Anyone else know the deal with the constant "select input method" notifications with the little keyboard symbol in the notifications bar? Did I read somewhere that its connected to the strange system app with the Asian characters followed by version 4.0.3-2.3.9?? Don't want to uninstall it if it shouldn't be.
It only happens when your keyboard is up right? I'm pretty sure that's just a ICS feature. I think it only pops up when you have multiple keyboards active.

Hey FC. Yeah, that seems to be the case right now with MIUI .23. But when I posted this topic it was more persistent. I can live with it now though.
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.
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.

Hi all,
I installed the latest official firmware from Samsung which was rolled out officially in Spain, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share two things that bother me:
1.) Lock screen shortcuts: any shortcut app on the lock screen (e. g. camera, flash light) still asks for the PIN. I thought the idea of the shortcuts was to avoid having to type in the PIN for non-security-related apps ...
2.) Keyboard language switching: the space bar wiping for switching the language is really nice, BUT: voice typing does not use the same language as the one specified for typing! When I go to voice typing, even worse, I have to select the language I want to dictate two times, the first time will not be recognized!
Ok, hopefully I am wrong but I rather doubt it... if anybody can confirm these things please let me know!

Well....lockscreen freeze on leak jb, that's a bug.
Shortcuts: PIN code selected as lockscreen security? If so, make sense that it'll prompt.
KB language: Got no idea, never used it.

If it's not a bug, what is the benefit? Suppose I have the flashlight app on my homescreen. If I want to access it I have to do:
- enter PIN
- tap on the icon
Now, with the great new lockscreen shortcuts, I do:
- tap on the icon
- enter the PIN
What's the benefit of the lock screen shortcuts, anyone?
What's the benefit of setting your lockscreen to ask you for a PIN number?
So that people can't access to your device.
Shorcuts play the same role.

Yes, the benefit of the PIN is security. I did not understand the rest of your answer.
As far as I understand, the widgets and shortcuts on the lock screen of the pure Android Jelly Bean, as it is installed on the Nexus 4, is the following: you can access some applications even without entering your PIN. This makes totally sense for some non-security related applications like the flashlight, or the music player. In the Samsung Jelly Bean adoption, I still have to enter the PIN code - so what's the sense of the shortcut then?
If something is not working as it is intended it is a bug. To me, this is a bug. Where can I file a bug report for the Samsung Jelly Bean?

On htc sense is the same. Has been since 2011 on Sense 3.
It's not a bug. No point reporting it, it makes sense, why would you set a password but apps can be opened from shortcuts?

So, what's the point of the shortcuts then? I don't see why it is faster to first press the icon and then enter the PIN, compared to first entering the PIN and then pressing the icon.
So you don't want anyone that hasn't your PIN code to use your phone, but you also don't mind them using whatever apps you got shorcuted on your lockscreen?
That's how you want your phone's security to work?

Galaxy S2 Omega v19.2 FC during charge
Hi all,
I have just installed the omega v19.2 rom and found a bug. If I put the USB cable to the phone (charger or my PC, does not matter) and let it switch off itself automatically, then I can not switch on the device again, have to pull out the battery and restart again. If I switch off the screen with the power button during charging than it does not freeze, i can switch it on again. Any solution?

No idea. Check the omega thread, I'm sure they'll tell you.

OK, using hyper drive latest ROM. When going into settings and trying to switch default keyboard, it will not let me change it to anything other than the default Google keyboard even though I have swift key, kii, fleksy all checked. When it brings up the list of choices, I hit the dot to select a different keyboard and it immediately defaults to Google and won't allow any other choice. Anyone had any issues changing keyboards?

It would be helpful to the community if you posted the corrective action, just in case someone else with a similar issue comes across this thread.
