Hello,
I've been quite disappointed with the HTC Keyboard on my European Hero (currently on 2.73.405.whatever firmware). In almost all cases in QWERTY mode it does not do any auto-correction of any type, even if I have prediction and spell checking turned on in the settings. It only offers auto-correction when I am in a multi-line input such as sending a text message or a textarea in a website . When it does work, it works well and I can type really efficiently. But in most text fields such a Google search box, etc, it gives me no auto-correction and I have to type each key exactly.
Strangely enough, in compact qwerty and keypad mode it always works, but in QWERTY mode it doesn't. Also I've tried TouchPal (a replacement keyboard) and it works all the time in TouchPal. But I would like it working on the stock HTC keyboard.
I just spotted a screenshot on some blog showing the auto-correction box working in a one-line textbox in QWERTY mode (the Google search box)!

Note the popup box with the orange pill-button and + key.
Has that one been hacked so correction always works, or is mine showing some software bug?
How can I get mine to do this?
same issue here, I wrote to htc support and waiting for an answer
Hi, I have noticed the same thing, it is probably a bug. Actually, the t9 doesnt work for me even in compact qwerty and phone keypad. Are you sure it does for you? i am running the latest fw too, 2.73.405.5 wwe.
Anybody in this forum can help?

Does anyone know where I can get a full screen dialpad for the 8525? It seems like a big waste of space not to be able to use to full screen for the keypad. I have fat fingers and it would make my life a whole lot easier to dial without having to use the stylus.
Thanks
Patrick
are you talking about something like pocketcm keyboard?
Try leaving your phone at the top of the stairs and then when it rings run up them to answer it, then you wont have such fat fingers, but i bet you live in a house with no stairs lol.
the touch dialpad has pretty big buttons
something like this?

try browse the forum in touchpal or better yet open www.cootek.com
Clarify
Are you looking for Dialpads or for Keypads? Dialpad are for dialing telephone numbers. Keypads are keyboards for typing messages and such.
Dialpads-Use the search enging (upper right of this page) and type in dialpads. If not on the first page of hits definately on the 2nd or 3rd you should get a lot. There are dialpads from the HTC Touch and Marshall (you can even search his name) has produced quite a few that even include smartdialing.
Keyboards-I recommend searching touchpal or go to PocketCM.com. Tene has developed a lot of large screened ones and there are skins for even larger looks.

You could use swiftkey from the market, it has a feature that allows you to enlarge the buttons and the prediction on it is amazing. It doesn't have t9 though, since it is only in qwerty.
TouchPal, it is: resizable, custom skins, Swype, t9, qwerty, azerty, prediction, supports many languages and its free!

Try multiling Keyboard!
I got pretty big fingers too
If you are willing to shell a few bucks, then try out Smart Keyboard Pro (use HTC skin) It works wonderfully on my G3

I use messagease, takes some time to get used to, but when you get used to it, you'll never press a wrong key again!
i tested it.
it´s not useful for me.
It looks like Google is ignoring a major bug with Chrome for Android.
Quoting the bugs:
- On phones/tablets that have a physical keyboard like our Xperia Pro do not get the option for a soft, on-screen keyboard when tapping a text field.
- When using the physical keyboard, the option to press 'shift' and 'alt' once or twice to get a capital letter (and caps lock) or numbers/symbols respectively is not available; you are being forced to hold either shift or alt if you want a capital letter or a number/symbol.
- If a text field can only input numbers, like a PIN code, Chrome does not default to numerical input from the physical keyboard, instead allowing any form of input.
- You cannot start typing from the page to enter a new url/search. So for example, I'm browsing and I want to search for 'youtube'. I cannot simple start typing this, instead I have to click the address bar, wait while it adjusts and then I can start typing. Not a big deal at first, but gets really annoying over time.
Here's a screenshot

Please go to the bug thread on Google here:
https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/chrome/lfOtoDf4G2o/4lt0z6gvU8oJ
And click "ME TOO!", let's push Google to fix this bug. I still don't know how they can label a product out of beta with this kind of bug.
Hehe you quoted me.
But yeah, Chrome cannot be 'out of beta' with this kind of flaw!
Guys, this bug has been finally fixed
Thanks Google!
Go get the update: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en
Some ROM have the stock keyb modified so that numbers and symbols are shown along with aplha keys and can be typed by long-pressing the keys.
Is it available as a standalone apk/zip ? I hate having to switch to numeric/symbol kb mode just to get a number/symbol entered into a password field etc.
What language are you using?
I noticed on stock keyboard when keyboard language is set to English you get quick symbol on keyboard. But when I set it to French there aren't any symbols.
English/US
Since I got the N10, I tied 3 different ROMs - 2 didn't have this convenience feature in their keyboard and one did ...

Go to Settings/Language & input and then touch the settings Sliders next to ‘Android keyboard.’ Next, touch ‘Advanced settings’ and touch ‘Custom input styles.’ It will say Deutsch and Francais, but you can ignore that. Touch ‘Add Style’ near the upper right. Then select your language and change the layout from QWERTY to ‘PC’ or one of the other styles. Now touch ‘Add’ and you’ll see your new style appear in the list. Touch ‘Enable’ and use the back key to go back to the Language & input screen. Now touch ‘Input languages’ near the top and uncheck ‘Use system language.’ Lastly, touch ‘English (US) (PC)’ and you’re done.

hello, its been a lot while since i login and come to xda, im here when i have o2 windows "mobile" 6/6.5, now i am an android user, using sony xperia z with 4.3
enough with introduction, as the title said, i have problem about the google voice (GV for now) and keyboard, im not the same as everybody with missing GVT or wanting to disable it, i actually like it a lot, especially because it support my language (not english).
using voice input is easy:
1. i press the GV icon
2. i talk
3. text coming out, there will be miss typed/heard sentences
4. you know, if the system doubt your speech and want to correct it, you just tap the word with grey underline,it indicating that it have multiple option
5. then you choose the correct sentences
sadly, my step number 4 is a problem, because the correction that pop up to correcting/delete sentences is being blocked by keyboard, that is why i say it also a keyboard problem. so i cannot choose anything from it. and i have this problem since 4.2.2, the first day i upgraded it to 4.3 is okay, but suddenly it happen again. i don't think i will resetting or formatting because i have a lot of app and chat history that i cannot delete
and lastly, what do you called that correction feature? because i search over internet and i cannot find someone with this problem, possibly i don't use the correct keyword.
here is the screenshot and i highlighted the point of this thread with red in case you want to skip reading.
