How To Get Rid of The Black Autocomplete Box When Using Hardware Keyboard
To Hide the Autocomplete Box:
1. Type as Normal Until Words Start Appearing
2. Press Menu Button Twice
3. Autocomplete should hide itself
To Bring the Autcomplete Box Back:
1. Press the text field once
2. Should Pop Back up once you start typing
Super thanks to the1wingedangel for figuring it out!
Original Post:
But does anyone know how to get rid of the black word suggestions that pop up underneath the text entry box when your using the full keyboard on the G1? I for the life of my can not figure out what auto correct option to uncheck. The worst part is that its really unpredictable and might show up 1 out of 10 times i start typing with the keyboard.
Thanks guys : )
EDIT: ooops sorry. Over looked the word 'full'
Good question...that started showing up randomly for me a couple of days ago.
Double tapping the text box while your keyboard is open should get rid of it from showing up again.
Hmm good idea uber, will give it a shot next time the thing pops up and let you know how it works out.
That annoyed the hell out of me so much i switched roms. It would auto-replace words that I didn't want replaced.
Alright so I tried the double tap thing and no luck on that front. Didn't work out for me. Anyone else try that fix out?
And I know what you mean CBowley. It might just take a .lib deletion or something to fix tho. Heres to hoping that something comes up : )

Make sure you're doing it before you type anything in the box or it's locked to the ON position. I've done it a few times on my phone right here and it's working like clockwork. :-/
Ah I see so are you saying to double tap before I enter anything in the textbox ever? The problem is that it will show up completely random times like 1 in 10 or something. But I'll try double tapping before entering anything in the field and see if that keeps it at bay.
To turn off auto complete and auto correct:
Menu->settiings->Locale & Text->Touch Input (or whatever KB u r using)->Text Input
From here you can turn on/off all KB/typing features.

Thanks maubig, but those settings don't help change the autocompletion for the full keyboard. VK isn't giving me the problem.
Ok, I seem to have figured out how to kill that annoying text suggestion pop up when using the hardware keyboard. When it pops up, double click menu button. To re-activate it, touch the text box once, then start typing. Seems to work.

Excellent Angel! That worked perfect for me. Did the trick exactly like you said it would. Lets see if it works for other people too. Time to change thread title. Thanks : )
Thanks for this... I despised that stupid black suggestion box.
Hi there just wondering if anyone had/has this problem and knows how to fix it. Basically when i go to reply to a text message by clicking on it (from inside TouchFlo) the keyboard appears, then dissapears. When i click on the box to type, the keyboard comes up, then jumps back down. I have to press the 'Keyboard' button when the keyboard is down (to bring it up) then type somthing (which doesn't appear) and then press space...to even start typing anything. It's really odd, i've tried re-flashing both stock and a few other ROM's...same wierd problem...anyone?
THANKS!
I also have the same problem. If i double tap a message from within touchflo there is no problem but if i tap it once i have the keyboard problem. It has been bugging me for a while as well! Although it's not major, if anyone has a fix it would be much appreciated.
haha it's really annoying the double clicking things doesnt work for me...anyone got a fix? also what rom are you running? thanks
Deleted....
talking to some of my friends, i've realised that this happens on general windows mobile, not just this phone, therefore i will re-post in order to gain more publicity. Thanks
Fortunately for me, everything is working fine, as in the manuals, even after using this set for over a year now. When I click "reply" from within TF, it automatically gives a text/message typing area and a keyboard area at the bottom half which stays there. I can drop the keyboard down (and up) by tapping (once) the keyboard icon at the bottom centre. no problem.
ha! it's lucky for some! What ROM are you using? Thanks

hey
i installed finger keyboard
and it really is very nice
but sometimes i have a problem with
sometimes when i want to write a message or bring up the keyboard to scroll with the direction it doesn't appear and seems to be stuck
and then i have to rebbot the phone for it to work
any thoughts , solutions ?
Hello,
If you are having this problem in particular when you are writing SMS then it might well be linked to the SMS problem already talked about exhaustively on here. There is a partial solution for this in the Hints & Tips thread.
If it's not that then it might just be worth your while reinstalling finger keyboard and see if that helps. Another alternative might be to install the Swype keyboard (works well on my device) and see if that solves the problem.
Work through this step by step and see if any of the suggestions help.
Cheers
WB
well it's not just in the SMS
it also happened in the file browser when i wanted to scroll down with keyboard keys
i did reinstall it , so it seems it didn't help
as for the swipe keyboard
that's a problem since i need hebrew in my keyboard
btw an unrelated question
i saw in the tips thread that many times you need to change the registry keys
how do i do that in this device ?
thanks
I had problems typing the good letters on the keyboard. Always a bit out of line it seemd. Then i Aligned my screen again, and now its working much better. Maybe give it a try, it improved my typingspeed.

How do you align your screen?
Also, I keep reading threads about different keyboards, is that just down to personal preference or do some really work better than others? I've not had a problem with the one that's already on the HD2 to be honest,
Look here
settingstab, then push menu , extra`s(more), system, screen.
There you can align your screen by pushing 5 positions on your screen

i don't actually have problems with the typing part
i'll try to explain
when you go to the sms section or filer browser you can see the finger keyboard logo in middle-bottom of the screen
and if you want to use it , you press that logo\button and the keyboard comes up
well sometimes no matter how much time you press ( or where )
it doesn't come up
Ok , a different problem.
A litle thing i sometimes try.
Because the screen is capacitive, when i don`t get a knob to work i wet my finger a litle bit. My skin is normaly dry. When it is "wetter" is seems to react better.
There is a thread about the keyboards sensitivity that could solve that issue.
After BSBTweaks 1.6 i don`t have problems.
With sms install the latest htc patch, it speeds up things in sms, where it looks the screen doesnt react but`it was the progres in the background stil runnning...
Just try, doesn`t cos anything

sorry for the late response
right now everything seems to be ok , the keyboard works fine
i did find some other problem in it though
i have 2 languages in it : hebrew and english
now when i press the lng button it does switch between the 2 of them
however it doesnt switch to digits
if i go to the finger settings and switch the lng button from nextlayout/digits to digits/nextlayout then when i press lng button it switches from one of the languages to digits but not to the second language

Not that one.
I've got a different one, that's, when switching to the second language, the vertical space between rows increases, and the half bottom part of the lower character row dissapears. Using Eng and Spa.
It's just me?

Today I was holding my phone when i was at work and i dont know what i preseed and a menu apeared. I couldnt even look at it real good couse my boss was comming towards me. it was like a service menu.
i klicked on accelerometed button (there was more buttons, accelerometer is the 2nd button i think) and then there was choosen 270 degrese option witch means left sided landscape and there was XYZ coordinates wich changed when i was moveing the phone and some other options.
i couldnt looked up the whole menu couse my boss was there and was asking me something just a second afther that. It must be a testing menue or something.
I remember i was pressing the front buttons but cant recall the combination and i think it was the end call and the OK buttons that i was pressing.
But there is a menu and i want to get to it again. does anyone know this combination od buttons. the menue is only in black and white, no icons no colors...
><>><><
I don't know the combinaison but the soft is ServiceMenu, you can found it on the windows directory

This doesn´t work? Where can I type this combination? In dialer??
Is this true???
abouth the ><>><>< ofcorse it isnt true that was the combination on the t610 and k 700 k750 phones. on the windows mobiole this isnt the combination.
abouth the service menue yes it is true i just need to figure out the combination.
maybe its supposed to be hidden and with help from some bug it popped up I dont know. But it is there.
I saw some forums when i was searcinh the web to fond this menu that some folks have reporting thair phones have secret menues just for fun (scams, hoaxes) but i have seen it. Im so interested in looking on it and go trough the whole menu.
Ill search further.
Sorry abouth bad english.
Hey, guys, has anyone read what wrote toffeur? You don't need the combination, just look into the /Windows directory and find... who would guess that, ServiceMenu.exe.

Nice, it works. And you can disable accelerometer, which I find is useless and drains battery thanks heaaps =)
UPDATE: Can also edit ILLUMINATION Settings!
UPDATE 2: NVM, it doesnt save the settings.. =(
yes, the combination works, right is end key, left is call key
Works haha!
It does work! who could figure out that start call and end call buttons to be left and right. Nice work it only took us 2 days to figure out what I pressed. Ty. Could anyone with X1 try if this works on his phone to?

This is handy to check if your screen is actually calibrated properly.
Doesnt work on my X1 either.

Does anyone know how to move the cursor when using the keyboard, needing to add/delete a characters in the middle of a msg or text and repeated stabbing on my screen to get it in the right place is extremely frustrating anyone know a better way
I'm glad it's not just me, it must be hell on one of the lower end small screen devices. I have enough trouble on the X5!
btw langers, a little off topic but... have u tried 2degrees free facebook "zero" service??? when i try i get an error saying its not available from my carrier?? Just wondering whether its cos i'm not using my original stock rom
Facebook 0 works for me so you could be right
k thanks for that
Hey guys,
The reason you cant get onto FB 0 service is because you are using the APN internet.
This does not require a proxy and therefore o.facebook cant parse your mobile number to confirm you are indeed with 2degrees.
Try editing you APN and throwing 118.148.001.118 in the proxy and 8080 in the port.
If that doesn't work activate your WAP profile (it'll be called '2degrees') and see if that works.
If youre still having trouble give 2deg a call on 0800 022 022 and they'll sort you.
hope this helps
I'm using internet API and it works fine with no intervention/editing from me
YES!!!
cheers for that, worked a treat, didnt even realise those settings were even there, lol fairly new to the smartphone thing!!
i was using the internet apn as you said and once i switched it to 2deg all was good
Aren't we talking keyboard cursor?
I have been seeking for an app to have the little arrow text selector in our vanilla froyo, I mean that selector in gingerbread and HTC and Samsung machines.
Anyone know if there's such an app?

No it's not a complaint
Just too eager for a solution of the keyboard cursor mover
Well the good news is, after hours of searching finally found a solution of sorts...the bad news is, it ain't free $3.75. BUT there is a free trial version, with nag screen. I'm using it now and have only been nagged once.
The cursor can be moved via arrow keys which are enabled thru the extensive settings menu.
The arrow keys up, down, left, right sit at the bottom of the keyboard and make editing easy peasy. As u can imagine it does take up a fair bit of yr screen and the keys are slightly smaller but I think there is a calibration setting 4 that.
What I do like is upper case numbers and symbols, so no need to change screens.
Prediction works really, really well 2.
A heap of languages are also supported.
All in all not a bad little k/b, so head 2 the market an check it out. Smart Keyboard Trial.
Oh, btw swype also has arrow keys 4 cursor control if that spins ye wheels!
Sent from my IDEOS X5 using XDA Premium App
Smart Keyboard Pro has arrow keys and it can be configured to use the volume buttons to move the cursor.
e. lol a minute late
No luck for me as I have to stick with Chinese keyboards. I am looking for another app which adds a slider for text selection like how gingerbread implemented.
@pezzku - hehehe yeh, after I submittted the post i checked my email and saw your post and thort why didnt i check earlier!!! never saw the time u posted it tho...great minds...
@simplistian - oh thats a real bummer m8 maybe u could start a new thread and hopefully someone out there may be able to help out?
Test this keyboard https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
It has several seperate language packs and you access the arrows by sliding the space button up.
