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.

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

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?

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

I love swype even more now, thanks for the tip.
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'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

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.

Sometimes when I'm typing on the keyboard, some of the letters are not registered even though the touch is. Anyone having the same problem? I'm using swiftkey btw but it's happening on all the keyboards I use including the Samsung one.
nope. Use Swype, don't have that problem or with the default keyboard either.
Ya Samsung keyboard is complete absolute crap
