[Q] best keyboard? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is the best keyboard on the Note4? Also why I can't download the google keyboard from Play Store? I'm using Swiftkey but isn't smoother like google keyboard..

I use kii keyboard. You wont find it in the app store anymore for some reason. However a quick Google search will lead you to the APK. By far the best app I have used. And I have tried almost all of them. Smooth, numbers on top row if you want, key shortcuts (I.e. r =are) and many more options.
Just try it. I guarantee you will be satisfied.

Not sure why you can't download it from the Play Store, I was able to. I just received my replacement device and tried the stock keyboard out for a whole afternoon before I switched back to Google's.

I think the Google keyboard is best, it's been my favorite for years. I was able to download it just fine.

Swift key.

Could go with Swype, or go to MIUI.us and download the new MIUI keyboard. I've heard that it is not good, though I have not tried it out for myself.
I'm good with Swype, but there are others I want to try out, too
I use SwiftKey X and love it. Got it for the Free App of the Day on Amazon, but I think GetJar has it for free (along with a handful of other apps, mostly games). The free apps promotion might have ended, but you can download GetJar from the market and see if it's still available.
Second favorite is Smart Keyboard Pro. It's a great keyboard, but once I got used to SwiftKey I hated that other keyboards couldn't read my mind. I think there's a trial available for Smart Keyboard.

Non US Users: change app store location

Just a suggestion for non US W8 users: changing the location in windows control panel is the simplest way to change the store from outside the US, having more apps available. You can't buy apps, but you can download the free apps. You don't need to change language, numbers, ecc, just location.
Will try this! Thanks!
Works really well I now have photobucket, anymore app suggestions.
If you like your social media apps then Norto Satélite is worth it, only available from US store

Why are you saying I can only use free apps? I bought Pin Steam and everything went ok.
Well I tried it and it would not let me buy a paid app in US store since my email and account is UK based

Search these forums for phablet, Google's odd solution to the bigger than a phone but smaller than a tablet interface. In some ways you get the worse of both worlds instead of the best. The search will turn up all sorts of info on the way folks feel about it.

Isn't there a way to trick the market to give us full tablet apps?
Google for a app called lucky patcher. It can patch play store. Never used it myself. So backup your device.

You can just search here at XDA for a useful thread that provides various special versions of the Play Store. You can install one that will force everything to be for a certain dpi value or to ignore dpi or many other options. I have a special version on my Dell Streak that I got from here.

Any way of using S-Pen with Google Keep?

My wife has a Galaxy Note 2, and wants to use the S-Pen for handwriting notes with Google Keep. The S-Pen doesn't seem to be natively supported however. Is there any way to enable this??
Unfortunately the app developers have to incorporate that. .. so got to wait till Google updates keep for s pen
