Google.com search field hides characters. - HTC Aria General

I noticed today that when I use google.com the search field is treated like a password field. It only shows the most recent character, previously typed characters are simply dots. This is true using 3 different browsers. Is this a google.com settin? I have noticed that yahoo.com does not do this.

That's strange. I just tried it right now and I'm not getting that. All the words I type are showing fine. So its got to be some privacy setting you may have inadvertently selected.

I have the same problem on Inspire 4g and Froyo. Very annoying.

Update: issue occurs with two different keyboards.

Lol I haven't had any problems at all with my Inspire and hidden text.

It looks like the bug is fixed today. It only lasted a day or so.

After cycling the "instant" option just below the search field, the issue resolved itself.

Need some keyboard info.

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.

Galaxy Tab problems with websites

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.

Swype caps, caps, then lower case?

I had DL09 and had this problem and it bothered me, so I switched down to DJ05 cause it had the same fixes and more compatiable with everything, and now I'm having the same problem. It just started happening like 2 days ago. Is there a fix for this?
Mine does it too. It didn't do it until I installed the original SMS app so the little puzzle piece would work.
I've been noticing the same thing but it only happens in the browser searching.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Mine does it in the messaging, market, and browser app
I have this problem too. I've also had many problems with my dictionary. I'll add words and they will be there for a bit then disappear. The most frustrating thing I deal with is words that I have accidentally typed in, delete, and than they will magically appear again a day or so later. The specific word that bothers me is "ti"
I have deleted the word numerous times, cleared data/cache numerous times and installed clean roms/kernels to no avail. I even tried a totally new keyboard and it seemed like there was a problem with that dictionary too. I'm at a loss and gave up.

Try going to manage Applications and then clearing the data fit Swype.

I have the same problem. The data wipe did not resolve the issue, but clearing the data for gmail seems to have fixed the sync issues that I was having so thanks for the tip. The only fix that I have seen work for the caps issue is to install a different keyboard. I like camalot's as they seem more responsive than stock.
Also, big thanks to all the devs and good people on this forum who have made this phone awesome. This is my first smartphone and I would have been lost without the kind folks here.
I flashed superclean, 1230 nonvoodoo, and put the latest swype beta in...works great!

Same issue: all caps starting a message in aosp messaging app.. It seems like a bug that is being reported in the swype beta forums..
Be nice to have it fixed.. Oh! - yeah.... beta
I have the same problem, on DL09 using Handcent, so it's not app-specific.
yeah I have this issue too and I'm using the latest beta. It is not app specific. Seems to occur randomly.

What Ive noticed is ths happens when the word picker pops up for the first word and I continue to swype without making a choice. Maybe that is the cause? Program would see the new word as the first when started, as the first isn't completely entered yet.

This is exactly the reason, or at least a way to reproduce 100% of the time. OEM DI01 did not have the problem, OEM DL09 does. Dont' know more than that.
I posted a bug on the Swype forum 2 weeks ago.

Jellybean keyboard input issues

Sorry for posting here but it is only place I can as it's my first post.
So I've turned to XDA as I thought I would bring my TF101 into teh world of JellyBean.
Following the excellent guides on here I easily rooted and flashed the thing with Team EOS Jellybean ROM.
Went like a dream and a big thank you to the people who have invested so much time and effort.
I have a strange issue though:
Type in the address bar of the browser or in a Tapatalk post the keyboard pops up
Type one letter and it minimises.
I touch to type again and it appears
I can only type a few letters (sometimes only one) before it minimises again
this continues ..
The keyboard is basically unusable. Anyone had a similar issue?
Sounds like you are using the TeamEOS 4 ROM.
From TimDuru's page is notes:
- Default AOSP Soft keyboard crashing if using auto-suggestion
=> workaround: Go to the keyboard settings and change to Auto-correction off + Show correction suggestions:always hide.
You can also fallback to gapps 20121229 (no swipe feature with that version though)
See here for more issues and workarounds: http://public.timduru.org/Android/tf101/eos4/

I have same kind of problem but with Opera mobile browser. Text input in address bar works fine but input for any other input boxes in websites is pain in the ass. I manage to write one or two letter for example in login screen when keyboard vanished. That is strange since Opera uses its own keyboard layout.

[Q] i9505: bug when writing emails in stock e-mail app

Hi,
yesterday, I've received an update which I've installed now:
AP,CP: I9505XXUAME2
CSC: I9505VFGAMDC
Since then, the stock email app is acting very weird. When writing text, as soon as you use any punctuation, exclamation mark, question mark... , the cursor goes crazy and jumps around, making weird corrections to text that has been previously written. Even just copy/pasting an URL into empty email and trying to enter new line will have weird, unusable result.
This bug is easy to repeat:
- open stock e-mail app (not gmail!)
- start writing a new email
- write a sentence in a language of yours (I've tried English, as well as my native language that's supported on the phone)
- as soon as you enter any of the following: . ! ? and press enter (new line), the just written sentence will get split in two and some random editing will be applied as well
Anyone else experienced such behavior? I'm on stock firmware,not rooted, stock keyboard.
Not keen to factory reset just yet, as it involves a looooot of re-setting everything
Thanks!

Very similar bug appears on mine too.
It renders this phone unusable for business purposed, Exchange client is totally broken.
I'm unable to respond to work emails!
What a disappointment, how could it pass QA????!!!

Installing Swype keyboard from the Google play solved this problem! It's some kind of bug in SwiftKey, stock keyboard is based on SwiftKey. There's incompatibility between stock keyboard and stock email client.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
At first I thought it was swiftkey causing the issues so then went back to stock and it did the same. The explanation above saying that stock is based on swiftkey may explain why.
I've since installed AquaMail as a stopgap....swiftkey and stock keyboard work as intended with this.
And, to be honest, even though aqua mail was going to be a temp solution, I'm quite, no, very much liking it and will probably continue to use it as my main client.

To wrap it up. There are two solutions:
1. change your keyboard to Swype or anything EXCEPT stock keyboard and SwiftKey
2. change your email client without need to change your keyboard (!!!)
It's an obvious bug that should be fixed in future software releases.
There is a third alternative
3. Disable the auto-correction option on the standard keyboard. The suggestion will stay on, so you can touch the corrected (or predicted) word to change what you typed, but it will not be inserted automatically when you touch only the space bar. Which is not too great a penalty
