For those having problem activating the Swype keyboard on 4.3, just disable the 'auto replacement' option in the Samsung keyboard settings.

Make sure the language is UK English. You may or may not have to reboot, YMMV.

Back to samsung keyboard
I was kept using Swype for some year, then i changed to Swiftkey, but now im back to stock galaxy keyboard.
It seems the current swype keyboard is more accurate than the earlier version..... It tends to get the words more correctly as if checking the sense...
Swipe Keyboard not working
Being using Dr Ketan initial version for 3 days. Swipe keyboard doesn't work on first day, but 2nd day, it works again. Then on 3rd day...loosing it permanently. Thought of changing to Wanam V4 would have better luck. But same.
Too bad that Swipe keyboard not working. Hope the official release would solve this issue.

Swype keyboard sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It's really random so it's kinda hit or miss if this will fix it for you.
The disappearing Google account can be fixed by doing a full wipe. I had this too and this fixed it for me.
Yes, it works now. Thanks for the info.

I lost US android keyboard vibration on key press after I updated to Touch Wiz. Samsung keyboard vibration still works. Anybody here has the same issue? I am not rooted, stock everything.
Yeah, its been like that since the first leaked touchwiz. No fixes for it yet and I noticed some third-party keyboards haptic won't work either.

Yeah, noticed this too. Come to think of it, the Galaxy S had this too when custom ROMs for Froyo started coming out. Eventually it was fixed, but not sure how. Kinda annoying being that I prefer the Android keyboard over the Samsung one.

I'm not carrying my tablet to verify, but did you try go to the setting of android keyboard and selecting vibrate option. Atleast, that option is present on my Captivate for gingerbread android keyboard.

That is useless. It replaces words such as 'at' after you have typed them and pressed space with ones like 'or' or 'now' it's crazy!
This option is not in US phones has something to do with apples law suit against Samsung for autocorrect. I use swiftkey because of this, works great.

I don't see Microsoft suing for use of auto-correct. Apple is just plain asinine in that regard.

Right I was reluctant to try it because I felt the stock should work right but after using it I wouldn't have it any other way. Completely changes your interaction with the phone.

Used to swear by the stock Google AOSP keyboard, couldn't get used to Swiftkey at first but after 2 weeks of using it, I love it.
Any idea why it doesn't even work with an international ROM?
Still doesn't automatically autocorrect for me.
EDIT: Oops this was supposed to be in Q&A sorry.
It doesn't auto correct period. Download smart keyboard pro or root and flash Xperia keyboard which has the best auto correct ever.

I agree. But hey to each his own right.
The Samsung keyboard, even though it's a version of SwiftKey, is crippled without autocorrect so I just use the normal SwiftKey which is amazingly awesome. I thought I really wanted the always-there number row on the Samsung keyboard, but adjusting the key hold duration to ~200ms on SwiftKey makes inserting numbers nearly as good while taking up less screen space.

That is a great suggestion for the SwiftKey keyboard. I have multiple keyboards loaded and find myself constantly switching back and forth. Different KBs have their pros and cons. I like the number key on the Samsung KB, but missing AC is not so nice.
Reducing the key hold duration per your suggestion makes SwiftKey much more usable for me. It's now back to my default KB.
Heh. The KBs I have on my GS4 are:
A.I. type KB free
AnySoftKB
Kii KB
MessageEase KB (never really got into this one)
Swype
Samsung (OEM)
Google voice (OEM)
TouchPal KB
SwiftKey KB

Rename the Samsung keyboard and add .bak to LatinIME.apk (or something like that) and it will not be activated after a boot.
Same thing happened to me with SwiftKey too. I deleted all other keyboards so now SwiftKey is my only keyboard and it's fine

And it's not a big deal anyway, if it did I can always put stock keyboard back in system/apps.

I was using the T9 (12 digit keypad) for texting up until just now when I changed it to qwerty keyboard - tried to change back under keyboard settings, only to find the T9 option wasn't there anymore?
What can I do? It's driving me nuts, I can't type using qwerty properly
That keyboard is actually using SwiftKey technology under the hood. Sony added a new skin and some different options a customizations and repacked it as Xperia keyboard. So what you are using is SwiftKey "by Sony", Samsung also did that with the S4 and Note 3. It is great because we have the greatest keyboard on the market out of the box.

I don't get it though because I had the T9 previously before the update, & after the update it was still there. I managed to untick the options several times until now, & the option to use T9 was gone. I really don't like the small keys (& I have extremely small fingers!) - is there a way to get the T9 back or is this a bug from Sony?
EDIT: Ok another weird thing is that I managed to kinda fix my problem. I CAN use T9 but not under the international keyboard (default one), but under the Chinese keyboard instead? I guess I'll have to stick with that for now.. But before the option was DEFINITELY availble under the international/default one. No idea what has happened =/

Because it uses SwiftKey's word prediction technology which is one of the best out there. If you ever used SwiftKey (which is a paid app) you could see how great it is.
By the way, is there a way to add other languages than English to this keyboard? I like the T9 more than full keyboard.

Yes read my post, swipe down from the top bar & choose a different one than xperia default. I can't find any other ways to get the T9 back on the default one so the chinese 1 will have to do for now.
I might give it a go again. I like it visually better than the google one I use, but ever since the google one came out I've found it incredible, especially how well the predictions work. I found the Sony one was just horrible when the phone came out, it would miss so many words that were just one adjacent letter out. The google one I find flawless, and on top of that, the second word prediction is just incredible.
It is a big improvement but is missing one great feature from Swift Key. I like to be able to shorten the length of time to hold down a key to use its secondary input.
