I'm still running Lollipop, however, maybe the the swipe option isn't selected.
In Settings-- Language and Input-- Samsung Keyboard-- Keyboard Swipe, then select 'continuous input'

option for turning on the continuous input and swipe is not showing here. so i am unable to do it

My brother picked up the S7 on US Cellular and he says Samsung's swipe is not a choice under keyboard settings. I think it's a regional thing like being able to have punctuation marks on the main keyboard for long press.

Use better keyboard on nexus one

Is there a way to use the better keyboard on the nexus? i installed it but still uses the default one
Yes, open the keyboard and hold the 123 keys till input method wording show. Then you can choose better keyboard as the default.
I installed Smart Keyboard Pro. To use I had to enable it in Settings > Language & Keyboard.
But I can only use it in html forms by long pressing a form field, selecting "input method" and than choosing it. The whole process makes smart keyboard pretty much useless...
Please, let me know If you can successfully enable better keyboard and overcome this problem somehow...

Thiago Souza

Make sure you go to your keyboard option in the settings menu, make sure Smart Keyboard Pro is checked, then go to the keyboard hold down 123 and select it

[Q] Swipe or any keyboard question?

Gyus a long time i didn't play with the SXL. But today i tried to install some keyboards and i find out that i can't turn them on. I tried settings etc. but there stays always the stock one.
Is there any way to change it or not?
Thanks

Well, i use swype from the original 2.2.2 FroYo stock ROM from Dell Streak, the first keyboard i ever used on Android and i still like it better than others, i install them in the normal way, go to settings, activate them, and after that, when you are in some writing, check the notifications, it should be a notification for keyboard, tap that notification and it will show you a menu to select your desired keyboard
Thanks man. I never did notice that notification. Also i was satisfied with my stock buttons . I wanted to try the new nexus 4 keyboard.

[REQUEST] Slide to Wake

Back in the days of the Galaxy Nexus, there was an app to wake the phone by simply sliding your finger from left to right. It required root and a kernel that supports some feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pp-mod-touchcontrol-pgm-galaxy-nexus-t1721895
It saved my power button from wearing out. I hope there will be one available for the S6. :good:
No one interested?
i think a kernel with doubletap to wake feature will be better,
I don't like double tap as it can happen accidentally in the pocket and no custom kernels for the s6 for now.
I miss my doubleTaptoWake feature from my G2. I would be so excited if someone could make this happen

i dsabled home button because of opening in poket
I have slide to wake using nova launcher and secure settings.
In nova settings go to gesture settings - slide up (or any gesture you prefer) - secure settings - lock device.
Yoy can even apply it to just one icon instead of full screen

That's slide to lock, not the same thing as slide to wake when the device is off. Also, there are some apps that can lock the screen with a single tap.
Bump.

Less wear and tear is never a bad idea. Just ask my wife's Note 3 :laugh:

Swype cant be turned off, I tried too, but couldn't find anything. You can disable suggestions by holding the Swype button in the bottom left corner of the keyboard and selecting options, in that menu there are the prediction options
in settings there is "next word prediction" and its off. But we still see words prediction above keyboard... Ill try some aosp keyboard, any advice?
I had the same problem. in the end i downloaded a AOSP like you mentioned and I no longer see predictive words!! yahooooooo
I and unsure why huawei made the phone like this. Other than that its an awesome phone
Why do you say you cant remove the Swype option? I chosc gboard and the swipe button/icon dissapeared. Anyway I now have this prediction issue. Really a pain in the neck. What to do? AOSP? What is it?

Spen on UI 2.0 problem

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.
