stupid question,
In previous versions of android, I could long press a text field to bring up the "select input method" box to quickly switch between keyboards installed on the device without having to leave the app I was in.
I don't seem able to do that in JellyBean?
I have Swiftkey 3 Tablet installed if that makes any difference.
Am I missing something obvious?
bring up the kb and long press space on stock kb
thanks, that's great,
but what I really want to do is switch from Swiftkey 3 Tablet to another input method like the handwriting input that comes with "7notes".
the more input methods you select in 'settings>language and input' the more options should appear to switch between. Or, is that not appearing using swiftkey?
long pressing space in swiftkey doesnt seem to do anything.
I have ticked boxes next to "swiftkey", "google voice typing" and "7notes mazec" in language and input settings.
The only way i have found to use the mazec one is to set it as default input method, but then I have to go back into settings
after I have used it to set swiftkey back as default.
When tap on text entry box a little keyboard icon should appear in notification bar. Swipe down and you should see option to change input method

This may turn out to be an inane question, but I have had my unlocked Galaxy S I9000 for two weeks and have not been able to figure out how to turn on the Swipe keyboard feature. I have suffered through the tutorial where the feature worked just fine but unless I overlooked something there was no mention of turning the feature either on or off. All of the feature's adjustments under the settings heading appear to be initiated so, what have I missed?
Thank you in advance.
On my hero I have to first go into SETTINGS, LANGUAGE & KEYBOARD, then de-select my htc keyboard and select swype

Hold your finger where you input text, go to input method and select swype.

Thanks again.
It worked.
I installed swiftkey today to play around with it but uninstalled it. However now the input method menu option is still showing in text fields, even though android keyboard is the only choice. Anyone know how to get rid of this? Restarting and reinstalling / uninstalling swiftkey did not help. Thanks.
try clearing data for the keyboard?

Nice idea....no dice though!
Well this is odd...I restored a nandroid from before I installed swiftkey (only had android keyboard as an option) and the input method menu option is still there. Is this how its always been on cyanogenmod or something and I never noticed? I know it used to not show up, but now I don't know when that changed.

So you got it working? If not then go into MENU>SETTINGS>LANGUAGEAND KEYBOARDS and puput a check mark in the box for your keyboard and then long press in a text field and it should be there.
I think the problem is that he can't get the option for the keyboard to go away, not that he can't get it to show up. I've never heard of a problem like this. How did you uninstall Swiftkey?

Yeah that's the problem, its not that the option for swiftkey is still there, its that the "input method" menu option is present in all text field context menus, and when you choose it, the only option is "android keyboard". I believe that in the past, if you only had one keyboard, "input method" did not show up at all. So I restored a nandroid to before I installed swiftkey, and "input method" is still showing despite having only one keyboard, which is why I'm confused.
I just uninstalled swiftkey the regular way from the running tab of applications.
So, if you're running cm6.1, do you see "input method" even with only one keyboard installed?
Ahhh, I see. The input method will always show up, regardless of how many keyboards you have. This happens to everyone and to my knowledge it isn't a bug.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. I believe with the stock Sense ROM it removed that option when only one keyboard was enabled, but I guess I never noticed it didn't behave that way in AOSP/Cyanogen.
How do I stop the keyboard icon in the top left of the notification bar? I was using the stock keyboard and I could uncheck the Google voice typing, but it kept coming back. I changed to swipe, but now I can't uncheck the stock keyboard or disable it.
Any thoughts?
I get this alert from time to time to so i wonder about this too??
This is an Android 'feature' you can't turn off. The keyboard icon comes up whenever a keyboard is on the screen. You can't hide the icon. It's the same with any Android phone. I think it disappears if you use stock keyboard but I might be wrong.
Yes it's a stock android thing, but other phones you can disable the other keyboards so it doesn't pop up. I was hoping there was a way to do the same on this phone.

The reason you could not complete uncheck the Google Voice in Setting/Language and Input because your LG keyboard using it as an add on. I had try to turn the Google Voice off but it will come back agian
To disable the icon keyboard icon in the top left of the notification bar you should go to Setting/Language and Input then
1. Uncheck the Google Voice in Setting/Language and Input
2. hit the LG keyboard setting (it was a gear icon in the end of the LG keyboard row) then uncheck Voice input.

Yeah that works if using the lg keyboard. But now that I'm using swype, I can't disable the lg keyboard. Thanks for the response!

Use any Root Uninstaller to uninstall LG keyboard (remember to backup the LG keyboard).
I know about Swiftkey and Swype -among others, but looking for answer to stock keyboard question.
On other carriers it seems you can turn the settings cog to the comma (which I use a ton).
On Verizon note3 keyboard you cannot turn that to comma.. Option simply not there. So frustrating!
Also, why the hell don't they allow long press interval shortening

Is there a way shorten the delay on the stock keyboard? I'm rooted.
Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by shorten delay, if it is input or showing the keyboard itself. But you might want to try the developer option. Go to the setting menu and open "About Device". Touch "Build Version" a couple of times. The Developer Option will now be accessible in your settings menu. There's a setting to enable/disable animation and others, set them to "0".

I meant the long press delay; the time you hold down a keyboard key to get the secondary key.
Wouldn't shortening the delay cause more mispresses? You would potentially accidentally trigger the long press when you didn't meant to.
