[Help] Swype keyboard vibrate - HD2 General

Ok so I dont know how many of you here are using the swype keyboard on the HD2, I have a Tmo us so it comes with it and it's a lot easy than the HTC one. One thing that bother me is when you have to tap on the keyboard to input words that are not in the dictionary, it doesnt vibrate or make a sound. Now on my Nexus 1, I also have a swype beta version on it, and it vibrate and have sound feed back when I tap in words. I'm wondering is there a setting that I might have miss on the swype keyboard for Winmo? Maybe there is a registry I can edit to have it vibrate at least? Any idea?

I really want swype to vibrate as well. Why I don't know but I just do.

Vibrate Soft Keyboard Feature?

hey guys i was trying out the android sdk for the vogue and it is awesome..especially the keyboard and how it vibrates every time you press a key. i was wondering if there is a program or registry edit that can make windows keyboard do that? i currently use pcm keyboard and that would be an awesome addition to wm6.1. idk if it is possible but i would love that add-on
EDIT: i heard pcm has done that for v0.16 but it is still very unstable and the skins suck right now..unless someone can make that setting for v0.14 or a program/edit can do that i guess we might just have to wait till v0.17
try voa vibrate.exe

Well, the one problem with the Vibrate option is that it may cause the White Dot Issue, which somehow gets onto the screen and stays there due to the Vibrate Mechanism..I'm not sure why, but it has happened to beware.

Quick Q about SMS and Keyboard use

Hey all,
Just looking at getting this phone but not sure about something. Im a big time texter and love a proper slide out qwerty keyboard. I however like this phone.
What is the SMS like with the on screen keyboard? Is it workable? I've seen online that you can change the keyboard style but not sure if this control is on SMS. Can you change the keyboard on SMS too?
I've also read a post where someone said the on screen keyboard was in the way of a new text when looking at a thread of sms conversation. And you have to keep scrolling down. Still a problem? Bad one? Fixed?
What do you think really? Would love this phone to come out with a "HD PRO" keyboard.
Thanks all,
D.
I use the standard keyboard, and got used to using the compact qwerty keyboard. At the beginning I was slow mainly due to using the keypad style as in my previous phones. But now I can type very fast and very comfortably. You can also activate a click sound everytime you press a key and it will give you feedback. But I type perfect without it anyway.

Other keyboards than Swype?

I know there's Swype and the standard Android keyboard but are there any other virtual keyboard configurations? I've seen the HTC T9 keyboard you get with Sense UI, does the Galaxy S have something like this?
Besides Swype there's the Samsung keyboard. Yesterday there was a little surprise in the Samsung Apps program: Vlingo. Has kind of T9 and speech technology. Speech recognition doesn't seem very stable.
NB: you have to press and hold the "input field" to switch the input method.

Really? I tried it and I love it. Gave a few demos to people in the office with 'Text Jim, hey this is me showing off my new phone and playing with Vlingo'. Then they wait for their own phone to beep with the message and they're amazed that the text is all correct.
Incidently, was popular with the iPhone owners, because aparently you can override the phone and message app like that on the Apple.
You need 2 touches of the screen, one to confirm the contact and 1 to confirm the message, so there's no danger of something embarrasingly wrong being sent to the wrong person.

How to change default onscreen keyboard?

I'm install alternate onscreen keyboard, but can't shut down defautl keyboard. It suppress alternate by priority in input methods list.
Only solution i can think of is to root your phone and get Startup Manager and turn it off in there, I did.
Just press and hold the textbox or writing area, there you change "input method" to swype or samsung keyboard.
If I understand it right, OP wants the chosen input method to stick, so that it do not go back to a different one during soft reset. I'm interested in the solution too. I do not want to remove the default stock keyboard though, as I still want it in some situation.
If I go to Settings, Locale and Text and tick the newly installed keyboard (in my case the Droid X keyboard), then press and hold in an input area and select Input Options and use the new keyboard it stays the default keyboard, even after a soft reset.
If I then change back to the default keyboard by pressing and holding in an input area and selecting the Samsung Keypad, THAT will then stay as the default keypad, even after a soft reset.
The same works for the HTC_IME.
So I fail to see what the problem is.
The main annoyance I have is that neither the Droid X nor HTC_IME have a navigational arrows keyboard like the stock keyboard does. WHY WHY WHY did Samsung not make that menu button an OPTICAL TRACKPAD? They managed it on the Omnia and other smartphones. Without this feature, despite my love of this phone, I am falling out of love with this handset.

Hey, you're right! It does stick. My bad.
Wow, Droid X and HTC_IME must be so good, that you must find it so difficult to give up. I must try them.
I wouldn't bother with HTC iME if I were you: Droid X keyboard is head and shoulders above anything else out there as it uses multitouch to bolster its already rather solid prediction algorithms. for me it is as good as the iphone keyboard. I have REALLY tried to like Swype but still find it clunky in instances when I need to input numbers and letters or very specific words, and I cant swype a long word as quickly as i can tap out the first few letters of a long word and allow word prediction to finish it for me.
As for the default keyboard....well it has some nice features but I find myself getting terribly irritated by it when I really need it to work.
Hi Eaglesteve by the way. remember our many conversations in the HTC Advantage forums? I hope you've found a better device since then! it's amazing how things have moved on since then.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Leoni. Yes, iPhone keyboard is hard to beat. I'll give Droid X keyboard a go then.
Yes, those days on the HTC advantage forum is memorable for me, and I enjoyed the friendship and conversations with folks there. Yes, technology has really changed within a very short time, and I love it. Glad to be living in this generation. You're far more frequent phone changer than I have been, I noticed, almost never missing out on any device. I think as a result you're one of the most open minded and unbiased persons when making comparisons between them, and I enjoy reading your comments all the time.
Hey Leoni, after installing Droid X keyboard, it is not showing up when I go to setting, locale. When I click on the pass-dx2200 icon, I was given the choice of installing PandaHome2, which I did, although I hate the home screen now.
Is there a special procedure to follow before Droid X keyboard would appear on the setting for it to be ticked?

[Q] Want Keyboard sounds on, dialpad sound off

I have searched this question, but haven't found an answer yet.
I would like to have the phone dialpad sounds disabled, but have the Swype keyboard sounds enabled. Is there anyway to do this? Thanks!
settings/sound & display/untick "audible touch tones"
good day.
Tried..
Thanks for your feedback. I unselected "Audible touch tones" and it silences the phone keypad, but unfortunately also silences the Swype keyboard presses.
Aha. I had to unfreeze swype to see what you were talking. I see what you are saying and thats quite a dilemma. Yes with that selection off it grays out the sound selection in swype but yet with the android keyboard or touch pal you have the option of on or off with the touch tones disabled. Swype was too much for me and thats why I had it frozen in titanium. After years of winmo and using Touch Pal I can type like a mad man on that thing. Hope someone else strolls by to shed some light on your issue.
good day.
Thanks
Thanks for your feedback and thoughts.
