I've just got to be missing something easy here. When I first got my S3, it had nice icons for @ and '.com' inserts within the keyboard. I installed SmartKeyboard Pro, used it for a few minutes then uninstalled it.
I am now not able to get my original Samsung Keyboard back to its original state with the @ and '.com' keys. I have been through every setting in the keyboard area with no luck.

On the main keyboard screen? Those are context sensitive. If there is a text field that declares it as an email form it will have them otherwise it doesn't. The @ sign is on the symbol keyboard and .com has to be manualy typed out.
fwiw, swiftkey 3 is phenomenal and on sale for a short period of time.
that only appears when whatever your doing requires that. I don't think you can have a preset with them always on, but that would be nice

And if the field is set up correctly. For example, in HTML, you can tag the field as to the type of input that is expected. Good HTML would always list the email address correctly, and your keyboard would always have the @ and .com

Any suggestions on how to stop Samsung virtual keyboard from popping up when using Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 keyboard dock?
The only idea I have seen so far is to use Titanium to delete the stock Galaxy Tab 10.1 keyboard?
Thanks!
Surely you could freeze it using titanium backup rather then uninstall it completely
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using Tapatalk
Thank you for your reply.
I have never used Titanium and never rooted a device.
I guess it must be time to try both
what rom are you using? It shouldn't pop up at all if you are using the samsung keyboard.
As ezcats said, it shouldn't pop up all the time... The first time I used mine, it did, but just push the key on the physical keyboard to bring down the on-screen keyboard and shouldn't pop up anymore. It doesn't on the Canadian stock 3.2 anyway.

Every time I touch the screen, the virtual keyboard pops up. Is there anyway to stop this from happening when using the keyboard dock?
I'm using the galaxy note 10.1, but this was a thread I found in my google search. I figure the same would apply.

I had the same issue and found a work around from another member. Go to the play store and install the 'Null Keyboard' app.
When you first drop the Tab in to the keyboard, you will get a message about the device will be using the default on screen keyboard. After acknowledging the message, press the keyboard key on the physical keyboard. Then touch the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen and select 'Null Keyboard'. Done, no more on screen keyboard when touching an input field on the screen.
The only downside is that you will have to go through this process every time putting the Tab in the keyboard dock.

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.
I LOVE certain features of the stock keyboard (ie: the handwriting and the separate number row) but I'm having trouble teaching the keyboard new words. I tried it like it works in swype where you type it out once and then click it in the little suggestion row, and it SEEMS to work...but it actually doesn't.
Example: If I'm typing a text and I type a word it doesn't know and click it in the box, if I use that word again in the same text, or possibly even in another text sent soon afterword, it will suggest the word when I "swype" it. But then if I go to a browser and try to do that word in a search box it didn't actually learn it.
Is there any way to reliably teach this thing new words? The help and tutorials that come with the keyboard on the phone are less than impressive.
So far the handwriting and separate numbers make it worth it to use, but i'm growing tired of typing out melbell every time I do anything.

You can capitalize if you Swype up past the top of the keyboard then come back down and continue swiping. Like for "hello" start at the h, Swype upwards, then over to the e. Hard to explain, but let me know if you get it.

That's what I assumed too because that's how Swype works (which is the keyboard I'm used to), but I haven't been able to get that to work on the Samsung keyboard.

Thanks. Used this for a while but had to go back to Swype. I liked having Google voice input back instead of Dragon but I found the punctuation input to be frustrating. Now only if there was a way to use Google voice input with Swype typing I would be happy. I also like that Swype has some cool features like swiping for cut and paste etc.

Finally Google puts out an official solution. The others seemed to lag to a point no matter what.
If Google would put a comma key somewhere on the main keyboard I'd use it. Until then...

You go into the settings and make it put the mic on the symbols keyboard - bam, the comma is on the main keyboard. I had a Nexus for a long time, I had the same gripe. But just do what I said and your problem is solved.

Hello, I read that many people like the Logitech PRO keyboard. It seems to be a bit heavy. Generally speaking, which is better? The official samsung keyboard or the Logitech PRO keyboard?
Depends on your use. I prefer the Samsung one, much thinner. The logitech makes the whole package too thick.
On the other hand the Logitech has the better keyboard and offers better protection for bothe the front and back.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Thanks. Do both of them have automatic on/off, copy and paste keys?
The Logitech Pro definitely makes the entire package more book-like, and it also only has one angle setting AND it does not support portrait mode. Those are the only knocks against it, though. I love the keyboard. I use my Note PRO 12.2 for work and having a keyboard every bit as good as a laptop's is the critical feature for me.
The only thing I'm struggling with is trying to remap the hotkeys to my preferred apps. I want the internet key to launch Habit Browser not stock browser, for example. I know it's doable but I haven't had time to really grapple with it.
Hello, unfortunately my options for keyboards are limited. The Logitech PRO is not available in my city.
This is my first tablet. How useful it is to have Android keys on the keyboard? There are two main types:
1) Android specific keyboards such as:
a) Samsung Galaxy Bluetooth keyboard (0.8lb)
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/BKB-10USWEGXAR
b) Samsung Compact Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard(not sure if the spec is correct 0.96lb)
http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/pcs-accessories/AA-SK7PWBB/US
I tried this one. It is very light but the keys are a bit too close. Easy to make mistakes.
2) Android compatible keyboards such as:
Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/bluetooth-illuminated-keyboard-k810?crid=26
I tried it today. Not sure about the weight compared with the Samsung's but the keys are very comfortable to type.
I am trying to choose between these three. Any suggestion?
Hello,
Which of the following two Samsung keyboard is comfortable to type and lightweight?
1. Samsung Galaxy Bluetooth Keyboard EE-BT550
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EE-BT550UBEGUJ
2. Samsung Galaxy Bluetooth Keyboard BKB-10USWEGXAR
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/BKB-10USWEGXAR
I tried the NotePRO 12.2 Keyboard Cover with keyboard. Although it is light, it is not comfortable to type on due to the long raised strip from the ctrl key to the end arrow key. See the photo:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EE-CP905UWEGUJ
Does the Logitech PRO keyboard has this problem? Too bad they don't make a white version. My device is in white color.
The Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 is very comfortable to type on but heavier to carry than the above mentioned Samsung keyboards.
Thanks.
As a writer, I've been using the samsung bkb10 bt kb and love it. It's light, fast, with great tactile feel, and it has a number of hot keys for the note pro 12.2. It's white and I use it with the great samsung s action mouse. My black 32 gb tab is in a black moko slim case. I didn't want a permanent case-kb like the logitech. I can fit my tab, kb and mouse in a bag a little over an inch thick. Together, the case, kb and mouse cost me $65.00. It's a great set up.

I too am a writer and I'm trying to get by with the Logitech Pro. I opted against the Samsung keyboard because of its raised edges on the lower corners. So far it's a mixed bag. It's just fast enough for me, comfortable and quiet. However, it doesn't put the device to sleep when you close it, doesn't have an obvious (or possibly any) way to reassign macro buttons and the browser macro button always asks you to choose the browser you want if you have more than one installed.

You can try External Keyboard Helper Pro for that
Spere, do you say that because you've found it to work? Frankly, I grabbed the demo and am entirely confused by it. I don't see anything about how to reassign buttons. I tried to scan the keyboard scan code but it doesn't work. Instead of providing a scan code it just loads the app Logitech assigned. Makes me think it's hard-coded.

I said it as an idea. I use that app with my old Logitech keyboard. If buttons seems to be hard coded, don't know would shortcut be changeable if you somehow find key codes for those button? I can also try it tomorrow..
For what it's worth, I spoke to Logitech support today and they essentially were useless. They said this keyboard has hard-coded application keys that cannot be changed and that the browser bug isn't a bug. The old, it's a feature! You get to pick which browser you want every single time you hit the button.
Does Samsung Keyboard support Arabic?
hi,
just a quick question, does any of both Samsung Keyboards support Arabic? or can be added in any way?
Thanks

Here's my question: Have you tried this yourself or just basing this on common knowledge? Why do I ask? Because, at least for me and on every Note Pro I've tried with that keyboard (took it to the store to try a few units) that doesn't work.
One of the main bugs of the keyboard is that when you hit the Browser macro button, it doesn't matter what browser is set as the default. It's going to pop up a dialog box asking you to choose the default. No matter what you hit next (Always or Just Once) it will ask again and again and again. It's actually in your best interest to say Just Once. Why? Because wasting your time by saying Always will just cause another box to pop up telling you how to clear the default setting later if you don't want that. Saying Just Once at least skips that step.
I'd be curious to see what would happen if you only have one browser installed but both "Internet" and "Chrome" come preinstalled on the device so there's no testing that unless you root and freeze one of them. I haven't had the need to root yet so I haven't.

If I'm right, you don't need to have root to freeze Chrome
Go settings - general - applications - all - find Chrome from list and choose it - select Turn Off
I don't have my NP with me right now, so I'm not sure if that path is correct, but you'll find it

Thanks for that. It actually helped gain more insight into the problem but doesn't actually provide a solution.
So, turning off Chrome allows the Browser key to work without annoyance. The only problem is, it only works for the default Browser called "Internet". There is no way to turn off that browser.
It got me wondering about the other keys. I want my own calendar app to launch but turning off the default calendar seems risky.
I have the Logitech keyboard and I really like it. I was worried about the extra weight and thickness but I'm glad I went with this one. It feels more like an actual notebook in terms of utility because it's easier to bring it around with me or throw in a bag without it getting damaged.
There are a couple issues that I did have which may not be specific to this keyboard. One was that when you hit space while still holding down shift it does not insert a space and instead displays the current language which is super annoying (apparently I hit space before releasing shift A LOT). You can fix this by simply changing to a different virtual keyboard app (eg: the default google keyboard or swiftkey). The other issue I had is that the back button is in the position where you normally have escape key but it doesn't always seem to function the same as escape would. I think it is actually a different key code. I fixed that by remapping caps lock to escape (so now I have no caps lock but I never use that anyways).
Has anyone got the F1-F12 function keys to work with this? So far when I hit FN+MACRO it will just open the browser or calendar or whatever.. I was hoping this wouldn't be the case.
The ZAGG keyboard and Samsung keyboard has blue F1-F12 keys on them, so I was hoping this one would function that way also.. It's really annoying when using remote desktop.
So far I haven't been able to find any way to remap the keys on this thing..
I'm really hoping some more keyboard options emerge for this tablet..
I'm afraid we're all pretty screwed with this tablet with regard to keyboards. The Samsung keyboard is fully functional but doesn't hold the tablet. It just sits in a slot in the keyboard so it's unstable when sitting in bed, etc. The Zagg is very low quality and this one is the best of the lot but has a number of seemingly permanent problems that Logitech appears to have zero interest in addressing. I used to have some pull over there years ago but now my e-mail to upper management didn't even get a reply.
