After updating to 7.1 beta I've noticed a weird bug(?) with google keyboard.
When writing in Swedish 95% of the words that contains the letter ä will not be suggested correctly, but instead treats it as a mistake and corrects to something completely else. Especially noticeable when swiping, the text becomes close to gibberish with random words.
Some examples: Writing "här" corrects to "har" (notice that the letter a is on the other side of the keyboard compared to ä). Swiping the word "bälte" becomes "vår".
I've tried re-downloading the Swedish suggestions, resetting app data, removing my synced library (there goes my saved words, hurray) and tried removing English suggestions. Nothing works.

Does anyone know how to change the default autocomplete selection for XT9? I use the default MS keyboard SIP, but when I enter an "a", it defaults to "ã" every time. If I select the "a" shown, it sometimes remembers this, and sometimes not. I NEVER want to use an "ã" character when I press "a".
There are other problems with the autocomplete, for example when I enter the following characters,
"This is a test"
I get, "This Is ã test". Why did it capitalize the I in "is". And of course there's the ã problem.
I am using English, yet getting non-English characters? Does anyone knwo how to correct these issues?
I noticed the same problem. That or it would just try to spell out a word totally different from that which I have typed. I just disabled auto-complete and the problems temporarily solved but there in the background. Hopefully there's a fix for this.
Also, since disabling auto-complete, I am now using PCM Keyboard. This seems to have helped with the auto-complete turned on as well but still getting some serious typos thanks to it.
I think the "spelled a completely wrong word" issue is the "spell check" of XT9. I don't have a problem with that so much as the casing. It almost randomly capitalizes the first letter of random words. I type them properly, hit space, and boom, it gives me something else. That accented ã is extremely annoying though. Does anyone know of a way to edit/replace the dictionary? In reality I'd like it to offer the standard WM autocomplete words (from the classic suggestion popup), but using the new interface.
Hey,
I've searched for the answer to this with fail so will just put it out there: I've got this lovely Swype app for my htc incredible, very usable & lightyears ahead of the stock keyboard. But there are waaaay too many words in the dictionary it's using that aren't typically used in U.S. English (maybe another country's English, ok). Too often - even with autocorrect off - it will pick a word other than the word I think I've carefully swyped, and it won't even be a recognizable word...
I've read in the tutorial that you can highlight a word then hit the Swype button & it will popup dialogue asking if I want to delete that word, but it's never worked for me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? If nothing else I'd happily go through that process of editing out unusable words.
Is there a way to go into Swype's dictionary, maybe even by accessing it via the SD card somehow, and using a text app to go through Swype's dictionary and edit it to my liking?
The answer to this is already on the Swype tech support forum.
There is no way to edit the stock dictionary or the user dictionary.
Highlight word and press Swype key only removes words which you have added to the dictionary. To add a word, simply type it letter by letter and press spacebar afterwards.
Swype works based on previously-chosen word frequencies. If you swipe a certain combination which could be several things and continually choose the one word, that word will become the most likely selection over time.
It seems there is a serious incompatibility with keyboards in general (I'm rooted on 1.1 with touchnooter and oc kernel), where the word suggestions bar does not display (in any keyboard). breaking support for 9 key input or chinese IME along with many other input methods. Only keyboards that automatically choose the first result in word suggestions can have auto correct, and even then there is no way to choose between words. What is keeping the word suggestions box from displaying in any keyboard (I have tried about 10 keyboard input methods so far all with the same problem)?
The problem is, normally there is a bar where you type the romanization and it gives you a list of options to click for the correct spelling/characters. That bar is missing from every keyboard app I have installed with spelling correction or chinese character typing.
Does this have anything to do with the nook firmware, or the system folder installation method? What is the proper way to install a keyboard (step by step) and can ANYBODY confirm or get a working keyboard? (EDIT: I'm positive I installed correctly and installing different ways makes no difference on suggestions bar support)
If a dev can please help us out, maybe try installing sougou android pad as it has english config menus. Basically, if you type a word like "xiang" it should give you a list of characters to select between, such as 想，象，向 etc. If it doesn't display the list of characters then obviously you can't type in chinese (not legibly anyway). Imagine chinese input like 9 key input, if you don't have the ability to select the best guess, half of what you type will be gibberish. Well, the bar used to display those guesses are missing in every keyboard I've installed on the nook.
Additional info:
I have tried installing:
Sougou input (tablet)
Sougou phone input method
Baidu
Smart Keyboard plus chinese
smart keyboard plus english
All have the same problem where they do not fetch different spelling options or character options. They are missing that popup selection or bar completely. This also makes it so 9 key keyboards won't work obviously which depend on guessing and allowing you to select the correct 'guess'.
Please help, this may be due to the keyboard support in nook firmware, or it may be a simple setting or missing file that which can be corrected somehow. If you have this problem or have any ideas or suggestions please share your experience! If you have a working suggestion bar (NOT just auto correct) please share how you got it as well. With googling, although hard to find I have seem some reports of this problem appearing on other devices /custom roms as well, so it might not just be nook simple touch specific but a problem with the rom! Thanks!
To avoid any confusion, text prediction, word dictionaries, etc. all work, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the keyboard application, and it applies to every keyboard running on the nook. It's the actual suggestions bar that is not visible on any keyboard. Unfortunately this means that unless the first prediction/suggestion is what you want, you're screwed. Obviously this makes 9 key impossible, as well as typing in languages, especially Chinese. Before someone asks, it doesn't matter if you set the suggestions to be visible or not, no keyboard, regardless of settings, is capable of displaying a word, spelling, or character suggestions bar on my NST until this bug can be fixed.
I posted some images of this problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35976521&postcount=2
I'm using the Samsung keyboard on my Note 4 with two languages enabled (English and German)
Sadly the autocorrect and word learning seems to unified which means that when I write in English (with the English language selected on the space bar ) I still get many german word offered by autocorrect.
Also learnt words seem to be stored in only one dictionary; not a pet-language one
But many words are similar (in terms of swiping path etc) between the two languages so that autocorrect's offerings are often useless. (Bettet instead of better)
The same applies for the handwriting input as that seems to be part of the same keyboard implementation. ..
I'd like it much better if it only used the selected language for word suggestions and kept separate dictionaries for leant words. .I can live with having to store some entries (like names etc) twice if I must
So is there a way to accomplish that?
Or is there a replacement keyboard that works as well with handwriting and swiping but which has separate dictionaries etc?
Try another keyboard maybe?
Right. Suggestions?
This issue affects swype-style input on keyboards with this capability. It affects only certain apps - the most useful ones, unfortunately. Does anybody else experience this?
The exact misbehavior depends on the app and the keyboard.
Overleaf.com in Firefox or Chrome browser with Swype keyboard: cursor jumps randomly, autospacing does not work. Space key can also move the cursor to the beginning of the word just entered, and mess up the input entirely, or delete all the previously entered text. SwiftKey swiping enters nothing. Space deletes input on LG keyboard and GBoard.
Quoda text editor and Termux: Swype keyboard doesn't autospace. LG keyboard and SwiftKey won't swype at all. If I put spaces in manually with Swype, there are random weirdnesses like inputting the last word over and over; not reliably reproducible.
So Swype is overall unusable in these apps, and none other that I tried fare better (including GBoard). Non-swyping keyboards seem to work fine (I tried the Hacker keyboard), but I need the speed of swyping.
Other apps work fine, including 920 text editor and MS Word.
This issue is NOT the same as reported in this thread.
