S-Pen Question

I am liking the S-Pen but I have a few questions....
I get this screen and no matter what I write or enter it never goes anywhere
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can get to this screen and it works really well except for spaces between words are not picked up unless I write out several at a time. If I pause and one word gets entered there is no space put between the next word unless I use the button at the top. Is there a S-Pen shortcut to enter a space?

Never having a Samsung device is this what I am seeing in my first screenshot?
Also I found if I use the pen and draw a quick down line between the words where I want a space it will pop one in there.

I found that after turning on "direct pen input" under Settings> Controls >S-Pen, that I was able to start using the keyboard pen pad.
Might want to give that a shot

There's an "Auto spacing" toggle in the Samsung Keyboard settings. Might do the trick?

Nope...

I think you're missing the keyboard update from last week or so:

I have that cheat sheet of S-Pen gestures in Scrapbook, for easy reference. :good:

[Q] Handwriting to text recognition?

Anyone else having issues with using the s pen to do things like write text messages? When I begin to write, the app never recognizes anything and converts it to text. This worked fine prior to root.
I checked for samsung keyboard updates. I already have the latest one. Is there a process I may have frozen that gets tied in with it?

I use this all day at work and I'm rooted and have not had any issues at all.

Does it recognize that the pen is out? Go into the keyboard settings and ensure "Pen Detection" is checked.

Yes. I can use the pen for s note, air command, etc. Pen detection is not turned off. Even if I write the text with my finger, it shows up, but never gets translated. See below.
I would prefer not to restore if need be. I went through titanium to see if i may have frozen something that uses this functionality, but no dice.
EDIT
Ok, I went ahead and did a factory restore. Still rooted. Still not working.

That's weird. Sorry, I don't know what to tell ya

If I can remember correctly there was another post about this somewhere. I had to uninstall the keyboard updates then reinstall then reboot and it has worked since then. I'll check and see if I can find the post for ya after I get back from eating lunch with my daughter.

I had this issue originally and the recommendation I found was to update "Samsung keyboard Note 3/10.1". When I looked it was already up to date, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the keyboard. I think I may have also needed to kill app with the keyboard open before it started working.

Maybe this will help

New firmware, AND4

So i was dinking around on sammobile, saw the latest firmware for the p900, problem is, its only a china firmware, i said.. "What the hell..." and went ahead and installed it on my US p900.
Works like a champ! Its all in english, im not sure if thats because i didnt wipe before i odin'd it. But reguardless, im up and running with it.
I had to change the text prediction to english. Everything i was typing was english, but the prediction suggestions were all chinese. But i just changed that in the keyboard settings.
In the stock browser, if you search from address bar, it returns results from some chinese search engine. It looks like you cant change it. Oh well, i use chrome and opera anyway.
The keyboard has some new features that i really like. Options for clipboard, handwriting, mic.. Etc are right on top, can turn prediction on and off with a toggle above tab..

So the alternate symbols are gone on the new keyboard? I'm not sure if i'd like that. I guess the common ones are there but some basic math symbols and brackets are missing in addition to other punctionation marks. Guess thats what the Sym button will have to be used for (currently don't use it much with the older keyboard).

There is an xposed module to activate long press symbols if you're rooted. Fyi

I ended up going back to an XAR firmware . I had no Google services. Apparently China uses their own services for mail, maps, search... Etc.

Thanks, yes fully aware of that but the discussion was on the new keyboard layout being described above so I was asking relative to that discussion. Had he still been using that firmware and the option not be in there to turn it on I was going to suggest next to try xposed and that alt keyboard symbol module.

I know from messing with missing keyboard symbols, both the "language" and handwriting recognition "language" need to be "English US". If one is UK, symbols would disappear. This was reported by many when I posted looking for my symbols. Just fyi. Wonder if that rom had the mag UX that US users didn't get.

Removal of "Change Keyboard" button from Nav Bar

Has anyone seen an app or mod that removes the change keyboard button from the nav bar when typing?... or moves it to the left side?
No luck with searching but the terms are generic enough that I had so many results, maybe I missed something.

I only have three buttons, and not the extra Keyboard on. Don't remember doing anything to remove it.

Three things:
1. It only shows up when your keyboard is out, in case that's not obvious.
2. Do you have a keyboard installed aside from the stock keyboard?
3. What ROM? I'm on stock.

I never paid attention to that, thanks!

Gravitybox has this option. It's called "Remove IME Switcher" or something like that uncer Navbar options.
I got rid of mine too, since my back button is on the right and I always accidentally hit the keyboard switch button instead.
You'll need xposed framework though.

Go to Settings --> Language and input --> The under "Keyboard and input methods" click on "Current Keyboard" if you look on the right hand side you will see you have more than one language or input method selected just uncheck them until you have just one option. This should solve your problem.

You cannot turn off the stock keyboard, though I suppose I could freeze it via Titanium or something as a last resort.

You can also disable the keyboard and doesn't require root and solves your issue.

You don't need to turn off or disable the stock keyboard. Please review this screencast of what I'm referring to.

You only have the Google keyboard. If you install another, that won't work... But yeah, I guess just disabling/freezing is the solution.

Already found something I hate about Nougat on the S7 Edge

Got the Nougat update this morning like everyone else.
Immediately I notice a problem. Not a big problem in itself, but over and over this becomes pretty annoying.
Here is a hangout message notification:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Notice anything? The reply button is missing.
It only appears when the notification is expanded, as seen below.
Ok no big deal. But this means you have to expand your hangouts, messenger, and who knows what other messaging apps to get the reply button to be displayed. Every single time.
One of the big selling points of Nougat was being able to reply directly from notifications quickly. While this is still possible to do with this update, it will require expanding the notification every time. My wife's Nexus 6P has nougat installed and the reply button is immediately visible, no expanding notification necessary.
Is there a setting buried deep down somewhere that changes this back to how it should be? Even on Marshmallow the reply button was visible immediately, though not implemented as gracefully as Nougat, the button was still there without having to expand anything.

Lol the world is going to end without a simple reply button! We are all doomed! ???

I realize it's pretty trivial, but this is not the behavior of stock Nougat. Samsung decided to give us an extra step for no real reason.
Thanks for your input carlosfig.

Is it there on stock android, and could it be just an issue with hangouts?

Unfortunately it looks like Samsung just decided to implement it this way. It happens with all messaging apps I've used thus far. My wife's 6P has the reply button instantly available, no expanding needed.

Where's the battery setting to turn off fast charging? I don't see this setting anymore...
---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------
Anyone see the battery setting to turn off fast charging? Can't find anymore.....
EDIT: found it. Battery. Advanced.

I'm finding it difficult to organize grouped icons in the app drawer. If you already have 9 icons and you hit edit and try to bring one to another page it just won't drop.
For example http://i.imgur.com/WbpjOIv.jpg
I'm holding onto the play games icon soon as I let go to drop it goes back to the first page in the group. Yeah you can remove it and add it again but it'll be difficult to organize them to preference order.
Also did they take away the option in settings for your default launcher? I guess you can get to it by opening the launcher itself but I'm curious if it's just me or was it moved?
