[Q] Samsung keyboard - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wheree are the default symbols on the keyboard like ! ? This keyboard sucks is there no options? Also it's not predictive typing remembering what I use often like email address when I start typing. This keyboard sucks from the one that came on my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. Is there any damn settings in this keyboard at all or do I have to go download one?

Try holding the " , comma" down.
I installed the Google keyboard from the play store as i can change it to black instead of the white Samsung one.
John.

thanks would of never figured out to use comma

Gingerbread Keyboard

Hi,
There is a keyboard from Android 2.3 Gingerbread on the market which you should try.
I only got it for the multitouch but the spacing etc makes you type faster.
Search it on the market and try it.
Once you download it, go to settings - locale and text and tick Gingerbread keyboard. Then go to gingerbread keyboard settings - advanced and change the custom vibration to normal if you want the vibration on keypress.

I can't find it in market
EDIT: Ok I found it. It's called "Keyboard from Android 2.3" and for me Polish dictionary is not working
Can I ask if the prediction bar in samsung keyboard still has the same behavior? You know, it comes and goes as you type and it causes the text box above to jump up and down, it is actually making me dizzy.
Everytime I start to type a word, the prediction bar pops up and the text box jumps up too. Between words the prediction bar dissapears, and the text box drops down again. This is very irritating behavior because I of course always look up at the text box when writing. It's not easy to fokus on what is written when it's jumping up and down like that.
There are many kayboards on the market that have the prediction bar up all the time even when no words are typed. But there are very few with norwegian dictionarys. The one that have norwegian dictionary is not as good as the stock in Galaxy
So how can I get in touch with developers of Galaxy to force them to make the prediction bar stay up all the time??
The prediction bar shows symbols like ? ! , " etc when you're not typing so it stays up all of the time and wont jump.

chinese input on android

how to get chinese input in android? I am new to android.
I just downloaded google input IME from market place and installed, it is enabled in settings(languages), but keyboard did not change in messages and browser input. why?
any other apps will work?
The default way to change input method has been changed in ICS. Instead of long pressing at any text entry field, In ICS you will see a small keyboard icon in the left corner from the status bar when the keyboard shows up, then you can pull the status bar down and change the input method from there.
Google Pinyin IME is average. Some better options are sogou input and touchpal input. Sogou does not support ICS at this moment. But touchpal V5 works flawlessly.
I actually set default keybord to google pinyin, but then I cannot enable default english keyboard. what if I want to try other chinese keyboard? is there a way to enable multiple keyboard?
What if I want stock ICS keyboard to have Chinese? Any way I can do that?
I really like the stock keyboard and I don't want to use third party keyboard if at all possible
Also looking for this option....Surely there must be a way to switch to hand written chinese input via the stock ICS keyboard right ??? I realise that 3rd party apps are available but they are all terrible IMHO. Looking for something similar to how iPhone handles Chinese input....any ideas / suggestions ?
i'm using penpower, it not made for ics, as the writing pad does not fit the whole bottom half of the screen, but it works.
updated, just installed the ics version.
google voice input is the best. i use HK traditional.

touchpal is good too. they got chinese pack and handwriting pack.
go to System Setting > Language & keyboard > System Language. Then, scroll down and check PinYin option. You can choose handwriting too.
Later, when you're at a text box you will can toggle between English and Chinese using a "EN" key at left side of your spacebar.

Chinese Input on Kindle Fire
Anybody know which Chinese IME works for Kindle Fire. I root it successfully. Try to install Google PinYin, but it say not compatible with your device. The download button even not available.
Thanks

[Q] how to change keyboards

I have a few keyboards on my Tab S, but i can't find a way of switching between them.
I can see in my settings that i have Swiftkey, swype and the default samsung one, which it is stuck on. .. i can select either in the settings>General> Language but it doesn't affect the actual keyboard when i come to write things. .. is there a shortcut, or a setting to change the keyboards?
Otherwise, it seems the only way would be to uninstall, then reinstall. .. which seems bonkers. .
Help .. Thanks
I can change my keyboard just fine. Settings, general, language and input, then I just touch the box next the the keyboard i want and then hit default (above the samsung keyboard and pick the one i want. Heres a pictures. Maker sure you change the default to the keyblard you want.
ahh.. the default button... Obviously! Yeah.
Doh!
Thanks..

Keyboard with a ".com" button

I'm looking for something similar to the note 3's keyboard. number buttons on top and there's a "@" and ".com" buttons on the bottom.
I'm pretty sure I tried every single free keyboard on the playstore...
if someone could direct me to a zip or apk of note 3 keyboard that would work on my lg g3 I would love you eternally.
my phone is rooted btw.
LG's stock keyboard has "@" and ".com" buttons.
It also has numbers at the top.
When I'm writing an email in the gmail app, the @ and the .com appear automatically in the email field. When I change to subject field, the keyboard returns to normal. This is the normal procedure. I'm using Swype.
