Suggestions are not working for me. Any idea what the problem is?

I'm running 4.3 JSS15Q SlimBean beta 5.

In what's app. After sending a message and typing immediately after that too fast, your last word automatically fills in

Annoying bug!

+1 It's very very annoying. I hope it can be fixed in the next versions.

@kiideveloper I'm not sure anyone has reported this, but using a Nexus 4, stock SMS app, the enter key doesn't actually create a new line - it sends the message. Same thing for hangouts. From what I can see, and the testing I've done, there is no way to enter down a line.

Can anyone else replicate this?

In any apps, you can only enter a newline if the app allows you to enter multi-line text. In hangout, it won't let you send multi-line messages. As for SMS app, every default SMS app is different, must of the 3rd parties SMS app you can get from the play store WILL allow multi-line messages.

In the latest update, you can enter new line by shift-enter or long press the smiley (enter) key and choose the return option

Using another keyboard I'm able to create multi-line messages in both Hangouts and the SMS app. It's only when using Kii I'm having the issue. I'm happy to provide screenshots if you're not convinced.

I already mentioned this issue before.
I can enter multiline SMS with other keyboards (built-in and swiftkey, for example), but not with this one.
So it definitely looks like issue with this keyboard, and not the SMS app.

I need an honest opinion here.

Basically I have been using Swiftkey for almost a year and now I have switched to Kii keyboard. I like it a lot mainly because it is a lot faster/ snappier than swiftkey. The many customization options are also great.

However, my biggest issue is the word prediction. Does it get better? Will it learn from my typing over time? I haven't checked out all the features, but can it learn from my text messages or other sources like email, fb, or notes (Swiftkey feature). I just want better prediction. Very, very important for swiping, but still important when I use both hands to type. SK has pretty good prediction and I can almost type without even looking at the screen.

Also, should I wait for a sale to upgrade the App? I know I bought Swiftkey full price but notice they have A LOT of sales, going as low as 99 cents. I don't mind supporting the developer but it's annoying buying an app full price and finding out they have sales all the time for it.

    I also have google running but only 31mb not 80 like you. Wonder what the google thing is?

    Guys, memory usage in modern operating system are designed to be dynamic. The system is designed in such a way that it will give as much memory as needed to an app (up to some maximum) if it has the memory available, the allocated memory will remain even when they are not being actively used. When another app (or process) needs memory, the system automatically reallocate the unused memory from one app to this other app that needs them. This memory reallocation takes time so the system will not do it unless it's necessary.

    This is why on some devices you see an app uses more memory and on some devices it uses less. For example, on mine phone, Kii Keyboard is currently using 20MB of memory. If you see an app uses a lot of memory, it may just mean the system has enough memory to go around and therefore does not need to reallocate unused memory from one app to another.

    Monitoring an app's memory usage is the developers' problem, not something an user should be concerned about. From an user perspective, you should just be concerning about whether the app is performing well/smoothly, if it is, there's really no need to care about how much memory it uses.

    Kii keyboard is based off the android 4.2 keyboard, that's why you find many similarities between many of these ports. We are all trying to take the good ides from different keyboards and incorporate them, so yes many features are inspired by different keyboards on the market. I have definitely tried many of these alternative keyboards.


    I've used the other JB keyboard and when I tried this one I presumed it was off the 4.2 base with improvements & additional options/features.

    But, I haven't looked at the 2 we mentioned to compare menu by menu - are they that close?

    --

    EDIT: Trying to compare the three keyboards. They all even seem to have some different options of what they can & can't do (does the one by VLLWP have swipe like ability that I'm just missing?). Emoticon is on the enter key on two of them, and a letter on one. Long press on the period gives slightly different menus. Long press on the ?123 key is much better on the Kii keyboard.

    So,to me, this doesn't look like a direct rip of one of the ones in the market - this looks like it started as a port of the 4.2 keyboard that he is trying to improve.

    Of all 3, I'd stick with whoever keeps trying to improve on it, even if they all started as ports.

    I'm really missing ability to correct already made words. I mean swipe a whole SMS then you find a mistake, you click on bad words and choose another from the bar. Here I have to double click, delete and reswipe
