I have been looking for the smilies key on the Samsung keyboard. Did they actually leave that out (Koreans never smile) or am I just missing it?

I don't know but I would sure like to know where keyboard files are and how to mod them. I personally use Swype and would like to have the "enter" key back on certain apps instead of that smiley button. I guess opposite as you but same files to change, I'm sure.
also, the Samsung keyboard has a long-press button that brings up the clipboard. anyone know how to add that button to other keyboards???
thanks.

The Samsung keyboard is an odd bird. Like so much Samsung software it just feels like they got about 80% done, hit a deadline and just quit development.
Yes S-Notes i am looking at you.

If youre in text messages, hit the menu button and you can enter smileys. I agree about the keyboard lol

As title states...just picked up my Note 2 today. Best phone I've ever owned hands down, but the spell correction is non existent...literally. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? I see the correct spelling as suggestions, but if I hit the space bar they are not chosen. Thanks in advance.

I didn't like it at the beginning either, but it sorta grows on me now. I like the feature that it predicts my next word if I type part of a phrase. Also I can type a few words without hitting space, and the keyboard can insert space between the words. That's really neat.

Try the swype keyboard that's pre-installed. It gives you the option to choose the correct word. Another step but I like the swype keyboard better. Give it a try.

Not a huge deal but very odd that if you type like normal, text just doesn't spell check...ever. It shows the right spelling above the keyboard, but won't automatically change to that word. I still think I'm missing something.

yeah same as OP i thought auto correct automatically would change the word for you but nope

Yes that is weird. But if you swype the word it will spell check it for you.

My experiences on keyboard accuracy. 1. Swype beta is fastest and most accurate with voice swyping. Much better than pre-installed Swype. HOWEVER s~ pen does not work at all. There is a microphone button. 2. Swype installed had no Mic button and short several features of the free beta...i guess s~ voice may cover that but haven't figured that our yet and too many steps when likely to use Mic.. 3. Samsung keyboard a good compromise but a compromise it is. Swyping less accurate, Mic button buried, voice recognition not as good as sywpe beta, s pen works well, no navigation like the beta, but I really like the always present number row. Now if Swype beta fixed the s~ pen problem and adds a number row it will be perfect. In the meanwhile i am compromising by using the Samsung keyboard.

Decided to go with SwiftKey... Seems to be better than anything I've used before. I'll stick with this a while.

This. I like it better. I sometimes text in Spanish, and the auto correct was a nightmare, also if you use abbreviations or slang words. I also like that I can put the cursor on a word I already wrote and it will give me the correct spelling. I have big fingers and hit the c or v key alot with the space bar, I can fix those mistakes easily now.
I want the Samsung keyboard from the note 1 on the note2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
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.

Like I said, if they can't get the basic functions, such as auto complete in there, it's not SwiftKey for me. Glad you love it the way it is.

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?

I know if you long press the mic button on the Samsung keyboard, you can select the clipboard from the pop up thing. is there a way to access the clipboard from the Swype keyboard?? maybe a Swype-key shortcut?
thanks

thanks... I knew about those, most of those, but no way to bring up the clipboard like on the Samsung keyboard?

I forgot about Swype-T That's a handy shortcut, thanks!
Another nice one: When the cursor is in a word, Swype-shift gives you capitalisation options.
I've definitely brought up the clipboard a few times accidentally when using Swype, I think when going from the Swype key. I dunno if it's a bug or 'undocumented feature'. Either way, I just wish I could choose when it appeared!

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.

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.

First of I'm using the original Samsung keyboard that comes on the phone. Sometimes when I go to type using the swipe like feature all my words run together like this (hellotherewhattimeisit) with no spaces at all and other times it will type correctly. . I haven't figured out what causes this and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.
Thanks in advance

My guess is that it has to do with the field you are typing in. For example the browser address bar wouldn't need spaces between the words.
As mr_wrong_0 states. This depends which input field you are writing in. The latest Swift Flow Beta is said to behave better.
This happens in the default messaging app. Sometimes It runs together and sometimes it doesn't.

Have you accidentally saved hashtags to your dictionary on the keyboard?
Use the Kii Keyboard. It's by far the best one out there and the swype feature is far more accurate and smoother than any other.
