Using the Samsung qwerty keyboard, when you're on top of a letter it pops-up a preview of the letter in a blue box just above... is there a way to disable that pop-up letter? I find it quite distracting. Thanks in advance!
Ok, so is my only option to find a third-party keyboard to use instead?

I am new to the TP2 and TF3d. in Contacts there is no soft keyboard to pop and I want to be able to use this one handed.
I have seen screen shots where there is a soft keyboard but have never found a way to do this.
Anyone know?
Tap the search icon on the top right. A text field should appear. Now you can display the soft keyboard by tapping the icon in the bottom center of your screen.
If you're in the default winmo contact app, it's similar. You have to tap the search bar on top before you can deploy the soft keyboard.
So simple and yet i missed it. WOW - thanks a lot!
I read in the manual that you can change the layout of the keyboard. the only option I see is qwerty....how to do I make it show the cell phone keyboard?
Arrow
When you have the keyboard open, there is an icon underneath it, with an arrow pointing upwards. If you get your stylus out and press the arrow (not the keyboard icon), you will get a few options (Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY and Full QWERTY). I use full QWERTY but I do admit that the Phone Keypad is quite easy to use.
Hope that helps
Im on stock Ec05 and while looking at the keyboard setting i found an (kinda) interesting setting. Go to Setting>Locale and Text. Select the default keyboard to Samsung, then go to Samsung keypad settings, select Portrait keypad types, select Handwriting box 1 or 2. Now instead of having a keyboard to type with, you could just write the word out with your finger and it will recognize it. Thought I'd share.
I think the T9 keyboard app has this feature as well. I tried it, and it works, but it is definitely slower than just tapping on the keys.
I really like the default LG keyboard, but I've found myself gravitating back to my old standard - the Google Keyboard - specifically the latest KitKat version.
So, if I correctly enter an odd word that is not in the dictionary, the keyboard tries to auto-correct it, I press backspace once, and the word goes back to the way I originally spelled it and places the wave red line underneath.
All good. All standard Google keyboard behavior.
But then, if I long press on the word with the wavy red line underneath, I don't necessarily get the standard/expected Google pop-up allowing me to "Add to Dictionary". Instead, I often get the LG horizontal pop-up where "Add to Dictionary" isn't an option. This is the pop-up that's standard with the LG keyboard.
Sometimes though, the standard Google pop-up appears - but it's anyone's guess when it will.
Does anyone have any insight into this behavior?
although the stock keyboard is quite mediocre using the sliding method, i can't leave it because of some of the useful features. like the clip board button, i wish there was a way to trigger it with custom keyboards.
Hi,
since a couple of days, I have this problem with my Yoga book:
- Halo (= hardware) keyboard is active and lit up
- when I enter a text input field in any app (Firefox...), the onscreen keyboard will pop up.
- as soon as I start typing on the Halo keyboard, the onscreen keyboard will disappear
- but the first typed letter will - most of the time - be missing in my text
Expected behaviour: no onscreen keyboard will pop up if I have hw keyboard activated.
How can I fix this?
What are the proper settings in the keyboard settings menu?
Is there any other setting I might have missed?

hey, i'm not familiar with the settings in English...but let's try...
try to uncheck 'show input method' at the bottom of the menu where you can switch between the keybords.
if i have it checked, the onscreen keyboard pops up. if not, nothing comes.
unfortunately, i have the same annoying 'bug' that quite often the first keystroke on the halo keyboard isn't recognized.
This did solve my problem!
