Typing on keyboard - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

swype on the tbolt

For some reason I can use the swype keyboard feature only the first time I install the swype keyboard. After that I can type each letter but it won't let me swipe anymore. Any suggestions?
I am having an issue with Swype as well: I cannot get it to Auto-space. Any help would also be appreciated.
There is some issue with it in HTC Sense Messaging. I have the same issue. If you use Handscent it works though.

You need to re-license it. It kept doing that for me over and over again so I got rid of it. Using Shapewriter now...its basically the same thing.
Yes swype is very bugging on this phone. Only works with well with 3rd party messages apps. I have reinstalled several times, with the same results. Hopefully an update will fix.
There are version of Swype that can be found that are apparently for the EVO. I am not quite sure if it is an older version, it may very well be but I heard that it works. Just some food for thought!
the only issue I have is that it doesn't work on a fresh reboot right away.. I have to enable the touch keyboard (stock) and then change it to swype after that and it works fine until I reboot my phone

Same, the easiest way is to just open up any txt window and hold your finger there until the "Txt input" box comes up.. choose standard, then repeat process choosing Swype.

same workaround ive been using.
After dealing with the same issues I switched to flext9. It's not as pretty as swype but does the same thing and has surprisingly accurate voice recognition, which I use once in awhile. Hopefully the first update from HTC includes a stable version of swype so we can all stop dealing with the licensing issues.

are you guys using swype beta? I'm thinking of switching from the fascinate, but one of the things I really love about the fascinate is swype, would hate to have to leave it. thanks

Swype beta works fine on the t-bolt, like the previous post says one issue is that it doesn't work after you reboot, you just need to enable the stock one again and then re-enable swype, takes 2 seconds.
Another issue is it doesn't work well with the HTC facebook/twitter app. The app has built in auto complete which messes up aftermarket keyboards. If you use something like launcher pro it doesn't matter, or 3rd party widgets.
I found a working version on swype on my TBolt. It took me a while to find this but finally got it working for me, doesn't reset after reboot or anything, and it's not a beta version I don't believe. It's the full version and haven't had any problems with it at all. Send me a PM for the link...
I got the eco swype apk, works great for me.
This sometimes happens, switch between stock IME and Swype on a text area and it should fix it for a while
I switched to slideit keyboard and I prefer it over swype beta.

Predictive text issues

I used to have an HTC Blue Angel and the predictive text was excellent for me I could type really quickly.
Ever since I changed to a Touch HD the predictive text chooses the wrong words, automatically sticks in bits of text I don't want and frequently will double type stuff when I use backspace to delete a wrong character.
Does anyone know how the get the Blue Angel PT onto a Touch HD it's been driving me nuts for a couple of years now nad my only real complaint with the device.
Well that's is a little bit complicated to do.
What I would recommend is to simply change your keyboard to SwiftKey keyboard or you could install a rom which might solve your problem

I'm running the Galaxy S2 and hate the keyboard. I haven't used many android phones that I actually lik ethe keyboard on. They all seem to have a mind of their own. Just turn off any sort of autocorrect or preditive text. I tried a bunch of keyboard apps and the one i liked most was iTap. It's suppose to be like the iPhone keyboard but eventually I ended up giving up on that one to.

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.

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.

Predictive feature lost on Samsung Keyboard

I don't know when o how, but I've lost predictive text on Samsung Keyboard.
I know, it is not the best keyboard out there, but for me, it is enough and it worked fine... but with predictive.
Any idea about why it is lost?
Reset all the settings for the keyboard and restart the phone. I use this trick to fix my kb on a note 10.1, didn't had the issue on the s7 yet.

It doesn't work with that trick.
Sorry to hear that I hope you'll find a solution.
