I am using Swiftkey Tablet, but it happens with the default samsung keyboard as well.
I will be typing an email or filling in a text box or something and as I am typing the keyboard hides. I end up pressing a button or link instead of the next letter. It happens on random letters, no pattern.
It is driving me crazy. I love my Note but this makes me hate it. Today I sent a half a sentence to someone important.
I am on stock samsung ICS and I think it's been ongoing since the first ICS over the air update.
Does no one else have this issue? please let me know. especially if you are on ICS stock and using swiftkey.
ics and SwiftKey NOT tablet mode. don't face this issue. Try clearing the data of app in settings-applications and download the language pack again.
If not try the normal swift key once and check
Actually, my girlfriend's Hercules does the same thing a fair amount. As does my mom's Kindle fire and my sister's vivid. Think it is an ics out of memory thing, but I might be wrong.
Apple innovates and Samsung copies, huh? Tell that to my Galaxy Note.

No change. I cleared the data for switkey 3 tablet, uninstalled it and installed (and purchahsed) the other swiftkey but I still have the same issue.
It even happened while i was Swyping. I know it's an ICS/Samsung issue. I hope to find a place to report bugs like these for Samsung.

This crazy problem started last week with my Galaxy S running Serendipity ROM.
Now, when I want to compose a text or email with voice, it isn't using english. I thought it was Spanish at first (no I can't speak Spanish). But sometimes it's typing different words or even numbers for the same words I speak.
I say "this is a test", and I get, "nosotras". As I'm typing this, it is now typing the same thing for the same words. It wasn't doing that yesterday. three times I got three different responses.
I have made sure that English is selected in settings. the only thing I can think of that has changed in the last couple of weeks (months even) is I re-installed Google voice app. The problem started a day or two after that, the best i can recall. I've been running this ROM since I first got the phone two years ago. I don't install new software very often.
So, what's going on with my phone? Some crazy virus? Has the phone become self aware and decided to toy with me? Voice text is one of my most favorite features, i really want it to work again.
Try clearing the data in the 3 voice programs and maybe Google voice too.
Which program are you using for your speech-to-text conversion? I'm using Google Voice myself, but I don't see any built-in conversion software. Is it tied to the keyboard program you're using?
If you can't get anything else to work, you can try the newest Swype beta; it has Dragon conversion software built in, and in my experience, it works pretty well.
I'm not sure what program it is. It came with the Serendipity ROM. I'll have to dig around and find out.
How/where would i clean my programs?

Go to settings - applications - manage applications, then find the individual applications. Click the app, and then the "clear data" button. That will reset the offending app's data.
Thank you very much. clearing the data worked. I hope it stays fixed. I think the one that fixed it was clearing the swype keyboard. I never liked the swype KB, I should just remove it if it's going to cause trouble.
Thanks again.
I came from a Galaxy Ace, and I loved the 3x4 keyboard.
When I got my Note (already running ICS), I was first very happy that it had the 3x4 keyboard, but later realized it didn't work as well as the older one.
Basically, it has lots of lag, sometimes key presses wouldn't register, especially in the Google Chrome app. Sometimes, it jumps to the next character before I even finish typing. Watch the video and I think you'll understand.
Does anyone else have the same problem (please try it on your phone) or is it only my phone?

I use Swiftekey... awosme

It seems that I'm the only one with this problem. Something's wrong with my phone's Samsung Keyboard and Google Chrome app. I'm just gonna stick with the slowness of the keyboard because changing to other keyboards isn't an option to me.

I've noticed two bugs with Swype on the Kindle Fire HD. Anyone else noticed these and have a workaround?
1. When using the Amazon apps, like the book store, Swype does not correctly fill text boxes, like the search field. The default keyboard and other keyboards where you select one key at a time work fine. But with Swype or Slide It you have to do double duty, selecting the letter, then confirming the letter in the autocomplete field for each and every letter. If you Swype out a whole word you have to confirm it in the autocomplete field, but then it only inserts the first letter into the text box. This problem seems exclusive to the Amazon apps.
2. In landscape mode the menu bar cuts off some of the keyboard on the right side. This appears to be a problem with all third-party keyboards.

2. Yeah, noticed that. KFHD is made to use its own keyboard. That is why Amazon made it a PITA to install and use others. I noticed landscape problems with SlideIT also but at least they let you adjust the size of the keyboard. One of the reasons why I sent mine back.

How do you get an alternative keyboard to work in the first place? I can't figure out how to enable SwiftKey...

You can only do it on a rooted device and I didn't find SlideIT to be very stable. It was OK at first then it would randomly quit on me. The thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898390
Its done on your own risk, it can cause annoying force close issues and installing it again normally fixes it but the KFHD likes to be finicky.
aklemist and others who have successfully installed alternative keyboards-- have you guys upgraded to the latest firmware? I just upgraded to 7.2.3 and in the process, I have screwed up my swype license. I guess now that the stock keyboard is swype-based, there was some conflict with the files or something. Now whenever I try to type anything on my kindle, I get a pop up message saying "Application not licensed. This version of Swype has an invalid license and will operate with limited functionality. Beta users, please run the installer again. All others, contact Swype."
Anyone have a workaround? I don't yet have root reinstalled, and my options are limited since I have no way to type *anything* right now.
Has someone experienced this? I installed this keyboard from day one, on 22th Nov 2017, but 3 days ago, noticed that whenever the keyboard poped up for typing, the buttons on nav bar disappeared, that is, the nav bar was still there, registering touches in the 3 buttons, but no buttons visible, I reverted to stock keybd, But to no avail, unistalled a.i. type keybd, but no luck, ended factory resetting, and then, all fine, re installed the a.i. type keybd, and again the issue presented, so, I corroborated that this kbd is the culprit, anyone else has experienced this? I am very sorry as I use this kbd since my S3!!

I've been using A.I keyboard for ages too. Love it and best keyboard hands down. My gf note 8 on A.I keyboard app was acting dumb like yours the other day. I put version before last update and no issues. I sent developer email and log. You should do the same.
I myself having no issues like yours or gf. Question for you. Dolphin browser with adblock crashing on you? Think it's all note 8s just curious.
I dont use dolphin, so, I cant say, I use the samsung browser with ad clear, no issues so far, where did you get the older version of ai tupe kbd?

I'm using GBoard but I've switched to default Samsung keyboard and I get the same thing. Any app where the writing is on the lower end of the screen the page does not shift up so I can see what I'm typing. This is becoming a huge annoyance. Makes editing/correcting near impossible. It's been this way for a couple weeks now. I'm thinking something got changed or deleted somehow, but I can't remember doing anything. Any system settings that might affect this?. Just don't really know where to begin looking. I am rooted.
