Browser keyboard sucks :-(

[Dave Lympany]

Hi guys

OK I've got my HTC m8 overall I'm impressed but there's a problem which is fairly major and unless I'm doing something completely wrong is a huge design fault.
I've had an s3 for a good while before the HTC which had an excellent keyboard and word selection in a little bar above the keyboard which worked great. The HTC standard keyboard does not have this and it's driving me mad! I've even tried to install the Samsung galaxy keyboard to no avail, any suggestions??

I've been using SwiftKey Keyboard play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey for a long time and like it (and I have a Samsung phone - their keyboard's not bad, I just like Swiftkey a lot better. You could also try Hacker's Keyboard play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard if you want a full keyboard, working Ctrl and Alt keys included (in landscape only - it's not a great keyboard in portrait mode). (Excuse the links - the site is having link fits again.)

1.Go to your M8 Settings.

2.Scroll down, open Language & keyboard.

3.Tap on HTC Sense Input

4.Go to Advanced

5.Make sure Word prediction is enabled.

6.You can also enable Next word prediction.

I hope that's what you are looking for, if not, then kindly explain with a screenshot, as personally I never used any Samsung mobiles.

Hi yea it gives the option in texting and Facebook etc it's just in browser mode like chrome or Opera etc there is something called Trace which seems pointless

Try SwiftKey as someone above suggested, most people like it.
Personally I don't use it, I use GO keyboard.

hmm, I never noticed that before, as you are right, it really doesn't work on the browser.
