Hi everyone
I have a Samsung S5 G900F running Android 5.0 rooted with philz_touch_6.26.6-klte.
The red underlined text correction annoyes me. I tried to disable it, but it doesn't depend on what keyboard I'm using.
Because I'm a new member I'm unable to post pictures. Each word who is wrong is red underlined. When you press on the word you can chose under several suggestions the right word.
I've read other post in which the problem was to enable the correction. These didn't helped to me.
It isn't the keyboard text correction! I've disabled on each keyboard I'm using the textcorrection
Is there an option to switch this feature off?
Are you using google keyboard? Uninstall and the underlining will be gone.
Thanks, that helped. But is there no other way to use Google Keyboard without the underlined words?
A change in the system (TextEdit) or something else?
Not that i now.

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?

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.

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!
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 .
Recently my phone started throwing out emoticons when I swipe type with the google keyboard. For example, when I type "right", it types a right arrow. Wtf? Is there a way I can disable this?
Thanks

Answer here appears to work: go into system settings->language and input->google keyboard settings gear->text correction->add-on dictionaries->install emoji for english, then delete it.
I think this may have taken away my ability to actually make emoji on purpose though.
Hi,
I use samsung keyboard provided with the phone.
I have spelling mistakes disabled but prediction is on.
Still, sometimes when I write some words atr random are underlined in a light gray and if I click i get a delete button and one single suggetsion
I have a A2017U on B27 Stock that's unlocked, rooted, and with Xposed.
I use three Google keyboards: English, Japanese, and Korean. Whenever the keyboard opens, I'll have a notification that allows switching between the three. It's irrelevant since each of the keyboards has a button to switch between them anyways. Has anyone found a way to remove it?
I've read that deleting all keyboards except one fixes this, which is obviously not a solution. I've also read that this is a notification built into the Android ROM, but there are individual phone model specific fixes for it. If anyone has found an Axon 7 solution please let me know.
Also, anyone know how to remove this globe button from the keyboard? It switches between my three keyboards, but it's redundant since long pressing the Space bar key does the same action. I often press it accidentally when trying to type a comma or a space.
Hey I was able to achieve this was by manually deleting the stock keyboard with a file explorer except the google one; aka only leaving ONE keyboard. I don't think you can do that without deleting all other keyboards. As you can see from the screenshot, I don't have any keyboard notifications.
You could try http://repo.xposed.info/module/biz.underpants_gnomes.android.xposed.mods.hidexposedime and see if it works. About the globe, I have no idea.
Get Swift keyboard, it has language packs download.

Yeah I mentioned in my post I found that info, and it's not a solution when you need to type in three different languages.

Thank you!!! Worked like a charm! Also read on its Xposed page description that Cyanogenmod can do this natively without an app/module. Good to know once we get an official CM ROM.
No need for xposed.
It's a notification to ask you to choose a keyboard. Click the notification, click choose keyboards at the bottom, disable keyboards you are not using. Done.

Again for the second time, if you'd read the OP this is not a solution for anyone who types in multiple languages. Thankfully member awsomjgp provided an Xposed module solution that fits the original requirements.
