Hey, when trying to use the handwriting mode with the keyboard in a text, it doesn't change any of my writing to text, the writing area won't scroll, then the phone freezes and I get a force close.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks

Yup. About an hour later the Samsung keyboard auto updated and the problem stopped for me.

A restart fixed it. I haven't seen the keyboard update. Will check for that in case I overlooked it happening.

Found where it did update. I uninstalled the update and reinstalled

Thought it would be worth mentioning that I switched to the Google keyboard just now and it froze the phone the same way... This time "Google keyboard has stopped"

Had a update for the keyboard and had to restart for it to take effect. Works great now.

As I'm staring at my brand new note 3 at this very moment it has taken me 5 minutes to attempt to get this piece of crap s pen setting to automatically begin handwriting mode, even if it does scroll, not one single word Is converted to text, AND I don't even see the option of the small pen icon that allows me to use the other handwriting screen that does work!!! Needless to say this is beyond frustrating and I refuse to pay for any update "solutions" I.e putting a bandaid on a broken leg.. Also tried swiftkey but that's just a different keyboard nothing to help HANDWRITING which is what I enjoy... lastly, as I write my screen isn't positioned in the best way to see what I'm writing also vs. My keyboard. .. is that just another annoying thing I'm going to have to get used to or what??? PLEASE HELP!!!

Anyone else having any issues with this app? Its very laggy and keeps locking my phone up.

the predictions can be a bit laggy, but it works fine for me otherwise.
Smart keyboard pro. Sure it costs, but its worth it.

I've been using Touchpal and really like it. I went back and used Swiftkey this morning and I'm not having any lag but it feels really strange now not to be able to swipe.
Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone can shed any light on a weird issue that appears every now and then where the keyboard on my inc s seems to stop accepting words add I type in, despite the letters highlighting as I type. When thus happens I have to reboot to get it to work again. This its on all apps that have the keyboard ability. Weird and annoying as hell

The app is horrible especially with the stock keyboard. There is really no reason for this much screen to be taken up by the keyboard and text box. here is a screenshot of the stock app with Swype keyboard. you can see one message at most. http://i.imgur.com/ZhrM8rx.png
I've began just using the hangouts for mms with people. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone.
When I tried a couple other messaging apps that looked like stock 4.4 I started sending and receiving double messages. I really want to use another app because the stock version is horrible, but I'm resigned to using it right now until I can figure out how to fix this issue. It's probably my fault somehow, but it shouldn't be this difficult to figure out how to not send double messages constantly.
anyhow, the phone is awesome so far other than the messaging app.
does anyone know how to change the text size/messaging box in the stock messaging app? the settings were no help.
You could try hangout. That is what I am using now.

I just edited the OP to say just that lol. This is my solution for now.

I actually had an issue with that when I first got it as well. I kinda just ignored it, until I got EvolveSMS. It has a small text window so the keyboard only takes up half the screen instead of 75% of it. Give it a try.
I like it. Just press back to read the entire convo
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
If you pinch or spread 2 fingers in the text box where you type it will enlarge or shrink the font size of the entire convo

hangouts FTW..
I just started using hangouts for my sms/mms also.. wondering though if there is a way to have the contacts app launch it for messages when I go into my contacts app? Or do I just have to start up hangouts all the time or maybe another contacts app that allows you to set what to launch into for messaging?
I'm using the EvolveSMS app.... It's a paid app tho...

Thanks for this. One of my gripes has been resolved.
I do love how it pops calls and texts on the screen in a bubble when you are in an app
For probably 3 months or more the stock messaging app on my SM-N900A is been really lagging or will stop all together. At first I thought it was swift key keyboard that I was using, and if I change to the standard Samsung keyboard, it helps a little, but the problem persists. Force closing the app, clearing data and cache doesn't seem to help either. Software is up to date. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks

I couldnt handle how much the stock messaging app sucked so i switched to hangouts. Its quite a bit better plus when i send pictures it doesnt tell me to "Select different media."
Could be that you need to turn on the feature to delete old messages automatically. Maybe clear cache of the app?

Use chomp sms. Been using it since the note days and never had an issue. Also it's highly customisable.

been using textra for ab a week and it's ab half and half, got some nice features but does some wonky things sometimes, I'll try chomp

Long story short my messages app sucks! Short Story long I love the messages app but it don't love me back. I'm sure many of you will suggest that I use hangouts or chomp or textra or some other third party message app which I do but I really want to use the stock app. I'm using hangouts by default right now. That's bc my stock app started acting up about 2 months after use. It would just freeze while texting and doing all kind of weird things that it shouldn't do. I thought it was just my phone and hoped that lollipop would fix it and started using hangouts but lollipop isn't here. Furthermore I bought my wife a note about a month ago after convincing her to leave the iPhone (greatest thing she ever did besides marrying me) and her phone started doing the exact same thing. So I'm curious if anyone else experienced this. I've tried clearing cache, deleting old messages and googling a solution but came with no luck. So here I am reaching out to my fellow xda-ers to see if anyone else had the same problem or better yet a solution?

We're both stock believe it or not

That's really strange. Are you both on T-Mobile? I have not used the stock app since day 1, and I don't like Hangouts, but I do have problems sometimes messaging with my girlfriend. We both have Note 4's with Textra, but she is on Verizon and I am on the big pink T. We had no problems when we both had T-Mobile.
What sorts of things is the stock messaging app doing? I've used it for months with no issues on stock deodexed NK4
Yeah we're both t mobile. Basically while your trying to type it'll freeze the phone for 30 secs to a couple of minutes to the point it's unusable. Sometimes everything you typed will catch up but sometime it will just force close

Sounds like you both are using stock keyboard. Try swift key. Factory keyboard had a lot of lag. If you guys are rooted start debloating. Should help a ton.

Both using swiftkey lol I may try stock and see what happens
