How To Get Rid of The Black Autocomplete Box When Using Hardware Keyboard
To Hide the Autocomplete Box:
1. Type as Normal Until Words Start Appearing
2. Press Menu Button Twice
3. Autocomplete should hide itself
To Bring the Autcomplete Box Back:
1. Press the text field once
2. Should Pop Back up once you start typing
Super thanks to the1wingedangel for figuring it out!
Original Post:
But does anyone know how to get rid of the black word suggestions that pop up underneath the text entry box when your using the full keyboard on the G1? I for the life of my can not figure out what auto correct option to uncheck. The worst part is that its really unpredictable and might show up 1 out of 10 times i start typing with the keyboard.
Thanks guys : )
EDIT: ooops sorry. Over looked the word 'full'
Good question...that started showing up randomly for me a couple of days ago.
Double tapping the text box while your keyboard is open should get rid of it from showing up again.
Hmm good idea uber, will give it a shot next time the thing pops up and let you know how it works out.
That annoyed the hell out of me so much i switched roms. It would auto-replace words that I didn't want replaced.
Alright so I tried the double tap thing and no luck on that front. Didn't work out for me. Anyone else try that fix out?
And I know what you mean CBowley. It might just take a .lib deletion or something to fix tho. Heres to hoping that something comes up : )

Make sure you're doing it before you type anything in the box or it's locked to the ON position. I've done it a few times on my phone right here and it's working like clockwork. :-/
Ah I see so are you saying to double tap before I enter anything in the textbox ever? The problem is that it will show up completely random times like 1 in 10 or something. But I'll try double tapping before entering anything in the field and see if that keeps it at bay.
To turn off auto complete and auto correct:
Menu->settiings->Locale & Text->Touch Input (or whatever KB u r using)->Text Input
From here you can turn on/off all KB/typing features.

Thanks maubig, but those settings don't help change the autocompletion for the full keyboard. VK isn't giving me the problem.
Ok, I seem to have figured out how to kill that annoying text suggestion pop up when using the hardware keyboard. When it pops up, double click menu button. To re-activate it, touch the text box once, then start typing. Seems to work.

Excellent Angel! That worked perfect for me. Did the trick exactly like you said it would. Lets see if it works for other people too. Time to change thread title. Thanks : )
Thanks for this... I despised that stupid black suggestion box.
Anyone else get the problem where when you repy to a text you get numbers instead of letters, is there a fix for this yet?
If that happens I just hide the keyboard and then press the bit where it says 'Press here to type' or something like that. Takes a second to do and always seems to work for me when that happens
Didnt know you could do it that way, I tend to go into quick text or whatever its called then cancel back out and its ok after that.
Damned annoying though and surely something that would of been picked up in pre release testing?
I find that when trying to reply, it instructs you to tap screen to reply, but it takes several seconds and lost of tapping before it starts allowing me to type. Very annoying!
I must have done something wrong. I can not find the way to switch from the standard keyboard to the android keyboard anymore when making text messages. Could I have incidentally uninstalled something? If so, how to reinstall ??
Any suggestions?
Thank you !
Go into Messages... as if you are gonna type a a new message...
Where you normally type press your finger down and hold for few moments and it should bring up a menu to change keyboard types...
So, I just switched to an HD2 from an AT&T Tilt 2. Every time I type something, I get 'suggestions' on completeing my words. I don't want them, at all. I've disabled word suggestion in the Input menu, and I've used Advanced Config to change the number of words suggested to 0. Neither setting actually works.
Thoughts, ideas?
On the keyboard there may be a button just above the left shift key that says xt9/abc if you press it to highlight abc instead of xt9 it shouldn't offer any more suggestions. At least it was that way on mine anyway.
OMG
That was waaaaaaay to freaking simple.
Thank you so much. And thanks from my roommate and girlfriend as well, since I'm not whining about this.
I mentioned this once in a Development thread, but I am hoping maybe now someone can help. I often find myself wanting to make use of the keyboard in situations when it does not automatically come up. On my phone I can hold menu to bring it up, but of course Honeycomb does not have this.
Any how does anyone know a way to do this?
like what situation????
arrowing through menus etc...
It is also useful when fields don't pop the keyboard up right. The search button on this forum is a good example. Click it, then click the text field, it will close as soon as teh keyboard pops up, then the keyboard goes too.
