My touch HD keyboard setting seems to be locked on the default keyboard option.
I enter settings, input, change it, to anything else, click okay, reenter and its back to the blue keyboard. I have touchpal installed which i really want to use.
Thing is i got it to stick to touchpal before but its reverted to this again?
I had SKtools and set touchpal to default, but still this problem.
Any way i can stop this. I hate that stupid blue keyboard.
you pick your keyboard by clicking the triangle beside the keyboard sign when you are inputing text/letter. not from setting
I have a Xoom and have been using it since it came out. Got my wife the Galaxy 10.1 and there are several keyboard issues.
1. we switch to the Android keyboard as the spell/suggestion actually works. The Samsung text correction never activates for some reason.
2. when docking to the samsung keyboard dock (which is slick, we wanted it vs. a flimsy triangle tent on your lap and bluetooth keyboard) but it does not "take over" as the default keyboard, like my Xoom does. The virtual keyboard still pops up everytime you enter a text field.
Q1: Is there any way to remove the Samsung keypad?
Q2: How can you (if at all) allow the keyboard dock to take over as the default keyboard when docked?
Any of these issues with anyone else. Thanks.
I have a work phone that is an SM-G900H, currently on lollipop 5.0.1. I can't root it since its a work phone. I've used Swype for years and have been trying to use it on this phone. Despite having selected it as the default keyboard, every time the screen goes off pretty much, the stupid Samsung keyboard is set back as the default. How in the $*()*%@#) can I disable this keyboard and use Swype instead without rooting it? Why does it keep coming back up???!
Happens to me too, different ROMs, stock and custom, I had to root and kill the Samsung one, didn't find a non root method
I dont have the option for continuous input on my s7 edge. Also the keyboard is no longer auto correcting or giving suggestions above the number row on the keyboard. I did a soft and hard reboot but no change.
Samsung support was no help. I found that if you have the optical reader feature enabled under accessibility it disables predictive text and continuous input on stock Samsung keyboard.
Since updating to Nougat, I can't find a way to change my default keyboard. I've gone to Language and Input - > Virtual Keyboard but after that, selecting a keyboard doesn't switch to it. Where is the setting to specify the default keyboard?

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, none of the suggestions worked. Makes me think the keyboards are not Nougat compatible yet, at least with switching your keyboards.
The only way I can make this work is to go to Settings->Language and Input->Virtual Keyboard->Manage Keyboards
From there, I have to set all the keyboards off that I DON'T want to us. Very aggravating but it's the only way it works. Before, there was an menu that displayed what the current keyboard is, and selecting it would give you a Choose Keyboard menu where you could change the default keyboard. That is gone now under Nougat.
SwiftKey is the ONLY keyboard that actually senses when you haven't set it yet, and it will pop up the Choose Keyboard option. GBoard and the Samsung default keyboard do NOT do this at all. Guess that's why I continue to stick with SwiftKey. I only download GBoard to see what the latest updates were like. Still not completely impressed. The only saving grace the GBoard and Samsung keyboard is the ability to move the cursor. In GBoard, it's swiping across the spacebar, and with Samsung, it's swiping left or right across the keyboard itself. I know SwiftKey has the arrow keys, but they place them in the worst spot: right below the spacebar. I am constantly hitting them when I mean to tap the spacebar, so I turn them off.
I found that Samsung has a thread in their forums for discussing issues people are having with the update and they are apparently monitoring it continuously. I also contacted Samsung support via Facebook Messenger and they have noted the issue and also referred me to the same thread. Not too bad as far as response and assistance. Pretty pleased with that. Just hope they fix this issue. Sounds like it's an issue with how they have modified the stock Android Nougat settings. There should be a gear icon next to each keyboard in the Language and Input->Virtual keyboard section, but there isn't. Hopefully, they'll fix this with a later OTA update.
Here's the link to their thread for reporting issues with the latest Nougat update:

Well this stinks for alot of people, hope to see it fixed soon! I had forgotten about Perfect Keyboard Pro having the same type of instructional screen when it installs. It gave me the ability to bring up the switch keyboard screen!
Finally figured out how to quickly switch between keyboards. When your keyboard is up, just swipe down in your notifications area to bring up the notifications section. In it, you should see a notification from Android System stating Switch keyboard. Select that notification and you will be able to easily switch to another keyboard.
Too bad that wasn't documented by Samsung, but at least you don't have to go to Settings->Language and input->Virtual keyboard->Manage keyboards and then have to manually shut off all the keyboards you don't want to use in order to enable the one you want to use.
