Hey all,
I am trying to find a keyboard I can get on with that predicts well, and doesn't lag when typing.
The built in samsung keyboard is ok, but with prediction on it lags a bit and I hate the way the text in the message thread goes up and down, up and down as you type and the keyboard brings up the list of words.
Swype built into the phone is ok, but it messes up my words if i'm typing too fast, and as I can't install the new version to tap out my messages, this one isn't the best.
As for others, i've tried swiftkey x beta, and it lags, the HTC I_mod keyboard crashes in email, smart keyboard pro lags.
The only things I definitely want, are dedicated comma and full stop keys, a dedicated smiley key, and no lag! I would love to get rid of the mic key but thats not so important.
Anyway, hope someone can recommend something.
Cheers
Biff.
try the gingerbread keyboard from the market. i used to use the free version and it was great but i upgraded to the pro version because i wanted to be able to change the size and spacing of the keys. no lag, you can set it to show/hide the comma and period keys too. on my current version when the keyboard is on screen i can press the phone's menu button and one of the options is to add a smiley. when you select that a big list pops up with the smiley pictured so it is easy to pick the right one. i used to use it on my atrix and loved it and works even better on the gs2

Hey Biffsmash
I've also been looking for a great keyboard for my SGS2 but recently I found Smart Keyboard, which is the best keyboard I've ever tried.
It is extremely customizing so you can change almost everything you want.
Size of buttons, control cursor with the volume buttons, gestures(swipe left, right, up, down), very intelligent dictionary that learn your world automatically, calibration to get the most precisely touch, customize buttons, themes, and MUCH more!
The downside of the keyboard is that it cost money, but it is a small cost and IMO it is nice to support the developer for a such good application. The Danish dictionary is also pretty small, but thanks to the smart and intelligence dictionary it doesn't really matter for me Try it!
Best regards;
Rallerbabz.

Is there a way to remove the on-screen keyboard(OSC) from popping up every time i dock my SGT? It's pretty annoying and surprising that samsung didn't notice this. I don't need an OSC popping up when i already have a keyboard present. besides, i could always call it up if i need it.
Thanks!
When you beginning typing, you will see a little keyboard icon in the notification steam. Touch it and change to the Samsung keyboard. That should do away with it. There are also two keyboard keys on the dock keyboard. One is 2-3 keys to the left of the spacebar and the other is above the shift key.
They seem to give you setting options and on demand pop up a touch keyboard

I've already tried changing to the samsung keyboard but it still keeps appearing. I know how to make it disappear by pressing on the key beside ctrl, but is there a way not to make the on screen keyboard appear at all when docked?
I have not found a repeatable amd tracable method. Sometimes changing soft keyboard to Samsung or English works go not make it appear. Sometimes it works other times it doesnt.
I am not really committing lot to figuring it out until after the TouchWiz update. But i have yet to excessively use the keyboard to be honest. So i may have more patience. It would be nice to be able to define a dock keyboard behavior and a handheld behavior. It is also annoying to switch back to thumb or swift keyboards.

I've been using Go SMS Pro recently mostly since it can display emoji. But i've noticed one really annoying thing is how the keyboard auto hides every time i send a text. Is there any way of preventing this from happening? It can get pretty annoying when you're having a back-and-forth with someone.
I'm running ICS on a galaxy nexus, the keyboard im using is swiftkey X.
Thanks in advance
I'd like to know as well. I have the same issue. Running Samsung Galaxy S2 E4GT with Swiftkey and Go SMS.
I like everything about the Samsung Keyboard, except for one thing. The XT9 autocorrect bar.
Is there any way to permanently make that thing stay up? It goes up and down everytime I hit space to get to the next word and it's driving me nuts.
Good morning,
First of, I did use GOOGLE and the search button on here but couldn't get my answer. So, here I am.
Ok, I like both Samsung and Google keyboards, but on Samsung keyboard, I installed my national language so I can talk to my dad and it is perfectly working for me. However, when I type English, I prefer Google keyboard because it does not predict with the mix of my language like the Samsung and screw up my typing.
On the Google keyboard, I can simply hold the space bar and the keyboard switching window pops up and let me choose other keyboard.
My question is, can I setup the Samsung keyboard to have the same effect so I can switch back and forth between the keyboards without going through the setup menus ?
Thanks!
