I'm so confused... i was using swype.. it just popped out of nowhere
asked me if i wanted to use it, so i said yes because i really do want swype.. i restarted my phone later that day and now it's gone and i have no idea how to get it back??
If someone could help me out i'd be very happy
It should still be an option in your menu. Open any program that uses the keyboard, then press just to the right of the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen. The menu will open, and you can select Swype from there.

There's also programs out there to ensure swype remains the default keyboard after a soft reset. Can't remember which one i used but this seems to do the trick:

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

hi just wondering if anyone has managed to fix this, it is getting REALLY annoying now ahha thanks
I just downloaded diniks taskbar and it really messed up my phone, first there's no icons at the top just the time and start. But when I press start nothing happens my phone is freezing bad I can't even go to the file explorer, I removed the taskbar through pc. Please help me my phone isn't working right at all.
Ok my phone isn't freezing up anymore and I have removed the program through my pc, finally went to file explorer and it's not showing up on there so what I want to know is why don't I have my icons back at the top, why can't I have my phone back like it was before I installed the taskbar 1.5. I still can't go to the start screen when I press it and when I get a call or text the icons show, the icons that show are the ones that I wanted in the begining(dinik anastasia taskbar) why are they showing if I removed it?
I encountered this before and I tried real hard trying to find out what caused it. After you installed the application, did you reboot your phone? It could be other programs having compatibility issues with it. I just ended up hard resetting my phone. The lesson I learned is to make notes after each installation and do a tideous test if I can of the functionality of the phone just to make sure everything is working properly before I install another app again.
Hopefully someone else has a better solution.
I just got it fixed someone from another site helped me out, I had to install one more thing to make it work right. I feel better now lol...

What exactly did it take? It would help others dealing with it if you posted what you found.
I know what you did
You forgot to insall he skcert.cam. I know this because I just did this last night. I figured out that my bottom home menue still worked though. I scrolled all the way to settings and removed the task bar.
I thought that once you installed it once you wouldnt have to install it again when you wanted to change your task bar. I was wrong. Each time you uninstall a task bar and want to install another one you must run the cert file.

That's what I forgot to do install skcert.cam, but what was freaking me out is why my phone was freezing up really bad.

I too had to learn this the hard way. I did not need a hard reset just moved the slider to remove programs and restarted and it was fine. I had to use the updated skcert cab though the first one did not work at all. But now I am styling with the dinink taskbar

I don't mind learning lessons the hard way. As long as they don't brick my phone. LOL. That is what is stopping me from flashing a rom. I am scared of messing it up. one little mistake and its back to my old beat up blackberry LOL>
I left my phone unlocked and it set the keyboard to korean while inside my pocket. I can't switch to any other keyboard: swype, android, standard, etc. Holding the gear icon on the lower left just displays the korean keyboard settings but shows no place to change the keyboard.
Try starting phone in safe mode and uninstall it ...or uninstall whichever keyboard you have got it stuck in korean
go into settings, locale and text and select a keyboard from there....

going into locale & text just takes you into the settings for each keyboard, or enable/disable keyboards from being selected. the keyboard selection should be when you hold the option button on the keyboard. when you do this while the korean keyboard is loaded, it takes you to the korean kb settings, instead of a popup that lets you select other keyboards like android, swype, etc.
i appreciate the replies. i've tried everything and it seems that once you switch to the korean keyboard, there's no going back... unless i'm missing something

Just long press in the writing area when you're typing something and then the selection menu pops up!! Then you can switch your keyboard. Hope it helps
Hi there, when I first got my phone during setup and being a total novice with touch screens I managed to set the phone up to an Indian/Asian language. I fiddled around for ages and couldn't do anything.
My solution... take out battery and sim, try another sim so the phone has to register that one and gives you the language in its attempt to set it up. Get the little bugger back to English and stick your other sim back in. It worked for me so I hope maybe it helps for you too.
Edit
If that doesn't work how about find the settings picture (assume they are the same) then Locale and Text is 11th tab down and select locale is the first tab on the next screen. Just had a google translate on English into Korean so you can try and pick up the right language....'yeong-eo' is the translation or '영어'

Yes, but you changed the whole language. He just has to chage the keyboard, his language is correct.
To change keyboards try my solution above. It worked for me when i was getting mad with chinese Keboard to get back to standard.
I thought he had tried changing the input method and keyboard but that hadn't worked. Thought it might need forcing back to English or something. My apologies if I misunderstood.
As another thought how about downloadiing Jonasl's HTC_IME keyboard from this site and seeing if you can get that to force its way into action over the korean one when you run the app from your file manager?
Thanks for the replies. holding on the input area did the trick. I was used to holding the option button on the standard button but this eems to be an alternate method. I'm a total idiot lol. Normally this would've been something i'd figure out on my own. Thanks guys. guess i still need to get used to the OS.

Ever since flashing the rooted 2.2 update, I can't enter an MSL when I use a dialer code like ##DATA#. It recognizes the code and gives me the View / Edit choices, but when I select Edit, the keypad isn't active and I can't type in the MSL.
I know there was a different Froyo issue with non-Sense ROMs not recognizing the code in the first place, but that's not this.
I really need to put my tweaks back in for 4G, but can't. I won't get too worked up about this till I try it with the final build, whenever the rooted version of that hits.
Anybody else seeing this, or is it just me?

I have the unrooted version and have no issues. Did you tap on the input box? Sometimes you have to tap on the box to bring up the keyboard. If that doesn't work, press and hold menu. That's the keyboard shortcut in Android. Other than that, did you uninstall any built in apps? That could possibly cause a problem, depending on what you took off.
Got it!

Ah - got it.
The problem was, it was putting up a "helpful hint" that said something like "tap the Back-Arrow to close the keyboard". That little dialog had input focus, not the keypad. I had to click the X button on that to get focus to the keypad. It wasn't there in 2.1 so I wasn't used to having to dismiss it.
It doesn't show up now - I guess it was a 1-time hint.
