The damn word suggestion bar. I love that it's there. I hate that it appears and disappears. I type the last word of my text, then after a second or less, the auto suggestion box disappears. So? So every damn time I go to hit send, it moves as I'm about to do so and I end up hitting add attachment instead.
I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. Is there a setting I'm missing or some way I can fix this?
I have the same problem, hit attach all the time. I turned off auto-insert-auto-suggest (not sure what they really call it) long ago, I'm considering turning off auto-suggest entirely which should make that bar go away. The downside of course is it often has the correct word I need when I realize I've made a mistake. Lately I've just been forcing myself to wait a second before trying to hit send.
What really sucks is the fact that Swype is actually completely broken on the Note. You can't Swype fast at all on it.

Definitely DO NOT have this problem. lol Maybe broke on your note?
Same problem here.
I would also like to find a way to remove some of the buttons in the bottom row and make the space bar larger.
I am always inserting periods instead of spaces. My.sentences.look.like.this.
The EN (english) and comma buttons are unneeded on the main screen. Swype button and voice can be combined.
Alot of people on here use thumb keyboard. I tried it and it's pretty good. I prefer the swiftkey x tablet but just cuz that's my preference. Check them out if you are not liking swype.

Pretty sure it's broke for every Note. Just Swype back and forth super fast and see if you get a bunch of random little words. Was confirmed by the devs and they said it's not a priority right now to fix.
My Note is fine.
after installing the apk from the international note section, swype is properly sized and does not have any strange issues. I still dislike the layout however.
I tried to register for Swype forums but was not able to log in.
Im always hitting the insert button.
Can you share the spook from the Swype that you are talking about

I'm using this now and am loving it. No issues and no matter how fast I swype a word it seems to recognize the gesture.. not sure what issues others are having with speed.

Ok Getting tired of this.. I Hate HTC keyboard, but I love Gingerbreads.. However I hate the Fact that when I text someone or type its looks like this :
hello.this.is.a.test to. see what.happens
The Perioid is in the way or the spacebar needs to be bigger I cant decide? Anyone else have this issue?
I Tried using swype but I dont have the Patients for it. Its a great concept just not for me? Any Solutions out there?
Is there anyway to get the OG Droids soft keyboard layout on the Tbolt?
I don't know what's wrong with your keyboard but I'm typing this on gingerbread keyboard and its working fine. I don't have any issues with it. I have also used Swype but for some reason, lately it doesn't seem to figure out what I'm trying to swype so I switched to this keyboard and have been quite happy.

Download the gingerbread keyboard from the market. That's what I finally had to do. I had the same issues. Just the way I use the keyboard i guess.

I'm the same way. The only respite I've found is from using other keyboards from the market. Just look around and try some different ones, and find out which works best for you.
I found that if I make the settings key always hide and move the mic key to the symbols page it makes the spacebar a bit longer and easier to hit w/o touching the period. might be worth a shot for you guys.

Care to share? I'm not seeing it.
Settings > language & keyboard > gb keyboard > voice input
You also might want to try out swiftkey, as I haven't had any issues with it. It is leaps and bounds better than the stock keyboard.
is there a way to change the "done" button to "send" like in the regular froyo keyboard? annoying to have to press the "done" button and select "send" in the next screen.
UPDATE: Noticed this only happens in landscape mode. Regular view shows "send" key and "attachment key". what gives? is this a flaw in the app?

Nothing beats Swiftkey. Most ingenious keyboard around and works as well as advertised. I just don't like that sometimes it lags as it pulls predictions from my history. Maybe because I have so many SMS?
The trick with the mic and settings key (set to always hide) worked! Thanks. I like the GB keyboard for a change of pace.

This. And I hid the voice and settings buttons to make the spacebar bigger. But I am using swiftkey, its better in my opinion. The prediction engine is excellent and saves me from typing at all.
so I like the stock Samsung keyboard but I hate that they have the button on the lower right side to accept pen input. I never use it and it makes the spacebar so small that I always it a period instead of a space. anyone know if there is a way remove it so that the.space bar.is.larger....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I don't but I'm sure others will.
On another note(LOL), I absolutely hate that keyboard. The pop up from the keys you press are so obnoxiously large, and the way the area where the auto correct disappears when you hit space and reappears when you start typing another word bugs my eyes out like crazy. I do like the size and the appearance of the keyboard. But I hate it so much it drives my eyes nuts.
The stock android one works how I'd like it too, however its incredibly small for the size of the phone.
The stock swype I like but it ****s up in apps like textfree and sometimes glitches and only takes one touch inputs making fast typing impossible.
I have go keyboard but have not used it yet. From what I see I'm not sure it has what I readdy want which I guess would be a mix of stock Samsung size. Stock android look. And swype ability that doesn't mess up. Does anyone know of that?
I agree that it does have some annoying features but so.far.for.me.the auto correct has been the best...I have been using swiftkey tablet version but the auto correct is.horrible and. rarely picks up the mistakes and fixes them correctly

I searched this forum. I dont know if it is Android specific or device specific. All I know...theres this super annoying problem. While wtiting in the text box, if the message im writing gets long and I have to correct a typo I made or simply want to move the cursor to another location in the paragraph, the dumb cursor bounces off the spot I selected and goes someplace far off..sometimes even 3 or 4 lines up. Sometimes it just wont move there no matter how many times I touch that spot. Its like it bounces off it and goes someplace else. If the message is short, it doesnt do this.
Is there any fix for this hella annoying problem? It makes it extremely difficult to edit what I wrote.
Stock device? Have you thoroughly tested your screen to rule out display problems? This problem is certainly not present with my device, but I had a similar issue on my Droid incredible that was fixed by changing roms.

Also happens on some touchscreens when you are charging and nudge the cord in the port a bit. The power fluctation causes the digitizer to spaz out until unplugging, or locking and unlocking the screen while plugged still.
If you ask me I'd say its pure stupidity on HTC's part. I miss my inc that had the trackpad. All I'm saying is this. If there isn't going to be a physical way built into the front of the device to move the cursor then atleast include on screen arrows like in Sense 4. To me its just dumb that the only way to move the cursor is to touch where you want to correct. Its this reason alone that I don't enjoy typing on my Rezound like I did on my Eris or Incredible.

Agreed. You get used to it though. Sort of.
You could try reseting the calibration in settings.

But no one wants trackballs anymore. It's all about the massive screens and battery draining. I miss my Inc too. RIP trackball. Another option would be to download swiftkey. you can turn on arrows on the keyboard. makes life easier.
There are already flashables of the arrowed keyboard for 3.6.
I have a similar problem when pasting text. You put the cursor and tap and hold where you want to paste, and it jumps and selects some other text. If you hit paste, then it wipes what you previously wrote.
What's up with that?
To answer everyone... Its stock 2.3.4 ROM. And it does this regardless if it is plugged in to a charger or not. I have calibrated in the past for other reasons, but I dont think thats the problem. It seems to happen only when theres at least 4 lines or more of text. The more text in the box, the worse the problem becomes. It's not like a calibration issue. Because when you touch the spot in the text box to move the cursor there, the cursor actually does move there ..but only for a brief micro-second as it quickly bounces off that spot and lands some places else. Like I said, it only starts happening as you start to get 4 or more lines in the box. Now this box here in the quick reply, its not giving me any trouble ...yet. but some forums that use small text boxes and Facebook especially..omg its bad at facebook..
Ah yes, I'm on ICS (Newt's XXX ROM to be specific) and I believe I see what you are talking about. Typed a long response in the comment box on the Facebook app, and when scrolling the paragraph the caret does indeed bounce. It is essentially trying to stay within the tiny viewing window.
Actually I dont use the Facebook app, cant stand it. I use the browser. Either the mobile or the full site.
lol Yes, the app is rather crummy. The issue persists in the mobile version of the site and the full site to a lesser extent, depends on the amount of viewing space and amount of text. Consistent with your symptoms.
Leaning towards it being an Android problem or at least HTC Sense problem rather than specifically this device as a result. Newt's XXX ROM is a Sense 4 port after all.
Hmm. It seems to vary by page, for me. But yes, Facebook definitely does this, but so does Discus. I think it's a problem with Flash. Anyway, I "select all" and "cut" then reload the page and paste my text back in. Then I can navigate around the text normally for a while.
This even happens in the text entry window in xda, if I use the website instead of Tapatalk. I am also pretty sure this happened with my DInc as well.

Yes, I've seen it sometimes. To compound the problem, sometimes the arrow keys on the Sense keyboard don't work properly; the left/right arrows instead move the cursor up and down.
+1 on missing the Inc's optical "trackball". Never knew how much I used it until I didn't have it.

Arrow keys on sense? Where? Did not see any. Thats why I love swiftkey x because it had them arrows and they were a lifesaver. Only reason im jot using it now is because I did not purchase SKx yet. And skx kept causing problems in some IM apps I use. Its now Swiftkey 3. And im seeing some bad reviews of things I dont like. Will wait... Unless there is some other quality keyboard app ..yes quality..not clutzy..and have arrows. I thought about the Hackers keyboard but....ehh rather small keys and is better suited for landscape or a touchpad.
Arrowed Keyboard.
I'm going to revive this old thread because I'm having exactly the same problem as described in the first post, but on three different devices. First one is my S4 with stock but rooted 4.2.2 using TouchPal keyboard (great cut/paste/arrow keys/select/select all functionality), second is an old Android tablet running 4 something, lastly my brand new Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, which is stock 4.3 with stock keyboard.
They all exhibit the same behavior, text entry works fine until I move the cursor position then I can't get back to the end of what I'm writing, only seems to happen when I'm using a browser (Boat Browser) and trying to reply to a forum, might try a different browser and see what happens. When it happens it completely breaks the cursor control options in TouchPal with whole sections of text just disappearing when trying to move the cursor via the keyboard. Once it's happened even submitting the post and editing it again still often has the same problem.
I think this is just an Android thing, I run across it from time to time on various devices as well, and just tap somewhere else in the text, then drag the cursor to the end of the text and continue.
But that's the thing, you try and drag the cursor to the end and it's as if it's on elastic and springs back.
I like predictive text, but I don't like than on my gs3 it replaces what I'm actually typing. Is there any way to change this behavior?
For example, say I'm typing "reason". Until I type "o" it says "areas" in the typing field (hiding "reas"). I want it to show me "reas", but also suggest "areas" in the area above the keyboard (so simply turning off predictive text isn't ideal).
+1
I also find this behavior extremely annoying. It wasn't like that in the GS2.
Just download a new keyboard! One that you like. I personally like Swiftkey 3. Some people say the swipe beta is pretty good too. However I have never used it.
Ics keyboard is free if you want to try, I go with Swiftkey, the extra bucks is wroth it IMO

+1 for android power of being able to pick your keyboard! There are *tons* of great keyboards out there, go check 'em out and find one that meets your needs!
For the record I use swiftkey and my wife likes gokeyboard.
When they keyboard pops up hold the microphone button left of the spacebar until a new menu pops up. From that menu select the setting icon. You can turn off and mess around with the predictions there.
I started using SwiftKey shortly after writing this post. I like it fairly well.
Anyone else think the Sense input has taken a major step backward?
Predictive typing is awful I am having to turn it off basically.
I typed "jackets" in a message and it sent "hackers"....WTF?? I didn't mis-type or stop typing early either.
Seems to have no clue when adding a possessive apostrophe on a word, keeps putting "so" instead.
hitting space bar is often missed, like there's a sweet spot or something, leading to typing 3-4 words together.
Makes it damn hard to properly text and drive.
J/K about that last part.

I have actually seen this too when i flash a new rom and use the stock keyboard for a bit. sometimes I like to try out the stock keyboard but I always use the google keyboard dictionary as the auto correct thingy. You can pick which auto correct dictionary to use.
I am surprised that sense 7 didn't do anything exciting. The M8 with sense 6/7 is really the same features as the M9 outside of dolby audio. I wanted to be excited but just wasnt.
