Does Android limit the rate of keystrokes when typing?
I have a custom bluetooth keyboard that can send entire sentences at once. On iOS, the text appears pretty much instantaneously. On Android, when I send the sentence it kinds of scrolls through and types it out, taking about a second to actually type out the entire sentence.
Sorry if this is confusing, basically instead of typing out the entire sentence at once, the text is entered one letter at a time with a little delay in between.
Is there a way to disable this keystroke limit? I would like to be able to type entire sentences quickly. Thanks!

Its more like a rom problem or maybe browser. Try touchpal keyboard and opera web browser as combo.

I have just upgraded to a ROM without the 'Letter Recognition' input method.
Is it possible to install the 'Letter Recognition' function via cab file? If so, where can I find the required file?
Thks.
do you really miss it?
Its so arse!, It recognises about a third of what I write, and even then you....have...to.....write....really....clearly....and.....slowly. and by the time you've effed and blinded about trying to write "Hi Mum" you could have written the whole message in half the time.
That's not true ... I use letter recognition allways and i write far faster than with the extremely small and useless keyboard.... At first is a little difficult ... but then when u learn how to write correctly ... and how and where to write special characters ... is far faster in any case ... I can write more or less at same speed as if i where writing in a real paper with a real pen ...
The problem comes when the way u usually writes is far different than a "computer" leter ...
See U !
Aye, im sure you're right.
I gave it a week of practicing but to no avail. It was still tediously slow. I find with a nice T9 Keypad plugin my fingers whizz away way faster than if I use the stylus, plus you can text on the move rather than scribbling away with a little pen and trying to dodge the dog poop and pedestrians.
I Use the letter recognises, exrtensively, only two drawbacks
a) Scratches on the Screen
b) Now I am so used to writing with using the special symbols for letters, I write the same way even on paper...
I like the predicitive text on the QWERTY keyboard, the eris feature where alternatives are shown for typed words, presenting an opportunity to choose the correct word. I enjoy using this when doing IMs in Google Talk, for example. This feature seems to be disabled in the default web browser on the eris, in 1.5 before, now in 2.1. The predictive text does not work in the search bar and it does not work in data entry fields in forms displayed by the browser, for example
Can anyone please tell me how one would enable this predictive text input in all apps on the phone? including the search bar for webkit and data entry on web forms?
<see last post for solution>
There is probably a good technical reason for this, like somehow the input method is not known to the web browser application. Perhaps the browser itself is not consulting a system table for availability of this input method at run time. Maybe it only happens at install time? Is there some manual change that could be made to enable this?
I think they disabled it in browser because a lot of websites have names that the predictive text obviously doesnt know and when you type fast and hit space quickly it auto selects words which Id imagine could be quite a pain in the ass online.

Thanks, You are right. I agree as to why they disabled it, but i think the way the feature works, it would really be more benefit to me than a hindrance.
1) Adding a mispelled word or one not in the dictionary is painless, editing this dictionary in the settings is easy too.
2) For activities like retyping stuff (like my email address) in data entry fields in the browser over & over; this would be much better with the ability to spell-check and remember words, especially when accuracy is critical.
I want predictive text in the browser. Why not a voice input option (like in the voice search applet) as well?
Can someone help at least give me the choice, I think these two input methods work very well.
Solved - 2.1 enhanced HTC keyboard, with voice too! - link
This pretty much gives you voice and predictive text wherever you want it without sacrificing anything:
nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-full-voice-to-text-to-htc-desire/
Followed the "HTC Sense Style Keyboard Instructions"
Instructions were for HTC desire but this worked fine on stock OTA 2.1 Eris, not rooted.
HTC_IME_lo_25.apk is the one that installed okay for me. I was half-asleep at the time and I think the other version did not install right, but you might want to try again.
Enjoy!
First time android user so I don't really know if it's me or the phone, but for some reason whenever I'm midway through a sentence and type "its", it automatically corrects it to "It's" with a capitalized "I", even if it's not at the beginning of the sentence. I then have to select "its" from the recommended words instead which ends up not adding an apostrophe.
The same thing happens when typing "i", sometimes it auto-capitalizes it and other times it doesn't no matter where I type it in the sentence. Neither of these are in my user dictionary, and adding them doesn't change anything either.
Anyone have an idea of what might be going on? This is with touch input btw since I'm not a fan of swype just yet.
Hello!
Sorry if this is asked/answered, search isn't working on my phone.
Is there any way to change just the text field editing interface on the sgs2? cyanogenmod seems to have it down pretty well but the stock Samsung one that appears in practically all the ROMs I've tried is absolutely pathetic. If anyone is confused about what I mean, I mean selecting words, highlighting words, copying and pasting words, the little text selection arrows etc. It is frustratingly incompetent ATM and is making me want to throw my phone at a wall.
Its the one main thing that bothers me about Android, iOS has this perfectly sorted.
Most of the time now I have to write my emails/forum posts/Facebook posts etc (ie anything with multiple lines of text) in a notepad type program and copy and paste it over, as trying to select a sole word in the middle of many in a websites text field (or similar) is quite literally impossible.
Someone help me, it is driving me insane.
Thank you.
Is there seriously nothing that can be done about this?
I find that quite hard to believe..
I am sure that this is just a dumb Noob question but I cannot figure it out. Sometimes when I need to enter text in an app, I get a keyboard that shows only text characters. If I need something like an @ or even a ".", I have to access that part of the keyboard. When entering email address this can be a pain.
Other times, for no reason that is apparent to me, I get a more functional keyboard that includes things like @ and .com along with some other useful characters.
Why do I get different keyboards from time to time? Is there any way to lock in the more useful keyboard that includes the often used characters or phrases?
Thanks in advance.
Bob
