As per topic. Is it possible to do that? I mean, without the needs to press long on each word to save it.

Wow, that was fast, I'm using the keyboard that comes with CM6, if it's not possible to do it with that keyboard, which keyboard is capable of saving those words automatically?

i have never used CM so i cant tell you about your keyboard, however most keyboards will automatically add a word to the dictionary once you hit space, others like the HTC keyboard give you an option to add words with one press. It all depends on the keyboard.
I'm using the HTC IME keyboard and it automatically adds a new word you type that it does not recognize.

On the default CM keyboard, if you have the predictive option turned on and you get that bar of words above your keyboard... type in a word and hit space... you'll see in that same bar it points to the word you just typed and tells you to tap the word to add it to the dictionary.

Hey All,
I have 4 concerns about SMS that I need anyone to share his/her knowledge with them.
Is there anyway to start sms in an ABC Mode? (Not T9)
Second is there any registry setting that I can change so sms starts in the writing field not the phone number field?
Third, is there a way so I can I always enable CAPS to be always on??
Forth Is there any registry editing that can make the first letter I write in an sms to be a capital letter one? or any letter wrote after a (.) for example to be capital?
Please anyone shares his experience about these concerns.
Thanks.

If you change to T9, or ABC, it should remember next time you write a message

Should happen as default
You need to leave a space so that it puts a capital letter after a punctuation mark.

Not the case here also It does so when I write an appointment or something in the calendar...but It dont work when I write an SMS...
Shaady: I will try leaving a space after the (.) to capitalize the letter..however, it dont capitalize the first letter I write in the sms dialog.
Thanks dudes,
But how can I check the registry settings of the keyboard are right or not?
Much appreciated.
not sure on reg settings. what ROM are u using?
i use the 'Full QWERTY' keyboard, and tapping on the CAPS/shift key twice changes to caps lock.

I use the original 1.93.737.1 ROM m8.
Maybe bec. u use the Full Qwerty keyboard it saves the T9/ABC mode for the next time you starts it bec. I tried it and It worked.
However, I use Compact Qwerty and it never saves status of the ABC/T9 Mode I use...It always starts with T9.

The auto complete for the hardware keyboard (which I believe is modified).
Is quite annoying. I am on Cyanogen 7.6.2...
I tried turning it off through settings and no luck... It makes my typing much slower.
Is there a file to remove through terminal emulator or ADB?
Don't press the text field when the keyboard is open. A little trick I found out to stop it. If you disable it, you disable autocomplete on the VK.
I know that but that is plain annoying too

if you turn off the HTC keyboard, you can disable it properly i believe
Would be awesome if there was a way to disable autocomplete for the hardware keyboard without having to disable it for the VK. I understand the reason why there's not such an option, as I assume the HTC_IME is really only available (in the wild) on phones that have no physical keyboard, so no such distinction is necessary.
Is this something that could be hacked or modified? I don't suppose there's source available for the HTC_IME?
Would be nice if there was an option as I much rather hte HTC_IME, especially in protrait mode for the phone keypad and T9. Best way is to get used of using the trackball to move into the text field instead of touching it to avoid prompting the auto correct when using the hardware keyboard.
Maybe someone might work on a more internal solution when the time comes.
Go into
Settings > Locale and Text > Touch Input
Disable Prediction and Word Completion
That will fix it

I think the problem is that this also disables VK's autocomplete.
This problem is the reason why I went with the Chinese IME. I do use the Chinese part, but not enough to be the deal breaker. The HTC_IME has better portrait mode VK, but the autocomplete-with-hard-keyboard kept me from using it.
On Cyanogen's todo list, it says something about stopping interference with HTC_IME and the physical keyboard. I think he might have been talking about the autocomplete thing, not sure though.

Yea i had seen and i hope its for that it annoys the crap out of me
I've tried a lot of different keyboards on my phone and for a while I thought the HTC IME was the best and that's what I used as my primary keyboard, but on my last wipe I was feeling lazy and didn't install it and instead used the stock keyboard for a while and I was amazed at how much better it is!
I make way less errors on the stock keyboard, the key layout seems to make more sense, and the keys do a better job of changing based on context (such as changing the return key to a "Next" key in web forms or smile button in gchat). The HTC keyboard still looks the nicest, and I like that you can long press keys to get numbers and symbols, but I found it very annoying that while you can see the alternate symbols on the keyboard, pressing the alt key causes everything to shift over a key or two. I'm always chasing keys around!
I tried out Froyo for a while and the stock keyboard is getting even better! It shows common punctuation in the suggestion bar after completing a word, and it has a much nicer approach to adding new words to the dictionary. I hated how all my typos ended up getting added to the dictionary with the HTC keyboard.
Anyone else feel the same way?
I too have found the stock keyboard very capable. Especially for how accurate voice input is.
My only wish is that Google would allow you to enter a line break with the stock keyboard when composing an SMS.
I agree. Coming from an iPhone, I have no problems with the keyboard, and Froyo's keyboard is really nice!
Yeah the stock keyboard in Froyo is awesome, I still use Better Keyboard just because I like the look of it better and ive gotten used to the key placement, but stock is definitely awesome, once its themed I may switch to it. I dont use predictive text or anything like that though so those features dont really factor in for me.
I never got why the stock keyboard gets such a bad reputation. I wish you could pick different word choices after you move on from a word, but other than that I like it a lot.

Are you still using Better Keyboard with Froyo? I used it with 2.1, but since upgrading to Froyo, Better Keyboard doesn't seem to auto correct my words and isn't prompting me for alternate words like it used to. I'm uninstalled and reinstalled too and it hasn't made a difference.
I preferred Better Keyboard because of its key placement and the skins, but since I can't get the auto correct to work with Froyo, I haven't been using it.
Also using better keyboard here (on Eclair). Love the long press to get to most symbols. I find it better than the stock 2.1 keyboard.
Here's a good overview of the options out there:
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-centrals-keyboard-roundup
I think the default is some pretty mean beef. I like the customisability of HTC IME, but even a totally stock keyboard seems better. I wish I could extend the space bar so it was massive though, thats the ONLY errors i make.
I don't know if it's the best or not; it's certainly good enough that I haven't had to use any others...
Definetly not as good as the "better keyboard". Multi touch without a delay when using sound and vibration. Something the default keyboard can't do, not even the htc one.
I use the numbered 1-9 keyboard using T9 since its so fast. But I never had a problem with the stock android keyboard. Some say its not good and auto correct doesn't work but I found it works perfectly.
Just fly thru your words, don't even have to hit exact keys, and it gets close to all correct.

what he said.
honestly, i almost NEVER use stock anymore after using swype. in fact, i don't even use landscape anymore. all one handed, all fast, all the time.
swype is one of the first things i put onto a fresh flash.
and, when i do want a landscape keyboard, i use htc_ime.

I used swype for a while and it's pretty awesome. The best part about it is the fact that you can type quickly one-handed. Unfortunately I like to use voice input sometimes and there is no button for that on swype.
Better keyboard looks promising, but I actually haven't tried it. Maybe I will.
I still think that I can type as fast on the stock keyboard as I can with swipe. I find that I seem to spell out words as I type them, and swype forces me to think about the full spelling much earlier and it slows me down from time to time.
Tried stock, didn't like it. Then, SwiftKey, that was pretty awesome but not as good as Swype!
i really like smart keyboard pro. i really dislike having to do extra presses to get symbols :\ why cant the stock keyboard just let you hold and get a symbol?

Disagree. Was just talking about Swype over here
I really like Swype, but there is just one thing that really spoils it for me. Entering words and text is just great. Love the way it works and I find it satisfyingly easy to enter text.
BUT when I have to enter logins into dialog boxes or URLs in an address bar on my N1, everything turns to Sh1t for me. I know you can still peck keys, but I keep finding it adds the wrong characters and symbols. It becomes such a PITA that I have temporarily stopped using Skype and have gone back to stock.
What I would like is a simple gesture like 3 taps of the Swype button to toggle swyping on/off. Then I could temporarily have regular keyboard behaviour for these short periods when I am not entering words.
So for now, I am with the OP. I reckon Stock is best.

add your username and/or password to the dictionary. swype it.
I like to have word prediction on, so that I can see word suggestions and choose a word if I want to. But it seems to force autocorrect too (when I write a word that it doesn't recognize it puts in the highlightet word in the prediction window when I press space, instead of the word I have written. And I don't want it to autocorrect anything.
Is it possible to keep the word prediction, but without the forced autocorrection?
i don't have the phone right now but you can take a look in the settings>keyboard & languages
Thanks, but I can't seem to figure out what to change. I go to the HTC Sense Input > Advanced where I can turn predictions on and off, but I can't change the autocorrection there. I think..

I cannot stand the lack of spellcheck using bt keyboard in mail app.
many of us use this thing for business. I am constantly typing up emails in hancom word, spellchecking then cut/paste into gmail....so brutal.
How about changing your keyboard. I use touchpal.
Or change your email app.
What email app has spellcheck?
The keyboard idea won't help as I am using a Bt keyboard. I realize touch keyboard has autocorrect.
I think you misunderstood the suggestion from DUHAsianSKILLZ - changing the keyboard application on your phone to one that will utilize spell check while using the Bluetooth keyboard. The recommendation was TouchPal, and SwiftKey was also recommended in another forum.
wosiek, I am hopeful your response is an answer...but I dont understand. If i put on swiftkey (which I use when not using bt keyboard) it auto corrects. When I use my bt keybaord, the on screen keyboard (swiftkey) is disabled....not sure how it helps

Haven't tried it, but Swiftkey is supposed to have a "physical keyboard" setting that allows it to detect a BT keyboard and take it's input allowing it to provide spell check. I haven't tried it myself, but found a lot of references to it when I was just googling out of curiosity.
Sweet! I'll look into that
I want to thank all of you here! The tablet is now "perfect" . SwiftKey running on tab with Bt keyboard is perfect. Nice to have a line of predictions at the bottom with no virtual keyboard in the way!
Thanks again!

I have the logitech BT keyboard and whenever I try to configure it for Swiftkey to spellcheck I get prompted to change "language and input." The physical keyboard is already added with "English - US Android Keyboard" selected. Also, the "Use onscreen keyboard" is not turned on. Am I missing something because I can't get the line of predictions at the bottom that you describe?
Thanks
Yes. Install SwiftKey. Activate it. Then (here's the revelation part)....swipe down and turn off the on screen keyboard. Will reveal the predictions
And.... Now with an update. This no longer works. Agggggvg

With a recent upgrade (within late two weeks), I also lost the predictive line when using my Bluetooth keyboard. This happened months ago on a different tablet but somehow I got that fixed. So far I've not found how to fix it on my Tab S. I really liked that feature as it helped improve my pitiful spelling and made typing a little faster.

The predictive line still works when NOT using a Bluetooth keyboard. My touch pad still works on my Bluetooth keyboard but I'm a bit confused about your question and what a "touch pal" has to do with this issue.
Sent from my SM-T800 using XDA Premium HD app
Anyone know if either "TouchPal" or "Swiftkey" has a plain default overlay like this one? I prefer the plain Android default keyboard since the letters seem larger when it doesn't have to share the key with numbers or symbols.
I'm new and can't link to the keyboard but here is a photo if you want to see what I mean...
home dot comcast dot net/~csurvine/MyFilelocker/Keyboard.jpg
Edit to add... I would also like it to have control so I can do copy, paste etc...
I guess what I thought was plain Android default keyboard was really Samsung's default keyboard.
But I still prefer it's cleaner look without the alternate symbols in with the letters. This allows for larger letters which my old eyes can see better and my shaky thumbs can hit better...
