Input Settings

There's one key left to discuss: the Keyboard Settings button. That's the odd looking key near the bottom left of the virtual keyboard. Image Tap this button once, and you'll see a small screen that allows you to choose between Android keyboard settings and Input Languages. If you're always typing in English, there's no need to worry about the language; however, if you're using more than one language or more than one keyboard, you can use this option to switch to an international keyboard on the fly.

If you long-press the Keyboard Settings key, it will skip the small dialog box and assume you want to go directly to Android keyboard settings.

The Android keyboard settings options include one that lets you dictate whether touching keys makes a sound. This might be handy if you're using all ten fingers, but it might be annoying if you're taking notes during a business meeting. You can also change your preferences for auto-correction, auto-capitalization, and whether you can see suggestions.

Follow these steps to turn on visible suggestions:

  1. Tap any text entry area to pull up the Android keyboard.
  2. Long-press the Keyboard Settings button.
  3. Tap the option labeled Show correction suggestions.
  4. Your three choices are Always show, Show on portrait mode, and Always hide. Tap Always show or Show on portrait mode, depending on your preference.
  5. You'll automatically return to the keyboard settings area.

The auto-correction option allows you to decide how aggressively you want your words to be auto-corrected. You can turn it off if you find it causing more errors than it fixes, or you can set it at aggressive if you find it really helpful. In most cases, the moderate setting should be fine.
