[Q] No period button on number pad? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having difficulty finding how to input a period when this phone uses the number pad. Screenshot of the issue is below, but I just find it odd that the period button is not readily available. Brand new Galaxy S5, no root, no ROM, no custom launcher. Just a plain Jane TouchWiz issue?

So, nobody has this issue? My wife's Note3 also seems to exhibit the same key pad behavior on the fuelly site.

Anybody?

I use swiftkey as my keyboard.. No problem.. Much better keyboard IMHO

I've always found Samsung's keyboards to be a little on the inferior side, hence I just straight install Google Keyboard from the Play Store, much better, worth a try and because it's free you don't loose anything from it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

Let me guess. It is because the text field input type is number. As you can see the web expect numbers for gallon and miles. The web tells the keyboard to show the number mode. It is a feature.

I guess I'll just install Swype. I really wanted to like TouchWiz...

[Q] keyboard

Is there a better keyboard that I can keep from 1.6 to 2.1 ?
I've had an HTC and a Samsung and both let me select the old stand by 3x4 keyboard with predictive text.
I'm looking for that.
Ok I found a fix.
I wish I could take screen captures so this is the best I can do.

I used this package, created here on XDA by member http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2150306
I DL'd the RAR file
Unpacked it
I only used HTC_IME_hi.apk file and disregarded the clicker_APK
Bluetoothed it to my 2.1 X10A
Checked " unknown sources" under Applications/Settings
Astro walked me thru the rest in 3 seconds, Then installation took 4 seconds.
I know have the 3x4 phone pad keyboard I prefer.
Enjoy.
Oh predictive text is a billion times better as the suggested words are bubbles that you can click, there is also a "Check mark" in that row that will expand to all suggested words with "Add a word" button right there for you to use.
TOTAL WIN.
You must be able to install 3rd party apps as this is NOT available on the market.

[Q] How to GeT the Mic Icon on Swype???

Hi Guys,
I hate opening this thread but after doing search after search for 3 days straight now i was left with no choice.
I recently had to swipe out clean my SD card, I re installed everything again including my vesion of SWYPE which at one point in the past it had the Mic Icon funtion.
Now its not on my keyboard under the freash install. A while back I had ran into a webpage were it simply showed you how to added to the keyboard which depending on your software version it was hidden. it was something like Press Space, something, something and Viola!!!!
Does anyone know the settings to put the mic on my keyboard? I should have saved that webpage, but now am frying my brain digging endlessly online. Any help would be appreciated.
Fyi... This is my current Swype Version: swype_with_mic_english_only_2.4.44.10912.t100apk

Edit Search History Entries - Feature missing form Android OS

I have found a little unconvenient thing on Android. Do you like to use virtual keyboard? I hate it. I'm blind writer on my laptop qwerty keyboard but the flat screen kb is minus 10 years.
The situation worst when you have to type words twice or more. Especially when you are searching something but you mess up one caracter.

In the search history you can see your previous (messed up) word but there is no possibility to edit them because when you click on it, your browser start to search it again.
On a desktop browser you can modify anithing in the borwser (or search) history list. Android should have this feature as well.
My theory solution is:
When you press and hold your tap on the search history item, the string moves to the search bar and you are able to modify it. And a simple click just search it just before.
Am I the only one who miss this?
I agree, I have this problem on market. Even if there is what you want on the search history with a small mistake or 2 words with no space, you cant edit it. Its realy annoing.

Rogers S5 Lollipop lock screen block text

I updated to 5.0 a while back when Rogers rereleased it, and every once in a while the numbers/letters on the lockscreen keypad will turn to white blocks. The lock screen is the only place that this happens.
Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it besides rebooting the phone?

Bump!
Anyone has a better solution than reboot?
It is appearing on T-Mobile I-9505, I-9515 and G-900F.
Do you use SwiftKey? My girlfriends Canadian GS5 is doing this as well, when I searched the internet I found a reference with regards to SwiftKey not playing 100% nice with Lollipop and causing this blockyness on the lock screen. So far there has been no fix other than reboot... She's been a couple of months now with this annoyance, but luckily it doesn't seem to affect the usability, you just have to know which numbers are which Side note: I have a Nexus 5 and use Swiftkey but don't have this problem.
This is apparently just a general lollipop issue, not really tied to anything just a glitch in android, i dont know a fix just thought id throw that out there.

Smart Swipe Gestures?

How do i get the half circle, spinning quick shortcut wheel to appear on the bottom left of my phone? My wife and i both have the USA T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and her phone is the only one that does it. If you swipe upwards diagonally, from the bottom left or right corner, then the quick access wheel appears. This only works on my wifes phone. We both got them at the same time, unboxed them together and she doesnt have the smart swipe app installed from the Galaxy store, but yet her phone does it without problems. There has to be a setting on my phone that can be changed to get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have a picture i took of her screen on my phone but not sure how to share it on here.

It's not a Samsung pre-installed app. You can read here and find what is yours

Thank you for the information. So it sounds like my wife must have an app installed on her phone that contains this feature, yes/no? Second, whatever apps contain this feature, it looks like everone is trying to get rid of it. That option wont appear on my phone because i dont have any apps that support that swipe gesture?
