Try this go to settings>language and input>then make sure the swift key 3 is the only one checked or lit up. No other keyboards can be checked.
If i helped give the thanks a little tap.

I got rid of swift key because of that. For some reason, when I used polaris office it kept auto correcting all my correctly spelled words into randomness.

I did just the opposite I got rid of Polaris office and downloaded quick office. Thanks to it once being free on amazon's app of the day.
Never used Polaris but I do have a backup for it. As far as SwiftKey I wouldn't use anything else

Agree on SwiftKey Tab edition, and I found that ithad much better interface with the userdictionary and wordlist.txt
Also went with a purchased QuickOffice, it works great and doesn't feel like your paranoid uncle as Poloaris office lol!

No doubt about that. I purchased SwiftKey for my phone and tablet and wouldn't use anything else.

Two semi serious questions:
1. How does Polaris feel like a paranoid uncle (I'm genuinely curious - I work for QO and use it fairly often when testing things for customers or just spying on our "competition"'s apps)?
2. It looks like the Galaxy 2 tab can get Jellybean - do you really need Swiftkey with Jellybean (since Jellybean supports the swiping motion)?
-Keri

Haha I was just being goofy, I simply like QuickOffice better and the general layout and interface of Polaris bothers me for some reason. Purely my own opinion.
Yes jb does have swype, but I don't use it. SwiftKey works better for me and my large fingers, as you can increase the key sizes (sm, med, or lg) . With the stock keyboard, I'm always banging wrong keys. Swift seems to have much better predictions, so I'm much more efficient by using the prediction. It also learns ur patterns. Sorry it sounds like an advert lol

I've never found Polaris Office to work worth a damn on any keyboard, but as I remember SwiftKey and Polaris really, really didn't get along. I have to say OfficeSuite Pro HD is well worth the money.

No worries on the advert front - I get a little frustrated with the keyboard myself, so I'm kind of shopping for a new one to use.
I'd have to agree with you - Quickoffice > Polaris (but I'm biased )

I am aware that I can choose different layout but as I get used to it I find it more easier to use. My passwords consists of various numbers and letters and I find it easier to type as the numeric keys are present on the same screen
On Swiftkey X I decreased the long press to 250ms from 500ms so I just have to hold the letter for a split second to get a number. It's pretty fast.

I haven't found a keyboard better than the Gingerbread or ICS keyboard yet. Nothing else can keep up with how fast I type. I like Swiftkey X a lot due to it's fairly accurate predictions, but I can't type as fast on it without it's multitouch getting confused.
Also, themes and apps section next time!
I've tried most and use go keyboard also. I struggle hitting the period button when pushing space on most keyboards, therefore I have to be using one with a long spacebar or a spacebar that is shaded to the left right next to the back arrow.

I do the same damn thing and it pisses me off sometimes. Sometimes I look back at something I wrote and I have a period like 7 times instead of a space.
I tried modifying the apk to increase the size of the spacebar, minimizing the size of the return or smiley key, however it didn't seem to change anything. If someone else is more experienced with modifying something like that, I would LOVE a new ICS keyboard build with a longer spacebar more than anything.

Swift Key X. I honestly don't see how any keyboard could be any better. So many options, some alright themes and it corrects so quickly and I love the vibration every key. I hated it on Sammy's stock keyboard but it feels like I'm doing work. I can text so quickly and it will pick out nearly every butchered word. I love it. They have a month trial..

I thought Go keyboard was pretty good at first until I tried its swiping capabilities which were awful. If you don't swipe the letters perfectly it doesn't seem to be able to determine what you were trying to write. I don't seem to have a problem with swiftkey lag. Maybe I just don't type fast enough
another +1 for Swift Key. Just a few minor quirks but with out a doubt the best as far as accuracy and speed.

I thought the stock “Swype” was so bad that I was going to send the phone back. Got Swype Beta and it made all the difference in the world.

I have to agree about Swype, I feel like the latest update has been a step back. My complaints are:
1) they removed the "delete whole words" shortcut found in the menu when you Swype to the #5
2) I dislike how my Swype button rarely highlights a word so I can change it. Sometimes it will just keep going to the beginning of every word until it gets to the beginning of the sentence/paragraph.
3) the responsiveness for punctuation seems to miscalculate and place an error more frequently than I've seen in prior versions.
It feels like a step back although not much is missing. I've been using it for roughly a year so I know how far Swype has come.

Wow.....just installed swype beta instead of this stock samsung crap that was on before. Probably 96% accurate now instead of ~50%. It's now bearable to put text down with just one thumb again Now I just want that microphone icon on the swype keyboard so I can talk if I wanted.
I have been using Swype since my OG Droid and I don't think I could ever use another keyboard again. One tip I have is to turn off the auto-correct, especially useful if you use any shorthand or slang in texts etc.
SlimSnoopOS - I totally agree on #2, I hate that it only highlights the previous word about 25% of the time now. I can't figure it out, its like its totally random now...
I was a huge fan of Swype. After changing android phones without Swype on it, I started looking. Amazon offered Flex T-9 as the free app of the day some time ago which I lucked up and downloaded for free. This is the BEST app out there right now.
Not sure if they have a free trial, but it's definitely worth the money!

Agreed, stock swype is awful. It seems that it's attempt at "learning" has actually made it worse. I feel like it was more accurate 3 weeks ago than it is now.

The voice detection is still there, it's just the flame icon now (at the bottom right next to the Search/Return button).
The icon change was because Swype was bought by Nuance, which also owns Dragon Naturally Speaking (the flame logo). They are branding the voice search, which is why the icon has changed. I hope this also leads to some under-the-hood improvements thanks to the merger.
You can consider using Swiftkey 3 as well
I find it to be a lot better at text prediction although it may not work for those who prefer swyping
Just saying thanks guys. Beta Swype is awesome and is a million times more accurate than stock solution.

Previous SNote?

Hi guys!
I got my Note yesterday and after I've upgrade it to the new Android version I've got the new SNote as well and I'm not a fan! My palm is accidentally zooming when I rest it against the screen in a way the previous one didn't and the buttons at the top bar was much more intuitive to me.
Any other with the same problem and maybe a solution? I am open to new better apps as well, I've tried LectureNotes but as an engineering student I'm really in to the SNote shape/function/search the web functionality and I have not seen any app that's anywhere near SNote considering that.
Thanks in advice!

You can disable hand writing so only the s pen is activated, the button can be located at the lower right side of the screen just right of the add page button. The symbol is a hand. Hope this help

Thanks! That was the first thing I did, but the zoom is still active at least when the pen isn't near (14mm/~1 inch or what it might be) and in reality I don't have the pen that close to the screen at all times. The strange thing is that I didn't have these problems with the previous model, maybe they changed it in some way when they added the "pinch to delete page" functionality? And besides I liked the little arrow that completely minimized the toolbar and gave me a blank screen to write on which have now mysteriously disappeared.
I think there is an apk file with the previous version somewhere but even though I've been Google it for the last hour I can't find one! Anyone who has it on their tablet?

Exactly, to me the ideal is to have a blank piece of paper and be able to put the tools needed (maybe different pens and the function/shape thing) as floating boxes just like you do at CAD programs etc. SNote got just that, and to be honest SNote was a huge part of why I bought this tablet in the first place. Now it's kinda useless though...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having troubles or disliking the new SNote, the more that have problems the faster a solution will appear I hope. I have actually only tested LN besides SNote, mostly because LN is great in any way but SNote it isn't. It doesn't have the mathematical function recognizer nor the shape recognizer and just doesn't seems to work as well with the rest of the system. Like the "screenshot, drag and drop" that works like a charm in SNote where I can look something up at Wolfram and paste it to my notes. It does have some advantages over SNote though, I feel the pure writing is better on LN and it have for example the really simple but so useful feature of "select part/text and move it", more easy to customize background etc.
Not at all! I thought of the same thing myself, I just wanted to check if I was the only one having this problems. But the easiest and by far fastest way to deal with it would of course be if anyone had an Old SNote apk file to install. Adding a "lock zoom and pan" option won't solve the problem with the whole new version suck, and I think getting them to get back to previous versions will be difficult.

That's actually not a bug I think, you can adjust the screen brightness in many apps individually. I'm not quite sure where in the new SNote though..

I got a reply from Samsung Sweden today where they apologized and told me that I, for a cost, could get the previous SNote version if I got the tablet to a service center. On one hand I think it's great that they actually give the customers the option of having the previous version back but on the other I think it's rubbish having to pay for it when it it because the new one is working like ****. There might be a chance that the downgrade will just be a couple of bucks but I'm afraid it won't.
I'm going to reply to Samsung once again, this time with a movie I've made that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier. To be continued..

This is obviously a solution however to me this isn't an option since I think everything from the general flow to the multiscreen capabilities is that much better than on ICS and even though SNote is a big part of this tablet LectureNotes is not far behind. But don't get me wrong, I wanna have both of them working!

Thanks for your answer!
No it's not, I've got 4.1.1 and have the version 5r16958FV03 so it's not even close. However, I don't think everyone's got these strange problems and I don't have them all the time either. But it's way too often to be acceptable, especially since the precious one didn't have any problems what so ever (as far as I could tell).
Have you noticed any other bugs or are your version of SNote a stable functional one?
Another thing I noticed now when I looked up the version of SNote is that I have not one but two "programs" named SNote, the main one of 8.8MB and another one of about a quarter of a MB. Is it possible that the smaller one is the upgrade? I couldn't disable it in any way unfortunately, and when I forced it to stop nothing happened in SNote but that might be because it started up again.

All the same problems and an eng student also.
I wish someone would've warned me! lol
I'm probably gonna call Sammy tomorrow, I'd love to see a march on their booth during CES.
I was a little surprised that there was no way to downgrade with Kies.

[Q] Finally Got My Note 10.1

New thread further down the list! SWEET!
I got this tablet for school, trying to go paperless. I came from TF-101, now my wife's, so I know how things work. My question is, what is the best most stable Rom for this device? I like customizable roms but stability is a must. Any ideas out there?
I tired Omega but had problems connecting to my schools wifi, we have to use a third party app to connect, went back to stock and no problems.
Also, whats the best keyboard and word document for this bad [email protected]# machine?

Unfortunately there is no specific one rom.. U will have to try a few roms and see what fits the best.
Omega rom has been the best for me, but very slow with updates..
Keyboard - best is the default one but lacks spell check.( there is a mod available in this forum) . I use swiftkey for typing and default for handwriting..
Word document -i like officesuite pro but Many like polaris , etc are good too

Im starting to think just leave well enough alone. I love it so far and each day I find something new. Tried Omega and collection v6. Stock seems to be the best so far.
Any ideas on dock able keyboards and can I use a mouse with this. Im thinking full laptop replacement.
S- pen is nice, but sometimes you just have to type.
Ps
Odin is awesome, its like flahing roms and restoring is completely encouraged.
A word app you might want to give a try is CloudOn, a free app that is as close as makes no difference a full MS word and Excel for your tablet. It's not perfect and it lags a bit (at least here in Europe, maybe it's because it's webbased and the servers are in the US) but it has the advantages that all equations, tables, pi pictures, figures and so on you have in your document is displayed properly.

try redemption rom :good:
First off congratulations on the note 10.1 !. Personally I would stick with stock, maybe root it, debloat it and enjoy. There are a lot of great roms out there but there are a lot that suffer from weird quirks and glitches, Also I would advise against using any custom kernels or overclocking as they have a tenancy of causing crashes in my experience

I'll second CloudOn, and also second the lagging. If you need to do some serious work in Excel, I don't thing it can be beat. Else you can usually find me in Google docs for first stays of papers, notes and things like that.
As for keyboards, I picked up a Microsoft wedge bluetooth keyboard and couldn't be happier. I found a new in box item on eBay for $45 shipped, in stores I think they are closer to the 60-70 range.

Hi
For me if you are looking to take notes then use Payrus, its free and geat to use.
Have you tried the free polaris office.
Keyboard and mouse have Motorola works for me.
Hope you have as much fun n productive as I have...

Nothing against any developer, but without source code hard to get perfect results. Most very good considering.

+1 to Papyrus.
As I just got this tablet a few days ago, still undecided whether I want to keep it or not, the smaller development kinda surprised me.
If you're using it to replace paper for school, you're best off with a rooted stock rom so you can do multiwindow everything but keep everything stable. Also, lecture notes + dropbox => golden notes.

Indeed, but what he is asking for is something stable and stock imo is the most stable, not saying there are not good roms out there, but the last thing he needs is his note crashing after have written a Bunch of stuff for school

You missed my first post, "the best rom is already on it".
Correct. The standard firmware is very stable.
I use lecturenotes to take handwritten notes it also allows you (with the extra plugins) to record the audio while you make your notes. You can even record the audio plus a video of the notes so you can play it back after.
Another small recommendation, if you like mind maps simpleminds is great.
