Hi guys,
do any of you know how to disable text underlining while typing anything? (For example writing an SMS). Before 2.1 a used that built-in SE keyboard, which did this as well, but I managed to disable it by disabling word auto-completion (or whatever it's called), but now on 2.1 I'm not able to get rid of it. I don't use that new SE keyboard, I use Smart Keyboard Pro instead, but it seems that it doesn't matter which keyboard I'm currenty using as they all (Androids native, SE, Smart KB Pro) underline the word I'm just typing.
I have tried to google it...without any luck.
Thanks for your answers
Letters Underline while Typing
I too would like to disable whatever setting causes the letters to be underlined while typing words. I have a droid-pro. I have unchecked settings as follows: show suggestions, auto-correct errors, auto-puncturate, auto-capitalization, show suggestions, auto-correct errors, highlight words for the touch keyboard. And I have unchecked settings as follows: auto-replace, auto-cap, auto-punctuate for the device keyboard.
Yet as I type the letters are underlined until a word is formed and the space bar pressed.
Please help! Thanks,

guys, just a little problem:
I downloaded the latest version and, after enabling the keyboard settings menu - language and keyboard,
when I open a text message, and I try to change the input method, nothing shows, I have the ability to change keyboard
always appears the original, I tried to reboot to disable keybord smart, to re-enable it, but nothing,
When I click on "integration method" returns to the screen with the original keyboard, not smart .. Why?
something wrong? well, I looked around, and I have not found anyone with my problem ..
tips?
hello, I have resolved, I was wrong in practice once you've enabled the keyboard settings menu, open a new sms, and hold on "type text here" so you can choose the input method!
Ha just found this thanks my boss has a wildfire and didn't like the standard keyboard and me having a Galaxy S I thought oh thats easy lets get him a new one.
I had the same problem I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to change the default keyboard glad you figured it out I was there for ages.
Maybe its just you and me
Not quite sure how to explain this. But on my bb I could go into the dictionary and add my own words. For example, if I typed na(space) it would automatically come up "sorry not available". Does anyone know.how to do this on an android phone? I tried to find an option on my Samsung fascinate and droid charge, no luck.

Some keyboards allow you to do acronyms like Slide It I think.
Smart Keyboard Pro allows you to do this.

You can add them as you go on swype.
You can add them as you go with the stock keyboard too. As soon as you start typing a down arrow appears. Hit that and at the bottom there is a button that says add word. Or you can you can through the settings menu, language and keyboard, touch input then to personal dictionary.
You guys are misunderstanding... Basically he wants to add shortcuts... For example typing abc I can make it type out "my name is cares"
Ok, so I've been searching around and trying different things but I still cannot get this to work like I expected: how can I use the physical keyboard on my Prime to type accented words without changing the keyboard layout?
On Windows I can get this done easily if I configure my keyboard layout as "US-International" and the input language as "Portuguese (Brazil)" (which is the language I want to type in). This way, when I press the single quote key, for instance, the system waits for the next typed letter to decide what to do: if I type a letter which accepts an accent (such as "a"), Windows will add the letter with the accent (in this case, "á"), otherwise it will just add the single quote.
On my Prime, if I change the default input language of the ASUS keyboard to Portuguese, I am able to type accented words but the keyboard layout is also changed to the Brazilian standard. This causes a problem: the positions of some keys are changed (about 8 of them). I could memorize the new positions of the keys, this would be fine except for the fact that I can't type question marks or slashes with this layout! (at least I didn't find any way to do so)
Then I tried using Swiftkey X, if I choose that as the default input method (with the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary enabled) and type using the physical keyboard I don't even need to type the accents because the auto-correct feature takes care of that for me, this is very good but there are some problems with this method:
- When typing question marks or exclamation points at the end of the sentences, the last word in the sentence ends up getting capitalized since I need to hold the "Shift" key to type those marks (I can work around this problem by typing the word, then a space and then the question mark or exclamation).
- If I need to type a word which is only one accented letter, depending on what the prediction engine does I might have to manually choose the right prediction by touching the screen (it gets the job done, but it's a little annoying). We have a few words like this in Portuguese, such as the word "é" which is used often (it means "is", while the word "e" means "and", that's why the prediction engine might suggest either of them).
Anyway, hopefully you guys understand the problem and have a good suggestion for me.
Currently I think the best solution is to use Swiftkey X and live with the small annoyances I mentioned (I'll e-mail them and maybe suggest they make improvements for this), but does anyone know of any other way I could make the physical keyboard on my Prime behave like the one on my Windows laptop?
Thanks in advance!
I re-posted this on the Q&A section (because that seems to be the correct one), please delete this thread and sorry about that
I don't know if this helps, but in Spanish, if you use a different software keyboard (like Swype, or others), this breaks the configuration of the physical keyboard and you can't use special spanish keys like Ñ. The solution is to root the device and edit a system file.
By the way, my keyboard is localized to spanish language, so I have no problems with it. Is your keyboard localized to portuguese?
Do you mean my physical keyboard? It's the US version, if I try to type "é" like I do in Windows (I type the single quote " ' " and then " e "), I end up getting " 'e ".
If I switch the language of the ASUS keyboard to Portuguese, it works like in Windows but there's the problem of the remapped key layout.
I read about the rooting solution you mentioned, perhaps that might work if I use it with the ASUS keyboard configured for Portuguese, I could change the layout to match that of the US keyboard. Problem is, I just bought the tablet and I'd lose my warranty, or is there a way to unroot it if I needed to?
Maybe you could type those letters by entering their ascii code.
I don't know if there's an unroot method, you should check in the development forums.

That's a good suggestion, but I don't know if it would be too practical since quite a lot of words in portuguese use accented letters, but thanks anyway!
I think I'll root my Prime and then use the ASUS Portuguese keyboard with remapped keys...

As you can see in this video, someone types a sms and sees what he's typing in the textbox obove the flesky input.
youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rxW7021o-Ac
But on my Omate, this textbox is overlapped with the flesky input, so i can't see what i'm typing. In comparison to the video, the upper address/contact box takes more space on my device.
Hiding the spacebar doesn't help either.
Any idea how to solve this issue?
That's known problem...
I saw one picture on G+ where's keyboard in only one row...
Don't know what's the name of that keyboard but try to check on market, maybe you find something.
BTW...for setting TS and all accounts you can use BT keyboard (bluetooth) but, of course, that could be useful only for that - I really doubt you'll take your bt keyboard with you all the time

Try installing Flit keyboard
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.flitkeyboard
Configure it to then have the first keyboard as being small alpha only, then set the second keyboard to be numeric etc....
Should give you some more screen space
I changed the system language to english, so the upper address field uses less space. So I can see the text input box.
It's just a workaround, but I can live with it.
In all other apps I use, the flesky input works fine and no input field is overlapped.
But maybe it would be a good solution if you can select a semi-transparent keyboard. In the flesky option you can select an invisible keyboard, but thats not useful for me.
