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?
I love SwiftKey because of the amazing auto correct, arrow keys, and swiping to delete a word. I type very well on my phone thanks to the program.
However, since I am not using the stock keyboard, I don't think I can do cool stuff with my pen like write a handwritten text message.
Anyone else sticking to SwiftKey or are folks using the stock keyboard?

I alternate between both. I love SwiftKey but I can't do one handed typing. That's why I also still use the Samsung keyboard. If only it had auto correct. Oh well.

Can you edit the dictionary for your own words or delete words you don't use?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
I used to use Switftkey, but since I have a Note 2, I use the samsung keyboard, because it can learn my often used words same like switftkey.
If you see the options in "Predictive Text" in Samsung keyboard is almost the same with the "Personalization" menu in Swiftkey.
The only thing I miss is the cursor key option in Switfkey is not available in Samsung keyboard
Used to, but moved to stock

When i had my s2, i used swiftkey, but since i got my note 2 Ive been using the stock keyboard because it has swipe and swiftkey features built in.
Always used swype in the past but when I got the gn2 I loved the stock keyboard too much to change. ..
Great swype function and number pad. Tried SwiftKey but wasn't that impressed.

I use SwiftKey in the day and swype after 10pm at night. Reason being at night I normally like to spend some time playing with the phone, reading forums while lying in bed b4 sleeping. Swype is better for this case.
I have a tasker profile that automatically changes input to SwiftKey in the morning and swype at night.

I used to swap between Swiftkey and the Swype beta on my Galaxy S and Note 1.
But I've just been using the stock keyboard on the Note 2 because it is almost like Swiftkey and Swype combined.
I just hate that the Samsung keyboard is so big. I occasionally still switch to Swiftkey when I want to see more of the screen.
The Swiftkey and Swype keyboard take up a lot less screen space. I can't wait for Swiftkey flow.

Lol. cause at night I'll be lying on the bed, holding the phone up using one hand. so it's easier to Swype with the other. It's not possible to type using 2 hands in this manner.

Sorry cause I usually like to type using both hands. Swype is not very conducive for that. Only reason I use Swype at night is because I cannot type with both hands while lying down and holding the phone above me.
SwiftKey. For clarification, Samsung calls it's version of Swype "Swiftkey", so that camelcasing is more important than ever in this thread.
SwiftKey is the only app I've ever purchased. I used the trial and could not go back to any other keyboard after that. I do wish it had the option for a row of numbers, like the Samsung keyboard does. That's really convenient, and on a phone this size not a hindrance.

I understand now! Makes perfect sense!
Well, i tried the Samsung Keyboard with swipe feature and it sucked. Punctuation was difficult to say the least. However, i did like the number keys always up there.
Back to giving Android Keyboard another go now...
Overall, Swype Beta seems the easiest when trying to type really fast, but formats funky on the screen sometimes.
I'm hoping the next version of Android Keyboard is improved. It also won't show you word suggestions for previous words, which is just stupid..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
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.

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.

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.

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?

+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.

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!

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 love the Swype keyboard dint get me wrong but have found that it's space bar is way to small and half the the time I end accidentally hitting the comma or period symbol. I might also email Nuance regarding this issue and see what they can advise or do about it

It automatically inserts space when you're swyping right? If you're not swyping, might as well try out other keyboards.
Disable Dragon and handwriting, it'll make the spacebar a little wider.
If you've a feature request, then go to Swype forum, and post accordingly. It'll get more attention then emailing.
