Go to settings>locale and text>uncheck the "default input" checkbox (not sure about the exact label, but it's second to the top, my phone's language is lolspeak )
Be warned though, you will not be able to access "symbols" menu. When you press
the button under "enter", it'll just act the same as the alt button, the blue one. So, you can't enter an underscore and other symbols like $.

Yes, when in the described mode, press and keep pressing the letter that contains the special symbol.
For instance, if you need the symbol 'ö', press and keep pressing 'o', the rest will point itself out.

Then this seems like a bug. Maybe report this? Where?

get ride of the language bar when using hard keys?

Hi,
whenever i use the hard keyboard, that stupid little language bar pops up on the bottom. I always press the eng button by accident and change the language.
How can I get rid of it without, losing softkeys on portrait mode and the symbol function.
thanks!
Ray
The only way I know to get rid of the language bar is to install another keyboard, but you lose the symbol function. Check this thread out for a great alternative, the keyboard linked includes an auto-correction for the physical keyboard, which in my opinion, is a brilliant addition as well as easily accessed symbols.
really?
so theres no way to type underscore "_" in landscape mode?
I suppose if you were desperate you could leave the default text input active and switch to it from the HTC keyboard when you wanna use an underscore. Although that's a little tedious lol.
That sucks...
Thanks anyway

Hi,
I guess, you can do it by :
Settings> Locale & text> Un-checking "DEFAULT INPUT"

Yes, we know that, but if i do that, I won't be able to type _ anymore.
Lol cant u close the phone and do undetscore thru one of the side sliders of th portrait keyboard.. how lame sony have been with minor amazingly annoying smart ( or dumb lol) phone issues on th xperia range. Iv had th original x1 then x10 m pro and overall pleased with both. Its just th connectivity/compatabillity that's gettin on my goose...

Yes I can, but in the process of doing so, i might press something else and changed the language to estonian or something. It's a great phone, but these small details annoy me. Crapy contact dialer and crappy symbol keys.

Swype cursor, who knew?

Swype has always frustrated me, when you need to move forwards and backwards much in a text field, it is difficult to do with your finger and I could not find anything to help in swype.
All I had to do was hit the bottom left swype button and then slide to the symbol key right next to it. BAM, there it is. It's probably most helpful for copy and paste and some other situations where you just can't move the cursor with your finger.
Just an fyi, and also wondering if this was already common knowledge?

I wouldn't call it common knowledge, but it's been known for a while. I found out about it in a tips and tricks thread somewhere.
Also, try the same thing, but slide to "f" instead of "sym" to pull up a number pad

Are there more shortcuts?
-swype key then symbol key
-swype key then f
...more?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
also, in 2.2, in text entry fields, if you tap the field a movable cursor shows up that you can slide left and right.
A lot of tips like these are in the General Sticky....
that said, I do not know if its a shortcut, but I love going from the apostrophe to "s".... I can type words like "what" and then with that gesture quickly make is "what's"
also, if "bump" from one letter to the next it helps swype identify the letter you are really going for (ie, you go across a row and there could be a few correct letters).
I take it that none of you had ever done the tutorial with swype on your phone...

Swype > F is the only one from this thread that is not on there.. and that is not all that much needed from using the other number pad.
Swype -> q switches it to AZERTY. It doesn't switch it back. Pretty useless.
These Swype shortcuts are all on the Swype website lol

To switch back, press and hold the top-left button (where Q used to be) and choose U.S. English. If you've picked Korean by accident, press and hold where the A button was to switch back to English.

[Q] keyboard keys in wrong place

hi people
was just typing an email earlier and i realised that the @ button is in the wrong place. when i press [email protected] i get a " instead, these two keys seem to be in the wrong position. i was just wondering if this is same on all the keyboards and if it can be corrected.
thanks

...that's just the british keyboard layout lol.
Go into settings, select language and input, then double check everything is set correctly to your local language.
This issue occurs if you have the incorrect language setup, for instance in the UK if you set it to 'English (United States)" then you get the @ when you press shift 2 instead of getting a ".
Also make sure you actually select the ASUS keyboard as the current one.
If you select a different keyboard (like Thumbkeyboard or Swype) the virtual keylayout will reset to en_US.
See my thread here for a permanent fix for this issue.

Remove a word from the stock keyboard?

Hi, this has been bothering me for a while so I figured I'd ask about it. Essentially, I want to remove the word 'yo' from the keyboard because I don't use 'yo' and I hate whenever it accidentally autocorrects to 'yo' when I type in 'you'.
I know how to add words to the dictionary, but I can't seem to find the option to delete pre-inserted words from the keyboard. Anyone know?
Sent from my Nexus 4.
On some keyboards; SwiftKey, you can press and hold on a word and it gives you the option to remove it from dictionary.
Try it, it might work on stock keyboard as well.

Nope. Unless I'm misunderstanding pressing and holding on a word just brings up the highlight prompt to copy/paste/etc.

Which keyboard do you use? Samsung or Android?
Go to empty space on one of your pages. Doesn't matter which page
Long press until list of options appears. Scroll/Select Shortcuts
Scroll down and select Settings
Scroll down and select User Dictionary. Edit as needed.

Click to collapse
You can also go into Settings > Language and input ( or Locale and text on some phones) > Samsung keyboard (or Android keyboard) > User dictionary. You can edit your words there.

As I mentioned before, depends on what keyboard you are using. The aforementioned solution was pertaining to SwiftKey only.

[APP] Wirtos' T9 Keyboard for Verge/Stratos/Pace

Simple Kotlin keyboard app for Amazfit Stratos|Verge|Pace.
No autocomplete, only English, Russian and Ukrainian languages(it's very easy to add new one, look into res/xml/number_pad_* and MainActivity.keyMaps. Pull requests appreciated. You can also ask me to add new language in the next update), all dimensions are hardcoded, no way to set as default keyboard (works basically with AmazMod).
Main features:
Choose languages in launcher
Swipe up - special symbols keyboard
Swipe down - hide keyboard silently(without Enter signal)
Swipe right - move cursor or space
Swipe left - move cursor
Tap text preview with green region to close keyboard with enter signal (for example, search something in xbrowser)
Tap red region to close keyboard without enter signal
Press and hold green or red region to hide keyboard silently
Press and hold text while keyboard is closed to move cursor
Tap shift/globe button - caps lock
Press and hold shift/globe button - change language
Touch "0" one time for "space" or use special symbols menu with separate holdable space button
Press and hold button with number to quickly type it
Source code
*reserved*
Nice job. Will it be for Pace?

Hey, thanks for the kind words, I'll look into it tomorrow, but can you provide t9 example for your language in order to it be usable?

Thanks for the reply!
I have been using this app the whole day and must say this app should be one of the must-have APKs to our watch, alongside with Amazmod and Greatfit.
Nice job!
As an improvement, It is possible to make the first letter in the sentence an auto caps? Also, the same applies to the first letter after a dot (.).
Unfortunate, I searched around and could not find a image of T9 Portuguese keyboard to show you ):
But I will try to explain the differences the best way I can with my limited english. Please let me know if I could not express myself clear enough. I will try best next time.
Here it goes:
The Brazilian Portuguese Keyboard uses almost the exactly same letters and symbols than in english keyboard. And in the same position too.
In addition, we have the following letters: Á, Ã, É, Ê, Í, Ó, Õ Ú, Ç
The biggest difference, as you can see, is that we use accents in the vowels in certain words. And we have the addition of Ç
For that fact, some T9 keyboard make the the "number 2" button as follows: "ABC", and when you long press the button, it show the alternate letter: Á, Ã, Ç.
The same goes for the button 3 (DEF), when you long press it, it show the alternate letter: É, Ê
When you long press Button 4 (GHI), it shows Í
When you long press Button 6 (MNO) it shows Ó Õ
When you long press Button 8 (TUV), it show Ú
That's abou it.
And, finally, some T9 Keyboards put all those alternate letter in the symbol category. In that case, they could be accessibly by swapping UP, just like you did with the symbol options.
So both option explained above would work great for our language.
Please let me know if I can help with more information.
Obrigado.
