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.

I have a very strange issue: regardless of which browser I use I'm missing check boxes, radio buttons and combo boxes. There is no indication that there is supposed to be an input at all. If I click in the area that you would expect an input to be it seems as if I've clicked something, but there's no indication of the state of the input.
Vegan GB with Dolphin HD. I've tried Firefox,sky fire and the stock browser.
TIA

All of them. For example at the bottom of this reply page there is a 'Post Icons' fieldset filled with radio buttons with pictures beside them. When I look at this page on my gtab none of the radio buttons are there. Same thing happens with checkboxes.
I don't have a tab with me right now to post a screenshot, but that's the general idea.

Odd, I am running veganginger and am NOT seeing that on either dolphinHD or the stock browser.
Did you install a custom theme?
*Sigh*
In your browser, you need to change the setting to allow picture and flash all the time.
Also, in some text box fields, what you need to do is long press the menu button first to bring up the keyboard and then press on the text box. For example, for the search option of this thread, you have to long press the menu button to bring up the keyboard and then press the search option and then press once on the text box that appears.
If you are using dolphin HD, in the settings look at the upper right hand corner and you should see an option that reinitiate your dolphin browser. Click on that and make sure you choose all the time instead of on demand.

If reverting to stock fails, you should be able to re-flash ginger (backup first, in case I am totally wrong) without clearing data or cache or anything, which should replace all the system files with stock versions for that rom.
I'm thinking the theme thing borked some core apk/image library. Hopefully reverting will do the trick but if not, you can always take the above nuclear action

Yeah, I was thinking nuclear , but I'll try to reflash first. I didn't know I could do that. I'm using titanium backup linked to my dropbox account, so I don't see either as horrible options.

I was playing with anycut a shortcut creation app and found a shortcut for a debug keyboard. It has four diffrent color screens. It also has a debug option with voice search. I haven't got that working yet. I m currently using the stone them much darker.
Can you post a screenshot? This sounds pretty awesome
Here are the pics of stone keyboard and keboard debug. UPDATE. After entering debug mode, I went to assiablity setting menu and found I could switch keyboards. I I'm now running swift keyboard.
I found the debug keyboards, and the acessibility menu with the input options. How did you enable swift keyboard? I have installed plus a couple other keyboards and i cant enable them so they are a option in the input methods.

It does change the themes however I was able to get Swift Keyboard installed. I can switch between SK and android keyboard. The problem is I can't duplicate the results leaving it difficult to instruct others in the process. Sorry

How about giving us a general idea? We won't beat you up too bad if it's incomplete or doesn't work. Perhaps someone else will take your starting point and flesh it out.
Thanks!
yah, just instruction on how to get the menu open would help. no worries if we can't reproduce. it would just give us a starting point

1. Install anycut: http://li362-167.members.linode.com/gapps/non_google/com.appdroid.anycut.apk
2. Open Anycut, Create a New Shortcut.
3. Pick "Activity"
4. Pick "Android Keyboard Debug"
5. Success!

Did you install your keyboard in any specific way? I suspect just downloading an APK is not going to work here.

Never mind, i have a complete procedure now. I have installed hacker keyboard! I will post it in a new thread in a little while.
Nice. I was able to change the theme. But in the accessibility menu, I only had one selection: android keyboard, even though I have thumb keyboard and swift keyboard installed.

I installed from google market i own SK I also opened it after installation went through the settings. I think I got a force close error i rebooted looked for the keyboard in the device setting. It wasnt there, So I just left it alone. A couple days later after doing a ton of stuff to the nook I found that installing kb's creates a hidden debug menu. I messed with some themes and enabled debug menu. Then I was just looking at the device menu, accessibility menu and checked input methods and there was swift keyboard. Sorry I had given up on installing an after market kb. I did it by accident. I also should mention I am rooted. I. have tried this with other keyboards with no luck.

Check the box that says "version 2.3.4". That puts it in debug mode.
When you go into accessibility, hit "cancel" on the prompt. Then hit "input method". If you did everything right, your keyboard will be selectable there.

I've just installed Ultimatum beta 4 (and now I see RC1 is out) and so far haven't gotten alternate keyboards to work. I prefer Swype or FlexT9, and I go into Settings->Language and input to change my keyboard. While I can select FlexT9, the Android keyboard can't be unselected (it's selected and greyed out). When I go to type something I have to use the Android keyboard.
(I would've posted this in the Ultimatum thread in the development forum but I follow the advice about searching forums first and have only needed to post three times previously)
You should be able to pull down the notification when typing and you can switch.
Post some screenshots of settings.
When I type an email, there's no dialog or notification to pull down.

Is there a way to keep the keyboard from popping up (temporarily)? So I want to keep the keyboard from showing on a certain website.
Here's the deal: on a website I like to visit there is a small animation and a place to type in your response. The keyboard pops up and covers the animation. I actually don't care about typing my response - I just want to see the animation. Thanks

Not exactly the answer you are looking for ... but you can close the keyboard by pressing the back key once.

One way you could do it is to download Smart Keyboard Pro and go to Settings --> Advanced Settings --> Hide in Portrait.

TouchPal keyboard has that. When it pops up, there's an arrow pointing down on the right side and it'll disappear. swiftkey has that feature too .

The thing is that the keyboard doesn't disappear quick enough before the animation starts and it is a quick animation so I miss the beginning. In case you are wondering what the heck I am doing... I am learning ASL fingerspelling. A hand spells letters of a word at different speeds for practice so if I miss the first letter, I miss the word.
Thanks for all your help everyone!

No problem.
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!

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.
