[Q] Autocorrect stopped working - Xoom General

I'm running Tiamat 2.0 and it was rebooting randomly so I installed the 2.01 version. Then wifi quit working. Wiped and reinstalled 2.0 and wifi started working but now autocorrect doesn't work! Any suggestions?
I wish this worked as well as my wife's Transformer!

You're kind of thrashing around trying to fix things by reflashing roms, but some of these problems you are having are known issues with simple fixes---if you'd just read the threads for the Roms you are flashing, you'd know that random reboots are mostly caused by setting the WiFi sleep policy to anything other than NEVER in settings. Hammerhead Rom had a fix for that in it but maybe it doesn't work for everyone.
Also the stock browser and stock keyboard can act buggy sometimes-so either download a different browser/keyboard from the market to try out (there some really good ones) and/or re-boot on occasion, just to refresh the system. It seems the keyboard gets laggy without regular reboots and maybe that has also affected the auto correct, although that could be due to something else altogether. I doubt that it's Rom related though.
Good luck solving your problems.

Thanks...haven't had much luck searching these forums. I have downloaded other keyboards but that hasn't solved the problem. It now appears that the dictionary is empty. When I turn on the option to display suggestions as I type, I see only names of people in my contact list. So...now I search for that solution...or I'll just flash another ROM... I just don't have the time to research every problem I have had and in my experience newer ROMs fix most of the issues I've had anyway.

Still a problem!
So nobody else has seen this problem? I can recreate it every time!
I restored my user dictionary from a backup and now I can see the words that should be autocorrected in the preview line above the keyboard. However, when it underlines the correct word and I press the spacebar...where it used to select the underlined word, it now ignores it and does not perform the autocorrect even though it knows what it should do...
This is driving me crazy now! Suggestions?
Thanks.

Evil Eris 2.0.1 Messaging Bugs

Hi, I've been searching high and low for others with this problem but here I am starting a thread...
First let me just thank all the devs who worked on this ROM. Your work is very much appreciated.
Is anyone having issues with SMS after flashing EE 2.0.1? I went straight to 2.0.1 no 2.0 first. Seems to be OK except somewhat buggy. Maybe this is why?
Here's the central issue for me so far:
When typing in an SMS text input box with Handcent, screen would go blank/black and just stay like that with no recovery. Could eventually get back to home but message input would be lost . It got so bad I uninstalled Handcent (crying shame, i loved it) and went back to stock SMS (hate it, booo!). Even with that I still have issues though not as frequent. While typing in text box, text box will disappear and I am left looking at the general text thread, but at least when I pull the box back up my message is still there and I can keep going. Happens CONSTANTLY. I am an avid texter and will have to try other ROMS to fix if I cannot resolve. I'm lazy and don't want to do that .
Should I wipe and flash 2.0, then 2.0.1? OR I guess if I'm going to do all that I might as well flash 3.0? Any more conservative suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!!!

i'd suggest going to 3.0, never used it tho. do a nand back up first, and if you don't like it you could always restore back. the update of the rom might fix what ever is causing your issues. i read most of the EE thread, and don't ever recall anything like what you describe. maybe .... you could try uninstall handcent, then reinstall see if it helps any. just might be worth a try.
also you prolly should of posted this in the EE thread. some people around here get pissy when new threads are started.
Evil Eris 2.0.1 is only a flash update to 2.0 - you must have EE2.0 installed first. It also sounds like you didn't do a data wipe before flashing EE either. Personally, I would move to EE3.0 anyways. Framework is working on an update to 3.0 now that will finish the incomplete theme as well.
What g00gl3 said. Do a data wipe (backup first) and flash 3.0 anyways. There'll be a new version of 3.0 out very soon.
I did do a wipe... I'll try 3.0 and see what happens. That's a project for the weekend. BTW, I cannot find the EE thread. Can someone post a link to that? Search is limited in this forum (and I'm new here so maybe it's right in front of me). Thanks for the advice!
It's in the front now, I had a few FC's at first when I flashed it, but after a couple of days it was smooth sailing.
EE Link is in my sig.

Me too, lolz...
Thanks kindly everyone! Apologies to Mods for the new thread.
Flashed 3.0 yesterday and issue has been resolved, as it mostl likely would had i gone back and instead flashed 2.0 THEN 2.0.1. Anyhoo, LOVE 3,0!!! I especially dig the subtle blue theme (blue battery display, icon backgrounds turn blue when touched, etc). SWEET. Soft key backlights work, runs super smooth. Very nice!

Issues with Swype on Leaked 2.2 ROM

I am having a couple issues with the official Beta of Swype on the Leaked 2.2 ROM. According to a browse through the Swype forums it looks like Swype does have issues on 2.2 in general. Hopefully we can get an updated version that isn't so buggy.
1. Swype has stopped functioning randomly several times. Can use as regular keyboard. - Attempted clearing temporary data (cache) but didn't fix. Ended up re-installing it to get it working again.
2. Occasionally the default keyboard just sets itself back to the HTC/Android and I have to re-set Swype as my input method.
Anyone else having these issues? This will also be posted on the official Swype Beta forums as soon as I figure out how to post there.
1st: didn't work using Titanium backup, I had to uninstall, and reinstall from scratch
2nd: I couldn't get it to swype into the URL bar of internet, however without doing anything else it worked in another app just fine...
So, there's some "things" going on for sure.
Same
I agree my Swype doesn't work on Froyo. This sucks. I'm forced to use swiftkey...which isn't that bad.
I don't recall where I saw the thread, but apparently Swype has responded. They said a reinstall isn't necessary, just switch to the stock keyboard and back to Swype. I haven't tried it yet, but figured I'd pass along the information.
http://swype.uservoice.com/forums/1...-be-reinstalled-every-time-i-reboot?ref=title
That works, however not forever. It eventually stops working again. I've had to "hold" on the input box to get the popup to switch input methods a couple of times now. Each time it has fixed swype for a little while.
nevermind, still seems to be buggy on 2.2

[Q] very strange keyboard issue

i've searched for an answer to this question but most keyboard problems i've come across deal with the entire keyboard freezing or lagging and usually changing settings like pop ups and autocomplete resolve the issue.
my problem deals with individual keys freezing. when this happens, the rest of the keyboard functions as normal. usually closing and reopeneing the keyboard or pressing other keys will fix it but that's really annoying to have to do. the delete key and space key freeze the most but i've experienced it with just about every key. i've tried every different keyboard in the market and tried changing keyboard settings but the problem persists. i don't know where else to turn so i decided i would ask on here.
i posted this in a dev thread earlier because i originally thought it was a rom issue, but the issue has repeated on several different roms and other people have confirmed that they're experiencing the same problem. i'm not sure how widespread it is, but it's definitely something that i think needs to be addressed.
i'll appreciate any response so thanks for any help in advance
If it is across all the keyboards you try, maybe it is something with your screen? I had similar issues with my phone, where if I would have two fingers touching the keyboard on different keys, it would flip out, and sometimes lag. I am currently using the HTC_IME keyboard and I no longer have issues. Btw my phone is an optimus v. Hope I helped. Cheers.

I have the same exact problem. And you're right on, my delete key will stop responding a lot of time. Especially when I long press it to delete words quickly.
I have used like 5 different keyboards with the same problem. This happens to every ROM EXCEPT Royal Ginger 2.1
And I have no idea why RG2.1 is the only cure...

thanks for the quick response. and yeah i'm beginning to think it might be screen issue. if i unroot it and return it to stock and it still happens would t-mobile or htc replace it?
also, is the HTC_IME just the stock HTC keyboard?

thanks man, i might have to try out RG2.1. i used MIUI 1.7.15 for about two weeks without any problems and thought i found the fix but it eventually started doing it again.

They might replace it, but I wouldn't count on it. They'd probably factory reset it to see if that works. HTC_IME is a modded keyboard found here on XDA, it is highly themeable, but I use it for its precision and its multitouch functionality.
Here is a link to the OP.

Since you are running HTC sense, you need not install clicker.
Hope this helps.

While there are modded versions of HTC_IME out there (such as jonasl's), HTC_IME is also the name of the stock keyboard that comes with all Sense/mySense ROMs.

You are right, but it doesn't change the fact that it is a damn fine keyboard I swear it is the best I've used to date.

[Q] [solved] Keyboard losing focus and vanishing all the time

Hello everyone !
I have a big issue since I switched to the CM 10.2.
when I am typing something (on any chatting software for example), each time my phone has a notification and/or any activity, my phone keyboard lose focus and vanish.
It is really super annoying when typing something and the keyboard vanish 5 times in a sentence, simply because my phone seems to refresh something... This issue happens mostly on the stock CM keyboard, I haven't tested so much the other ones, but it seems to happen with them too. I have uninstalled many program, updated my CM so many times, but nothing change
Does someone have the same issue, or any solution ?
Thanks a lot
Edit : Solution found by eksasol, scroll down a bit to find it

I cannot really understand that the keyboard loses focus and vanishes.. I have never seen something like this. Try to install Google Keyboard from Play Store to see if this happens too.

I have similar issues to that, I deleted the AOSP LatinIME.apk and libjni_latinime.so first, then install Google Keyboard, by flashing it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
I also found that when you do that and not clear AOSP LatinIME's app data before rebooting, the Google Keyboard somehow takes in some of the AOSP keyboard settings and become theme-able by the CM themes, normally it isn't. Pretty strange.
Also just in case you haven't, make sure to do a factory reset and wipe /system partition when you update to a newer CM version.

After a day of test, apparently it works !! Thank you very much !!!!
I found out that the reason the gesture typing for AOSP keyboard is crashing possibly because it its lib file doesn't support gesture, so you need to replace it with the lib from Google's Keyboard.
So extract the Google's lib located in its APK in the 'lib\armeabi-v7a\ folder and rename it as libjni_latinime.so and put it in "/system/lib", overwritting stock.
Also contrary to what I previously said, it's not a good idea to put Google Keyboard into /system/app as I find it makes it unable to update for some reason.

Text box keeps appearing after I type with any keyboard in any app

Does anyone know what's going on here? I reset to manufacturer settings, use swyft or Gboard and still the same thing happens no matter what app I installed first. So I don't think it's a foreign app that is causing this to happen. Any additional advice will help. Thank you.
This example shows Clash Royale after using Gboard (Google a keyboard) which doesn't happen on any of my other devices with the same exact apps installed.
Using stock 7.1.2
I find it hard to believe this hasn't happened to anyone else on any other device. It almost disables my phone at times.

It might be some sort of accessibility setting on 7.1.2 to make it easier to read what you are typing. I only ran 7.1.2 for a couple of days but I never noticed anything like that. I would go through all the settings and see if anything is enabled that appears to be pertinent to your issue. It sure looks like an intentional feature rather than a bug.
