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.

Just wanted to post this to let everyone know. There's a new app on the market called Null Keyboard by darken. Its simply a blank kb to give a full screen view, perfect for bluetooth keyboards. Also has a widget to quickly switch the active keyboard. Most importantly dev is amazing! Had a small problem and he had it fixed and uploaded in under 2 hours.

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 am aware of the keyboard shortages when it comes to auto correct. But does anyone know what happened to thw built in spell checker (red squiggly lines) within apps I had on my galaxy nexus?

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

Curious, has anyone found a solution to this problem?
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.

When I used my bluetooth keyboard on my Nexus 7 or use it on my smartphone, it usually does not have the on-screen keyboard pop-up. On the Nexus 7, there was an input method which at least allowed to hide the on-screen keyboards entirely if I recall correctly. Even still, if Iwas using the Swiftkey or any other keyboard app, the keys wouldn't apear, just usually the predictions. Is this usually how it is because I do not see an option to change it.

When you attach an external keyboard, there's usually a pop up tip that instructs you to set the input method to Samsung Keyboard. This is supposed to help against that popping up when you use the external hardware keyboard. I just tested on my non-rooted Note 8 and it works that way.
Also if you're rooted, there's an app I use on my other devices called "external keyboard helper", which suppresses the keyboard from popping up as well in this situation.
It tells me to set it to that option, but its not available for some reason. The on-screen keyboard doesn't appear unless I tap twice thought so its not too annoying fortunately. Thanks for your reply though!
