Yup I'm confused bout this. I've been using hardware keyboard a lot so I'm dealing with it but I do miss this. I guess for now just use back to close the keyboard. I did notice that ultra keyboard works when holding the menu button.

I think its a feature for only touchscreen phones, I haven't ever been able to do it on G1 also, but on mytouch and HD2

It works on my Cliq.
With SwiftKey, you swipe down to hide the keyboard... definitely my favorite keyboard.

Is there a way to turn on auto-complete with the hardware keyboard?
There may not be a way to do it with the stock Android keyboard but I know that both Better Keyboard and SwiftKey have that option. I prefer SwiftKey

It has a limited auto-complete in the sense that it will insert apostrophes and other punctuation as it's appropriate, but I don't recall that it will actually correct spelling or give you auto-complete functionality.

They were asking about the HARDWARE keyboard, not the stock android virtual keyboard.
I wish there was auto complete for the hardware keyboard too, but I haven't seen that option anywhere.

Swiftkey allows for the hardware keyboard to have prediction. Check out its description in the market.

I stand corrected. However, I must admit $4 to add autocorrect is a bit steep IMOH. The was a nice touch.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Yeah $4 is a bit steep I didn't realize it was that much! I got it for 99 cents a while ago. I guess they must have raised it since then.
I was just going to search for this. Looks like the swift KB is the way to go.
Oh well. Can't have it all I guess. Root will solve that problem.

Search for jonas's HTC IME mod on the forums. The high res version works with the G2 and has hardware kb word prediction.

I don't know why you would want the stock one when it doesn't even have multi-touch...
Just install smartkeyboard pro, it looks exactly like the stock keyboard but with multi touch, plus some other goodies.

thats probably why the stock android keyboard doesnt work. it doesnt support multi touch lol i never would have thought that.
s10shane I did that also and it force closed but its not because of the multitouch because the g2 has a multitouch chip and still runs it..

I may be missing something, but I believe my 4g already has the stock keyboard -- you just press and hold in any text input field, choose "Input Method", and select "Touch Input" -- that seems as close to a stock android keyboard as any I've seen.
I just installed it as well. I like the options it gives for customization but the prediction doesn't match htc's. At least not with changing the settings I have found.
I like sense's keyboard and how it shows the suggested words as I am typing. Skpro doesn't seem to have that option.
I'm willing to keep smart keyboard just because it wasn't that expensive but I may need longer to appreciate it.

Does anyone know how to get the physical keyboard typing sound turned on? Is it even possible? Did it come with the option on our model? Need to know how. Had it on my old TP2 and miss it. Thanks.
i would love this as well, but i don't think it can be done. iv'e gone through everything i can think of in the settings and didn't see anything.
I've only found one setting for typing noise and I'm sure it was for the soft-keyboard. I don't think there is an option for the hard-keyboard.
Yes, I found the otion for the onscreen keyboard. So logic would tell me their has be one for the slideout keyboard also. Not sure why they did this?
i would really like haptic feedback on the hard keyboard
Anyone remember the original typing sound for icq back in the days before AOL bought them? Old typewriter sounds. I loved it but it drove my roommates nuts. Lol
Yea, remember that. It's just I want the option to have sound. Sometimes it would be nice, when I'm somewhere loud.

Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Well I look at it this way. If the onscreen keyboard can have sound and haptic feedback. Then there has to be some kind of way to add this to the physical keyboard. Maybe trick the phone into thinking the physical keyboard is the onscreen keyboard? Just don't have the skills to do it myself.

It seems to me the hardware keyboard already has feedback and sound. I feel it when I press the buttons and I hear em too

I know there are many keyboard topics, but I just can't find a one that works well on my Play.
-Smart Keyboard (Trial)
*Best keyboard for my needs, but it seriously slows the phone down after a day or two. As soon as I uninstall, everything starts working perfectly again.
-Stock Xperia Play
*Terrible. Doesn't remember contractions and doesn't have the mic button.
-Keyboard from Android 2.3 (free)
*Okay, but has a stupid emoticons symbol where the 'Enter' button should be during sms composition. I dislike the way it handles punctuation after typing out words.
I'm honestly starting to hate this phone because it's such a pain to enter data, no matter what I try. Never had issues on my old iPhone.
What is everyone using? And no, I don't want to use swype.
Thanks!

I use this one. Never noticed before about the emoticons button instead of enter until you mentioned it.
Doesnt bother me though. I dont see a reason to use enter for sms anyway. If you are going to write a novel, make an email

Did you know that you dont have to swype your finger to type? You can also just type normally without having to change anything. Even normal typing is much better using swype than the stock keyboard. First few days swype pissed me off but now i swear by it

That damn smiley key was driving me insane, so I got the Gingerbread keyboard source from AOSP, got it to compile, and got rid of the smiley face button. Other than that, it's identical to the stock Android gingerbread keyboard, so requires 2.3+. Eventually I may figure out how to make it able to be turned on and off, but that would rather defeat the point. Enjoy!
(Note: you have to enable it in the Keyboard settings before you can use it, just like any other keyboard.)
The Eclipse project (source) is available here.
this sounds like a good thing for me because it also became annoying to me.
quick question though because i cant check out the keyboard mod yet, but does it remove the smiley key completely, or does it replace it with an enter key or something?
soon as i get the chance, ill install and see for myself
Nice. I like that it has been replaced with the enter key instead. I find that to be immensely more useful.
I replaced it with the significantly-more-useful return key.

The smiley key doesn't annoy me per se, but the fact that the Enter key was removed does. So now, it is impossible to have any semblance of formatting in your SMS'es.
Will definitely give this a go as soon as possible. This is definitely a must have as far as I am concerned.
Thanks, but i've a problem with your keyboard.
I turned on the vibrate on keyboard settings, but there is no vibration when I push a key.

It's probably because you've packaged up the WVGA keyboard file, and not the qHD version. The Sensation sports a higher res screen.

That would make sense, but I don't see why the same keyboard wouldn't work on all devices. I mean, looking at the code, I see nothing that would prevent scaling. I was never asked for a target screen size to compile for, nor do I see any way to enter it. If someone could explain a way to fix it, I would gladly rerelease a qHD-compatible version.

You should try and work it out that Long Press of the return key let's you select smileys. It's one of my favorite features of Perfect Keyboard. But non the less, good job.
