Can I use S-pen to write URL or search terms in Google, for example?
Only if you enable handwriting recognition in the stock keyboard. You can't write directly in the address or search bar if that's what you mean.

Thanks..I wonder if in ICS handwriting will be able to do that? (write directly on the page.)
The title of this thread made me think... the S-pen could allow the use of a proper hover and click UI if a browser supported it. How great would that be? I know Opera supports this with trackballs/pads and mice... anyway just thinking out loud.
or you can
i don't have handwriting whenever pen is detected enabled on my phone. but i still use pen in search and any where keypad can be used. every time the stock keyboard is displayed, it has a key that has a capital T with a little pen beside it. just click that and the handwriting pad will pop up. to return to keypad there is a icon of a keyboard on the top row of that window to return to keypad.
The T option is that with using the Default Samsung keyboard?

Basically all i want to know is how the heck do you bring up the numeric keypad when i go to my alarms and click the input box to change the alarm it comes up with a nifty numeric pad with huge keys all i want to know is how do you manually bring this pad up because most of my passwords are number based and its difficult pressing those teeeeney little buttons. I am using "better keyboard" now and it has a numeric pad also and so does every other keyboard i used so hopefully theres a way. I included 3 pictures, one is better keyboard numeric pad, then android kb numeric pad, then reg keyboard with numbers
you can just install the HTC IME keyboard and you can switch to the numbered keyboard. but its not only for the alarm app, its for anywhere in the phone.

Using Better Keyboard, press the 123? button, then press the <> button, bingo.
Hi I have a bluetooth keyboard \ mouse combo that works great except that when I type the on screen keyboard pops up as well. I use swiftkey, and so I can swipe down to hide the keyboard, but I would rather have the keyboard not pop up at all when using the bluetooth keyboard. Anyone know how I might accomplish this? Oh yeah, it does it regardless of what keyboard is an using.
As esc is the back button, you can press it to hide the keyboard, faster then swiping it down

There's an app that is called blueinput that is suppose to give much more functionality to a connected Bluetooth keyboard including a way to hide the on-screen keyboard. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. try it. Its in the market.
From the Tab.

Or you could install wifikeyboard from the market. This ime would not block

I just patched AnySoftKeyboard to automatically hide on hardware input... when it's integrated, it could be a good option.
Hi
I need to change keyboards not fast... instantly. I have a handwriting IME and a normal [Japanese] keyboard that I regularly need one or the other. The process of lowering the bar, tapping the keyboard and then switching is too cumbersome.
So I was thinking... how useless the S-Pen button is in the current state (for me at least). I don't use any of it's "commands", nor to open the S-Memo or anything. Can it be assigned to something else? It would be great that it could be used to change the keyboard. Like, if I push the button while clicking a text box, it would open the handwriting IME. And if I just click the text box without the button, it opens up the regular keyboard.
Is there any app or any way to do this?
Otherwise, is there something (aside the S-Pen button) that can help in "instant switching" the keyboard?
Multi-ling keyboard will probably solve that keyboard issu, but it's a no for changing the button function.
Hi,
Isn't there an option in Samsung Keyboard which will automatically open handwriting pad is s pen is used?

Re: [Q] S-Pen button... is it "re-assignable"? (for instant keyboard switch)
There is but for some reason it doesn't work on mine. Not only that, but the T with pen button is greyed out on the keyboard.

What style do you use to type on your phone?
I always swiped on my Nokia Lumia 520 Windows Phone, due to it's amazing swipe keyboard. I never found a keyboard on my 4in screen Android that matched it. On my note 4 clone with the large screen, I never found the need for a third party keyboard, not even swipe style.
So I was wondering, what is your preferred keyboard style?
I use swiftkey. It creeps me out how "it" can predict my words but super convenient.

I can type twice as fast with tapping than I can with swype.
I use Swiftkey and Hacker's Keyboard. Stock keyboard has never worked well for me.

I am too old for swipe
only tap - only hardcore

Both taps and swipes end up looking similarly like smudges. This is a problem that we’ve especially had to deal with when designing our touchscreen keyboard, where tapping happens rapidly enough that accidental dragging of taps is inevitable. To top this all off, we also have to deal with:
a) differences between users
b) differences between one-handed/two-handed use
c) different environmental factors
I love swiftkey but I want a keyboard with copy and paste function in clash of clans.

Before my Note updated on UI 2, SPen had handwriting recognition when you hover over a text field and tap on the floating T that appears. Now I don't have that option and as I like to use ai.keyboard now I can't use handwriting on that keyboard.
Any solutions?

This was a feature that I used a lot as well. It was very useful to seamlessly go from typing in English to handwriting in Japanese. Hopefully there is a way to get it back.
