[Q] How to disable onscreen keyboard.. (note 8) - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Bought a new zaggkeys for my note 8... the keyboard is really light and Im really enjoying typing with it... The only issue is that the Samsung keyboard is screwing everything up. I called samsung in regards to how I can disable the onscreen keyboard. The assistant was nice and walked me through to the applications and tried to help me force stop the keyboard. After a reboot it pretty much didnt work. The other problem that the keyboard causes is that if i press the Caps key on the keyboard the onscreen keyboard sees this like a weird command and it starts to display weird characters. Im thinking is there anything I can possibly do, some sort of app i can install, if i need to root so be it ill do it... if not would a rom allow me to disable the onscreen keyboard? And yeah I just typed all this with the zaggkeys and it was fluid and much better than the flumsy amazon keyboards. Its expensive but the cybermonday deal helped. Overall if i can disble the samsung keyboard this note would be the perfect tablet.

Is your device rooted? You can try to use root file explorer and Mount as rw and delete the apk file in system/apps

I just use an app from Play called Null Input Method.

Also try Null Keyboard. Null Input Method may be preferred because it provides an easy way to switch back on the fly if needed. YMMV

[Q] Flash games with keyboard?

Hello, is there a virtual keyboard for flash games that require it?(arrow keys, etc)
If not, does anyone know If a cheap mini bluetooth keyboard on eBay would work?
I'm really looking for a keyboard case but I don't think that'll be out for awhile.
Thanks!
Thumb Keyboard has arrow keys. A must have IME for any tablet owner imo

Yes, but can I open the keyboard anytime and use it for something like flash games?
There is no text box to open the keyboard. :/
anyone?
I am going to go out of town so I can get this tomorrow so I was just wondering if it works.
Thanks!
Dunno. Used to be you could open the keyboard by long pressing the menu button. But it doesn't work in honeycomb :-(
You could make a really fast and ugly app that just has a webview and way to navigate to the games you want to play and give yourself a button to show the keyboard.

Hmm... not sure then. I'm still looking for a bluetooth keyboard, but might just buy the official keyboard dock.

Extremely annoying keyboard lag

I have just upgraded from the HTC evo4g. I firstly rooted, then installed smart keyboard pro. I need a keyboard that types English as well as Korean, and smart keyboard pro has been my favorite so far.
The only problem is, the keyboard lags like crazy. If I type quickly, a whole bunch of letters gt skipped. For example, if I type "Mary had a little lamb" quickly, I get "Mry hd littl amb." Sometimes, some letters start becoming symbols as if I had held the key down to get a symbol.
I tried downloading other keyboards. Something called Multiling keyboard looked promising, with a very high rating. But it lags just as much with the same results.
Right now I am using google ime for korean using something called "Korean keyboard" from the market. I hate this keyboard but at least it doesnt lag so damn much.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good multi language keyboard that wont skip letters? I mean, most multilanguage keyboards lag like hell on this phone. They also seem to not be multi-touch enabled, even when they are...
Please help me out, I am so disappointed by this small (but critical!) annoyance. Thanks.

My fav keyboard is the gingerbread keyboard. Its multi-touch and should be multilanguage (i think at least)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free&hl=en
Thanks for the suggestion supdawg. Yeah I like the gingerbread keyboard but unfortuneately it doesnt support Korean input.
I actually found something called Go Keyboard and it seems promising so far. The problem with it is that the spacebar will only work if I press it two times everytime I want to space. Lol...

That sounds like something that could be fixed in the settings.
I have noticed this too. It seems the Evo4G has the best digitizer I've experienced - my ET4G consistently lags like yours. I have to type super slow or else it will only display a few letters. I've found Thumb Keyboard works better. I don't know about additional languages though.

Try "Thumb Keyboard 4"
I type really fast and this keyboard seems to keep up with me the best. Not sure if it support Korean though
If you have the hepatic feed back on i found that adds to the lag i turn the sound and haptic off and it works fine
Sent from my MoPho!
Try "go keyboard", i think it has chinese, try it and c how it is, doesnt lag for me one bit.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yeah I have my haptic feedback and sound off. I hate haptic feedback anyway. The spinny thing in the phone that makes the phone vibrate, that thing saps your battery. Also my thumbs tickle if the haptic is on.
Anyway, yeah I tried to Go Keyboard. It still lags, but nowhere near as much as smart keyboard pro. It seems to be the best so far, but the only annoying thing is that there are no symbols above the letters. Also it's very hard to make fine adjustments if I mistype some word. I can't simply take the cursor where the error is and delete each letter, I have to delete starting from the end.
Why is this phone so laggy with the inputs? Sometimes I feel like there MUST be some options somewhere, regarding the touchscreen sensitivity etc... Or, maybe we have to use terminal emulator to change some values somewhere. I swear this phone sometimes feels like it doesn't support multitouch. type 2 letters really quick, and only 1 of them inputs. What the...hell.
I have the same pet peave with the lag issue. I don't know about multi language support, but my favorite one is Better Keyboard 8 available in the Amazon appstore. Its not perfect but its the best I've seen so far with being able to handle fast typing. The keys are spaced well and the are elongated slightly vertically and seem ideal for fast accurate typing. Give it a try and let me know how you like it.

Yeah dude I would recommend you try Lostkernel, but first try Thumb Keyboard. It's the only keyboard that doesn't lag.
I was going to recommend SwiftKeyX, but there's no Korean support. I have noticed a bit of keyboard lag (words with the same letter twice) but it's prediction and word completion have always overcome the issue. Perhaps worth looking into if/when they add Asian languages.
I have thumb keyboard, and generally like it. But it (along with other keyboards I've tried) has the weird issue that it starts out great with the auto-correct suggestions, then it stops suggesting until the entire word has been typed. My wife is experiencing this oddity as well on her ET4G. Anyone else?
Chris, thanks for the suggestion to use the Lost kernel. I will give it a try and report back here how it works out.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
my keyboard only lags when I have it charging. Does anyone else have this problem? I use thumb keyboard and swiftkey
Another thing I noticed, if you turn "Popup on keypress" off, the lag seems to go away.
I have found the solution. Better keyboard 8 from the amazon market. Whoever suggested it will get thanks soon as I get to my laptop.

I'm so happy. Sooooo happy. Whoever has keyboard lag must download better keyboard 8 from the amazon app store.

[Q] is there any apps where you can connect the glide with a tablet to use keyboard?

I'm searching for a way to connect my glide to my note 10.1 so it can be easier to type without the need to buy another physical bluetooth keyboard. All suggestions welcome .
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
There was one that allowed the glide to be used as a bluetooth keyboard but unfortunately I tried it and did not work very well. It was called blue something (don't recall name exactly). Maybe it got fixed was about a year a go I tried it.

Was it a blue icon? Cos i tried out the tablet remote, and it connected easily. The problem was when I opened the keyboard and tried using special characters (/ : it just got stuck there. I heard an2an works but I haven't tried it yet.

If you have root, try LANmote.
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=lanmote
You should be able to type any characters (unicode) using LANmote.
If any special characters you type doesn't work, let me know what you did and we will fix it.
Last time I tried Droidmote, it didn't support unicode..
Sorry for the late response, I have been busy lately. Droidmote didn't work well with this phone, and neither did LANmote. But LANmote has nice features. The button mapping for the physical keyboard to my tablet is off, and has a small lag to it when typing fast. Using the buttons to move about the tablet only brings up the search bar, and pressing other buttons inputs character. Using the mouse moves the cursor, but when I click on an application, it doesn't open. I do like LANmote however. It has a simple setup feature which is easy to use.

You can always change the keyboard input mode to "Send text manually", so you type all your words first and then press enter before entire string of text are sent across to the device running LANmote.

This is obviously keymapping issue. Yes, the mouse click is also related to key mapping.
I suppose you have root on your device, right?
If you can provide logs, we might be able to see why keypresses didn't work the way it should.
As far as I know, LANmote works fine and keypresses works without issue on my Galaxy Nexus.
Does Droidmote have the same keypress issue on your Android device?
because both app use similar method, if Droidmote also have same keypress problem... the issue is likely to be with your device's OS rather than the app itself.

I am glad to know someone like LANmote.
Please feel free to put a comment on market.
We are working to improve LANmote and will have a new version as soon as we are done

Is anyone else liking the Note 3 keyboard?

I come from Swype and recently Swiftkey and find that the Note keyboard is not bad at all.
I'm very surprised to be saying this but I am enjoying it very much. Started using it to test the one handed operation as my fingers couldn't reach the "A" key with ease and have been using it since.
The engine is Swiftkey so I guess is the similar with Samsung twist. I love the fact that I can type in multiple languages simultaneously w/o having to change.
What keyboard are you guys using? What would you change or add to it?

I like it alot. I just wish I could shorten the delay of long pressing the letters for alternate symbols and punctuation. It takes way too long. Other than that I love it

I know that is one of the complaints I also have. Long press takes FOR EVER.
It would also be nice if you could do the "ctrl C" and "ctrl V" to copy and paste as you do in Swype.

I just tested my module from the note 2. SamsungKeyboardShortDelay in xposed installer. Works fine on the note3.
I've never used the Samsung keyboard really I've always been a swiftkey user, but this time around I'm really liking it and you're right maybe because the swiftkey engine? ?

I was a huge smartkeyboard pro user before buying the note 2 and seeing the 5 row keyboard it has built in. Can't reccomend samsung keyboard enough now that im hooked using it.
Sent from my note 2 ya bish!
The keyboard was one of the things I was looking forward to. Having a dedicated number row is nice. I had a note 2 keyboard mod on my gs3. Really liked it.
I am loving it, I am honestly liking it more than swift key.
I love it too, but have your guys'/gals' swiping predictions been all over the place? I'm constantly having to un learn crazy words I have never and would never use. Thinking about going back to swift key for this reason.
Btw, when I typed that, it suggested " fount beak" instead of "going back." ..rly
Edit: gonna try turning off live prediction, which might be theculprit. ..and turn on learn from Gmail and messages.
new keyboard
I'm finding the new keyboard to my liking. Having the numbers there without having to go into a sub-keyboard is really great. I like the size of the keys for when I use my fingers, and the keys are a good distance when I use the stylus too. :good:

I thought the Samsung keyboad was supposed to learn and use the words you commonly say. It never seems to pick up the words LTE or AT&T automatically for me.

Hit this thread and install xposed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467958
Launch the app and select framework then install framework.
After you have it set up, tap download from the main menu, then find the Samsung keyboard short delay module. Download and install it, then enable it in the modules menu. Reboot and it should be active.

Glad to help. Have fun with the note.
I really liked this keyboard and I WOULD LOVE TO USE IT but a couple things that im not sure i can let go from swiftkey. 1) the longpress duration (im not rooted yet) 2) i have my predictions backed up via cloud with swiftkey so it already knows my "language" and 3) WHICH IS THE BIG ONE, I LOVE swiping back to delete the word with swiftkey. This saves me so much time, I wish I can get that on this keyboard because I really like it and it seems to type more accurately. Swiftkey skips the 1st letter if i type the 2nd one too fast, and thats never happened to me on any other phone just this one. Anyway, sorry for the novel

I like it a lot. Especially the numbers on top. I installed the official Google Keyboard from the Play Store too. I like the big buttons on it, and if it had numbers on top I'd probably use it as default, so for now I switch back and forth when I feel like it.
I love the new N3 keyboard. The only thing that's bothering me is the small space bar. I also can't seem to find the setting that hides the symbols on the keyboard. Is there any way to get rid of that on the r mobile USA version?

Keyboard feature in 4.3. Help!

I've been using Sony keyboard for the past year and it was a good experience so far. Not anymore under 4.3. I'm using swype and 3 languages inputs. Before 4.3 update i was able to manually change my input language and when I wanted to input, with swype, a word and got it wrong I could just press delete once and the whole word would dissappear. Now detele works with letter by letter. And since I have 3 language dictionaries forced altogether my wrong word percentage has increased drastically.
Using swype has become really frustrating for me.
I've tried to change these features in settings but I couldn't find them.
If anybody has any suggestions on how to setup the keyboard i'd really appreciated. Thanks
If you have the apk of old keyboard covert it to a mod just
Flash it via cwm
