Hi, could someone please recommend me a better keyboard to use with my note 4's stylus (handwriting) cause the stock keyboard has a pretty bad handwriting recognition (wrote the letter "s" 10 times in a row and got these letters: "r, p, q, s" and funny enough the letter I got the least of was "s")?
Swype, just Swype the words with the stylus. It's quicker than writing out your letters. If that's not the case, you need more practice cause Swype is easily the fastest keyboard.

Perhaps something I could use without rooting, lol, don't want to void my warranty just yet, don't even have the phone for 1 week?
Try stylus beta on the plays tore. Sounds like what you want.

Thank you, will do that, hope it has better handwriting recognition than Samsung's keyboard, if not I'll probably root my phone after I receive my S-View cover and SD-card (want to first be sure the phone's hardware works 100%) and try the LG keyboard as suggested.
l normally use Swype but if you hover over a text entry a little blue Circle appears with a T in it which brings up a different text input. I find this much easier to use. I just wish that a backward line was delete like it was my on Palm graffiti!

You can also try Touchpal X which im using right now. Alot better than Samsung's.
Just cross it out with stylus and it deletes it. It's much better than palm. U can delete a letter, a word, or a sentence.

Hi! Is it just me or has swype become almost unuseable since a few ROMs back when it went from popping a box up to horizontal suggestions above the keyboard.
I'm not talking about the aesthetics, it seems as though the dictionary selection, accuracy and changing of half typed and corrected words is just terrible.
Prior to the update I used to breeze through, now I'm lucky to swype in a few words without an epic correction struggle against its will to correct and change.
Swype, once a selling point and a joy to use now just plain sucks for me, and the thought of using it turns me off productive tasks.
Just me? Bad settings? I look forward to peoples input. I can't exactly remember when the change occurred, it was when it went horizontal instead of pop up.

no problem here, actually I feel Swype 3 to be better than 2, fast, accurate and reliable.
Feel the same, maybe I swipe too fast, had to correct three times inn the first eight words

I don't intend to hijack, but I couldn't have an android phone without Swiftkey X on it... only complaint is that I have to use the gmail app for my email instead of the Samsung email one because it is very buggy on the Samsung one....
Same here. Old swype was more accurate.
I did two things:
1) Remove swype that comes with the rom, install the beta from swype.com (its newer)
2) Disable autocorrect
I absolutely love the new one. Much better than before and just as accurate.
The new Swype rocks! Especially with the horizontal word choice window. I can't even consider going back to 2.7. No problems with accuracy whatsoever with the new version on my phone.
It's not just me! Latest Cognition 1.50 just released and Swype has been reverted to 2.x, Designgears said the following:
"I think the new versions suck too, it is no even usable anymore, I can type my message 3x faster with the stock samsung keyboard."

Quit the bull - if you didn't mean to hijack, why are you doing it? Is this an accidental hijack? Jerk.
On topic - never been a huge Swype fan, but been playing with it a bit this weekend - and I concur with those that say the new version is hopeless.
Still a noob with it, but my accuracy was much, much better on the old version.
Not sure I'll stay with Swype anyway - old dog, new tricks....
Make sure you check your Swype accuracy settings. I put mine closer towards the error tolerance end now. Still works fine.

I don't like it that much, have to swipe twice/thrice for a simple word like 'or'. I used T9 Trace on my S8500 before and it never had any problem, even if I swiped on some wrong letters it ultimately gave me the right word.
I am on 2.72 version, at default setting.
Regards.
Yep same here. Spent more time struggling with auto-correction than actually swyping.
I use TouchPal's keyboard now. Surprisingly accurate even when you mash the wrong buttons, high degree of customisability (you can even use the classic numpad keyboard), and they will also be implementing the swyping functionality in the next major release (hopefully more usable than the current version of Swype).
I've found, disabling auto correction helps a million.

I absolutely agree with every word you said. Please if someone can tell me a way of downgrading to an older version, i will be ever grateful. Its terrible now!!
from my perspective.. swype 3 is better than swype 2 .. well the horizontal word suggestions eats up a line, but in exchange it's easier to scroll down (or right ) for the words.. it's true that it's not perfect when selecting words.. but overall.. it's still the best keyboard...

How do you disable Auto Correction? Can't find it in settings!
Swype 3 beta says you can't install it on a phone that was shipped with swype pre installed. Anyway to get the new 3 beta of swype on official firmware?
Is there any way to downgrade though?

Yea. I used swype on my HD2.
I mean I could go back, but Swype is so much quicker and easier.
I like Swype!
I've tried Swype a few times but I can't get the feel of it at all so never use it. Trying the ics keyboard now and finding it's a bit better at auto correcting spaces which is handy.
Swype rules.
S-pen toggle ICS keyboard
love this ICS keyboard layout (having such a small space bar on others just pisses me off), but is there any way to add the Pen input for it on the SGN? kinda defeats the purpose of it on this handset if you can't use it.

Swype is by far the best. It's so easy and simple and forgiving. I barely even hit my intended letters and it almost always knows what I'm typing. The idea of taping out messages or emails seems archaic now. Especially with the s-pen....it's just such an effortless pleasure.
Takes a day, max. That being said, is love to be able to use Swype on the ics keyboard.

I tried the keyboad but have no comment as of now. Why? Because it still lags just like the previous other keyboards I've tried, if your a fast texter like myself the phone is slow & cannot catch up which leads to mistakes in EVERY word I write, it's a nightmare...
I hope they fix this issue in the next update.
Currently using ''smart keyboard pro'' which I think is one of the BEST keyboards, also being VERY customizable & comes with several great skins, all of which are great in their own way, even the colours you can change...
I think the note will be FAR superior once it gets the ice cream update and will be even smoother and faster than what it already is.
I found it initially lagged but after turning off most of the features it works OK now aside from occasional lags which I assume is due to some other application slowing it down. Its auto correct can be intermittent but I have it turned down as I don't want it too aggressive
I really miss the original 4 row keyboard that my note came with. Any ways on getting this back on my note without downgrading?

Hi, I need some advice from experienced users. Could anybody please let me know the advantages of using the tablet, rather than the phone, version of Swiftkey 3 on the Galaxy Note? Which version do you recommend to use on the Galaxy Note? I purchased the phone version but immediately after installation, a message showed up saying that "Wrong SwiftKey! SwiftKey 3 (phone) is not optimized for tablets. Please consider purchasing SwiftKey 3 Tablet." I asked for the automatic refund immediately.
I read that the tablet version has a split keyboard. Given that the Galaxy Note's screen is smaller than most tablets, I wonder how easy it is to type on it. Do the keys appear to be smaller if I use the tablet version rather than the phone version? Is the split keyboard's height adjustable? Thanks.
It kinda depends on your prefered dpi.
Id suggest 160 to 200 use tablet version, anything higher use phone version.
Play around with settings, keyboard height etc.
Enough free alternatives though

If you get tablet version, you can configure it to look like the phone version. So I'd go for the tab one.
Try the free version first

I found the option of "Portrait key height" and "Landscape key height" under Advanced. Changing the key height also changes the overall size of each key. Is there any other way to change the height of the keyboard especially in landscape mode? I tried both the phone and the tablet versions. I found the split keyboard with Normal landscape key height the most comfortable to type on. (I made lots of mistakes using the small option.) However, I can only see three lines of the text I am composing. In my opinion, the height of the space bar and the suggested words could be smaller. I recall seeing a message that the size of the keyboard could be changed by swiping... It disappeared so quickly that I could not see the rest of the sentence.
By the way, the app adds a space behind each suggested word. For example, I wanted to type "becomes". "become" appeared on the suggested list. When I chose it, "become"+space was typed automatically. I had to hit the back key to add the "s". Similar, I have to hit the back key to add a full stop when the suggested word is the last word in a sentence.
I have 2 doubts about Swiftkey, it's not learning "xD" every time I tell it to learn it, by tapping on it at the top bar, the next time I type "xd" it leaves it as that! My second doubt about swiftkey is that if you type and then switch to the numbers page, and hit space, it doesn't return back to the alphabet page; Right? ARG! Some minor annoyances ...
Any suggestions?

Well, Swiftkey for me offers me both "become" and "becomes"!
FYI, you don't need to go back to end a sentence. If you hit full stop, it will remove any space it had entered automatically.

Tried it last night. Tablet version works just fine, but I can't really compare because I didn't bother to try the phone version. Went back to Swype because I've long been an avid user of swipe keyboards and I can't take that out anymore. )
