Hello, I've had my new Note 2 for about 3 days now, absolutely loving it. Just curious if anyone else has noticed that SwiftKey 3 Keyboard does not have text prediction in S Note. Is there any way to enable it? Also curious if it's possible to have the keyboard switch to the Stock Keyboard when the S Pen is pulled out so I can use the handwriting recognition. That would be really awesome. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Bump, any ideas?

I use SwiftKey 3 and the prediction works fine with snote.

I think you will find that it just doesn't work in some places... online forums being one of those places. Does it work in your text and email?

Yes, it works everywhere else I'd expect it to, just not in S Note.

Try renaming LatinIME.apk to LatinIME.apk.bak in system/app, so now Swiftkey is the only and primary keyboard. It could also be named as SamsungIME.apk, i`am on CM10 right now
I don't have a LatinIME.apk in my system folder.

Try SamsungIME.apk.
OK, I tried renaming the SamsungIME.apk, but I'm still not seeing any text prediction with SwiftKey Keyboard in S Note. And now I don't have the Samsung keyboard to use handwriting recognition. So I changed it back.
So everyone else who uses SwiftKey doesn't have this problem in S Note?
Just had a go at typing text into S Note using Swiftkey 3, and as said, i have no prediction.
Oh this is odd. Prediction is working on a pop up note with snote (like when you remove the pen) but not if I open snote manually and start a blank note.

I nor any of my friends can seem to get the official installer past the "parsing package" error. Was wondering if anyone else had better luck with it.
Thanks
Edit: We have a couple of members who have extracted the apk and posted it here. (check this post)
Despite hundreds of complaints on Swype's side, they refuse to neither rectify nor even acknowledge that there's a real problem. In any case, XDA is here to help you.
As per Swype's licensing, only download said APKs if you are currently in the Swype beta program.
Enjoy
mine worked. I know of a couple friends with the same problem though.
Had that error a few times, changed over to 3G connection and worked fine.
I've tried both connections multiple times and am still getting parsing errors

Ditto. I gotta see what I could do about extracting an APK to just install it directly.

i found a link on the swype forums to the apk in someones dropbox but after installing it, the keyboard is tiny (useless!) so i've uninstalled.

have the same problem u described when i downloaded the installer apk through the email link. so i went back to my prev phone and took the backup from titanium and installed it. take note of the following though:
1. if u restore both the swype installer and swype keyboard, the keyboard would end up being very small. changing orientations didn't seem to help like what others have suggested.
2. the trick is to restore only the installer. login to the installer and let it download the keyboard. you would then have a full working swype keyboard. however, this keyboard doesn't seem to be the latest one. it's slightly different from what I had on my Desire HD just before i changed over to the S3 (the button to toggle language inputs is on 'z' and not at the bottom row). the version numbers are different as well.
hope the above helps

When it first shows up its tiny, but while the keyboard is open flip it to landscape, then back to portrait and it will be better! Better in that it will be full width of screen, but still a bit shorter than other keyboards. But I still prefer it over others.

For downloading the UK language go in to Swype settings and language preferences, download languages then English UK wait for downloading then activate....

I don't know about you, but I can type a lot faster the hole words with 2 fingers compared to swiping.
Thanks Guy's
I will download swype when i figure out to flash a custom recovery on this phone.
(Its soo hard) Compared to my other samsung phone
It's so confusing with all the drivers and stuff. I wish i could just use ODIN because that's 100% easier.
I've never used swype, I don't know what features it offers, apart from ummmmm, swyping(?) but I'm using this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cootek.smartinputv5&hl=en
Has the same type of thing, sliding your finger to write, and other features. I like it, find it good, but as i say I've never used swype, so can't compare. Sliding does take a bit of getting used to though...

you just have to practice. If you try and be super precise with Swype, you wind up losing a lot of time compared to just tapping everything out and letting the spell check handle it. Swype is certainly not perfect but I've been using it for about a year now and the only reason I go back to the aosp keyboard is the terminal, Swype acts weird on it...

Ok, how?
It would be personal preference if you ask me. I've tried all the ones that are offered on the Android store and still keep going back to Swype. The keyboard is great but the best feature that I find is that you can totally mess up a word and 9 times out of 10 Swype will pick the correct word or give you a choice of words with the word you were trying to type being 1st or in the first row of choices.
Installation is easy, just go to the website and follow there instructions, its a total walk through. :good:
Had Swype on my old Epic and my wife's LG Optimus S when she had it. Tried it again last night on my GNex and I can honestly say I like the stock keyboard better.
Like the previous poster stated......persoal preference.

I have used swype for a few months now, and i just cant use the normal keyboard again!!! Once when I was installing a custom ROM, i faced a problem with the installation of swype, and I just stopped msging or chatting with anyone that day!!
and I can even swype without even looking at the screen now!!
But in my opinion, u can't do the same on a normal keyboard coz u cant feel the keys!!

Swype is good at spell correct but Swiftkey does predictions better than anyone. So while you are swyping all your letters, I just type one or two and hit space

i must have different Swype because mines all jacked up...had been for a while. Basically since flashed jb. Anyone have a better apk than the Swype site

+1 Swipping! I've been using it since the Windows Mobile 6 ages (HTC Touch Pro) and I can't use no other keyboard since then.
All about preference. I used to use swype beta, but have been using SwiftKey 3 for months and haven't looked back. That said, swiping is great, but I rarely type more than two letters before SwiftKey predicts my word.

Newest Swype beta worked fine for me on 4.1 but I got rid of it as I'm actually more use to the stock keyboard now.

My wife misses the auto correct of the iPhone. Does Android have something as comparable, besides the predictive text? The predictive text was just totally messing up her sentences. It doesn't seem to work as good as iPhone. So I assume I'm missing something.
The default keyboard with predictive text is pretty bad. Download SwiftKey 3 Keyboard from the Google Play Store. It will cost you, but trust me, it's worth it.

Agree with above. SwiftKey is a must.
Are you guys talking about the Samsung keyboard?
That is terrible, but the jellybean keyboard is really good in predicting your words, so I'd recommend trying to get that.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Another recommendation for SwiftKey. You can type a whole book without ever using the space bar. they let you try it before you buy. 30 day trial I think. Good stuff.
Redundant by now, but yeah, go SwiftKey. You could literally mess up every letter of every word and you would never know lol.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I downloaded SwiftKey for the auto correction feature but still run into issues where (even) SwiftKey knows I spelled a word wrong but will not auto append it to the correct word its predicting. Is there a setting that I am not seeing somewhere as I've been through all the menu's (both native and 3rd party input settings)?
Thanks, she was immediately impressed with the new one.

No problem, that's what we are here for!!
Try Swype beta from the Swype web site.It's not available in the app market. It's predictive text is spot on most of the time and its easy to fix the mistake if it made one.

I usually like to stick with stock keyboards that come with my phone but the samsung keyboard auto correct is garbage. For me at least. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a decent keyboard? Thanks
A lot of people like Swiftkey.
I have used Google Keyboard for years. It doesn't have all the useless "features" some of other keyboards do, but it's quick and it works.
I have tried others such as Swiftkey, but they always end up annoying the crap out of me, so I go back to Google Keyboard.
I have preferred how Swype works for years. None are perfect, each has quirks and pro's and con's. Swype is the best overall for my tastes to date however.
I haven't tried swiftkey or Swype in about 2-3 years. I guess ill try them out again.

I see that highly doubtful. I used to beta test for SwiftKey and their dictionary is pretty tightly sealed from what I recall. Plus getting it into Google Keyboard would be another obstacles. I've been using Google Keyboard exclusively as it works better on my 5X and it's pretty much learned most of my common words. I just miss the emoji and hashtag suggestions.
