The Default Keyboard resets to Samsung Keyboard after reboot - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I use Thumb Keyboard as my default keyboard but every time I turn off/on the tablet the Samsung Keyboard comes up as the default one. And yes, I set the Thumb Keyboard as the default in the settings. Anyone having this problem? Or a solution?
Thanks in advance...

Update: the problem seems to be only with Thumb Keyboard, I switched to Swiftkey and problem solved, anyway both are great.

Similar issue
I and my husband both have Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablets running on Jellybean. Both have SwiftKey installed. Every time we turn the tablets on, we have to set SwiftKey as the default keyboard because it keeps changing it back to the Samsung keyboard. This is driving us both crazy. Our Galaxy Note II phones don't do it. Neither do our old Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 tablets or the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablets we returned to get the Note 10.1 devices. Does anyone know how to fix this? (I already uninstalled SwiftKey, rebooted, reinstalled SwiftKey, set it as default, and rebooted again to find that the issue continues.)
Thanks!

I had that issue before i rooted my device. Still on stock, but I installed Titanium backup and froze most of the bloat including the stock Samsung keyboard. Golden now.

Check out the SwiftKey website. This is a well known issue.

I have two n8013 bought at same time. One does what you discribed and the other always comes up with thumbs. have not looked into what's causing it.

Mmmm... That's probably not the best solution but I'm going to try that....
Thanks (Afronicus)

thanks Grant H
I was hoping that wasn't the answer, but I guess we are out of luck for now. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction.

pressing "Settings" in Chrome causes it to force, anyone else have this problem?

pressing "Settings" in Chrome causes it to force, anyone else have this problem?
I have a new Tab 2 7.0.
I installed Chrome browser from the Play Store. When I click on "Settings"
in Chrome's drop-down menu, it forces close the browser. I have tried
uninstalling and re-installing it, but it was still behaving the same way.
When I was at the local Best Buy store, I tried it on their display Tab 2 7.0
and it did the same thing.
If anyone else is experiencing this problem, do you have any idea what
may be causing this?
Thanks!
P.S. This doesn't happen on my Galaxy Nexus phone or any other Android
device that I own.
Yup. Happens on my tab running CM9. I assumed it was related to the rom...I was not aware that this happens on stock as well.

guess there's some conflict between Chrome and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
Like I said, the Chrome browser doesn't have this problem on my other
Android devices.

from my experience, this problem is only limited to the Tab 2 7.0
(on both 4.03 and the recent 4.04)
not really sure which one to blame... Google or Samsung?

just tried Chrome for the first time on my Tab2 7.0 and encountered this bug when I hit the setting menus in Chrome, it doesn't do anything for a few seconds and then the whole Chrome browser just closes by itself, returning to the home screen.
is there a workaround for this problem?
I was also having this problem a few weeks ago on cm9 but now that I'm on cm10 it works just fine

I have the same problem, it's probably a bug.
It worked when I installed CM10 thought.
Did this problem exist when the Tab 2 7.0 was on Android ICS 4.03?

I guess the problem is on Samsung's end?

Yes, you're right. This setting/close problem doesn't happen on the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that my friend has. I have been paying with it for the last half hour.
However, I also don't notice any lag when using the Chrome browser on it. In fact, it's just as fast/smooth as the stock browser and the Dolphin browser.
This trouble happens due to screen size. It is known issue and devs promise to include it in next Chrome update
See thread on Google Groups for details: Chrome bug Android ICS Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
Go to chrome://welcome and click the settings link.
Happened to me too, but it seems to be ok now.....running stock 4.0.3

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.

bluetooth keyboard issue

I have bought a bluetooth keyboard for the galaxy note 10.1. The issue i am having is that the on screen keyboard still pops up whenever i am typing and it defeats the purpose of having the bluetooth keyboard. I am not rooted and I hope that I dont have to root just because of this. Is there a way to fix this issue because i only see half of the screen when using bluetooth keyboard. Thanks!

download "null keyboard" in the playstore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wparam.nullkeyboard&hl=en
I use External Keyboard Helper Pro. Works well. I do not use my BT keyboard very often anymore though, so not sure if it works as well now as it did 6 months ago. Changed to a macbook air for heavy computing work needs and now use that for typing.

[Q] Samsung Note 8 keyboard apk

Hi guys,
I did a clean wipe of my Note 8 tablet, but I forgot to keep my Samsung keyboard. Does anyone have the apk?
Thanks.
I'd sure love to have this too. The Note keyboard is the best I've used yet.

Note keyboard
Is there any update to the note keyboard? I really liked the way the stylus worked with the note 3 is it possible to port just the keyboard
I had exactly the same problem, but with a phone. I used S-Voice to get me to the play store to download it. Just say "Samsung keyboard" and it should show the apk for you to download.
