I search this forum, AT&T Galaxy Note I717 Themes and Apps and did not get any results to this issue, so here it goes...
I can add words to the dictionary, but the dictionary does not hold the words in memory for any length of time. When I am in the app, I long press on a word to add to dictionary and I get the little saved message. However, if I exit out or reboot the phone, it seems to not have the word in the dictionary and I have to add the work again.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there some other process I need to follow?
Thanks in advance.
I add words straight into the keyboard dictionary. I haven't done it from within GoSMS Pro. When I add it in the keyboard dictionary it seems to stay.
I will give it a shot. I am assuming I go for settings, keyboard...

I didn't realize how hard it was to get to till I just looked to type it out
settings - language and keyboard - samsung keyboard - xt9 advanced settings - xt9 my words- settings button then add.
It still does not seem to hold the words added to the dictionary added via both methods. Does it matter using your method words are being added to the Samsung Keyboard and I am using a Go SMS keyboard?
Ahhh. I'm using the Samsung Keyboard which does save my words. I haven't tried the GO SMS Keyboard yet.

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,
On the SGS2, if the Swype dictionary doesn't know a word, you simply type it out as normal, then press space and in the future that word will be saved in the default swype dictionary so you can swipe it the next time.
But sometimes i don't know how to spell a word, so i type it in wrong and Google corrects me, but swype now remembers it. Or I type in an acyonym and now Swypes remember that too.
How can I delete "junk" that I have added to the Swype dictionary through just normal usage? I dont want to switch to Samsung Keyboard everytime I type something I'm not sure of.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Incase you want to make the Swype Dictionary forget a word, simply type out the mispelled word, long tap on it and click "Select Word".
Therafter, click on the Swype Options button on the Keyboard (the one on the bottom left corner). You would get an option asking if you want to delete the word from the swype dictionary. Voila!
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 recently downloaded an APK for AI. Keyboard after which I started having problems. When I press the backspace it uses other keys like. When I press it doesn't delete but instead puts another letter like "p" and happens with other keys too. Also at time I go into settings and press on certain options such as Language & Keyboard it reverts to applications or sound settings. I don't know if this is a virus or anything. Does anyone know at all about something like this.
reckoning the keyboard app to be beta, you should post the issue in relevant forum in the keyboard app site.
Hi guys!
Background: I've been using a Sony Xperia z4 for a few years now for my job. I do a lot of public speaking - and Polaris Office deals with Word documents extremely well. The Xperia died unexpectedly, and I grabbed a Tab s3 - in good part because it was in stock locally, and I needed it for the next day. HOWEVER, I was also looking forward to using the pen to do some last minute editing in Polaris or sending some emails in Gmail. On purchase, the device immediately upgraded to Oreo. (Good ... I guess?)
Problem: As it turns out, I can only use direct pen input in most text fields if I use Samsung's own keyboard. If I switch to Gboard (which I vastly prefer), direct input works in certain fields (like Chrome URLs) - but it doesn't activate in the places I'd like to use it most. Like, when I'd like to edit the body of text in Polaris Office. This is SUPER annoying - makes the pen basically useless.
As best I can tell, I guy asked a similar question in this forum back in September, but didn't get any responses. Do you guys have any insight here?
Work-around
Hey mikesusangray,
Funny enough, I actually ran into the same problem as you since I too vastly prefer Gboard for the majority of text input, but like to use the S-pen when it comes to creative work such as using journey for journaling. After a bit of research, I finally settled on using the pro version of an app called simple keyboard switcher which is available in the play store. I chose this app over other keyboard switchers because the pro version unlocks a nifty feature to shake the device which causes the keyboard switcher to appear on the screen regardless of which app you're in. You can then press it once, select your keyboard, and simply swipe it away to dismiss it to switch keyboards. It's definitely not the best solution since I often find myself shaking my tab s3 like a pissed off infant with a rattle to get the app to activate sometimes when it's not working as flawlessly as it should lol but it works for me personally since it eliminates the hassle of having to dive into the settings menu or pull down the notification panel. As for using the Samsung keyboard for direct input with the pen, I'm currently trying to decide between the device's default keyboard and a discontinued app called "MyScript Stylus Beta" by the creators of the note-taking app Nebo which allows for better texting editing and an overall smoother writing experience in my opinion. If you're interested you can still grab the apk for MyScript Stylus Beta by doing a quick google search and installing it from the Swedish version of the google play store where the app is still live or by grabbing it off of apk mirror. Anyhoo, I hope you find this information helpful.
Cheers!

It turns out Gboard has handwriting built in now. It's just a bit of a hassle to set up first. Here's how to activate it.
How to set up handwriting input on Gboard:
1. Open the Gboard keyboard
2. Press and hold the spacebar until a menu comes up to change keyboard
3. Press "Language Settings"
4. Select your desired language and then choose handwriting as the layout
Done!
You can now switch between the QWERTY Keyboard and Handwriting input by holding down the spacebar on Gboard and selecting either or....I also noticed a PC and Morse code keyboard hidden in there haha you learn something new everyday xD.
Cheers!
