Hi all,
Found out that Note 2 when use the qwerty keyboard for typing, when you repeatly key in the same alphabets for example like "l" after a certain limit it will stop and the whole keyboard stop responding even you type on it. Then the keyboard will works again when you given it a space bar. Is this another bug for Note 2??
Anyone please advice.
Thanks
I use Swype in my Galaxy S4 Active (comes for free) and I have a customized dictionary with my own words. I like it so much I bought the app for my Note 8.0 (on sale for $0.99).
However, I found out that Swype TOOK OVER the S-Pen feature and host of other stuff, such as:
- NO button to switch to other keyboard, including S-Pen
- DISABLE automatic switch to S-Pen handwriting when the pen is detached
- DISABLE Google text-to-speech and replaced it with Swype own voice recognition.
Do you guys see the same thing, even with other replacement keyboard such as Swiftkey?
UPDATE: I downloaded Swiftkey (FAOTD from Amazon) and it does the same thing - the S-Pen handwriting pop-up is DISABLED. I.e. I can no longer do handwriting recognition.
Unless someone can chime in, I think I can safely concludes that MOST of the popular keyboard replacement app DISABLE a lot of S-Pen and Voice functionality on the Note 8.0.
Kinda suck because the Samsung Keyboard, with swipe capability, is not as robust as Swiftkey or Swype.
I am on the same boat... except I am on AOSP rom...
Wish there was a Swiftkey + S-Pen keyboard. I want the handwriting recognition.
EDIT: Actually I found this! no need for the default Samsung Keyboard now!

Swype has it's own inbuilt handwriting recognition
it is be the pen button, 3rd from left in bottom row
current keyboard can be changed during writing via notification icon, although it's not very convenient

Swype also replace Google Voice recognition button with their own, which sucks because I prefer Google's.

I'm obviously a bit slow on this. I have the paid Swiftkey Tablet keyboard set as default but don't really understand the issue. Can someone please tell me how to test this stuff out? If I have the keyboard open and pull out the pen the keyboard closes and SNote pops out. Also, my voice recognition prompted from the keyboard appears to be Google. What am I not doing that you guys are to test?

I am not talking about S-Note, but the S-Pen input function. Once you selected Swiftkey, the ONLY way to have the S-Pen input shows up is to do this:
1). Swipe down on the notificaiton bar and select the Input method (you'll see a small keyboard icon)
2). Select Samsung Keyboard
3). Select S-Pen input
For Google Voice recognition, I only see Swype's own, called Dragon, not Google Voice recognition.
PS: This is not the Google Voice app, which is used for phone and SMS functions.
If you are rooted... look up S Pen Board Switcher... I am using that app on my Note 8.0 AOSP rom.
What it does is, when you remove your S Pen it will switch to which ever keyboard when the S Pen is out... and switch back to the which ever keyboard you want when the Pen is in.
So in my case... I use Swiftkey Tablet and Stylus (Beta). So when I pull out my S Pen, the keyboard automatically goes to Stylus (Beta) (which gives me handwriting recognition like Samsung's Keyboard, but much better). And when my S Pen is in the slot, it switches back to Swiftkey Tablet keyboard for my fingers to type on.

Have installed Hacker's keyboard & prefer it as it is more like a real keyboard with a numeric top row & arrow keys & escape key. Cannot change the default keyboard even if the settings claim that it did; even disabled the Google keyboard & it still won't be done.
With the Google keyboard, even changed the advanced setting to allow different input method & selected Hacker keyboard BUT the Google keyboard remain stuck.
Interesting thing is that I have the System Panel installed as the task manager; the SP showed/named the Google keyboard as an ASUS keyboard! Gather it is the same but does the name change mean that the ASUS keyboard is hard coded somewhere?
Read popup keys can't be done on the tablet but I just want to use the Hacker's keyboard if it can be done on the Nexus 7. Am using the Hacker's keyboard on 3 other tablets.......
I use Hacker's Keyboard on my Nexus 7 with no problems. Make sure that it's selected as your default input method, and tap-and-hold in a text input area so the Input Method box pops up, then select Hacker's Keyboard.

THANKS! I've only used the Hacker's keyboard in landscape mode on the Tab 2 & the A700 & Nook HD+ have a larger screen so that the numeric keys showed up in portrait mode. Your reply of using a keypress worked with doing it on the keyboard as it popped up the numerics & when in the numerics a long keypress popped up what one would get when doing a shift+numeric key as in the "&".
Guess I didn't try hard enough & should have tried both portrait & landscape mode for keyboard visualization. I am at that age that is quite cluttered & maybe solidified so ideas have a hard time to sink in.
is there any apk for samsung keyboard with numeric button on topside, like keyboard for s6 or note5 ?
Try Swype or Swiftkey. They should have this function.
Need to use Function key using Samsung Tas S4 in either desktop or DX mode. The keyboard layout does not have Function key, especially F11. Can someone please guide me how to achieve that?
Thanks
