i want touch input to be my default keyboard or text input, i get anoiyed everytime arabic keyboard comes eventhough i choose the touch input as defualt for texting.. any help will be much appreciated.
use sktools to maneg your default keyboard
so has anybody else noticed that the word prediction (when having the phone keyboard set to regular touch input and not Swype) doesn't regularly show up when using the hardware keyboard?
I've noticed that, in order to get the word prediction going when using the hardware keyboard, I'll first have to close the keyboard, start typing with the on-screen keyboard to initiate the word prediction, and then open the keyboard and resume typing, at which point the word prediction continues..does anybody else have this issue?
I havent noticed that yet. Although most of the time I enter a program and after I get frustrated trying to type on screen I switch to keyboard.
I remember having a similar issue, although it only seemed to happen to me when entering into the messaging app sometimes. It was a mild annoyance. However, it completely went away when I installed swiftkey X. I highly recommend you get it. Imo more than worth the money. It's the fastest and most accurately predicting keyboard I've tried, particularly with hardware support.
It doesn't seem to be working for me very well, but do make sure you enabled correction by going to:
Settings > Language & Keyboard >Touch Input > Hardware Keyboard Settings > Prediction.

Hi Sinfamy, thanks, I did make sure that that setting was enabled. The prediction does show up, but again, only after I've first started typing with the touch keyboard in portrait mode first...if I start off an email or SMS with the hardware keyboard open, the prediction never kicks in.
I'm also gonna give swiftkey x a try and see if that helps.
swiftkey x is working great, and it seems like it'll be really good with its predictions too...thanks for the suggestion!
The best thing about SwiftKey is that it only gets better the more you use it! Keep in mind that although you cannot enter your personal dictionary and edit it like you can with other keyboards, if a prediction you don't like keeps popping up, you can press and hold the prediction to remove it.

nice, thanks for the tip napilopez..
is anybody else using keyboard manager to switch between keyboards for landscape and portrait, and finding predictions not showing up properly?
Is there a way to stop the virtual keyboard from popping up on screen when it is in the keyboard dock, also is there a way to stop the text I am writing into the stock browser from dissapearing under the full screen keyboard when typing?
Thanks
I couldn't find a way, but I got round it by clicking the v on the bottom menu (Next to home) which closes the onscreen keyboard down. Its a bit of a faff tbh. But at least you can get to type on fullscreen. To see what you're typing, just use the arrow keys/the text tag and scroll down.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? It is so annoying. Everytime i touch the screen to edit, the virtual keyboard pops up. I use the up/down keyboard Key, below the Enter Key on the virtual keyboard to minimize the virtual keyboard. I have cheked the settings and there is no option to disable the virtual keyboard. Any suggestions anyone?
I don't have a dock but use a bluetooth keyboard from time to time. To avoid the same problem I have installed null keyboard from Google Play store which works well for me.
Works brilliantly thanks just what i was after. I've got the note docked and the keyboard hasn't appeared on screen once while typing this. Only thing i had to do was set it to the default keyboard first in the settings under input.
hi,
just bought note 8.0 gt-n5100 few days ago.
I can't figure out how the s-pen works in certain cases.
at first I couldn't activate the handwriting panel when I detached the s-pen. whether it was a web browser, S-note or whatever where text can be entered, I had only keyboard panel popping up. Which is not bad, I could use fingers or the s-pen to type the keyboard.
but I wanted the handwriting recognition tool and use it for entering web address as well as for notes.
So I found the option in settings/language and input/samsung keyboard saying that when text box is tapped with the s-pen the handwriting recognition mode is switched on.
and it works, well partly..., i.e. when I open web browser or s-note and try to enter text the keyboard panel pops up. then, when I take out the s-pen, the keyboard is replaced with the handwriting panel.
The problem is that I can't go back to the keyboard (I mean the alphabet keyboard because the symbols keyboard can be accessed from the handwriting panel). I hide the s-pen, close all apps, open them again and try to enter text - immediately handwriting panel pops up, never keyboard panel.
to activate the keyboard panel again I have to turn off the tablet and switch it on again. but once I change from the keyboard panel to the handwriting panel again, it is the same problem, I can't go back to the keyboard otherwise than by kind of reseting the tablet.
Anyone got the same issue and knows how to solve it?
every help appreciated.
thanks

It is happening with all the keyboard I have tried:
Asus Zen Keyboard
Google GBoard
Swiftkey
Swype
basically sometimes when I am typing with individual keypresses, keyboard register it as swipe which is quite annoying since most of the time it's a wrong word need to be deleted and retyped.
same here
