I can't seem to be able to use the keyboard to type in the top app when I use multi-window. Pressing any key reverts me to the app on the bottom half of the screen. I'm using Swiftkey btw. Anyone know fixes? Thanks in advance.

I believe when you are using Stock Keyboard, you can detach it and move around when in Multiwindow mode. But i don't know about SwiftKey, play around in it's settings and see...

Wow bro i was exactly in this moment post this issue.
I have the problem to i cant type in the upper app whatever the app is, i also use siwftkey. Have you find any solution? this happened to me after upgrading to kitkat sm-n900.
I tried undocking swiftkey and it worked, but it can be the complete solution. There are some pics of different apps , another issue is that when i want to edit the multiwindow apps the option to go play store is not available.
I don´t know were to look, if any of you know something please share
Thanks
Nope, sorry man. Currently i'm just sticking to swapping the top screen with the bottom whenever I need to type. Tedious though
I have this issue too. I noticed that the stock keyboard doesn't have this problem.
As a temporary solution I used tasker with the note buddy plugin to automatically switch the SwiftKey keyboard to stock.
I know it's just not the best solution since you always have to pull out the s pen, but it's something.
For those who don't have tasker, there's the SpenBoardswitcher.

Has there been and solutions or updates to this? Driving me nuts. I noticed that after I updated my note 3 to 4.4.2 on att this issue presented itself
Swiftkey doesn't support Multiwindow. It has never officially done so.
Ugh. Quite frustrating but it is what it is. Thanks for the response.

when you go to the settings option for the messaging app
there is an option to show gesture trace then the sensitivity right under it
so i enable it and go back to messaging and it shows a yellow line when you swipe your finger where the messages appear.
does anyone know how we can set certain gestures do have certain functions?
or what the heck its used for
i know some devices and tabs have gestures but thats on apps and the home screen where you make a circle and it takes you to music app or something
but this is only in the messaging app.
any info would help
guess no one knows then?
ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
me too
I have a similar problem after flashing my ATT Captivate to Serenddipity 7. When I use the text messaging app a yellow line appears wherever I slide my finger. It goes away after a few seconds. Is it related to the Swype keyboard settings?
edit: found it, messaging app has setting for gesture trace....uncheck this. Problem goes away.

its not a PRoblem for me i just want to know what it is used for.
im thinking maybe you can circle an object then while keeping your finger down on the screen draw a letting representing what you want to do with the circled object or word.
but that doesnt work i don't know how to set it up.
its unchecked by default. i checked the box to get the feature but i dont know how to use it.
my question was what is it used for
same question. searching online turned up nothing X_X

As I explained in that thread to another user, the gestures are used to call upon premade message templates. You can set up those in the same Message app settings.
I searched and your thread came up and it seems you didn't found an answer either.

Thanks! Couldn't find this until I saw your post.
I'd like to ask everyone the changes done by 4 . 1.2 that weren't announced by samsung.
1 new number format in stock messages app which separates international code area code and number
2 S calendar during write mode. The write on/off on the pen button has beem removed. In order to move to another month you have to turn the whole write mode off (veeeeery annoying)
3 wifi saving mode / problems - disconnects a lot
4 new changes to qwerty stock keypad. Quick symbols menu had a revamp of sorts
Any other changes?
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!

when you've closed all tabs in the default browser and you get to the about:blank page. previously on 4.1.1, if you hit the back capacitive button on this page, it will just go back to the last page you were on before you closed all tabs to get to the about:blank page, and you can continue to access the previous pages by hitting the back button.
on 4.1.2, after closing all tabs and getting to the about:blank page, hitting back will now exit the browser.
not really a bug. its something novel that i actually liked, and sorta shows that samsung are starting to think of the little things more.

Wow if this is true, then it's certainly a good news! Previously, there was no way to exit/lose the browser completely. Have to swipe it off the Recent Apps list to fully exit the app.
Im currently facing an issue with the Pen Detection within Samsung Keyboard settings. It's not working on the 4.1.2 firmware on my 7105.
The handwriting recognition itself works, but it's just not automatically activated when I pull out my S-Pen. Anyone else with this issue? I tried resetting the settings within the Samsung keyboard settings as well as Clearing Data within Applications for the Samsung Keyboard and it still does not work.
Edit: Duh. It still works. My bad. Turns out that you gotta pull the S Pen out before the Samsung keyboard pops out. Once it appears, pulling out the S Pen will not automatically change the keyboard to handwriting recognition.

Haven't checked second point yet.
And the battery backup should be the major compromise we are facing. It's about 15% lesser than 4.1.1, which isn't good.
Oh, if you want to have an exit option in stock browser just check the CSC topic. It's easy.

I guess not every update is perfect. Still being able to rearrange my drop down menu is a big plus. Battery drain is a bit faster but that's expected of new features are added but it isn't noticeable. I just wish Samsung fully tests of their updates and provide a complete list of changes.

There is a bug in YouTube mentioned in another thread. My touchscreen lost some sensitivity which is really annoying. The battery life stated sucking a tad bit. It's always like this, better not to upgrade.
I'm gonna revert, just dreading backing up all my files.. Thought this wouldn't be an issue anymore, I think 4.1.2 is a step down from the previous version.

Thanks for the info, and thanks goodness it isn't available where I live.i'm still on 4.1.1 and no issues so far.
One thing I've found is when you create a shortcut in bar for NFC menu, sometimes when the NFC icon picture gone and you want to try activate to NFC, the system UI will crash and it will restarted yhe the UI then you should activated through setting menus by manually.

thank you for posting this up...honestly, the only thing I know in 4.1.2 JB update was battery life sucked very much.
and i was surprised that there are more listed. :laugh:
No Back Jumping Animation
Ive found that apart from battery life that sucks after the 4.1.2 update, I have also lost the back jump animation. Now, pressing the back button takes you to the home screen/launcher rather than jumping to the other open app. In 4.1.1, after pressing back, the previous app would jump in from the top. Now that no longer happens.
Also the phone is a bit laggy, 4.1.1 was so much smoother. Auto rotation doesnt work smoothly and instantaneously.
I have read on other threads that doing a factory reset, solves the battery drain. Anyone tried it here?
Anyone else face this issue? im on stock 4.1.2 DLL7.

Mine always worked like the way you described. If you pull out the S Pen and hit a textbox, the handwriting mode is enabled, but it doesn't switch the keyboard when the s pen is pulled out during typing. I think it is working correctly, but definitely makes a lot of sense to switch it for you when you pull out the S Pen.
On ubdll3, drain seems to have gone away.

Has anyone figured out how to enable one-handed mode on the built in Swype keyboard?? I see they've added that option to their latest update on the play store, yet there is no such option in settings.
This must be a gimped version.. =/ any workarounds to do this?
TIA!

The Samsung swipe is horribly inaccurate. Out of all the different swipe keyboards I've used, Swype is just the most accurate.
I just paid for the app, and now I have one handed available. Now with all the "hacks" I've enabled, I can use the phone totally one handed.

Press the other buttons
On my swype, you have to hold down the button that has "?123" on it. If you look closely it has a little arrow icon on it. That opens the keyboard movement options from left and right. Couldn't find options anywhere else
Can't find the predictive text in the settings. Do you guys have that feature?
Well, this is pretty weird behaviour, and I spent a number of roll-backs of my phone suffering from same one, until I found the root cause of it. Go into Settings->Accessibility, and scroll to the bottom section, Services. Whenever you have some app there marked as ON - your keyboard gets limited in functionality, dunno why. I have 2 apps there, and I disabled both of them, to have wider options for my keyboard.
Hope it helps.

Wow, it worked. Thank you so much!
It seems like only some app will cause the problem. Optical Reader from Samsung will only disable my keyboard features, out of 6 apps.
UPDATE: I can now reorder my edge panels after disabling it.
OMG.. finally got my predictive text to work again. I turned off optical reader in accessibility and viola. It instantly returned!!! Thought I would never get it back!

I have a A2017U on B27 Stock that's unlocked, rooted, and with Xposed.
I use three Google keyboards: English, Japanese, and Korean. Whenever the keyboard opens, I'll have a notification that allows switching between the three. It's irrelevant since each of the keyboards has a button to switch between them anyways. Has anyone found a way to remove it?
I've read that deleting all keyboards except one fixes this, which is obviously not a solution. I've also read that this is a notification built into the Android ROM, but there are individual phone model specific fixes for it. If anyone has found an Axon 7 solution please let me know.
Also, anyone know how to remove this globe button from the keyboard? It switches between my three keyboards, but it's redundant since long pressing the Space bar key does the same action. I often press it accidentally when trying to type a comma or a space.
Hey I was able to achieve this was by manually deleting the stock keyboard with a file explorer except the google one; aka only leaving ONE keyboard. I don't think you can do that without deleting all other keyboards. As you can see from the screenshot, I don't have any keyboard notifications.
You could try http://repo.xposed.info/module/biz.underpants_gnomes.android.xposed.mods.hidexposedime and see if it works. About the globe, I have no idea.
Get Swift keyboard, it has language packs download.

Thank you!!! Worked like a charm! Also read on its Xposed page description that Cyanogenmod can do this natively without an app/module. Good to know once we get an official CM ROM.
No need for xposed.
It's a notification to ask you to choose a keyboard. Click the notification, click choose keyboards at the bottom, disable keyboards you are not using. Done.

Again for the second time, if you'd read the OP this is not a solution for anyone who types in multiple languages. Thankfully member awsomjgp provided an Xposed module solution that fits the original requirements.
