It's not an issue, it's a "feature". Keyboard works only with pc. You can write with your tab, copy it and then paste it using sidesync.

You can run mightytext . All your sms will show up on the tab.

I updated the Sidesync app on both my Note 3 and my Tab S, but I still can't get the on screen keyboard to pop-up.
What else did you do to get it to work? Are you using the Samsung keyboard for both devices or a 3rd party keyboard like SwiftKey?

SwiftKey doesn't work, need to use Samsung keyboard. Guess that other third party keys doesn't work either.

I had this issue too - you have to be running a TouchWiz rom, Samsung keyboard and at first my stock Samsung keyboard wasn't working, I had to install an S5 keyboard for sidesync to work.

Sidesync Update
Taking the advice of a few on this thread, I finally got the keyboard to "popup" on my 10.5" Tab S when using the phone's messaging app. I'm currently running the S5 messaging app on my Note 3.
I had to set both my Note 3 AND my Tab S to the default Samsung keyboard, and make sure both were running the latest Sidesync app.
When the keyboard does popup via Sidesync, unfortunately it's in a small format and can't be resized or moved.
I'm not a big fan of Samsung's keyboard and have been using Swiftkey since it first came out. Hopefully, with future updates, Sidesync may eventually work with 3rd party keyboards.

Thanks bigfoune for the video that's it

whoa....I want that also....the gingerbread one though, way better than the samsung one
I hate the Samsung keyboards, as the comma is hidden!
Why on earth would they make it so difficult to use a comma?
Try Swype, you'll love it after a while!
the Samsung keyboard uses some classes from touch wiz, so I am not sure how easy it will be to export it to galaxy s..
I have attached a ZIP file, including, the keyboard APK and ODEX, and the touch wiz framework JAR.
although I think that you will need to dex the odex file intigrate it with the APK, and probably also need some of the framework classes from touchwiz JAR..
I am not sure if I can help you any further with this, but I can atleast give it a try if you have any questions..
I don't use touchwizz, i use a blue gingerbread launcher, can i install the galaxy SII keyboard?
i see people downloaded it, does it work??

It is not important that you use another launcher, it is important whether or not you have installed another ROM on your device.
even though you have installed another launcher, TouchWiz is still running in the background..
I dont have an Galaxy S(1), so I can't directly help you achieve your goal,
I can try to edit the APK file, and include the classes that it needs, but you will have to try it on your phone, without I have tested it first. (it shouldn't be necessary to be root)
but first of, someone have downloaded the files, so maybe someone can reply if it worked or not..

I have changed some of the settings on the original Samsung Keyboard for Galaxy SII
now it shows a comma, instead of dot.
and I just use double space to make a dot.
I have the files to get it working on a galaxy S2, not sure if they will work on any other devices, and you need to be root.

Nice! But I would like the comma on the left side of the space, and the dot (punctuation mark) on the right side So I'm sticking with Steven Lin's Gingerbread Keyboard for now.
BUMP
Has anyone actually got this working?
I would reather see keyboard from LG Optimus 2X to get ported then Galaxy S 2 (=
Try this for the LG keyboard

Is there a download link available? It has been included in a few roms, but i can't find a apk or zip type of file anywhere.

keyboard reverts to default after reboot

I'm using Swifkey 4 (BTW, if you aren't using this, you're missing out) and randomly the keyboard started to revert back to the default after I reboot. Very annoying.
Any suggestions?

It's an issue with SwiftKey. It's not sticking with reboots. Hopefully they fix it in the next release.

In the meanwhile (I don't think it's Swiftkey's problem) All you need to do is freeze the stock keyboard and it'll stay on whichever keyboard you assign. You are not the only one having the default keyboard always muscle in after a reboot!
Good Luck!
Aloha.....
Yeah I'm having the same issue, was working fine on SwiftKey Flow Beta. I just uninstalled the android and swyoe keyboard that came with wicked.

If it's not a SwiftKey problem, my phone just coincidentally started doing this the second I installed SwiftKey 4.. And coincidentally stops doing it whenever I set a different keyboard as default.

How do you "freeze the stock" Keyboard?

Either uae titanium backup and look for the keyboard, click on it and you have an option to freeze. Or go to settings>application manager> swipe all the way to the right and look for the keyboard, click on it and it gives you the option of disabling it.
Also I did a fresh install of my rom and now it's sticking after reboots

It is a Google problem that primarily affects people using Android 4.1.1. The play store encrypts paid apps to mnt/asec. The problem is that when android 4.1.1 boots up, it establishes services like keyboards before asec is mounted. This means that SwiftKey isn't seen until after the default keyboard is established. It is supposed to be fixed in 4.1.2.
I cannot speak for the previously mentioned workaround (either for our against) , but I have one that has worked for me. Backup your SwiftKey installation with TiBu, uninstall it, reboot, then restore SwiftKey with TiBu. I hope one of these solutions work for you.

I've the same problem with android 4.1.2 MA2 and galaxy s3.
Probably it depends on Swiftkey and not Android itself....

I just noticed this was the T-Mobile galaxy s3 forum, but I found this through Google, but on my stock at&t I747 when I reboot not only is Swype no longer default, but most of my defaults are reset, so I asked someone @ the at&t store, and they nonchalantly replied, "yeah that's normal". So, reading this response that it's a 4.1.1 issue on xda puts my mind at ease.
I can now just chock it up to another one of those wonderful phenomena (bugs) on this device.
Please excuse any typos, as I wrote this using my gs3 using chrome
If you are rooted, the problem is quite trivial to resolve.
Thank God the guy you spoke to was intelligent enough to give you the right answer. Hes right. Swiftkey Team said any OS under 4.1.2 was affected by that bug.

I use ADW paid launcher and when I reboot, I have to choose the default launcher each time. I have Swype and I have the same problem. I've reset the device to full factory a few times and the problem still comes back. I thought that it was only me.
Glad to know I'm not alone.
I reinstalled the rom and didn't choose samsung keyboard but the other one listed, nothing else selected and reboot the phone. Installed SwiftKey and don't have problems anymore with swift not sticking after reboot.

[Q] Android 4.2.2 Keyboard AOSP

Hey All,
Jelly Beer's 4.2.2 update worked great on my Samsung S3. However, I went out and purchased a new Note 2 GT-N7100 T-Mobile T889. I love the phone. The only problem is that I got used to the keyboard that the guys included in with Jelly Beer 4.2.2 update. In the Input settings, the keyboard is listed as Android keyboard (AOSP). That's the keyboard that I want.
The one that came with the Note 2 is Samsung's own and it's awful. Yes, yes, yes, I've installed just about every other keyboard out there. I've purchased the paid versions and all. Still, nothing does the job as well as the keyboard AOSP. I was literally going to toss the phone because I can't type on it. Then I started to use the gesture part of it, and I'm getting used to that. However, I still want the AOSP one. I've looked all over in the Play store and nothing.
Does anyone have the direct link or the actual .apk that I can download?
Would really appreciate it.

I am wanting the same thing.
yes, there is a google keyboard in the app store. but its not the same as AOSP, AOSP has the symbols as long hold on the letter keys. and you can long press the "." and slide to choose ?! and others.
I tried pulling out the aosp keyboard from carbon rom, if I just install it, it works, but no sliding to type (like swype) and if I move it to system/app and set permissions, then reset, it just force closes... so... it kind of works... but I would really like to be able to slide type.

Handwriting Issues

I'm having problems with the handwriting on my Note 10.1 (P-600 rooted). When using the handwriting, sometimes the word recognition font is huge causing me to over-write the word and cause errors. Other time the font is the normal size and all is well. This behavior is not predictable. It happens no matter what applications I'm using. The behavior is the same using either the included s-pen or my Bamboo Feel. Samsung customer support had me factory reset the device and that didn't help at all. Has anyone else had this issue and can give me some insight?

Just downloaded it and it seems like just what I need. My only use for the Sammy KB was the handwriting. I use Swype any other time. Thanks for telling me about it! This app also solves the problem of the Sammy KB constantly switching back to the touch keypad when I press the enter key!! This looks like an all around winner for heavy s-pen users like me.
I'd recommend using SPenBoard Switcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46236231), to have Stylus beta with S Pen and any other keyboard without.

The only problem with that is that I never use the included s-pen. I purchased a Bamboo feel for my first generation Note 10.1 and I still use it on my new Note 10.1 with no problem. I think I have only used the included spen 3 times.

It doesn't appear when you use the built in Samsung keyboard. If you install the stock Google Keyboard it shows up.
