So after rooting I got the HTC mod keyboard.
Now the problem is that I really like the android keyboard.
The only features that I miss on it are the suggestion of words that I have typed such as email addresses, ethnic names, etc. from the default keyboard. Also the HTC mod keyboard has a voice type button that I love very much.
Is there another keyboard that I can install that will do these 2 things and still look like the android keyboard?
I will happily use the HTC mod keyboard if it could suggest to me the emails and words that I have typed but I can't seem to find the option to enable it.
Help. Thank you.
In the Locale & Text section of Setttings, you can select the HTC_MOD IME section there. In here, you can find some different keyboard settings like Prediction, including email addresses and urls ( for some reason these aren't automatically enabled ).

I have that turned on but it only works for url bars. I wanted it so that I could enter my email address in the different log in screens for websites using one tap. So fat I have succeeded in getting the first half and the second half of the email saved as 2 separate words and i just join them by putting @ in between.
Edit: It also does not save words like "mackdaddy187" in the dictionary since it is not all letters. I use this name for all websites and it is hard trying to enter i one by one in each website.
Why don't you use Skyfire browser? It has the ability to remembe form information like usernames and passwords.

Hi
Does anyone know how I can stop my streak from displaying mobile versions of sites I view?
Thanks

Its done siteside. There should be an option on the page you're viewing to view full site. Or have a look at the URL and usually it'll have m.URL.com or /mobile/ in it which you can change.
You'll need to run a browser that doesn't identify itself as a mobile version. Some browsers have an option in settings.

Type about:debug in the URL bar and press Go.
It doesn't seem like anything happens, but it does........press menu - Settings - now there's a "debuger" section, go to UAString and tap.........choose desktop.....now websites see it as a desktop........

Anyone know how to make this stick permanently? A lot of sites seem to ignore the user-agent string whenever I try it, or at least when I type "about:debug" and then go to the relevant settings section it's always set to "Desktop" yet sites ignore it and keep going to mobile versions! The root of the SD card seems to also get filled up with .trace files for each site visited while in the debug mode...
The lack of a permanent UA String change is extremely annoying for certain sites such as www.nationalrail.co.uk where there isn't a "full site" link anywhere and the mobile version is rubbish. The service specific app in Market for this website is £3+ as well!
Facebook is another website that completely ignores the user agent string and will go to mobile (or "Touch") sites regardless.
I know there's a free Android Facebook app, but I don't WANT to have to use an app, I completely agree with the RIM guy saying "there's a website for that"
Sometimes the website will behave when you do the about:debug cycle, but it's hit and miss whether it will still behave when you click any link! Full Facebook, for example, reverts to the "Touch" version when you click "home" at the top...
Please anyone, if you know how, please let me know how I can PERMANENTLY disable ALL mobile optimised sites? I don't want to EVER see another "m.website.com/wap" ever again!
I suggest you try using Dolphin HD Browser.
After I used it a few times, I've set it to my default browser and it works for every website I've tried so far.
It's from the market and free! In addition, there are no ads except if you use add-ons, and only show up when you run the add-ons. Alternatively, you can always buy a license.
The only add-on it comes with is bookmarks at the beginning, and I personally use a different color theme add-on. As long as you don't run either, you will not get any ads! The user-agent switcher is a built in functionality and not an add-on (in addition to a plethora of other options).

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a go and see how I get on with it. Already tried Fennec and Opera and neither felt as good or fast as the stock Froyo browser...

Instal Dolphin HD then an add-on called 'desktop toggles', you can then switch between mobile and web view at will

Hi everyone,
I recently got a GT but I've been having some problems using the "search" functions on websites.
For instance, here on XDA, whenever I try to use the "search this thread" the following happens:
1) the input box for entering text appears then,
2) the keyboard pops up for a second then,
3) the input box disappears, so I can't enter anything. [frustrating!]
I have tried this on multiple browsers (Stock, xScope and Dolphin HD) and on different sites and the same problem regardless of if I use the Samsung or Swype keyboards.
I have no similar issues using these browsers on my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G) or Nexus One.
One thing I notice, is that whenever the keyboard pops up, there are "Prev." and "Next" tabs right above the keyboard. I am not sure if those "extra" tabs are accidentally causing the browsers to resize the pages thereby shutting down the input text box.
Any ideas?
Also, why does XDA always show up jumbled in portrait view?
Thanks!~
:nudge:

The Tab can't handle these types of windows where they are a window within a window.
However, there is an easy solution.....
What you must do is when you click on the 'Search this Forum' or 'Search this Thread' boxes you must then click on where it says 'Advanced'.
This will then open up a new window where you can then type in your search request.
Regarding Portrait not showing correctly ~ I have no issues with the xda-devs web site in Portait mode. It must be a setting you have.
Thanks. Maybe it is a setting I have in my user cp since that's all I can thunk it might be. I will try your.suggestion.

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S, especially with 'xda 2010' theme and the drop down search boxes, i have tried a few different keyboards (Samsung, Gingerbread, Smart keyboard pro, HTC IME mod) the only one that works with the drop down boxes is HTC IME mod, you might want to give that a try. I have just done a quick search and i am not sure if it has been modded for the Tab?

If it works could you please leave me a vote of thanks..... but I stress, only if you feel it deserves it. The Thanks votes must only be used if someone has assisted or helped an individual in some form or another.
For each vote of thanks I receive my nurses are authorized to remove £10 from my wallet to go to charity.
What version of HTC ime mod are you using. I tried v.27 hi and keep getting fc. Do you have a link to the apk?
Thanks.

I use Firefox for Android and seems to work far better on sites that all the other mentioned browsers have problems with. Including this site. Firefox is still a beta but it works well enough for me on my Tab.
If this has been posted before please delete, but I believe I have solved my issue with the physical keyboard missing keys. I turned off all the software keyboards and swype it seems to have done the trick.
Problem is I have to change it everytime I switch batteries. Is there a way to do thi?

Yes, I've read that swype (enabled) is most likely the culprit.

Bingo, it can be annoying at times. When typing long emails and texts, be sure to go back and proofread what you just typed (good practice anyway). Turning off swype did seem to help a bit.

would make it a software issue then..not hardware =D good to know
I was able to type several paragraphs with all the soft keyboards except for Swype disabled, and I don't have the missing key issue anymore. I simply disabled the Samsung and Android keyboards. I use Swype way too much to disable it.

I use keyboard manager to help with this...
Install keyboard manager along with touchpal from market free (completely).
I have Swype enable and have it set as my portrait keyboard
Then when I switch to landscape keyboard manager services changes my kb to touchpal in a fraction of a second without any interaction.
What awesome about touch pal is that it offers some of the best spelling correction word prediction with our hardware keyboards. Takes a while to get used to but by far is the best solution for me as not only does it fix the random keydrops but it also spell checks and suggests words on the fly.
I was using the Windows Mobile Version for a long time before changing to android, but absolutely love Swype for portrait one handed.
In a previous post I made I pointed out that the lag I found to be software and not hardware... if you long press on many letters you will get a popup instead of repeat keys these seem to be the cause of the drops, after using touchpal, if you long press a letter it quickly repeats.

Cool tip! Definitely want to try this... but searching in the Market, I couldn't find Keyboard Manager .. and not sure the Touchpal that comes up is what you're referring to. Is it still available?

Wow.
I unchecked the samsung and android keypad and tested it out. Updated twitter and FB without a hitch, no dropped characters! Very cool, and thanks for the tip. That's been driving me (and my wife) crazy!

I believe they need to be removed using sdx stock app removal.
Touchpal (chinese origin) privileges:
-full internet access

Umm. I think I'll pass. I don't need the chinese keyboard reading my contacts, record audio, and send it back to the chinese developers...

Internet access to check for updates, record audio is for voice to text and contacts im not sure about but i think its for autocomplete to add to the dictionary. Check out Swype permissions same read contact data is there...
Trust me I have been using CooTek products for years they are a reputable company... Chinese or not.
PS you could try with another keyboard but I think the key is touchpal, all i can say is if the keyboard your using gets rid of the OS default popup that happens when you long press on a key it should work. I wish there was a dev that could just figure out how to disable this all together as it happens when there are no soft keyboards active,,, I am sure this is the cause to our missed keys try ee or oo in words 7/10 times it will miss if you are fast this is because its trying to determine the length of time the key was pressed to display the box of options.
I can't get keyboard manager to recognize touchpal as an option...any ideas?
NM, have to play with the actual system settings first
Hello
When I use the phone pad and start typing a contact name instead of number, the phone finds the contacts that their firs name match the typed values. In my HTC HD it does the same but also on the Last Name and even on the email address if present in the contact.
Is this a setting issue in the Galaxy S / Android or a limitation of the implementation?
Thanks
Ophir
Please anyone?
Good question. I think it's just the way Samsung made the dialer app.
Try to change the sort order in contacts/settings/display**.

You can use another dialer, for instance "Dialer One" is capable of that (although it is not as good looking as the stock dialer to me)
