It seems that other people have asked about this too, but no one really has an answer. I think that this is something that just about everyone would use.
I would love for my keyboard to automatically choose swype in portrait and the regular keyboard in landscape mode. Anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks!

ya, but it ain't free :S
Just switch your screen to landscape and your keyboards will be in landscape as well.
Silly question, only had my phone a couple of days but how do you change to landscape mode, so far I only have managed to flip the screen in opera but nothing else?

Well, i just basicly want to text easier, if i flip my phone sideways, it remains the same while texting, i dont understand what you mean, i cant switch it to landscape, can i? how?
you need GSen for screen rotation in virtually all windows except TF3D.
look it up in the forum stickies
Well i cant get gsen to work for me, or even the newer thing
install gsen, tap gsen toggle, you should get a message "Gsen is already working. Turn it off?" or smth like that. like i said, it works in all windows except TF3D.
if that doesn't work for you, flash another rom that has gsen incorporated.
if you still have problems, re-calibrate your gsensor.
worked for me.

Well.. It doesn't look as if anyone has answered your question, so just in case you still need help:
There are two popular programs that you can use, these would be Gyrator and gSen. If the links don't work both can be found on these forums.
Personally I like gSen better since it seems to be a little bit less "buggy". To each his own, though.

You could always just map the long-press Talk button to screen rotation. However, I find it much more difficult to use the QWERTY layout in landscape. The buttons are actually smaller b/c they try to keep in on 3 rows.
i had a app called butler on my touch pro that would change the keyboard based on if it was slid out so null kb would pop up.
i want something like this so i can use regular keyboard in landscape and swype in portrait.
has this come out yet?
That is A very good piece of thought! Swype in Portrait mode is just perfect, but in landscape the HTC keyboard works better for me, so if there is a way to achieve this automatically (yes, I know, I can switch the kbd on demand, but it's still 2 extra taps each time rotating the screen), that would be great.

BUMP BUMP BUMP lol
Is it possible to set two different input methods? Ideally, I'd like to use Swype if the phone is upright and have the phone switch automatically to multi-touch keyboard when I slide the keyboard out. I have looked around on the phone and am not sure if this is possible.

I was looking for a way to do this a while back, but didn't have any luck. For me the perfect setup would be Swype in portrait mode and HTC IME in landscape. I really hope somebody finds a solution for this.
bump. Anyone know? Maybe this should be moved to the general forum?
I think I have it. If you disable auto-rotate and try to type a text upright it will pull up the multi-touch (or swype) soft keyboard but if you slide out the keyboard and start typing it will input that way.
Does that work for you guys?
Edit: I don't think auto rotate has anything to do with input method, sorry.
Can you clarify your question? where do you want to input stuff? text?
Well, you know how if you start typing on the slide out keyboard, word suggestions and punctuation will be available at the very bottom of the touch screen for quick access? That only happens when multi-touch keyboard is enabled. If you type on the slide out with Swype enabled, this doesn't happen and makes typing on the keyboard take a lot longer than it would otherwise.
So I was asking if there was a way to make the phone automatically switch input methods based on its orientation. If it's upright, Swype for faster text input on a touch screen. If it's horizontal or the KB is out, multi-touch keyboard for faster KB typing.
And yes, this is for all text entry.
Is there any way to calibrate the landscape keyboard?
Every time i try to press o, i get ip. each letter either side of o.
Its a bit mad and very annoying.
I have tried to mash the keypad for a dialing wand but this does not have good success either
I've not had the problem you mention in landscape, I just tried it there while sending a rude text message to a friend (she'll appreciate it). If anything I'm having issues on the other side of the keyboard in landscape but I hardly ever type in landscape.
Hmm, yeah a friend has now also confirmed that he has no issue but he doesn't use landscape much either.
When you say you are having issues in the other side? Do you mean you have other keys with same issue?
Maybe there is just an issue with our screens? No calibration option for the landscape keyboard?

I mean the other side of the keyboard, QW etc side. I think it's down to the way I hold it and calibration helped a little but this is all in portrait mode. I find it difficult to hold in landscape and type one handed accurately so I use the two thumbs method.
