Samsung Keyboard Cover: Bug? Limitation? Problem? Disabillities? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using Note5 as I always want a high spec android with dual sim and keyboard cover, but i am so disapointed with the limitations i realised after using for weeks, any same victim here? Or perhaps any captain can help to solve some of the problems?
Following are problems only happen when Samsung Keyboard attached:
1. No backlit keyboard, so pretty difficult to use at dark, ok i must admit this I have known before i bought it, so i forgive that
2. No split screen, ok i understand with smaller screen after keyboard coverd, must be difficult to have split screen also
3. Only Samsung Default Theme is allowed: I am not a Samsung Default Theme fan, so when I decide to buy samsung, I pretty much expect to have customize theme, and after i m done with customize, it is all changed to default everytime keyboard is attached... So stupid..
4. S Pen Air Command cannot work together with keyboard: feel so exiciting on beginning to have keyboard cover and useful S Pen to increase productivity in business, then realise Smart Select never happen when keyboard is attach, so only choose one, when i wanna use pen, i must remove keyboard, WTH!!!!
5. This is most annoying one, no PINYIN! Samsung Keyboard can add multiple language, include chinese pinyin, and cannot work when keyboard cover attached, and i pt cannot change to google pinyin also after keyboard attached, again only one feature you can use, want a pinyin then remove keyboard cover.
I really really hope there is an update for any of limitation in near future!

HTC touch keyboard

How do I disable the phone style keyboard, and only have the proper 123/qwerty one, in contacts the keyboard changes to the 3 press phone one, but on other apps is the proper wide one?
touch keyboard changes its layout depending on what app you are using i think.
Can't really answer your question though.. lol sorry :O
I'd still like to lock, or remove some screens.
This bothers me too. I've tried playing with all the various XT9 options.
It would also be nice to have the HTC Touch keyboard work in landscape mode with out having to slide out the keyboard
is there any way to ALWAYS use the touch keyboard? no sometimes the touchkeyboard and sometimes the touch T9 keyboard?
bothers me too... I want to use the keyboard that I can see when there is nothing to type... but the keys are big enough and seperate from each other...

I've gone back to this, even though it is a bit unstable.

[Q] Is there a way to disable the onscreen keyboard when using an external keyboard?

Hi all,
is it possible to stop the onscreen keyboard being displayed when you are using a BT or USB keyboard?
It just wastes half of the screen when you don't need to see the onscreen keyboard.
thanks,
Rich
Try disabling the keyboards from language and inputs.
but I presume on of them is system persistent. But just try and let us know.
There is a Null Keyboard app that just does nothing. I installed that and select it when I use an external keyboard.

Thanks Null Keyboard is what I need. Shame there isn't an option to do it through the system. It seems pretty obvious that if you have an external keyboard connected, you aren't going to need the onscreen keyboard.
It is actually quite easy, all you have to do is tap the return (back) button and the keyboard will sink in. I use a BT keyboard with both Samsung's QWERTY and Google's Japanese input (Beta) and in both cases I can get rid of the onscreen keyboard without a hitch.
What I'm really curious to know thugh if there is a good tutorial for keys you can use to edit while writing, selecting, copying, pasting, making bold or cursive, that kind of thing.

#1: Screen flickering issues fixed (yes, still does it even on manual brightness).
#2: A fixed / redesigned keyboard dock. Can't justify buying one on account of all of the bad press around here.
#3: Kitkat. Or some guarantee of it anyway.

I don't have a dock my self. But wouldn't a setup like a one of those mini desktops(zotac etc) make a good companion? Then just plug in a keyboard and accessories. I guess it's not the same or as portable.
This was great on the Nexus 7. Philz touch advanced.

1. All available Chrome for Android hotkeys for those who have the keyboard dock.
2. The ability to use different input methods and still be able to use Asus keyboard when connected to tablet.
3. Options/Settings to modify keyboard behaviors (typing speed, repeat key duration, etc. advanced settings.) for the keyboard dock.
4. Method/Hotkey to add accents to letters.
5. The ability to type all Latin-1 characters using the ALT key and the number keys.
6. An easy way to clean the keyboard dock if lots of dusts accumulate in the keys, without voiding the warranty.

About samsung stock keyboard

Hi everyone! It's good to be back. I just switched from an iPhone 6 to a Galaxy S6 (G920F) few days ago but I am not new with rooting and other things in android. I just have some questions and I need help.
1. How can I make the stock samsung keyboard to always show uppercase keys (like the one in the iPhone). I do not like using 3rd party keyboards. I want the stock samsung keyboard to NOT display lowercase keys. I WANT IT TO PERMANENTLY DISPLAY UPPERCASE KEYS.
2. How can I remove the number row on the top of the stock samsung keyboard? Like the one in the S3 that does not have a number row at the top. I prefer not having the number row.
Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
So you want an iPhone keyboard : | . Just install ai.type keyboard and an ios 7/8 theme for ai.type . then personalize the keyboard and there you have it
I want to keep the stock keyboard.. i just want to remove the number row in it. And also disable the keys from displaying lowercase keys.

i dont think it is possible, maybe another keyboard is the only way
You cant do those things trough the stock keyboard configuration. Get used to it or try a different keyboard.
Not possible bro .. At least from what i know ...
You came from the iPhone huh? I can tell lol. Try experimenting with new stuff! There's a ton of better options vs the Samsung keyboard. Google Keyboard is my personal favorite. If you know how, you can make that thing look like any keyboard you want lol.

Samsung Keyboard Alternate Characters Response

Anyone notice that the alternate characters on the Samsung keyboard is slow to respond? It works fine, I just find myself having to long press longer to get the alternate character. Causes me to make mistake quite often.
My Note 5 & Note 2 werenxt (<- see) this slow to respond. Anyway to remedy this? I've been comparing with my Note 5 & on the Note 8 itxs definitely slower to respond.
Yeah, it's pretty strange that Samsung doesn't include an option to adjust the response time like you can on third party keyboards. I'd suggest just trying out SwiftKey or others because it can definitely get annoying not getting the special key you want as fast as you want. Champagne problems, I know, but still. It's annoying, nonetheless.
EDIT: As you can see from the attached photo, SwiftKey (which I'm using) has this option but the stock Samsung keyboard does NOT offer it. Shame.
Yeah, same here. I like the Samsung keyboard because when apply a theme the keyboard is included. However, the special character problem plus the auto correct being so bad, I may have to switch.
Same here I like the Samsung keyboard because of it's features, the spen integration is the main one. Themes is also another.
I think I found a fix. Not sure if it's just in my head but it seems like it's ok now & I haven't made a mistake yet since the change. I disabled swipe to type. Well actually I changed it to cursor control, that's how I had it set on my N5. It makes sense as maybe the keyboard is sensing that you may be attemtping to swipe to type a word & causes the delay.
Now to fix my space bar issue but that's just me & my stubby thumb. I keep hitting letters or the period instead of the space bar. Same issue on my N5 & with the N8 being longer it's not helping in landscape mode. Tried changing the keyboard size but then all the letters are too far apart.

The short spacebar on Samsung keyboards is the ONLY reason I have always used Gboard. Shame Samsung never revised it yet.
Like yourself I always hit period instead of space.
