After updating to ICS LPQ I cannot change keyboards by a long press. Does anyone have a fix? I have reinstalled twice but that does not fix the problem.
as soon as i select a text box , in the top corner a tiny keyboard appears where i can switch input methods , i dont know if this is what you are referring to

Hi dual-owners,
Anyone has a problem where when typing using the keypad (slideout keypad) you cant use the navigate button (left/right) to select the predictive word options.
U will need to touch the word option instead.
I think there was only one time where I could successfully use the navigation to select the words when typing?
Is this a common problem??
Thanks

Not me. I always navigate right and left with the button... Have you tried a soft-reset?
still a problem
Yes Sir,
I tried many soft resets - seemed weird at 1st but thought thats the best they (HTC)could do with a slide out keypad.
The navigation button to select word option works when ur not using the keypad (slid back in) but once u start to use it - the navigation button just wont work for me. have to reach up and select a tiny word option (which most of the time i miss) ..
This is my 1st PPC (sold my slow n95) and i love it except for this little annoyance + no wifi
So fellow PPC owners- if anyone has a solution i'll be grateful.
cheers
try hard resetting your device, (note not a soft reset.)
as it works fine on my orange branded touch dual.
it could be related to the operator rom that is on it, but i wouldn;t expect so.
Hi there,
I also have the same problem.
I also tried many soft reset but is the same.
I found PQz II Keyboard has an issue with this problem.
After uninstalling it, actually I had a hard reset and then install software one by one, the problem has gone.
Hope this help.
Yup thanks! all!
Did a hard reset and everything is back to normal (all workin fine now)- oh yeah the blank notification thingy is also gone -
Be AWARE: prior to hard reset make sure ur files in the storage arent encrypted and at least back em up somewhere. Cause my files (pics and music etc) became unreadable after the hard reset . (this is due to the encryption key that was auto-set by the phoneware on my "phone-state" prior to hard reset.)
Cheers
Hi, I'm not sure if I have an issue, or am just being dense.
I cannot work out how to select/copy/cut text on my GS2. I am on 4.0.3 XXLPB with Simplistic ROM RC7. I also am using Swiftkey X, however the same thing happens with the stock keyboard.
On GB if I tapped the cursor the little menu came up asking if I wanted to select a word or all text. Now I just get a menu with 'paste' and 'clipboard'. Tapping the menu softkey does nothing.
Can anyone help?
In ICS 4.0.3 stock kernel... a long press of the text brings up the choices in the top notification area... e.g Tick is for selecting text...there is also an option to share it... etc etc
Hmm that doesn't happen on this rom unfortunately. I'd ask a question in the rom thread, but I'm not allowed to yet

Hi,
I have the same problem - after upgrade to ICS 4.0.3 select/copy/paste functions are not availabe.
could you share how did you solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
same problem, my version is XXLPS and using swift key
It only shows paste and clipboard. no option to select text...
You just need to double tap on any word and it will give you the option to select, also it will display a ribbon on the top with the copy/cut option
I'm really liking the Voice to Text (VTT) input that came with the ICS leak, and find that it works pretty well. The problem is that when I change to a different keyboard, the VTT changes. I've tried a couple of different keyboards, and they both seem to have different versions of the VTT.
On Swype beta, I've dug through the settings, but cannot seem to find anywhere to select which VTT system to use.
The only real issue I've got with the stock keyboard is that I would like to shorten the time before the alternate character is selected when long pressing a key.
If anyone has any ideas, or maybe another keyboard that uses the stock ICS VTT I'd appreciate it.
I've tried swiftkeyx, betterkeyboard, swype with no luck.
Another thing about the ICS leak that I've noticed is that you cannot press and hold over text and get that magnifying glass to place your cursor in a particular spot. Any fix for this?
Yeah, I'm replying to my own post...
The way to use the stock Google Voice Input when using an alternate keyboard is to pull down the notification bar when you are in a text input area. You should see a little keyboard icon up there, and when you pull it down, choose "Select Input Method" and choose "Google Voice Input". This only changes it for the time being, and doesn't change it system wide.
Now can anybody answer my other question below?

Hello People,
I would like to know how to swiftly change the input method without going to settings?
(Yes, I have searched and there is another similar thread here. I tried that method but it doesn't work).
I have Swype Beta (the new one) and SwiftKey3 along with the original android keyboards / input options..
So one way to change is to go to the settings and change the input method from there.
But I would like to know if there is a way to quickly change without going to settings? Say, from the SMS window or the browser text input field etc...
Previously I remember the long press on the text input field used to bring up input options - But nothing happens now when long pressing.
Another thing - I do see this keyboard icon in the notifications bar on the top but when I click on that the pop up window with the different input options just blinks and disappears. It doesn't stay and let me chose an input option.
So can someone please tell me how to get this done?
Thanks in advance.. Cheers.
If you're on ICS, by default you get a notification to select input method whenever you use your keyboard (the one you mention in your post). It worked fine for me in stock ROMs and it's currently working fine for me with CM9.

I 'see' the notification at the top in the notification bar but when I pull the bar down and click on 'select input method', there is a pop up window that pop's up and disappears almost the next millisecond.. So basically it just blinks.. So at the moment, the only way I can change the input method is by going through the settings... So basically I can't do anything with that notification at the top....
I don't know if this is some issue with Go Launcher and pop up window / notification settings (I am trying to check from that perspective as well as posted a link to this thread in the official Go Launcher thread here on XDA)..
Update:
I have tried to remove Swype Beta and SwiftKey 3.. but still the problem remains! The pop up window (brought up by clicking the select input method notification) doesn't stay..
I have no idea where the problem lies.. It would be nice if someone can help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.
Edit
Please see here
The issue was because of Go Launcher!!
Hi
Since upgrading to jellybean ive noticed a small flaw in the search from keyboard.
Basically on ICS if i just tapped away on the keyboard it would automatically bring up the search.
For example without pressing the search button, if I just typed ANDROID, it would appear normally in the search field.
Now with JB if I type ANDROID, the A ends up at the end, it's almost like the cursor skips back. So as soon as I enter the "A" the cursor then shifts left and as I continue typing it ends up like this NDROIDA
It's a real pain, as I loved the keyboard search the way it was, does anyone have anyidea on how to clear this or am i the only person who this seems to effect.
Many thanks
