Keyboard Disappears when clicking on cursor in internet - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have looked online everywhere and cannot find anything! When on the internet and trying to move the cursor to edit text by clicking on the cursor, the keyboard disappears. Any solutions ? It doesnt happen in the address bar or while texting. Only when on an internet page and clicking on the cursor to move across to the text.

It didn't happen when I was with the orange stock rom as far as I remember. Doesnt happen to my cousin whose on the vodafone stock rom. Only happened when i reflashed with an unbranded official samsung rom. I cant find any fix on the internet!!!! Surely there must be something! Not worth spending money to buy the swift keyboard if it doesn't fix the issue. Very annoying!

This started happening to me as well in the stock browser after I updated to JB from ICS using the official update method, so I'm currently using Chrome or Opera instead until it's fixed...

Selection Tool

Hello, Does anyone know how to get the selection tool during text input? I am using BETA4 and looks like its not linked to the keyboard im using. However i remember that while using stock ROM and SE keyboard i was able to move cursor (actually moving the text and cursor was in the middle )
Regards

Long tap on the text->select text?
I am after a better way of moving/controlling the cursor itself. Like time pointer in new Youtube App. I know Samsung S got sth like this.
Regards
Maybe some keyboards have that option, haven't found it yet.
use swype It has cursor keys etc built in for editing and selection etc
+1. You need to swype from the swype key (bottom left) to the sym key to pop up the direction controls.

[Q]

Hi
I bought optimus one month back, i am really satisfied with the mobile.
My phone is rooted so the first thing i did is i removed Google search toolbar which is a stock app that is present at the homescreen at top.
So its been month and didn't use search button for anything, don't want it to be dormant.
problem with keyboard is that word doesn't start with capital letter after fullstop(.)
I didnt quite get your post. Where is the question?
M using autorotate screen switch on long press of search button
For capital letters problem set auto capitalisation from language and keyboard settings
Thanks

[Q] Browser cursor problem?

I'm running Galaxy Task 14 Slim on my Tab and in the browser (only place where I've noticed it) the cursor (blinking line to input text) won't show up anywhere expect the adress bar. I can still input text but dont see where I'm typing. I'm assuming this is due to the white text field not showing the white cursor. Has anyone else noticed this or has a fix for this problem. I am also using the stock HC keyboard. Thanks!!!
I've noticed the same thing and just never figured it as a "problem".
I use a slide-it keyboard mostly so it happens on other keyboards too.
I only have the cursor not show in some places so it's just those apps with the problem. Like you said white on white is a real possibility.
Thanks for the reply, wanted to make sure it wasn't just me experiencing this. I mean its not a huge deal but its just weird editing text and filling out forms without it.
yeah it's annoying when it happens. find myself clicking in boxes I'm already in. Quite often a few times before I remember the problem. LOL

CM9 Double Keyboard problem

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.

Samsung keyboard case issues

I am trying to use the keyboard case for a lot of text entry, but I find that sometimes it will playup. it will still allow text entry, but when I press the space bar it will skip back to the beginning of the current word before entering the space.
has anybody seen this issue?

Welcome to my world. This seems to be a widely spread issue. It is not clear whether it is cover's issue or the tablet itself. I have sent my cover for replacement, hoping it will fix the problem. However, i do believe that it has to do with the tablet itself. Probably the connector. Try to take to service center if you can. My problem is i have to send it all the way to USA and i am in Europe

Same issue here, hopefully they come up with a fix soon.

I've that issue, too. I found that it has s/th to do with the language settings. If you write a correct spelled word all is ok. If you have spelling mistakes the cursor jumps to the beginning of the wrong written word.
Unfortunately I've no time to discover this further.
Hope s/o comes up with a solution to prevent this annoying behavior.
Do you all use a different software keyboard than the stock Samsung one? I use Swype, and when I connect the keyboard, it acts strangely until I switch it to the Samsung keyboard (search+space on hardware keyboard).

I logged a problem with Samsung. It is a bug in their stock keyboard which you need to use for s-pen functions. They don't seem to be planning to do anything to fix the issue. Using an alternate soft keyboard for when an external keyboard is in use was my only solution
Make sure you all formally lodge the problem with Samsung support.

Ok.. So I downloaded swiftkey app but the problem now is that for some reason I wasn't able to add two languages under this keyboard app for the physical keyboard settings.
Under the physical keyboard settings in samsung I have now 3 languages:
1. samsung keyboard - Hebrew
2. samsung keyboard - English
3. Swiftkey - Hebrew
I want to add Swiftkey - English but wasn't able to do so...
anyone who is using swiftkey with two languages and with physical keyboard?
Nowadays you can see technology will upgrade day by day. If you have this keyboard problem on your tablet, then you should try latest OSU tablet for your work.
