Phone scrolls automatically - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

More specifically my phone will automatically scroll to the very top of my text conversation when I open the keyboard to type and it's annoying to scroll back down every time I have to type a message. If anyone has has a fix, Thank you
Also I'm using SwiftKey

[Q] Ultimatum ROM keyboard

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.
I've attached a screenshot.

[Q] Can you restrain the keyboard?

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.

Thanks, mattdm - that should work and I may very well use that suggestion. Does anyone know of a free alternative?

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!

My suggestion will do it instantly. I know there's a free trial version of Smart Keyboard on the Play Store...try that one and see if it has that feature.

[Q] Predictive test word completion and suggestions

Just got my Galaxy S3 today and the first thing that is driving me nuts is the predictive text and word suggestions.
When I am typing I would like suggestions to appear in the bar but I don't want the phone to automatically change the words I am typing without my clicking on the word in the bar. I had this working on my Gingerbread ROM on my HD2 but I can't seem to get it to do this on the Galaxy S3. What setting am I missing here??

That's not what I am after. Doing that completely disables the suggested words bar. I want the suggested words bar but I don't want it to auto-complete or auto-correct my words as I type as it always gets things wrong. What I want is to suggest words in the bar as I am typing and if I see a word in the bar I want I will tap it. This is how it was on my Gingerbread ROM.

That's a completely idiotic comment. If you don't know then just say so.
This was functionality that existed on Gingerbread ROM default keyboard I had so its not hard to understand that it could well be there on the ICS GS3 ROM also.
Hi
I found the swift key 3 keyboard very good.
Swift key is nice keyboard app.

+1 for SwiftKey, honestly it's better than the iPhone keyboard. Amazing and what it does.

Same problem here. If it suggests a word and you hit SPACEBAR, it will append that word. Horrible design.
I switched to Go keyboard for this reason alone.
Thanks guys. I'll give Swift Key 3 a try if its not possible to change the behaviour on the default Samsung one.

If you leave Predictive Text On, but instead go into Predictive Text settings and turn off everything in there, it will show suggestions at the top of the keyboard and not change what your typing

Wheres my text?

Im running a stock Note, and sometimes when I enter stock text messaging from the lockscreen my text doesnt appear when i begin talking. I have to close out the text messaging app and re-start it for it to work.
Does anyone know why, and is there a solution.

Anyone out there ever have this issue with their note?
Your OP isn't clear. You are using s-voice to dictate a reply to a text message after touching the notification icon on the lock screen? And the problem is your message isn't appearing in your conversation list?
Do you have another text messaging app with voice like "assistant" app? Maybe that app is intercepting your texts.
Negative/ What I mean is, the screen will be locked. It will light up when i get a text message. Instead of doing a regular swipe to unlock, if i select the text and swipe to directly enter the message in the stock text messaging app, when the keyboard appears, i start typing but the key presses do not register on the screen. Usually when this happens i have to close out the text messaging app by holding down the Home key and swiping away the text application. When i restart it and enter the message then i will be able to actually type.
It has happened before when not unlocking straight to the stock text app, but that's how/when it happens most times.
Ditch the lock screen?

Tried that. It still happens when i'm just regularly using the phone, but not nearly as often.
Try a different keyboard?

[MOD][XPOSED] Disable keyboard auto pop-up

Stop the keyboard opening itself when you open an app containing text fields
Download at the repo
enjoy!
Awesome thanks, that keyboard popup tends to annoy the crap out of me. I'll check this out.
Now I just wish I could find a mod which disables the unbelievably annoying and useless "continue searching for network" popup dialog which shows up every 30sec when I lose signal (riding the tunnel transit etc) on my S4. If anyone knows how to disable that let me know!
Nice module ! was looking for this for a long time
The keyboard however doesn't disappear automatically anymore when returning to home screen by pressing home button or when long pressing home key for recent apps. Could you fix this please?
Edit: found out that the keyboard just doesn't disappear automatically anymore whatsoever
Thank you.
It's not working well, first time after device restart when I run app with text field it was OK, but second time keyboard displays and stay also after returning to home screen, as Benny wrote.

What is your hardware? I'm trying to imagine the problem this fixes. My 4.4.4/Nexus 4/CWM Recovery/Rooted/TouchPal X doesn't open keyboard until I touch text field.

Hi there!
Does this module stops the keyboard being shown again when returning to the Hangouts contacts list?
I simply hate this. A lot of times when returning to the contacts list the keyboard (SwiftKey here) simply shows up even without any text field over there!
Yeah, the keyboard doesn't show up but it also doesn't disappear, @hamzahrmalik
When the keyboard is up and I press the home button the keyboard keeps showing and I have to press back to hide it
But awesome module and it's exactly what I was waiting for

Works pretty well. I would like to see the keyboard not auto pop up in google now, and in the play store. Those are the only 2 things I've found it still pops up in. I never realized how annoying the auto pop up of the keyboard was until I saw there was a way to disable it :silly:

Just noticed that. It used to, was the main reason I grabbed it. Keyboard popping up when you just want to read comments is annoying, and then you have to hit back twice.
For some reason my keyboard doesn't auto close anymore when I leave the app that had an active text field in it. I have to close the keyboard manually. Ps I'm using SwiftKey
Yes. I think this need to be update.
It not auto shown. But once I really in chat and enter. The keyboard still there and I need to press back again to close it.
If not I cannot see the buttom of the screen.

Hey, this is a nice module indeed!
But I was actually looking for the opposite. LOL
Could you develop a module to ensure that the keyboard always auto pops-up whenever a text field is available on the screen?
Thanks
Doesn't work with Textra
In Textra, I turn off the quick reply pop-ups because I want to see the entire thread, but then the keyboard pops up blocking most of it.
I do like this module, but I wish it would work with Textra as well.

Same problem for me JB 4.2.2
Doesn't work for me on Instagram. So irritating that when I click on someone's profile, then press back, the keyboard automatically pops up and shoots me straight back to the bottom of the comments, and I have to scroll aaaaaaaaall the way back up to get to where I was. Maybe not a problem for some people, but when I do art features every week and get 200 comments, it's a great hassle. I was hoping this module would eliminate the fact that I have to use 2 androids during features, but doesn't seem to work at all. Huawei Ascend Mate 2, 4.3 stock rom
