So I downloaded swiftkey free version yesterday to test it out. Its nice but for some reason it is still on when I flip out into super-text/qwerty keyboard time. This makes using the qwerty impossible because swiftkey doesn't recognize the keys you type.
I think its probably a software glitch has anyone experienced this? I found the option to disable it when using hardware keyboards but it didn't help..
Thanks

You probably want to disable autocomplete for the hardware keyboard. There is a setting for this in the SwiftKey 3 settings menu Advanced section. With Hard Keyboard autocomplete disabled it works great.

I noticed that and had it disabled. I think the problem is that sometimes when I flip out the keyboard it starts with the alt button so when I type it is all symbols and such. Simple fix is just to press that button when flipping open the qwerty, slightly annoying b/c its sometimes and not always but not a big deal.
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.
Samsung keyboard seems broken to me.

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.

Well mine worked fine until yesterday. It corrects its to it's automatically. But it doesnt work anymore.
I dont know why it worked at first place then not working anymore..
Btw I updated language as soon as I booted phone up for the first time..

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?
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.

Ok this is driving me insane, does anyone know how to set android to disable the onscreen keyboard when you have a blutooth keyboard connected. My old HTC One S did it by default, so how would I do that on my S4? It seems to do it no matter what onscreen keyboard I use so I think it's a system setting somewhere.

It may be me but, does anyone else have a tough time using the keyboard on this phone. It seems to me it doesnt respond well to the "key press" and I dont have fat fingers. :laugh:
I just have issues with the autocorrect. Switched to stock Android keyboard and no more issues

I can't seem to get the handwriting to work. I take out the pen and switch to that when trying to write a response to a text message and it does nothing. I write the word and it doesn't translate it to text. It just sits there.
The handwriting aspect is bugged you need to uninstall the keyboard and reinstall it reboot device then it should work.
