[Q] Keyboard Auto-Correct not working - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

My keyboard displays correction options, but won't auto correct like my phone will. Am I missing a setting for this in the Input Settings or do others have this issue to?

I am also having this issue so I don't think its just you. I tried looking it up online and there is supposed to be a feature to auto-predict but it's missing from the keyboard settings. I just started using Swiftkey and Swype instead until it's sorted out... Hopefully someone will shed some light on the situation.

On-screen keyboard - numbers only

My on-screen keyboard is only displaying numbers, with no option to switch to qwerty. The only qwerty characters available are "p" and "w", which appear to the top right of the keyboard.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get the normal qwerty keyboard back??

Did you disable eT9 and to get Auto suggest and auto complete back? If so that is probably what did it.
I had the same problem when I hacked my Tilt 2 to get get auto suggest and auto complete back. Apparently when you do this it works fine until the fallowing happens:
A. You get to a field that triggers you keyboard to switch number entry mode (Nummber pad with P and W)
b. You get to a field that trigger the keyboard to internet entry mode (Keyboard with ".com" and "/" but no spacebar).
Once you enter either mode you can't key you regular keyboard back.
If that is what happened to you, your not the only one.

I haven;t found a way to make it work without breaking the keyboard. I had to do a clear storage and learn to use T9. It better than a broken keyboard.
Yes that's what I did. If I have auto-suggest but NOT auto-complete on do you know if this will avoid the problem??

I'm not really sure. I tried several ways and nothing worked, my guess is your are likely to still have an issue. BTW going back an changeing the registry edits back did not fix the issues for me. I had to clear storage and start from scratch each time.
For now I'm learning to live with XT9. I don't like it as much as the original, but it is usable. The alternative is using MS tiny little SW keyboard, and to me, that is even worse.
Now if someone could figure out how to keep the alternate keyboards from popping up, in theory, that should remedy the issue. Unfortunately, I have no such skill.

Try this to fix it: start Opera, tap the url field, which will bring up the "search the web" field. Then tap the "search the web" field. This should fix your keyboard (at least it works for me), at least until the next time something triggers the keyboard problem.

Thanks for the input, good to know.
That may be a work around for the Internet input issue (maybe), but we still have the issue with the numeric input Keyboard. Thus far the best option, at least for me, is to live with XT9 until a terminate fix is found.
On the bright side, over all I love my TP2/Tilt2!

Actually, this works for the numeric input keyboard issue as well - I have experienced this first hand. addmittedly, it is a bit of a pain to switch from whatever you happen to be doing, to opera, just to fix your keyboard.

say "google" doesn't activate voice search?

Hi guys:
I have noticed a weird thing, I know there's a feature that you can say "google" after holding the home button and drag it to the google icon to activate the voice search. It works fine on me for a while, but I realized that after a while it doesn't work. Moreover, after a reboot, it would work again. Regular voice search still works fine by pressing the microphone button. Anyone know what's going on? I am on stock jellybean btw, but only rooted.
So it only works every now and again?
Also dragging any of the soft buttons up opens google now.
I have the same issue. The hotword option just randomly disappears. If you go into Google Now/Settings/Voice, the option to toggle it off and on is even gone. When you reboot it comes back, but then randomly disappears again at some point.
I had the same problem and realized i had the language under Google Now/settings/voice/language set to English (Australian).
After changing it back to Default-English (US), I have been able to consistently see the "say Google" option in the main Google Now page.
I have exactly the same problem, the language is always English (US), it still randomly disappears.

Do you use Light flow? I have noticed toggling "Accessibility" off and on when Light flow glitches out for me, or using Swype seems to kill hotword detection. Rebooting always seems to bring it back though
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I use both, light flow and Swype Beta. Which is killing the hot word detection ? How are they interfering anyway :s
I know from reading the issues log Light flow uses the Accessibility service. When you toggle Accessibility on and off, hotword detection disappears. It will just say "Search" in Google Now instead of Search or say Google. Dont know why but try it and youll see best way to avoid it is to not toggle that or just reboot after it happens
is there a good replacement for light flow ?

I only use lightflow, not swype, so I am sure lightflow will interfere for sure.
the same problem in here
just got an update of lightflow - we'll see how it rolls
anyway google now 'google' saying works only when EN(US) is set as language
what is more - i see that any internal integration (e.g. saying 'set timer for 10 minutes') works as well only when the overall system language is set to EN(US)
I noticed this last week also. When it wouldnt respond to saying "Google" it didnt say "Search, or say Google" in the textbox on the voice Search (Google Now) page.
I uninstalled Lightflow and not had any issues since.
I've noticed that the hot word and hot word option only appears when you have English us set.
Change to English uk and they both don't work, also the other hot word functions, send email etc don't work as well.
Disabling light flow and restarting the phone fixes it.

[Q] Can anyone help me turn OFF swype?

Hi everyone!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III on sprint, its running the stock ROM and needs to stay that way. The problem I am having is that the phone will NOT let me turn off swype. The option to deselect it is greyed out. This is VERY annoying because while typing a text message, I will sometimes role my finger a bit to one side, or i wont pick my finger up all the way. This results in massive typos and makes txting take about twice as long as it took me on my HTC Evo 4G. I have attached a screen shot of the screen showing the greyed out selection. Any help with this huge issue would be amazing!
Also, has anyone noticed an error where when typing a txt, the phone will offer you a word and if you take that suggestion and tap it, sometimes it deletes almost your whole txt message and you have to start over? I have had this happen way too many times for this not to be some strange programming error.
Anyway, thanks!
It looks like you have your default set to the Samsung Keyboard, I think that's about as much as you can do. I don't seem to understand your problem, if you're not using Swype why do you need to disable it entirely?
If you're using the Samsung Keyboard make sure you turn off the "Flow" setting. Tap the little gear at the right of the keyboard name. Or switch to a keyboard that doesn't have a "flow" setting like AI Keyboard or Thumb Keyboard. Whatever you do, don't use Swype if you don't want one finger sliding typing.
Yep!
Yep, you figured it out! Thanks mordbane! That was what fixed it! This is why I like xda and have been a member and coming here for so long, you guys have never failed me. I have attached a image of the setting I had to deselect! It was the T9 trace! No more badly messed up txts and typos! I just tested and now I can txt at a high speed with out any typos at all!
Seriously though, thanks again!

Accessibility messing up LG keyboard

Hi guys,
I just came across a very strange issue.
I downloaded a notifications app yesterday and since such apps need accessibility service turned on, I promptly did that in the accessibility settings.
But after this, I noticed that the LG keyboard suddenly changed from the default path keyboard to a normal AOSP type keyboard with TALKBACK turned on!!!! Which means that each time I typed there was a voice calling out the key I pressed, which was terribly annoying to say the least.
I thot maybe i could change it back to default in language settngs but to my amazement all settings in the LG keyboard had been greyed out, so nothing could be changed.
finally after trying everything possible, I disabled accessibility service for the notifications app, and lo and behold the default keyboard was back!
Queries
1) has anybody experienced this behaviour before ? If not , you can try it, it is reversible, so no harm
2) any solutions?
Cheers

Possible way to disable keyboard toggle when using wireless USB touch pad?

Hello,
I am using a Dell mouse/touch pad. It works awesomely attached to my armrest. The only issue I am have is that I have to toggle off the "enable hardware keyboard" option in order for the keyboard to popup and fully function when I want to enter text. I was wondering if anyone might know a way to have this permanently toggled off using a program or by other possible means? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try downloading a 3rd party keyboard and setting that has the default one, I know some of them have the option to automatically disable the on screen keyboard when a USB one is attached.

Thank you for the advice,
I have tried multiple 3rd party keyboards. Still, every single time the unit boots from a full shut down I have to toggle off "Hardware Physical keyboard". (Picture attached). Just the tip of what looks like predictions shows until I toggle the setting off. I have still been researching and have yet to find a solution.
Oh, I have also tried 2 other touch pads. The issue remains across all ROMs tried.
Ohx2, I have also tried Xposed disable full screen keyboard and have also used app settings to manually set the DPI for the keyboard to no avail.
What about disabling the keyboard app in settings>applications?

I have tried a mix and match of disabling keyboard in settings/titanium backup. If I hold on the notification and view, the app info is part of the Android System. Still can't find a way or an app to change this input/hardware physical keyboard prompt.

Maybe there is an xposed module that will do what you need?
Just following up. I found another post on XDA with another person trying to accomplish the same thing I was. The post doesn't really go into any detail, but I was able to accomplish having the hardware keyboard toggled off on boot. It took the apps Tasker and Secure Settings. Created a task in Tasker, selected the Secure Settings app, selected the hardware keyboard option from one of the selections, set it to turn off in tasker, then created a profile attached to the task to perform it at boot. I hope this helps anyone else wanting to attempt the same thing.
