Has anyone figured out a way to fix the stock email client so that it auto-corrects with anything other than the stock keyboard? I'm tired of stock due to the small space key but Better Keyboard and Smart Keyboard auto-correct don't work with the email client (they do of course in other apps - eg Whatsapp).
Since there are 0 replies I'll add
From what I understand about keyboard they are quite independent to the app. The keyboard has 2 parts, the keys + layout and the line where it puts in suggestions and words etc.
They are only bound to apps in a kinda fire and forget way, from my limited knowledge I would think it's actually hard to disallow suggestions from the keyboard within an app, since they are quite separate. Speculation only though.
I like the stock gingerbread rom which works absolutely fine except in email (except hepatic feedback)
Strange. Stock samsung keyboard isn't my friend so would love this to work!

I'm sure someone could either hack the Samsung keyboard to fix the space key or get the alternative keyboards (eg Multi-Lingual GB KB) to work in Sammy's email?!? I really don't want to go back to Touchdown since I like the stock client!
Hi I only use gmail so not sure if other email app is the same (I ripped it off my phone)
But I use perfect keyboard and that works fine in gmail

Any ideas about fixing this one? This is the one issue that is annoying me about the phone. I use Smart Keyboard Pro but it won't auto-correct in the email client (despite working everywhere else).
I can confirm it. I use Smart Keyboard and Auto Caps function works only in the subject of the new email but not in the message body. Original Samsung keyboard works fine, so it seems to me, that it is problem of alternative keyboards. I hope developer of Smart Keyboard will fix it soon.
Bump. Still drives me a bit crazy. Has anyone tried to open a ticket with Samsung? It's clearly a bug with their Exchange client, which is different (much better!) than everyone else's ... but suffers this replacement KBD issue. The small space key is what really drives me nuts on the stock keyboard.

Yes, built-in E-Mail client is VERY VERY good - I am using it for multiple email accounts (Exchange + Gmail) and for this combination is much better than other clients from the Market.
I hope it will be fixed soon. Same as missed call count notification on the Phone icon - when I have some missed calls, there is no notification on icon ;(
Just wanted to bump this thread, as this issue is driving me nuts too. I think our only hope at this time would be for a custom rom to include a fix for the Samsung Email .apk.
Issue is fixed in the latest version of smart keyboard Prediction works as expected, just give it a try. I find smart keyboard from the market to be the best keyboard around anyway, it has many of the same features as the htc imei mod keyboard.

Just to let you know.
Auto capitalization on the email client is working now with "Perfect keyboard"
Thank Goodness - The Answer!
Thanks everyone I really appreciate this thread it was driving me mad! Now using perfect keyboard instead of the Gingerbread keyboard.
What I have noticed thpugh is that the insertion marker doesn't show in Perfect Keyboard. Any ideas?

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong location, but my Swype no longer auto spaces correctly. Rather than adding a space every word, it has started to add a space every 2 words. I now have to hit the space bar after every word I type. I have reinstalled Swype and it still has not fixed the problem. I have done a search on XDA and the net and still cant find a solution. Any thoughts from you guys?
I have the same problem. It's what made me stop using it. The only way mine would fix (and I know this sounds weird) is to delete all my messages. I moved on and now I'm using Resco Keyboard. Much better than the stock kb.
Yeah I ended up doing a hard reset because I was having so many problems with the phone. Now everything is back to normal. I might check out Resco Keyboard.
Why don't you switch to the latest version of Swype? It's great!
v3.19.20.20.6343
There is a small issue with Auto Spacing not working with HTC Messaging and Twitter. That can easily be fixed here.
Believe me, there is no on-screen keyboard that holds it's own in a contest with Swype. This thing is what got me off Hardware Keyboards.
swype never works for me!!! haha

That's because it's not for the Touch Pro 2...you are in the HD2 forums...
Hi all! I am new to for the forums and this is my first post. I just got a HTC EVO Shift a few days ago and coming from the moment I can't remember if the HTC Shift has auto correction for the hardware keyboard. I miss the "auto-replace" "auto-cap" and "auto-punctuate" from my moment.
So here is my question.
Does the HTC EVO Shift have "auto-replace" "auto-cap" and "auto-punctuate" correction. If it does, how do I turn it back on because I turned it off and can't find out how.
I'm playing around with my disconnected evo on wifi right now and don't have the shift next to me. If there are settings, it would be in keyboard touch input settings. I think I might have read something somewhere that the hardware keyboard doesn't have something enabled by default. If there isn't what you are looking for there, there are many free or good paid keyboards that can extend their correction features to a hardware keyboard. I know swiftkey does off the top of my head but that's paid. Gingerbread keyboard or gingerkeyboard, those are two similar ones, are good and might have what you are looking for. I'm on a quest for finding lightweight and fast keyboards lately so I don't quite remember which ones do and don't. My suggestion is to download appbrain and run a search on keyboard and maybe hardware. Look at what's available and try them out until you find one you like.
Be careful because I did notice a few paid ones that seemed good and had lot of features and settings, but were large in file size and some slowed down the phone. Try one at a time so you can determine if its creating a performance hit or not.
The settings for the hardware QWERTY are under Settings > Keyboard & Language > Touch Input.
The thing I've noticed is that the spelling and prediction aren't always there when using the hardware keyboard. It's like a 70-30 chance for.
I find it rarely changes anything in the messaging app, but google talk it almost always does.

I just looked and swiftkey doesn't have any hardware settings but it might automatically work. Ultra keyboard does have hardware section in settings. Another neat thing about ultra is you can swype with it too, look in settings. It also has navigation arrows. This isn't the information you're looking for, sorry.
There are some keyboards that are more aggressive than others when it comes to auto correction and insert.
I didn't find that the hardware keyboard corrected anything in the stock HTC messaging and email apps, but now I use K9 for email and Handcent for messaging, both of which autocorrect with the hardware keyboard
HTC ime mod kb has hardware correction in it and is fast. I'm using it now. I followed the link to the kitchen and made myself a black one and I'm happy now. The link is in general or theme app.
Has anyone pushed swype on to the Xformer ? or is there a zip that can be flashed ?
The built in ASUS keyboard has swipe typing available.

The swiping on the ASUS keyboard is absolute garbage compared to Swype. It might as well not even be there.
Trying to official beta doesn't work - get an error about unsupported screen size.
I haven't tried forcing the issue.

Too late for you now but the Amazon app store gave away flex9 keyboard which has swype functionality... in addition to voice dictation and handwriting.
swype feature is pretty good and works on the transformer.
I don't need a signature.
I have Swype and Dasur Slide it on mine and it is not a match made in heaven in the UK - as I have a conflict between the hardware keyboard and the software keyboard. It is very frustrating - as even though I have the software keyboards set to UK keyboards, this somehow alters the hardware keyboard to a US keyboard whne I re-dock. If anyone knows a way around this, I would be very grateful and the Asus trace keyboard is utter poo. I cannot use it. In fact I am not a big fan of Swype, I think Slide it is by far the best in its class.
I read a post here a few days ago showing how you could stop the dock keyboard being changed by the tab keyboard settings. Do search through the development forum. You need to move files around, etc.
I have Swype on mine but I don;t like it on the tab although it is great on my DesireHD. I use the Thumb keyboard which becomes natural very quickly.
EDIT

Have the newest beta on mine as well, works great! What I tend to do is make use of the resizable keyboard, make ik smaller, position it on the right.
This way I can hold the tablet with my left hand, and swype with the right, without moving too much across the screen.
The fail in combination with the hardware keyboard is a shame, there is a solution, but you do need root, which I haven't got around to yet.

Cheers pal, it's fathers day and I am finally having a day to play with my new toy, so far the launcher has been changed and now it looks like I will be rooted by the end of the day. Didn't think it would last long unrooted.
What's wrong?

I don't understand. I have Swype set as my software keyboard and am using the dock to type this. While I do get the annoying warning about setting the Asus keyboard when I first get things going, I haven't noticed any odd functions, or loss of capability. Am I missing something?

I don't have any problems either.
I think I did change something with the settings when I previously installed thumb keyboard (the @ was coming up as " with the dock keyboard) but I haven't had to do anything with swype.
Edit....I've not got round to rooting yet so I'm completely stock and using the uk layout.

The swype for HC with re sizeable keyboard work great for tablet in landscape mode.
I use Swype on both my Android phones and love it. A perfect present for Fathers day was an email saying that Swype had released a new beta which included additional Honeycomb support!
Sign up and try it out here at beta.swype.com
After all, it's free! (at the moment)
This one's somewhat hard to explain..
When typing an email in the Samsung's email app (NOT the gmail) I get these bugs:
- First of all, app itself is fast, typing is nice and fast, what u'd expect.
- When taping on the screen to change the cursor position - it takes about 1 second each time for it to actually respond and move cursor. Just an annoying lag for some reason. Happens all the time.
- Once I typed the text, say I want to change something - I tap somewhere in the text, wait for cursor to actually appear there, then I start typing/backspacing - cursor immediately jumps to the last character in the email. So I can't actually change anything I typed in - I have to backspace all the way to that place, change it, then retype everything from that point on. This problem is intermittent, but is incredibly stupid and frustrating as hell.
Anybody got these issues? Any idea what's causing these?
PS: Happened on VillainROM and on Cognition. Both with Nenph. and SpeedMod kernels.
It happens in all browsers i tried as well, with all keyboards i tried
Only happens in email app for me. Opera browser is fine..
I wonder if it has to do with the fact that email.apk is deodexed
I'm stock and use the e-mail app with Exchange. I haven't had any of the issues you described and I'm a pretty heavy e-mail user. I'm on KF3.
I have the problem too.
It hasn't mattered what ROM or Kernel combination I've run, it always plays silly buggers!
Exactly as you describe, once you begin to type in the body of the email, it becomes very difficult to edit what you've written without deleting it all (including the email signature).
The email app is the only place I have this problem, everywhere else is fine.
I'm sorry I can't give you any indication of how to remedy it, however I'll be keeping a close eye this!
I have this problem too but only with swype keyboard and only in the stock email app. I'm on the stock rom from the bell canadian gs2.
the way around it i've found.. click once on the word you want to edit, then hit the swype key and either choose from the list of words swype gives you or start typing.
its pretty damn annoying though.. i hope there is a proper fix

I don't even have swype installed, and I have this problem..
It must be something in the app itself, I think
Bump, if I may ..
Really looking for a solution to this problem =(
If you swype from the blue S directly to the right, you get a swype cursor pad up and can move the cursor much easier that way without having to delete everything u typed!

hi, I have an imap account and when I reply to an email it does not mark it as replied in the default email app. Is there a setting fot it somewhere? It works with k9, but not the default email client. Any suggestions ?

i dont send many emails from my phone but ive noticed this when im posting on some forums i use if im browsing the actual site and not the tapatalk version.
I have stock Note 3 and I've been running into issues with a lag or delay while using Swype in hangouts and other apps. I'm assuming it's an issue with Swype and it causes me to lose whole words. I wish the other Swype-esque keyboards were as good, but even the Google keyboard gets wrong more often than not compared.
The new hangouts has some additional issues for me where nothing I type shows up and the send button doesn't replace the camera location. I usually have to change keyboards to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are not the only one...
Thought I was going crazy. But yes - definitely a Swype + Hangouts issue afoot.
Not sure if this is the place for help - I'd think hitting the Swype forums is best shot (which is my next port of call - this thread came up top on Google when I searched just now for this issue).
cheers
I have the same problem using Swype in Hangout on my Droid Maxx. I don't have issues with Swype in any other apps.
Swype becomes sluggish and whole words are oddly lost, among other problems.
