Whats up everyone ok here is my problem.
When I click in a text box, the onscreen keyboard pops up even when I have the dock attached. Is there a fix for this?
Previous versions of Cyanogenmod had the swipe option (NOT on the lockscreen) to open programs. For example, I could swipe up to open the browser or swipe down to open Facebook. Does this option exist or has it been omitted in CM9?
I use my Prime for work and do allot of typing so this got very annoying very fast I have to constantly be taking down the on screen keyboard.
The last thing I noticed the screen doesnt orient to the portait mode.
I have posted in the Cyanogen Mod Forum two weeks ago and have yet to get a reply so I figured I would post here to try and get some answers. I really dont understand why none of the mods or anyone else have not posted any replys what so ever the forum look like its dead.

Install Null Keyboard if you don't want to see the onscreen keyboard while the dock is attached.

Thanks that finally worked but one thing I dont like about the app it has a warning when you turn it on saying that it will collect all data entered in the keyboard.
I also posted on here to see if anyone had any idea of any updates from CM9 to fix this and also wanted to know about the swipe which CM usually was putting into their roms thanks.

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.
Thats my question It happens here on xda for example. You're writing something and all of a sudden the cursor is on the first line at the beginning ofthe post.
Is there a way to prevent that from happening? Btw it also happens if you disable the trackpad, so its not due to accidentally hitting it while typing. Maybe its a problem with the browser? Gonna test it on opera now.
Just writing this post to test if it still happens with the ICS+ browser. I really like the look and feel of the stock browser especially with the keyboard shortcuts, its just awesome to switch through the tabs for example.
So far so good didnt jump and just seems more stable on a first look. Gonne be using this for a while and keep you updated.
Maybe it's because the touch pad doesn't disable while you are typing (palm check) and you are accidentally bumping your palm on it. Try disabling the touch pad while you type and see if that works.

But thx for your post anyway.
Btw it also happens on the ICS+ browser Guess i'll have to wait for an update then. Or the keyboard shortcuts being implemented on another browser.
Sorry for reviving my old thread, but this is still a major annoyance when writing forum posts and stuff...
Definately would be nice to get a fix for that!
[e] as usual i find a solution or a workaround right after posting a problem Using chrome beta since half an hour and made several posts, cursor never jumped to first line.
Now all they have to do is improve the keyboard shortcuts on the browser and enable flash support and gestures like on ICS+. I'm so used to go back/forward with swipes i cant live without them anymore :/
Chrome Browser did NOT solve this for me
This has been one of the biggest annoyances I have had with the Prime, and it happens to me on ALL browsers: Opera, ICS ++, Dolphin, Boat, you name it. It is so freaking annoying that I often switch to my PC when on XDA and typing responses.... Its any type of text box on a web platform in my case. I will be mid-stream typing, and all of a sudden I am at the top, in the first character position.
Annoying as ****! (I might have mentioned that)
It's ICS related, not Prime. Happens on my Galaxy Nexus too. PITA.
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 ...
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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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!

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 installed v1.8 of Shostock3 this morning -- did a full,wipe coming from v1.7. All seemed to be fine until I got a text. When I tapped to type, a new keyboard popped up -- one that I don't recognize. It's kind of a floating keyboard with a tab at the top that allows you to move it around. Unfortunately, the keyboard takes up a lot of screen real estate so it usually covers the input box so you can't see what you're typing. Also, the sym/123 keyboard is really different -- it doesnt show the numbers at all and has really big keys with symbols on them. Can anyone tell me what I have done to get this new keyboard? Is it an upgrade in 1.8? Is there anyway to go back to the one I had in 1.7? I have searched -- seems I'm the only lucky one with this keyboard? Any help would be appreciated.
