I have a problem with my Vibrant that drives me crazy! I have a rooted Vibrant with the 2.2 update. Here's what's up:
If I am typing a text to someone and type "yu" instead of "you" it changes "yu" to "Yu", as if I was saying an Asian name. I want it to change "yu" to "you"...how do I do this? There is no user dictionary option on the Vibrant so I downloaded one off the market but it was no help.
Thanks!

I asume you are using swype . To remove a word double tap the incorrect word then spell out the word you actually want . Next time it should use the correct word.

I am not using Swype...I'm using the Android keyboard. I tried what you said but there is no way to double tap the word...long tapping saves it, and double tapping doesnt work because the first tap puts the word into the text field.
Anyone else have a suggestion!?!?

Swype has always frustrated me, when you need to move forwards and backwards much in a text field, it is difficult to do with your finger and I could not find anything to help in swype.
All I had to do was hit the bottom left swype button and then slide to the symbol key right next to it. BAM, there it is. It's probably most helpful for copy and paste and some other situations where you just can't move the cursor with your finger.
Just an fyi, and also wondering if this was already common knowledge?

I wouldn't call it common knowledge, but it's been known for a while. I found out about it in a tips and tricks thread somewhere.
Also, try the same thing, but slide to "f" instead of "sym" to pull up a number pad

Are there more shortcuts?
-swype key then symbol key
-swype key then f
...more?

also, in 2.2, in text entry fields, if you tap the field a movable cursor shows up that you can slide left and right.
A lot of tips like these are in the General Sticky....
that said, I do not know if its a shortcut, but I love going from the apostrophe to "s".... I can type words like "what" and then with that gesture quickly make is "what's"
also, if "bump" from one letter to the next it helps swype identify the letter you are really going for (ie, you go across a row and there could be a few correct letters).
I take it that none of you had ever done the tutorial with swype on your phone...

Swype > F is the only one from this thread that is not on there.. and that is not all that much needed from using the other number pad.
Swype -> q switches it to AZERTY. It doesn't switch it back. Pretty useless.
These Swype shortcuts are all on the Swype website lol

To switch back, press and hold the top-left button (where Q used to be) and choose U.S. English. If you've picked Korean by accident, press and hold where the A button was to switch back to English.

I am surprised to find Spell Checker absent on my Galaxy s3 inspite of it being ICS.
I have been using ICS on HTC sensation before this phone and have gotten use to the automatic spell check in ICS which underlines in red the wrongly spelled words. Pressing these gives you options to correct it with suggestions or to add to dictionary.
Any one found a solution for this yet?

If you have not already found it .
as above then >> Predictive Text >>>Spell correction .
If not then its your phone or your firmware at fault .

Got the same problem here. I really liked the red underlined misspelled words on my Galaxy S with stock ICS. Why did Samsung remove this feature?
It is on mine under Settings, Language and Input, Samsung Keyboard Settings (the gear icon on the right hand side), Predictive Text. Can you select Predictive Text by tapping on the word?
Tapped
Mine wont do it either....
Does anyone get a red line under misspelled words?
It seems that word correction only appears in the voice dictate mode on S3. I have predictive text enabled, but don't get the misspelled words underlined
I would donate to get this fixed on a non rooted g3

if this helped please hit the thanks button below enjoy the SIII !
Was able to find the keyboard and install it however it didn't underline the misspelled words on the S3 as advertised in the hype around the keyboard. I that because that feature is turned off in the ROM?

Oh no. My bad . I didnt realize that the red line doesn't show up when we spelt something wrongly. I saw that words were being underlined and suggestions was given. I assume it was all working. Sorry bro

anyone? starting to miss my S1 with cm9
I have a Nexus 4 running stock 4.2.1 (rooted) and here is my issue with the gesture typing and predictive text. Anytime I try to use a word that google apparently believes is not appropriate like "****" I have to stop and and type it out. Mind you that spell check does not think it's a misspelled word so there is no option to add it to the User Dictionary. It just will not show up as an option for either predictive text or gesture typing. Obviously these words have somehow been identified in google's stock dictionary so that they are not part of the pool of suggested words - probably along the lines of how the auto-complete of google searches are now censored.
Does anybody have a workaround for this? It's incredibly annoying and I don't like the fact that google is dictating what standard English words can and cannot be part of gesture typing.
One thought I had was that the stock dictionary probably has those words marked with a simple boolean flag, so if somebody knew how to access the dictionary and reset that flag, the problem would be solved. I don't know much about android development but this can't be too hard. If I had the time I'd undertake the project myself.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hey yeah I had the same problem... It's stupid that they blocked swear words... The only thing I figured out to get past it is that if you type in any word that isn't in the dictionary and select to add it you can type in anything you want, before confirming adding the word, including swear words and then you can type them with gesture typing. At least it works on my rooted Verizon galaxy nexus running jb 4.2.1 sorcery v4... Peace...

How do you add words to the dictionary? I'm very Android literate, and have been using Swype for a long time. The problem I have is that sometimes when I press on a word that it suggests, but doesn't recognize, it will give me the option to add it to the dictionary. Other times it will bring a box up above the word with several suggestions. It seems erratic and not very consistent.

Settings >> language and input >> Personal dictionary and then add in whatever swears/words you want and it'll work when using the gesture typing. At least it works for me.
Thanks for the reply.
Anyone else having problems since it became a paid app with it lagging a decent amount of time upon opening?

ok, so i'm assuming that youre using the stock keyboard, right? ok, the go to settings/language&keyboard/HTC sense input/advanced/check word prediction. if it's not checked and grayed out, that means that you have the trace feature turned on from the previous menu. turn off trace and then the word prediction will be available. hope this helps
When I type text, the keyboard automatically loads one of the three suggested words on top of keyboard (usually the wrong one of course) into my text making typing a real pain in the rear.
How do I get rid of these suggested words?
It usually loads the center word. The left hand word is usually the one I want.
Also the "word prediction" field in the settings area is dimmed meaning I have no access to green check mark.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, why do the "image verification" letters in this forum have to be so blurry? I have to reselect numerous times before I get one I can read.
You could try another third party keyboard. I hate the stock keyboard so I got swift key and have been using it for 2 years. You could try it out I really enjoy it and if you like it, but it will fix your issue your having with the stock one.

You can touch the word you want and it will fill it in to what you are typing. Also under Settings/Language&Keyboard/HTC Sense Input/Advanced you can only turn off word prediction if you uncheck trace keyboard.
Swift key app
Purchased swift key app.
Works great!
Thanks
