I was on S4 and never got used to the keyboard so switched to Google. But on Note 3 I tried Google did not get used to it and went back on the Samsung one which works much better and faster maybe because of the screen size than google. In fact I am typing faster on it than before.

I agree, I like the Samsung Keyboard better on the Note 3.

SwiftKey is still king.
I've wanted to like other keyboards, but no matter how many I try, I always end up with my favorite, Swype with Dragon. I find the method for punctuation is second to none. Swiping from the question mark our exclamation point to the space bar is instantaneous. No hitting a button and waiting for punctuation. Again that's not to hate on the others, I just can't find one I like better.

I was using the Google keyboard on the S4 and I agree I do like the Samsung keyboard on the N3

Is there a way to remove the Long press Numbers and Symbols from the standard Samsung Keyboard?
What is weird is that I've seen videos on Youtube with clean Samsung keyboard, with no long press symbols or character on the letters or numbers, so I do not understand why my phone has those, see attached print screen. "+ on the Q", "= on the E", "@ on the A", etc.
See, if I could get it so that I just swipe the punctuation or symbols, like you've mentioned, I'd probably love that keyboard

Must be somewhere in settings. Has to be. I don't have them at all. I think check in your settings and try to see there.

I tried it and thought I liked it at first,, it is a good keyboard but after a few hours I quickly missed SwiftKey and installed.
THE BEAST,,NOTE 3. SIZE IS EVERYTHING!!!
Yeah I love the new keyboard. I love the fact that it has auto correct now, instead where before it would not correct your mistakes, instead it would give you a suggestion. Since I'm a pretty fast texter this is KEY for me. They implemented what Google keyboard and swift key had so I'm a happy camper. I love the numbers on the top and the fact that I can have emojis on it built in. Idk if the others do it but I'm sticking with the new Samsung keyboard. My only wish is that it should have a dark mode. Because I kinda don't like the white keys. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I had a Galaxy S3 before and installed different keyboards... but the stock Samsung keyboard on the Galaxy Note 3 seems really good.

Reading all that makes me laugh.....I came from an iOS background and there you had the one keyboard, if you didn't like it too bad. Yay for customisation!
Yes I agree...The keyboard on the Note 3 is wayyy better than the keyboard I had on my old Note 2 and S4. I use to use the Google Keyboard also but now I don't.

Love the keyboard on the note 3 as well. I only wish that you could customize the key next to the space bar like you could on the note 2.

I really like the next word prediction with SwiftKey. Vastly increases my typing speed. That would be hard for me to give up.
The stock keyboard is working great so far!

i just need a more convenient comma button and i'll be golden..long press period to get to a comma is stupid..Or hitting Sym to get to comma is stupid as well..Other than that it is awesome
SwiftKey is the ruler!

This is exactly my issue. This is why I always go back to Swype with Dragon

I found Google keyboard easier for me for some reason. For me its easier for one handed operation.

Does the Samsung keyboard allow auto correct with the spacebar? I love that on the Google keyboard. I don't think the Samsung keyboard on the note 2 did that.

The new keyboard is much much better then my previous phones... I always used swift key instead but now I'm liking this new keyboard on the N3...

Yes. Funny how in the S1 there used to be a comma button on the left side of the space button. Dunno why they had to change it :(. Anyway, I think the SYM button works better than the long press, select press and hide press -combo of that stupid dot button.
I think it might be related to the version of the phone, International vs US, I have the N900T (T-Mobile), which version do you have?
I have swift and I actually like the Samsung note 3 better. The only cool thing with the swift is the themeing
I completely agree
Agreed. I spent some time using the Samsung keyboard on the N3 when I first got it and was impressed, it's a solid keyboard but in the end I found I like Swype the best. I've used Swift key too but IMHO, for me, Swype rules all. The shortcuts it has (like ? and ! as described above) are awesome. But again the Samsung keyboard on the N3 is, to quote Larry David, "pret-teeee, pre-teeeee, pret-teeeeee good!" :)
This is a good trend I've been seeing from not just Samsung, but several OEMS this year. Better keyboards, photo galleries, dialer, sms, and other 'core' apps than the stock Google offerings. I'm also seeing them get away from the gimmick features and more actually good and useful features. Let's hope it continues :-)
