Like a lot of people, I prefer the Google keyboard over the Samsung one. Annoyingly, an icon appears in the notification bar whenever the Google keyboard is summoned. One way to get rid of this icon is to disable all other keyboards under Language and input -> Default keyboard -> Set up input methods. Unfortunately I've noticed that the Samsung keyboard keeps turning back on all the time. Anyone else observed this behavior? Very annoying.
Yup, same thing here using SwiftKey. Dang Samsung keyboard keeps re-enabling itself making the input notification show up again everytime I'm typing.
Is there a way to fully disable Samsungs keyboard without root?
Verizon Galaxy S6 owner here and I thought I was the only one dealing with this. I use SwiftKey as my primary keyboard. Still haven't found a way myself to fully fix this issue
You can hide the app using debloat by gates junior
I found the solution in another thread. You have to install ADB on your computer and set the phone up for USB debugging, the you can hide the Samsung Keyboard. I'll find the thread and link it here.

Samsung keyboard keeps coming back after SwiftKey has been set as default keyboard
I know this is an old thread but I just got my Samsung Galaxy and was having the same problem.
The way I solved it was root my phone, which I would have done anyway, install SwiftKey, and System App Mover, and use System App Mover to move Samsung keyboard to a user app, because I didn't really want to delete it, then I moved SwiftKey to a system app, but the Samsung keyboard kept sending notifications "Samsung keyboard has stopped" and I couldn't stop it from doing that, so I just deleted Samsung keyboard, so now SwiftKey is the default keyboard, haven't had the problem since.
Sorry for the long paragraph, I suck at writing.
Hello,
I am running the latest version of android fro the galaxy note 5 and i seem to be running into a problem with the keyboard while texting. When typing, if i put an ! after a word it always changes it to i!. I have tried different keyboards and different messaging apps and i still have this problem.
Any possible solutions would be appreciated.
I had the same problem...annoying ****z...go to phone settings, language and input, default keyboard, and scroll all the way down and hit reset settings...hit clear personalized data and reset keyboard settings.

I like the Samsung keyboard but I don't like Samsung voice input. I changed it to google voice input but after a few minutes it reverts back to Samsung voice input . Has any been able to use Samsung keyboard with google voice input successfully?
Not yet

I am following as I too have the same problem!
I went into keyboard settings (Language and Input) and under 'On-screen keyboard' there is a rocker switch for Sammy and Google voice input. Google on, Sammy off and the Samsung keyboard works. However, if you have been mucking with Bixby settings like me, it hoses up the 'ok google' voice detection when locked. So after testing a few minutes (Google stuck) i returned it back to Sammy (I use Google keyboard anyway). I like Samsungs keyboard, but since G Board added a number row option, I've been happy.
Anywho, is this the way you had changed the google voice to default with Samsung or some other way?

Is that the paid Package Disabler? Can you please link to the play store? Probably worth paying if you can disable all that.
Definitely worth it
Check out "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)"

Oops, now I see that it does just revert back to Samsung after awhile.

Samething with me, the phone kept reverting to the samsung voice even after I choose google voice.
I did figure this out a few days ago. You have to DISABLE the Samsung Voice in the Apps.
Settings, Apps, AppManager, Samsung Voice Input, DISABLE
Booya!!

Ditto. I've had the same issue and followed the same steps before checking in here.
I prefer the Samsung keyboard by quite a bit because I have found that, at least historically, its Swype and its prediction is substantially better than anyone else’s. Similarly Google’s voice recognition, at least for me, has been hugely better than everyone else’s. The Samsung keyboard/Google voice typing combo is one reason why I’ve chosen Samsung devices over everyone else. The other was systemless root, which Samsung has now chunked on our S8/S8+ devices -- and that goes to the follow-up problem, I can’t disable the Samsung voice input.
BTW - “Just use Google keyboard instead,” is not an answer at all. If it were, the OP, 3dmurphybeds, and I would not be on here posting. For all the other posts, I’m grateful for the suggestions.

I’m not sure if I just haven’t had sufficient coffee today, but the option to disable Samsung voice input is greyed out, so I can’t disable it.
BTW - I was excited about djxn40’s suggestion about Package Disabler (both for this issue and in general). But based on the most recent reviews, all of which look like they're very fresh and much after the OP, it looks like Samsung broke the application (I’m guessing some time in the past month).
Some have suggested BK Package Disabler. But I’m not sure that Samsung didn’t break it too. If anyone can confirm that it (or some other application) works on the unrooted US version of the S8/S8+ running the most recent OTA (G955USQU1AQGL), that would be awesome.

Does anyone know why there is no predictive text in any of the Google apps (including Play store/music/etc, Chrome, etc.)? Samsung is the only keyboard installed (other than voice typing), yet the OSK clearly is NOT Samsung (layout is different, etc.). It seems that Google and Samsung are spending so much time lifting their legs on each other that things that used to be selling points are so broken that it makes one want to run screaming...
It seems there are 2 Samsung Voice input: One for Bixby and one for keyboard (that one has a microphone symbol).
At first it was only showing the Bixby one and I could not disable it. Then I selected Samsung Voice for the keyboard, and it showed on the app list. I was able to disable it.
After a reset, Samsung Voice for keyboard even does not show in the voice input selection list and Google Voice is set per default.
Thanks to dsa44!
I just chatted with Samsung they took control of my phone through Samsung tutor and he downloaded the Google keyboard and in there you can change the voice to Google while keeping Samsung keyboard
Fixed (Samsung Galaxy edge s9)
Open settings > general management > language and input > on screen keyboard > manage keyboards > turn OFF Samsung voice input FIXED
I too dislike Bixby! She's um retarded! Lol
This settings change I explained above allows google voice no longer allowing Bixby!

Can I uninstall gboard after I make this change? I got it to work! I turned off Samsung voice input under language settings on default keyboard says manage keyboards and you turn Samsung voice input keyboard off. Then I downloaded gboard which enabled the Google voice input. I also kept Google voice input as the keyboard on under manage keyboards. And now when I push the voice button it uses Google! In the Samsung keyboard. However I don't want to keep keyboard on my phone because it takes up memory battery and Storage. I wonder if there's a way to put it to sleep well Google voice button still work? Or maybe if I uninstall it will it still work?
Gboard is on my Samsung watch 4. Whenever I try and use the mic with speech to text it will not auto cap the first letter like Samsung keyboard does. In fact there isn't even a setting on the gboard watch settings for auto cap. How do you get this to work? I don't like it not capalizig the first letter.
Does anyone know a way to make Google assistant voice typing work?
I got stuck with gboard saying multilingual typing and no longer can enable assistant typing even though the options are turned on.
It keeps defaulting to regular voice typing. I don't want to wipe my phone just to get this stupid busted feature working. I had to do that last time this bug happened to me.
Edit: I just reset the cache and data in Google, Gboard, and set all Google voice and Google Assistant settings to one language. I also set my activity controls to one language as well. Anywhere a language was set on Google account side or within the phone settings seem to do the trick. Google makes this a insane setup to figure out.
