is there a way for me to turn off the predictive text off when i am typing because it is really annoying
any advice or help will be great
If you go to "Settings" from the menu of the main screen of your phone, then select "Keyboard," and "Android Keyboard" within, it will allow you to toggle this.
well i cant find keyboard options under settings menu
Never Mind i was able to find the settings and thank for help

Morning All,
I've searched for this - but can't find anything.
I do quite alot of texting, and find the phone pad input with t9 predictive text best most of the time. But that awful tone it outputs on every button press is driving me mad! Does anyone know how to turn it off?
I'm guessing it must be a registry setting somewhere?
Or even better still. Anyone know of any third party phone style keyboard inputs which support predictive text, but with bigger buttons (which you can turn off tones!) which I could use instead.
I really miss being able to do easy one handed texting, and would love an easier input method....
Thanks,
Paul
On any form of input, click on the little 'up arrow' (e.g. the one which lets you choose the input methods that you wanted to use). Among the list, like "Keyboard", "Block Recognizer", there is an "Options..." at the top. Choose it.
Then, choose the keypad input method at "Input method:" and click on the "Options..." just at the bottom. Uncheck the "Turn on screen tap sound".
Actually I find that useful. Difficult to know if you have pressed the right button on a flat screen without tapping sounds.
Fantastic!
So obvious - now I feel silly for not noticing the options option
Here you go
Setting -> Menu -> All Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Keypad: Off.
Have fun
Settings > System > Sounds - Turn key clicks off.
I installed a a few input, but apart from the original input I can not use any of them when typing. I press an hold input setting, no selection of those inputs.
I did tick the box of them inputs at Setting.
something wrong here?
Which keyboard did you install?
The same to me trying to use Better Keyboard. I gave up.
Did you try selecting Better Keyboard from the 'All programs' list and selecting 'Enable Better Keyboard First'?
It won't work unless you enable it first of all. Works perfectly on my Hero.

Yep, this is the procedure I've tried to follow many times. But when I go to the input method selection dialog (the gear button left to the space in the regular keyboard), Better Keyboard isn't there.
I know I'm wrong in some way, but I don't figure out where's the catch.
The way I activate it is to open a new text message or email and in a text input field, press and hold for a few seconds. You should then get an option called 'Select Input Method'. Select it and choose Better Keyboard from the returned list.

OK, you're the man. I don't know what was the differences between what you wrote and what I readed until this evening, but I understood you and now I have Better Keyboard up and running. haha
Thanks!
Just wondering if there is a quick way to disable the swyping on the swype keyboard.
Love Swype but sometimes a std keyboard would be easier and I find I am changing back to the HTC keyboard for the odd message and then back again.
What swype needs is a quick way to turnoff the swype funtion and go Dumb mode.
Problem is if I type to quickly it starts picking it up as swypes
Thanks
Check settings, menu, all settings, personal, input.
Tought you could change it over there.
Thanks for the response however not really worried about switching between swype and another keyboard. More hoping there is a quick way to keep swype but make it faster as a normal keypad.
Some of my messages (Txt or Email) Swype is a bit of a hinderance. Trying to touch (tap tap) is painfully slow and so is switching between keyboards. (Bottom center. Tap slightly to the right will prompt for type of keyboard).
Eg entering in information and funny names I would like to tap one of the sype buttons and swype function is temporaily disabled. I then type what I need to (tap tap tap) then tap the key again and the swype function is reenbled and I carry on (swype swiggle swishe)
I feel your pain. Unfortunately, there isn't an option in Swype to turn of the "swyping" as you eloquently put it.
Hope they come out with a newer build that could do that and one where you can access the EDITING options with just one button press.
i simply press the small arrow next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of screen , and toggle to the normal, htc regular keyboard
edit: sorry, overlooked the op's main concern, please ignore

Hey, quick tip
you can quickly access the Editing options by swyping from the 'swype key' to the 'SYM key'
OK i HATE that this thing has no way to manually trigger the keyboard. Inevitably I find text entry forms everywhere that will not trigger it, OR WORSE..
IE the search function for this site, click it, the keyboard pops up, and the search options poof! On my DX i can manually bring up the KB, then click search, and it STAYS UP!!!
So anyhow, is there anyway conceivable to add a manual keyboard softkey, or notification button to this thing?

there is a way to have the keyboard button on your notifications:
Settings > Language & input > Keyboard Settings > Input Method Selector > Always Show
not sure why you are having the exact problem you are though, i haven't experienced it and ive been using the browser very heavily.
if you open the Xoom Android Development Forum,
then just above the right side you click the search button,
It does not open the search popup only to vanish when your keyboard appears?
This happens to me on multiple devices!!!
and that setting does not actually work
I have this issue on few sites as well, android seems to simply not recognize some text input boxes...even though I can place a cursor, there's non way to force-launch the keyboard, like long-pressing the menu button does on a lot of phones...

Thos seems to do nothing for me
That setting will make the keyboard icon show up when the keyboard is triggered. It let's you switch between multiple keyboards on the fly (or voice input).
so any ideas for how to manualy use the keyboard ?
Hi,
i got a little Problem and someone probably help me with a few words:
Sometimes, i get in kind of a "hotkey mode" with the keyboard. Wenn i press "e", he opens emails, when i press "b", he opens the browser. Its impossible to type and the only thing ive found was to reboot my phone.
Can i somehow leave this mode? How do u get in there?
Many Thanks!

Sounds like your search key may be stuck down. Try pressing the keyboard search key and see if it is stuck down.
Sent from a touch tone tele-phone.
Press the search key again (on the hardware keyboard) and you should get out of this mode. I had this same problem running CM7, and you can go into the CM settings and disable all those shortcuts so that it can't happen again.
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
You can disable all the shortcuts from Settings - > Keyboard and language.
I disabled them because I find them pretty useless. The homescreen is a tap away
