This may turn out to be an inane question, but I have had my unlocked Galaxy S I9000 for two weeks and have not been able to figure out how to turn on the Swipe keyboard feature. I have suffered through the tutorial where the feature worked just fine but unless I overlooked something there was no mention of turning the feature either on or off. All of the feature's adjustments under the settings heading appear to be initiated so, what have I missed?
Thank you in advance.
On my hero I have to first go into SETTINGS, LANGUAGE & KEYBOARD, then de-select my htc keyboard and select swype

I've done the tutorial but i still can't get it to work!!!

Press and hold down on the area where you want to enter the text. Select input method -> Swype.
Thanks for that, I wouldn't have found that in a month of Sundays!
Why isn't Swipe in the normal input selection.
I am using FroyoStone Sense V2 build - this build is using Android 2.2 with sense and it is brilliant on my HD2. I have set it up and am quite happy with it one thing I had trouble doing is disabling the vibrate on the dial pad - I have now found out how to diable the vibrate on the dial pad but it is a bit of a cheat way doing it.
I just downloaded NubDial from market place and it seems to sort the problem. It is free and has a nice simple black keyboard. It is fully intragrated into the address book and when you select the phone button it will prompt which dialer to use, simply select the nubdial and select the option to make as default!
If the vibrate is enabled in this dial pad simply click on windows key for settings and then go to Settings -> uncheck Enable haptic feedback! works a treet

I have managed to do it on the keyboard but cant seem to find a setting for the dial pad its self.
Does any body know how to turn this off, or is there a .apk I can download to turn this off?

I want to know too.
settings --------------> Sounds---------->haptic feedback
Don't think you can. If you go to settings, sound, there's an option to turn of haptic feedback in applications IIRC. Not sure if that would work though...
***Edit*** Tested it, doesn't work!
I searched all over the web, it seems you can't disable dial pad haptic feedback, in a mean time I use third party dial pad.

For those who have not solved this. On your 'phone' dial pad screen, click windows button, Preferences and some where in the middle you will see "Enable Haptic Feedback" check or on check, whatever your preference is and this will take care of Haptic feedback when you dial.

In sense version, on phone dial pad screen, click windows button, then phone settings, it only have edit default message, edit message, save to contact, there is nothing about haptic feedback
In vanilla version, on phone dial pad screen, in phone tab, windows key won't work, call log, contacts, favorites tabs windows key works, but there still is nothing about haptic feedback,
Im just wondering what dial pad you have.
This may have been an android 2.1 version, I think you were able to disable it there. Use the NubDial it is a nice simple dial pad free to download from market place!
If the vibrate is enabled in this dial pad simply click on windows key for settings and then go to Settings -> uncheck Enable haptic feedback! works a treet
I want to disable haptic feed back on my keyboard too, not just my phone dialpad. Turning it off in the phone settings doesn't do anything. I'm using FroyoStone_Sense_V3.1. Has anyone found a solution?

Haptic settings don't work
I've disabled haptic feedback in the android settings, under sound. It's the only place I could find to change the setting. It doesn't work.

Where should this question go then? I'm thinking if we had a stock android phone the settings would be working. [EDIT] Oh, I see that this could go under HD2 Android General Discussion.

This does not work on all versions of android. I have tried on some versions and this option is not availabe. Seems to be versions with sense enabled like the desire builds. Ones with out sense has this option. EG nesus one builds.
I installed swiftkey today to play around with it but uninstalled it. However now the input method menu option is still showing in text fields, even though android keyboard is the only choice. Anyone know how to get rid of this? Restarting and reinstalling / uninstalling swiftkey did not help. Thanks.
try clearing data for the keyboard?

Nice idea....no dice though!
Well this is odd...I restored a nandroid from before I installed swiftkey (only had android keyboard as an option) and the input method menu option is still there. Is this how its always been on cyanogenmod or something and I never noticed? I know it used to not show up, but now I don't know when that changed.

So you got it working? If not then go into MENU>SETTINGS>LANGUAGEAND KEYBOARDS and puput a check mark in the box for your keyboard and then long press in a text field and it should be there.
I think the problem is that he can't get the option for the keyboard to go away, not that he can't get it to show up. I've never heard of a problem like this. How did you uninstall Swiftkey?

Yeah that's the problem, its not that the option for swiftkey is still there, its that the "input method" menu option is present in all text field context menus, and when you choose it, the only option is "android keyboard". I believe that in the past, if you only had one keyboard, "input method" did not show up at all. So I restored a nandroid to before I installed swiftkey, and "input method" is still showing despite having only one keyboard, which is why I'm confused.
I just uninstalled swiftkey the regular way from the running tab of applications.
So, if you're running cm6.1, do you see "input method" even with only one keyboard installed?
Ahhh, I see. The input method will always show up, regardless of how many keyboards you have. This happens to everyone and to my knowledge it isn't a bug.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. I believe with the stock Sense ROM it removed that option when only one keyboard was enabled, but I guess I never noticed it didn't behave that way in AOSP/Cyanogen.
stupid question,
In previous versions of android, I could long press a text field to bring up the "select input method" box to quickly switch between keyboards installed on the device without having to leave the app I was in.
I don't seem able to do that in JellyBean?
I have Swiftkey 3 Tablet installed if that makes any difference.
Am I missing something obvious?
bring up the kb and long press space on stock kb
thanks, that's great,
but what I really want to do is switch from Swiftkey 3 Tablet to another input method like the handwriting input that comes with "7notes".
the more input methods you select in 'settings>language and input' the more options should appear to switch between. Or, is that not appearing using swiftkey?
long pressing space in swiftkey doesnt seem to do anything.
I have ticked boxes next to "swiftkey", "google voice typing" and "7notes mazec" in language and input settings.
The only way i have found to use the mazec one is to set it as default input method, but then I have to go back into settings
after I have used it to set swiftkey back as default.
When tap on text entry box a little keyboard icon should appear in notification bar. Swipe down and you should see option to change input method

I figured it out in the GBoard app.
I wanna use aboard how would I set it as default
I found that turning the others off, then on again in settings left the last man standing as the default, but there's a better way, at least on my S7 (not edge).
Once you have the keyboard open, swipe down from the top of the screen, and there should be an option "Android System, Change Keyboard". Works for me, anyway.
