[Q] Google Docs - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, the docs app has recently had an update to make it much more tablet friendly.... Apparently
But I have a question, how on earth are you supposed to edit / add text to a document?
Ive watched a youtube vid of some guy with an original g tab 7, and the old version of docs, and there is a simple edit button nice and prominent.... Not so on my tab 10.1
It seems most locical to me to just tap the document in the hope that the on screen keyboard pops up and I can start typing away, but no such luck, no keyboard at all.
Anyone have the same problem?

Hi
Just checked on my GT and it worked as supposed to. I've tapped the document and the keyboard has popped up. Was able to edit the text with no problems.
Try to re-install the app maybe this will help

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Or try just clearing the cache for the app.

Hmmm, ive cleared the cache, cleared the data, uninstalled and reinstalled and still I cant get the keyboard to come up. The only time I can get the keyboard is when you can send messages to others viewing the document.
I cant think what else may cause this, but its very annoying.
Im on the stock rom, rooted, and the only mod I have made is to keep the browser in desktop user agent mode (as described in the dev forum)
My input method is swype, however ive cycled through all the others and it makes no difference

I got it figured out, I restored to before I did the user agent mod, and editing works. I like the view much better on the desktop UA though

Typing words, hit space bar, words disappear

I kinda feel dumb cuz I don't know if its actually something in predictive text settings I'm just missing or what. The problem is when I'm typing something in, primarily notice it in browser searching, I'll type words, then space bar, then word, space bar, etc etc. However, about 50% of the time, when I hit the space bar, it just deletes out the word I just typed and inserts another space. Last night I was trying to search "Galaxy S3 tips and tricks" and the whole thing came out "Galaxy S3[space][space][space]. WTF is going on here? Are others experiencing this at all? Its soooooo annoying.
FYI, it doesn't do it at all when typing out text messages so I'm wondering if it is something to do with browser or what. I tried clearing Samsung Keyboard cache and data and it worked for a bit, then started doing it again.
I think its definately keyboard related cuz if I switch and use a different keyboard, the issues disappear

I had this issue using the last version of Swype - Using the latest beta seems to have fixed it though.

I signed up for the beta on the Swype website, but a little confused as to how to really get my hands on the beta. Am I waiting for something to show up in my in-box or am I missing a link somewhere?
I believe you have to wait until the folks at Swype send you an email inviting you to the beta. IIRC it took about three days for mine to arrive when I signed up a year or so ago.
This and the copy paste issue is driving me nuts. How can they have such buggery on the shelves? I won't post off topic (not that I could copy/paste the link to that thread here anyway).
So my only option is beta, some pokey free or costly 3rd party keyboard app? Google tells me that, as these keyboards require internet access, I'm at risk of key logging activity due to the combination of permissions they require.

[Q] Jelly Bean donwnload notifications won't go away

Hello,
My wife's Galaxy S3 just got updated to Jelly Bean and an very annoying issue has started to occur: download finished notifications of all files that have ever been downloaded on the device (I assume, there's a ton of them) have appeared in the drop down bar. If I press clear all they disappear, but reappear after a short while.
Any idea what's wrong and how can it be fixed?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hiya mate, I've updated my S3 only moments ago and the same problem occurred on my phone. So I did as what you did and searched Google but nothing came up so I tried a few differebt things, including delete a few pictures I didn't need and taking out my SD card and evening stopping a few applications through the app manager but none of them worked. I then proceeded to go on Facebook on my phone and I saw a pic I found funny so I downloaded and the bright idea came from that. Would deleting my download history work and thankfully it did. To do this, click on your app button and the download app should be on the first screen, click on it and delete everything that is in the two tabs. If this doesn't work then I'm sorry but I don't know what else to try. I would provide pics of where the download app is what to delete but I'm on my phone at the moment and navigating on this page is so hard due to it not being mobile friendly.
IT WORKS!

Google keyboard issue

After the latest update, it seems like "Touch to save" option has disappeared in Google keyboard. This really makes the process of saving new words to the dictionary painful. We need to select the word click on Add to dictionary and then Ok to save any new word which is a tiresome process.
If anyone had found an easier way to save new words to the Google keyboard dictionary easily, please post that solution here. By the way, double clicking the word also doesn't work. My device is moto g and I believe this is a common issue for any device.
No answers at all? I thought I'll get help on xda
Same here CM 12.1
I too am getting this issue plus I cannot even sync my personal dictionary from the other mobile. Had loads of words saved there. Plus, the AOSP keyboard is doing the same, nothing. Wonder when will it fix. Is it just an installation problem?
Okay, so its been months and I don't think things would go good. The only thing I could do was to install SwiftKey and so far, the experience has not been disappointing, great actually. It does all that Google keyboard does (and did),and more .

It syncs properly now on Google keyboard. You need to goto settings and enable sync.

Sometimes, when the keyboard can't find internet connection your words will not appear in the suggestions. I think this happens because all the words are in cloud not on the phone itself.
Well, my phone is almost always connected to the internet, so that should not be a problem. Anyways, I haven't tried the latest, GBoard, so I can't really say if it has been fixed.

Media Scroll

Hi all. Media scroll stopped working. Don't know what I did. How can I restart it?
Same thing happened to me. I tried everything to get it working again. Can someone lend a hand on how to fix? Thanks

what exactly are you referring to 'media scroll'
in a specific program/app?
front home menu?
need a tad more info...
Hi please help. I have an app called media scroll on my huge Samsung view tablet. I was having trouble changing the apps on it. (When you slide left from your main home page you open media scroll) anyway I uninstalled the app but now I can’t find how to reinstall it again. Please help me. The app icon is black with a purple/blue arrow kind of like the play store icon
mediascoll seems to be a front end app that is used on the ATT GV but is a in the background working app, one that holds no options at least on ATT version.
Have you tried a factory reset?
