I have always said I will not buy a tablet until they have a multitouch keyboard, because for me that is necessary for using a tablet. One key at a time and/or Swype will not cut it. I need to be able to type like my keyboard at home.
Please will someone port Droid X's keyboard and you will make a buyer out of me, and probably make my mananger and boss very happy.
(I work at sprint )
I'll put forth $5, :-\...sorry I can't do more alot of my money is going towards my server for Team Galaxy Sense
I think you will have to stick a few digits on the ebd before anyone will even take that request seriously. porting an IME is no trivial task.
Why do you need a kultitouch keyboard anyway? I cant see any posible usage scenario other than gaming and remote desktop.

I installed it on my Tab and the font on the keyboard was tiny
SmartKeyboard Pro supports multitouch. Apparently. http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/
Smart keyboard pro does it very well, and I'm pretty sure that better keyboard does too... I have them both on my vibrant...but I still keep coming back to swype... I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of my tab though so I can't report on how well they work on the tab, although I AM running the leaked 2.2 (obsidian) rom on my vibrant (same processor/ram/etc...), and they work very well on it. If you have a store demo you can install the free version of smart keyboard pro on it... The multi touch works, just not the user dictionary and some of the other customization features (like setting the long press duration...)

A multi touch keyboard lets you type faster... Your finger can still be touching a key when you hit the next one... Without multi touch, your finger had to be completely off of the last key before you can hit the next one... It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it makes a noticeable difference...

I'm extremely picky about this and it was the reason I ditched my HTC Incredible (it's shoddy multi-touch couldn't keep up with my typing...this has supposedly been fixed in later patches).
Nonetheless, I installed Smart Keyboard (I hate Better Keyboard) on my Tab, and it works flawlessly. I highly recommend it, it's inexpensive and you won't break bank on it.
lol - smartkeyboard pro ftw, use it on both my android devices after trying everything else
lots of options, many themes, great multitouch

2.2 should now support multitouch. But I don't get why that was a reason to ditch the incredible. Anyway, this hasn't been a issue for me and I can type pretty fast.

I have a Desire and I'm not sure if it's keyboard is multitouch (HTC IME Mod), but if it isn't then that would explain why I don't understand the need, but anything that lets me type faster is great, the two stock keyboards are utter rubbish.
Another vote for Smart Keyboard Pro. I have used it on both my Evo and G Tablet and it is the best.
Well, the default keyboard on my Tab does multitouch just fine. Only the Swype keyboard seems to lack multitouch when typing normally.

If I'm understanding right, then the default (not swype) keyboard lets me press a key and before removing my finger from it press another.
I believe this is the multitouch behaviour being requested and as such, assuming I am correct, I can also confirm this as working.
I'm surprised the standard Galaxy Nexus / ICS doesn't have a new line / enter key.
Are there any keyboards that are very similar to the stock keyboard, but instead of a smiley key it has an enter button?
I really need to use new lines in SMS messages. :C
Thumb keyboard is what I use on my tablet because its similar to stocks method of word correction but is more customisable in its layouts. I use stock on my nexus though.

Well swiftkeyX learns from the way you type, so if you end up typing any different way, it'll try to "push" you in the direction it expects you to be typing. You get a more narrowly focused autocorrect that helps for your every day 100 character tweets and SMS, but hurts in your forum posts (or other long form typing).
I still always wonder why people still use "tap" keyboards when there are swipe versions
I've personally used Swype on my last 3 Android phones and i can't envision me using anything else. It's so simple, accurate and bloody quick.

This.
I have used swype on my past few Android devices and was always SURE that it was 10x faster than any 'tap' keyboard could ever be. Upon the discovery of Swiftkey X however, I was proven very wrong. Swiftkey is incredible fast and accurate. Yes it needs optimization for the GNex but still, it's faster than anything out there at the minute.

I wanted to say something to this effect earlier. I tried swiftkey before swype and they're like chalk and cheese to me. Swype seems so much better.
I use ICS themed swype from here: http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/daswypethemes/
Swype is the best
I really dig SwiftkeyX. Predictions improved a lot when I linked it to my facebook and gmail accounts. Never could get the hang of swype but maybe I should give it another try.
I'd like to try swype for gnex. So where do you "download" it? Its not on the market place. I have slide it, which is garbage. Could someone put a link up for swype for the nexus?
Thanks guys.

hey there, this should be the latest...
but what you'll need to do is visit the swype beta page and sign up, you'll need your username and password and enter it when the app opens, this'll then download the GN version onto your phone then install the apk...

This is a strange one for me. When typing on the keyboard it doesn't automatically correct typos and mispellings. It does give you options to choose to correct while typing but it doesn't automatically select the correct word. I have yet to figure out how to make it select the correct word automatically. Any suggestions?
Wondering also...

on the market i used Jelly Bean Keyboard from VLLWP wich does it.
But it's a shame to install it on a already JB phone.

And with another keyboard we lose multi-screen functionality and handwriting recognition. We lose sooooo many features just to have this. Its hard to make that jump
You said it! But jump had to be made! Using perfecy keyboard, its very good. If auto correct was there I'd stay
Darn i thought i was just missing the setting lol.. The positive part of samsung's keyboard is you can select the word and correct it with two clicks. That is really nice. It does it much better than other keyboards.

Sadly you just have to switch keyboards.
The Samsung keyboard is the best. I've used Swiftkey and Swype but Samsung tops both. Prediction has become better over time than Swiftkey and I thought Swiftkey was fantastic. I can write almost whole messages just by using the predictive text. I like having the numbers at the top as well as almost everything I need on the front page. I can Swype if I want. Could use a theme.

what I dislike about the samsung keyboard is that symbols like @ and exclamation point, ect... you have to press the button on the right of the space bar then a pop up appears, then when you select the symbols you want, the pop up will not go unless you press somewhere on the screen or you press the arrow down button.

Samsung keyboard is made by swifkey, so the prediction it is the same, they only changed very few features
i am starting to like samsung keyboard as well. not as feature rich as swiftkey or swype individually but it beats both by being able to type and swype. plus the handwriting is quite nifty, it recognises my scribbles quite well and there's not need to change your handwriting too much to accomodate it. just scribble away!

I picked up my Note 2 today at a local sprint store. They were only given 5 and once I got mine they had 2 left. This was 20 minutes after they opened.
I have a couple questions and concerns reuarding the phone that im hoping someone can help me answer.
1. Is there a way to stop the volume from decreasing whenever i plug it into my car? The volume will always go down to half and its kind of annoying.
2. When using the keyboard to type messages, if i spell a word wrong and hit space it wont autocorrect it. Is this a feature Samsung left out? Im so used to it on my evo, i feel like i have to keep looking at what im writing to make sure i dont misspell something.
3. If im in the browser and zoom in on something it wont adjust to fit the page like the HTC EVO did. Is this also something samsung didnt include?
The main concern I have with the phone is the 3g data speeds. I am coming from the original Evo 4g and although Sprint isnt known to have the greatest speeds I never had a problem downloading an application. Today it took an hour to download myfitnesspal from the play store. I tested the speeds on speedtest.net and I was getting 33kbps down and 5kbps up. My girlfriend who also has an Original EVO 4g was getting 300kbps down and 170kbps up. Still not the greatest speed but alot better than what i was getting on the Note 2. Both phones were in the same spot and the same time. I did the test a number of times and always had the same outcome.
Thanks everyone. So far I am loving this phone and both the hardware and software are great!!
Word prediction will need to be enabled in your keyboard settings

Also maybe try installing a different browser for your auto alignment issues

That is due to one of the headphone options to limit the intensity of volume so it doesn't damage your ears. You'll find the option it in the sound settings, after you disable it in won't change your volume to half anymore.

I have a new Note 2, and I'm also new to Android, so I've been posting different things I encounter with the phone.
My experience with the keyboard is one of the things I posted, copied in here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The default Samsung keyboard on the Galaxy Note 2 is a sleeper.
Samsung included Swiftkey Flow, which allows gesture-based typing, like Swype. The more I use it the more I like it, and it has auto-suggest and auto-correct.
The number row at the top is pretty great, too, the large screen allows it all to fit. The auto-suggestions appear above the number row.
Samsung also included the handwriting keyboard, for the S-Pen. The handwriting recognition works really well, and I'm coming up to speed with it.
The main points to remember about the keyboards are these:
- auto-suggest and auto-correct function in both tapping and handwriting modes.
- in tapping mode the transition between tapping and gesturing is seamless, but if you try to use both modes within a word a space is automatically inserted.
- in tapping mode auto-correct functions only while using gestures. If you're tapping and not gesturing you have to choose among the suggestions instead of relying on auto-correct. I'm learning the cases where it's important to me to have auto-correct do its thing, like when typing "I'm". If I type it in in tapping mode, it ends up as "Im" unless I choose the auto-suggestion with the apostrophe. It's better instead to use gesture mode for "I'm" as the auto-correct will do the right thing and use the apostrophe. As I mentioned, the transition from tapping to gesturing is seamless.
- quick-punctuation and quick-capitalization functions are missing
completely. People who don't use gestures and people who've never spent time with an IOS keyboard ( and many who have ) don't get this.
I am starting to really like this keyboard. My only real gripes are the lack of auto-correct in tapping mode and the lack of quick-capitalization and quick-punctuation, but they are mitigated by long-presses.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Someone else mentioned in the thread the Jelly Bean Keyboard, and it really is an excellent keyboard, I discovered it with my Galaxy S3 and initially installed it on the Note 2. But I'm not willing to give up the handwriting recognition, so back to the stock keyboard I went.
The stock keyboard doesn't do everything, but it has its good points.
Cheers,
-John

I also came from the Evo4G, and the auto adjust feature you speak of is a HTC Sense feature. I noticed this early on after using others phones and tablets. Although a small feature for those that have had it and lost it we all know how big of a thing it really is. Still don't know why Google hasn't implemented this within current builds of Android yet.

Text/browser reflow after zooming(what the op is refering to on HTC phones...similar to word wrapping in excel lol) is patented by Apple. Samsung removed it from devices last year. HTC will eventually do so as well.
Its been all over the web for nearly 2 years...you are a smart guy you can find it
The only way to get it to work on samsung phones is to, after zooming in to the size that you want, you have to double tap the screen an additional time to enable text reflow.

Hmm, that'd contradict TechRadar.com's review [/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-2-1093688/review/5#articleContent]:You can have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 reformat pages when you zoom in but it doesn't do this by default, which is slightly annoying.
In fact, you have to go into the advanced section of the settings menu to dig this little gem out, which we weren't overly impressed with having to do.
Lots of people won't be aware of this - and that could lead to a second rate experience for no reason at all.
I come from Swype and recently Swiftkey and find that the Note keyboard is not bad at all.
I'm very surprised to be saying this but I am enjoying it very much. Started using it to test the one handed operation as my fingers couldn't reach the "A" key with ease and have been using it since.
The engine is Swiftkey so I guess is the similar with Samsung twist. I love the fact that I can type in multiple languages simultaneously w/o having to change.
What keyboard are you guys using? What would you change or add to it?

The keyboard was one of the things I was looking forward to. Having a dedicated number row is nice. I had a note 2 keyboard mod on my gs3. Really liked it.
I am loving it, I am honestly liking it more than swift key.
I love it too, but have your guys'/gals' swiping predictions been all over the place? I'm constantly having to un learn crazy words I have never and would never use. Thinking about going back to swift key for this reason.
Btw, when I typed that, it suggested " fount beak" instead of "going back." ..rly
Edit: gonna try turning off live prediction, which might be theculprit. ..and turn on learn from Gmail and messages.
new keyboard
I'm finding the new keyboard to my liking. Having the numbers there without having to go into a sub-keyboard is really great. I like the size of the keys for when I use my fingers, and the keys are a good distance when I use the stylus too. :good:

I just tested my module from the note 2. SamsungKeyboardShortDelay in xposed installer. Works fine on the note3.

I thought the Samsung keyboad was supposed to learn and use the words you commonly say. It never seems to pick up the words LTE or AT&T automatically for me.
I am currently using the Google keyboard.
Google keyboard !!!

Hit this thread and install xposed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467958
Launch the app and select framework then install framework.
After you have it set up, tap download from the main menu, then find the Samsung keyboard short delay module. Download and install it, then enable it in the modules menu. Reboot and it should be active.

Glad to help. Have fun with the note.
I really liked this keyboard and I WOULD LOVE TO USE IT but a couple things that im not sure i can let go from swiftkey. 1) the longpress duration (im not rooted yet) 2) i have my predictions backed up via cloud with swiftkey so it already knows my "language" and 3) WHICH IS THE BIG ONE, I LOVE swiping back to delete the word with swiftkey. This saves me so much time, I wish I can get that on this keyboard because I really like it and it seems to type more accurately. Swiftkey skips the 1st letter if i type the 2nd one too fast, and thats never happened to me on any other phone just this one. Anyway, sorry for the novel

I come from Swype and recently Swiftkey and find that the Note keyboard is not bad at all.
I'm very surprised to be saying this but I am enjoying it very much. Started using it to test the one handed operation as my fingers couldn't reach the "A" key with ease and have been using it since.
The engine is Swiftkey so I guess is the similar with Samsung twist. I love the fact that I can type in multiple languages simultaneously w/o having to change.
What keyboard are you guys using? What would you change or add to it?

I like it a lot. Especially the numbers on top. I installed the official Google Keyboard from the Play Store too. I like the big buttons on it, and if it had numbers on top I'd probably use it as default, so for now I switch back and forth when I feel like it.
I love the new N3 keyboard. The only thing that's bothering me is the small space bar. I also can't seem to find the setting that hides the symbols on the keyboard. Is there any way to get rid of that on the r mobile USA version?
