Anyone know how to get rid of it from showing?
Ive spent hours trying to figure it out, so annnnoyed
Supposedly it's part of the "ease of use" in ICS, as people apparently were too stupid to long-press the text box before. I'm hoping for a fix for it too though, since it's pretty pointless (could be moved back into the long-press menu hopefully).

Damn stupid people gotta ruin it for us.... Thx for the info.
I got no keyboard icon left.
But dont remember which of these deleted it.
1. ICS system ui? Click here
2. Delete talkback and all those?
Quick search of XDA and im not he only one with this problem.
Any chance of a fix or instructions i can try? Im on LP9 VK ROm.
Technically it's not a problem... just an esthetic you don't like.
Suppose someone will come up with a removal (if it isn't available yet), but I haven't noticed one yet.
Might have to do with keyboard you're using though. Have you tried another to see if it still shows?
Mine only shows when actually using the keyboard to type, otherwise not there.
Agreed. Just a visual annoyance, popping up everytime i type.
Installed Swype via the beta installer and that triggered it.
I think Wanam can help you !
Try to send him a message
that icon is in the systemUI I think, what is not, if you can remove ...

Hey guys,
Any idea why the keyboard icon sometimes appear on the bottom of my CHT lockscreen? I does not happen on regular basis but it is a bit annoying because it's actually a working button that can be accidentally activated by movement.
I have experienced this on three different ROMs so far. Elegancia and Omega v21 & 22.
And it also looks awful on such tuned-up picture I've got there...
Thanks!
happens to me (and i use the default windows lockscreen.) haven't figured out a solution. tis quite annoying.
I have a feeling that it only appears when there's an app in memory that uses the keyboard. Like email or messaging client and others... I'll give it further testing!
I agree, this is frustrating to deal with. Has anyone found a solution?
i forget what its called exactly, not using winmo, but if you turn off the CHT custom softkeys i think that fixes the unlocked bottom part of lockscreen.
I have seen it very very few times using PocketShield. You might want to try it.
I think everyone gets this........ seems to happen every other time I wake up my phone, gotten so used to it its not even an issue anymore....
First, I'd like to say a huge thanks to the developers on XDA for everything you've done for my wife's new Nook Tablet and my old HTC Hero CDMA that's now running ICS (you rock jaybob)! You guys are all awesome!
On to my problems...
First, rooted the wife's Nook Tablet, did the partial debloat (worked flawlessly Indirect, after I fixed a driver issue on my end...had to uninstall it and grab it to install the proper drivers before it installed the usb mass storage device driver, otherwise ADB wouldn't see it).
All the B&N stuff is there and using Go Launcher on the "android" side. Here's my first issue...some menus (Beautiful Widgets & Astro File Manager to name a few) and a few other random apps have white text on the menu making it essentially impossible to read what that option is. I played around a little with the Go Launcher settings, but can't find anything to darken the text. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Second, wife doesn't like the stock android keyboard because each letter you press the preview of that character pops up right above it. I know it's a throwback to when you had small screens and it's just a confirmation of the letter your pressing, but she finds it very distracting (I don't even notice it! heh heh) Tried installing other keyboards but since there's no way to go to the stock android settings (only goes to nook settings), I can't enable the keyboards. I tried going to the nook hidden settings and selecting a new keyboard from there, but only the "android keyboard" shows up, not the other couple I tried installing.
Last, is there any way to bring up the stock android settings options?
Swore I'd never say this to keep like sounding like a noob instead of just a lurker, but I looked around the forums and didn't see any questions that addressed my "problems" ...so if there are answers to these somewhere, a link would be appreciated.
I have the feeling these are issues that can't be fixed until get access to the bootloader/recovery and get the ability to cook custom ROMs.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The stock android settings menu doesn't exist. Try using the Hidden Settings app to get to the most common settings.
Ahh...that explains it...was looking in the wrong forum! lol I think I was searching my HTC Hero forum since that's where I default to. The keyboard fix worked. Gonna try the menu thing later after I finish reading all the posts.
Hi, I am not sure how else to describe them, there those little grey notifications that apps sometimes splash across the bottom section of the screen. There use seems to be controlled by apps as dont' remember anything phone direct coming up most common one is the one I see about apps getting root access..
My question is simply is there a way to globally turn these off as I dont really like them or care about what they tell me, running miniCM7 2.1.9..

no way to disable atm
but you mean you won't care if the phone says something important like formating sd by error or anything ?
when the phone talks, it's better to read ;-)

Thanks for quick reply, I just find them extra layer of ugly notification if android things something is important that I should be notified why not post a systems notification on status bar but could see how that would also be annoying!

notifs do not splash really, and do not disappear after a certain time, they would be stocked one after the other
this way notifies, and disappears
i don't remember how it is for ICS
in fact i understand your feeling

As title suggests, I updated my phone yesterday. Now, when typing, if I spell something wrong, instead of changing automatically when I press space, it doesnt change the word, even though its highlighted blue. Is this a bug or feature and its very annoying ane may force me to flash back to older version. I cant see any options in the settings menu like before, just new options to sync spelling with facebook and Twitter etc... thanks for help.
Works fine for me
There are no more options anymore in settings for predictive text. You use to be able to edit your own words and specific predictive text data but your cant edit anything now so unsure what to do. Im sure I have read else where others having the same problems?
mine is also doin the same thing. Also noticed it no longer gives you the option to change the full stop to something else without holding
gotta be a bug. why highlight in blue if it no longer has a function anything? This is going to be very annoying.
It's what made me stop using the Samsung keyboard, prediction only seems to work when you use continuous input (swype) but even with that enabled, if you tap out each letter it will not work.
Glad its not just me anyway!
Meh, Android 4.2 keyboard rocks
I like the the way the keyboard behaves now. I can type my words without the auto correcting putting in the wrong words for me inadvertently and not having problems putting in words the the prediction doesn't know about.
I will also confirm that after updating to 4.1.2 stock - the auto-correct/predictive text system in the stock samsung keyboard seems to be no longer functioning correctly.
When typing the words are highlighted in blue however upon hitting space the word isn't corrected

+1. That's the main reason I now use Samsung keyboard. If I want it to auto correct I just select on the word.

never bothered with stock Android keyboards or Samsung's effort at "continuous text input" (well I gave it 5 minutes and kicked it into touch).
There is only one keyboard for continuous text input, and why would you want to tap letters individually any way? - its called Swype...its an absolute MUST.
google it, go to website and download swype beta installer
You guys are right, auto correct has been disabled in 4.1.2. I'm really hoping it's re enabled for the next release because I've never been a fan of aftermarket keyboards. I prefer the stock one. I would downgrade to 4.1.1 but I was getting some bugs on that which have been fixed on 4.1.2. Let's all hope it's re enabled for us!
Same problem here and I hate it. I've now switched to SwiftKey because of it.

Same here. VERY ANNOYING! Why change something fundamental on the keyboard in this way? It's awful.
Regardless of what your keyboard preference is, you become accustomed to using it and it's ways until you can almost type blindfolded. Making changes like this just bugs the hell out of me!
Response from Samsung support in 2 hours :good:
I think I'll be trying Swift Key...
Samsung Support said:
Thank you for contacting Samsung.
I am sorry to hear that you do not like the features on the keypad since the latest update and i can understand it is frustrating.
Regarding your query this is a limitation of the new android version your running. However we always look forward to hearing customer feedback and comments.
I've passed your comments on to various departments who will use them to improve the products and services we offer. Thank you for your input.

I don't think it's anything to do with Android, Mr. Samsung!
Same problem here.

Has there been any update to this or is it still the same? It's so annoying.

did switching over fix your problem??
what other keyboards out there can help fix this bug until next patch?
I've installed the PACman rom to try out, I've plenty of experience with other roms so installation no problem.
My problem comes from one of the features (no idea where it comes from) where I've got a float round semi-transparent blob on the left hand side of the screen which seems related to notifications somehow. It wasn't there initially, I think I pressed something in the notification bar to bring it up.
I find it annoying and gets in the way, but I can't find in the options how to get rid of the wretched thing.
Since I don't know what it's called, searching is pretty much useless. The thread in the development area posts to a place for "new to", however that's a dead link and I can't post anything there to ask or get that corrected since I don't have enough posts.
Can anyone help?
My guess is that it is Halo. Have not tried PAC so can't help u to get rid of it but guess there is a way to turn it off. Good luck
PS. try longpressing it and see if you can delete it.

The above poster is correct, it's called Halo. To delete, double tap but don't let go of the second tap. You can then drag it up, to a red circle at the top of the screen and delete it. There will always be an option to turn it back on, from the notification shade though. That's unless PACman has an option to completely disable it, I know Rootbox does. Watch this video to see what it does/ is intended for, it's more than just a notification manager http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5WljHcOyXs

heyy how is the battery life of the rom and what bugs doest it have?
Thanks
Thanks for the info, I managed to get it turned off again. I'll come back and take a look at it properly later, see if I can get used to it, or find a way of making it more to my liking.
