so when i use mt bluetooth keyboard i get a popup saying i need to change to samsung keyboard to use it. if i click ok or press back it will change the keyboard. this is annoying because my samsung keyboard is regional i.e. uk and my bluetooth keyboard is us the same as thumb keyboard (the onscreen i use) so when it changes keyboards some of the symbols are different.
so my question is, can i stop this from happeing?

Wanting to know the same thing - or even if any of the custom ROMs has this "fixed."
The app External keyboard helper pro allows you to set the language, so you can set it the same as your other keyboards and it has some other helpful settings too. Maybe this is what you're looking for?

Not sure, might try it out. I never had these keyboard issues in ICS and was hoping I was just missing a setting. Have you tried out this app for this purpose? Does it work well?

I picked up this keyboard when it was free on the Amazon App Store a while back. It's awesome! You have several different input options:
tap-type
trace (like Swype)
voice (great recognition!)
write (like a stylus)
I use the voice method most, but all of them work really well. And unlike a lot of other aftermarket keyboards, this one has numbers and special characters on long-press (they're shown above the letters).
The only thing I'm missing coming from the stock HTC Sense keyboard is the directional buttons for moving the cursor around text fields - without a trackball, it's kind of a pain to move around by touching. At least this keyboard has a 'pointer' you can drag around, which makes it a little easier.
Any other great keyboards out there?
I'd like a keyboard I could fully customize. I'd love to be able to remove the buttons that I never use and just get in the way (voice button, language button, etc).
I'd also like to force the predictive text to pick the words I want by default. Typing "aren't" always tries to replace it with "seen" grrrr.

SwiftKey X is a good one to use too. There's a free beta in the market, and by far the best keyboard I've used

The arrow keys on Gingerbread are hidden but can be brought in by just dragging the spacebar up and hidden by dragging it down, which I like since I hardly use them but still need them every once in a while
Is there a way to make the keyboard default to FlexT9 or Swiftkey or whatever you have installed? It's kind of annoying to have to set it up every time I restart the phone.
Hello all, I ve just connected a physical keyboard to my Xoom but I cant type in Greek. I use SwiftKey keyboard as a greek supported virtual keyboard (works flawlessly) and although I am able to write in English, I cant type in Greek with my physical keyboard. If anyone knows a way to do that please tell me how. Thanks in advance
Did you set the physical keyboard to greek in the settings? Each keyboard type needs own settings :/
check setting
Problem is that Xoom doesnt have greek keyboard thats why i use swiftkey keyboard as virtual keyboard. Is there a way to add greek in system/usr/keychars?

I've already used morelocale2 this morning with no luck to change input method, only local settings language.
------
I just found the solution and it was much easier than I thought. The solution is called Go keyboard, one of the most popular keyboard apps on the market. I was using swiftkey, tried smart keyboard, tried slide it but none of these had support for physical( hard) keyboard if you hadn't had Greek input method as an option in settings menu.
Thank you all for the help anyway.
In greek ευχαριστώ πολύ
Is anyone out there using Swiftkey tablet. I use it because of the Dvorak keyboard layout, mainly because the Note doesnt seeem to support keyboard layouts other than Qwerty.
When I type in Swiftkey it seems to be registering multiple keystrokes. This doesnt happen in the stock samsung keyboard or SlideIt
No problems here. Try uninstalling and then re installing

Did you try Polaris Office and S Note.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Still does it in these two apps.
I'm using SwiftKey without any issues. I've used both Polaris and S Note. Did you try a restart? Could be some sort of magnetic issue that might be resolved that way. Big bummer. Sorry.
I have swiftkey on all my devices except the Note10.1.
Does Swiftkey support big, small hovering and split keyboard like original keyboard ?

It supports big and split, but no hovering.
does using a keyboard other than the stock one still allow you to use the S-pen instead of the keyboard whenever you want to? I know that the stock keyboard has the setting button that you press to select text recognition for using the pen within the browser.
Think it's a common issue but I can't get SwiftKey T to learn from my Gmail.
Anyone else having this problem?? Or have a suggestion.??

I'm using SwiftKey 3, but I've been experiencing a lot of freezing+force closing when using it with Chrome.
Hovering would be nice. It offers all else that I need.
Hi all,
I work for SwiftKey. Please be sure to post bug reports (one at a time) on our public forum at support.swiftkey.net. We also welcome suggestions there. Regarding Droidcarp's note that there appears to be some difficulty with personalization, our Dev Team has been made aware of this report and they are looking into it for you.
Again, our public forum is the best place for suggestions and bug reports. This allows us to streamline the development process so we can continue to make SwiftKey as excellent as possible for you.
Thanks very much,

As long as you dropped in, HWR would be good, too. Sammy offers a hover keyboard and HWR, also. Started using their split keyboard - very nice - and offers HWR.

Any idea how to get the handwriting key to be included?
It is a shame the standard samsung keyboard doesnt support dvorak
Definitely needs handwriting support and the arrow keys like the phone keyboard.
For now it's fine to leave the stock keyboard set on handwriting and use the keyboard switcher in the notifications to switch but it would be useful for it to be integrated.
Also maybe a way to adjust the width, in split mode it seems too wide and I have big hands!
I switched to swift key also from swype today and noticed an echo like effect in snote, working fine in the xda app but broken in the snote app.

My stock Samsung keyboard can no longer provide haptic feedback after installing the SwiftKey tablet, does anyone have the same problem.? I think doesn't matter how you change the settings, and it just doesn't vibrate
Does anyone know how to disable the ability to slide between keys on the keyboard in JB?
My tablet (transformer prime) on JB does not do this, and I find it annoying on my phone because as I go for another letter, the keyboard always thinks I hit the letter next to the one I intended.
Or does anyone know of any 3rd party keyboards that would achieve this (though I prefer to somehow disable stock). Thanks
Do u mean swype.....???
If so go into setting
And switch to android keyboard

So the current ROM(liquidics for droid2) doesn't support the physical keyboard very well. The lights stay on when its closed and pulling it out doesn't change the orientation. Is there a way I could pull keyboard modules or whatever handles the keyboard from another ROM that works (AOKP or CM9) and patch them over it?

Not third-party, but I did install Google Keyboard. I don't see how that would effect the physical keyboard much as I ran a ROM before where the android keyboard service kept crashing, but the slide-out still worked.

Hardware buttons and softkeys are controlled by keyboard app too as far as i know.
I think you're right about the virtual keyboard handling the physical one, but I think Android itself controls the back lights and orientation. I've tried some third party apps and they don't fix it.
