Seems the GPe is full of upsets, first I discover that the radio sw had been removed by Google although the radio hw is there, then I discovered that I no longer have write access to my external SD because of KitKat
Last upset I ran into was not being able to use a pen on the screen, there is no input method that supports handwriting and using a normal pen or pencil on the home screen as a stylus doesn't work!
I have read that pen support is supposed to work on the GPe so what am I doing wrong?!

Pen works on my GPE just fine. But they need to have metal tips. Just a ballpoint doesn't work. For an app, try Papyrus, it is a great writing utility.

Pencils work fine for scrolling and clicking. I think OP may want to use it to input into text boxes as a keyboard substitute.
Actually I was using a normal ball point pen and didn't realize it had to be a metal tip, tried a metal tip and it works just fine now, thanks.
I will try papyrus also, any apps I can use for handwriting recognition?

Hi all,
I love my GT and the keyboard dock it came with (plus all the shortcuts). I use them nearly everyday together for taking notes in class, but I HATE that holding the backspace key will end up deleting everything I typed. I wish it would just continously delete until I let go, like the stock keyboard. Is there any way to remove this "feature" or make Swype or the stock keyboard the default for the dock?
Changing it everytime I dock my tablet is annoying and every now and again when the screen turns off it just turns back to the samsung keypad.
TIA

Ever tried SwiftKey X Tablet? It seems to do everything you mentioned so far, some say it has dock support but I wouldn't be too sure. You might wanna test it, the app is free ofcourse. If you feel you like it, buy it

This will only work if you are a registered Swype beta user... Simply uninstall the tablet Swype app on your phone, then sideload this, reboot, and voila!

can you post a screenshot? i've downloaded swype beta from their website after flashing ICS and the keyboard is REALLY small. so i ended up going with the stock keyboard for now.
Sure thing!

Works perfectly!
Pulled the beta from their site and keyboard was too small
Found this, and indeed, voila!!
Thanks much!
I suppose this is better for using your fingers, but have any of you tried the smaller keyed tablet version using your SPen? Hands down my favorite text entry method; so fast and accurate.
Absolutely fantastic find!

Is there any way of installing English UK language pack, as it's not downloadable through the app itself?
When on landscape the keyboard shows up an error stating it does not fit the resolution.

worked for me on ICS (team Perfection ROM).
I had to make sure to uninstall the existing one first before I was able to get it to work. It is a big improvement over the one that swype installed directly because the keys are properly sized.
Anybody have the file and can share? None of the links are working. I'm just getting 404 errors. TIA

I love the tablet version. Its counter-intuitive, but I find it a lot more accurate when swiping.
agreed!!!

Works pretty good. I made this my default note taking app with the quick launch. Watched the video then tried the app... I guess having the ability for creating more/different notebooks is only an iOS feature for now

Nice find, but how the heck do you exit it? Hitting home key seems to be the only way, no settings menu besides the type of pen button?

seems like a pretty limited note application compared to GNote, S-Memo, Papyrus...and smells of lazy iOS port as well...I'll stick with one of the others for now, but thanks for pointing it out
Hopefully it's going to have more options. Like somene said before others have way more options, s memo being pretty much the best but for us that are running custom roms it doesnt work.
Just curious what keyboard everyone is using. The S4 is defaulted to the Samsung keyboard which uses SwiftKey, but the S4 also comes with Swype. Are you using one of those, or are you using another? Maybe the SwiftKey or Swype from the market to gain some more options? Another keyboard?
What are you using, and why do you prefer it?
I'm using SwiftKey from the market. The stock Samsung keyboard does not have auto correct which is not something I can deal with.

I'm using stock 4.2.2 keyboard because I like the Holo UI look.
Kii. It has the option for the top number row like the stock keyboard, but it has autocorrect. I own Swiftkey also, but I hate it.
I use swiftkey from the market although the stock keyboard is kinda nice with the number row on top
installed the AOSP 4.2.2 keyboard. got so use to it when i was on my nexus, why change..
Check out the Swype keyboard I modded for a dedicated number row:

i am using the google keyboard currently, but looking for something with a little better flow. the fact that the comma key isn't on the letter screen bothers me.

I've been using swiftkey but the lag the keyboard creates drove me crazy. I'm now using the Google keyboard and I bounce to the kii keyboard every once in a while.

I like that it matches my N7
I used to be a huge fan of kii. Then I found swift key.
Had some fun with touch pal.
But ended right back up with swift key
SwiftKey keyboard without a doubt.

I prefer swype like interface.
I have used both swiftkey (before swype-like interface) and afterwards, swype, thumb keyboard, and Slideit.
I prefer using swiftkey slightly.
Swype is probably the best in regards to sliding.
Slideit is nice but has a slight lag that messes me up.
Swiftkey has some predictive stuff which can both help or hinder.
I think you can't go wrong with any of the above 3.
For tablets, I just use thumb keyboard.
for me either stock 4.2 keyboard or samsung galaxy s4's keyboard love them both
I like the stock keyboard and Google keyboard from the market. The stock keyboard is tough to type with after having a number of drinks

Haha. I use SwiftKey, in Pitch color scheme. Jelly Bean keyboard https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jlsoft.inputmethod.latin.jelly.free is great too. Just like the stock Google keyboard but with more secondary functions on the keys.
As someone who purchased both swype and swiftkey, I personally use the Samsung keyboard, though I must add that I took the apk from the international version and changed some things to make it work how I wanted it to. Currently I m testing the Google keyboard from the 4.3 leak and its pretty good, haven't used it very long though.

I've been a swype user since day 1. Even when I had my GS3 but I'm loving the stock Samsung keyboard on the GS4.
Pay for SwiftKey. Best app purchase I have ever made.

Wish Swype would for allow for customer autotexts (abbreviations). I use about 100 of these daily.
I used to use swiftkey before I came to the s4 but now I dont seem to think it looks good on the phone it just looks plan so as of now im using stock even though I serverly hate the keyboard because I keep making mistakes on it.
Have you guys tried touchpal?

I've used SwiftKey for nearly a year now. I did try the 4.2 stock keyboard for a week or two but found my way back to SwiftKey. The predictive capabilities are phenomenal and can really save you time.
I like the stock Samsung key board. The numbers on top are great. My only concern is the dictionary. I have added words to the Samsung dictionary, but they still dont show up when texting. Has anyone had success with adding words to the dictionary?
