So whenever I type I get a keyboard in my notification area asking me to choose an input method, im using the samsung keyboard, and it annoys me that it is there.
I'm also not fond of how the quick punctuation works.
Im wondering if anyone has suggestions for a lockscreen that doesnt require me to hit ok when I enter a pin either, I realize its a small thing, but I just dont like having to hit ok.

the input method thing in the notification area is a feature introduced by google in jelly bean, its not a samsung thing.

Devs/XDA buddies,
I have tried looking with no success(Forgive me if I have overlooked). I am looking for a custom keyboard (like GB's) with swipe but with the English/Spanish button removed and the swipe tutorial removed. With these two buttons removed it would make an awesome space bar. It seems like I am all the time hitting the period or comma in error. I have tried some other keyboards from the market and they are a little odd for me.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

not really sure but i use better keyboard when i do use my screen as a keyboard bought it a while ago but dont know if it has swipe functions like swype does. have you tried to look in the settings menu to remove these languages? i dont use swype nor do i really like the default layout but i am sure there is a fix for your discomfort. there are other keyboards in the market that offer some sort of swype-like functions!

Thanks for your help.. I have went through all the settings.. There is a setting that even ask you what you want for your primary language.. If you chose that option it still has the button enabled. Usually to get to the keyboard settings you can long press the English/Spanish button to get to your lang settings..same with the tutorial button. There is a setting to disable it but it still works. hehe.. But yeah i am still in search for a decent keyboard even if i have to sacrifice swype..
gb keyboard is nice although i dont know if it has a swipe function but yeah, np, check out the market and have fun experimenting! If you're like me i just download all that i think might be the one and definitely delete the ones that prove no purpose or have memory leak bugs or any bugs i prefer not to work around!
Go keyboard has swype and a nice sized spacebar. That might suit your needs.

Thanks for your advise.. Been trying to use the Go keyboard for a couple days. The interface is lovely. Tried using the swype and its terrible. I am still looking though for a nice new keyboard..
I cannot figure out how to turn on auto complete for the Samsung Keyboard. I have looked through the options and I dont see a setting for it.
I like the keyboard because it has the number keys along the top and the one handed mode is nice.
Are there any other keyboards that will display the numbers at the top? I cannot find a way to do it with SwiftKey, Swipe, or the stock JB keyboard. I realize the one handed mode would be more difficult to find in a 3rd party keyboard and is not as important.

Predictive text is on
Continous input is checked but is option is greyed out so it cannot be changed. The continous input does not seem to work... It is supposed to be like swipe, right?
What about auto correct? words dont correct themselves for me, i downloaded the stock jb keyboard from the market and that auto corrects words but it looks huge on the note 2
Yeah, when I said Auto Complete, I guess i meant Auto Correct. I get word suggestions at the top of the keyboard but I have to click them to get them to be used. They don't just automatically get inserted when I hit the space bar and it wont automatically correct stuff like "thats" to "that's"
I looked through the internation GN2 forumns and found this

looks like its just missing as a feature. Call it a bug whatever, sux...
Any suggestions for keyboards that allow you to have the number buttons along the top as well as having auto complete/correct?

mine didn't do this with the galaxy s3 either... predictive text sucks I don't want to have to press the word I want every time. Swift keyboard was awesome on the s3 but like you I want to keep the numbers at the top
Yes this has really bothered me! I can't believe it won't auto correct...I went back to swiftkey 3 but had to come back to the default samsung keyboard because having those numbers at the top is just too good to let go...I hope this gets fixed in an update :/
So I'd like to use apex launcher instead of the stock TW jedi launcher. I tried, and I end up having spen difficulties. When pulling it out, I don't get a shortcut pop up like I'm used to. Any way to fix that?
Also, I hate the keyboard. I'm so used to SwiftKey that I don't want to switch over, but I really do make use of the handwriting recognition.
Halp!

The stock keyboard *is* Swiftkey. Turn on "Predictive text" in the keyboard settings, and then click on the words "Predictive text" to get to the Swiftkey learning screen (learn from Gmail, FB, Twitter - it always learns from SMS). Kinda hard to find, but the stock keyboard works as Swiftkey for word prediction afterwards.
Also, if you use handwriting recognition a lot, from the keyboard setings, press on the word to "Handwriting" and try changing the "Recognition type" setting from the default "Stroke recognition" to "Complete recognition." You may find the "Complete" recognition much easier to use; I did.
The problem is, the stock keyboard isn't autocorrecting words. It'll provide suggestions of correct words, but it won't do anything if I'm off by even one letter. I can't seem to find a setting for this either. That's really the only thing preventing me from using it.
Ah, true, sorry. I can't find it either. I always had that option disabled in SwiftKey so I didn't notice that the option was missing.
I'm pretty quick to type so I always get typos lol. I don't even know why Samsung would even implement a keyboard without auto correction...

I assume your refering to Page Buddy. It a feature of TW and won't come up if your running another launcher.
You can go into settings>S Pen and click "Open Popup Note" it note will pop up when the S Pen is removed.
Hope that helps.
Yes I figured out the pagebuddy dilemma, guess I'll just add the widget if I really needed it.
As far as keyboards go, I still want to be able to use handwriting recognition, but that option isn't available in the standard SwiftKey as a toggle/button on the bottom like it is in the Samsung keyboard. I wish the Samsung keyboard would just have auto correction like all the others out there..

I'm in the same boat. I like SwiftKey, but it takes a lot of the functionality out of the S-pen. The stock keyboard isn't horrible, and the predictive type is actually pretty good, but it's not SwiftKey. The other negative is that SwiftKey predictions don't show up in notes, which ends up making it worse than stock.
What I would love is some kind of version of SwiftKey that allows for handwriting recognition.
I just wish I could make a space bar insert the correction on the stock keyboard. I like the number row, but am used to just pounding through typos.

I feel so antiquated. I still opt for t9 input over almost anything else.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

Haha, I can't even type with t9 anymore, I just tried lol.
I wish we could just get a keyboard with handwriting recognition...Samsung, what the hell were you thinking by not having simple autocorrect?
Hi All,
Just switched from S4 to the ONE. Everything is great except for one thing that I've noticed. I don't mind the stock keyboard, but I prefer Swype a lot better. I installed Swype and chose it as default keyboard, however, upon reboot, the keyboard switched back to the stock keyboard. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, how did you fix this issue and choose the default keyboard as there is no option under settings and Language and Keyboards
I also had this problem and it looks like Swype is aware of it and are looking for the fix...
In the mean time.. After the reboot, open any method of typing ( I use the txt message window to any recent contact ) and once the keyboard is displayed, pull down the bar from the top (that has the time stamp). You will see a Choose input method box. Click on it and Select the Swype - Swype + Dragon option and you are back up and running. Happy swyping.
I switched to the Google keyboard because this was annoying me about Swype. I think the Google keyboard is actually better at swiping in general... Except punctuation. I also use "*" often and it's buried on the Swype keyboard.

First select the keyboard of your choice, disable fast boot (settings, power) reboot, check that you still have the desired keyboard, enable fast boot. It should persist after that.
Does anyone know if we can access the note 8's keyboard dictionary to edit it and if so how do I get to it?
I don't see anything in settings like most keyboards.
life is better with r00t
I might be missing something too... but my biggest irritation with this tablet is its compulsive auto correct. I often find it'll change my word... So I go back and edit it, press space for the next word and damn it! It's been auto corrected again! F*ck you! Leave my spelling alone!
Anyone know how to adress this issue?

Samsung keyboard settings: disable Predictive Input
Hmm... but that disables predictive input entirely.
What I'm looking for, is that suggested words come up, but they aren't auto-corrected.... in other words, it leaves my spelling as is unless I actually select the suggested word.

Can't find such option in Samsung keyboard. If you are willing to switch, Swype has separate options for suggestions and autocorrect.

Swype has it's own handwriting recognition, never tested so don't know if it's better or not.
It is also possible to keep Swype as normal keyboard and Samsung handwriting for pen input - in one of the threads here someone suggested an app which automatically switches default keyboard upon pen removal, alas don't remember it's name.

I'm trying out Swype right now. Swyping is fast and accurate, and the Dragon dictation is nice, but the handwriting recognition sucks (poor recognition and predictability), IMHO. I don't find it much of a hassle to switch between it the Samsung and Google keyboards (due a glitch in the return key not working) by pulling down the the notification bar and chasing input method.

found it:
[App][Root] SPenBoardSwitcher 2 - Changing keyboards depending on the S-Pen Position:
Have you ever wanted to use a certain keyboard for normal use, and a different one for the S-Pen! This will ease your life.
- When the service is running, the pen's position is detected and the keyboard is switched to the learned or pre-defined one (depending on the mode).
- The service runs quietly and efficiently. No popups, no interventions.
- Support for starting on boot
- Service supports two modes:
Learning mode: Tries to detect the keyboard you use in each pen position, stores the detected keyboard, and uses it the next time you take your pen off, or return it to its place.
Fixed Mode: The service only uses the keyboards you chose inside the application, even if you use another keyboard for a short time, when the pen's position, the keyboard is reverted back to the ones you chose.
app in post #2, there's also donate version in Play Store
