I am trying to use the keyboard case for a lot of text entry, but I find that sometimes it will playup. it will still allow text entry, but when I press the space bar it will skip back to the beginning of the current word before entering the space.
has anybody seen this issue?

Welcome to my world. This seems to be a widely spread issue. It is not clear whether it is cover's issue or the tablet itself. I have sent my cover for replacement, hoping it will fix the problem. However, i do believe that it has to do with the tablet itself. Probably the connector. Try to take to service center if you can. My problem is i have to send it all the way to USA and i am in Europe

Same issue here, hopefully they come up with a fix soon.

I've that issue, too. I found that it has s/th to do with the language settings. If you write a correct spelled word all is ok. If you have spelling mistakes the cursor jumps to the beginning of the wrong written word.
Unfortunately I've no time to discover this further.
Hope s/o comes up with a solution to prevent this annoying behavior.
Do you all use a different software keyboard than the stock Samsung one? I use Swype, and when I connect the keyboard, it acts strangely until I switch it to the Samsung keyboard (search+space on hardware keyboard).

I logged a problem with Samsung. It is a bug in their stock keyboard which you need to use for s-pen functions. They don't seem to be planning to do anything to fix the issue. Using an alternate soft keyboard for when an external keyboard is in use was my only solution
Make sure you all formally lodge the problem with Samsung support.

Ok.. So I downloaded swiftkey app but the problem now is that for some reason I wasn't able to add two languages under this keyboard app for the physical keyboard settings.
Under the physical keyboard settings in samsung I have now 3 languages:
1. samsung keyboard - Hebrew
2. samsung keyboard - English
3. Swiftkey - Hebrew
I want to add Swiftkey - English but wasn't able to do so...
anyone who is using swiftkey with two languages and with physical keyboard?
Nowadays you can see technology will upgrade day by day. If you have this keyboard problem on your tablet, then you should try latest OSU tablet for your work.

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
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
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!
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.

As title suggests, I updated my phone yesterday. Now, when typing, if I spell something wrong, instead of changing automatically when I press space, it doesnt change the word, even though its highlighted blue. Is this a bug or feature and its very annoying ane may force me to flash back to older version. I cant see any options in the settings menu like before, just new options to sync spelling with facebook and Twitter etc... thanks for help.
Works fine for me
There are no more options anymore in settings for predictive text. You use to be able to edit your own words and specific predictive text data but your cant edit anything now so unsure what to do. Im sure I have read else where others having the same problems?
mine is also doin the same thing. Also noticed it no longer gives you the option to change the full stop to something else without holding
gotta be a bug. why highlight in blue if it no longer has a function anything? This is going to be very annoying.
It's what made me stop using the Samsung keyboard, prediction only seems to work when you use continuous input (swype) but even with that enabled, if you tap out each letter it will not work.
Glad its not just me anyway!
Meh, Android 4.2 keyboard rocks
I like the the way the keyboard behaves now. I can type my words without the auto correcting putting in the wrong words for me inadvertently and not having problems putting in words the the prediction doesn't know about.
I will also confirm that after updating to 4.1.2 stock - the auto-correct/predictive text system in the stock samsung keyboard seems to be no longer functioning correctly.
When typing the words are highlighted in blue however upon hitting space the word isn't corrected

+1. That's the main reason I now use Samsung keyboard. If I want it to auto correct I just select on the word.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
never bothered with stock Android keyboards or Samsung's effort at "continuous text input" (well I gave it 5 minutes and kicked it into touch).
There is only one keyboard for continuous text input, and why would you want to tap letters individually any way? - its called Swype...its an absolute MUST.
google it, go to website and download swype beta installer
You guys are right, auto correct has been disabled in 4.1.2. I'm really hoping it's re enabled for the next release because I've never been a fan of aftermarket keyboards. I prefer the stock one. I would downgrade to 4.1.1 but I was getting some bugs on that which have been fixed on 4.1.2. Let's all hope it's re enabled for us!
Same problem here and I hate it. I've now switched to SwiftKey because of it.

Same here. VERY ANNOYING! Why change something fundamental on the keyboard in this way? It's awful.
Regardless of what your keyboard preference is, you become accustomed to using it and it's ways until you can almost type blindfolded. Making changes like this just bugs the hell out of me!

Samsung Support said:
Thank you for contacting Samsung.
I am sorry to hear that you do not like the features on the keypad since the latest update and i can understand it is frustrating.
Regarding your query this is a limitation of the new android version your running. However we always look forward to hearing customer feedback and comments.
I've passed your comments on to various departments who will use them to improve the products and services we offer. Thank you for your input.

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.

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.

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.

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.
I have purchased together with the s3 the original keyboard case, which was around $130.
Most of the times is a convenient accessory to use, especially if you type a lot. I have one annoying issue though. Sometimes, when i pressbthe space button, it changes keyboard languages instead, which is a physical button on the keyboard itself just next tonthe space button. It doesn't matter jow hard you press the space (initially i thought i apply to much pressure on the key and somehow accidentally pressing the other key). It seems the only way to fix it is to unpin the keyboard and connect it back again ( which is annoying cause it takes some time and effort, it turns off the screen etc.).
Did anyone faced similar issues?
Sent from my SM-T820 using Tapatalk
This is caused by you typing too quickly (and no I'm not joking)
There is a keyboard shortcut to change language which is Shift-Space.
so if I want a capital letter, then type a space, I end up typing SHIFT-SPACE and getting the same language issue.
I've not found a way of disabling or changing the shortcuts.

It is not that. Many people around having issues. Many times it just changes the cursor position. Samsung actually is aware of this issue.
