Hello. It seems like my phone kills swiftkey from time to time. And that makes my phone seem slow when it has to reload it. Any way to keep it in memory? Have to use Samsung keyboard for now... :/

I don't have this kind of problem but I never used emoji prediction. In which language do you use it ? Maybe related to the language?
same here with Swype keyboard @Sgs6
It really seems that it gets kicked off from memory after some time. Is there any way to force it kept in memory?
I don't use emoji prediction either. And I do not have any lags on the keyboard at all!
I'm using UK English, i face randomly shut down swiftkey and other third party keyboard too. I used to owned S6, after upgraded to 5.1.1, problem started to occur... now having same problem with S6 Edge Plus. Sad...
same here (only with swiftkey) on sony z ultra on 412 (cane be bothered updating yet).
emoji etc off. only happened a few updates ago. typing away and keyboard randomly closes. after waiting 30 seconds and repeatedly clicking in text area the keyboard pops back up and works for a while. reboot and same behaviour, same if wipe data etc.
might try wiping data and unlinking from my acc. if not that IMO has to be the app as OS hasn't changed (rooted and no OTA updates).
I ditched Swiftkey because it seems laggy and slow for me. With other keyboards I have no problems.
It's a bug of SwiftKey since 5.4. I have reported it several times with explinations, screencasts etc. They simply refuse to aknowledge they screwed up the app. So I'm using samsung keyboard, which, by the way, uses Swiftkey SDK.
Did you look at the App Optimization system? I have disabled Swiftkey there, to avoid having the system closing it after a certain time, and everything seems to be ok for now.
I noticed it lags a lot on the Edge Plus too which is ridiculous because of how fast the phone is, I have been trying out other keyboards and one that came close to swiftkey for me was Minuum Keyboard it has some really good prediction even for really sloppy fast typing.
I have read on a another topic that this is caused by the Samsung firmware itself. It detects SwiftKey as low priority and kills it whenever possible, even when you are using it (which is kind of ridiculous?)
I've read that if you disable spcm in build.prop (requires root) the issue will be fixed. I hope that Samsung does something with it soon as the same problem has been on touchwiz since the start..
So not only the edge+ that has the issue, I got the International S6 (920F) and I need to live with that issue... Almost considered rooting and voiding my warranty because of this and the terrible ram management.

Try this; it might help you along the way:

On the S6 go to Settings--> Language and input--> Default keyboard --> Set up input methods --> Turn off Samsung keyboard and Google voice typing. Worked for me.

The swiping on the ASUS keyboard is absolute garbage compared to Swype. It might as well not even be there.
Trying to official beta doesn't work - get an error about unsupported screen size.
I haven't tried forcing the issue.

Too late for you now but the Amazon app store gave away flex9 keyboard which has swype functionality... in addition to voice dictation and handwriting.
swype feature is pretty good and works on the transformer.
I don't need a signature.
I have Swype and Dasur Slide it on mine and it is not a match made in heaven in the UK - as I have a conflict between the hardware keyboard and the software keyboard. It is very frustrating - as even though I have the software keyboards set to UK keyboards, this somehow alters the hardware keyboard to a US keyboard whne I re-dock. If anyone knows a way around this, I would be very grateful and the Asus trace keyboard is utter poo. I cannot use it. In fact I am not a big fan of Swype, I think Slide it is by far the best in its class.
I read a post here a few days ago showing how you could stop the dock keyboard being changed by the tab keyboard settings. Do search through the development forum. You need to move files around, etc.
I have Swype on mine but I don;t like it on the tab although it is great on my DesireHD. I use the Thumb keyboard which becomes natural very quickly.
EDIT
Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14600447#post14600447
Have the newest beta on mine as well, works great! What I tend to do is make use of the resizable keyboard, make ik smaller, position it on the right.
This way I can hold the tablet with my left hand, and swype with the right, without moving too much across the screen.
The fail in combination with the hardware keyboard is a shame, there is a solution, but you do need root, which I haven't got around to yet.

Cheers pal, it's fathers day and I am finally having a day to play with my new toy, so far the launcher has been changed and now it looks like I will be rooted by the end of the day. Didn't think it would last long unrooted.
What's wrong?

I don't understand. I have Swype set as my software keyboard and am using the dock to type this. While I do get the annoying warning about setting the Asus keyboard when I first get things going, I haven't noticed any odd functions, or loss of capability. Am I missing something?

I don't have any problems either.
I think I did change something with the settings when I previously installed thumb keyboard (the @ was coming up as " with the dock keyboard) but I haven't had to do anything with swype.
Edit....I've not got round to rooting yet so I'm completely stock and using the uk layout.

The swype for HC with re sizeable keyboard work great for tablet in landscape mode.
I use Swype on both my Android phones and love it. A perfect present for Fathers day was an email saying that Swype had released a new beta which included additional Honeycomb support!
Sign up and try it out here at beta.swype.com
After all, it's free! (at the moment)
I have stock Note 3 and I've been running into issues with a lag or delay while using Swype in hangouts and other apps. I'm assuming it's an issue with Swype and it causes me to lose whole words. I wish the other Swype-esque keyboards were as good, but even the Google keyboard gets wrong more often than not compared.
The new hangouts has some additional issues for me where nothing I type shows up and the send button doesn't replace the camera location. I usually have to change keyboards to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are not the only one...
Thought I was going crazy. But yes - definitely a Swype + Hangouts issue afoot.
Not sure if this is the place for help - I'd think hitting the Swype forums is best shot (which is my next port of call - this thread came up top on Google when I searched just now for this issue).
cheers
I have the same problem using Swype in Hangout on my Droid Maxx. I don't have issues with Swype in any other apps.
Swype becomes sluggish and whole words are oddly lost, among other problems.
Anyone else see this? Does anyone know the specifics on what the update does?

Where do you see it?
Yep, got it two days ago. I have since switched to SwiftKey. No desire to try it.
i would like to know also
Just got the notification this afternoon and downloaded it. I switched back to SwiftKey a few days ago, but the LG keyboard did have promise, so I'll check it out soon.
No idea what has been updated.
Seems like European D855 never get keyboard updates. Isn't even listed in app updates.
Today my european d855 got the new keyboard..
Isn't there new features to set collor of the keybord and keyboard hight etc.. Its good changes.

whats the version number?
It's 5.0.27.
I find it laggier, but need to test it more to be sure.
Just updated it. Can't notice any difference at all. No idea what they changed tbh.
I just received the update in my LG D855! Version 5.0.27 and about 46mb! I found new updates in predictive language
I get this update too 5.0 27 and it's install automatically....i don't know the difference
Sent from my LG-D855
Got the update here in India as well a few days back. Looks to be under-the-hood stuff. Probably optimizations rather than anything major. A lot of people had previously mentioned that the 'lag' on their phones noticeably reduces when they disable/uninstall the LG keyboard(there are a couple of threads about this 'tweak' as well) - So maybe there was indeed some poor memory usage or implementation that LG identified and fixed.
Anyway, never really liked or used stock keyboards. Swiftkey is the best when it comes to localized words/dictionary & cloud-sync.
I never noticed the ability to use handwriting before. Maybe it was always there but I just didn't see it.
For me the update just changed the predictive text. If you type car for example it would show an emoji of a car (stupid imo) and now if you type 2 words with similar character it will auto correct to the last one you used so constantly auto correcting to the wrong word for me making it unusable

then do the press then hold the gear icon...
I have own a Droid bionic, droid maxx, Note 3 and now the S7 edge. Every one of them the mmajority of the time type crazy when I type on browsers. Notice the double "m" in mmajority? That is an exampl. (that "e" mmissingis aanother example.) (That entire sentence is an example!)
I am just typing and hitting the word predictions at the top and it will add double letters, it will add double spaces ssometimes and and none other times, whenI use a period, it removes thelast letter of thelast word. (I am leavingthe mmistakesin so youcan see what it is doin).
I use SwiftKey but it also is hhappeningon thestock bbrowse. I havewiped the app data but it hhasn't helped. It happens on all bbrowsers, but it ddoesn't happen in any other app like texting.
Doesaanyone know what is causingthis and how to fix it? Like I sai, tthis has happenedon eeveryaandroidI haveowned. Itmakes me want topunch ssomeonein theface! Why has aandroidhad this pproblemfor the last 5 years!?
You might try with another fully configurable soft keyboard, for example Smart Keyboard Pro.
If it wasn't so serious (to you) it would be funny
It actually reads very funny when you type. Apologies.
The way of typing isn't related to what browser you're using, it's probably SwiftKey. Try some other keyboard or the standard keyboard, see if that solves your problem
Both the stock keyboard and sSwiftKey do it, I really don'tlike theoothers I have tried but I wwill ccheck them. Like I said, it does nothhappenat all in apps or text mmessagin. I think it has something to do with my auto correct built into the phone. I use to turn it off but now I ccan'tfind it. I can oonly find thesspecific kkeyboard setting. I have typed this wwithstock sSamsungkkeyboard so as yyou cansee, I ddon'ttthinkit is swiftkey.

I didn't know tha ! I will try one of thos . Thanks!
weird, i never had that issue
I wonder if you have this saved in your dictionary. Or turn off auto correct and auto spacing would prob solve your problem
I have this problem too and I use Google Keyboard. Its only when it corrects something or I input a suggestion and space. I've somehow learned and managed to deal with it.
So far using the Google keyboard it seems much better. It is just weird that I have had this problem with all 4 phones I have had over the years. And it has always only happened in the browser.
I've used swiftkey for a few years, and have none of those problems. If it has happened on all those phones, and multiple keyboards, I think it may have more to do with the way you're typing than the keyboard or phone you use.
Do you use S8 stock keybaord or SwiftKey or Gboard? if you use different keyboard can you give reason ?

Stock keyboard is very very good..
I've always been a gboard user however it doesnt sync dictionary data if you have secure folder installed. This forced me to switch to swiftkey. In the start it felt horrible to me but I've grown accustomed to it and can't even think of switching to another keyboard now! Its amazing.

Just another friendly SwiftKey user here. I like the thumb layout and the predictions are spot on. I will never switch from SwiftKey..... ever.

I used swiftkey for a year...then switched to Gboard when the S7 came out. Just recently I switched back to swiftkey on my S8. Both are pretty good but I think the predictions are slightly better using swiftkey.
Gboard!
Swiftkey since years
Swype
I am using SwiftKey and the answer is simple - better predictions! I mostly type in another language and it learns my typing pattern much better than Gboard. I can't really use Samsung's keyboard as it doesn't recognize a lot of words and they remain uncorrected.

How's voice dictation with swiftkey? Is it accurate? Because I use Gboard because it's great for texting in two languages at the same time. I use English and Spanish simultaneously. .
I've always used google for just about anything. Their vault of metadata is probably enough to make an exact replica of me.
Anyway, I used Gboard. the samsung keyboard annoyed me with it's poor suggestions - and the fact it wouldn't auto space for google searches in the browser (I'm sure there's a setting somewhere I didn't bother looking for) was awful. I tried swift, but Gboard is fantastic. Plus my nerdy coworkers (dev here) thoroughly enjoy m(or secretly hate) the massive amounts of easily searchable gifs I can send from gboard easily.
I've always used FLESKY KEYBOARD.
Swiftkey. I first used it trough an update on my OnePlus One where it became the stock keyboard.
Have you tried BlackBerry keyboard?
From BlackBerry manager
I've been using SwiftKey since my S3 - for config options and prediction text...
Took me a while coming from gboard, but i changed to Stock keyboard and everything goes very well
swiftkey, its the only one that allows arrows keys on keyboard, and I much prefer the arrow keys than dragging the dot thing around
I use Swiftkey as my primary keyboard as I'm so used to the Urdu layout. I also use Gboard sometimes when I have to write something through voice. It also gives me the ability to speak in Urdu language, and it types in urdu.

Alright, so I am not the only one to face the auto spacing issue. Doesn't auto space on chrome, so I tried their stock browser, doesn't work there either.
Even though, in the settings I have set it to auto spacing.
I was using Gboard for the past 2-3 years, but now I am trying to get use to everything samsung stock.
