Hello all, is the a way to be able to see through the keyboard? On certain time when i use an app and the section where i input my text, it is behind the keyboard and i cant see what im typing. I can do this on my wife's ipad, and she continues to rub it in my face that her table can do this
Some please help a samsung user squash this matter so i have another "up" on an apple.

You can use floating keyboard mode and move the keyboard away , or disable the split keyboard

Where is that setting as I can't find it on mine?
I use keyboard view settings>theme and label settings and choose keyboard theme transparent (experimental) . Whilethe keys look glowy and the background of each key is a lighter grey, it's not transparent. Tested this using s note and another app. Even restarted my tablet, but nada.

I know the Samsung and Swype keyboard you can hold down the SYM or ?123 keys for a directional pad but does the stock android keyboard have anything similar for precision text selection?
you can do WHATNOW?
how do you make it work?
What keyboard are you using?

What he's talking about is on the swype keyboards if u swype from the tutorial key to sym (symbol) key (bottom left) it brings up a directional keyboard. Try it, you'll like it. Sorry op I don't ever use that other keyboard. Im sick with swype
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I have had this phone for a month and never knew you could get directional keys like that. That will definitely make edits easier. OP is my hero now.

Haha glad I could help. I'm curious why everyone uses the samsung keyboard, I feel its performance and dictionary are great but the layout is completely horrible. I'm talking mostly about the , ? and @ key locations. I just found an app called SmartKeyboard which has the layout of the Androod keyboard but includes the extra Samung features (in the pro version for 3 bucks). I think I'm going to spend the cash on this one

The word suggestions on the default keyboard can be a bit hit or miss, but my only real complaints are the size and behavior of the caps key. Half the time I try to type an A I get caps and I still haven't figured out how to change caps in the middle of a word without going back and editing manually. I am looking forward to your review of that new keyboard. If it works I will buy as well.

Any reason why you're not just using Swype and its arrow key function? I guess some people still like to type thumb-style, but since I was a ridiculously sloooow typer (combo of limited # of texts + my obsession with grammatical correctness), Swype has been a godsend. I'm only moderately slow now
I come from a blackberry where I could type rediculously fast even while not looking most of the time so I guess I'm just used to this kind of style. I tried the swype keyboard with the swipe function but I found it laggy and slow for me to type. I guess if I gave it some time I would get used to it but with word prediction at 3-4 letters with the android keyboard I am a beast. My only beef with the android keyboard is the lack of a smart dictionary like the XT9. So far this SmartKeyboard trial is great but I think I'm going to buy it so I can try it with the dictonary and let you all know how it goes. When buying an app from the market, does it remember your purchase so if I wipe my phone in a week I can redownload it without paying again?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yes. As far as I know purchases are linked to your main gmail account. As long as you sign in with the same one you can download all your apps again.

Sounds good, I'll keep you all posted, is there a recommendable app for screen shots so I can post a mini review?

If you are rooted, there is a screen capture app in the market. If not, you can use the android SDK and there is a tool - the Dalvik Debug Monitor that will do a screen cap. You have to run ddm.bat to launch the app, and have your phone in USB debug mode.
I think my next step will be rooting above anything else, thanks for the info

Settings>Sound>Audible Selection, uncheck that?
I'm using Swiftkey X, I bought the keyboard.. man I knew that when the beta ended I would NEED to buy it, the predictions and keyboard layout are fantastic! I should go on XDA premium and send this message just to prove a point but whatever

Yea I really like SwiftKey x, i just think that amazon will have it as a free app soon, so I don't feel the need to buy it now. What about the people who purchased the original SwiftKey.? Do they get left behind?

I used to be able to use a different keyboard all the time (Thumb Keyboard) and still connect BT Keyboard but in JB I'm forced to switch to the Samsung Keyboard. I also always get the message that pops up showing the language, which forces the loss of a few keystrokes in most cases. Feels like Keyboard support was better in ICS. I'm going to try null keyboard and hopefully that helps.
Hi ..I just bought hdmi dock to connect my note 10.1 to my tv and I am using a bluetooth keyboard with it...my question is ..is it posdible to keep the tablet keyboard to pop up when I want to type something ?

I'm very sure that it pops up unless you indicate otherwise. Took me sometime to get it to not to by uninstalling the default one for the AOSP keyboard. Don't know why it can't be done in the settings.....
Well its not popping up and I didn't change anything in the settings

Hi Guys here is a quick video showing Next launcher on the Note 3. Although I have no problems with TW, but its an option to those who dislike it.

Don't you lose a lot of the S-Pen functionality without TouchWiz?
I only see that is missing the left app slide manager but I see that even if you run the TW isn't there also so you had disable it?

No you don't loose spen functions using a launcher

Just to be clear you dont lose S-Pen but some navigation tricks are lost. Like swiping up for "magazine"
However the replacement launchers often have much more features that include gestures.

You do lose air command though, and multi window, don't you?
Those are specific to TW.
The only thing you keep with S Pen is the actual writing ability and pressure sensitivity, isn't that right?
