I installed the htc keyboard and now as a result my hardware keyboard no longer predicts text. I uninstalled the htc keyboard since it was a bit laggy. So far droid x keyboard seems to work the best, at least for me anyways. Because of my experiment I no longer have predictive text / auto correction (I went into settings and checked them) I suppose the only way around this is clearing something or uninstalling and reinstalling the hardware keyboard software? I wish the htc keyboard could've took over the predictive text (option in the keyboard said it would) but it doesnt.

Mine either.
install swiftkey from the market it is a lot like the stock one in many ways but it will give you word prediction on the HW keyboard. it has a cool feature to scan your sms and "learn" your most used words
The very first mod i did was install the droid x keyboard i uninstalled the htc keyboard and droid x keyboard and then reinstalled the droid x keyboard and functionality was restored! Definitely gonna check that app out though, thanks for the tip.

Smart Keyboard pro adds this feature as well.
Thanks for the swiftkey app info I wasn't aware of it works pretty good I love it.

Does anyone know a way to have predictive text for the physical keyboard without having to use another keyboard such as smart keyboard or swiftkey? I really like the gingerbread keyboard and I want to know if I can have that and predictive text for my physical keyboard.

I was recently wondering this too because i like the latest swype, but also want predictive for HW keys... i only just started digging around but i'm sure there's a way to make this happen...
Menu>settings>language & keyboard>built in keyboard (or device keyboard depending on your rom) will auto replace misspelled words, but no predictive text without Touchpal or the like. I personally like Thumb Keyboard. Best theming, IMO.

I'm using thumbkeyboard beta right now and i was wondering if it was possible to disable the "keyboard not selected" warning when i dock in?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I get the same warning, but I'm not even sure what it means. I ignore it and the keyboard still works fin be..... Would be nice to disable it, but not really a big issue for me.
I think it means that the hardware keyboard might not be properly interpreted if you have another keyboard selected.
I wish you could automatically have it switch to the ASUS keyboard when you clicked it in. And then switch back to whatever you had before.
Anyone know if there is an easy way to switch apps with the hardware keyboard?

Hi,
The text select cursor (the blue pointy thing) gets hidden behind the keyboard when the text I am entering or selecting is just above the keyboard. I've attached a screenshot to illustrate the issue. This wasn't always the case.
Also earlier the drop down with the word suggestions and correction options would stay over the keyboard but now any part of it that flows over the keyboard is hidden behind it. This also wasn't the case earlier. I couldn't replicate the issue for this thread. But I hope was I explained is clear enough.
I'm running the stock ROM on my N4, version 4.3, build - JWR66Y.
Stock keyboard. I dunno what other information I could share.. do let me know.
Thanks a lot for any help.
I've tried searching for a solution for the problem and I've got none. Hope I ran a search the proper way and didn't miss out on another similar thread.
There is a part of the email body missing on top and bottom. It appears that you are zoomed in. Are you using the stock kernel? Have you changed the resolution of the phone? Are you using any of the accessibility settings?

No, I've just typed enough to scroll the screen up a bit. No zooming. No accessibility settings. No custom kernel. Like I said, it's stock.
Ok got you. I just went and tried to replicate this with gmail, as I am using the stock rom and kernel. I basically get the same behavior, except I get no cursor at all. Is that something you enabled somewhere?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
It's got nothing to do with Gmail specifically. I just chose Gmail to illustrate the issue. The same issue / behaviour is exhibited on all apps which have text boxes - messengers, social apps, notes, etc.
The blue pointer cursor won't appear on it's own. You have to tap the text the way you do when you want to move the cursor to a particular point or when you want to select a piece of text.
The cursor shows up upon tapping the text once. From there you can drag it. My point being that it is nearly impossible to drag since 95% of the curson/pointer is hidden behind the keyboard.
Ok, I follow you now. I don't have that problem within none of my apps that use the keyboard. I am rooted but running stock rom, keyboard, and kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
Now see, that's exactly how it used to be for me as well. That's normal behaviour. Hope someone can point out why I'm facing this issue and rectify it.
Thanks for the help.
I am having this exact problem. Is there a way to fix this?
Help
Is there or has there been any updates on this? I ran into the same issue on my 2013 vanilla Moto X. Now I have that issue on my brand new Nexus 6P. I really want to resolve this. Not only is the cursor hidden, but spelling corrections and other items are being hidden. The keyboard I'm using is by SwiftKey, but the results are the same using the Google Keyboard. Help!
Example 1
Example 2
Facing the same issue on my Note 4 rooted with kitkat 4.4.4 on Stock Touchwiz and Xposed. Driving me nuts. Any solution, guys, please help. Tried with multiple Keyboards. Same issue across all apps, not just Gmail. The blue curor just disappears behind the keyboard. In my earlier note 3 the page would scroll down as I keep selecting, here the selection stops upto the keyboard point.
Anyone? Please help......
Update
I have an update on this issue. It's not a solution unfortunately, but it might be a clue for someone.
I was using the Facebook Messenger app earlier, messaging someone in a chat head (the hovering bubble for anyone who doesn't know), and both the cursor and the spelling corrections were on top of the keyboard. Not hidden behind. What does that mean? That's the first time I've noticed those things working properly
Yes in my previous 4.3 Note3 thats exactly how the text selection cursor behaved so I could continue selecting text. In Note4 it goes BEHIND the keyboard and stops selecting further and in fact just disappears. Only the text selected till that point remains highlighted. Need a mod to bring the cursor on TOP of KB instead of behind like Rawk3rSix pointed out. Some expert developer help and input needed....
An update : I tried the stock Email App instead of Gmail app today and to my surprise the issue is not there at all in Email App. Works like a charm. Im able to select text even with the cursor going below the keyboard. Problem solved for now. Something in the Email App which is there or not there in the Gmail App.
In that stock email app, how do the spelling corrections work for you? Are they ok?
I dont really use spelling correction from the stock Email App. I hate autocorrect anyway.
I use Xposed Module TEXT AIDE which serves the purpose anywhere pan-device

Stock mail app so much better than GMail :
a. Text selection error resolved
b. No forced Conversation View
c. When forwarding a message and trying to edit the forwarding text, no ridiculous ">" symbols before each line
I use Inbox and Outlook for email
The issue wasn't solved for your texting or messaging app though, right? I use Facebook Messenger and Google Messenger
Yes texting not resolved but since text msgs are usually much smaller, I can live with it.
Clue : Apparently this issue surfaced after the last Kitkat update 4.4.4...... Probably may or may not be there in LP/Marshmallow
Is anyone out there?? This issue is getting old and very frustrating =( help!
im using the stock samsung keyboard on my att s4 for texting inside google hangouts. i got the autocorrect feture a while back where it gives the sweeping replacement arrow on the left of the suggestions box then the two other suggested words on the center and right boxes, one day the arrow disappeared and the whole system acted more like the apple set up and i had three suggestions words and no arrow and the spacebar would auto replace with a spelling correction. now out of nowhere it has switched back to the sweeping arrow again. what am i missing here? i liked the three word setup much more. is this a setting im missing somehow of what??? or some sort of updated happening behind the scenes??
AT&T Galaxy i337 S4 MK2 rooted.
Did not like the original samsung s4 keyboard but that is my own thought as I was so used to using the Google Keyboard on Nexus 4
I currently use the SwiftKey beta keyboard app for my S4 and it working great
Before that I had the Google Keyboard which you can download from Playstore and give it a try
hey thanks for the reply, and sorry im so late getting back. thanks for the tip on the different keyboards. ive tried the google keyboard which i really like the simplicity of but i really like the dedicated number row on the stock s4 board. ive also tried the swift beta and its so close to perfect but ive really gotten used to the long press punctuation on the s4 also. i also dont care for the way i have to swype for the question mark on the swift beta keyboard.
my original question is a wierd one though and i dont think i asked it well. i think my issue is more with the auto correct feature than they keyboard. there is an arrow that shows up to dismiss the autocorrected word. that disappeared for a while and then it came back. i kinda liked the three word replacement better than the two words and the arrow. i was just curious why it switched and then switched back. and if i could choose it somehow.
Well, this is weird! I have NOT switched the keyboard and am using the default Samsung one.
First few days using the Note 3, I had this AWESOME keyboard which had a tiny symbol as a secondary function of any button. I could easily pick all sorts of punctuation and symbols. Now, it's GONE! I can only see the usual letters & numbers and, for symbols, I must go click the symbol button.
How can I fix this? I want the keyboard with symbols as the alternate for letters in all places where I use the keyboard. I even had the feeling that it learned what symbols I use more often and had replaced less used symbols.
Clues?
Thank you!

Well try the keyboard settings in language and input first. .. maybe something switched...
Nothing seems to have changed and I can't even find any setting related to symbols. I even tried to reset settings. No luck .
If phone is rooted can use xposed module samsung alt symbols. Or try to delete either feature.xml ir others.xml in system/csc if both files are in the folder. If only 1 do not delete anything. Backup both before delete.

I believe your phone may have installed some major update (with or without asking you). At this point to re-enable that you will probably need to root first and then edit a (text) file - search around for a thread describing just that.
I had this happen to me when I installed wanam exposed. Under system you have an option that says "enable keyboard symbol" this option has to be checked.

And if you're not rooted, there's always SwiftKey. Free now, too.

Thanks lildoggs, I did what you said and it worked. My symbols are back! Hooooooraaaay! . Thanks to Rosli59564 too for the file tips. Luckily Xposed fixed it.
I am SURE that I did not uncheck that. Most probably it somehow reset my settings when I first started Wanam Xposed (which I did start some days ago).
Well, all is good now. Thanks for replying, all of yous .
