Hey all,
I updated recently to lollipop using Kies, I got the bob8 build. Everything is working fine, except the gpsd battery drain issue but I identified my carrier 3g network as the culprit, so 2g is a temporal fix.
Anyway, the issue that's really bothering me is that I can't disable the Android spell checker. Usually you find the option to turn it off in language and input menu in settings, but it's not there on this Rom.
It's not my keyboard because it happens with any keyboard I use (have tried Swype, swiftkey, Google keyboard) and I disabled spell checker for those keyboards yet the red underline is still there. And it's annoying because I like my phone in English as main language but I usually write in Spanish so every word not in the English dictionary gets underlined.
You would think this is only cosmetic issue but it's not really, see, in Swype you may sometimes get spell mistakes so you want to go back and fix it. To do that you tap the word, it gets selected and you can swipe away the word again and will replace the one that was selected. Now it's impossible to do because tapping an underlined word will bring a suggestion pop-up that stays on top of everything (even keyboard) with English words to select. This is normal behaviour for Android spell checker and I always turned that off, but can't find any setting for that on this Rom.
Here is a screenshot

Same problem
You know, I've the same problem.
What I figured out is that it only happens when you write in other language than the system.
It's pretty annoying.
I'll try others roms. Maybe the problem is this build...

Greetings all!
I'm a new Wing user and I've come from using a Sidekick for several years.
The Sidekick had certain features on it that I dearly miss, and was wondering if there are programs that can help do the same functions that the Sidekick had.
It used to have an auto text feature where I could input text and when I'd type certain keys or letters it would autocomplete a phrase or text that I had assigned to that set of certain keys or letters.
Are there any other programs like that out there for pocket pc phones??
It's already built into the phone. Just try to type something and you'll see what I mean.
No...I meant, can I set it up that I can ADD words and phrases to its' already installed word database??
That's what I'm looking for.
It learns EVERY word that I write, whether spanish or english, whether spelled correctly, in short hard or mispelled... so yes, I think it does by default. Unless I'm just crazy...
I could be wrong, but im thinking hes askin if there is a way to store a set phrase like "I love you" or "are you coming over tonight". I know the text input is really good and auto memorizing words input, and I never really used the preset msg option on my old phones. Again I could be wrong, and I dont use or know of any program preinstalled or cab file.

Hi All,
For some odd reason all of the sudden Voice Input (speech to text) feature disappeared! I cannot find the little microphone in the keyboard. Also swiping across is not activating this feature.
I would appreciate any help.
thanks
Hold down the '?123'<keyboard settings<voice input (make sure it's checked)
That option doesn't exist. I was testing few keyboards and i wonder if i have un-installed the original one !?! When i go to input method i see "android keyboard". should it only say keyboard? sorry for my stupid questions.
If you literally hold down the "?123" key for a couple seconds a pop up will appear that gives a choice of input
Method or keyboard settings, hit keyboard settings.

I have installed HTC_IME Keyboard and the icon does appear now on the keyboard. However, nothing happens when i click it.
I don't believe the feature works with the hacked HTC_IME keyboard.
So i Flashed my xperia x10a yesterday to 2.1.... after that... I am not able to change the keyboard to android keyboard .. its stuck on default..
Can any one suggest what can I do ..
While at it, I am looking for swype too... i know that the beta program is closed, however, was wondering if i root my phone.. can i just borrow Swype apk from some one on the forum and use it ?
Possible alternative solution.

Two things I feel differently about.
Swipe and Handcent both seem to be "Everyone else is doing it,So I should to" kind of things.
Maybe I missed the boat but in the end I don't get it.
Either way, at least read the thread. You may like it.

You mean if you long press in the typing field you don't get a dialogue to choose the input method?
It should be there. If you're still unsuccessful try repairing/reinstalling via SEUS or PC Companion.
As for Swype, we're not supposed to post the apk here for this reason, however if you search for swype apk online you can find several sources.
I use both Swype and Handcent SMS and I find them both better than the stock apps that came with the phone.
I prefer to see this than the stock SMS app:

As this is Android you can customize the phone to your heart's content. Download, try and uninstall if you don't like it!
Hi
Downloaded & installed the gingerbread keyboard for non-rooted devices from xda (gbkb-en.apk).
The install appeared to be successful & i've been into keyboard settings & ticked the box, but still uses the 2.2 keyboard. Tried a restart but no change.
As mentioned, un-rooted & on 2.2.1 os.
Any ideas?
Figured it out, feel free to call me a spaz
You forgot to long press on a text input box to switch keyboards ......... you spaz lol

Tried installing it twice, restarted and re-installed again. All set up, but when I open the keyboard and click the first button to select a letter.... it just always force closes.

Had the same problem. Did you install the one from the market, or from here? I think i have the one from the market, and it's working just fine now.
I use the Steven Lin one which works nicely.

For anyone interested in trying it, go to this QR code and then scroll down in the market to the Free version in the `Related' apps section. If you like that you can opt to get the paid/donate one at any time. A couple of screen shots here.
Hi!
This might sound lamme, but I have no idea how this happened, but I have some applications acting as they have a rtl text alignment (facebook and Gmail are two of them).. Does this happened to anyone? How can I solve this?
At least facebook, gmail, chess.com app and hangouts, have this issue...
Thanks

To forum moderators: I'm sorry, this is the third place where I ask this in the forum, but I got no answer from the others and I couldn't delete them..
I dont exactly know whats wrong but I think this is related to language settings on your phone.

It makes sense, but I already tried to change the language to Portuguese, Spanish, American English, British English ..., and it keeps doing exactly the same thing
@rararafael I just found the solution. Its in developer options force rtl layout
Im posting a screenshot
@thahim, thank you so much! I don't remember ever set that on! Maybe something did that without my knowledge..
Once again, thank you so so much!
@rararafael Your welcome, I never noticed this option before
@tahim I am having the same issue on my Galaxy Note 4 but I cant find the developer option: where is it please ?
