I noticed the lack of autocorrect aswel.
I got sick of the stock keyboard after 3 days so i'm now back to using Swiftkey 3.
I'll just use the notification pull down to swap to stock for handwriting if i need it.
Sure, but changing the keyboard does not bring the sqigly line spell check feature back.

It looks like the ICS default android spellchecker (the one with red underline and dropdown suggestions) has been disabled by Samsung. (Not present on my wife's 10.1 tablet or my 3GS) and I can't find it anywhere on my new note II.
I am not looking for alternates, ( and can confirm the ICS spellchecker is not a function of 3rd party keyboards) I use thumbs keyboard and it's a pity good, but I have become accustomed to the ICS default spellchecker on my other android devices.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to activate it on a Samsung device?
Just out of interest does anyone have a good reason to remove (as opposed to just disabling it) it like Samsung has?
Ughh... I am curious too. I wish Samsung just left android the way it is. Or at least stop disabling features

I see the suggestions but when I press the space bar it wont insert the suggested word. I have looked everywhere to turn this on. Any ideas? This is the Sprint version.
It doesn't work on any Note 2 at the moment, not your fault or any config that you can change.

Wow, that is pretty bad. I tried to use just a stock Jellybean kb and had issues with enter key on the email app.
What other keyboards are you guys using? I hate swype... thanks!
I use SwiftKey 3.

It's a bit painful, that, since so many good things are tied to the Samsung keyboard (Handwriting recognition, floating keyboard in multiscreen, one-handed mode, and parts of Swiftkey for that matter).

I recommend swift key 3 until Samsung gets it out. In fact I recommend it over the Samsung keyboard. But from what I read the new Samsung keyboards are based on swift key. Is that right?

This is annoying... I hope their is a fix for this
The more I use the keyboard, the more I like it. There are pros and cons to having the spacebar auto correct. I do agree that they should make it an option though but after a couple of days with the Note 2 keyboard I find that I have less errors and am almost typing just as fast as SwiftKey. If you stick with the Samsung keyboard, you will get better at it.
Plus the numbers at the top and the pen input is too hard to give up. The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion.

TouchPal is a good keyboard too. And it's free!
Samsung has purposefully left it out. Your keyboard is fine. Although it would have been nice if Samsung had actually included the option to enable or disable auto correct. I use the Jelly Bean Pro keyboard from the Play Store. But I switch to the Samsung one if I am using Multi Window functionality.

Handwritten from my Galaxy Note II
The Hong Kong stock firmware keyboard I loaded a couple weeks back did perform autocorrect but the performance was so iffy (guessing the same incorrect word over and over rather than learning from prior corrections being the biggest issue) that I moved back to SwiftKey. I'm bummed about losing easy handwriting and the number row but as a whole I'm happier with the Swiftkey.
Some others stated that they got used to the stock keyboard without autocorrect but after a week+ on the English keyboard I decided it wasn't worth it.

Totally agree with this!!
It might be worth everyone giving Ultra Keyboard a try from the play store. It does Google voice typing, better swiping than the stock keyboard and allows a permanent number row. Also has long press secondary characters. The only thing you give up is the handwriting but for me that is infrequent enough that I'm prepared to switch keyboards just for when I need it.

Does anyone think we will get the autocorrect back?
Not really sure why people think that the SwiftKey devs did any meaningful work with the Note II keyboard. In my opinion, it is garbage in comparison and offers no basic functionality beyond SwiftKey 3. It's a real shame you lose S pen support using an alternative keyboard. Do you really prefer the default keyboard? There is no way I can write anywhere as fast as I can text with basic SwiftKey 3. Thoughts?

The one thing I love about the stock keyboard is the 4th row number keys. Wish I could get that on swift key.

+1... exactly what I think...
Yes, the number row counts for something, no doubt, but when I'm wailing away at the keyboard, it is normally to hit letter keys, and not numbers, as good as it is. Simiarly, there are obvious benefits to a hardware querty keyboard, but will few will buy one despite the utility. Now, I say this as someone who doesn't spend a great deal of time working in spreadsheets. Something like that is something I could imagine skipping plain SwiftKey for. What do you use a number row for?

I dont think you get it. Moving the special characters onto an additional row of keys, so I dont have to toggle to another keyboard +being able to hit the numbers on the same screen +swype on the same keyboard... all adds up. Now, if I could change two things; spacebar to autocorrect and being able to edit the keyboards user dictionary, that would be perfection.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Yes, that's what I'm talking about, the space bar and the auto complete/correct. To me, that IS SwiftKey. If I have to reach up for every word, that is not swift and I could definitely do without it. Considering what you said, if the only influence that SwiftKey had in the Samsung keyboard is the "learning" phase, how is it learning anything if you have to select your words manually and can't change the dictionary?
Before I had the Note 2 I used swift key on all my phones. However with the Note I've been using Swype for the 1st time and love it. So much so I've removed swift key. Swype is nice when you're one handing this beast and is the only reason I even tried using it in the 1st place. I've also found it to be really intuitive. Once swift key have their version of Swype up and running I'll give it another shot.

So I have started trying to learn the Swype keyboard. So far it feels like more of a gimmick than a see serious attempt to make a dent in the keyboard market, but I am open to accepting my inexperience as a important factor.Do you guys find you are actually faster with this keyboard? I do plan on continuing to practice day to day, and I accept that I may have spoken to soon.

I still prefer to type with both hands, then again, I find the stock samsung keyboard good enough that it's my daily driver (although i wish the auto correct kicks in automatically... I don't have time to type and then click on the auto correct, just auto correct when i move to the next word).
I only use the swipe keyboard when i'm using 1 handed or the s pen as regular typing should be done with 2 hands. I did come from a sensation so, i was used to their trace keyboard

I had the same problem not liking the lack of space bar for autocorrect until I realized it was the same distance to hit the autocorrected word vs the spacebar. Once I broke that habit swiftkey and swype were forgotten about. Typing on mispelled words to autocorrect em has been nice on the stock sammy keyboard.

Once I became comfortable with Swype I found that I'm much faster and proficient with it than finger pecking. It took me about a day to really start liking it. Prior to the Note 2 I never used Swype, I also viewed it as a gimmick. Now I absolutely love it!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
The new swiftkey function with the spacebar seems nice, just wish they would separate the number keys at the top like on the stock keyboard. Once the new swiftkey comes out I will probably give it a try again.
I've noticed that there are places where the Swype keyboard isn't inserting spaces after words, such as in the dolphin browser. Is this a glitch or just me?

Does anyone have suggestion for a keyboard that autocorrects? (maybe the stock android keyboard?) I'm running Jedi but the autocorrect doesn't automatically replace the mis-spelled words I have to manually click on the suggestion, and it doesn't come with the stock keyboard.

Stock aosp keyboard is the way to go. Google android 4.2 keyboard apk and just install it like any other app.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Another option would be SwiftKey 3 which is on sale right now. I was a little bit hesitant to buy a keyboard when the stock one was so good. However, the auto correct was a big deal for me. You're right in that the others have to be manually selected. Even more so, if you accidentally start the word with a number, it then has no idea. However, with SwiftKey, everything is good to go. I am actually able to type without even looking. Part of this is due to skill at typing in general but the rest of it is how amazingly accurate the correction is. Just my two cents.

SwiftKey is a great keyboard and time saver. Been using it since the original beta.

Swiftkey is great and its prediction is near telepathic once you've used it a while and it learns from you. I have been using Swiftkey Flow lately and I like having the option to "swype". The only gripe I have is that there is no separate line for numbers. Having to long-press or change the layout to numerical really slows things down, especially at work.
4.2 keyboard.
Hypothetically speaking, if one found a keyboard they liked but the only thing missing was swype, could a developer rebuild the app to include it? I'm really liking A.I.type keyboard but no swype capability is a bummer. Just curious.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Anything is possible, though I would think that's too much work to reverse engineer something that's already available on the play store and fits 99% of people's needs.
As it turns out, while using the keyboard the app prompted me to leave feedback and of course I told them it was awesome but would love to see swype integrated and they actually emailed me last night and told me they were currently working on putting it in. :thumbup:

I really like the stock keyboard but I like the layout options they have on theirs. I can put up the "period" key, "comma" key, smiley face, mic key, and numbers keys all at the same time without needing any of them to be long press keys. You can also adjust the keyboard height from the keyboard itself without going into settings. It seems to be a lot more convenient to use the keyboard this way.

hey everyone,
i've noticed that in some (most actually) apps, when in landscape mode and bringing up the keyboard (it happens on all keyboards ive tried: swiftkey, swiftkeyflow, kii, keymonk and samsung stock) instead of bringing up the keyboard and displaying the app you're in in whats left of the screen, the keyboard comes up with a white text input display, allowing you to see only the text you enter, without its context in the application you're in.
this can be troublesome in apps that combing typing and drawing, such as lecturenotes or any other natural handwriting note taking app you know.
has anyone found a way to overcome this issue?
try swype, my man

I've tried all my writing apps and none of them do that. What app are you using? I have tried it with both the stock keyboard and the Hackers Keyboard.

Is anyone still thinking about this? I also find this quite annoying, also because it is different from app to app and also from Rom to Rom. I get the right results on most tw roms, but not on AOSP or CM10.1, where it differs from app to app. Changing dpi doesn't solve the issue.
I read that thumb keyboard has an option to suppress fullscreen windows, but I use swype.
I use the Note I, but this is not device-specific. No work-around?

Actually on most aosp roms there's an option to disable full screen keyboard on landscape. However, I have never heard of this option on touchwiz roms, people keep suggesting keyboards but non of them work. I believe this requires modification in the root directory.
