Did you try swype under Language and input options?

Seriously what is up with the stock keyboard? It seemed pretty decent on the Note 2, but on the S4 if won't insert autocorrections when you hit space, and there's nothing in the options to enable it to do so. That is such a basic feature, and leaving it out is a huge step backwards. Samsung, what were you thinking?

Also using SwiftKey. I never cared for stock keyboards except for the blackberry keyboard but that's a whole different phone and argument in itself lol

But you can type ok? Maybe voice input would be better for you?

Swiftkey is my keyboard of choice. Works really well.

SwiftKey is the ultimate!

SwiftKey and Swype + Dragon - switching between the two. Not sure if I want to invest the $4 yet for SwiftKey!

I use the new Swype from the play store

You can turn off auto correct in the keyboard settings. I like the keyboard i like the fact it always has numbers at the top.

Swiftkey for life.

I use the stock 4.2 keyboard. I keep the apk on my SD so I can install it. You can swype or type and it seems to work well.

SwiftKey... Love it

+1 for SwiftKey.... Although I wish it also had the option for numbers at the top for us with bigger screens! But adjusting the long press to about 200ms makes it tolerable! Other that SwiftKey is bar far the best!

I hate swype

Anyway to get Android keyboard in froyo? Im flashed to eugene's rom
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Eugene has several keyboards on his rom. Just change the input method by holding down a text field. BTW, you can type on the swype keyboard like the stock android.
I only have swype and samsung keyboards

I like Smart Keyboard Pro in market or free HTC_IME mod v27 < this is what i am using now.
Yeah, I thought Swype would be neat when I first got my phone, but after using it a bit I'm baffled as to why so many people seem to like it. I can type faster by actually typing than I can using Swype, and it's easier overall as well. To each his own I suppose.
Yea I tried it before and hated it now im forced to usee it ick

+1 on Smart Keyboard Pro.
The android keyboard is rather Spartan and underfeatured IMO. I definitely prefer the customizability of SKP.

Thanks for the heads up on swiftkey tablet. Generally I use a swype style including stock 4.2 so I'm quite happy to give this a go.

I tried SwiftKey Tablet hut didn't like it... I don't really remember why... Anyway, I just use SwiftKey like I have on my phone. I rarely type in landscape, anyway, so the keys are a great size for me to type.

Kii looks good but it doesn't have face book, Gmail and sms sync which SwiftKey has.
You should take a look at "Hackers Keyboard" from the Playstore. It features a full 5row keyboard with tab, arrow keys and much more useful keys. It's perfect for use with terminals.

+1 for the kii keyboard.
for the tablet it is the best i've used so far.
MessagEase has been my favorite keyboard since my old HandSpring. It looks strange, and you have to practice a bit to get your speed up, but it is fast and hugely customizable.

Been using this for a while; started using it after a few days of using the stock keyboard and getting tired of it. I really like it.
I'm currently using SwiftKey Tablet, really nice keyboard. I decided to use it because I was bored of the stock one (stock keyboard isn't that bad after all, but I wanted to try something new).
I have to say I am happy with the 4.2 stock keyboard.
I was using the Swype Beta - for the good voice engine.
I still use the voice engine...

Keyboard issues

Hey all, on my stock rooted gs4. For some reason my phone kept defaulting to the Samsung keyboard even though I set default to be Kii keyboard. I froze the Samsung keyboard via TB, then it defaulted to Swype. I froze Swype, then it defaults to voice typing. Any ideas how I can get Kii to default as primary all the time? In on mk2 build BTW.

Yes I know where to do settings, the issue is that my preference for Kii keyboard to be my main keyboard does not stick.
