Using SPen for texting - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

So I used my S Pen today for texting when I realize that I have to hit the spacebar every time. I didn't see an option for it automatically space when using the S Pen or am I blind lol.
Thanks in advance!

Mine auto spaces when I use swype.

The auto-spacing only half works.
The critical thing to do to get some auto-spacing is to write multiple words out on one line. You won't fit much, maybe 2-3 at the very most, but it will auto space these.
Trying to do one word at a time and letting it clear the screen, doesn't auto-space at all. Very annoying for sure.

Yes indeed grrr.. just the little things. But the little things are fixable

This makes no sense at all, it's so counterintuitive. I thought for sure I was missing a section.

As stated above all words written on the screen at a time will auto space but when the screen clears you have to space. What I have found easier than hitting the space bar though, is ate the screen clears you can "write" the space by writing a very short left to right dash.

I believe that you need to draw a - and that's the way to tell it put space. .

I know you're talking about actually writing words out but I would just wait for Swiftkey Flow you won't ever need to stop moving the pen.

Why wait? Just go into the settings for the Samsung Keyboard on your phone and enable Swiftkey Flow right now.

Every time you pick up the pen and write a new word, Swift key flow does a space (Was done in Swift key flow without pressing space).

Unless i'm also missing something, when i use the pen with swiftkey flow enabled for handwriting recognition.
Everytime I write a word, let it recognize and start a new word it does NOT auto space.
Hope this is just a setting I missed or something??
Or are you just talking about drawing from letter to letter on the keyboard, just with the pen?

Swiftkey flow is swype so I thought that is what you meant. Let me test handwritten.
So, I figured it out. You have to write until thee is no more room on the pad then you let it recognize the text you have written. Once it does that, write a small dash (left to right) and that will make a space. you can then repeat the process. Hope this helps. Writing like this is pretty fun.

Yea, that is how i have been doing it too, i just wish it would auto space itself. On a screen this big i don't see the advantage of having the default be to continue the current word, rather than start a new one. Guess i'll just be training myself to space, just hard to remember.
I sent random texts to my girlfriend all night long just playing with the handwriting. Works really well too!
Thanks again.

Eh. It's only once every 2 lines of text so it doesn't bother me very much. I like to use Swype with the s-pen. It seems to be the fastest way to type.

Why not use voice dictation to text since it autospaces and especially if your hands are tied?

Swiftkey is where it's at. I've tried every other keyboard for Android that I could find, none of them seem to function as well or as smooth.

Ya not having the arrows is a problem when texting. Because if I need to type a word that doesnt exist in the dictionary but I dont want to add it Im sort of out of luck, since I can't select the other word.

Arrows are disgusting lol the gingerbread text selector is wayyyyyyyy better. Also does anyone else get "lol" in all caps when they type it? I do and i always have to press the lowercase version which is getting annoying LOL.
Get the < > you just press the "12#" then "1/2". You would think since we have a longer screen we would have plenty of room for the arrow keys. If we ever get root we can try some of the other keyboards and possibly get it to work.

You don't have to hit the space bar with Swype. Just swype the next word.
And I'm actually surprised at how many people missed the arrows. I used to see everyone complaining about them and using the HTC-IME Mod. Personally, I use Smart Keyboard Pro with the HTC skin, and it's perfect for me. You can also enable arrows that are just like the ones on the HTC keyboard if you want.

If you're using swype, you shouldn't need to be hitting the spacebar. It does that automatically for you, unless you're tapping on letters - and swype 2 SUCKS at tapping.
Swype 3, different story - it's WAY better than swype 2.
But no root, no swype 3 beta
For everyone wondering how to calibrated it. Go to settings, keyboard, touch input, text input, and at the bottom It's called Calibration Tool

This is...kind of not difficult but different. Getting used to the keyboard will take awhile. It is very easy to enter short phrases and times. Creating your own is equally as easy but the ergonomics of the keyboard arent to my liking.
Maybe I'll look at it again in the future.

Really, just hop on. Swype's keyboard doesnt restrict you to just swyping so you can go back and forth with ease.
A point that might be relevant: when I tried using swype 6 months ago, I wasnt using Dolphin Browser. I mention DB b/c it has a gesture feature simliar to swype's where you can assign gestures to web addresses. I believe DB helped me get acclimated to Swype's gesture typing.
Also, you should at least read part of the tutorial after you download the app; it is actually helpful.

This really is quite silly of Samsung. The keyboard has auto prediction and in my experience the auto prediction works quite well. The problem is that the keyboard will only input what you actually type regardless of whether or not it's correct. If you want to enter a predicted word you have to tap it yourself. I can't imagine it would be too difficult for Samsung to change the keyboard to favor the top predicted word, which would essentially be auto correct.
I'm still using the Samsung keyboard though because I'm getting along with the Swiftkey flow integration rather nicely.

I'm actually really happy for the number row since I use numbers frequently and it was a pain having to constantly toggle it on/off. And, that auto-correction is disabled as I usually disable it any. Just had to turn off auto-spacing and auto-capitalization because it was wreaking havoc on authenticating into web sites like this one as it was adding a space in-between my password. Good riddance I say...

It is reported that upcoming 4.1.2 (not 4.2) enhancements will include integrated "swyping" functionality into the keyboard so it wouldnt make sense for them not to rectify the autocorrection issue.

Did the stock Sammy JB keyboard in the GS3 have no autocorrect either? Or does that phone still run ICS?
I might just have to switch to Swiftkey or Thumb Keyboard again - but that number row is GREAT - it is hard to turn away from it.
Yeah I went back to the stock samsung keyboard just cuz of the numbers... silly but I'm loving it! Just hooing for auto-correction. Maybe if they dont fix it someone will come out with a 3rd party with numbers!

Yup, no autocorrect. I'm using Swiftkey now.
It seems the Samsung keyboard is actually a variation of the swiftkey flow. I wonder if it's something to do with that. The flow part works pretty well and I love the number row

Any keyboard other than stock slid to one side?

So, the stock keyboard seems to absolutely suck.
Most of the text predictions seem to be proper nouns from a long dead Eastern European language and every time I look for an "m" I trigger the delete key.
I can't always have 2 hands free to operate this behemoth, so I need a keyboard set up on the right hand side. Do any of them do it other than the retarded stock ap?

That's a nice list but it still doesn't answer the question regarding which ones are resizeable for one handed operation on this phone. So far I've found that Kii and SlideIT are acceptable alternatives but Kii keyboard is not moveable from one side to the other. I still like the stock Samsung keyboard better if it just had auto correct.
Sometimes changing the DPI on the keyboard will move it over, but personally I like Swype. I use it normal, but what really helps the one handed use across the whole device is my Flygrip. Best accessory I've ever bought.

Yes but that requires going into the settings every time you want to switch sides. I'm talking about the ability to switch sides quickly for using with either hand. SlideIT has a bar which can be pulled from side to side. I do like the top row numbers on the Kii keyboard though. I'd only used the samsung keyboard for about a week and was already accustomed to using the top row numbers.

I'm digging TouchPal. Have you compared the two? Instead of long pressing, TouchPal allows you to press on key and slide up to choose upper character (number),slide down for punctuation. You can also press delete button or slide from delete left to delete entire word. Finally, it suggests words that show up between the keys that can be selected by dragging then to space bar. I also forgot that you can slide space bar up to select emotions. I'm sure there's more... LOL

If TouchPal had top row numbers it would be very close to the default Samsung keyboard. So close but not quite.

HTC One (swype) keyboard show delay

i've been using my HTC One for over a month now.
it's great, but the keyboard shows with an increasing delay.
currently when i try to type something, it takes 1-2 seconds for the keyboard to show.
everything else is fast and responsive.
is it because it's loading some dictionary on every show?
is there a way to reset it ?
I haven't had that issue at all. Very fast for me. What see you trying to use it in? Was there a specific app this happens in?

The keyboard is not as good as the real Swype. It doesn't detect when your swiping is unintentionally off target. I had to download the real Swype keyboard to get comfortable again.

What I mean is, the stock keyboard also allows typing by simply sliding a finger from the first letter of a word to its last letter, just like Swype. But the stock keyboard is not as good in predicting the word you intend to type.

You could try the Swype off the Play Store, I believe it's on sale for $1.
Or swiftkey, both are great
