On my 8.4 I've noticed an annoying bug. First of, I think the Samsung keyboards gesture input is terrible so I installed the Google keyboard but now I cannot see any gesture trails in portrait nor do numbers show up if I long press on the top row. The functionality works but the visuals are not there which is weird. All is fine in landscape.. Ideas?

I'm experiencing the same issue. I installed SwiftKey to get around the problem, but I much prefer the google Keyboard if possible.
Glad it's not just me. I'm also experiencing plenty of crashes on stock. Of random apps.

Does anyone have an issue with a laggy keyboard. It seems like once my message that I'm typing gets longer, its hard for the keyboard to keep up with me. I got rid of the on screen spell check to see if that improves the speed, but doesn't seem to help. I can type out a couple words before it actually shows up on the screen.

I've run into this same exact issue. When typing fast, it gets a few words behind. Happens on CDMA version.

+1 cdma version. The lag is horrific when I am using the keyboard in landscape mode. I am curious to know if it is a problem for everyone as well.

Happening to me quite often. On a GSM version, even in portrait.
The phone had been working great for two weeks and getting a few issues with it in the last three days.

Wasn't impressed with the stock keyboard so I got SwiftKey
Yeah same thing happening here in landscape. I just noticed this yesterday - I don't know if it's just started happening or the honeymoon phase is just wearing off?
there seems to be almost no lag in portrait, but yeah landscape is death.
The only solution at this point is to install a third party keyboard, or just always type in portrait.
I installed SwiftKey and besides couple minor quibbles it works pretty well. In landscape it lags slightly every once in a while but it is nowhere close to the showstopper the stock keyboard is. Definitely something in ICS holding us up and Google needs to get on the ball.

This is a pretty widespread issue. Check out this article: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/22/noticing-lag-in-the-ice-cream-sandwich-keyboard-in-landscape-mode/
I run TouchPal keyboard and don't notice any lag.
If you have a laggy keyboard switch off the force hardware acceleration option.

i use touchpal too, but their auto correct and prediction are way off than swiftkey.
I love this keyboard because of the auto correct feature and the amount of options you can choose. For some reason while I'm typing sometimes it will do double letters and it's at random. Sometimes it will look like this "HHey what aree you doing?" Am I the only one with this issue. Using it on my completely stock AT&T galaxy s3.

I haven't experienced that issue but it will ocasionally say I hit a letter than I didnt

It's my favourite keyboard, I use it every day in the past 10 months or so, didn't have this problem either. (Used it on atrix, vivid and hox). Maybe the screen is a little too sensitive?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
There is no way of adjusting the sensitivity of the screen from my understanding. I just am curious if I'm the only one to have this problem or if someone else has experienced it at all doing the same thing. I don't know I'll try not typing so light and see if that makes a difference. If someone has had this problem and they fixed it please let me know how.

Has anyone seen if maybe it's the speed at which you're typing. If I type slow its not so bad. If I start typing faster it starts putting the double letters. Just trying to figure this out. Thanks for the information in advance.

I have the same issue. I type pretty fast and it always has that double letter issue and even sometimes has double words even though I only enter it once. I decided to stick with the stock ics keyboard from the play store which works great without any typos with my quick typing

Who is the developer of the keyboard you're using?

I definitely have this issue, and am using 4.6.00.147 version of the app (the most recent I believe) as I don't see any update in the Play Store. I love this keyboard, but this part of it is very frustrating. So much to the point that I went back to the stock AOSP keyboard, but I want this to be fixed.
EDITED: I've reached out to the developer to see if there is any idea on what's causing/how to fix. I will post any updates if I get any that are constructive.
When I used the navigation I would get these flashes on the screen. Any one else have these problems
Also on swipe I see alot of whte lines on many keyboard that goes away. Kinda similar to the iPhone keyboard bug.

hey everyone,
i've noticed that in some (most actually) apps, when in landscape mode and bringing up the keyboard (it happens on all keyboards ive tried: swiftkey, swiftkeyflow, kii, keymonk and samsung stock) instead of bringing up the keyboard and displaying the app you're in in whats left of the screen, the keyboard comes up with a white text input display, allowing you to see only the text you enter, without its context in the application you're in.
this can be troublesome in apps that combing typing and drawing, such as lecturenotes or any other natural handwriting note taking app you know.
has anyone found a way to overcome this issue?
try swype, my man
http://beta.swype.com/
I've tried all my writing apps and none of them do that. What app are you using? I have tried it with both the stock keyboard and the Hackers Keyboard.

I'm actually curious to know.if there is a way to avoid the white box appearing. It's the only reason why I prefer typing in portrait mode, I'd like to see where I'm typing.

Same here man,
why Samsung would force something like this on users is beyond me.
It renders many great apps unusable in landscape mode

Is anyone still thinking about this? I also find this quite annoying, also because it is different from app to app and also from Rom to Rom. I get the right results on most tw roms, but not on AOSP or CM10.1, where it differs from app to app. Changing dpi doesn't solve the issue.
I read that thumb keyboard has an option to suppress fullscreen windows, but I use swype.
I use the Note I, but this is not device-specific. No work-around?
Subscribed. Always wanted to know whether or not it can be fixed.

Actually on most aosp roms there's an option to disable full screen keyboard on landscape. However, I have never heard of this option on touchwiz roms, people keep suggesting keyboards but non of them work. I believe this requires modification in the root directory.

Bushako, thank you so much! I found it in the AOSP options and it worked greatly. Strange I never saw it.

Have any of you guys notice that the SAMSUNG on screen keyboard lags when pulling it up from a text field? After clicking on a text box it takes so long for it to pull up the keyboard.

I'm noticed this too, a little annoying to be honest
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
Me too. I started using SwiftKey and I think it's a little better. I recall the lag being worse while using the small sized floating keyboard. SwiftKey has that same option though, so I've been using that. Multiling O keyboard had a bunch of options as well and is free, unlike SwiftKey.
Yeah i notice it more on certain apps like chrome more than i do on other apps like tapatalk....tbh on tapatalk its rapid on mine but overall nothing too annoying for me.
