Hello Community! I hope you can help me!
The problem is if i want to change the input method (e.g. from Android's to Touchpal) the window (where i can choose what keyboard i want to use) pops up but closes half of a second later by itself. So i can't switch to another keyboard out of e.g. Tapatalk or Messaging.
So this happens to me in almost any application. But what i can do is to choose the input methid in -settings> language and input- without a problem.
I don't know what to do. Can you help me?
Greetings

When you install TouchPal open it. Has 3 steps to setup the thing.

I know. That doesn't help. No matter if I use Swype, Touchpal, Swiftkey or any other keyboard. The problem still exists.
So the little window which pops up when I click "change input method" in status bar disappears immediately without letting me the chance to choose a keyboard.

Has anybody worked out how to remove the language bar which pops up when texting yet? If I have the sudden urge to switch to Catalan half way through a text I will do it long-hand, that bar takes up too much of the already small screen!
Could you post a photo of what you mean,cost I don't get any language bar come up

I cant post a pic of it at the moment, but let me try to explain it better. When i go to enter text using the hardware keyboard a blue bar appears at the bottom of the screen (taking up approx 1/5 of the screen) with "Eng" on the left and an icon to show the status of the Caps lock on the right, along with a close button. This annoys the hell out of me as often when filling in passwords etc it covers up the "Ok" button.
Only way I found on mini pro is
Settings - Locale & Text
Uncheck the default input tick box
This works well on mini pro but stops you using virtual keyboard

Is a good intermediate solution but someone knows a way to get rid of this bar without losing the virtual keyboard?
It's build in built-in keyboard and I think it could not be removed (not easily without root hacks). The half-solution without root is to use another software keyboard.
Yeah installing third party keyboard software gets rid of the blue language bar.
I'm using SlideIt Keyboard which changes the virtual keyboard to a funky Swype-like keyboard but removes the language bar when using the hardware keyboard.

Can anyone recomend a decent keyboard replacement.
Also, i've asked this before (didn't get much of a reposnse) but is there a way to get spell check with the hardware keyboard?

I use AnySoftKeyboard, which is free and provides a reasonably good keyboard for when I don't want to open the hardware keyboard.

Currently there doesn't appear to be one.
I have ended up installing AnySoft keyboard too. Its ok, but removes the function where you could long-press a key to access the blue alternate option on it. It has removed the language bar though so its good enough for me!

Hello there, kids - you gotta love 'em!
Its one of the east things to sort out (don't let her near your pattern lock!) go into you messaging app and in the text input box long press, you will get a popup and one should say 'Input Method' select this and then select either Android or Standard (or whatever other keyboard you are using).
Thx so much.

Thanks, was also having the same problem here. Dunno how i managed to do this without noticing, but problem solved.
Hello People,
I would like to know how to swiftly change the input method without going to settings?
(Yes, I have searched and there is another similar thread here. I tried that method but it doesn't work).
I have Swype Beta (the new one) and SwiftKey3 along with the original android keyboards / input options..
So one way to change is to go to the settings and change the input method from there.
But I would like to know if there is a way to quickly change without going to settings? Say, from the SMS window or the browser text input field etc...
Previously I remember the long press on the text input field used to bring up input options - But nothing happens now when long pressing.
Another thing - I do see this keyboard icon in the notifications bar on the top but when I click on that the pop up window with the different input options just blinks and disappears. It doesn't stay and let me chose an input option.
So can someone please tell me how to get this done?
Thanks in advance.. Cheers.
If you're on ICS, by default you get a notification to select input method whenever you use your keyboard (the one you mention in your post). It worked fine for me in stock ROMs and it's currently working fine for me with CM9.

I 'see' the notification at the top in the notification bar but when I pull the bar down and click on 'select input method', there is a pop up window that pop's up and disappears almost the next millisecond.. So basically it just blinks.. So at the moment, the only way I can change the input method is by going through the settings... So basically I can't do anything with that notification at the top....
I don't know if this is some issue with Go Launcher and pop up window / notification settings (I am trying to check from that perspective as well as posted a link to this thread in the official Go Launcher thread here on XDA)..
Update:
I have tried to remove Swype Beta and SwiftKey 3.. but still the problem remains! The pop up window (brought up by clicking the select input method notification) doesn't stay..
I have no idea where the problem lies.. It would be nice if someone can help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.
Edit
Please see here
The issue was because of Go Launcher!!
When I type text, the keyboard automatically loads one of the three suggested words on top of keyboard (usually the wrong one of course) into my text making typing a real pain in the rear.
How do I get rid of these suggested words?
It usually loads the center word. The left hand word is usually the one I want.
Also the "word prediction" field in the settings area is dimmed meaning I have no access to green check mark.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, why do the "image verification" letters in this forum have to be so blurry? I have to reselect numerous times before I get one I can read.
You could try another third party keyboard. I hate the stock keyboard so I got swift key and have been using it for 2 years. You could try it out I really enjoy it and if you like it, but it will fix your issue your having with the stock one.

You can touch the word you want and it will fill it in to what you are typing. Also under Settings/Language&Keyboard/HTC Sense Input/Advanced you can only turn off word prediction if you uncheck trace keyboard.
Swift key app
Purchased swift key app.
Works great!
Thanks
I had and hate swift key with a passion, misinterprets everything i type into it.
So i downloaded swipe beta for free, all better.

Has anyone been able to enable a second language in the Samsung keyboard? I was able to add a second language by
going to "language and input"
Click the cog wheel next to the Samsung keyboard
Click "+ select input languages"
Select the check box next to an another language
Back
However, I do not see the arrows on the space bar to switch languages. This works fine on my wife's note 3.

Bumping.
Is this working for everyone else? Can anyone try enabling a second language on the samsung keyboard and switching by swiping the space bar?
Thanks for trying.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
Same problem here on the international version. For some strange reason word prediction does show two languages even though spacebar says English. Anyway that works more or less although I prefer a single language. Hope Samsung fixes this.
Works for me

Yup, I don't have the arrows on the specebar, while I did select both English and Dutch. Unfortunately resetting doesn't help and have yet to find the process to empty cache and clearing data.
Update: found the Keyboard process and emptied cache and cleared data...to no avail. I think it stores language settings somewhere else since Dutch appears back in the samsung keyboard language list immediately after opening the cockwheel button.

As a workaround, and if you want to keep Samsung keyboard, rather than adding a second language to it, try installing a completely new keyboard with Dutch as a default language (any stable keyboard app will do). The switch between keyboards will appear in the phone's notification area, instead of Samsung keyboard's space bar.
I actually prefer it this way: the space bar thingy is finicky, and the notification area's one is super clean and easy.
Thanks, that's one way at least partially getting around the issue. There are plenty good alternative keyboards available, however I like the extra row with numerical keys Samsung offers. For me a real time saver.
Since the problem doesn't occur with all S5's I assume there is rogue app causing this problem in the first place.

while I had the keyboard open I pressed and held the key with the settings icon on it (lower left side) and then selected settings again - once I did this - I saw a screen saying new languages were avaiablle - I selected several - went back to the keyboard and saw "English" in the spacebar - when I pressed and held the space bar, I could scroll right or left to choose from any of the languages I had selected.
I think it allowed me to select up to 5 or so - but I may be wrong and there might not be a limit - I didn't go that far into it - I personally only need english - I was just trying to see if I could figure it out -
hope this helps.
