(ICS) How to change input method without going too settings?

Hey just curious on how to change my keyboard while in any app that uses the keyboard to input text. I tried to press and hold an empty space on the screen and the input method never pops up like on all other Android versions.

Nevermind I figured it out. When you are typing there is a keyboard notification at the top and you just have to click it to change keyboard

Thanks! I was caught off guard too.

Long pressing the space bar also does the job. I miss gb where all you do is swipe the spare bar to change languages

Any way to do this automatically "per-application"?
When I'm in terminal emulator I want to use hackers keyboard, but I'm fine with standard in other places (like writting sms).

I feel retarded

I would love to be able to do that. I use chrome as my browser and it does not play nice with swype. When deleting text it skips to the middle of words and sometimes when typing a word it will use the suggestion automatically before I'm even done typing the word.

Swiftkey

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

Random Menu Bar appeared on phone?

Hi just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this random menu bar that's appeared on my phone? I've closed all applications with es task manager and it's still there. I'm running Jellybeans on a galaxy note 2
If anyone can direct me where to get rid of it would be most appreciated.
Cheers guys!

Do you mean the bar on the side with the icons?
I think the phone has TSF shell launcher, try a launcher like apex or nova

If that doesn't work you can try this app
I had a app popup as the playstore, and it was a spam type popup from an app i installed a long time ago, DOWNLOAD AIRPUSH detector also as a double check if experience any abnormal popups to your GUI . it found the app and i uninstalled it ASAP (it was a workout app)

That popup is not abnormal, it is a feature of the last update. It's called multi-card, and allows you to manage 2 or more applications simultaneously on the screen; if you drag one of the icons on the desktop it opens the corresponding application, and if you drag another will open the new application under the one that is opened before

That's amazing cheers guys! It was properly bothering me becaues it would pop up every now and then and I didn't know why!
Is it possible to add other applications to the selection to use in multi windows?

No, for now, the apps supported are only the ones you see

What non Samsung apps do you use ?

Just curious how many people use different non Samsung apps on their Note 5 ?
- Keyboard ? I use Google Keyboard, I found the stock Samsung keyboard too cramped
- Text app ? I tried stock messages but didn't like it, so went back to Textra
- Themes ? I don't like the look of stock TW, so I went with the Material Dark theme
- Browser = Chrome
- Launcher = NOVA
Anyone else use different non Samsung apps ?
Another question regarding the stock messages app;
On the stock Messages app, I hate that little description that pops up for 2 seconds when about to type or reply to a Group Message ? It says like " Group messaging will now be converted, blah, blah blah " How can I turn that off, or stop it from popping up each time when replying to a group text ?

Same apps as you except I use action launcher instead of Nova. Also use Google calendar just because of the widget. the stock calendar app isnt bad.

Nova launcher pro, swiftkey keyboard, hangouts for sms, chrome browser, aosp calculator, Google calendar, Google Keep for notes, i pretty much delete every Samsung app as soon as i get root on these phones.

I use squid as my writing pad, has some cool features.

Can the google keyboard use the spen features?

Can't confirm that the Google Keyboard does but I would think it does. Swiftkey ( my keyboard of choice ) allows the use of the SPen.

I use Fleksy KB. It's the bomb diggy!

The spen feature should work with any keyboard specifically because it pops up if you hover wherever you can do text input.

SwiftKey, Opera browser, Power Amp

Stock messaging app - internal link handling

Morning everyone. I've found that when someone sends me an SMS and that SMS contains an URL, the URL is handled and opened inside of the messaging app. This is a problem for me as typically there is something that prevents the page from displaying. I can tell the page loaded because when I click the X to close the page, it briefly displays the content then I'm back at the SMS. Anyone else seeing this? Is there a way to force the url to be opened in the stock Samsung browser or Chrome?

I'm wondering the same thing. Very frustrating.

You can use package disabler pro to disable Samsung voice input and then Google will be default

Hmm....I was hoping that others had the this SMS URL problem and had solved it. It's ironic I guess....Sprint sends me a URL regarding the Note 7 recall....I can't read it because it opens inside of the SMS messaging app. I had to Copy the url into the Samsung Browser (which I really like) to see the recall info.
Well, if anyone should pass through this thread...and had the issue but resolved it, please let me know. Thanks

You can also just hit the 3 dot menu and select open in browser. Its not a solution but its easier then copying the link.
