keyboard pop up - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Is there any way to stop the keyboard from popping up when you back out of some apps? This is a problem because I keep hitting the back button fast to hurry up and close out of where I am then the keyboard pops up and I start hitting keys! It's just a little annoying.

Anyone? I can't be the only one that is annoyed by this?

My keyboard has never popped up by backing out of apps no matter how fast I do it. Maybe that's why you're not getting any replies.

Really? Maybe because I am using SwiftKey? I am going to try Samsung keyboard and see if it does it to. It does not do it every time.

It does it on the Amazon app. If you type in something and go look at it and then back out it goes back to the keyboard.

Which amazon app? I have three app store, shopping and alexa - I'll try on my phone. Using the samsung keyboard I backed out of all three and the keyboard never came up.

Did you open the app and type something in the search bar and then click on it and then back out?

Yes, I typed a search for shoes and backed out no popup, also searched for shoes and hit one of the links and then backed out and no popup. I'm wondering if you have some app installed that's messing with it? Not sure how to check, if it was a samsung installed app you could boot to safe mode and try but that won't work for one installed from the play store.

Agile Lock Screen - CM7

Guys, saw someone else post this in the Development forum and thought I would post here. Basically the sense 3.0 Lockscreen but I cannot seem to get it to work. I'm guessing it's something within my settings but if one of you gets it working please let me know. Always nice to have options!

I like the ripple lock :-D
I have it working. Click on the app in your app drawer and then click start. Thats it! I think I may buy it that way I can adjust everything. For those who bought it, you can change the icons right?

thats strange...try uninstalling and reisntall it or you can try a restart of your phone. something goofy is acting up. I haven't seen too many complains like that in the reviews so I would try one of those things I mentioned.

Yah I tried that before too, I'm thinking it may have something to do with my cm lock screen settings that are conflicting with this. I'm using the lense.

Having the same issue with having to use the volume to unlock. Tried it on a fresh install of 1.3 with no luck. We've gotta figure this out, paid and free versions don't work.

Sounds great, I would love to get this to work and I'll continue to play with it.
Interestingly enough, when I disable the Status Bar in the Agile Lock settings everything works as it should. Of course this is only available in the paid version.
This work for anyone else?

My Verizon App

So after switching to the latest version of ICS, I realized I miss the one bloatware app I use: My Verizon.
Is there anyway to get it on the ICS D3? I've seen the one in the marketplace for the Nexus.

Amazon App Store

Hey guys! LOVING this phone!!! Just got one question. Has anyone had trouble getting the amazon App Store to work? I download it and it just goes to a black screen with amazon apps at the top? Anyone else have this?

This version I have confirmed works fine - thanks for the link, I need my swiftkey asap can't take the stock keyboard anymore
If someone could post when Amazon updates the app store so it doesn't nag you to update all the time that would be great. You can't disable it or your amazon installed apps quit working already tried.

I have the same problem. Downloaded mine from the Amazon website. I contacted them and the guy said he will put in a "ticket" for the problem since he was unable to figure it out or fix with all the usual tactics. Says he will get back to me on Tuesday. Until them, I plan to use that link and go download and instal an older version cause I really need my Swiftkey and a few other apps to be on my One ASAP!
I did the same thing. The amazon app keeps prompting for a critical update.. Will it work or have the same bug as the "current" that displayed a blank screen.
I finally found it in the Play Store and it works. Find and dl an app called Amazon Free App Notifier (something like that) sign up and you have to dl the App Store from there. Then you can uninstall the Notifier app.

I submitted a ticket yesterday, and Amazon replied it was a known issue and they were working on a fix. Also, apparently the new 1.29 patch released in Europe solves the problem as well.
I just updated and the new app store is like the one on my Kindle fire hd.

I can't get any of the various versions to work. I have a feeling that, in my case, it's related to the Viper 1.03 ROM I installed today. The Amazon appstore was working fine yesterday.... As of now, it almost seems like I'm only seeing the middle of the app - there's no way for me to get to the settings, e.g. to get to "my apps." Frankly, I wish I had the hard button back for menu. Anyway, I suppose it's worth the tradeoff to have the Viper ROM, but still....

Newest version of Amazon app store working fine for me on viper 1.03.
Did you try wolfpack kernel? It gives logo to menu button mod.

OMG, <facepalm> -- you made me realize that the problem is that I turned on the "press and hold for menu" back button behavior in viper, which then hides the menu icon. Duh! Well, the good news for me is that I hadn't noticed the whole logo2menu hack before, so I installed wolfpack anyway. Thanks!

Fleksy on Galaxy Gear

Hi,
I love using Fleksy on my phone
I've seen Fleksy run on the Omate TrueSmart watch.
Does anybody know if it can run on the Gear?
How would I go about loading it on the Gear?
Thanks!
It didn't work when I tried, you have to side load it to your watch! How to side load via youtube! http://youtu.be/lriJxw8IoSo
Did it work after you side loaded it ?

I thought the same when I sideloaded it few days ago, and when I tried it today it worked!
Maybe because I rebooted the device??
No idea but it rocks!

I haven't even heard of Fleksy until just now, all I can saw is that it's amazing on my S3!
The auto-correct is one of the best I've seen so far, would be cool if the integrated a way to import personal dictionaries from SMS or FB like Swiftkey or Swype.

Looks like that is assuming you don't have another keyboard installed if you have null and the keyboard installed you will have to select it.

Yep that's the one feature I will miss with samsung keyboard those damn txt shortcuts. I still find myself typing 111 and expecting my email to show up LOL its not going to.
Not exactly convenient, but pulling down the drop down menu and press "select keyboard". Google voice will be an option. It records until done and returns to Samsung keyboard.
