Ok Getting tired of this.. I Hate HTC keyboard, but I love Gingerbreads.. However I hate the Fact that when I text someone or type its looks like this :
hello.this.is.a.test to. see what.happens
The Perioid is in the way or the spacebar needs to be bigger I cant decide? Anyone else have this issue?
I Tried using swype but I dont have the Patients for it. Its a great concept just not for me? Any Solutions out there?
Is there anyway to get the OG Droids soft keyboard layout on the Tbolt?
I don't know what's wrong with your keyboard but I'm typing this on gingerbread keyboard and its working fine. I don't have any issues with it. I have also used Swype but for some reason, lately it doesn't seem to figure out what I'm trying to swype so I switched to this keyboard and have been quite happy.

Download the gingerbread keyboard from the market. That's what I finally had to do. I had the same issues. Just the way I use the keyboard i guess.

I'm the same way. The only respite I've found is from using other keyboards from the market. Just look around and try some different ones, and find out which works best for you.
I found that if I make the settings key always hide and move the mic key to the symbols page it makes the spacebar a bit longer and easier to hit w/o touching the period. might be worth a shot for you guys.

Care to share? I'm not seeing it.
Settings > language & keyboard > gb keyboard > voice input
You also might want to try out swiftkey, as I haven't had any issues with it. It is leaps and bounds better than the stock keyboard.
is there a way to change the "done" button to "send" like in the regular froyo keyboard? annoying to have to press the "done" button and select "send" in the next screen.
UPDATE: Noticed this only happens in landscape mode. Regular view shows "send" key and "attachment key". what gives? is this a flaw in the app?

Nothing beats Swiftkey. Most ingenious keyboard around and works as well as advertised. I just don't like that sometimes it lags as it pulls predictions from my history. Maybe because I have so many SMS?
The trick with the mic and settings key (set to always hide) worked! Thanks. I like the GB keyboard for a change of pace.

This. And I hid the voice and settings buttons to make the spacebar bigger. But I am using swiftkey, its better in my opinion. The prediction engine is excellent and saves me from typing at all.
I noticed a couple of days ago that my Swype keyboard is no longer a QWERTY layout. A handful of letters have now moved to different locations and I have no idea why. Anyone else noticed this behavior? I haven't flashed anything and I don't remember seeing any Swype updates over the past week. Strange...

Did you accidentally hit the language button? I had it put me into some weird what I assume was british keyboard with an odd layout. I could be wrong though. I gave up swype in favour of touch pal

So what is the layout? Post a screenshot? <random nasty statements because you seem to live for that>
BTW, I'd like to help, and I will if I can. This is the first post I've seen from you that wasn't scolding someone, although I'm aware you've been posting a LOT more than I have. It just makes me sad that you spend so much time patrolling...

It didn't, it is very easy to accidently hit this button and if the keyboard layout is similar it's easy not to notice until you proof read.

Yeah, but other languages have to be enabled in the settings for that button to work and I had only English enabled to prevent it.

Sorry for reopening this thread, but it was the only thing I've found which is similar to my problem. On my Epic 4G Touch, the Swype layout sometimes changes... the most obvious difference to me is that the spacebar has a no-smoking symbol on it which isn't otherwise there. Very strange! I don't think this is a language issue. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Ask in your phone's section. Also, list what ROM and kernel you're using, any recent changes...etc.

if you are in the browser or some similar app, Swype defaults to no auto space between words. This is what the "no smoking" on spacebar means. Of course you can still rap spacebar to insert a space.

Thanks karth500, this did occur last night when I was in a browser, I hadn't figured out when it was happening. There is also a line through the microphone key and you can't use speech input, I guess this is normal for this mode?
The damn word suggestion bar. I love that it's there. I hate that it appears and disappears. I type the last word of my text, then after a second or less, the auto suggestion box disappears. So? So every damn time I go to hit send, it moves as I'm about to do so and I end up hitting add attachment instead.
I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. Is there a setting I'm missing or some way I can fix this?
I have the same problem, hit attach all the time. I turned off auto-insert-auto-suggest (not sure what they really call it) long ago, I'm considering turning off auto-suggest entirely which should make that bar go away. The downside of course is it often has the correct word I need when I realize I've made a mistake. Lately I've just been forcing myself to wait a second before trying to hit send.
What really sucks is the fact that Swype is actually completely broken on the Note. You can't Swype fast at all on it.

Definitely DO NOT have this problem. lol Maybe broke on your note?
Same problem here.
I would also like to find a way to remove some of the buttons in the bottom row and make the space bar larger.
I am always inserting periods instead of spaces. My.sentences.look.like.this.
The EN (english) and comma buttons are unneeded on the main screen. Swype button and voice can be combined.
Alot of people on here use thumb keyboard. I tried it and it's pretty good. I prefer the swiftkey x tablet but just cuz that's my preference. Check them out if you are not liking swype.

Pretty sure it's broke for every Note. Just Swype back and forth super fast and see if you get a bunch of random little words. Was confirmed by the devs and they said it's not a priority right now to fix.
My Note is fine.
after installing the apk from the international note section, swype is properly sized and does not have any strange issues. I still dislike the layout however.
I tried to register for Swype forums but was not able to log in.
Im always hitting the insert button.
Can you share the spook from the Swype that you are talking about

Just got my Galaxy S3 today and the first thing that is driving me nuts is the predictive text and word suggestions.
When I am typing I would like suggestions to appear in the bar but I don't want the phone to automatically change the words I am typing without my clicking on the word in the bar. I had this working on my Gingerbread ROM on my HD2 but I can't seem to get it to do this on the Galaxy S3. What setting am I missing here??

That's not what I am after. Doing that completely disables the suggested words bar. I want the suggested words bar but I don't want it to auto-complete or auto-correct my words as I type as it always gets things wrong. What I want is to suggest words in the bar as I am typing and if I see a word in the bar I want I will tap it. This is how it was on my Gingerbread ROM.

That's a completely idiotic comment. If you don't know then just say so.
This was functionality that existed on Gingerbread ROM default keyboard I had so its not hard to understand that it could well be there on the ICS GS3 ROM also.
Hi
I found the swift key 3 keyboard very good.
Swift key is nice keyboard app.

Same problem here. If it suggests a word and you hit SPACEBAR, it will append that word. Horrible design.
I switched to Go keyboard for this reason alone.
Thanks guys. I'll give Swift Key 3 a try if its not possible to change the behaviour on the default Samsung one.

If you leave Predictive Text On, but instead go into Predictive Text settings and turn off everything in there, it will show suggestions at the top of the keyboard and not change what your typing

That sort of comment is what makes people not even deserve to have a computer, let alone a phone.
As title suggests, I updated my phone yesterday. Now, when typing, if I spell something wrong, instead of changing automatically when I press space, it doesnt change the word, even though its highlighted blue. Is this a bug or feature and its very annoying ane may force me to flash back to older version. I cant see any options in the settings menu like before, just new options to sync spelling with facebook and Twitter etc... thanks for help.
Works fine for me
There are no more options anymore in settings for predictive text. You use to be able to edit your own words and specific predictive text data but your cant edit anything now so unsure what to do. Im sure I have read else where others having the same problems?
mine is also doin the same thing. Also noticed it no longer gives you the option to change the full stop to something else without holding
gotta be a bug. why highlight in blue if it no longer has a function anything? This is going to be very annoying.
It's what made me stop using the Samsung keyboard, prediction only seems to work when you use continuous input (swype) but even with that enabled, if you tap out each letter it will not work.
Glad its not just me anyway!
Meh, Android 4.2 keyboard rocks
I like the the way the keyboard behaves now. I can type my words without the auto correcting putting in the wrong words for me inadvertently and not having problems putting in words the the prediction doesn't know about.
I will also confirm that after updating to 4.1.2 stock - the auto-correct/predictive text system in the stock samsung keyboard seems to be no longer functioning correctly.
When typing the words are highlighted in blue however upon hitting space the word isn't corrected

+1. That's the main reason I now use Samsung keyboard. If I want it to auto correct I just select on the word.

never bothered with stock Android keyboards or Samsung's effort at "continuous text input" (well I gave it 5 minutes and kicked it into touch).
There is only one keyboard for continuous text input, and why would you want to tap letters individually any way? - its called Swype...its an absolute MUST.
google it, go to website and download swype beta installer
You guys are right, auto correct has been disabled in 4.1.2. I'm really hoping it's re enabled for the next release because I've never been a fan of aftermarket keyboards. I prefer the stock one. I would downgrade to 4.1.1 but I was getting some bugs on that which have been fixed on 4.1.2. Let's all hope it's re enabled for us!
Same problem here and I hate it. I've now switched to SwiftKey because of it.

Same here. VERY ANNOYING! Why change something fundamental on the keyboard in this way? It's awful.
Regardless of what your keyboard preference is, you become accustomed to using it and it's ways until you can almost type blindfolded. Making changes like this just bugs the hell out of me!
