This is my first posting within this forum, so please let me know, if anything is wrong or missing or you need more information.
I have some serious issues with my keyboard Apps:
Android-Keyboard (AOSP) (Default) ==> Works fine except for one App: Signal. The word suggestions bar stays empty whilst typing, though Auto Correction works. For every other App it’s not an issue.
Please Note: Originally I had installed Signal via the /e/ Appstore “Apps”, but updated it via https://signal.org/android/apk/. because that App Store is not trustworthy at the moment, sorry…and can’t be reached at present anyway due to server timeout?! ==> Just to make sure: Is the AOSP Keyboard really private and secure, means it is not “chatty”? I suppose so, since it is pre-installed, and read about it somewhere, but have no real confirmation.
AnySoftKeyboard
==> Installed via F-Droid, which was actually kind of weird, along with an additional language pack. It shows no suggestions bar at all, although this option is activated. Well, first it did not, then I de- and reinstalled it, then it worked fine and all of a sudden, the bar is gone again. But when it worked, it worked with every app, including Signal.
I hope this is sufficient for someone to help me out.
I’d say I did all that by deinstalling both ASK and the language pack and reinstalling both, but maybe you could specify “cleaning all data”
In terms of AOSP Keyboard, I solved this issue now by deinstalling Signal and reinstalling the apk from their website. Now word suggestion works fine for Signal as well. I suppose there was kind of a mess up by installing it via “Apps” first and then updating it with the apk from their website.
Thx mate, but it did not help for this issue. Idk, maybe I will give it another try with de- and reinstalling ASK within the next couple of days. I will post the result accordingly.
But all in good time, since I have some other issues and nuisances to take care of.
AnySoftKeyBoard still doesn’t work properly with any app, even after the /e/-OS Update 0.15. The app works in the beginning, but after a while the word suggestions vanish and swiping doesn’t work either. For now, I will stick to AOSP.
@Grendel: Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out sometime.
