in the rooting guide is BP1.
How can I get my keyboard back?
Thanks.

Can't say I've seen a problem with that, but you might want to give some more info for people to look at. Like, what ROM you are running and any apps you have installed, especially before the problem started.
youve got HD tweak installed havent you. and youve turned on the option for T9 in HD tweaks options...it just messes the keyboards up completely,i had the same problem. turn the T9 tweak off and it should be fixed.
I finally had a ROM and config I was really happy with, and as of this morning the onscreen keyboard seems locked in a numeric mode. There seems to be no way to get it back to qwerty. I tried switching languages and keyboards and everything I can think of. My onscreen keyboard is gone. It's just numeric and useless. What obvious thing am I missing? This happened once before when it locked itself in the web keyboard (no spacebar) but that went away after a reboot. This time it's locked. I tried a LOT before posting here.
EDIT: I don't seem to be able to delete this message, but maybe it'll be handy in the search for others looking. I searched on THIS forum before I posted, but then I was smart and searched ALL forums. I feel stupid for not thinking of that sooner. Sorry sysadmins. My bad.
I re-installed my keyboard software that uses the old style auto-correction (not T9) and it solved it.
Hi,
This is a strange issue I haven't seen anyone post about yet.
So ICS has this nice new text replacement feature that looks like this (courtesy Android Police's GNex Review):
http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wm_Screenshot_2011-12-20-18-20-54.jpg
Now, I can long-press the word, the replace menu with the replacement words comes up, I click the word, the word changes. No problem, right? Well, if I either keep typing, rotate the screen, or send the message, the word I just replaced goes right back to the word I didn't want it to be. Example: The phone autocorrected a misspell of 'bring' to 'being'. I long-press being, change it to bring. I rotate the screen or wait/continue typing...it changes back. I tried it over 10 times...ever time it never sticks. It only sticks if I manually backspace and retype it.
Any idea why this would be happening? Phone info:
ICS 4.0.2 stock rooted
Only mod is Google Wallet APK
I don't know how long it's been happening but I feel like it only worked on the day of release, at best.
I don't know if this is something I'm just supposed to deal with, or if I'm just going at this wrong, but if I'm on a webpage and I want to get to a completely seperate one I will just slide open the keyboard and start typing. Ever since the stock OTA to 2.3.5 I have noticed that if I'm on a webpage (I usually use Dolphin, but I see the same behavior on the stock browser) and I start typing, the first letter shows that it's typed, then the next one I type overwrites the first.
It's only a small thing, but I never noticed it before. I am new to this whole scene and am running cleangb with touchwiz and the sms fix, and I still see it there. Is this common? Does no one else navigate around like me?
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!
I'm kinda confused by this post, at first it sounds like you're on the stock gingerbread rom of Epic and then you mention you're on CleanGB. Just want to check that first. Second, does this happen on any other app you type on? I do remember having a similar problem one time and I found it was a flash that went wrong, screwed up the character display to only be 1 character wide. Either try wiping and starting from scratch or let me know some more info so I can help.
So here is my problem. Recently I upgraded from 4.1.3 to 4.3. I noticed that the Samsung keyboard now no longer seems to learn new words. Whenever I try to swipe "s#!t" or "[email protected]#$", or even a more modest word like suck, I can't use swipe. It never gives me such options. I can still type them letter by letter, but that's v slow and annoying. The Old keyboard learned the words. The new one doesn't, unless I don't know how, in which case please tell me.
Tapping the new word or clicking arrows doesn't seem to do anything.
Bump...
[SOLUTION for 4.3 Keyboard learning new words]
Found the solution by chance.
So I went into the settings once more, and I saw that auto replacement was switched off. So I switched this on and tried words that it didn't remember previously. And now it suddenly remembers the words! The more you use the words the better it seems to be able to predict them.
Happy camper!
